AS VIEWED FROM THE MOON.
Our Earth Looks SIxty-Four Times Larger
Than the Sun.

Our Earth Looks SIxty-Four Times Larger
q the Sun.
If lunar conditions are favorable to
human existence, and it is not certain
that they are not, and you could be
transported to the top of Pico or some
other tall peak or rock on the surface
of our "silvery sister world" how do
you suppose things would look from
such vantage ground? You would
probably first turn your eyes in the
direction of our earth, the world you
had just quilted, but to you it would be
a stranger. In place of the somber
globe you would naturally expect to
behold your eyes would be greeted with
a most wonderful sight. The earth
would appear to you to be sixty-fOur
times larger han the sun appears to
the residents of this mundane sphere;
this because the earth has eight times
the diameter of the moon, therefore she
must necessarily show the moonites
siXty-four times as much surface as the
moon shows us. The sun, on the other
hand, would appear no larger to you
from your observatory on the moon
than it does from our globe. The
earth's atmosphere being blue it has
been decided that the earth must ap-
pear as a blue ball to all outside on
lockers. What a glorious sight it must
be to our lunarian neighbors to look
upon q bright blue, swift-revolving
ball sixty-four times larger than the
sun!

A OPULA
Alexandra OF Wales in the Role of Grand
mother.

Alexandra OF Wales in the Role of Grand
mother.
Whatever the feeling of Englishmen
about other members of Queen Vic
toria's family, there is only one senti-
mcnt toward her daughter-in-law, the
princess of Wales. Not long ago the
princess became a grandmother, and
recently she has had a photograph
taken, in which she appears holding
the baby in her arms. This little great
granddaughter of Queen Victoria is
the child of the duke and duchess of
Fife, and the curious fact about the re-
cent photograph is that in it the prin-
cess looks a very little older than she
appears in Il similar photograph when
the mother Of this baby vas In infant
in the princess rms.
Another representation of the prin-
cess of Wales which Englishmen great
ly admire is a statue begun by Prince
Victor, of MISUNDERSTANDING, and
left unfinished when he died. 1t has just
been completed. In it the princess ap-
pears in a scholars cap and gown, with
roll of music in her hand. Probably
no features have ever been sculpturcd
and photographed oftener than those of
this royal lady, and the reason is not
that her face is beautiful alone, but
that it also expresses goodness.

TREES IN a CHURCH.
A Curious Little Story With Respect to
tho "Man OF Ross"

A Curious Little Story With Respect to
tho "Man OF Ross"
Trees are common enough in church
yards, but a tree inside q church is
somewhat of a rarity. A corrcspon-
dent, however, informs the London
Million, that there are two trees grow
ing inside the old church of Ross of
Iiercfordshire. They sprang up near
the seat formerly occupied by n man
named John Kyrle, who acquired fame
and distinction many years ago by ex-
pending n modest fortune in works of
public usefulness. These chiefly took
the form Of planting elm trees in his
native town, in order to brighten and
improve it's appearance work which
has since been carried on and extended
by the Kyrle society. In consequence
of these operations Kyrle became
known Is the "Man of Ross. Many
years later it was found necessary to
cut>down some of the elm trees near
the church, and q curious thing then
happened. Immediately after the trees
were destroyed I'VE elm trees sprang up
inside the church close to the seat
which the MAN of Ross used to occu-
py when he attended divine service
there. The trees were allowed to grow
in this strange spot, md may still be
seen by visitors to the town,

had been over to a drug store to make
some purchases discovered that he
was getting left. and made a good run
for the departing train, but failed to
overtake it. It was soon learned that
he had the tickets of most all of the
passengers in his possession, on ac-

County Official Paper,
PENNOYER.

Poor old Pennoyer, what n hard
time he has keeping himself in the
public eye. He has the misfortune
to be Governor Of Oregon, which is
the one position that stands between
him and his dearest wish Of becoming
trick mule in n country circus. For
the place he Is adequately fitted by
natural talents and education, and
long practice with Cubernatoria' op-
%portunities have made him a Danger
Gus rival of any four-footed ass in the
profession. P%ennoyer annot refrain
from his foollshness any more than a
monkey a from making faces; he
was born with wheels under his hat
and they have been whirring ever
since. 1t is quite probable that lie
has no desire to appear the fool that
he is; he may, indeed, try to hide the
fact that he should have a guardian;
but SO far he has failed. He is a
plain cad, extraordinarily impairment
even for an Oregonion; he has all the
ignorance Of a loon with the presump-
tion of q parrot. In answer to a bust
ness dispatch from the Secretary of
State, Pennoyer made mis- reply,
which was as follows, public:
I will attend to my business; let
the President attend to his.
At first we believed that was plain
whisky, but a second reading con-
WINGED us it IA something else. In
drawing attention to Pennoyer's re-
semblance to the mule we, of course,
apologize to the latter.-S. F.. Post.

Irrigation-The Other Side.

The most fashionable thing we can do lust now
is to write something about irrigation.
This fashion OF writing about irrigation like all
other fashions has some unaccountable peculiari-
ties.
1t is like Pennsylvania Avenue in WASHINGTON
or Broadway, New York. To be fashionable you
must be ION the proper side.'
SO far as heard from all the writer's on irrga-
ton are on the fashionable side. In fact it has
not yet developed that there is any other side
The "unaccountable popularity" of this fashion
is that it has become epidemic in State where
there is an average annual rainfall of about five
feet all over it and that rainfall tolerably we'll
distributed through the year. AS a matter of
fact Florida is about the rainiest State in the
Union, and yet this irrigation fever is all the CO.
Perhaps the unusually dry seasons for the last
two years have aggravated this epidemic Here
away the ponds and wells are lower than since
1876.
These bear mute and indisputabe testimony to
the fact that rainfall for the last two years
has been the lightest for sixteen years, and yet
with this remarkably short water supply our
orange groves never looked better and we have
the biggest and best orange crop ever known
here.
Every grove that has been fed has managed to
Sometimes the trees and soil looked as though
the supply was somewhat short. yes, absolutely
stingy. The sky would be like brass day after
day and week after week. The orange leaves
would grow smaller and smaller, and paler and
paler. They would curl little and little more.
and stay curled longer, then they would curl
good deal and stay curled all the time.
Then the tendelfoOt would get scared and
think his orange trees were going to die. Then
the old leaves, the sick leaves. the insect infected
leaves, in fact nearly all the leaves that we're of
no use would dry up, turn brown and die, and
our tenderfoot who never saw an orange tree in
drouth before would be in despair and squander
any amount OF stationery and stamps inquiring
about irrigation.
Now what were the orange trees and the soil
doing all this time? The tree was pushing it's
roots deeper and wider in search OF moisture

ing nearly all other lines of fruit, such as the
pear, peach etc.
What would Western wheat grower say to
you if you should tell him that instead of pow
ing, narrowing and drillingin his wheatcrop that
he should grow them in natures way? Where
would be the profit of the market gardeners of
the North if they would quit raising the Flat
Dutch the Drum Head and other fine improved
varieties OF cabbage and go back to natures
wild cabbage found on the coast of France?
Nature has given the base, the foundation, and
man must improve and perfect. until perfection is
reached. if ever He must bring chemistry, science
and the accumulated experience of the past ages
to aid in the development of new and better va
retes to get large and finer crops of fruit at
minimum of expense. S. P. SHEPHERD.

Grape Culture in South Florida.

This subject cannot be made quite as interest
ing in article of this kind some of our other
fruits having but the one variety thus far that
is marketable and generally considered North
and South to be the best of grapes, 'The White
Niagara" We pleased to say to the public
that we are satisfied with the vine and it's pro-
duction Grapes are grown on a variety of soils,
sandy, clayey, loamy, ETC. The soil no matter
what it is, must be well drained and located as
possible to transportation facilities.
Crop your vines moderately, if you wish fine,
well-ripened fruit. vine usually sets ore fruit
than it can mature Early in the season select
from five to twenty of the best clusters and take
off all the rest. The fruit left the vine will be
worth great deal more than all would be if left.
A vine in proportion to it's age, size and strength
is capable ofbringing to perfection only a certain
amount offruit. Annual and very carefullpruning
is of vital Importance for the production of good
fruit. This should be done in the last half of
November, December or January. but the earlier
they are p1uned after the middle of November
the better, as it gives the vine more time rest
The roots must not be called upon to support
too much wood, if they are, they will not mature
a crop of fruit 1t is impossible to formulate any
set rules for pruning vineyard; this must be
learned by actual experience and by studying
the nature and habits of the vine There are
scarcely two vines that grow exactly alike. What
will answer for q strong, well developed vine
would be ruinous to q weak vine and vice versa
There many methods of training vines but
the wire trels is ost generally employed Our
experience has led us to follow the present mode
of culture, namely, the renewal system. We have
adopted a trellis bracket which gives two
side wires about fifteen inches apart to train the
new shoots upon; they being placed about four
(Which is four feet two inches from the ground)
The vine after being pruned in the fall is tied to
this upper wire and as the shoots start they
are tied either side to the bracket wires, thus
forming protection for the fruit from the rays
Of the sun-the fruit hanging from the canes in
dependent and free, between the centre and side
wires. Grapes for the table, ripenng as they do
in South Florida, in June and July, should be
very carefully assorted before they are packed,
only the finest punches should be used Pack the
FRUIT firmly in the basket. The cover should
press the fruit little when it is in place, The
seconds or imperfect punches can all be used for
wine.
The Niagara makes very fine quality of dry
wine pronounced by experts to be equally
inc in quality as the Sauterne wine of France.
Spraying the vine is a very important feature
