He GIVES FACTS.
Captain Davis Speaks of the Haul
ing Capacity of the Engines.

President William Davis, of the San
Antonio and Gulf Shore road was called
upon by a reporter for the LIGHT this
morning and gave out the following facts
for publication:
An engine, l6X24 will haul on a level,
IN addition TO the weight of the engine
and tender. and with the rails and cars
in good condition, deductlng from
% per cent to 50 per cent for the
defect OF rails and cars: 1,175
gross tons. On a twenty foot grade 1t
will haul 555 gross tons: on a forty foot
grade, 365 gross tons; on sixty foot grade,
POS; on a hundred foot grade, which is
about two per cent, 1865 tons.
"All engines ordered for the San Anto-
MO and Gulf Shore road are l7x24. By
these figures it will show that 16X24
inch cylinder will haul load of Q to - cars
up two per cent grade, and II inch
cylinder will haul about 20 cars
This puts at rest the grade over Daw-
son street, which is the only street that
trains can be operated upon economically,
unless the city will allow other streets to
be cut down"

Peasant Life In Denmark.

Wherever il is possible i'm Denmark
the pieces of furniture are i'm pairs,
placed in exactly corresponding posi-
tions. | have even heard OF n worthy
old peasant who wished To buy two
pianos, not because his daughters
played quartettes, but simply in
order to have them match. The chaos
OF a modern drawing-room would fill
these lovers OF order with holy horror.
Frequently the sides of the room are
lined with wooden benches extending
from end of the fireplace TO the
other. They bring TO mind the
benches the sages tell OF in the halls
OF the ancient vikings, the high seat
Of the husband referred To before,
exactly corresponding in use and
spirit to the chief seat OF those sea
rovers Of old. Such an old-time
flavor about everything makes it easy
To believe one is not i'm this nineteenth
century, but in a land where time
has stood still"
The daily food Of the Danish peas
ant, while coarse, is nourishing and
plentiful. The commonest articles
are porridge OF various sorts, salt
meats, cheese and black bread,
and beer and aqua vitae are
drunk by the men. At great
feasts, such as ~christenings, con-
firmations, weddings and funerals,
the quantity of food and drink m
sumed is enormous. A writer on tho
Jutish pcasantry tells OF n wedding
feast at which II hundred persons
assisted i'm the kitchen and at the
table. The preparations began over
II week beforehand, and the festivities
lasted several days. On such an oc-
casion il is considered n great dis
grace for the waiting girls, daughters
and friends OF the family, TO allow n
plate to remain untitled, and the
guests are as eager 10 bring about
such II catastrophe as the girls are to
prevent It. At the first rap of the
spoon Or the fork ON the plate, half n
dozen rustic lIebcs run to repair the
fault. At funeral fcasts there is n
soberer enjoyment of the good things
provided, but the appetite is none the
less keen. As II whole. the Danish
peasants probably live better than
the corresponding class in any other
country i'm Europe Tho outlook.

HOW TO HAVE GOOD FRUIT.

Under natural conditions a tree
bear fruit. This varies greatly with
different kinds of fruit, some coming
into bearing much earlier than others.
Whenever we allow or force a tree To
bear fruit before it is reasonably we'll
established, the vitality of the tree is
injured. Natures way is to let the
tree reach maturity before it sets to
work TO effect Its reproduction 10y seed.
We may by dwarfng the tree obtain
fruit earlier. In some cases and In
der some conditions the same varieties
of trees will bear earlier than at Others,
and in testing new varieties dwarting
is often allowed in order to get at re-
extra care must be given or the vital
ity of the tree will be injured.
In the ordinary orchard II Is best to
let the tree bear III its own good time
rather than attempt any forcing.
Cultivate and fertilize so RS to give IA
healthy. vigorous growth. Get the
tree ell-established and ordinarily il
will bear good crops of fruit.
Most trees, if thrifty and vigorous,
are inclined to overbear, to set more
fruit than they can properly mature
without IA too severe draft on the vital
ity. One reason why so many trees
Deal fruit only in alternate years is
that they are allowed to overbear to
such an extent one season that the
tree is so exhausted that it requires
the next seasons growth to recuper-
ate. Fol this reason proper pruning
in season aud careful thinning after
the fruit has formed well is necessary
in order TO prevent the tree from over.
bearing and at the same time secure Il
better quality of fruit.
The formation of fruit buds de-
ponds not SO much upon changes which
occur during the present seasons
growth as upon those which preceded
it. Bark aud young wood In autumn
and winter are laden with stores man
ufactured in the leaves the year be-
fore and stored up for use when re-
quired. Generally speaking, the fruit
buds, too, are formed the year before,
and the management should be such
as will promote the development of
fruit buds at the expense of the leaf
buds. The fruit grower, S o far as he
is able, must check the growth Of II
and develop the other for fruit forma-
ton. But after the fruit is fully
formed it is essential that too much
be not allowed to remain on the tree,
especially if a fine quality of fruit is
desired. Thinning so that no two
specimens touch each other viii aid in
improving fne size, color and flavor Of
the fruit. II il the fruit grown under
these conditions that pays the best
profit, as it sells readily for good

The Transplanting Of Pests.

on record Of foolish attempts to inn

countries animal or insect species not
adapted TO the climate or surround

crank in New England imported one
or two Egyptian moths for his cab

aud the mild climate seeming TO suit
them TO perfection, they grew and
