WHY He DID NOT WANT TO Co.
A German peasant family had made
all their arrangements to emigrate to
the United States. On the day before
the family was to take its departure,
the eldest son, Hans, who was an enor-
nous eater, indicated that he did not
care to 20 west.
"Has some village maiden beguiled
thee to remain behind ?" asked the
father.
"Nothing of the kind" promptly
retorted Hans.
"Why, then, dost thou not wish to
60 with us?"
"I've been talking to the school
master, and"
"Well, what did he say ?"
"He says that when it is II o'clock

NATURES TONIC-RIPE FRUIT
If people only ate more fruit they
would take much less medicine and
have better health. There is al
old saying that fruit is gold in the
morning and lead at night. AS mat
ter of fact, it may be gold at both
times but then it should be eaten on
an empty stomach and not as dessert
when the appetite is satisfied and di
gestion is already sufficiently taxed
Fruit taken in the morning be-
fore the fast of the night has been
broken is very refreshing, and il
serves as a stimulus to the digestive
organs. A ripe apple or an orange may
be taken with good effect. Fruit, tc
be really valuable as an article of diet
should be ripe, sound and in every
way of good quality, and if posi-
BILE it should be eaten raw. Instead
of eating plate of ham and eggs fol

if they would take some grapes, pear:

ENGLISH MILLS LACK COTTON.
Trusted to Exaggerated Estimates and
May Have to Shut Down.

Trusted to Exaggerated Estimates and
May Have to Shut Down.
Manufacturers Record.
In its review of Britain's foreign
trade, under date of February 10th,
the London Statist gives particular at
tention to the great shortage in the
cotton imports. 1t estimates that dur
ing the first four months of the pres
ent season, there was decline Of about
S3S 100000 in the value of cotton i'm
ports from the United States from the
same period last season. II says:
"The question which has now be-
come of serious moment is, can sutti'
cient cotton be obtained from America
to meet our requirements for the re.
mainder of the cotton season? If 1t
cannot, and all the indications point to
a crop deficiency, we are in danger ol
our supply of raw material being in,
sufficient for our requirements, and
necessitating the suspension of work
by our mills toward the close of the
season. 1t is inconceivable that plant
ers should still hold cotton back to any
extent if they have a large crop
Many Of them are known to be i'm
pecunious and to he compelled to
market cotton freely in the earlier
months of the cotton season. But
four months Of the season have now
elapsed and still the supply is relative
ly small, in view of the supply hither-
to. We may therefore witness high
er price and greater scarcity OF
cotton than for many years."
In connection with this should be
read an article in the London Finan'
cial Times by an expert touching the
situation in Lancanshire. He traced
the slowness of English spinners to
buy American cotton to their conf
dence in the exaggerated estimate OF
the crop put forward at the beginning
of the season. This, he says, has
brought them face to face with greatly
reduced reserve stock and advancing
market. He adds:
"Reports are now coming to hand
from some of the cotton growing Sec
tions of the south that planters are
preparing to put larger acreage un-
der cotton cultivation than last season.
"Such reports, be it noted, are to be
expected at this time of the year
They are akin to the exaggerated esti'
mates which have resulted in re-
duction of exports to Great Britain,
amounting to nearly 100000 bales
from last season. Cotton planters
have yet time to prevent the ills which
will come to them if the reports ol
largely increased acreage becomes
facts. There is no more reason, from
their standpoint, why they should
have an inflated acreage this year
than there was last year.

HOW To SET FRIJIT TREES.


The season is again near at hand for
planting trees, shrubs, vines and plants,
and no time should be lost in prepar-
ing all the requisites so as to be in
readiness for planting at the first op-
portunity. Many persons fail to un.
derstand the importance of having the
soil in thorough tilth at planting time.
The lifetime of tree or plant depends
materially on a scientific system of
planting, and the first five years after
planting determines the existence and
protitableness of the orchard or vine
yard.
Select the location for a new orchard
with care. See that the soil conditions
suited to the nature and requirements
of each variety are present. Give the
apple the loamy soil, and the peach,
pear, cherry and plum the thinner or
poorer soil. The dwarf pear requires
good garden loan. Plow the ground
deep, harrow and level and mark of
the trees accurately. Dig the holes, or,
if planting largely, four burrows may
be turned apart with the plow, leaving
an open furrow for the line OF trees.
Have the trees trenched, each variety
separately, near where they are to be
planted. Take ten or twelve from the
trench at time, giving protection to
the roots by covering with damp bur-
lap or old carpet. Cut back the mutt
lated roots to sound, healthy wood.
Use sharp knife, cutting from the
under side. Set apple trees l to 2
inches deeper than they stood in the
nursery row, leaning 10 to Is degrees
to the southwest.
Having the top soil thoroughly fined
or pulverized. Fill in by sprinkling
on and through the roots, packing in
with the fingers. When the roots are
well covered, the dirt should be firmed
with the feet so as to leave no air space
about or near the roots. If the soil is
too dry to supply proper moisture,
then water. One to three gallons may
be poured in the hole after the roots
are covered, and after the water has
settled out of sight, continue the filling
and tirming.
Peach, plum and pear should be
planted 3 or 4 inches deeper in the or
chard than they stood in the nursery,
as this will bring the budded junction
under ground, and in time the bud
stock will cast roots and give support
and vitality. After the planting of
apple and peach is concluded, 60 over
and cut back the growth of the apple
one. third to one-half, cutting the peach
back, all side branches, to one or two
buds of the center stalk. Head back
the center stalk to and 8 feet. Pear,
plum and cherry should not be cut
back except to take out broken limbs.

SHADES Of CRUSOE !
His Island Now Dssecrated by a German
Canning Factory.

His Island Now Desecrated by a German
Canning Factory.
The government of Chile has recent
Iy leased the island of Juan Fernandez,
sacred to the memory of Robinson
Crusoe, to firm of Germans, who
have erected a canning factory and are
putting up fish, lobster and crabs for
the South African market. They also
have herds of cattle and goats on the
ranges and ship good deal of fresh
beef to Valparaiso. The goats are
raised for their skins and are descend
ed from the animals that furnished food
for Robinson Crusoe.
The island is situated about 400 miles
west of Valparaiso, and the lessees
send sailing ship back and forth with
regularity. There is quite town at
Cumberland hay, composed of their
employees. Occasionally parties OF
sportsmen from Chile 90 over to the
Juan Fernandez for shooting, and it is
favorite resort for naval vessels, as
it offers a good opportunity to 6 i've the
men liberty without exposing them to
the temptations of city life. The is
land is about % miles long and 10
wide at the broadest part and is COW
cred with beautiful hills and lovely
valleys, the highest peaks reaching
an elevation of 5000 feet. The land
scape and many of its typographical
features are correctly described in the
story; but Defoe located it in the Ca
rlbbean sea, near Trinidad. The story
of Robinson Crusoe follows closely the
experience of Alexander Selkirk, as
related by him to Daniel Defoe after
his return to England.
Selkirk was the son of shoemaker
and tanner, Il man of means at Largo,
Fifpshire, Scotland, and was born in
l776. Being a wayward boy he ran
away from home aud took to the sea
early in life. In 1901 he was sailing
master or chief mate of the Cinque
Ports, one Of a fleet of privateers sent
out from England to the south seas
under Captain Damphir. After the
death of Captain Charles Flckering,
who was friendly to Selkirk, Lieuten'
ant Thos. Straddling was appointed to
command the vessel, and while cruis.
ing along the shores of Mexico had a
quarrel with his first mate, which grew
fierce aud fercer until the vessel
reached Juan Fernandez, where Sell
kirk was marooned for mutiny. He
was sent ashore with his sea chest and
all of his effects and furnished with
tools and ammunition so that he might
sustain himself. The shores abounded
with fish and the mountains with
goats, so that there was no danger OF
starvation, and Selkirk relates in his
journal that as time wore on he be.
came reconcied to his situation and
was monarch of all be surveyed. y
The faithful Friday was Mosquito
Indian from Nicaragua, who had
been abandoned at Juan Fernandez by
the captain of his ship, who landed
there for fresh water and fresh meat
some weeks after the arrival of the
Cinque Ports.-Chicago Record.

THE CHILDREN AND SUNDAY.

"Children cannot keep still long at a
time, and a quiet drive in the country,
walk through fields or woods, stroll
through orchard or garden, are all in
harmony with the spirit of the day" "
writes Emily d. Streibert, in "With
the Children on Sunday" in The La
dies Home Journal. "There is no bet
ter day than Sunday in which to
think kindly and lovingly of others.
Let the children gather flowers for
some old lady, and autumn leaves for
sick friend, nuts for playmate or
collection of leaves of different sorts
to surprise papa with their botanical
knowledge. On the same principle
let them work for children's hospitals
for mission schools and missionary
boxes. Let them make scrap books,
cut out pictures and stories and ar
range them in envelopes or boxes.
Hallow all these pastimes with loving
thoughts of the dear Father in heaven,
who wants us to be kind to his other
children who are poor, sick and neg
lected. One of the best of influences
over children comes with loving care
for plants and animals; therefore, l
should let them water garden beds
and house plants, trim up the canary's
cage, make a warm, soft bed for the
kitten and feed the rabbits and chick
ems. Let the children make Sunday
visits to the old, sick and the poor.
Let them write or dictate letters to
grandma or auntie to some shut-in
friend or old nurse. Music is always

should never be left out of the pro,

THE SCIENCE OF TREE PRUNING -
In small fluit plants the Ole dead bear
ing wood should be cut out in winter
and the bearing canes not cut back
until the growing season. Some varle'
ties require much more pruning than
others. March and April are the best
months for pruning, for if the work is
done in mid winter, while the tree is
dormant, the wood growth is much
greater. Summer pruning induces
fruit growth. IF the trees are win
tertrimmed, cut them with long
stubs, which are again cut close in
May and June. Pear and ounce trees
need much more severe pruning than
apple trees, though the latter are not
usually sufficiently thinned out in the
head, the usual pruning being confined
to the outer branches, when the head
branches ought to be thinned to let in
sun to color the fruit. The inside
wood of the peach also needs thinning
