The True Mission of Luxury

No luxury is justifable that ends in
simple enjoyment. Ii must be turned to
good account by adding to our powers of
usefulness. If we enjoy reading, are W.
enthusiastic for the public library? l.
we enjoy outdoor life. are we anxious for
parks and pleasure grounds for the peo-
pie? If we revel in art or music, do we
long that picture galleries he thrown open
or good music he attainable by ali! Do
we strive, whenever possible, to share our

those less favored than ourselves Or
are we satisfied with our own enjoyment

special luxures are building up character
and life. or whether they are the means

century had closed without bringing n so
luton of the much-discussed question of
the ascent Of sap. One OF the suggested
explanations, he said, requires that in a

force must equal pressure of 500
pounds TO the square inch, but there is
no evidence that anything like such a
force exists in Il tree. This is one Of the

The peninsula, as the country lying be-
tween the Atlantic ocean and the Chesa-
peake bay is known in the fruit world,
was for years the source of the best
peaches in the markets. But, with the
advent Of the yellows and with the es-
adjustment Of peach orchards in other
localities, the interest for the fruit in the
peninsula has declined and with the de
cline fruit-growers have been asking to
what to give their land. Some growers
seem to have foreseen the need for
change in advance of the rest, and set
out apple orchards, and their success in
the abundant crops and good prices and
in the honors gained in the Paris compe-
tition have combined to turn the thoughts
appeward. The experiment station of
Delaware, too, has thrown its influence
in the same direction by top grating old

Among the many interesting objects on
board the battleship Indiana at the
League Island navy-yard, none is so highly
priced or more jealousy guarded as a
large silver punch bowl which was
struck by piece of shell during the bat
tie of Santiago. The punch bowl is the
largest piece of a magnificent set of solid
silver given to the battleship by the citi-
zens of the Hoosier state. Capt. Taylor,
who has recently been promoted to adj
miral, was then in charge of the indiana
aud promised that the silver should never
leave the vessel. The she'll fragment
was mounted by New York jeweler in
a silver bracket, the four legs of which
rest on the rim of the bowl The silver

quarters and is always under lock and

punch bowl serves as a constant remind
er of the combat in which the battleshiI
played SO glorious part.
