Fruits Replace Flowers.

Fruits are replacing flowers as deco
rations for the table, and for this pur-
pose are used not fruit bought by the
pound, but fruit on its branches. These
branches are entwined in the hanging
lamps, forming a sort of cradle whence
hang fresh currants, shining cherries,
plums with the bloom on them, golden
apricots, etc. On the table, in little fiat
glass dishes shaped like leaves, are ar
ranged cherries, currants and other
fruit in season. These cut glass dishes
are made in very practical form, with
second compartment in which are
placed powdered sugar and little
spoon. There may be four or six of
them, of fairly large size, or else little
ones may be chosen, in which case there
should be one to each guest. New and
ingenious ideas for laying the tables
are being continually introduced. Thus
beside the plates are placed small cres-
cent-shaped plates for salad, and some
times delicate little silver knives and
forks, used only for this purpose-as
in the case of fish linives-are added

LEARN ABOUT THE COLONIES
ERglishmen May Inform Themselves
at Home Regarding Other
Lands.

For the last dozen years England mas
been developing an institution OF
which, as yet, there is little need IN
this country. That is the Colonial col
lege, in q remote corner of Suffolk. in
which, upon an estate OF about 500
acres, equipped with suitable buildings,
laboratories, and SO forth, the young
men of the realm who desire to broaden
their horizon and their field OF effort
take a course of one or two years In
what Is known as training for the col
onies." Here they are taught that these
far-away dependencies are not Eldora-
does, where gold can be had for the
carriage, but places in which pioneer pa
thence, courage and thrift are neces-
sary qualities. The theory OF rough
ing It" is inculcated, and the instruc-
ton is to considerable extent along
emergency lines, such as saddlery, cdf-
pentry, dairying, veterinary medicine
and the like.
There is also varied system OF in
struction in the different kinds Of farm
ing that correspond to the natural con-
ditions of the particular locations con-
templated. Thus, one may qualify for
Manitoba by studying wheat raising;
another for Tasmania by acquiring the
mysteries of fruit culture, while third,
having New Zealand in mind, will de-
vote himself to the best methods of
sheep raising. Canada has thus far re-
ceived the largest number of gradu-
ates. and New Zealand next. The col
iege certificate of two years course
is a great assistance to the student as
a recommendation to desirable employ
crs. and those who have become settled
in their new occupations are helpiui
in finding openings for these who come
later. The insular limitations of Great
Britain and the sharp line of discrim'
ination drawn through families by the
law of primogeniture is giving this kind
of training larger value as the popu-
lation increases and the opportunities
for younger sons become comparative

this sort has yet been needed in this
country, but if our foreign depend
encies continue to increase we shall
have to engraft something of this kind
upon the system Of instruction now fur
nished by our agricultural colleges

GERMAN BEET SUGAR.
American Farmers Can Draw
Valuable Lesson.

Some figures taken from a sugar.
trade journal and republished by the
st. Louis Republic show what an as
tonishingly large quantity of sugar the
German beet farmers managed to
raise on a comparatively small quanti-
ty Of land during the crop year of 1897
ss. In this crop year there were 1885,
ESQ acres devoted to the cultivation of
sugar beets. The beets worked
amounted to 13,G91.S9 tons. In the Of
fetal table the average yield is set
down at 1920 tons per acre. Some de-
ductions are evidently made, for the
average really figures out l2.GS tons per
acre. Based on raw sugar the sugar
production is given as l,Sl4,309 tons.
This would make the yield average
5,763 pounds to the acre. These figures,
il the prevailing conditions of sugar
making in the United States could be
relied on rs permanent. would hold out
promise of profit to American ag-
riculturists. According to present in
formation the sugar manufactures in
she United States pay 81 TO $3.50 per
ron for sugar bects. Placing the beet
yield at 1929 tons per acre and esti-
mating the prices according to the
standard quoted, between $40 and SIS
would be realized for the sugar beets
produced upon an acre of land. This is
more than four times as much as the
average value per acre for wheat they
raised in 1897, when they had an un-
usually good demand and favorable
