ASPARAGUS
Ita IleVatlon to tin- Famoun Axphodcl
of the Enrly Atjen
As a tickler of the palate asparagus
has come down the ages with all the
weight of Greek aud Itoman approval
Plato ate it by the plateful aud Aris
tophanes the humorist regarded it as a
great aid in digesting the crank phi
losophers of the day
It Is an odd fact that this culinary
plant is closely related to the famous
asphodel which -was supposed by the
ancients to be the leading flower in the
gardens of the elysium the Greek pur
gatory or paradise A part of the
qualntness of tills Has In the fact that
the roots possess purgative qualities
The roots and fruit of both were for
merly much used In medicine for tills
purpose
According to the superstition of the
Romans the manes of the dead fed on
the roots of the asphodel They planted
It therefore In and around the ceme
teries hence to tills day it covers with
Its beautiful golden blossoms as pro
fusely as dandelions the Apulian hills
and valleys and the sheep feed on it
greedily
It belongs to the same natural order
of perennials and the only difference
between the asparagus and the as
phodel appears to be In the fruit and
the color of the flowers So abundant
is the wild asparagus In the steppes of
Russia that cattle eat it like grass just
as Italian sheep devour Its botanical
cousin
A HISTORIC SHELLFISH
The Pnrpnra IVns Quite n Factor In
tlie Worlds Civilization
A small sea creature has done a lot
to assist the development of civiliza
tion It is known as the murex or
purpura From it the Phoenicians
manufactured the Tyrian purple the
origin of their wealth and prosperity
As each shellfish yielded but one drop
of the dyeing material and as 300
pounds were needed to dye fifty pounds
of wool the home fisheries became in
time exhausted Then finding it neces
sary to seek a supply elsewhere the
traders started on the first voyage of
discovery ever made Owing to this
voyage the Mediterranean with all the
countries that surround it Avas dis
covered
Through this small creature also the
first colonies were founded The Phoe
nicians finding it impracticable to
bring home large shiploads of the fish
built at those spots where the raw ma
terial abounded factories which gradu
ally developed into permanent settle
ments
And as many of these colonies were
founded on Grecian islands the apt
natives quickly acquired the arts and
industries of their visitors which were
soon diffused throughout Greece and
the first seeds of civilization were
sown
BELLS AS BAROMETERS
Their Tone Will Indicate What the
Weather Will Be
Church bells can serve another pur
pose besides ringing you to worship
They make a good substitute for a
barometer As the atmosphere is the
sole conductor of sound from the bell
to the ear it is obvious that the in
tensity and quality of the sound as
perceived by the ear will depend on
the state of the medium through which
it comes For instance if bells sound
very distinctly of an evening this
points to the probability of a wet day
following since air heavily charged
with moisture conducts sound better
than dry air So too as dense air con
ducts better than light air bells sound
more clearly when the barometer is
high than when it is low other things
being equal and so too with hot and
cold air These principles are familiar
to all country folk living within the
sound of church bells About five
miles from Lebekke in Belgium there
are some small bells which are called
water bells When they are heard
distinctly iu the town rain is sure to
follow London Spectator
The Better Half Indeed
An English judge recently had an in
spiration A defendant appeared too
dull to make a defense or answer in
telligibly questions put to him by the
judge Suddenly the judge said Where
do you live and the intelligible reply
About five minutes off was at once
forthcoming Then just run home
and fetch your wife and ruu a little
quicker than you talk It was done
and the wifes clear and businesslike
statement of the facts won the day for
her helpless husband

young author that the first thing a

TWO WINSTON CHURCHILLS
One an American the Other an Eng
llNhiunn Both Author
There is much Interest in literary
i cles over the announcement that the
Macmlllans have paid to Winston
Churchill for the biography of his fa
ther the largest sum ever given by a
publishing firm for a work of the kind
Tho author got 40000 down with the
agreement that half the profits should
come to him after the publishers have
made 20000 from it Churchill Is be
ing paid at even a higher rate than
John Morley was for his life of Glad-
stone
Some people may suppose that this
is the same Winston Churchill who
wrote Richard Carvel The Crisis
and The Crossing but It is not lie
is an altogether different individual

THE A5IERICAN WINSTON CHURCHITjT AND
THi ENGLISH WINSTON CHUKCHILIi
The name Churchill is not an uncom
mon name but Winston is and it is
a singular coincidence that two men
bearing these names and not kinsmen
should be prominent in literature The
coincidence is further emphasized by
the fact that both are novelists and pol
iticians are young men and werc
trained in the arts of war one being
educated for the army the other the
navy The Winston Churchill who ha
just written a biography of his father
is an Englishman the third son of the
late Lord Randolph Churchill and his
full name is Winston Lionel Spencer
Churchill The author of Richard Car
vel is an American The Englishman
is a member of parliament was born
in 1S74 has served in four wars as war
correspondent for London papers had
a marvelous escape from a Boer prison
in the South African war inherited
20000000 from an uncle and is now
winning fame as an orator in the house
of commons His mother who after
the death of Lord Randolph Churchill
married George Cornwallis West is the
daughter of the late Leonard Jerome of
New York
The American Winston Churchill was
born in St Louis in 1S71 graduated
from the Naval academy at Annapolis
and for a time served in the navy has
been an editor and has served in the
New Hampshire legislature He has

THE GOLDFINCH

zling to the Xovlce
Most cverj one In America is ac
quainted with the goldfinch but many
people know the bird by the name of
lettuce bird on nccount of Its bright
yellow color Goldfinch is a very appro
priate name as the bright yellow of
the male when in breeding plumage is
like burnished gold The female gold
finch is more modestly dressed than
her mate The changes In plumage of
the male are very interesting and to
the novice somewhat puzzling Until
the student becomes acquainted with
the bird he may wonder why he sees
no males during the winter The truth
Is at this season the flocks of supposed
female goldfinches are really of both
sexes the male bird having assumed
In the previous fall usually by the end
of October u plumage closely resem
bling that of the female and young
bird of the year The male retains tills
inconspicuous dress until late In Feb
ruary when one can notice a gradual
change taking place in some of the
birds This renewal of feathers Is ac
tively continued through March and
April and by the 1st of May our re
splendent bird is with us again The
song period with the male goldfinch
continues as long as he wears his gold
and black livery for It commences as
early as the middle of March and ends
late In August Goldfinches are very
cleanly in their habits and bathe fre
quently Their nests are exquisite
pieces of bird architecture the Inside
being lined with the softest plant

ner nor Colonel Ellsworth was tall and
as they stood beside Lincoln on the rear
platform while he made his address
they looked shorter than they really
were At the close of Lincolns short
speech a coal heaver called out Abe
they say you are the tallest man in the
United States but I dont believe you
nre any taller than I am Lincoln re
plied Come up here and let us meas

through the crowd and climbed on the
platform where Lincoln and he stood
back to back Turning to Colonel Ells

Colonel Ellsworth being so much
shorter could not tell so he climbed on
the guard rail and putting his hand
across the top of the heads of the two
men said I believe they are exactly
the same height Then Lincoln and
the coal heaver turned around and
faced each other The crowd shouted
loudly when Lincoln took the black
sooty hand of the coal heaver In his and

The Fiddler Crab In Winter Qnarters
In winter when the surface of the
ground in which It is accustomed to
burrow may become frozen or covered
with Ice the fiddler crab bores deep
into the mud or sand and stays until
spring The black or mud fiddler fairly
riddles the meadow banks along the
salt creeks It bores in usually hori
zontally and it may be as far as six
or eight feet from the face of the bank
and then down into tho mud at various
angles until It gets below the level of
the tide which rises and falls through
the loose mud In the fiddler crabs
burrow There are myriads of the
black fiddlers and they so honeycomb
the bank that sometimes under the
added weight of ice gathered upon the
top of it the bank breaks down New
