|. PAINT IN THE FALL.
e
Fall painting is best; the
paint gets well seasoned be-.
fore the hot sun gets busy.
You want your paint to
last, and to protect your prop
erty. If you use Devoe ready
paint, you'll have both. /.
Lasts longer than lead and
oil; costs less. Devoe is a safe
name in paint things.
Ask your dealer for Deyoe; don't be
satiafied with less. Send for our pam
phlet about paint and painting; free;
things you ought to know.

Agriculture In Missouri Normal Schools.
The study of agriculture has al
ready been introduced into two Of the
State Normal schools of Missouri, by
the election Of separate teachers Of
this subject. The Normal at Cape
Girardeau recently elected Prof. r. w.
Clothier, a graduate Of the Kansas
Agricultural College to this work. The
Normal at Kirksville, Mo-, was SO well
pleased with the work of Miss c. r.
Jackson for the past year, that she was
reelected teacher of agriculture, but
she was granted years leave of alb

tural college, and Mr.. Luther Winches-
ter, one of the senior students from the
college at Columbia, was elected 70 I'LL

Outlook for rrss rru,t..

Scott Remington, Lenawee County,
Michigan: We have no pears and no
plums. Apples will be light crop;
but peaches promise we'll.
H. R. Kelsay, Miller County, Indi-,
ana: The outlook is for Is per cent Of
crops Of tree fruits. My own trees
promise good crops.
Geo. J.. Kellogg & Sons, Rock Coun-
ty, Wisconsin,. In this section the pros
poets for fruit are very poor. What few
apples there were have mostly dropped
because Of continued dry weather.
There will be light crop Of plums.
L. E. Hartwigs, Benton County.
Missouri: In the spring we had splen-
did prospect for big crop of fruit.
But the long continued drought has
completely ruined the peach crop. It
has caused the apples to drop badly,
and on the south side they are sun
scalded. The hot sun and wind togeth-
or have caused great many of the
young trees to die. A great many forest
trees have also persisted. Should we
have an abundance Of rain from now
on We would have enough fruit for
home use and perhaps some to sell.
G. P. Haskins, Cuyahoga County,
Ohio: Apples will give 10 per cent Of
crop; pears rs. Peaches will be a
fair crop, but there are but few or
chards here and there will not be
enough fruit for home consumption.
G. M. Johnson, Fulton County, I'LL
nois: The tree fruits In my locality will
not make one-half average crop. and
the quality will be very inferior.
L. G. Hubbard, Champaign County,
Illinois: Apples are very scarce. but are
smooth and fair. Peaches will be plenti-
full, but the dry weather is checking
their growth. Only a few pears have
set and the trees are blighting badly.
Wild goose plum trees are loaded with
fruit; others are stung badly.

Persons Who Desire to See Greenland
Must Get a Permit.
From the Montreal Herald.
Greenland Is governed in grandmother
ly way by Denmark, but, as 1t consists
Of group of colonies which would not
under any circumstances attract many
tourists or traders. no outsider complains
of the exclusiveness Of the Danish au
thorities. Trade always has been and still
is u,onopolized by the state, and only gov
eminent vessels are allowed to sail in
Greenland waters. For foreign travellers
also Greenland Is q closed country, unless
the traveller in question has beforehand
secured the rare distinction Of obtaining
the permission of the Danish government.
The monopoly of the trade Is said to pro-
tect the Greenlanders from being deceived
by INSCRIPTIONS merchants. The admins
tration settles fixed price both for the
goods the Greenlanders purchase and for
the products they sell. In this way all are
treated in the same manner, and the bust
ness being carried on by the state Is q
guarantee that the natives are not i'm
posed upon.
Furthermore, the members Of the admin
istration are enjoined to take care that
the natives do not leave themselves short
Of produce by selling more than they can
dispense with so that they are destitute of
needful food and clothing when the slack
time arrives. The native Greenlander
never has BEEN neither is he now able to
purchase a single drop Of spirits from the
administration.
The exchange Of goods between Green
land and Denmark is. as rule. carried on
exclusively by means Of the nine vessels
belonging to the Greenland Company, viz,
five briggs, three banks and small steamer,
having total register of about 1900 tons
net. Several of these vessels, which are
suitable for sailing through drift ice, make
two voyages year, and the steamer, as
a rule, three voyages. One of them, the

VALUE OF BRANCH LIBRARIES.
Experience In PittsburE in the Dis
tributiOn of Books.

Pittsburg Special In the Philadelphia Press.
The branch library system, first tested
in Pittsburg by Andrew Carnegie. has been
a wonderful success under the management
of the board of trustees. President W. n.
Frew who has given practically all Of his
time to the work Of the Pittsburg Car
negie Institute, is largely responsible for
the brilliant record which has been made.
The city of Pittsburg proper. with popu-
lation of $4,000 and with six branch IL
braries and the central library and insti-
tute, has Jared very well with this number
although each branch cost only one-half
the sum which 1t is proposed to devote to
the New York branch libraries. The cost
of the Pittsburg branch libraries, including
sites, has not averaged more than S4o,0oO,
while it is proposed to spend twice that
sum for each branch in New York.
1--WE imagined that when all the branch
libraries were established the number of
books taken from the central library would
diminish" said Mr.. Frew, but much to
our surprise the reverse has been the case.
Not only have the branch libraries been
literally patronized, but the number of
books taken from the main library has
greatly increased. 1t Is something which
we have been unable to satisfactorily exA
plain. The city Of Pittsburg is very well
supplied with its present number of
branches. Every part of the city Is reached,
and the only improvement that seems expe
dent might be a branch library for the
downtown district.
Mr.. Carnegie's library work Is slowly
changing the character of this city. and it
will so change the character of every city
which has received a library. Already
Pittsburg has felt the wonderful uplifting
influence and the change has but begun.
In a quarter Of century the social con-
trast with present conditions is bound to
be marked.
mot only are the people coming to the
libraries to secure books, but we have de-
vised various plans whereby the books are
brought to the people who need them most,
those who live in the tenements of the mill
districts, many of whom do not even know
that there is such thing library. 1t
Is with these that the greatest efforts are
made. and we reach them and their chill
dren in number OF ways. In the first
place we have what Is called the home
circulating library boxes. A donation OF
$25 provides a box which Will hold twenty
or thirty books. This lie placed In a neigh
borhood, some bright young girl or other
recommended person being made acting IL
brarian. The books are read by the cir
Gle Of boys and girls In that particular To-
cality and they are allowed to keep the
box. say. thirty days. At the end Of that
time the box OF books Is moved to another
part of the city after having been re-
placed by another box. In this way we
reach thousands Of people who. for reasons
of poverty or because Of sheer indiffer-
ence. would never think of going to 4 L.
brary. They get q taste for reading and
