We Should Grow Prunes.


First-Prunes can only be successfully
grown in this country in the four states
OF Washington, Idaho, Oregon, and Call
fornia.
Second-The quality of Washington
and Idaho prunes are superior to those of
California.
Third-Last year the United States
consumed 96,0O0,000 pounds of dried
prunes, Of which 100000 pounds were
imported from foreign lands.
Fourth--1he increase in the consump-
ton of prunes is outgrowing the increase
in the population Of the country.
Fifth-In comparison with their value
dried prunes can be moved to market
much more cheaply then many other
products of the land.
These are some Of the reasons why the
state of Washington offers special induce
ments to those who wish to find good
thing in fruit growing. The first prune
tree were set up in this statc a,.out' ~
years ago. This years crop will probably
reach 5000, 0O0pounds, as against 2 ,OOO,-
900 pounds for Oregon 24,OOO,OOO pounds,
for California.-Spokane Review.

A twisted leacnInE.

One Of the most perverted and un-
comfortable doctrines Is the one
preached to the plain girl by the we'll
meaning moralist: '"You can't be
pretty. my dear; you are hopelessly
plain, of course. The only thing you
can do is 60 be good and amin BILE and
helpful, and make youself attractive
to people in that way" There is some
truth at the bottom Of this, but 1t Is so
twisted out OF shape that no one could
recognize 1t. People who are truly
good, and whose lives are but an OK
preston Of the love OF which their
hearts are full, couldn't help being
p ,tty II they wanted 10. The moral
sermon would be much more popular If
1t were preached in It's proper shape.
When hypocrites pretend to be good
and helpful, it is the hypocrisy that
shows, not the goodness, for there is
none there. True love and real sweet
ness are always truly beautiful, and
shine out in the face Of their possessor
with q loveliness that attracts far more
than Grecian features or dazzling COM
plexion.-Harper's Bazar.

A GOOD WAY TO REST.
Give the Mind Wru the Body the
Much Needed Relaxation.

Give the Mind We'll the Body the
Much Needed Relaxation.
1t is "a fact that seems to be not al
ways appreciated by the majority of
persons that the mind needs rest quite
as much as the body. The idea of rest
to most people, seems to mean just to
leave off physical exer5ion; but this Is
one of the serious mistakes. 1t is often
the case that the mind is much more in
need of rest than the body, and that
physical recuperation is next to impos-
sible without freedom from mental
strain and worry.
The mother rests by sitting down to
tend the baby or to look over the
dilapidated wardrobe of her large fam
fly of small responsibilities. The busi-
ness man often rests by leaving his
oounting-room and going out to look
over some bit of real estate, possibly
some unproductive corner in the world q
great vineyard, a corner perhaps neg
lected and abused, and one which has
caused him no end of trouble.
Instead of going quietly away where
absolute relaxatio of mind and body
is possible, these persons merely sub
stitute one kind of work for another
The result is that many people come to
believe that, for some reason or other
that they can't understand, what peo-
pie call rest and relaxation amount to
very little for them; and this is true,
but through no fault whatever of the
theory. 1t is entirely the practice that
is wrong.
Ill-temper, mental irritation and a
general sense of discomfort and unrest
are symptoms not in the least under-
stood by many over-worked people,
and that entire freedom from care and
worry are at times as necessary as
sleep does not even occur to them
They seem to take it for granted
| that q nights rest gives the mind
as we'll the body all of the re-
Taxation that is necessary, but such
persons often find themselves
completely worn out and feel
ing languid and misera BILE. They have
| curtailed the hours of physical rest.
They rise unduly and sit up long afte r
they should be asleep. The mind a4
we'll as the body feels the strain, and
| evidences of breaking up appear in the

When people find themselves guilty

| tic infelicities, they should stop u mo-
mont and wonder whether the cause Is
| not in too long hours, too much care
| and too little rest and relaxation. Be-
| cause we can not see the tang BILE
action of mind weariness, and because
| it only works In secondary fashion,
| we are wont to overlook one of the
| most important laws of life, which Is
| that all portions of the system should

| pleasant consequences as violations OF

His Social Position Much Coveted by His

The social position of the German of.

A foreign invasion is at all times 80
present to the mind of the German that
the army never for moment loses it's
great significance to the people. With
US, our men are SO far away on the out
skirts Of civilization that we scarcely
hear of them, and many an American
has grown to manhood without being
able to describe the uniform Of the
American army. The German off,
Ger always wears his uniform, and
wherever he moves he represents the
majesty of the law as we'll as the
national power. If landlord wishes
to recommend his beer-room to you, he
can say nothing higher than that it is
frequented by officers. A theater in
which officers do not appear is consid-
cred to have sunk below the level of
good society. Officers at German dim
ners and balls are much coveted, for
the officer is assumed to have good
breeding, and to be in all respects a
cultivated man. During the great mil
itary operations in the autumn officers
are quartered upon the proprietors of
the neighborhood; and far from this
being regarded as a nuisance, those
who have officers billeted upon them
consider the circumstance rather agree
able than otherwise. When parades
and reviews are the order of the day,
when traffic is blocked upon the
streets, the friendship Of an officer Is
more than sentimental pleasure, for he
can take you through all the lines which
the police hold against the great army
OF citizens An officer can go any,
where In uniform, and enjoys social ad-
vantages from the very moment of put
ting on his shoulder-strape which men
in other walks Of life do not attain un-
til they have distinguished themselves
very much indeed. 1t Is in Germany q
great thing to go to court, and very
| few ever succeed in entering that
charmed circle excepting through
