GUATEMALA TREES.
Do They Maintain Their Superb
ority Over Native Trees?

| Ority Over Native Trees?
MR.. EDITOR:-March %, 1898. our
commissioner, J. AIarsden, has a com
munication in your paper giving advice
to coffee planters which it will be we'll
| for all of us to heed. In said commun-
ication he has propounded question TO
me and no doubt he and others expect
me to answer it. Question. DO the
Guatemala coffee trees maintain their
superiority over the native as the trees
become older?" 1t is too early to salts
factory answer this question. I can
only state a few facts that have de-
veloped in the growing of the two
kind of trees side by side the past four
years.
The oldest Guatemala trees that
have are 400 in number, set in a square
and surrounded on all sides by native
trees of the same age and the two va
rieties have had the same care. The
native tree on three sides of the Guate-
mala, and the Guatemalas are all plan
ted on the eastern side of a hill and
exposed to the wind. The Guatemalas
are duoble the size Of the native trees
growing by their sides on the. east,
north and south and have yielded as
near seven pounds of clean coffee per
tree the past two years, as the natives
under the same treatment have two
pounds. On the west side the native
trees are in a rich valley, and sheltered |
from the winds by the Guatemala trees |
and the hill side of the valley. Until |
this year they have not equalled the
Guatemala in yield of coffe by so per |
cent. This year their yield Of coffee |
promises to equal the Guatemala and |
the threes are equally creditable.
We know approximately what the
native trees would have done had they
been exposed to the wind as the Guate-
malas were; but feel a great desire to
know what would have been the condi-
ton of the Guatemalas had they occu-
pied the rich valley as the natives did,
out of the wake of the wind.
Their heavy bearing, dry weather
and strong wind of last year seemed to
stun all coffee trees so exposed, but
they are recovering.
have not set any native trees since
becoming acquainted with the Guate-
malas for the reason they bore earlier
with me, and apparently without in
juring themselves, besides they grew
more thrifty, handsomer to loog at,
with their smooth, shining, darker
green foliage than the native, which
seemed to show their superiority as
though they were the thoroughbreds
the common coffee.
I don't wish to be understood as re
aecting against creditable yields of the
native tree, as when we'll sheltered,
their yield is all right, but with me
they were one year longer getting at

Statistlcs of the Seal Herd.

From statistics submitted to the
seal conference at Washington, two
features which were regarded as most
important in supporting the American
contention, namely, that the catch had
fallen off about one-half during the
present season, showing conclusively
in the opinion of the American ex-
perts, that the seal herd was being
rapidly wiped out; and, second, that
the catch of seals from the American
islands in Bering Sea was about
fifteen to one as between the Canadian
sealers under the British flag and
American sealers. The same proper
ton was shown to exist throughout
the waters of the northern Pacific.
The figures for this seasons catch,
now made available for the first time,
are as follows: The total catch Of seals
in the north Pacific was 81, 700 against
1900 last year, divided as follows;
Taken by British vessels, 1900; by
American vessels, 400; by japanese
vessels, $500. The catch in Bering
Sea, which is that portion of the
north Pacific in which the United
States is interested, is 16, $50 for the
present season, against 29,500 last
season, a reduction of about oIe-half
OF the catch in Bering Sea British
vessels took $4,000; American ves-
sells, 1850. The figures make no dis
tinction between British and Canadian
vessels, which, however, are nominally
classed as British. The conclusion
arrived at from the years figures is
that the seal herd has been greatly re-
duced by indiscriminate slaughter at
the alarming rate of about one-half in
the last year.-Trenton IN. J.)

Different Fruits on One Tree.

AT Napa, CAL, in the orchards of
the Rev. Richard Wylie, there is
peach tree which produces five diff
ferent kinds of fruit, namely, al
monds, plums and three different
kinds of peaches. This result was
attained by Mr.. Wylie grating on his
peach tree different varieties of stone
fruit. A cherry tree belonging to q
farmer in Herefordshire, England,
yields four different kinds of fruit,
owing to his having grated on the
cherry a pear, an apple and plum.
A Naples orange grower grated a
lemon on one of his trees, and now
gathers from the same tree both
oranges and lemons. The Khatta
orange tree, which grows in Upper
India, produces two different kinds of
nges-first the ordinary smooth
skinned oranges, ripe at the end of
the dry season, and then an after
crop of warted oranges, ripe soon
after the beginning of the rains.

BOOdY Battles.

More lives We're lost in the battle Of
Leipsic than at any other. 1t took
place Oct. 10, 1S and 10, 1913, between
the French and the Austrians, Prus
slams and Russians. The French were
100000 strong, the allies 100000. More
than $4,000 men perished, and the
French were defeated. Such losses
throw into the shade the losses Of the
American war. At Gettysburg $4,000
were killed and wounded; at Chicka-
mauga, $4,000. In the battles OF the
Wilderness 6,7SS men were killed and
at Spottsylvania 6,296. In the final at
tack on Kars, during the Russo-Turk.
ish war of 1S77-S, 5000 men fell. The
losses in the attacks on the Shipka
pass amounted to about 10000 men,
and before Plevna some 10000 men
perished. Marius' victory over the
Cimbri and Teutones at Varcellae, b.
C. 101, is said to have cost the lives of

APPREClATIVE "THANK YOU"
1t Is the Smallest Courtesics That
Make Life Worth Living.

Make Life Worth Living.
"On every hand one hears of the neg.
lect to say thank you,'" writes Ed
ward w. Box on The Saying Of
Thank You,'" in the Ladies' Home
Journal. Il wonder sometimes if some
people really know how little of what
comes to them is their due and right,
and how much of what comes to them
is by favor and courtesy. The vast
majority of things which come to us,
come by pure favor, by courtesy. And
we should recognize this. No act of
kindness, however slight, should go un.
noticed. A thank you is a simple
thing to say; 1t requires but few mo,
ments to write it, but it often means
much; it means everything sometimes
10 the person receiving it. 1t means
renewed faith in human nature in
some cases. A word of thanks Is never
lost, never wasted. If it sometimes
seems to be lost upon the person to
whom it is directed, It's expression has
not been lost upon some one else who
has heard 1t. 1t is certainly not lost
upon ourselves. The most of us are
quick enough to thank some one who
does us great service. But the small
courtesy, just as great as the large ser.
vice In reality, we overlook. 1t doesn't
seem worth while to give thanks for
small things. And yet what would
we be to-day, ana where would some
of us be but for the small courtesies Of
life? They are what make life worth
living.
1t is all very well to have
the last Thursday of each November
set apart as a day of Thanksgiving.
But it would be far better If great
many of us carried the spirit of the day
into all the other days. Perhaps, if we
did so we might have more mercies to
be thankful for on Thanksgiving day.
Do not let the spirit of thanks
stop with nightfall on Thanksgiving
day. Let us extend 1t to all the other
days of the year, TO the people whose
lives touch ours. When we receive o
favor at the hands of any one, no mat.
ter how small it may be, let us say the
words, Thank you If they should be
written let us write them. Let us NOT
delay them, but take advantage of the
instant when our heart is touched. Let
there be more thank yous' said by ev,
rybody-thousands of them. And the
world will be a better, brighter and
happier place to live in because Of
them"

from a good & II iS tn
