The Genesee Valley Forest association
offered prizes last year to school chill
dren Tor the gathering Of the cocoous OF
destructive insects. The three scholars
gathering the largest number were to
receive So each the three gathering the
next largest So each and the three gath
ering the third largest 81 each. Then a
prize Of $40 was offered to any scholar
who would beat last year S record of
A, 900 This was the offer that is now
embarrassing the society. Instead Of a
single boy coming up to the SO mark,
scores have brought in their 80, 900 OF
more coeoons, and there is danger that
the aggregate Of prizes earned will 20
up into the thousands. The society
wishes it understood that it intended
only one $40 prize, but certainly any
boy who has the industry to gather 90,
600 cocoons deserves to be generously
rewarded Tho association admits It's
error and viii try to arrange satigfac-
tory settlement with the boys Aud
what they have done will save thou
sands Of dollars TO their section Of the

Quinces, like forestt trees, need but lit
tie training During the first two years
remove branches that are likely to in
terfero or cross, for all branches then
will be main branches in time and
will seriously interfere if allowed TO
cross Or touch each other After that the
trees will nearly take care Of them
selves, as far as training is concerned
Let them head now and remain SO, for
ounces are of a dwarf habit If the
head is formed within Il foot of the
ground, it will not be too low. Tho best
tool for cultiyating is a disk or cutaWay
harrow. These tools reach beyond the
team and under the branches of the
trees, thus stirring the soil and keeping
down the weeds under tho trees a pillow
is not very satisfactory. 1t cannot be
used under the trees without danger Of
barking them. 1t does not leave the
ground level and must be followed by
some other tools to smooth down the

not throw dirt enough to form aridgc at

Thecelebrated inventor Of the Maxim
gum, one Of the most formidable Of
modern weapons, is hard at work, as he
has been for long time, upon the old
problem Of aerial navigation. In one inn
poTtant respect Maxim is working On
different and less difaeult lines than
those which other inventors have tried
to follow. They have aimed at the de-
wishing Of flying machines which could
be operated at cost not too great to ad-
nit Of their use in the ordinary bust
ness affairs of life. The inventor Of the
Maxim gun, however, is very appropri
ately working, primarily, to produce a
machine which can be used in warfare,
For this purpose it is not at all noces-
saTy that the expense Of air navigation
should be low enough to bring itwithin
reach of commerce or travel. What he
Is aiming at is the crea2im Of q new
and terrible engine Of war, and every
body knows that the great powers Of
Europe take little account of cost when
they are dealing with the ornaments
which they regard as essential TO their
very existence
/ If flying machine or airshtp can
be invented which will be efficient il
ordinary weather and will enable the
/ power possessing it TO attack the for,
tresses and camps Of its enemies from
above, there will DO q mad rush to oh.
tain plenty Of the new engines of de
struetiOn, no matter how much they
may cost to bnild and operate Thepic
ture Of wholesale destruction which j
held up before the military mind wheI
an inventor talks Of pouring dynamit,
shells down upon q beleaguered fortres
from great height and thus blow /
into atoms, without risk or possible De
Tense, is too attractive to permit none,
to stand in the way at all Perhaps w
shallzsee that wonderful dream of tn
poet como true which is told in tn
lines:
Hear the heavens oil with shouting, and Their
Fained a CHASTITY dew

A sojourner in the British metropolis
says in q recent letter. Treason has been
in the English air this week. The Jac-
obite club, the members Of which deny
Queen Victoria g right tosit on the Brit
ish throne, has been celebrating the am
niversary of the escape of that crowned
debauchee, Charles II, from his encuies
and tOastinE the house of Stuart and
confusion to the usuTpeT. A sort of con
ference of traitors was held at Holywell,
Huntingdonshire The delegates gath
cred in the parlur Of an ancient inn, ate
and drank heartily and cheered num-
Der Of sediti0us kilograms from branches
unable to raise sufficient cash to send
delegates. The members had hoped that
the government telegraph department
would have refused to accept tho distoyal
dispatches and they had prepared a
stinging manifesto denouncing the ty-
ranniCal usurpers, but the prOsaiC gov
eminent calmly took their shillinEs
and forwarded their kilograms with no
more fuss than would have been caused
by the handing in Of messages respect
ing the price Of pork. There was some
bitterness, therefore, in the festive cup,
but the delegates finally eased their feel
ings by drinking, with three times three

1t should be explained that the lady
SO honored is a stout, elderly Bavarian

faith, should now be wearing the Brit

T. c. Bell, secretary Of tho Thames

the statement that the members of the
league are i'll tho habit Of sticking
stamps upside down on their letters III
! order to show their contempt for the
reigning usurper. Mir. Bell admits, how
ever, that there was h member Of the
order Of the White Rose whose intellect

made such a suggestion at meeting Of

Sioux Braves Show Their Progress In Civil

Recent events prove that the Sioux
Indians arc rapidly becoming civilized

number Of Sioux have committed the
crime of self destruction. III the matter
Of quarreling and fighting about land
some Of the Sioux are also becoming apt
pupils Of quarrelsome white farmers.
The last murder reported from the
Sioux reservation was caused by 4 dis
putc over a piece of Land. An Indian
named Eagle Louise had taken q furn
under the seyeralty act Tho land WAS
better than the average and many other
Indians thought they wanted it. The
owner was compelled i'll order to main
tain possession to assert his rights by d
show Of arms The most persistent
claimant of the land WAS another Sioux
named Thunder Hawk To discourage
the owner as much IL possible and ron
