GOD AMONG ORCHARDS.

Rev. DIR. Talmage on the Pomology o
the Bible.
TEXT: "The fruit tree Welding fruit
after its kind. ."-Genesis L., 9.
Beginning with the Garden of Eden as
the first spontaneous, magnificent orchard.
and the expulsion from it of the first pair
because they tasted of the forbidden frnit
of the tree of knowledge, DIR. Talmage
continued:
This story OF Eden is rejected by some as
an improbability, If not an impossibility.

believe than the truth of this Edenic story

there is just one sin that will turn you out

How the Finger Nails Grow.

The nails of two fingers never grow
with the same degree of rapidity.
The nail of the middle finger grows
with the greatest rapidity, and that of
the thumb the least. It has been
computed that the average growth of
the finger nail is one thirty second of
an inch per week, or little more than
an inch and half per year. The
growth, however, depends to a great
extent upon the rate of nutrition, and
during periods of sickness it is re-
tarded.
Authorities differ with regard to the
equality of growth on both hands,
some holding that the nails of the
right hand grow faster than those of
the left, but others can perceive no
difference between them. According
to the rate of growth stated, the aver
age time taken for each finger nail to
grow its full length is about four and
half months, and at this rate wom-
an of seventy would have renewed her
finger nail one hundred and eighty-six
times.

made over lining that fits the figure
snugly at the front, the backs of which

yoke portions of surah striped with
narrow black velvet are faced onto the

with double row of velvet ribbon
applied in points. At the waist is a

twelve years will require three and
three-fourths yards of forty-four-inch

The Walking Fish.

Recently very remarkable fish have
been captured in this country, found
many thousands of miles from their
native seas.
One was caught on the Pacific coast
the other day near Betterton. @. O..
Warner, of Philadelphia, caught the
curiosity which turned out to be a
native of the Indian Ocean, and which
is known the world over as the walk
ing fish, 80 called because it really
does have feet which it uses as mode
of locomotion. As a matter of fact,
the walking fish is ghoulish-appear-
ing thing, for the little claw legs which
are seen, two on each side of the crea-
ture, are decidedly uncanny.

Pasteur's Foreetfulness.

The late DR.. Pasteur was as absent
minded as Edison. Even on the morn
ing of his marriage he forgot oil about
the approaching ceremony and went

no Pasteur turned up. A search was
instituted and Pasteur was found deep

oblivious of the fact that he was to be
made benedict that dcy.--Philadel-

Progressing Favorably There.
RobeN b. Porter. special commissioner
for the unitel States in Cuba and Porto
Rico has returned from Santiago de Cusa,
and has submitted his report to the secre-
tasy of the treasury. While in Porto Rico
Mr.. Porter held public hearings, and all
persons interested in the welfare of the
island were invited to submit statements
and give oral testimony. The chamber of
commerce, representing the commercial
and industrial interests Of the province, re-
sponded. The machinery of the military
government, Mr.. Porter says, is running
with a fair degree of smOOthness. and men
responsible for it understand their business
thoroughly.
Mr.. Porter details at considerable length
the vigorous methods adopted to bring
about a reformation in the sanitary condi-
tons of the city of Santiago.
The law courts which were abolished
when Gen. Shaftcr took the city have hpen
r%corganizcd. The Judges appointed are
men Of good character. and are %cminemtly
qualified for the positions. The internal.
industrial. professional licensing and other
miscellaneous taxes have so far been re-
mitted i'll this part of Cuba, but the author
tiles are now preparing to enforce them.
Now that the customs tariff has been dis
posed of MIR. Porter recommends that AN
immediate scheme he prepared for the levy
ing and collecting of internal revenue for
the entire island. The question OF sepa-
rating these taxes from purely municipal
| taxes should also be considered.
The large amount of delinquent taxes
during the last three years, which have
amounted to abomt $b,OOO,0NN, was, of
course, due to war. In normal times there
arc 81, OOO,O 900 or 49, OO, 900 of revenue that
must not he overlooked, revenue which.
if properly and economically employed.
would aid in the Industrial rehabilitation of
Cuba. Some of the more Omcr0us cX;c-
tions. however, should be abolished.
Mr.. Porter makes several other recon-
mendations, principally with regard to inn
proyemcnts of harbors and location of
hnoys, etc.
He speaks in high praise of the admin
istrative ability of Gen. Wood, the mill
tary governor of Santiago, as shown in his
admirable management of the affairs of
the province under his jurisdiction.

Directs a Verdict for Scott.

In the circuit court at Sioux Falls the
case of Mark ID. Scott VS.. the Continental
Insurance Company was decided in favor
of the defendant. after the jury had been
out six hours. Ina similar ease wherein
Scott sued the Fire Association of Phila-
delphia, a verdict was directed by Judge
Jones in favor Of the plaintiff. There
are fourteen other cases against insurance
companies in which Scott appears as
plaintiff. These cases are the outgrowth
of the Kipp-Lee controversy about a year
ago, at which time Kipp, while acting as
insurance commissioner, wa discharged
from Office by Gov. Lee. kipp, after his
removal from Office, refused to vacate, and
distributed a large quantity of insurance
statements for publication, Scott securing
the bulk of them. When the supreme court
decided in favor of the governor, SUSTAIN
ing him in his removal of Kipp, some of
the insurance companies refused to pay for
the statements which Scott had printed. 1t
is understood that the cases will he APP
