best timein transit-as they thus far have
done-for the reason that "bulk loads
come right through in the original cars,
unhindered for any transfers, ,as box fruit,
even in carloads, frequently is, and in
less than carloads generally is; 'sbulk
loads" therefore run no risk of the disas-

steamships to heat and sweat and waste;
the cars are examined at Wilmington,
Richmond, Alexandria, Washington and
Baltimore and the ventilation continued
until danger of freezing, and on arrival
here we get immediate possession, which
is an important thing in that We can un-
load at once, or if hard weather we can
close up the car against freezing until we
can safely handle the fruit, instead of
having to abide the promiscuous dump

subjected to.

which, with it's new form and improve
ments you have lately made in it's make
up, is yet more to be sought for, am
much interested i'll the article on the or
ange in Florida, from Munroe, Judson
& Stroup's handbook. Here is brought
out the analysis OF the whole tree, includ-
ing the fruit, which it is very important
for the grower to understand Just what
this tree and it's fruit is made up Of; then
if we will find out of what our soil con-
sists, theinteligentp planter readily under
stands what elements he must apply to
his lands to grow the tree, as also that it
may produce fruit in perfection
I am firmly OF the opinion that our
rough oranges, our thick-skinned or
anges, our oranges of uneven size, and the
dropped oranges, are all imperfec-
tions caused by improper culture of the
tree. When see, as often do, all these
faults combined in a whole grove or a
single tree, | often at glance can see
from whence comes this trouble.
Much of my time for the past five years
has been among the trees. ] visit them

and the trees have a happy, well fed, cared

Has the treatment in both cases been the

Within the pastweek have visited two
large groves; both are fine; are on high
pine land; both are producing heavy
crops; in one case thefruitis badly rusty,
much of it thick-skinned, coarse and very
uneven in size, with half of it on the
ground to-day. In the other case the
fruit is seventy-five per cent. bright, sizes
are very even, with not tenth as many
drops. Again need not ask, Have they
had the same treatment? The trees tell of
that In the one case they have been fed
with too much of some one element, and

ga Little Learning"

The danger, or perhaps the conse-
quence, of little learning, accom-
panied by a not very considerate
regard for the public welfare, or scru-
pulousness in the treatment of i'm
portant public matters, is shown by
the Rutland Herald in its comments on
the late examination of teachers under
the new school law. The Herald rep
resents that the applicants for certif-
Gates to teach in Rutland county, ex-
amined at Rutland, found Superin-
tendent Palmer's questions veritable
" corkers." In their efforts to answer
them the young women who entered
upon the examination bright-eyed
and rosy checked" as the work pro-
crossed grew " shallow-cheeked weary
and worn" "Fair brows were wrink-
led, eyes scowled in steady thought,
hair was mussed, shoulders were bent
and general air of perplexity was on
the faces of the candidates." with
much more of the same sort. And
what was the cause of all this commo-
ton and cumulative agony? The
educational rebus" Superintendent
Palmer had sent the " candidates in his
examination papers" In plain United
States, the Herald means the questions
the superintendent had prepared for
the examination Of applicants for teach
ers' certificates. If the superintendent
were subject to written examination,
his answers to questions submitted to
him would constitute his examina-
ton papers," These might or might
not contain " rebus," but why should
the superintendent send &C his examina-
ton papers" to applicants for teach
ers' certificates ? All this is of no
special importance, except as its sig
nificance may appear in the context.
Getting down to business at length,
the Herald says:
I" The difficulty of their the applicants
task will be at once seen in these examples
taken from the civil government paper
Question seven; (a) Name the officers of the
county court. O) How are they electedi
There are twenty-seven officers not includ
ing the janitor. There are twenty eight on
the list, but the death of Mr. Owen, jail com
missioner, recently, makes the number one
less How are these applicants to know
the names Of all these ofiice-holders without
record thereof? II the question had been

joined in voting down Mr.. Labouchere's
substitute. Mr.. Gladstone briefly said
he was averse to all measures of econ
omy that impaired the dignity and splen-
dor of the crown. Mr.. Morley then
offered an amendment to the effect that
the house is unwilling to increase the
burdens of the people without assur-
ance that no further grants will be pro.
posed for younger members of the
royal family. This was also defeated
and the original report then passed to
its first reading. The result shows
that, with the exception of the extreme
radicals, the English people is still will
ing to pay literally for maintaining the
institution of royalty. The only real
question at issue was as to the advisa-
bility of extending this generosity to
those removed by several steps from
the throne.

Royal Grants.

The question of voting grants of
money to the children and grandchil-
dren of Queen Victoria has been thor
oughly discussed in the British paria-
ment during the past two weeks. The
result of the debate, as was to be eX-
pected, was large majority in favor of
continuing the established precedent
and voting the grants recommended by
the committee on the subject. The
committee recommended that $780, 900
be added to the annual allowance of the
Prince of Wales, out of which he should
provide for his children, and that the
queen should still have the right to ask
further provision from parliament for
her grandchildren. Mr.. Labouchere
moved the adoption of substitute de-
claring that the sums given the royal
family are already amply sufficient, and
that if further supplies are needed they
ought to be provided through retrench-
ment in the expenses of the royal
household. He said that the queen
and her family already receive 3d.
10000 annually from the country, that
the queen had made large savings from
the civil list-some say from $4,000, 00O
to $l5, 000,0 00-and that the extreme
limits of nations grants ought to be
the children of the sovereign. He sug-
gested that if money were needed by
the royal family it might be had by
abolishing such useless offices as those
of lord chamberlain, lord steward
master of the house, master of the
buckhounds, eight lords in waiting
eight grooms in waiting and -four
equerries. Mr., Bradlaugh and Sir Viii
frid Lawson supported Mr.. Labouchere
On the other side, Mr.. Balfour declared
the objections to the grant " sordid ant
disgusting" the Hon. w. II. Smith
stated that the alleged savings of thu
queen were overestimated, and Lore
Harrington denounced Mr.. Bradlaugh''

and of sufficient extent to supply the
whole colony should be secured. Ac-
cording to reports received, there are
four sections of the state answering
the requirements in this particular,
though perhaps occupying parts of
more than one town. If you think the
unoccupied lands in your vicinity suita-
BILE for the purpose mentioned, and de-
sire that your town should secure the
benefits of such settlement, the com
missioner would be glad to correspond
with you and your selectmen, or others
interested. The following information
is essential:
First-How many contiguous acres
could probably be secured in your town
and adjoining towns?
Second-At what price do YOU think
the land could be bought?
"Ihird-Information as to quality of
land, its improvements, location.
Fourth = Conditions being salts
factory, could bonds for deeds be Sc
cured, and would you, or a person or
persons selected by you, do the work
required, the commissioner, of course,
refunding any moneys necessarily ex-
pended?
FVth-Would the people of your
town take an interest in the enterprise
In taking hold of this matter you
can have the satisfaction of knowing
that you may be the means of bringing
to our state the most desirable class Of
immigrants, whose presence and habits
could but conduce to the advancement
of Vermont and add much to the value
of property in your own immediate
section. If this is begun at all it is
but beginning, as friends and rela-
tives left behind will surely follow, and
the good results will be permanent and
far-reaching. Again it is repeated that
the commissioner has no fixed policy to
advocate. On the contrary, he has
grave doubts as to the results of his
labors, and especially as to whether
the thoughts herein suggested can be
! followed to practical conclusion.
Certain it is that the active co-opera-
ton of yourself and other prominent
men, and of the citizens generally of
the towns where desirable lands are
located, is necessary to insure salts
factory results, or even to Justify be-
ginning. If the idea commends itself
to the judgment of practical business
men and meets with sufficient encour-
agement, the lands will be visited in
September of the present year, with a
view of selecting location for the first
fifty families, to be brought from
Sweden in the early spring of 1890"
The commissioner closes with the
expression of desire that the listers
will give this business their prompt
and careful attention and report at
their earliest convenience.

European Freights.

The interstate commerce commission
has made another important decision.
1t is in favor of the people as against
the railroads, though in favor of the
seaport cities as against the western
ones. The railroads had been charging
as high as thirty-eight cents a hundred
pounds on freight to be delivered to
New York merchants, while only charg-
ing twenty cents on that to be shipped
to Europe, though in the latter case
they had the expense of delivering it
ON board the vessels. To the common
sense of common people this was mani
festly discrimination in favor of for
eign consumers as against those in
New York, but the railroads main
tanned that the discrimination was APP
parent and not real, since they must
carry the export traffic at low rates or
not carry it at all, and that in the latter
case they must raise their local rates
The Produce Exchange of this city
happened to be interested on the side
of the people, as the reduced export
rates caused all goods for Europe to be
shipped direct from the western cities,
instead of being consigned to New
York for reshipment. The case was
in this way brought before the com.
mission. There the railroads claimed
that the interstate commerce law simply
forbade the charge for the shorter haul
Go New York; to be greater than for
the longer haul Go LiverpooD. The
commission decided against them, de-
claring that rates could not be made so
as to afford cloak for injustice and
discrimination. If the roads can make
money shipping foreign-bound freight
at low rate, they could also make
money if they shipped domestic freight
at the same rate. The cost of service
is the same, and difference in rates is
an imposition upon domestic con-
sumers. If the reduced rate for export
is not really profitable to the roads,
there is no reason why it should be
maintained. Let the freight 90 by
water routes, which are profitable. The
people can not watch the railroad in
each detail of its management. They
can simply lay down the general prin-
ciple to be followed, and this principle
is that rates shall be proportional to
the cost of service. Christian Union.
