PEACH CULTIVATION.

No Reason Why Good Fruit should Not
BE Raised i'm the North.
There seems no good reason why
peaches should not be grown at the
north for family use, at least, if proper
care is exercised. 1t is not the severe
cold of winter that Injuries peach trees
SC much as freezing after the sap has
begun to stir in the tree in the spring.
Some orchardists think heavy mulch
ing retards the flow of the sap and the
starting of the buds and leaves, but il
is doubtful if any great gain is TO be
had in this way, for, while the roots are
thus kept longer in frozen ground, the
trunk and limbs are receiving the
warmth and sunshine, and the sap prob
ably is not greatly retarded. There is a
way, however, that works satisfactorily
even in very cold regions. The roots are
cut on one side of the tree, as seen in

Fig. 1.-THE same side each succeeding
winter-and the tree is gently bent to
the ground. where it is secured as
shown in Fig ?, and light covering of
straw is placed over the whole tree.
This is not disturbed in spring until all
danger from frost is over. This, OF
course, makes the season shorter. but a
peach tree is of rapid development,
and if early sorts are planted there will
be little trouble on the score OF short
season. The experiment is worth try
ing by those fond of peaches, but who
live outside the peach belt. Webb

A CHURCH GIRLS CLUB.

Our much esteemed Rev. DR.. DAVID
I'll. GREER, formerly of Grace Church,
Providence, now of st. Bartholom ew's,
New York, has broken out again.
DIR. GREER's originality and energy
express themselves in wide fields. His
good work is extended comprehensively
as it is uniquely, not to say audaciously.
This time it is a Girls Club that
promises to bring him new fame as a
doctor of practical Christian useful
ness.
Prompt to recognize conditions, ap-
preciative Of everything that is, DIR.
GREER has now grappled with the prob
lem of the development of the twentieth
century woman by organizing among
the young women of st. Bartholomew a
club that shall be school for them-for
the practical teachings of those things to
which generations of experience have
made men take naturally.
This is only one of num-
Der of clubs for young women in
successful operation in the metropolis.
but it is one of the largest of them. 1t

that splendid Parish House, the building
of which has also been a contribution to
the prestige Of DIR. GREER The men,
bership is at the limit under the rules,
and there Is long list of applicants
While associated with the parish over
which the eminent DIR. GREER pres ides,
the st. Bartholomew Girls Club is nom
sectarian aud undenominational. There
is associated with it, also, a junior club.
called the Afternoon Club, for girls
under II years of age, which has
membership of 800, making q
grand total of 900 young women
enlisted in this fine scheme with lots
more anxious to get on the rolls. There
is an initiation fee of % cents and the
monthly dues are the same. Members Of
the club are entitled to the various privi-
leges afforded by the Parish House and
also to membership in the classes which
are taught dressmakipg, millinery, cook
ing, stenography and the like. Matters Of
public interest are discussed at the
meetings OF the club, and debates on
topics Of the day are feature. There is
sick benefit fund and a fund for a
summer outing at the clubs out Of
town headquarters. In connection with
the Girls Club is supported home for
working girls who need assistance and it
is proposed to increase this line of benef-
cent work.

ANTARTIC EXPLORATION.

We are likely to learn more than we
It present know of the mysterious coun-
Try within the Antartic Circle If the ex-
pedtion planned by Dr. FREDERICK A.
Cook proves as fruitful as he hopes.
Antarctic exploration is, popularity,
quite secondary in interest to Arctic ex-
ploration, but since the latter has been
divested of the romance of a North
Pole achievement and north west
passage discovery, and has resolved
itself into the cold Investigations Of
Greenland geography, we may find a
pleasurable interest in Antartic voyag-
ng to which science has already directed
itself, without. however, arousing much
popular curiosity.
The furthest point reached in the
direction of the South Pole was achieved
by Ross, in the early forties, who made
his way as far as rs degrees of
south latitude. Cook voyagel inside
the Antarctic Circle in the eighteenth
century. D'URvnLE and WILDEs visited
there in 1889 and the expedition! Of the
Challenger in 1874 was the most notable
Of recent cruises in TIE region. DIR.
Cook, who was with PEARY on
his first expedition and has
voyaged into the Arctic regions on two
occasions since, once at the head OF the
excursion party which went out on the
ill-fated Miranda, proposes to make a
three years cruise toward the South
Pole, starting from New York in Sep
tember next, using two small wooden
sailing sealers which are thought to be
type Of vessel superior to iron ships for
ice work, while, as the exploration will
be made chiefly by sledges, steam ves-
sci is unnecessary. The party en- voyage
will be small, the number of scientists
to be taken being limited to five includ-
ing the leader of the expedition.
1t will take three months to reach
the frozen land and the real
business of the expedition will be
begun after arrival in the Gulf Of Ere
bus near the sixth-fourth parallel OF lat
itude, and immediately to the south Of
Cape Horn.
DR.. Cook has no dreams about what
he expects to find in the Antartic region.
Geographically, his explorations, If
successfully pursued, will be Of
great value, and in other
ways science will benefit. The
Antarctic continent is estimated to
comprise 100000 square miles, one
sixth of the entire surface of the globe,
and while, so far as is now known, ice
bergs, glaciers, seals, whales and pen
gums are its only characteristics, it is
evidently worth the while OF investiga-
ting. There may be mines of gold
there aud there may be human beings
living there. Neither supposition is
improbable. The cold land is of vol
canic origin and there is food and raj
ment to be had from the seas.
