 elares she has always found herself good company. She is a cheerful, pretty and sturdy widow of about 30 years of age. She was born ill Canada, of French parents.
 You will not be there six weeks be- her friends.
 No, no, no. That would upset all my plans I will come back single and with plenty of gold, ]" she answered.
 Mrs. Riedeselle's plans are to extend her possessions near Griswold, Conn. She has farm there, which, with her own hands, she has made into yerita- ble garden spot For six years she has maintained the farm, avoiding expense by tilling the soil herself and building her own fences. During the winter months she has employed her time as professional nurse. Just before the train started from New York she said: ! You see, my baggage is small. am taking no food with me and very little clothing. I have two revolvers and the large rubber boots which I wore on the farm. My friends have told me that can get everything in Alaska. will buy furs and blankets. I will not want for money. have saved up plenty of that. 1 believe that am eminently fit ted for an explorer. My experience has taught mo how to take care of myself and am in the pink of health. No, will not take my bicycle. When I get to Dawson City, I may purchase one, but those who go looking for gold can not give much attention to the wheel. ,"
 Mrs. Riedeselle was attired in black cloth gown which fitted her. A jacket and small alpine hat completed cos tune which looked hardly heavy enough to do rough service in the Klondike.- New York Journal.

NO MORE THORNS.
The Perfection to Which Fruits and Flow
 CTS Are Developing.

The Perfection to Which Fruits and Flow.
 CTS Are Developing.
 The limit of improvement is not found in producing fruits of great size, beauty and sweetness. There are other desirable qualities that the horticultur- lst Is anxious to obtain, and toward this end he is devoting his energies. One of the most noticeable trends of the science of fruit culture is toward the elimination ef undesirable organs. The thorns of soJae of the citrus fruit trees and the prickles of such small berry bushes as the gooseberry, blackberry and raspberry are protuberances that have outlived their usefulness and are highly unpleasant. They not only pune uure the ripening fruits, but they often make harvesting exceedingly inconven- ient Gardeners have long wished to do away with these thorns and priekles, but it is only comparatively recently that systematic efforts have been made to eliminate them
 The thorns are conspicuous organs of our cultivated plants that have ceased to be of any value, for their original purpose of protecting the plants from animals has no force today in the gar dens and fields They should have been exterminated long ago Through the careful selection of plants that happen to be thornless. stocks are obtained for & new race of thornless plants.
