M AUD CRoSSLEY, 5

The war against the nickle-ln-the
slot machines in New York is get
ting vigorous, and Superintendent
Byrens has ordered their removal
throughout his Jurisdiction. The
anti-gamblers cite as evidence of
the extent of their pernicious in
fluence the fact that six firms have
already gone into the manufacture
of the machine, and the profits of
one of these firms have been stated
by an agent of the concern to be
$500 day. Several banks have re-
fused the deposits of some of these
firms, and in most instances it is
said the reason for doing so was be-
cause the business of the applicants
was not considered to be of a char
acter justifying the banks accepting
the accounts. The machines are
either sold to saloon keepers out
right or rented for an equal division
of the profits. The proprietors OF
several places where the machines
are being run have told a repre-
sentative of the New York Mail
DC Eapress that the $50 paid for the
machine was made up out OF the
profits of the first two days running
it. The Nail ec ErpresS says they
are q clear violation of the sections
of the penal code defining gambling.
In Brooklyn and Buffalo the city
authorities have already banished
them.

Albany (Ga) Herald.
Yes, the Herald pleads guilty to not
printing all the local news, and to
taking no notice Of some things that
a certain class would delight to have
served to them in rue sensational
style. But neither fear nor affection
cuts any figure when it comes to the
suppression of anything in these col
umns. Some things that occur in
Albany, as well as in every other
town or city, are not fit to be prFnted
in clean paper that goes into the
best families OF the community and
is read by the modest young girls and
women. And so, too, with many
cases that are tried In the city and
county courts. TO report them fairly
and truthfully would be an offense to
any respectable family into which the
paper is received. Then, too, we are
sometimes influenced by the appeals
Of u loving mother, wife or sister

human sympathy for such as these
refrain from giving publicity to the

Orange Trees With Low Tors.

1t is stated in Meehans Monthly
that a reccnta traveller in China and
Japan notices that in those countries
the orange trees are not grown as we
grow them in our country, by train
ing them up to good stems and allow
ing them to have large and bushy
heads, but are suffered to grow low,
crooked and stumpy-llke, more like
bushes than as trees such as ours
present. The traveller states that the
reason given for this by the Asiatic
cultiyat0rs was that it was much
more easy in this way to gather the
fruit, and for that reason 1t was the
cheaper and more economical plan to
train the trees so than in the form Of
trees as our orange cultivators do;
but this could scarcely be the reason,
as the labor in those countries is so
excessively low that the extra cost of
a ladder and baskets to gather them
could scarcely be an item In the cal
culatlon.
We have recently come across some
account OF an experiment by an
orange cultivat0r of California, who
allowed some Of his trees to grow low
and bushy, aud had alongside other
trees trained up as II they were apple
trees in the ordinary manner Of an
orange grove, and to his amazement
ne finds that these unpruned trees,
suffered to grow in this way, are
more than doubly as productive "a
the others.
II Is more than likely. therefore,
/ t:.at 1t was this productive character
rather than the saving Of labor that
