Mouths and eyes have had occasion
to remember our energetic and watch

dust have filled them to overlooking
There is no excuse for such general
cussedness i'll the management of pub
lie affairs. Why have not the streets
been scraped? Is the council afraid TO
appropriate a few dollars2 Common
decency is outraged. If bit more
common sense was manifested and APP
piled to matters sanitary, and less to
political denagogy, to the unseating
of honestly elected councilmen, and
the usurpation Of others, these wars OF

People of Martinsburg, you need a

duces to honorable government. YOU

The spectacle Of u tree standing upon a
tower Of the Unitarian church in the city
of Utica, \. Y, has aroused much interest
as well as discussion as to what is really
essential TO plant life in order that deyel-
opment may continue.
This mountain ash has heen growing
for 80 years upon narrow ledge Vt sand
stone, sprouting from joint i'll the ma
sonry less than an inch in width. The
main stem, just above the stone, at the
present time has a diameter Of . inches.
The tree is lj or IL feet in height, and
possibly feet across its widest part; the
branches are thick and numerous, and for
some years each autumn they have been
bright with the vivid scarlet berries Pc
culiar to this species of tree.
Protruding from chink in a mortared
wall, ~ feet above the street, exposed to
the glare Of the sun in the summer and the
frosts OF many severe winters, its roots
only having the mortared interstices Of
masonry through which to penetrate in
search of nutriment, the question may
we'll be asked. Where does this tree obtain
the elements that enter into the compost

absorbing from the air and through its
foliage the elements upon which it lives
and thrives2 Or does dust settle in the

ORANGE Growing In PaIestIne.

It is only Of recent years that Jatfa or
anges have obtained worldwide reputa-
tion, for but some IS years since they were
scarcely known save at Beyroot, AleXan-
dria and Constantinople. \ special fea-
ture Of the Jafia orange is that twill keep
30 or 40 days, and II properly packed for
two and sometimes even three months
The port of Jaffa Is surrounded on the
land side hy orange, groves, covering an
area Of ,7s0 acres. New orange groves
are constantly being planted, and there
are now double as many as there were )
years ago. Each orange garden contains
about 1000 square feet of planted area,
equal to about 900 trees to - acres.
The trees begin to bear the fourth year
after planting, but it is estimated that it
takes seven and sometimes eight years be-
fore an orange orchard yields paying
crop. During all this time and even aft
erward the orchards have to be watered
continually, and this irrigation is the most
difficult and loborious part Of the work,
the water having to be drawn by means Of
primitive waterwheels from wells dug in
the gardens 30 feet and even 100 feet deep.
