HOW A TREE IS MURDERED.
An Instance Which Illustrate* th
Difficulty of Destroying
On*.
A gentleman of means living in asubi
urban town tells how his mother onc«
undertook to murder a cherry tree, says
the Chicago Chronicle. "I was a boy
at the time," he said. "The tree stood
on our lawn; It had been planted by my
father, and he loved it with a parental
affection; but it was an eyesore to my
mother, for she thought It spoiled tha
looks of the garden.
"She decided to murder It sscrotly,
because she knew that my father would
uover consent to Its removal. ■ For U
long tlms the pondered, asking herself
how the might kill the tree without be*
las detected, and finally ehe decided |
that she would use for her weapon boll*
Ing water. Accordingly whenever my
father was away she would get a kettle
and, tiptoeing out to the tree with a
guilty look, she would pour boiling
water upon Its roots.
"At first the tree showed no change
Inder this treatment. After a time,
though, a change began to manifest
Itself. My father noticed It
" ‘By Jove,’ he said, ‘my cherry tree
wems unusually fine and hearty.’
"And this was a faot. The more boll*
tug water my mother poured on the
roots the more the tree thrived and
flourished. Finally, in despair, ahe gavy
up trying to commit her vegetable mur
der.
"A florist, to whom ehe narrated this
strange story one day, laughed when he
hoard it. He said it was no wonder the
tree had gotten along so well. He d»<
stared that boiling water was often 1
used on trees, as it killed off the worms ;
sad bugs molesting them."
WHEN TOGO WAS YOUNG.
Example of the Japanese Admiral’s
Alertness of Mind Given in
Boyhood Days.
—
A retired English naval officer, who
when a lad, was on board the training
ship Worcester, at the same time as the
future Japanese Admiral Togo, accord- j
ing to the Rochester Herald, tells the
following reminiscences:
“Togo was constantly the victim of all
manner of chaff from the young British
ers on board, who called him ‘One-go
two-go-three-go.’ Disliked at first,
perhaps because he was unlike his
mates, he grew in popularity on account!
of his remarkably alert mind and aglHe
body, until at length he became a gen*
eral favorite with officers and boys. ~[
"He stood all chaff with a certain
amount of bravado, unless It touched
du his resemblance to the Chinese. To
one fellow sailor who dubbed him a
Chinaman, he said, with emphasis: j
■When I am ‘‘the’1 admiral, I hang you
to the yardarm.’
“One day Togo had his leave stopped i
tor some small offense. ‘Liberty boye j
to go ashore,’ was piped, and the boy*
went up to him and said: ‘Are you to go?' j
■No,’ he replied. Immediately the young
sters got around him and pinched him,
for telling lies, shouting at the same j
time: ‘You are Togo.'
"His praenomen being rather difficult,
to pronounce, Togo was told by one of j
the boys to shoot his godfather and god.
mother on his return home. ‘We do not
■hoot gods In Japan,’ was hi* reply ”

ASPARAGUS HAS A LINEAGE
Bomans Held Vegetable in High Es
teem Many Years Before
Christ.
Of all food plants there is none which
has been so long known or been pos
sessed of so distinguished a lineage as
the asparagus. Its records reach back
almost to the beginning of authentic his
tory, and it is mentioned by the comic
poet Cratinus, who died about 426 B. C.
The Romans held the vegetable in high
eeteem. The elder Cato wrote a work
which is still extant, “De re Rustica,"
and it treats at length of the virtues and
proper cultivation of asparagus. Pliny,
In his natural history, written about
60 A. D., has much to say about it. He
feelingly observes: “Of all the products
of your garden your chief care should be
asparagus,” and he devotes several
chapters to its many good qualities and
the best methods of raising it He as
serts that the soil about Ravenna was so
favorable to Its production that three
heads grown In that district had been
known to weigh a Roman pound. This
pound seems to have been about equal
to 11 ounces in our day, so it would ap
parently have taken four of the stalks
to have reached a pound ef our weight.
The asparagus being essentially a
southern plant. It is possible that the
stock growing In Italy wae of a more
vigorous growth than that of our north
ern clime. It is found all around the
shores of the Mediterranean and

Lack of Arm Gestures and Conversa
tional Tone Wins Heart of
Doubtful Maiden.
Congressman William H. Jackson, of
Maryland, was engrossed in discussing
with a number of colleagues the deca
dence of oratory,saysthSNewYorkHer*
aid. “Sane people are not emotional,”
declared the congressman, “and the con
versational delivery of speech carries
as much weight with an intelligent
audience as does the effort of a declaim
er who indulges in brilliant periods with
an arm-swinging acompaniment.”
“You are right,” said a listener, “and
your statement reminds me of a young
lady who had two suitors. Both men
had about the same advantages and
prospects, but gossip declared that the
girl would decide in favor of the man
who was a lawyer, for he knew better
how to present and win his case. Goe
sipe erred; the lawyer was rejected.
Later it was learned from a friend la
whom the betrothed had confided her
reason for her choice.
“'Harry is convincing, but John is
just as convincing and does not have to
move his arms every time he wants ta
say something.'”
BIG BEE RANCH IN ’FRISCO
Public School Principal of Coast City
Harvests a Third of a Ton
of Honey a Season.
There is a bee ranch with more than
1,000,000 bees in the heart of one of the
densest residence districts of San Fran
cisco. It is owned by Philip Prior, prin
cipal of a public school, and is in the
little back yard of his home. For ten
years he has kept his bees there, has
harvested about a third of a ton of
honey each season and has been at no
expense for food for his interesting and
industrious pets. Although it is a dis
tance of two and one-half miles from
the Prior bee ranch to Golden Gate park,
the bees make the trip there, collect

in two minutes, making a bullet-like
flight at the surprising rate of 150 miles
an hour. Mr. Prior has demonstrated
this by having an observer watch cer
tain bee-favored places in the park and
exactly timing the arrival there of bees
he purposely sprinkled with flour as
they issued from a hive. He has also
kept time on the absence of the whitened
bees.
BIG PROFIT IN BATHHOUSE
Average New York Seashore Resort
Receives Nearly $2,000 a Day
for Rooms Alone.
If you doubt that the nickel and quar
ter business doesn’t pay, consider the
money-making propensities of the aver
age seashore bathhouse around New
York, and make over your opinion. A
representative bathing pavilion has
1,500 bath compartments. It costs 20
cents to rent one. On a medium hot
summer’s day some $800 are derived
from renting these rooms, for the com
partments are used in the course of the
day by about 4,000 persons. Bathing
suits rent for 25 cents each. There
would be 8.000 of them for such a pavil
ion, which means $1,000 a day if half of
them are rented once; and it Is fair to
assume that three-fourths of the 4,000
bathers pay five cents for the use of a
comb and brush—$150. A total of near
ly $2,000. to say nothing or the proceeds
from restaurant, bar, barber shop and
indoor baths.
Italy’s Emigrants.
In the past 30 years Italy has sent
more than 2,000,000 persons to the
United States, says the World’s Work.
A number of these have returned in the
course of time, taking with them care
fully hoarded savings. A very large
majority have remained in the United
States.
Japs Drink Much Water.
A gallon of water a day is drunk by
every Japanese who practices, as nearly
all do, the gymnastics known as jiujitsu.
