about your business and see If you
could not behave.
TT is not the first offense by any
means. Your reputation has come to
be bad: and 1 don't know where you
are going to land, that's the trouble.
We never can see the other end Of
these things. I think it is a crying
shame for a boy to behave the way you
do. There is no excuse for it; no
apology to offer. Your relatives have
certainly labored hard enough with
you to reform you and keep you
straight. and make you one of their
number; but you refused to be one of
their number. You chose to join
class which never amounts To any
thing: to join class that never has
any happiness nor any true pleasure;
the most miserable people on the
face of the earth-the criminal class.
They are in misery all the time; no
happiness, no contentment; don't en-
joy life; and you prefer to be with
them than to go along and enjoy life
in a decent. orderly way as the rest
of the members of your family do.
Now, 1 don't know where you will
end. You will have to see for your
self what you are going to do about
this when it is all over. You have got
to the point now where the court can
not do anything but go ahead. The
chances are very great that when you
get down into the prison your associ-
ates will be of the worst, and that you
will seek them out, rather be with
them than go off by yourself and be
good. 1 may be judging you a little
too harshly about that, but 1 don't

Judge Street PASSED Sentence on
va FUiwiIer.

w. A FulwiIer convicted at this
term of court of obtaining money by
false pretenses, was sentenced to the
territorial prison yesterday for one
year, the shortest sentence possible.
The crime for which Fulwiler was in
dicted was the cashing of a worthless
check for SO at the Arizona Bakery.
After his indictment he made good his
fraud, so far as money could do it.
The case might have come to nothing
but for the defendants previous bad
record, which the high standing of his
family in this community could not
overcome Fulwiler's downward career
had not been very long, but it was
swift and complete. He was convicted.
A motion in arrest of judgment was
made and argued a week ago and de-
MED yesterday. Then a motion for a
new trial was overruled, after which
Judge Street went on to pronounce the
sentence. The judgment was preceded
by a lecture, at once flashing, fatherly
and admonitory. The defendant felt

THE NOGHsES PUDDLE
A Succe SSor to Collector Chenoweih
Sad TO Be appointed.

A telegram was received at Tucson
on Friday from First Assistant Post
master General Perry S. Heath, say
ing that he had just been informed by
the treasury department that a new
collector of customs would be installed
at Nogales on December l. The tele-
gram was received by L. B. Hayes. but
was intended for Allen T. Bird of No
gales. who then happened to be in
Tucson.
Though no mention was made OF
Collector H. K. ChenOweth. who has
been in Washington for some time I'M
dergoing an investigation by the de-
partment. it is presumed that his re-
moval has been decided upon. There
were many expressions of regret here
on the unfavorable termination of the
investigation.
The charges against Collector Chen
oweth were many, but the most SER
ious was a violation of the civil ser
vice rules in the matter of examina-
tions and the appointment of persons
to office under him. They were made
nearly a year ago and after an in
vestigation by special treasury agents
last spring. Il report adverse to him
was rendered and he was removed.
William A. HOey Of Evansville. Ind.
was appointed to succeed him and his
commission was issued. Collector
Chenoweth hurried to Washing
ton and brought such influence
into PLAY that the proceedings
were held up and his success
sor. who was about to leave for his
post. was wired to delay his going.

under an impression that his troubles
were at an end. a man cannot enjoy
that impression very long at time at
Nogales. The charges were taken up
again. More special agents were sent
to Nogales and less than a month ago
the investigation was transferred 10
Washington.
A few days ago a telegram was re-
ceived at Nogales from Mr.. Cheno-
weth saying that the charges had fail
ed. His enemies still expressed conf
dence that they would be sustained.
bat nothing more was heard from
Washington until last Friday. While
the telegram does not mention the
name of the new collector, he is I'M

Japanese Plants.

Prof. s. A. Knapp, the special COM
missioner of Secretary Wilson to the
Orient to investigate the availability
of Eastern plants and seeds for COM
mon use in this country, and secure
specimens Of those that are valuable,
has submitted his preliminary report,
summing up the work. There are a
number of seeds and plants selected
for experiment, with a view to COM
mon usage here, and they include per-
simmons, the Eastern product OF
which is a far more edible fruit than
ours, bamboo, Japan plums, pears,
camphor trees and hagi. All the per-
simmon and pear seedlings have
reached here and have been distrib>
uted to experiment stations.
The persimmOn, the report shows,
is the most universally used of all the
fruits in Japan. This makes the first
importation of the seedless variety of
the persimmon, which is dried and
preserved like a fig. Some plums were
purchased in Japan for hybridizing
our native plums.
The bamboo is used in Japan for an
infinite variety of purposes, and it is
even a table delicacy. Whether the
American taste will be trained to use
the bamboo as food is not ventured
but the report says it will thrive in
many of the Southern States, and be
of great value in various ways. Among
other uses, it is suggested as mate
rial for cave troughs, light fences,
staging, poles, rafters, etc. It is the
product of a warm climate, and in
rich, moist soil frequently grows sixty
feet in one year. Camphor trees were
selected, because this variety will
stand til frost of our Gulf States, and
the tree is large and ornamental. The

goes, and in 1871 seven cargoes from
the same port.
Imports of bananas are first noted
in 1871, when they amounted to 1920
92412 in value, and gradually it,
creased until 1882, when they sudden
ly increased to $1,19O,591, an amount
nearly two and half times as great
as the average annual imports of the
preceding decade. This sudden in
crease was in large measure due to
the short fruit crop of the season Of
1881 throughout the Eastern United
States. After 1881 it grew rapidly un
til 1891. Since the latter date there
has been an apparently steady, though
slow, decline in value, probably due
to the increased supply of domestic
fruits of other kinds.
The plantain, though more highly
esteemed in tropical countries than
the banana, has never attained popu
larity in this country.
California fruit growers are asking
for an import duty on bananas. They
say that the large consumption of ba-
nanas is detrimental to home grown
fruit. 1t might be we'll to put a tax
of, say rs cents bunch on bananas,
as a means of increasing the war rev.
enue fund. This rate would yield a
revenue of from $4,OOO,OOO to S.

marching.

marching or grating by approach
is the method commonly employed in
India for the propagation Of the finer
varieties of mangoes, and consists in
bringing a Seeding mango plant in
pot to the tree from which the scion
is to be obtained, and placing it in
such position, probably on stage,
that the portion of the tree that it is
desired to propagate can be brought
into direct contact with it, A thin
slice is then taken off one side of the
seeding, about two or three inches in
length, and a corresponding slice is
taken off the branch of the tree that
is to be used as a scion, care being
taken to select a branch of the same
diameter as the Seeding. The cut
surfaces are then placed together, tax
ing care that the inner banks on both
sides of the cuts join, and are firmly
tied in place with soft calico. The
graft is not waXed, but is kept moist
by water constantly dropping on to 1t.
When a union has taken place, the
scion is severed from the parent tree,
and the young plant is ready for re-
moving. Great care is necessary to
prevent the scion from breaking off,
as the union at first is very slight, and
it is generally a considerable time be-
fore the union is thoroughly strong.
This method of grating is tedious and
expensive, and should not be attempt
ed by any one who has not the time
to attend to the CRAFTS properly, as if
neglected they will meyer make a
union.-Queensland Agricultural Jour-

nOSticatiOns of cycles of cold; we will
take the cycles of warmth for granted
1.-THE most extensive set of Observa,
tons bearing on this subject have been
made at Paris, where records of the
magnetic declinatiOn have been kept
for about three and a half centuries
Therefore, if there is any connection
between the cycles of the magnetic
variation and our cycles of heat and
cold these cycles can be computed by
the astronomers, in the same way that
they first foretold when spring, sum-
mer, autumn and winter began.
Until we learn something definite it
will be advisable to wait for hardy
hybrids, or plant seeding orange trees
sixty or more feet apart in our fields,
and grow the necessaries of life, with
sugar, corn hog COW, cotton, rice and
tobacco for money crop, taking care
of the orange trees incidentally as we
go along, not depending upon them.
And when they do bear, planted that
distance apart, they will not be sub,
ject to the numerous enemies they are
now by reason of close planting.
We are not the only generation Of
Gods beloved people that have had re-
verses. The old sages were prOvident,
and when a cycle of seven years of
bountiful harvests occurred lney gar
nered them, so that in the following
seven years of short crops there would
be no suffering from the pangs of hun,
ger. Those old fellows were close OBJ
servers, closer than we are, they only
had dreams, while we have actual ice
and frozen ground to walk on to warn
us. They probably could not figure
certain phenomena some centuries in
advance, as our astronomers do, but
they had the tact to take warning and
shingle their roofs while the sun
shined. We have had warnings enough
to go slow on the orange industry; how
many will heed it?

Bananas and Plantains.

The history of the development of
the import trade in bananas is one of
the most striking features of the
American fruit trade. The first lot Of
thirty punches was brought here in
1904 by Captain Chester of the sc1oon-
er Reynard. In 1880 the first cargo
of 1900 punches was brought, and not
until 1857 was a regular trade devel
oped between Baracoa and Boston.
This trade continued until 1869, when
an additional source of supply was
needed and Mr.. William G. Bliss, the
pioneer in the Baracoa banana trade,
obtained a small cargo of the fruit at
Port Antonio, Jamaica, and left an
agen there to encourage it's produc-
ton. In 1870 he secured three car.

One reason for the superior charac-
ter of Bermuda arrowroot is the scrC-
pulous care taken in every stage of the
manufacture. The mode of culture is
very similar to that of the common
potato. The roots, after being collect
ed, are washed, and their outer Gu
ticle completely removed. This pro-
cess requires care, for the cuticle con-
color and a disagreeable flavor to the
starch, and cannot be removed by
subsequent treatment. The pared

Civil engineers and astronomers tell
us that the magnetic needle varies
from year to year. By way of exam
pie, we will take Charleston. In the
year 100 the magnetic needle at that
station pointed directly north, while
in the year 1897 the variation reached
its maximum Of 4. 81 east; in the year
1889 the needle again pointed due
north and since then has an increas-
ing western variation which in 1900
will be half degree.
The record for Baltimore goes back
1870 years further than that of Charles
ton. At Baltimore, in the year 1870,
the variation was 6 degrees west,
while in 1899 the needle again point
ed due north, and in 1900 will be $40
