PALMS FROM AFRICA.
=. 8! 'ss q

A. carload Of 450 date palms, in
Guiding specimens Of all the best
varieties known in Northern Africa,
just imported by the United States
Department OF Agriculture, was re :
ceived by the Agricultural Expert
ment Station here today. The palms
left Algiers June H., coming by way
of New York and New Orleans, the
Southern Pacific shipping them from
Now York free of charge. The palms
will be thoroughly fumigated under
personal supervision of Prof. R. HI.
Forbes, director of United States Ex-
pertinent Station, in order to kill all
scale or other plant diseases with
which they might be infected. They
will then be set out in the United
States date palm orchard at Tempe,
where there are already number of
the plants in Aourishing condition. In
about three years cuttings from these
II
plants will be available for distribu-
tion throughout Arizona and the Pa
cifc Coast. Investigations thus far
carried out show Southern Arizona to
be a natural home for the date palm,
1t is predicted at the experiment sta
ton that this is the beginning Of an
extensive and profitable industry for
this region.

An interesting story comes from Pro-
vo regarding the age of miracles. For
those who are not supsrstitious 1t is
doubiy entertaining. During a recent
visit Of President George G. Cannon to
the Southern town he was entertained
at the home Of L. Helbreek, manager
Of the Grand Central Mine. Mr.. Hol-
brooks Afteen-year-oId daughter Aura
told President Cannon that she had
dreamed three times that she had
found a diamond ring, and in the third
dream a man giving his name as Van
ess, and address Dallas, Texas, had
told her he lest q ring while going
through Prove 10 years age, and that
she could find II under q certain rock,
giving minute details as to the location
Of the same. President Cannon listened
to the story with interest, and at it's
conclusion told the girl she should fol-
low UP her dream. Aura got on her
wheel and rede away. In less than two
minutes she returned, holding a dia-
mend ring in her hand. She claims to
have found it in the place described by

FREELAND, PA, MARCH 26, 1900


From Philadelphia North American.
The National ReDieao, of London, has
discovered why it is that the American
people so generally sympathize with
their little sister republics of South
Africa. 1t says:
The proBoer craze has unquestion-
ably been imported into the United
States by Irish Papists, who take their
cue from Dublin and Rome, and by
German Jews, who look to Berlin for
their political orders.
The NatiOnaLi ReojelO is sober maga-
zine that circulates among the wellto-
do classes. When such a publication
supplies its readers with the kind of in
formation quoted respecting American
sentiment it is not surprising that the
masses, who get their news and views
from less respectable sources, should be
grotesquely misled as to the state Of
public opinion in the United States.
When Americans have ceased to be-
lieve in the principles of the Declaration
Of Independence and have forgotten the
history of their own country, they will
look with approval at the attempt of a
great monarchy to stamp out of exist
ence two small republics, and not till
then. 1.-The pro-Boer craze" exists in the
United States because England has
turned her back upon all that is best in
her traditions and is making war upon a
free people who are fighting for what
any Englishman would fight for in their
place.
England is wrong, wrong beyond pos
sibility Of reasonable defense, in her
treatment of the Transvaal republic.
She had no more right to interfere with
its internal affairs than she would have
to interfere with ours. BY persistence
in an interference clearly denied to her
which she now avows, to destroy the
independence of the republic, and so
forced this wicked war in the interest
OF exploiting mining millonaires.
Americans sympathize with the Beers
because they hate tyranny, love liberty,
and instinctively side with the weak
who are right against the strong who
man Jews" and all other men who are
animated by these just and generous
sentiments, have an incompatible better
standing in American esteem than
Tories, whatever their nationality, who
side with England in war that shocks
the moral sense of mankind
