tumorous gfpartmfnt. Tall Story of Tall Corn.?The big corn yield In Kansas last fall recalls the story of big Kansas corn at tho Philadelphia centennial. Among the Kansas agricultural exhibits at the fair was some corn on the stalks grown In the Neosho river bottoms. It was twenty feet high and the ears looked as long as stove wood, says the Kansas City Journal. An old lady from Vermont gazed at It and declared that the stalks were spliced. Then she took another look and changed her mind. "But said she, "It didn't grow that big In one year. It must have grown for two seasons." The man in charge of the Kansas exhibit was somewhat of a prevaricator himself. "Lady," said he. In great solemnity, "we are almost ashamed to exhibit this corn. This has been a hot, dry year in Kansas and we have not been able to raise very large corn. But we felt that it wouldn't do to have a Kansas exhibit without corn, so we brought this little stuff along. In a really good year the corn grows so high In Kansas the eagles build their nnata In the tassels knowing full Well that they are out of range of the farmers' guns." Poor Old Joe.?Mr. Austen Chamberlain, who has created some little stir by his remarks on the "useless discussions" In parliament, tells an amusing story of a visit his father, Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, once paid to the Zoo, says Pearson's Weekly. The famous statesman paused before the hippopotamus and, having beckoned to one of the keepers to whom he was quite well known, he asked the brute's name. The man blushed, but made no reply. "Come, come," said Mr. Chamberlain, "what do you call the beast? Tou have a name for it, haven't you?" "Y-yes, sir," stammered the man. "Then what is it?" asked Mr. Chamberlain sharply. The poor man seemed to be laboring under great emotion. "1 don't like to say it, sir," he replied. "Why not?" "You?you wouldn't like it, sir." "Oh, never mind that," Mr. Chamberlain replied, his curiosity now thoroughly aroused; "tell me its name." The man sighed hopelessly. "You really won't like it, Mr. Chamberlain, sir. We?we calls 'im Joe!" A Millionaire's Vacation.?Pere Loti tells a story, according to the Washington Post, "that illustrates well the energy of your men of affairs:" "A gentleman called at the office of an indefatigable millionaire financier, It was 4 o'clock in the afternoon and the financier lay back in a revolving chair with his feet on his desk and a picture magazine in his hand. " 'I've worked mighty hard for the last ten years without a day's vacation,' he explained. 'I feel all run down and I'm now going to take a long rest' " 'And a well-earned rest it will be too,' said the visitor earnestly. "The visitor departed, expecting that the millionaire would set out at once for Europe or California, but the next morning he saw him presiding as busily as ever at an important directors' meeting. ^ " 'Why, how about that long rest?* he asked. "The millionaire frowned in a mazei ment ' "Didn't I take it yesterday afternoon?* he asked." A Story Jones Tolls.?In the south they say it is customary for the waiter to ask when breakfast Is ordered, "How will you have your algs?" One' morning a man had ordered some sausage, cakes, rolls and coffee, says the Chrlcago Record-Herald. When the waiter asked, "Hov will you have your algs?" the man replied, "You may eliminate my eggs t ds morning." The negro looked at him and wenv to the kitchen. Returning shortly he said: "Eh, eh, mister, how did you say you would have your eggs?" The man replied, "I said you could eliminate the eggs." Back went the negro to the kitchen, but returned pretty soon and said: "Say, mister, we have got a splendid chef, who has worked in most of the largest and best places In the north, and he says he dun have no tools to 'limlnate any algs." Not Included.?Mr. Smith Is a respectable gentleman, who, though he has been married several years, has not yet lost his admiration for a pretty girl. Having occasion to remove from his present abode he was recently looking for a suitable house, and discovered one to let In a quiet street. Upon ringing the bell a very piquant and lovely Irish girl came to the door, looking quite charming in her black dress and mob cap. "Is this house to let?" asked Mr. Smith. "Yes." "Are you to be let with it?" he said, with a bland smile. "No, sir," answered the maid, very demurely, "I am to be let alone!"? Washington Star. Jimmy's Come Back.?A well known idiot named Jamie Frazer surprised people sometimes by his replies. The members of one parish had for some time distressed the minister by their habit of sleeping in church. He had of ten endeavored to Impress them with a sense of the Impropriety of such conduct, and one day when Jamie was sitting in the front gallery wideawake when many were slumbering around him, the clergyman endeavored to arouse the attention of his hearers by stating the fact, saying: "You see even Jamie Frazer, the idiot, does not fall asleep as so many of you are doing." Jamie, not liking, perhaps, to be designated, coolly replied: "An' if I hadn't been an idiot I would have been sleepin', too."?New York Globe. The Poor Pedestrian.?Secretary of War Garrison is of course no foe to the automobile; but during his judgeship in New Jersey he always showed a commendable respect for the rights of the foot passenger. Mr. Garrison, commenting on an accMpnt where an automobile had been selfish and reckless, once said: "This man's attitude toward the general public reminds me of Spede, whom a friend asked: " 'How did you come to run over that poor old fellow? Were you running too fast?' " 'No,' said the automobilist, with a grim smile, 'he was running too slow.'" Hired to Stick.?The jury, after long deliberation, seemed unable to agree in a perfectly clear case. The judge thoroughly exasperated at the delay, said: "I discharge this Jury." One sensitive juror, indignant at what he considered a rebuke, faced the judge. "You can't discharge me," he said with a tone of conviction. "And why not?" inquired the judge in surprise. "Because," announced the Juror, pointing to the lawyer for the defense, "I was hired by that man there!"? Ladies' Home Journal. Left the Dean Chuckling.?The dean of the law department was very busy and rather cross. The telephone rang. "Well, what is it?" he snapped. "Is that the city gas works?" said a woman's soft voice. "No, madam," roared the dean; "this is the University Law department." "An," sne answered, in me oweeicoi of tones. "I didn't miss It so far, after all, did I?" And the weary dean chuckled all afternoon. it'"That wasn't a bad epigram on the magistrate's part" said the somewhat educated tramp who had been convicted for vagrancy. "What did he say?" asked the tramp's pal. "Seven days," came the reply. "That ain't no epigram Is it?" "I'm sure it is. I once asked a parson what an epigram was, and he said, 'It's a short sentence that so\tnds light, but gives you plenty to think about.'

Anxious to ascertain beyond question whether there was ever a "Mary' who "had a little lamb." as the widelj known nursery poem recites, Mrs. L W. Owens, of Pueblo, Colo., traveled to Massachusetts?a distance of mor< than 2,000 miles?to make a thorough Investigation. She has done It. She has found that there was a real "Mary," and that she had a real lamb. The lamt went to school, too, one day, as th< famous verses assert. The younf poet, John Roulstone, who immortalized Mary and the lamb, took som< poetic liberties with the facts, Mrs Owens found, but the poem is correct in the main points, were are mt verses as they were written and handed to Mary, the owner of the lamb: Mary had a little lamb, Its fleece was white as snow; And everywhere that Mary went The lamb was sire to go. It followed her to school one day, Which was against the rule; It made the children laugh and plaj To see the lamb at school. And so the teacher turned it out, But it lingered near. And waited patiently about Till Mary did appear. "What makes the lamb love Marj so?" The eager children cried, "Why Mary loves the lamb, yoi know," The teacher then replied. The "Mary" of the poem was Man Sawyer, and later Mary Sawyer Tay< lor. She lived at Sterling, Mass., ant woo Q Vijoro AM Q ? vAflr! YD IICI1 OHC %J J VM? w?vt| ww ago, she owned the lamb. Mary's lamb was a pet. She kep its fleece nice and clean, and some times tied a ribbon about Its neck One day she took the lamb to school When she went to the platform t< recite the lamb clattered after her That made a laugh. Mary then took the lamb outsld< and fastened It to a shed. She tool the lamb home at the noon recess John Roulstone, who was studyinf for the ministry with Rev. Samue Chapen, of Sterling,, was on a visit t< the school that day. The next daj he rode up to the school and handet Mary the poem. Mrs. Owens, who is president of th< Loyal Boy's Club of the West, mad< the trip from her distant home foi the sole purpose of delving into th< past and getting the truth about th< lamb episode. Mrs. Owens will writ* a book on the life and death of Mar: and her lamb. In a talk about hei Investigations Mrs. Owens said: "I came from Colorado purposely to learn if It were true that there ex isted a Mary and a little lamb, wh< followed her to school. I am satisflec beyond question. "Years and years ago In the towi of Sterling, near Worcester, live< Marv Sawver. who later became Mrs Taylor, and, like her lamb, which wa celebrated In verse by a clever youni Harvard man of the times, Johi Roulstone. She also became noted. "Mary Sawyer, at the time sh< came Into possession of the lamb, wai 8 years old. That was In 1814. Thi lamb, I find, after Interviewing ol< residents of Sterling, was born abou March 1 of that year, and, therefore was a spring lamb. The little thlni lived until the net November, whei It met an untimely and tragic death "I find that on Thanksgiving morn Ing Mary was playing In the barnyan at her home. The lamb, which ha< before this become very fond of hei and had created the Incident of th< school, was following her about, frol lcking.

"The Incident which John Roul stone made famous by verse as re lated to me by Mary's old school teacher. Rebekah Kimball, deviates li some ways from the verse. "It Is true that the lamb on th morning In question followed Mar; and brother Nat to school. They dls covered it as they were crossing i stone wall, and at the suggestion of Na the lamb was brought Into the school house and hid in one of the desks but it was discovered by the teache and the woolly little animal was re moved by Mary."?New YorkAmeri can.

The eastern half of the P 1 United States is almost wholly sup- a ? plied from Italy, mainly through the f ports of New York and New Orleans, p says the New York Sun. t The middle west, north of the Ohio, 1 rec iivea one-half of ita supply from a Italy. On the other hand, the territory c went of the Mlasour! river, with west- c , ern Texaa, uses almost exclusively ^ California lemons. j More than half a billion pounds of t t lemons are exported by Italy, and we D take about a third of them. Almost 90 , per cent of these shipments arrive at v 1 the port of New York, half of them i 1 coming in the two months of May and Q i June. The southern provinces and c Sicily produces most of the fruit It is c 't estimated that there are 8,000,000 lem- g - on trees in Italy, and that at least 6,- t 000 000 of these are in Sicily. At Sorrento and other points along the Bay of Naples, familiar to tourists, the:*e are about 180,000 trees. Capri, too, produces lemons, but It Is more fa- ^ mous for its oranges. At Sorrento, or Ravello, one looks out of his hotel window upon the "gardens" of lemon and c orange trees hanging full of fruit. A 0 single tree sometimes produces 1,000 n , lemons, and in Sicily the product of 1 O?o ran, < nftnri 9 AAA At the places named and all along , the Amalfl coast the trees are planted n In narrow plots along the seaward side 0 [ of the mountain. These plots are ter- * races, supported by stone walls built r , laboriously during the last 2,000 years. z The soil which these walls hold h against the mountain side Is mostly a a rich volcanic earth. The mountain Is * limestone and rises in bold precipice* ^ out of the sea, but it has been covered F at some remote period with pumice, * dust and lava, which decompose into c ' an excellent soil. The lemon and orange trees are cov- ^ r ered with straw mats fastened to trel- 11 k Uses to protect them from frost during a 1 the winter months. These mats often v ? cover a whole mountain side, the ter- 1 - races rising one above another from 1 the sea to the summit. The mats are v 1 removed when the danger of frost is I past. 8 > The position of the proprietors of the 1 i gardens along much of the coast from a I Naples southward to Salerno Is now a unsound In view of the large migration 8 s of laborers from this coast to America 1 . and the consequent rise of wages. The r t landlord no longer finds active compe- F > tltion from tenants for their "gardens." Ravello, a town on the mountain back A of Amalfl, had in the 13th century 36,- F 000 inhabitants. At present it has but ^ 1816, and the number la declining. 0 The recent war with Turkey Intensely interested the laboring element of 0 Italy for tne reason inat uie son 01 r Tripoli is thought to be very rich and will be distributed in farms to Italians, now that the war is ended. An Italian officer assured the writer that it would produce three crops of wheat a year r and two of grapes. It needs only irrigation, and the water is found a few feet under the surface. 1 If these hopes are realized the migration of Italians to America will greatly . diminish, the tide being diverted with Increased volume to Tripoli. Labor j will become scarcer and wages higher, 3 not only along the Amalfl coast but in Sicily also, where cheap labor is the set cret of the present Immense production of lemons and of the low price at which they can be sold. What affects the labor supply of Sicily is of great importance to Amerl} can producers of lemons, as Sicily is * the centre of the lemon Industry of the ? world. The number of lemon trees in c Sicily Is over twelve times the number ^ in California The Sicilian groves ocj cupy a strip along the eastern and > northern coast of the island, the strip f widening inland where fertile valleys 1 occur.

The size 200 to a box goes chiefly t to England. But Germany also takes r a large lemon. The coarse fruit is likely to consist mainly of woody fibre. r . But the size shipped depends somewhat ) on the custom laws of the importing - country. Where the duty is based on 1 weight the small sizes are preferred. 1 1 Where it is based on number the large I i. sizes are sent. 3 The Italian lemon garden varies in \ area, being commonly extremely small in comparison with California's groves, j - About Palermo, however, there are gar- I 3 dens having as many as 2,000 acres. P j Fertilizers are used, but there is little t or no system. Nor is there agreement i! > as to the proper Interval between trees, v * Irrigation is employed. In the Sorren- ? tine region where the water supply is - short, a tree averages not over 400 R j lemons, but well handled Sicilian r groves may produce 1,200 or more per v i tree. The more northern gardens pro- 0 - duce less than those of Sorrento. 5 The lemon buds are grafted on a j small bitter orange tree on account of . its better resistance to the gum dis- ^ e ease, which devasted the groves of Sic- 4 J lly thirty years ago. Pruning is less ^ f systematic than in Caiirornia. Tne aim of the pruner is to secure an open * - spreading form of tree. Tillage is by i hand labor, and not very Intelligent. <j n Frost is provided against, especially 5 when the trees are in bloom, in April ( e or May, by building trellises over the * Y trees and covering these with straw ^ a mats.
