Monxtsr String Beans.
What are presumably the largest
string beans in the world may he
hecn growing in tho gardens of a
resident of Pasadena, Cal. They
range from thirty to forty-three
inches in length and average half
an inch in width. They aro not
only enormously large, hut they
make a delightful table delicacy
when cut and stewed and prepared
with cream and butter. Tho vines
bear profusely, nnd the beans are so
large that one of them is more than
a single person can comfortably
manage. These beans aro of the
aristocratic species and do not claim
alliance with the Common string
bean. California botanists class
them as belonging to the genus do-
lichos, but owing to their great
length they are more popularly
known ns “yard beans." The plants
ore natives of China and Japan, and
tho seeds were sent to California
from Japan.

PITH AND POINT.
King Edward’s Power.
TIow can n monarch become effi
cient who is constitutionally con-
•trained to inefficiency? Tho kaiser
can bo efficient, but would England
tolerate in her king the sort of effi
ciency that Germany sustains at her
kaiser’s bunds? The kaiser has
some real power. The king—well,
to bo sure, the king has enormous
social influence at home and very
important personal and official in
fluence with other monarchs nnd
heads of Kuropeun governments.
Possibly King Kdward could stimu
late efficiency in England if ho bent
himself to tho work—a camel may
pass through the needlo’s eye—but
it would bo difficult. Caste, moro
than royalty, is hurting England.

One of the latest stories of the
strange reasoning of negroes comes
from J. II. Stoddnrt, thc veteran
actor, and is of an incident ho wit
nessed in Louisiana on a tour
through that part of thc country.
“I nnd an afternoon lay off in
this Louisiana town,” said the ac
tor, “and with nothing to do roam
ed about the place, Filially I got
to the courthouse and went in. A
negro trial was on, nnd a typical old
darky was one of the witnesses. He
was fixing tho time of the occur
rence of the trouble and said it was
half past 3 in the afternoon.
“ ‘How do you know it was half
past 3?’ demanded the lawyer for
the other side.
“‘Why, I—I knowed it was half
past 3 by my watch. I knowed it/
stammered tlie darky.
“‘Can you tell time?* demanded
the lawyer.
“ ‘Sure, I can tell time/ answered
the witness.
“‘What time is it now?* demand
ed tho lawyer, pointing to the clock.
“Thc darky studied the clock for
a minute; then he said he did not
know what time it was.
“‘But I thought you could tell
time/ said tho lawyer, with anger.
“ ‘Well, I can tell time, boss, by
my watch/ said tho darky, ‘but \
tan’t tell no time by no clock.* ”

minister arrived the church commit

“He’s a good man,” said Mr.
Clark. “He will infuse new life
into the church and is one of the

He is eloquent, tells a good story
of the right kind and v.iff be quite
