vorably on the proposed Nancy Hanks

veterans of that state The movement
was due to letter received tv Presi-

who had visited the grave of Nancy
Hanks Lincoln, at Lincoln City, in
Spencer county, Ind, and had found it
absolutely neglected, with every posi-
bility that the spot would soon be un-
recognizable unless some step were
taken to preserve it. The president
sent the letter to Governor Mount, who
called a conference OF the veteran Or

Hanks Memorial association, of which

Of the site. Subscriptions amounting
to 1900 have been received. and this

monument over the grave Of Abraham
Lincoln's mother. The movement is
one that has been undertaken entirely
BY the Indiana veterans, who are proud
of the fact that the great emancipation
spent dozen years Of his life in their
state. 1t is fitting that they should
guard the last resting place of the wo-
man who gave him to the world.

What a Whale Weighs.

Have you any idea of the size of the
common Greenland whale? Nilsson
the zoologist, estimates the full grown
animal to average 100 tons, or 224 600
pounds. That is to say whale weighs
as much as about so elephants or
bears. OF course some run larger than
this. There are tales among old whal-
ers of whales Ito feet long, and weigh
ing at least $50 tons But such are
lot seen in these days A 70-foot whale
is big one now. Still, it may give
some idea of what monsters are occa-
sionally killed when we mention that
a ton of oil has been extracted from
the tongue of single whale.

How No, to pack Apples.

Benjamin Newhall OF Chicago, in an
address to Illinois horticuIturists
said:
An art simple as piling cord wood
apparently, but really as difficult as
any art. To a man applying for po-
eition as an apple pack err for us.
usually ask the question are you an
expert packer" and the reply usually
10, yes indeed | was brought up ON a
farm and have raised fruit all my
life" Somehow | always feel discour-
aged when hear this reply. The next
question, state just what experience
you have had" usually brings out the
fact, that the farm was not really a
fruit farm. though a few old apple
trees might have been in evidence.
This is usually enough as far as ex-
perience goes, bat | sometimes try
still farther and ask the expert" to
WIZ a few samples of some of the
directions and will offer one or two
herewith.
/. Take the bari and put nothin but
good stock in and leave your twos and
elders out. Put the press onto her
good and hard and mark the bari on
The head"
Imagine an inexperienced man try
ing to pack with these directions. He
would probably put the head onto
her" SO good and hard that the
cider would fly in all directions.
Another by young man just from
al OF nnI1aoa aud Uhn alcn In M
1t all. Is somewhat different in style,
but not much better in substance.
Select convenient spot in the
meadow for the packing operation and
get all your utensils at convenient
distances from your men; select your
specimens of fruit with scrupulous
care and see that not one specimen
which is not extra fancy in quality is
allowed access into the package; take
only the finest varieties in the mead
ow, leaving more common ones for
the farm animals and for mincemeat.
II you follow these Instructions I'M
plicitly you will have no trouble In
selling all you pack" This last state
ment Is probably true, and We would
nave no trouble III Selling ali we
packed, but we can imagine trouble In
other directions and so can you.
We have many other samples, some
" which are even more ridiculous, but
Lhese two, / think, will answer my
purpose. They show that neither Nv
ing on a farm nor going to college
makes an apple packer. Experience
and common sense are the best teach
srs, but unless the experience has
been in the right direction and the
common sense is aided by study and
experience, even these are not suffi-
cient.
take 1t that no one In this COM
pany needs to be told how to pack ap-
pies. Possibly there might be a diff
terence of opinion in some minor de-
tails. but the main points, good coop
erage. careful facing honest packing.

care of all in the leveling off resy

Trouble with the signals.

One of the chief subjects OF the dis
cussion among the captains and mas
ters of vessels is the difference be-
tween the Canadian and American
marine rules which govern navigators
in Canadian water during foggy
weather. The signal used, according
to the Canadian rules during fog, is
one long blast of the whistle, to be
blown at short intervals. or the ringing
of a bell. The American signal Is
three short blasts. With this differ
ence in the law captains and masters
find some difficulty during foggy or bad
weather, especially when vessels are
passing one another in the Welland
canal and such places. During the re-
cent foggy weather much difficulty was
experienced IN this respect at the en-
trance of the Welland canal at Port
Dalhousie. Navigators of both coun-
tries recognize the great disadvantage
they are at with this difference In their
danger signals. and do not hesitate to
say that a uniform code of signals
should be adopted by both countries
making 1t an international law.-To-
ronto Telegram.

Owners OF live stock grazing upon

in the case Of Monroe against Can
non, appealed from the District court
OF Lewis and Clarke county. as it In.
wolves the question of grazing stock
upon unfeneed prairie land. Monroe
sued Cannon for $500 damages grow
ing out OF the latter feeding his sheer
upon Monroe's unfenced land. The
jury awarded verdict OF $500 and
Cannon appealed, claiming that plain.
tiff had no right to sue because his
premises were not enclosed by a legal
fence. The Supreme court does noi
agree with the proposition that there
can be no damages for grass eaten by
animals herded upon unfenced land
If appellant is correct" says the
court, no man whose field or pas
ture, or garden is not enclosed by
legal fence Is entitled to protection
under the law from the trespasses OF
any man who may desire to drive or
herd his cattle or sheep upon IT, If
this is true in this case 1t is true in
any case where mans land is not
protected by legal fence The laws
of the state provide that trespass is
not committed when cattle are run
ming at large upon unenclosed lands
But 1t is quite a different thing when
cattle are not running at large, but
in charge and under the control of a
herdsman, the employee and agent OF
the owners, are driven and kept upon
unenclosed land against the will of the
owners, and with full knowledge of the
owners OF the cattle"
