Fruit Raising In San Juan County.

To the Editor: Mr.. Gould's excellent
paper on the subject of Farming and
Fruit Raising on the San Juan Islands"
read before the immigration conven-
ton at Seattle, is much appreciated
here, but his statement that San Juan
is the largest of the islands in this
county is incorrect, Orcas being the
largest island Ill the county by two
square miles. And, by the way, Orcas
is the banner island for fruit growing.
There will be from eight to twelve
thousand boxes of apples shipped from
Orcas this year.
The finest Rhode Island Greetings,
Baldwins and Gravensteins, for ap-
pearance, flavor and keeping qualities,
grown anywhere west Of Northern
New York and Michigan, were the first
crop apples grown the past season by
Messrs. N. Matson and T. b. Olson,
under the shelter of spur of Mount
Constitution, on Mountain lake, LOCO
feet above tide water, on Orcas island.

roLIoEMEN avn aIoYCAEs
Wilmington Held Up MS n Model bya Ches



ter Newspaper.
Chester Republican.
In all the progressive municipalities
the bicycle has been introduced as an
essential adjunct in increasing the
efficiency of the police department.
Particularly is the flying wheel used
in the outlying districts, where the
beats are long and the residences far
apart, and where celebrity of movement
is often imperatively required in effect
ing arrests or in responding TO the call
of the public. The bicycle, moreover,
is healthful, and the peddling neces-
sary to keep it in motion will ofton
counteract tt at tendency to grow stout,
which il is alleged is one of the pc.
culiarities of a policeman's life. 1t is
not, however, from a hygenic stand
point that We suggest to the authori-
ties tho introduction of the bike among
the force.
The city Of Wilmington has already
introduced the bicycle IN its police de-
partment, and its use there has proved
of much advantage. In several in
stances recently tho roundsmen
mounted ON these wheels have over
taken and arrested burglafs who were
fleeing with their plundor, the pur-
suing policeman being able to out
speed the horses driven by the thieves.
| The distance which must necessarily
be assigned to the patrolman in the
| outskirts is more than it is reasonable
to demand man TO cover frequently
on foot, while with a bicycle he could
patrol his beat as often as it is done in
the built up section of our city.
The cost of these wheels has beer
reduced to such figures that the out.
lay to tho city would be very triflinl
and their introduction would add SC
materially TO the efficiency of oul
roundsmen in the sparsely poopled dis
tricts that the cost would not be con
sideration when weighed with tho
benefits that would result We MAKE
the suggestion that the committee OF
police may give it that consideration
to which it is entitled. OF course thii
proposition would apply to only por
iion and not to the entire police force
| of our city.

Girl Grnduates' Essays.

Writing of "Girs and Literary

journal, Edward W. Box directs
serious attention to tho literary
features of girls schools commence.
ment exercises, especially the subjects
for essays chosen for or by graduating
students, which ho holds, Ii very many
instances are entirely inappropriate.
Mr.. Box writes that when the
parents and friends of the graduates
assemble TO see the honors of the
school year coming to their girls it is
only natural that they should wish to
get some assurance that the money
devoted and tho time given to their
education shall not have been for
naught. But do not think that these
parents take the slightest pleasure in
seeing their daughters wrestle with
the topics given them for their essays
topics that arc nearly always far be
yond tho ken or conception Of girlhood.
took the pains last June to carefully
follow the reports of commencements
in different parts of our country, and
the mistaken topics discussed in
graduating essays were something re-
markable. - Among the topics referred
TO he cites "a History Of Ciyiliza
tion, Republic versus Monarchy" !"
"Trades' Unions and Monopoly for
Labor, - ''The Negro and His Right
to Vote" and others quite AZ inappro-
pirate for girls to write upon. Mr..
Bok contends that ''there are plenty
of topics to be found in the realms of
history, art, astronomy, literature or
music, which, il commencement ESSAYS
are deemed necessary and, TO my
mind, they are not-can be far more
wisely or acceptably discussed than
those referred to. u a But why
have commencement essays at allY For
the most part they bore the girls who
read them, too, fancy. In several of

grammes for last year lie before me, |
notice that the traditional essays are
omitted, and simply general exercises
were followed; or an address by a
prominent educator WAS given. The

Ruth Ashmore contributes helpful
and practical paper on "ls Charity
Worth While?'' to May Ladies' Home
journal, thus summarizing her dis.
course: But, after all, what We want
to do, you and |, is tu fill our lives
with charity so that to whumever there
may come need we can give help. Tho
help may express itself in material
things; il may he in the sympathy of
kindly words, or ii may DO spoken only
by the pressure of the hand. There
is no charity ~ having your name on
the list of generous giyers wnllc some
one near to you stays within doors be-
cause her coat ie shabby, or because
hnr clothing is not sufficiently warm.
There is no charity in the giving Of
much money if you have been harsh
and cruel to some onc who deserved
your consideration, and hHyn mado
that une hcart feel thai there is nrthing
III tho world but bitterness There is
no charity in your hoIpg willing To
write chccl;8 that represent much
money wllen you are quick to speak
tlle unkind word, or to show 10 those
who are around you a heart eaten up by
pride. and lips than utter no words save
those Of scorn. AL tho gold in tho
world will count as nothing unlcsa your
charity is lke that which was taught
TO the vor!d nearly 1000 years ago. 1t
meant that TO feed the hungry, take
care Of the sick, to forgive the sinner,
and to help, always in the best way,
whoever asks for help was Christ's
charity, That is tho chnrity, luy friend,
that you and | want ~ try to initiate.
Begin by being charitable with your
lips, by being charitable in your
thoughts and acts And if, Of your
little store there can only he offered a
few pence, you mGY be certain that
they will be reclSoned by God Himself
as greater than tho many millions given
by thosp who are so unwise as to think
that charity means only the giving of
