REFUGEES. IN RICH ATTIRE.
English Writer Describes erotesq's
Figures. He Saw During the
italian Retreat.

; Amid all the chaos Of the Italian re-
treat one kept on meeting utterly In
congruous figures, for alongside OF
others road-worn, shabby and dirty, to
be clean and we'll dressed Is to De
grotesque.
Amid this multitude Of haggard, un-
washed, unshaven, dead beat maies'
I noticed two italian ladies treadlng
delicately over the rough ballast Oh
the railway track. They had naturally
brought with them in that flight the
most valuable of their possessions,
which were of kind conveniently car
ried on their persons. Against TINS
crav background Of mud and rubbish
and a disbanded army their two hs-
ures glittered with a brilliance that
would have been conspicuous in the
Rue de la Paix.
Heavy sable furs and muffs almost
bowed their shoulders each finger had
two or three rings that flashed in the
light: round their necks were golo
chains hung with pendants, and yes
instead of the air CT self-satisfied os-
tentation that might well have gone
with a display so lavish, they were only
two pathetically little, frightened, per-
plexed faces. and 40 uncertain gait
that did not promise much further
progress along that ankle-wrenchlne
railway line.-G. Ward Price In the
Century Magazine.

Result of Sugar Shortage.

The sugar shortage has encouraged
Louisiana planters to broaden the use
of pure cane syrup, which is made
from cane juice, without taking out any
of it's sugar. This juice is boiled to a
point just below that required to crys-
tallze 1t into sugar, and can be used
not only for griddle cakes and candy
making, but it is recommended by the
planters, as a sweetening for coffee
and tea. 1t is practically sugar in a
LIQUID form, and on a basis Of S cents
a pound retail for granulated sugar
will weld economies of 40 to so per
cent, at price Of AZ to 5 cents a
pound for syrup.

Aqed Tree Is Dying.

The original navel orange tree, plant
ed A years ago, producer Of the first
navel oranges grown in the United
States and parent of millions Of trees
now growing in California, IS believed
to be dying. Horticultural experts
have begun efforts to diagnose the dis
ease that threatens 1t in the hope Of
prolonging It's life.
This tree, the most noted in the cit
rus industry of California, came orig
inally from Bahia, Brazil. 1t was
planted in 1873 by Mrs. C. L. Tibbetts,
who obtained it from the botanical gar
dens in Washington, D. G.

"CaIDIFr GIANT FURE FAKG:
Had Its Origin in Hoax Which Is Un-
de-ctood to Have Had Its
Inception al Chicago.

Andrew D. White gives some of the
particulars of the Cardiff Giant in
book entitled The True Story Of
Remarkable Deception" The Cardiff
giant was the huge stone image of
man which Farmer Newell Of Cardiff.
n. Y. claimed to have unearthed while
digging well in the autumn of 1859,
After it had been sold to a ioint-stock
compHny formed to exploit the wonder
for show purposes. Barnum tried to
buy it for his own museum. but his o.
fer was declined The Snowman then
had an imitation made. with the result
that two Cardiff giants were on eXhi-
bition at the same time, the duplicate
being shown to the public as 1.-The only
and original" Doctor White attributes
the exposure of the fake to Professor
Marsh Of Yale; in another account it
was Dr. John Y. Boynton of Syracuse
n. V. Who laid bare the fraud. Inc
original Cardiff giant was carved OF
chiseled out ot a gypsum block IN
stoneyard in Chicago and was trans
ported thence hy rail and wagon TO
Cardiff. According to Doctor White,
scientists as we'll as clergymen were
much impressed with the colossal re-
ure, Dr. James Hall, state geoiosist'
Issuing a statement in which ne de-
scribed the giant as "the most remark
able object brought to light in this
country and as observing the atten-
ton of archaeologists."

stated 10 you that conflicting reports
had been made TO both MIR. Morrison

Never Received Better Treatment.


Eleven OF the bunch OF slackers,
who were sent from this county to
the house OF correction at Detroit
last summer for failing to register in
June, have returned home Nine of
them belong to Crystal Falls and two
in Iron River. These men were SEN
fenced for six months, but by good
behavior their time was reduced one
month The rest OF the crowd only
received short sentences and have
been home for some time.
The men are loud in praise OF the
splendid treatment accorded them by
the officials in charge Of the institu-
tion at Detroit While they were con-
fined rather closely they were treated
in a splendid manner and allowed
many privileges that they did not ex
