The EnOrmity Melted,

There was especial opposition to the
disturbance of the old Granary burial
ground adjoining the Common in Bos-
ton, through a portion of which the
subway runs. 1t was necessary to re
move the remains OF 910 persons in
tered there. One elderly man of
Scotch descent made Il great fuss over
what he termed the enormity of mo-
testing the bones of his ancestors"
After much argument. delay and per-
suasion the venerable Scot was in
duced to agree that if the city would
construct n tomb according to his
ideas he would consent to the removal
without causing further trouble. On
the day the vault was completed the
guardian of his prOgenitors was taken
over to inspect this new repository.
Now" said DR.. Green. a former
mayor, who had charge of the work of
removing the bodies, you can set a
day and the remains can be brought
over and deposited here"
what exclaimed the old gentle
man. Have that nice new tomb lit

On a small island in the middle of
the South Pacific lives planter, the
only white man OH the island-which
is full of brown skinned folk-who
cuts and dries the meat of the cocanut
which he sells to trading vessels.
When any stranger stops at his is
land he will give him of the best that
the island affords; he Will get up great
concerts and dances of the islanders;
above all, he will take him out to see
his pet, which is perhaps the largest
AMI oldest animal that was ever pet

This pet is a sperm whale, nearly 20
feet long. He came through the mar

which is walled in by a coral reef.

he had grown so large that he could

and amusing tricks. apparently know

TITO Austrian Enna

The two greatest dandies at the EN-
press Maria Theresas court were
Count Crobor and Marquis Taroncca.
These two men made a wager as to
who should appear in the most costly
costume at the next court ball, jewels
to be debarred. The Marquis Taroncca
appeared in most gorgeous apparel and
was considered by every one to have
triumDhed over his rival. who was at
tired in a plain satin suit. While the
jury were deciding Count Crobor threw
open his plain satin cloak, and. placing
it on the ground. showed that it was
lined with one of Correggios most IA
nous works. The count won the wager
900 ducats-but the Correggio had
cost 100000 ducats.
The same count once paid a visit to
Paris with large party of friends
and entertained them at dinner"
which lasted three days and nights. 1t
is interesting to note that this extrava-
CANT nobleman died in penury some 30
years later. Having exhausted his
means, be was pensiOned by the En-
peror Francis, but in 1865, when Fran
els died. his pension was reduced to
about $50 Il year. One morning in mid
winter the frozen corpse of the count
was discovered on heap of refuse on
the shores of the Danube.

Too Much Rot To Swallow,

The Chicago platform Democrats at
the following sentences, which indicate
what the keynote of the Democracy will
be next year.:
"Aguinaldo is a hero"
imperialism is the issue of the day.
when the great citadel of American
liberty is being destroyed it is time for
us to abandon the question of monopoly
and rush to the rescue"
I'VE do not talk of Is to l now; it is

"McKinley's administration is a

One Democrat of Ohio, a politician
pretty well known, e. 7. Dun, of Find
lay, a campaign orator, is out in a pub
lished card, in which he says that he
had intended to attend conventions of
the Democracy, as he has for twenty
five years, but will now draw the line,
because he sees the direction the party
is going to take, since the reasonable
speeches at the meeting. Says Mr..
Dun: II am not in accord with these
views, and l will not pretend to be. My
country is not destroying the great Cit
adel of American liberty, but is
strengthening it's bulwarks. We are not

faction of them waged war to secure a
separate government for themselves
their claim would have been consid-
cred trivial and not for their best inter-
ests, though there would have been cit
liens of the eastern states who would
have believed in letting them have their
way. To-day all the people of the terri
tory know that control by the United
States was best. The citizens who be-
came such without their consent Loyalty
helped to fight the war for preserva-
ton of the union which had adopted
them, and now one who hunts for trait
ors must seek elsewhere than among
the descendants of the people who were
formerly citizens Of Mexico.
The people Of the Philippine islands
will in time become as glad to be under
the control of the United States as are
those of coded territory of Florida,
Louisiana, New Mexico and California
and of Porto Rico.

Bequett's Free is an excellent peach,
large and delicious. Skin creamy white,
tinged with red; flesh white, red at
stone. Tree a strong grower and mod

some peach, skin whitish green, with
red cheek where grown in the sun.
Flesh white, deeply tinged with red at
the stone, quality very good. Tree Wig
orous and a moderate bearer.
OF the pears named, the Bartlett Is
the leading commercial variety in this
country. 1t succeeds s%plendidly here
and at other places in the territory; a
heavy cropper, but the fruit this year is
understood, owing to the drouth. 1t is
best picked only a few days before
ripening, though it will ripen in the
house even when picked before 1T Is full
ly grown. Petit Marguerite is a me-
diminished early August pear of good
quality, that is we'll worth planting for
home use, to have a succession of this
delicious fruit. Beurre Goubalt Is a me-
dunn to large variety, juicy and good
for home use or a near market.
The plums named are among the most
useful in the entire list. The Bulgarian
is one Of the best prunes, superior in
quality to the French or German, and
an equally good bearer. The Yellow
Egg plum will always find a ready
market because of it's large size and fine
appearance, though in quality it does
not compare with the Jefferson Gage,
which is the best variety of it's class in
the college orchard. All three are good
growers and heavy troopers.

SOME FRUITS OF AUGUST.
New Mexico College Of Agriculture and
Mechanic Arts and Experiment
Station.

Owing to the prolonged drouth the
experimental orchard Of the agricultur-
al college has suffered materially. Many
varieties have dropped their fruit, and
others have ripened prematurely.
Among the best sorts that have ripened
in August, drouth-resistance, quality,
quantity and vigor being considered,
are the following: Apples-Maiden
Blush, August Is; C~arter's Blue, Au-
gust II; Jonathan, August 30. Peaches
Bequett's Free, August 10; Cother's,
August 80. Pears-Petit Marguerite,
August Is; Buerre Goubalt, August 16;
Bartlett, August 80. Plums-Bulgarian
Prune, August 20; Yellow Egg, August
81; Jefferson Gage, August 81.
OF the apples named, Maiden Blush is
a standard summer variety, and Jona-
than is equally well known as one of the
best dessert fruits. In the north it's sea-
son is early winter, but at Mesilla Park
1t ripens very early. Carter's Blue is a
large, roundish oblate apple, with skin
green, striped with dull red, and COW
cred with blue bloom; flesh white, crisp,
rich and good. Tree a vigorous upright
grower and good bearer. <
