Thinning AppI.s

The following advantages are given by
q successful orchardist of thinning the
apples on heavy bearing trees while the
fruit Is small: ~ You get rid of the knot
ty and wormy apples before they have
grown long enough to occupy the places
OF better ones. (2) You thus destroy, be-
fore they can increase, the insects In such
as are stung by tho curculio and infested
by the codling worm. (3) The best ones
being left, they have plenty of room To
grow into large. fine. salable specimens
t4) You are not Obliged TO gather twice
rs many small ones. the labor OF picking
depending on number and not on size.
90 The bad ones are removed In time at
hess than half the labor required for hand
picking when they become large. tfb
You avoid much labor in asserting the
gathered crop and in separating the
scabby and knurly from the best fruit.
ca The moderate crop which Il allowed
10 grow will exhaust the trees less than
the heavy crop Of poor and seedy speci.
mems. He shinks that TO allow all the
poor and worthless apples to grow is
like the practice OF the farmer who
would permit all coarse weeds 10 grow

China Viii Rotaliate.

A Chinese newspaper published in
San Francisco printed lately what
was said to be instructions from the
Chinese Government to its counsuls
in this country. In regard to the
Geary law which compels every
Chinaman in the country to register
within year or 60 to jail and be ex-
PEELED from the country, these in
structions say that China is wealthy
and could easily cope with America
in war. but that she will not do that
but use other means of retaliation.
The article goes on to state that II
the Chinese be compelled to register
in this country, American residents
in China will also be compelled to
register there and wear tags ON
penalty Of imprisonment and ex-
pulsion. China will also impose a
heavy duty on American flour and
cotton.

ExpeditlOus but Rather Trying.

An Hibernian, fresh from the green
isle, having sufficient means to pro-
vide himself with a horse and cart
(the later kind probably he never saw
before) went to work on a public
road. Being directed by the overseel
to move lot of stones near by and
deposit them in a gully on the Other
side of the road, he forthwith loaded
his cart, drove up to the place, and
had nearly finished the swing Of his
load by hand, when the ''boss" told
him that was not the way-he must
tilt or dump his load at once. Paddy
replied that he would know better
next time. After loading again. he
drove to the chasm. put his shoulder
to the wheel, and upset the cart,
horse, and all into the gully. Scratch.
ing his head, and looking rather
doubtful at his horse below him, he
observed, "Bedad. it's a mighty ex
peditious way. but it must be tryin
to the baste."

Supreme Court Decision.

Lno supreme court UurlnS LILO present
sitting was the one in the case of j. NJ.
Myers ct al, against Sallie o. Smith, in
which case the decision was in favor of
Mrs. Smith. The case involves the title
to over 1900 acres Of land in Wyan-
dotte county that is worth, at a very
moderate estimate, fully $4,000. It
includes the town-site of the village Of
Vance, and the farms of J. NJ. Myers,
Mr.. Mallott, and a number Of other
prominent citizens there.
The point in the case is the validity
of the will of the late Isaac Johnny
cake, who was chief of the Delaware In
dians until he met tragc death down
in the Nation, about fifteen years ago.
The tract of land was occupied by
him for years and was known as the
Johnnycake homestead. Shortly after
his death paper purporting to be his
last will and testament was produced,
fled in the court and probated. The
will was drawE according to the laws
and customs of the Cherokee nation,
and was probated in a Cherokee court
and supposedly in due and legal form.
By the provisions of the will the entire
estate was left to his sons. being divided
into a number Of large farms. The
widow and daughters were left out en-
tirelv, and as such an act created much
comment, and after a time. when the
sons b I'd sold the farms to the present
occupants. and they had been improved
ana become very valuable, Mrs. Sallie
o. Smith. one of his daughters. having
become convinced that the will was void,
began ejectment proceedings against
the parties.
1t was fought through the lower
court and finally landed in the supreme
court, where it was argued and submit
ted. The court took it under advise
ment and the decision has long been
delayed. in order to give ample time for
its consideration.
1t was not proven positively that tie
paper was the will of the late 1E. I
Johnnycake, and the further fact Wao
that the will was not pro-
bated properly and according to Law, %
that the carrying on: Of its purpostod
provisions was without the warrant e
