LUKE GAkl>lSON'S ORCHARD.
"A Ne" yorker Hns Single Trees That
Are Made to Bear Many
Varieties OF Fruits,

Perhaps the oldest looking farm in
New Jersey is situated at the southern
end of East Orange. Scores of New
Workers pass on bicycles every week
within two blocks of it, little dreaming
how close they are to fairyland. For
more than 90 years Luke Garrison has
been cultivating an orchard of grated
trees, remarkable for unique and gro
tesque effects. The road in front of
the house is lined with trees queerly
branched, and as the visitor enters the
yard he passes under n wonderfully
grated arch of magnificent elms. The
front yard is filed with curiosities in
the shape of trees.
1t is the large orchard that mostly
calls for attention. Great care and pa
tence' combined with ingenuity, have
enabled Mr.. Garrison to serve on
single stem a collection of orchard
products that has made many a con-
nolsseur envious. It is almost impos-
slble to find tree that does not bear
more than one variety of fruit. On one
side is row Of trees, each of which
bears several kinds of apples, while
on the other you can see n dozen labels
on small pear tree. One tree has sew
eral kinds of crab apples, and there
are many small trees which bear
oranges and lemons, both fruits grow
ing from one stalk, with the branches
curlously interviewer.
"A specimen of Mr.. Garrison's art is
tree bearing the following apples:
Golden pippins, dairy closture, sour
harvest, white genesee, van duyne, red
astrachan, county pippins, victuals and
drink rustics, early and late greetings,
Peach-apples, crabapples, lady-apples,
black-apples and many others, each
branch labeled for the visitors infor-
nation. This tree is about 90 years
old. There is a pear tree which bears
oartletts, red cherubs, greeleys, seek
els, lawrence and buery deals. A pc
cullar pear found in the orchard is the
i"aho. 1t is large and flat, without
any core or seed, and excels the BART
lett in flavor. Probably the most won
derful tree in the orchard is one which
bears no fewer than 16 varieties of
lrult, including plums, apples, pears,
peaches, mulberries, ounces, etc. The
ounce is the most difficult to graft.
such freaks as American, japanese and
Italian chestnuts growing on one tree
are regarded by Mr.. Garrison as easy
to accomplish. He also has different
kinds OF peaches growing on small
shoot.
Some years ago Mr.. Garrison was the
recipient of package from somewhere
up New York state containing twig
which would, it was declared, produce
an apple half of which would be sour
and half sweet. Mr.. Garrison planted
it and it grew. But the apples we're
sour all through. Mr.. Garrison tried in
every way to produce the real article,
but was finally compelled to admit that
he had been made the victim of joke.

Red and pink have taken very many
of the foremost seats in fashions court
this season.
The mania for braiding dresses, and,
for that matter, for braiding nearly
every article of wear, is likely to con-
tinue.
There will be no end of fancy shirt
waists this autumn to wear with tailor
made coats and skirts of cloth, tweed or
cheviot.

peculiar and becoming shade of rose
that appears among .tulles, velvets and
ribbons for collars, bows, rosettes and
millinery uses.
Some of the newest shirred tunics,
matching the open bodice and sleeves in
fabric, are rounded at the lower edge
and are so short that they look extreme
ly like the panniers of other days.
The new supple weaves of taffeta silk
will be in great demand this fall, both

RAISES CANDIDATES.
The City of Indianapolis Is II Place
Where Aspiring: Politicians
Flourish.

indianapolis, Ind, boasts of the finest
climate in the United States in respect
to political salubrity. A few years in its
atmosphere will convert farmer boy
into president or vice president, while
its output of ambassadors, consuls gen.
eral and the like is merely regarded as
an incident to the more important work
in hand of turning out national presd-
ing officers. At present indianapolis
holds many important European consul
lar posts. One is minister to Austria.
Just now the postmasters at Havana,
Ponce and San Juan, the three impor-
tant cities of our new acquisitions, are
all from Indianapolis. But the city has
a more unique record than this. 1t has
had representation on national tickets
for the longest unbroken period of any
city in the country. In period of 20
years, beginning with 1872, there was
not national election when the city
was without representation on one of
the tickets. If Schuyler Colfax, whose
home was at South Bend, but who spent
much of his time in indianapolis, is con-
sidered an Indianapolitan, this period
is extended another four years; and on
top of this an Indianapolitan was ma
tional candidate for vice president in
the days before the war. The unbrollen
stretch of 20 years, when bona fide resi-
dents of the city were on the national
tickets, is as follows: In 1872 five cleo
toral votes were cast for George w.
Julian for vice president and AZ votes
for Thomas A. Hendricks for president:
1876, Hendricks was the democratic
nominee for vice president; 1880, Will
liam II. English was the democratic
nominee for vice PRESIDENT; 1854, Hen
bricks was the successful candidate for
vlceprcsident: 1883, benjamin Harrison
was the successful nominee for presi-
dent: 1892. Harrison WIS the defeated
republican nominee for president. In
1865 ColfaN was elected vice president.
In 1852 Julian was The nominee for vice
president on the free soil democratic

Strength of the ,BOer Army.

The report that General Piet Joubert
will be able to count on total Boer
army OF $4,000 men ought to stir Mr..
Chamberlain and the British war party
to serious thoughts, says the Chicago
Tribune. 1t was this same General Jou-
bert who met the British forces under
General Colley at Majuba Hill in 1881
and administered one OF the most re-
markabe drubbings OF modern times.
General Colley took his Goo men to the
top OF this small and precipitous hill and
eScultingly challenged the Beers:
Come up here, you beggars!' In broad
daylight $50 picked Boer volunteers
climbed from terrace to terrace, dodg-
ing behind boulders, and gained the
top after five hours climb with the loss
Of only one man. At range OF thirty
yards these brave men began a deadly
fire from behind the rocks, and when
second party gained the summit and
threatened TO flank the English a wild
panic spread among the latter. General
Collcy and many other officers were
killed. and the survivors fled in coniu-
SION, dropping and rolling down the
sides OF the hill, pursued by a storm OF
bullets that seldom missed. When the
casualties were counted it was found
that the Beers had killed O. English
men, wounded 1874, and captured 50.
The loss on the Bocr side was one
killed and five woundcd On this basis

900 troops 10 meet tie $4,000 Bocrs,
with the chances still in favor OF the
Beers. Ii the British government forces

same treatment at General Joubcrts
hands that it got i'll 1881.

FREE BLEEDERs,
4 Curious Tendency That Manifests
Itself in Otherwise Apparently
Healthy Persons.

Among the members of some families
there exists curious tendency to
bleed profusely from the slightest in
jury. An insignificant cut on the finger,
or even a pin scratch, will sometimes
bleed so obstinately as to almost en-
danger life, and many subjects of this
strange condition do actually bleed to
death from trivial wounds, which in
4 healthy person would not cause five
minutes of discomfort.
In addition to the importance of
haemophilia, as the affection is called,
as menace to life it affords a most in
teresting study in heredity. The dis
ease runs in families and is transmitted
from one generation to another accord
ing to curiously complex law.
It affects the male members of the
family almost exclusively. The chill
dren of man who is ''blecdcr" often
show no tendency in themselves to the
loss of blood from slight wounds, and
his sons children are likewise free from
the trouble; but the male children of
the daughters are again bleeders. Thus
the males of the family in every sec
ond generation suffer, yet the tendency
is transmitted in the female line.
This looks like malignant effort
on the part of nature to preserve the
tendency from extinction; for were it
transmitted only through the male line,
the boys and men only being bleeders,
the families would soon die out and
tho licaoco A., -,
tendency persists through many gen.
erations, one family being known in
which it has been evident for more than
two centuries.
Except for anaemia due to repeated
hemorrhages, bleedcrs usually show no
signs of i'll health. They do not often
reach adult life, but when they do they
gradually outgrow the disposition.
Boys who suffer from this condition
are almost always covered with black
and blue spots, the slightest tap on the
skin often resulting in new discolora-
ton. A wound is not always necessary
to bring on the bleeding, and profuse
and even fatal hemorrhage, perhaps in
the form of nose-bleed, may start sud-
denly without apparent cause.
The treatment of an attack of hem
orrhage in bleeder is the same as that
for any other person, but it must be
more energetic. The boys in bleedcr
family should of course always be I'M
der physicians care. Fortunately the
number of such families, in this coun-
try, at least, is small.--Youth's Com

sure to remain faithful to boas. and the
most charming ones are preparing, not
to succeed feathers and furs, but to be
worn with them. They are larger and
more important, but have long ends, the
great novelty in them being the chenille
trimming. A very pretty large ruffle of
chiffon had not only the edges tipped
with chenille, but long netted ends of
coarse black chenille. Soft silk is also
being prepared for rufus, edged with
narrow white semicircles of fur or mar
about, and some exceedingly pretty
marabout boas in gray and white are
made with any number of tails. Other
new boas are composed of leaflets of
soft lisse, edged with black and white
lace. Many OF these rui1les are COM
posed of very full bouillonnes of lisse,
with frill of lisse, edged with lace, also
very full, put over them. long stole ends
