Prof. Waite, of the department Of
agriculture, has recently given much
attention to the subject of intermin.
Cling fruit trees in orchards He tells
OF pear orchard in Virginia of Bart
let's mixed with other sorts which has
become famous for bearing. A stock
company was led by the success of this
orchard to plant 10000 Bartletts on
similar soil near by. In one corner of
the great orchard stood . tree of
Clapps' Favorite. Around this tree
the Bartletts bore fine crops Along
one side of the orchard also stood now
and then tree of another sort.
Along this side the influence of
cross fertilization has also been
noted. Prof. Waite covered .
large number of blossoms of the Bart
lett pear with mosquito bar and in no

Why. simply grin and bear IL"

When friends forsake. and foes increase,

Twill help-Just grin and bear It"
When woes come thick and still more thick,
Disasters gathering daily;
When hope deferred the heart makes sick,
While round you. jesting gayly,
The world knows not how sad your soul,
Dreams not what griefs do tearit,
Keep over self calm control,
And bravely grin and bear IT.
All. meath these homely words there lie
Vast mines Of deepest meaning;
Whole tones OF sound philosophy
Well worth most careful cleaning:
Yet not mere stoic's lore urge
Forever forswear it
Let earth's and heavens best wisdom merge
Trust God. then grin and bear it,

Toward the end OF September he re-

He heard no more from Clcmentine.

where for six months Tony Robec had
occupied a room, everyone thought thai
he was widower. He could not have
