The women of the Russian tele-
graph service are raising great out
cry in the press against the hardship
of the law in force in Russia that they
may only marry telegraphists, and
that, too, only those who are engaged
at the same station, the official idea
being that they thereby, in case of
need, would be able to take the place
Of their husbands. A young Russian
woman writes to Novgorod paper
II have, therefore, if [ do not choose
to forfeit my situation, first to fall in
love with an electrical swain, then to
manage that he falls in love with me
next to arrange that he is transferred
to my station. This is hard task for
girl who is riveted fourteen hours
every day to her apparatus, and does

You want to make money, Of course.
Well. go to Oregon and raise apples.
Listen to an Oregon farmer: In my
orchard I have few trees of green
ings, from which gathered thirty
eight boxes of apples, which Melted me
at the orchard 20 cents per box. or
$3.50 each for the four trees. Taking
seventy trees to the acre, which is the
usual number planted, this gives a
nice little return of 1926 per acre. Now
to find out what can be accomplished
on ten acres, it is only necessary to
multiply little, and it will be seen
that apples pay bigger and better re-
turns with less labor than any other
produce, not excepting walnuts or
oranges"

IHE mementos of an old love af-
fair are always interesting. Romance
never dies. The flavor of it clings to
the materials which aided in carrying
it on. And SO the finding of a be-
grimed and badly battered metallic
box containing locket, bundle of
parchment letters, and faded ribbon
ON the revolutionary battlefield of
Stone Arabia sets the imaginative
mind at work to weaving romance OF
the days of ZIG. One side of the locket
was engraved with monogram. The
letters were evidently written by a
titled woman living in London in
1883 to her betrothed, who was q
Capt. Lowe, probably with the En-
glish forces in America. The last let
ter told of the failing health of the
writer and of her wish to see her lover
again. It was received just before the
battle of Stone Arabia. Did the lover
return to England, leaving the case be-
hind, or was he killed in battle. and ia
the package of letters SO carefully pre-
served the abiding proof that his true
loves love was returned?

then called "mussaenda," the discovery
OF which, it had been said in some

shrub could be advantageously en-

chicory. 1t grows to about ten feet
high, has very few leaves, and its
branches are wide apart. The berries
do not grow all along the branches, as
is the case with coffee. but in lunches
at THEN extremities. At present it is
only met with in the mountains. where
1t grows wild. 1t might be produced
on an extensive scale. but with it's in
