years ago, Its development has been

be In position next fall to furnish
seed OF the plant TO large number
OF persons who might wish TO exper-

leans the chayote Is known as the

the "tayote;" In the West Indies IL Is
called the "choncho," "chaiota" and
'pepinella:" in France, the christie
phine," and In the English colonies
II Is known as the vegetable pear"
The chayote Is a most peculiar vine
in many respects. In the first place
the chayote Is one Of the few plants
whose fruit is planted whole for
seeding purposes instead OF merely
placing the single seed into the
ground. The vegetable is almost pure
white. pear-shaped. and weighs from
ten TO twenty ounces, each being
about the size OF the largest pair
which comes on the market. There
are number OF varieties. some OF
which are fairly smooth, while others
are covered with small thorns. The
fruit is divided into either Ave or
six segments by heavy lines much
like the lines which run over a can
taloupe.
The chayote vine is perennial. un.
like most other vegetable plants and
produces fruit IT'S first year. A Cal

mer could sell them In large ouanti-
ties at 3 to cents apiece, which
would pay him SO to $3.50 per vine.
In the Los Angeles market the cha

there. Is about as cents dozen. In

vine will not produce fruit north of
the Carolinas. To encourage practical
experiments the suggestion Is made
that farmers grow two or three cha

have enough OF the vegetables to sup

Prince Leopold, the recently de-

before his fatal illness, fell asleep at
q dinner party Immediately after the
first course. His guests were re-
strained by etiquette from waking
him, but continued their conversation
In allow tone. The servants did not
dare to continue serving the dinner.
The prince soon commenced to
Bnore, and slept on for two hours, dur
ing which time no one allowed himself
to leave his place. The guests sat
famished in the same room with a
marvelously appointed dinner. Finally
Prince Leopold awoke. He took hur-
ried glance round the table and saw
only a number of perfectly correct
faces successfully pretending to have
noticed nothing. Persuaded that his
slight lapse had passed completely un-
remarked. he said quietly, Now let US

accordingly and proceeded to the
drawing-room. They were served with
coffee, liqueurs. cigars. The prince.
