An Important Question

y
fruit question. Horticulture has not
been a very interesting subject to
many people, and now they are at d
loss to know how to buy, orwhat to
buy, or who to buy from. 1t is OF
vital importance to buy good trees,
stock that is propogated TO bear
fruit, and not merely to sell. 1t is
not possible to detect all the defects
IN worthless trees until they either
bear fruit, or refuse to bear at all i,
then it is a costly experiment if a
failure. and it takes so long to cor
rect it. You can be morally GER
tain of the quality Of your fruit if
you buy them from men who have
established reputation in the hor-
ticultural world, 70. he must suffer
only in greater degree if you suffer
if he sells you worthless trees.
The time is past when scientific
horticulturist remain in obscurity
Obscure nursery men and tree deal
ers have imposed upon the credulity
of the people, and sold them worth
less stuff at exorbitant prices, until
mady think there are no honest nur-
serymen or statesmen. The well in
formed do not think so and are bet
ter prepared 70 protect themselves.
IL is not the fact that you have
bought your trees or paid high
prices for them. or what was told
you by the man who sold them to
you, nor how many times he prom
ised to replace them for you if they
did not prove the value of.the tree,
but it is the fruit they bear. Good
fruit can only be grown on good
trees. 1t is laudable ambition ex-
pressed by every buyer of trees,
that he wants the best for his own
family use.
Now, il he wants the best he can
get the best. How? Buy from men

union MEETING.
Large Congregation Attended
the Evening Service at Benefl-
cent Congregational Church

A large congregation attended the joint
meeting OF the Central and Benehcent
CONGREGATIONAL churches at the Beneft-
cent Congregational church last evening
to listen to addresses by Rev. Samuel B.
Capen, LII. D., of Boston, president OF the
American Board OF Foreign Missions.
and Rev. f. c. Moore. of this city.
The addresses were both interesting and
instructive and were listened to, with
great interest by the entire congregation.
The first speaker, Rev. DIR. Moore. was
introduced by the pastor Rev. James @.
Vose, ID. D., and in the course of his re-
marks he said he doubted II the recent
events in China had ever been paralleled
by anything in the history of civilization.
He doubted II any nation had ever be-
fore had the effrontery and Ignorance TO
attempt to defy all the other nations OF
the world and obstruct the march OF
progress as China had done.
He spoke impressively of the arduous
experiences Of the missionaries who. on
the Monday preceding the annual meet
ing at st. Louis, arrived In New York on
their return from China. He referred 10
their terrible journey TO ST. Petersburg
with scarcity of provisions and primitive
means OF transportation as one Of the
wonders OF our generation
To hear. he said. the story OF the IS
days siege OF Pekin and OF that Jour
ney 10 St Petersburg from their lips was
something that those who heard IL would
not soon forget
The work OF the missionaries In China
and in India and elsewhere, he said
called for the highest admiration that
could possibly be paid 10 any one.
The duty lay upon the people of this
country and OF the Christian world TO see
that the schools and missions were opened
again. and there would De seen such an
opening Of China as was never known be-
fore.

The spread of the work IN Turkey and

speaker
The total expense of administration of

DeraiIed on rlount Washington.

Two men employed on the Mount
Washington Railway had narrow es-
cape from death late Friday afternoon
They were descending the mountain at
terrific speed on what are termed slide
boards. Suddenly they sighted train
coming up the mountain and to avoid
collision each man applied his brake. The
slideboards were stopped so short as to
derail both, and the machines and men
went over the treste and fell to the rocks
below, distance of seventy.five feet.
How either escaped immediate death is a
marvel. The names OF the men are H.
N. Gilbert and John Camden, both of St.
Agathe, Canada. Gilbert sustained a
bad fracture of the skull and will rot re-
cover. He is married, is IS years old
and has a family in Quebec. Camden
had bad scalp wound and his system
sustained terrible shock. He will re-
cover. The perilous trip which Camden
and Gilbert were making down Mount
Washington is not new one for men of
daring to make. Many women have de-
scended in the same way. The slide
boards are torn of handcar, which run
on the cog-wheel road. The "boards"
are equipped with brakes, by which the
speed can be regulated the same as that
OF railroad trains in their descent. The
slideboards can be readily stopped, al,
though the brakes are usually applied
more gradually than was the case Friday.
The grade oil the Mount Washington
railway at one point is 1880 feet
to the mile, and the distance from
summit to base, which is three and one
half miles, is usually covered in four
minutes by the slideboards.

Everyone who plays or sings or who

A special portfolio is to be made part
of that issue, containing twenty-four
pages entirely devoted to music. 1t is
undoubtedly true that no newspaper
has ever given free to its readers with
one number so much music as this.
Some papers give one piece with an issue,
some incorporate one piece in the paper
itself; next Sundays Boston Journal is,
however, to give separate portfolio
twenty-four pages, to be devoted entirely
to music.
