A SPUNKY METHoDIsT.-Loga Dame
ron applied for pew IN st. Johns Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, the most fashion
able edifce of that denomination in st.
Louis but his preliminary deposit of
money was returned to hIm, with the in
formation that the official Board declined
to rent him seat 1t is said that the re-
fusal was brought about by brothers
Scruggs and Cupples, who are wealthy
merchants and leading Methodists, and
with whom Cameron, also fervent Metho-
dist, had once quarreled in church affair.
Last Sunday Cameron entered tue church
with camp chair under his arm, marched
up the center aisle, and seated himself con-
spicuously close to the cnancel rail. An
usher invited him to occupy one of the
many empty pews, but he said that he
would not use a seat which was not his
own. He joined with great JUNCTION In the
exercises, singing quite loud, though tune
fully, and reading the responsive verses of
Scripture in strong, clear voice, but did
it all with perfect decorum and ap-
parent fervor. His conduct, never
theless, ruined the services, for he
commanded the attention of the
whole congregation, and caused great
deal of tittering. He declares that he will
be a regular attendant, and will sit on his
chair until the officers rent him pew.

Clean the Orchards.

The experience of orchardists for thepast
few years, in the loss of apples and pears by
the codling moth Larvae should wake them up
to vigorous effort now to clean their orchards
Of these pests. Now is the time to begin the
work and to continue it through the season.
The first thing to be done is to prepare some
cheap canvas spreads or blankets to spread
around the body of the trees, on the ground,
so as to catch all the loose bark that may be
hardware store what the sailors use as a deck
scraper, or grind up an old hoe, grinding the
blade a little coucave so that it will tit the
rounded body of the tree. Having spread
the blanket around the roots of the tree,
Use the hoe or scraper in scraping the body
of the tree. till all the loose bark and scales
of bark have been removed. With this bark
you will scrape down all the codliDg moth
Larvae and catch them on the canvas or
blanket. Be careful to pile all these scrap
ings and larvae in a heap and burn them.
This being done, brush each bodyor tree stem
with strong wash of whale oil soap, crude
petroleum or potash solution. A whltewash
brush may be used in washing the body
Then wrap a strap of old sack around each
tree stem in such way that a worm crawl
ing up it viii naturally find good place
under the wrapper for a nest, To make it
sure of the object two wrappers may be used,
one above the other. About every ten days
all summer examine each of the wrappers,
and destroy all the codling moth larvae found
under it. Let each man who has an orchard,
or an apple or pear tree on his farm, or in his
door.yard, take the trouble to perform these
things as directed and he will have good,
sound fruit, and the fruit crop of the State
will be worth double or quadruple what it
will be if these things be not done. Who will
neglect so simple and perfect a means of
securing good fruit? The cost will hardly be
a consideration, and tie work will be but
little the important consideration is to do it
and 7eap the rich reward of little care.

The Golden Age of Fruit Culture in Cali
fornia

For the past few years the impression has
been gaining ground that the golden age Of
fruit culture in California was rapidly de.
parting. All early Californians viii remem-
Der that from 1855 to 1865 all kinds of fruit
grown here seemed absolutely perfect. Our
apples and pears grew to a much greater size
than the same varieties were ever known to
attain east of the Rocky mountains, OF in
any country in the old world, and as to form
and color they were absolutely perfection.
Not blemish appeared to remind us of the
insects that had gives US SO much trouble in
the orchards of the countries we had come
from. The same was also true of the peach,
the apricot, the plum and the cherry. The
perfect exemption from all the draw
backs to fruit culture in other eoun-
tries gave TO our State, and not I'M
properly, the appellation of the Eden
of the f1uit-grower. All we lacked then was
a market for the fruits we grew so perfectly
and So abundantly. With a market at good
prices for all we could produce those early
times would indeed have been the golden age
of fruit culture 10 California. 1t is true that
some enterprising cultivators In favored To-
ealities reaped golden harvests from the sale
of the fruit crops. but no general prosperity
could be sustained where so large proper
ton of the fruit produced went to decay I'M
der the trees. A business that did not pay
was naturally neglected, and many an
orchard that had been the pride and

The Future Of the United states.

1t is not generally known, even in Gull
tivated circles, that the amount of arabic
soil in America is greater than in Europe,
Asia and Africa put together, and can
therefore sustain more lives. This is
no rash conclusion. l speak from scie
ntific basis; and l will show you what
that basis is: Our continent is narrow,
and therefore the winds of the ocean
water it well. The mountain chains on
the east side of the American continent
are low; on the east side of the old world
are high. From this it results that the
trade winds, laden with the wetness of
the sea, are attracted to our land. The
breadth of the old world and its high
eastern ranges cause the rainless inte-
riors of Asia and Africa. Again Amer
lea is the land of fertile plains; the old
world of scOrched plains. Our plains
run north and south, and so attract and
receive the rains. America is high
under the equator, the old world is wide;
hence, with us small surface is ex-
posed to the scOrching sun. The result
is that the productive soil in the old
world is 100000 square miles, and in
the new, II 100000. Thus bursts upon us
all in the light of scientific truth, the
fact that America can sustain a greater
population than the old world; and if
she can, it is unquestiOnable that some
day she will.-Erchange

REWARD OF MERIT.
The Progress Ofthe Man who Does Not
Drink.

From the Chicago Alliance
In the early part of the late war, when
Gen. Grant was in command of the army
before Vicksburg, number of officers
were gathered at his headquarters hay
ing pleasant social time. One of them
invited the party to join in social glass.
All but one accepted. He asked to be ex-
cused, saying that he "never drank"
The hour passed and each went his way
to his respective command.
A few days after this the officer who
declined to drink received note from
Gen. Grant to report at headquarters.
He Obeyed the order and was soon in the
presence of the general. Gen. Grant said
to him: "YOu are the officer, believe"
for their acquaintance was slight, "whO
remarked the other day that you never
drank?" The officer mOdestly answered
that he was, "Then," continued the
general, "yOu are the man have been
looking for to take charge Of the COM
missary department, and order that you
be detailed to that duty" He served his
country faithfully to the close of the war
and was hOnOrably discharged. Years
passed and Gen. Grant had come to be
President. The officer had settled down
to the duties Of private life, and the little
lHClutub was CutTlSueu as pledSdnb
memory.
The trouble on the border between
Texas and Mexico along the Rio Grande
attracted the attention of congress- and
a commission was ordered to ascertain
the facts and report. Again President
Grant remembered the man who "never
drank" and appointed him chairman of
the board. The place was accepted, and
he entered faithfully upon the work; the
report submitted shows the thorough
ness with which the duty was dis
charged.
While engaged in this work he made
the acquaintance of gentleman who
owned an extensive cattle ranch in
southern Texas. The acquaintance in
spired confidence, and, years after when
the Texas gentleman decided to sell his
ranch, he placed it in the hands Of the
man who "never drank" and during the
last month he has effected sale to an
English company of the ranch of 100000
acres Of land and several thousand head
of cattle for an even million dollars; out
of which he gets commission that will
be a snug fortune. The company that
bought will enter largely upon packing
beef for foreign markets. Strengthening
