Weapons Carried by Foreign Miners.


In The Century there are several pa
pers devoted to the Pennsylvania coal
regions. Henry Edward Rood writes of
ga Pelyglot Community He says
concerning the foreign miners:
The first purchase made by Slovak or
Polack is revolver, by Italian or Sicll-
ian stiletto; then the newcomer buys
a silver watch, and after that is secured
he begins to save money. If the Slovak
or Polack is particularly thrifty, be
postpones purchasing a revolver for sew
eral months and carries in one pocket
a round, hard stone, large enough to
crush mans skull, and in another a
piece of iron filched from the colliery
scrap heap. The Italian or Sicllian too
poor or too penurious to afford stiletto
buys, begs or steals q long file and sits
down in his shanty or by the roadside.
with two or three stones, and grinds it
to a keen edge and a needlelile point.
Then he fastens the blunt end in corn
cob and Las ready for use a weapon of
no mean possibilities Once armed, how
ever, aud provided with watch, tbs
foreigner manages to live at total ex-
pense of about $6 month-and this
may be regarded as liberal estimate in
most instances. The remainder of his
wages is saved toward the purchase of
a vineyard or farm in the old country,
whittier almost all expect to return and
spend their lives.

Trees For the Highways.
What varieties Of trees are most suit
able for American highways? E. P.
Powell differs here from many planters
by urging the claims Of the linden above
that of the elm. He says in Farm and
Fireside: Wherever the linden thrives
would plant it because it is a thor
oughly healthy tree, a superb bee feeder,
most beautiful in blossom, superb IN
shade, and it is not likely to be cut
down by those who will sacrifice tree
for few cords of wood. In many Sec
tions the elm has a claim hardly sur
passed by any. 1t is hardy, endures neg
lect and spreads its shade over vast
space. Probably the oaks deserve to be
ranked next to these, while the ash and
the hickory come close after. Of course,
the hard maple should stand in high IA
yor if it can be grown successfully.
The use of nut trees and fruit trees
can be commended for very many local
tiles. can point you to towns where
the sweet cherries and apples grow with
abundant crops alcng tie highway, and
the bulk OF the fruit does not always
fall to the tramp or traveller. The stree'
must be considered as a whole. The
planting should so with the improve
ment Of the roadbed and drainage.
Where the stock law is thoroughly en-
forced it is not necessary to adhere to
the old custom of formal rows Of trees.
The rule should be to plant our lawn
down to the driveway with trees and
shrubbery, so that "a parl;like aspect may
be presented throughout the whole
country.
