The Mortgage.

A mortgage makes man rustic
and it keeps him poor. An exchange
remarks that it is strong incentive
to action, and wholesale reminder of
the fleeting months and years. 1t is
fully as symbolical in it's meaning as
the hour glass and scythe that mean
death. A mortgage represents indus
try because it is never idle, night or
day. 1t is like a bosom friend, be-.
cause the greater the adversely the
closer in sticks to fellow. 1t is like a
brave soldier, for it never hesitates at
charges, nor fears to close in on the
enemy. 1t is like the sand.bag Of the
thug silent in application, but dead.
ly in effect. It is like the hand Of
providence--it spreads all over crea-
ton, and it's influence is everywhere
visible. 1t is like the grasp Of the
devil-fish. longer it holds the
greater it's strength. 1t will exercise
feeble energies, and lend activity to a
sluggish brain; but no matter how
debtors work, the mortgage works
harder still. A mortgage is a good
thing to have in the family provided
always, it is in somebody else's
family.

10 Trenmor Coffin: A mortgage on
San Francisco property valued at
$4,000.
70 his wife, Mary Heney: Two

TREE WITH A HANGING RECORD.

Furnished the Gallows for Ten Men In
Week.
Down in our town we have an old
tree that has quite history" said
John T. Hale. of Seymour, Ind, to a
Chicago Inter Ocean man recently. "At
least 1t used to be u tree, but the relic
hunters have SO disfgured it that it can
scarcely lay claim u that name now.
1t was of the birch variety, and has a
history that is equaled by but few other
trees in the world. Upon it's spreading
limbs dangled the forms of ten men in
less than a week. That tree aided in
it's feeble way in wiping out one of the
worst gangs of law-breakers that Sec
ton has ever had. The tree is only a
short distance from the city, and the
place to this day bears the name of
'Hangman's Cross Roads,
This tree became famous early in
the COS, when the country round about
Seymour was infested with gang of
bold highwaymen, who did not hest
tate to murder a man to obtain his
| money if necessary. The first murder
was that of man by the name Of
Woodmansee in the old RAIDER hotel.
He had some twenty-seven hundred
dollars on his person. His body was
carried from the hotel, and an effort
made to wash away all trace of the
crime. The murderer of this man was
never convicted.
Several murders followed, always
committed with the object of robbery.
AT last this grew too commonplace and
the gang sought bigger game One

about five miles. 1t is estimated that
| at least four hundred thousand dollars
were taken. All evidence tended to
| proveth that the robbery was committed
by what was afterward known as the
Reno gang who lived at Seymour and
operated all the way from Omaha to
| Cincinnati. The gang consisted of ten
| persons. The express train robbery
was too much for the better element of
| Seymour and a vigilance committee
was organized, and one night in July,
1868, this company, all masked, took
| Roseberry, Clifton and Elliott, three of
the Reno gang, from custody and
hanged them to this birch tree. On
the following Monday Gerald, Sparks
and Moore, three more. were treated in
a similar manner on this same tree.
The following Tuesday this vigilance
committee visited the Jail at New Al
bany, where four more of the Reno
gang were confined, and by morning
Frank Reno, Simeon Reno and a man
by the name Of Anderson were dangling
from the same old beech tree. This
wiped out the Reno gang That old
tree is a landmark at Seymour, and it
has been badly disfgured by relic

are to the effect that the entire orange
crop has been damaged by the cold wave
that visited that section. Conservative
estimates placed the loss at about 60 per

the present time, owing to the recent
damage to the crop in Florida. Valencia
oranges have advanced fully So case.

weather was very severei in Valencia, and
that the mercury registered about 10
degrees above zero.

FRUIT AND VEGETABLE EvAPORA-
TION.

Florida truckers rarely complain of
the price secured for early vegeta bles
sent into the market. By early veg
erables we mean those sent in ahead of
the products of other vegetable produc
ing centers of the South. AS general
thing, when the season is propitious the
Florida trucker can get his produce in
the North many weeks ahead of others;
still there are times when the maturing
of the crop is retarded. and he is COM
PEELED to compete with the vegetable
grower elsewhere. The result of this
is obvious: supply and demand regulat-
ing prices with vegeta bles as with every
thing else, the market value of his
truck is reduced and his profits are min
imized.
Then there is always surplus left in
the fields which goes to waste. AS soon
as the markets are we'll stocked, the
Florida grower finds it Improbable to
continue shipments on account of the
heavy transportation charges.
The point he should study is how to

THOSE DEAD TREES.

Some one from "Orange Belt,' Flor
ida, writes a California paper that all
the orange trees of Florida are dead
that the freeze killed them. This COM
munication was written about two weeks
after the freeze, and the writer should
have known better.
Certainly the statement of the Orange
Belt writer that the trees are dead will
have no effect on the trees. 1t will mel
ther kill the live ones nor bring the dead
ones to life. We do not know that the
statement will do any special harm to
anyone or ANYTHING, unless, perhaps, if
it gets widely circulated. it might defer
S me from coming to the State to settle;
but we doubt if it will. People have so
often heard that the orange trees of
Florida have been frozen down, and the
very next year seen thousands of boxes
Of the finest fruit shipped from the State
that they now take cum grano sails all
reports about dead orange trees in Flor
ida.
The mystery is, why did the Orange
Belt man do it? What was he driving
at, and what was his object? If he is
still alive we would like to hear from
him.

Save this product of his field when it
will no longer pay to market it in it's
green state. A lesson might be drawn
from the experience and operations of
California gardeners and fruit growers.
These people being remote from the CEN
ters of consumption and hampered by
heavy transportation rates, (and who,
doubtless, have also had acquaintance
with the disastrous glutted markets)
found at least partial solution of the
problem in the evaporation and the can
ming factory. The evaporated fruit in.
dustry of California amounts to many
try-in fact it is the greatest industry of
that state, and one statistician asserts
it amounts to more annually than all
others combined.
the evaporating process green fruit,
such as pears, peaches, berries, etc., etc.,
and, in fact, nearly all products of
similar character can, in few hours, be
placed in condition to keep for an in
definite time. and the profit from the
produce in this condition exceeds that of
the fruit when sold in it's natural
condition, and there is always a ready
market.
The products of the orchards and gar
dens that are not suitable for evaporat-
ing can be safely canned, and what is
true of the profit from evaporated fruit
is also true of canned vegetables and
fruit.
We have repeatedly published details
of the expense of esta blishing small CAN
ming factories. They may be installed
on the neighborhood central plan at
small outlay to individuals. Evapora-
tors can be purchased in the markets at
from $75 to $500.

trees that had budded out since the December
freeze and were not still dormant must have
been seriously affected. Whether this injury will
affect only the crop of the coming season, or will
extend further, time only will tell. Trees that
were still dormant and not full of sap have prob.
ably escaped with little injury.

performed at night. If light is con-
tinuous, they simply grow more or less
continuously, as conditions require, as
thew do in the long days of the arctic
regions, or as our plants did under con-
tinuous light. There is no such thing
as plant becoming worn out or tired
out because of the stimulating influence
of continuous light.
1t would seem, therefore, that if the
electric light enables plants to assimi-
late during the night, and does not in
plants of great size and marked precoc-
ity. But there are other conditions,
not yet understood, which must be
studied. Our radish plants, and many
others were earlier, but smaller under
the influence of the light. Observation
and chemical eXamin alton showed that
greater degree of maturity had been
attained. Perhaps they had assimi'a'ed
too rapidly, perhaps the functions of the
plant had been completed before it hal
time to make it's accustomed growth.
Perhaps the highly refranglble and in
visible rays from the electric lamp has
something to do with it In fact, this
latter presumption proba bly, accounts
for much, if not all of the injury result
ing from the use of the naked light, for
the effect of the interposition of clear
pane of glass is probably to absorb or
obstruct these rays of high refrangibil
ity. Good results which follow the use
of globe or pane of glass show on the
other hand, that the injury to plants can
not result from any gases arising rom
the lamp itself, as has been supposed by
some observers. In our experiments,
particularly with the Brush lamp, there
was no perceptible odor from the gases
of combustion; and it may also be said
that commercial forcing houses, like
our own, are not tight enough to hold
sufficient quantities of these gases TO in
lure plants.
1t is highly probable that there are
certain times in the life of the plant
when the electric light will prove to be
particularly helpful. Many experiments
show that injury follows it's use at that
critical time when the plantiet is losing
it's support from the seed and is begin
ming to shift for itself, and other expert
ments show that good results follow it's
later use. This latter point appears to
be contradicted by Deherain's results,
but his experiments were not conducted
under the best normal conditions.
On the whole, am inclined toward
Siemens' view that there is future for
electro horticulture.
