harvest twenty years ago was valued
at over 100000. Last year it vas
three times that much. The reve-
nue. from the national roads of Sax
Ony, planted with fruit trees, has
been $4,000 in fourteen years. In
Belgium in 1894, 74I,57I fruit trees
were planted along the public high
ways, which furnished 100000
worth of fruit estimated at S6o,-
900, 900. In Southern France many
of the roads have cherry trees; in
Touraine plum trees predominant.
In other regions the walnut and the
chestnut are planted, while in Nor
mandy, naturally, apple trees are
planted. Twenty years ago the
roads of the northeast of France
were lined with stately poplars, but
they were continually sending off
shoots into the meadows, anil the
farmers complained 50 strongly that
axes and saws were brought out,
and soon the roads were denuded.
In their places plum trees have been
planted, and thousands of baskets of
fruit are now sent to Paris daily.
There is no reason why Indiana
roads should not be lined with trees
= and equally there is no reason
why these trees should not be fruit
trees. We need simply an intelIi-
gent road law in this state, that shall
include such things as tree planting
and care. We certainly ought TO
be equal to the people of the "effete
monarchies of Europe. "-Logans-

THE NEED OF OUR YOUNG MEN.

The Atlanta Constitution makes
some very sensible observations in
regard to the training which young
men should receive in order to pre-.
pare them for the largest us.fulne>s
in the affairs of the present day
While that paper speaks especially
of conditions in the south, its re.
marks will apply with equal force
to other sections of the country
The Constitution says
"Whenever a new cotton mill OF
factory for other purposes is estab-
lished in the south, one of its first
needs is a young man from Massa.
chusetts or Pennsylvania to superin-
tend it.
1--WE have young men of our own
who should be available for this
work, but owing to our faulty ideas
on education, while they are pre-
pared to be doctors and lawyers
they are not prepared to be handlers
of coal or iron. Thus we see them
standing about without employment
or clamoring for commissions in the
army, while the fat berths with
comfortable salaries at home are al
most all taken up by strangers,
The need of our country, then, is
Northumberland education. We
do not need men who can expound
Blackstone, but men who can swing
hammers and press electric buttons
If we do not make our facilities for
technical education broad enough
and thorough enough, we must ex-
pect to see the Massachusetts, mar
sitting in the superintendent office
while our own sons pass around the
water pail"

In the United States court at
Springfield, H., Judge Allen held
that the bankrupt court had full
power over all mortgages and dover
interests, and that they must go into
the bankrupt court. The practical
effect of the decision is to compel
the sale of estates, which are mort
gagged to the full extent of their
value, by the district court, and the
claim is made that the referees and
trustees in such cases can claim and
take from the proceeds of sale their
legal percentage upon the amounts
which are payable to the mort
gagees.
