Although the English government
heeps strict surveillance over its sub
jects in India. IL does not seem able to
stop the wholesale poisonings going on
among the natives there every year,
says the Pittsburgh Dispatch. It
seems innate In tho native Hindu to
poison If he desires to get rid of some
one who is In his way. The poison,
which the natives use produce about
the same symptoms as the poison OF q
snake. The victim dies suddenly and
is cremated within nm hour or two
after death, SO there I'm no opportunity
of investigating the cause The
poisoner, to further deceive, usually
makes cut In the leg or arm with a
knife, such as the fangs of the snake
would make, SO that 1t Is difficult to
distinguish victim of the snake from
the victim of the poisoner. There are
thousands of deaths put on the gov

attributed to the bites of snakes. I'll
venture to say that but a small per
centage of these are from that cause
In travelling through India it is rarely

still kicked on eating, so we put him

him for two weeks more. When wa

The Care Of Orchards.

The only way to keep up an orchard
Is to plant some trees every year Most
people neglect this. and when they do
plant the trees they set them too close
together, SO that the roots intertwine
and fruit production is checked. Ap-
pie trees should be set NJ least thirty
feet apart each way. It is mistake to
imagine an orchard will take care OF IT.
self Trees require the attention OF
the owner just as well as stock or farm
crops, and neglect will be repaid in the
same fashion. IL you are not willing
to give proper care, 1t Is better to cut
the trees down and plow up the land.
Il is useless to expect to get something
for nothing.

To Make Trees Symmetrical

Some of our contemporaries devote
attention to protecting trees in lean
ing position, attaching much adyan-
tage TO this position. Labor is required
in providing one or more stakes to each
single tree, in giving them a firm posi-
tion, and in preventing the chafing OF
the bark by the wiz d. All this seems
to Inc necessary when trees with large
tops and small roots are planted. Near
ly all this is easily prevented by taking
up widc-spreading roots and In cutting
off portions OF the head. SO as to make
them light in weight and symmetrical

KOREA AND THE KOREANS.

About an Interesting People.

About an Interesting People.
Rev. Graham Lee is Presbyterian
missionary of Rock Island, Ill, who
has been working in the Korean field
at Seoul for the last year, according to
the San Francisco Call. He says:
"The Koreans are an amiable people,
and a man can travel all over their
country without being molested or Ill
treated. Sometimes, of course, one
will meet a man who is rather uncivil,
but generally they are disposed to treat
us kindly. Like all other oriental
people. they are immoral. and Seoul Is
no exception among the cities OF tho
east It is filthy city. too.
"Thc people are not at all progressive.
There were some progressive Koreans
who tried to have a postal system ana
mint to coin money few years ago.
but the innovations lasted only tWen-
tv-four hours; the people rose in re-
volt. Whv did they oppose the post
Office and mint? Wen, you know tne
orientals are never taught to think. In
their schools all the pupils do Is to 60
over mechanically list OF characters
before them until they commit them
to memory. That's why it Is so hard
20 teach them mathematics. so that
