PREPARE MEAT FOR SHIPMENT South American Frlgorificos Will Soon Be Turning Out an Immense Supply of Food. A frlgorlftco Is a freezing plant In South America. It 1b a plant that freezes fat cattlo or sheep or lambs and aenda them in refrigerated ships northward to Mu rope. Perhaps later they will send them to the United States. ? On tho Isfand of Tierra del Fuego, far south to tho jumping oJT place, sheep get very fat on the good grass. Incredible as it may seem, a short time ago fine fat sheep were boiled down for their tallow. Now a mod ern frigorifico is prepared to kill them and send them north of the equator. There is another of these newly erect ed frigoritlco8 at Rio Gallegos, an other a little way up the coast at San Julian and other new ones are at Bahla Blanca. These frlgorificos make possible tho directing of a great stream of good lamb and mature mutton northward, mid we here may expect to see it come, sooner or later. Cattle are not I killed at these southern frlgorificos, but farther north, near Iiuenos Aires and in Uruguay are great establish ments that kill chiefly cattle. To facili tate the getting of sheep to the I frigoriflcos the government is build ing the Patagonia state railways, lead ing to the interior. ? Breeders' Gazette. Ownership of Land Accretion. The title of an owner of land to any ! accretions to the land was the ques ; tion presented to the supreme court of appeals of Virginia in ftggborn vs. ' Smith, in which interesting decisions on the point involved are cited. In the Virginia case the plaintiff's husband for a consideration permitted a rail road company to deposit rock and earth on land owned by him during double-tracking work, under contract that all such material not removed be fore the work was completed should remain permanently. The owner exe cuted a deed of trust of the land with ; out Berving the material so deposited, ; but on the day the property was sold under foreclosure of the trust deed he attempted to convey the material i as personalty to the complainant. The ! court found that the complainant had made no claim to the property until Jive years after its deposit, when it was overgrown with vegetation, and ? held that "the material was realty and j not personal property, and passed to the purchaser on foreclosure of the trust deed." Honor Man Struck by Lightning. To be struck by lightning is still a most lucky thing for the Gfreek peas ; ant ? if ho Is not killed. Such a man, says J. C. Lawson, "may indulge a taste for idleness for the rest of hiB life ? his neighbors will support him ? and enjoy at the same time the rep utation of being something more than human." This is an inheritance from ancient days. Artemidorus, an au thority on occult matters who flourish ed in the time of Marcus Aurelius, commented on the fact that while a place was struck by lightning had an altar erected upon it, and was thence forth both honored and avoided, "no one who has been struck by light ning is excluded from citizenship; in deed, such a one is honored even as a god." The election of Quintus Ju ? lius Eburnus to the consulship in 116 1 B. C. is attributed to his having been favored thus by the gods. _ong-Lived Mines and Profit#. Are long-lived mines more profitable than short lived ones? The average ! Investor would consider this a foolish question, assuming naturally that the longer a mine lasts the greater the ac cumulated profits. Just about the contrary is the case. The figures supplied by the mines de partment of Johannesburg where the regularity of deposits on the Rand ? makes it possible to guage the lives of mines with accuracy, should convince tiie skeptic that owing to compound In terest a long life does not add to the value of a mine to the extent common* 1 \y assumed ?

Arkansas Ih the greatest pearl pro ducing state 111 the Union, and hun of wen engage ?i" pearl hunt. It it) suld that the fresh water pearl of Arknmias of thu highest class cannot be distinguished from the flu,? est deep son Jewel, Throughout the south generally thousands of people follow the pearl (inhltiK Industry and make a comfortable JlvJpg at it. Up to u few years ago the Jewel wealth contained in the river beds of the Mississippi valley wan completely hid* don. JL wus not supposed ttiat the fresh water mussel wan a pearl bear er, or that it had any value except for flail l>ait. The fresh water mussel in nought now not only for the precious atone It may have hidden in its shell, but for the shell itself, which ia manufac tured into utick pins, cuff links, and buttons of every description. The shell iishericH have for years extend ed far up the Mississippi river. A re cent writer on the subject puts fresh water pearls into four classifications ? true pearls, buroques, slugn, and chicken feed. The first, or truo, peurls are of a definite shape, and regular form, roCmd, oval, or pear shaped. These command the highest prices. Haroques ure pearls of irregular form. Slugs aro low grade baroques. The smaller size, the kind used in inexpensive though genuine und neat jewelry, go by the professional name of chicken feed. MERELY A POPULAR BELIEF Scholars Question Whether the Apple Was the "Forbidden Fruit" In the Garden of Eden. Why and how it has happened that the apple has been spoken of as the fruit that was forbidden in the Gar den of Eden 1r one of the great puz zles of Biblical scholars. The fact is that in Genesis 3, where the Incident of the eating of this fruit of the "Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil" is mentioned, no name whatever is given to the fruit. All that is said Is: "And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat" (verse 6). In fact, scholars doubt very serious ly whether it was the apple at all. They suggest that all evidence points to it having been the quince, fragrance of which was held in the highest es teem by the Orientals. Another point in favor of the quince is that it is the fruit which was sacred to Venus, the goddess of live, and in a great many of the ancient writings the quince is very frequently mentioned in this man ner. In Babylonia Ishtar took the place of Venus in the Roman mythol ogy, and it should bo remembered that the story of the croation origina ted with the Babylonians. All evi dence seems to point away from the apple having been the "Forbidden Fruit," and towards the quince as hav ing been that fruit of the "Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil." Wordsworth on Real Estate. There is an interesting story of Wordsworth, who went to call on Miss Harriet Martineau at Ambleside, in the house which she had built and laid out, writes A. C. Benson in the Cen tury Magazine. There was a gathering of neighbors present, and Wordsworth stood for a long time at the window contemplating the beautiful landscape outside. Then he turned to the party and said: "Miss Martineau, I congratulate you on your beautiful little domain. The views are wonderful, and it will turn out to be the wisest thing you ever did in your life.* lie paused for ji moment, and the guests expected some comment on the upjifting effects of communion with nature, but Wordsworth, with a fine gesture, continued: "Your property will certainly bo trebled in value within the next ten years!" Living in Poise. To improve yourself, the first essen tial is to prevent all waste of energy by living in poise. The second essen tial is to use your imagination In plc 'turing those things that you want to accomplish now. And the most prac tical use that can be made of the im agination is to picture your talents and faculties larger, greater and more perfect. To imagine in mind a larger and more perfect talent is to give the creativo forces in mind a better mod el; and as these forces always create after tho fashion of the latest model, they will consequently create the lar ger and the more perfect talent. ? Lar son. Different Thing Entirely. This storj^ is being told on a Kan sas lawyer. The lawyer was arghing a case before a judge and, desiring to illustrate by supposing a case, he did so, as follows: "We will suppose, your honor," he said, "that your hon or were to steal a horse." ? "No! No! No!" interrupted the judge, "not at all, not at all, sir. 'Tain't a suppos -able case, sir." "Very well, begging your honor's pardon," said the eager lawyer with more zeal than prudence, "very well, then; supposing that I should steal a horse." ? "Ah, yes, yes," said the Judge, "that Is a different thing, very different, Mr. X. Pro ceed, sir."
