l have just read w. L. More's letter
on Peach Culture in the South and
while interested in it l can not approve
his plan.
Peach trees do not require a very
rich soil. Thin, sandy-land, underlaid
with gravel, produces fine peaches. On
rich land there will be fine growth
of the tree, but the fruit will rot
Ashes and phosphate may be used to
advantage, but strong manures should
be avoided. He says person who con-
templates planting peach orchard
should always provide the variety that
is best adapted and has been tested by
some experienced horticulturist or
nursery man and not depend on
seedlings, as only one seed in
ten will produce fruit like
that from which it was taken. While
the truth is seven out of ten at least

USE OF BEACH PEBBLES.

They Are Caught tip in a Funny Looking
Scoop and Sold for Gravel.
Bright beach pebbles that have been
rolled back and forth on the sandy
shore of Lake Michigan nobody knows
how long are used as a commercial
commodity in Chicago. They eventual
ly find themselves sticking in hot tar
and making the gravel part of gravel
roofs; crushed under heavy rollers for
street pavements; and packed away
solidly as the base of maidstone side
walks.
The most interesting operation
through which these bright-colored
bits go is the gathering. Men clad in
trousers rolled up to the knees, shirt
and straw hat, wade along the beach
where the water line makes the peb-
b1es show clearly. In their hands is
sort Of net and hoe combined. The hoe
part is an open iron frame with thin
shoe where the edge of the blade would
be- Stretched on this frame and bend
ing at an angle of forty-fve degrees is
a stout wire net. With the shoe the
gravel is lifted from the beach and
drawn back into the net, through
which the adhered sand percolates.
Having filed net the workman
with a peculiar fling lands the load
against a sieve perched upon a wagon.
The sieve allows the pebbles of COM
aercial size to pass through into the
wagon and rejects those too large,
which fall back pattering into the road.
If is n common thing to see two and
three wagons at a time punched along
the beach in Lake View, each attended

an act restoring the coinage of the
country to the conditions established by
the founders of the nation, and which
continued for over eighty years without

Every hours delay In undoing the cor

insult TO the dignity of American people,
a crushing burden on their prosperity

That is screed. It is neither tenn.
perate in language nor pregnant with
thought. 1t teens with words; it is
poor in ideas.
We take the propositions serlatim.
1t is no argument that thing is good
now because II existed in milder form
for eighty years In the eighty years
mentioned the government had less TO
do with silver than in one year now. In
eighty one years, or from 1892 to 1873,
the total amount Of silver dollars coined
was S. Ol5, s3S Since 1878 the total
coinage has been $4i9, 29i s35. Of which
amount there is only sos 600, coo in cir

writes sense. There is no sense in the

1t is a plain, simple, business matter,
like the use Of the ysrdsticlS, the bushel
or the gallon measure.
It is of no Importance to the currency
question what causes have procured the
decline In the intrinsic value of silver
dollar; the fact is that where it was
worth 1O2 cents previous to 1878 and
passed current with gold at the rate Of

Eating London Sandwiches.

Among the crowd Of us who rushed into
one of the refreshment rooms Of the London
and Northeastern line, where we had to
wait for an hour. was a chap who had made
up his mind to say something unpleasant
when he came to pay for his refreshments.
He was growing when he went in, and he
jawed all the while he was eating, and
when he slouched up to the counter to pay
he shouted ont;
"Them sandwiches are enough to kill
dog"
"What sandwichesT
"Why, them on the table"
"But we have no sandwiches on the
table"
"You haven't? Well, should like to
know what you call them roasted brick

made Of terra Gotta, and were placed there
to help fill up space. Upon my word, you
must have strong teeth and jaws"

Everybody knows the pretty little forget

because of its name than it's beauty. How
was it so called? The Germans account for
it by quite a pathetic romance. IL seems
that once upon a time knight and lady
were walking by the bank Of the Danube
when the latter asked her gallant gay" to
pluck for her a tiny blue flower which she
saw growing in the stream. No sooner said
than done, but the knight, overbalancing,
fell into the river and owing to the slip

his own armor was carried away by the

TO Improve our Consular service.

The consular service should be made
more homogeneous. As at present consti-
tuted there is no general supervision over
the different consulates in the several
countries They should all be made sub
servient TO. the consul general, or, even bet
ter, as in the English service, to the minis
ter accredited to the country in which they
are located As it is. some consuls report
to the legation, some to the consul general
and others direct to the department of
state. II is recognized that this custom
arose partly 70 procure quicker mail facili-
ties but in many instances postal service
has been improved lately, and the cable
and telegraph can be used for emergencies.
The cOnsuls general could be dispensed
with, or if retained should pay annual
visits to thedilferent post1 in their districts,
duty at present only permitted in some
countries once year and by special permits
sion on application to the department A
novel feature might be substituted to in
crease the efficiency of the consular service
in the institution Of several superintend-
ents, whose duty it would be to visit the
various consulates and inform the depart
ment in relation to their true state, such as
the proper location of the Office, the state
of the records, the correctness of accounts,
as well as to ferret out abuses and inquire
into any charge of misconduct, all Of which
can only be done by personal inspection
