A Brave Little Yankee.

During the revolution party of Con-
necticut troops were captured on Long
Island, one of whom was a ffer boy
much undersized, though full of fire and
very strong for his inches. His COM
handing officer being summoned to the
presence Of tho British general, the boy
followed. "Who are your" said the gen.
eral. The boy replied, 81 am one of
King Hancocks men" "Can you fightP'
asked the general. Eyes, sir; 1 can"
said the boy.
The general called up one of his own
fifers and said, Dare you fight himY'
Eyes, sir" answered the little Yankee
The general then told the fifer to strip
and give battle, which he did forthwith.
The fight ended in victory for the small
son of Connecticut. Indeed, the little
Briton was so badly damaged that it
was deemed best to interfere, lest the
Yankee boy should demolish him en-
:.::-ely.
The English officer rewarded the lit
tie fellows valor and resolution by Civ
ing him his liberty, and he lost no time
in making his way to the land of steady
habits, where his exploit was duly chron-
icled in tie local newspaper. y outh's

out blossoms, and of these there are
two kinds, which are known as stam-
mate and pistilate. In order to have
pecan trees produce fruit it is neces-
sary that some of the dust or pollen
from the stamens come i'll contact and
adhere to the pistils. BY this means
fertilization is produced and the seed
formed. Without this no fruit can
be formed. The wind bees scatter
this pollen and bring one in contact
with the other.
"My trees are now two years old,
and in six years more they will begin
to bear. Those contemplating plant
ing an orchard Should recollecs that
the best results are obtained by plant
ing the nut. Then you get tree that
will produce nut equally as gold as
the seed from which it sprung. The
pecan tree has long tap root, and for
this reason they rarely ever live when
tran>planted. Besides this, when the
nut is planted the quality of the pro-
duct of the orchard is assured,
81 have had a great many inquiries
from the different Southern States in
regard to my orchard. 1t is an in
dustry that promises fortune to those
who will engage in it."

The Art of Entertaining.
from the Christian Uniol,

From the Christian Uniol.
To entertain elegantly is the am
biton of every hostess, but it is ac-
complished by few, because there
seems to be a confusion of undstanda
ing between elegance and the ac-
cumulaton of things. That
elegance means balance, rather
than prodigality, seems not to
be understood by many who seek to
entertain, is not understood by many
who entertain from love of friends,
to whom circle OF friends gathered
about their table means happiness.
What is the meaning of the word?
1t does not mean TO feed merely. 1t
means diversion; and to accomplish
its own ends, the labor or money ex-
pended must not be forced upon the
attention of the guest. No man
is diverted who is appalled, at
the thought of the expense in.
Cured for his ntertainment.
No guest can enjoy that which he
knows involves sacrifice; there is no
fiattery in an entertainment that is
beyond the means of his host. We
boast of our independence, but it is
fast becoming independence in speech
only. We lose individuality, and So
cial life is suffering. How few there
are who have the courage to make
their own standards OF entertaining
and live up to them. The man of a
small income feels that to entertain
his friends he must be able to expend
as much as does the man of twice his
income, and so he runs in debt to his
necessities to give his friends super
fluities and defeats his object. His
friend, knowing his income is embar-
raised at the outlay, eats through the
courses with a troubled conscience,
applying balm by resolving never to
come again.
The daily papers give an account of
a magnolia dinner given by the wife
of a five times millionaire. The wife
of professional man, whose income
is less than that of the chef employed
by Mrs. Lucullus, decides that is just
what she will give; forgetting that the
success of Mrs. Lucullus did not de-
pend on the presence of magnolias by
the hundreds, nor of ices frozen in
magnolia forms, but on thousands of
minor details, not the least of which
was the consciousness of each guest
that the expenditure of a thousand
dollars more or less for their enter
tainm afforded Mrs. Lucullus that
much more pleasure. Every added
detail that was novelty was just so
much more entertainment for Mrs.
Lucullus. Her misguided imitator
sends her guests away with the frag-
rance of the magnolias suggesting a
florists bill

THE BELLS.

Merrily, merrily the bells ring,
And sweet are the faces fair
OF youth and the wealth of joyous health,
Sunny eyes and golden hair,
On the path that is strewn with flowers
That blossom then wither Away,
For the world is bright to the children's
sight
But dark when the hair turns gray.
Sunday in the land of the christian
Not always glitter and show,
For the bells we hear are priceless and
dear
To steps that are feeble and slow.
Perchance it is some kind old mother
In black who trudges along,
Whose sons have fled and her daughters
wed,
Shutting alone through the throng.
Some man who, now broken and weary,
Must pay this tribute TO God,
As recompense for life's offense,
Before he goes under the sod.
Aye! symbols of sorrow and gladness
Are the bells that the world has known,
For the sweetest bells of a marriage tells,
The saddest that life has flown.
But why the church bells keep ringing
Human must not reply,
For none can tell by the song of the bell
The sentence that waits when we die.
IT'S beautiful superstition
If wrong-if right it is well;
We grope in the dark, and the only
spark
Of light is the vesper bell.

Who Arc the Cretins?

They are class of the unfortunates
unable to walk, usually deaf and dumb
and practically blind. This degenera.
ton of body and mind is occasioned by
poverty, impure air, filth, intermarriage
of relatives and intemperance. Though
found in other portions Of the earth,
Cretins are very numerous in central and
southern Europe. In several Of the
Swiss cantons they are said to form from
to per cent. Of the population. In
Rhenish Prussia and in the Danubian
provinces of Austria the number is still
greater; in Syria many villages of foui
or five thousand inhabitants not having
a single man capable of bearing arms.
In Wurtemberg and Bavaria, in Savoy,
Sardinia, the Alpine regions of France
and the mountainous district Of Spain
the disease is very PREVALENT. N. Hal

LINES ON A PICTURE

1 give you your picture, though it hurts me
to part
From treasure so sweet, SO dear to my
heart.
When Fate casts my fortune in lands far
from this,
In those eyes I'd have gazed with infinite
bliss;
I'd have thought of the fair one whose
image was there.
Alas! All my hopes have vanished in
air!
Then take thou thy picture so lovely and
fair,
And think on those hopes that have van
ished in air.
And think on the sadness OF friend good
and true,
Then do what your conscience tells you
to do.

A Texas Pecan Orchard.

F. A. Swinden of Brownwood, Tex,
enjoys the distinction of owning the
only pecan orchard of any size in the
world. He is an enthusiast on the
subject of pecan culture, and while in
Galveston, recently, he was interview.
ed by News reporter, to whom he
said: ~ have pecan orchard of II, :
OOU trees, covering 400 acres, within
two miles of the town of Brentwood.
There is no surer way to make a for
tune than to plant pecan orchard
and let them grow. A tree years
old will produce bushel of nuts, and
these are worth from 50 to 81 per
bushel, and when the tree if fully
grown, say II to Is years old it will
bear about fourteen bushels of nuts.
think when my trees are years old
my first crop of pecans will not be less
than II 900 bushels and the cost of
gathering will not exceed 10c per
bushel.
"In the meantime, while I am wait
ing for the trees to mature the land
is not idle. l have part of it in cotton
and part in alfalfa. This grass is a
species of clover and makes a hay
that surpasses anything grown in the
State or in the West. 1t has long
tap root and stands the drolth well.
/ have $50 acres of the orchard in
alfalfa. 1t produces three crops a
year, and an acre Yields from three to
four tons of hay, which is worth $40
per ton. My crop will be about 300
tons this yeal. Thus you see that
while the orchard is growing the land
need not be idle. Of course when the
trees begin to bear and shade the
ground it would not be practicable to
cultivate the land between them.
"When my orchard begins TO bear
shall SOW it in orchard grass and
thus secure good turf, which will
be useful in gathering the crop. After
the first frost the nuts will begin to
drop off the trees. Then l will use a
patent sweeper which will gather the
nuts in rows and then they will be
run through machine to be assorted,
cleaned and polished. Thus the cost
of gathering Will be comparatively
small
"There is no trouble about finding
q market for all the pecans that can
be raised. l recollect fifteen years
ago pecaps were worth 80 cents per
bushel, and now they are worth four
times that amount.
"There if gentleman near Brown
wood who has pecan tree that for
the past three years has netted him
$40 on the sale of the nuts"
.'How about the failure OF tue crop;
does it not occur very often?"
Some people think that the crop is
uncertain and can not be depended
mon. This is easily accounted for and
the uncertainty of the crop can be OBJ
waited by the planting of orchards.
THE greater the number of trees within
reasonable distance of each other,
better the chances are for crops each
wear. No tree can produce fruit with
