California Crowding CASTLE.

Among other incidents of "the
American invasion" of European mar
kets the carrying of California fruits
to London and Paris in successful
competition with what would seem
to be the naturally superior facilities
Of Spanish fruit-growers is not the
least astonishing.
Paris is not quite 500 miles distant
from Valencia, the great fruit-ship-
ping port Of Alphonso's fruity king
dom. Yet, says a Valencia paper,
"California oranges, peaches, apples
and pears reach Paris, after travers-
ing 5000 miles, in more attractive
and appetizing condition than ours"
1t goes on to say:
I'VE can compete with America only
by employing her methods-improved
cultivation, harvesting and packing,
cold storage and rapid, safe transpor-
tation. CASTLE was once called the
granary of Europe, yet we have lived
to see foreign wheat, after paying
heavy transportation taxes, protective
duties and an adverse premium Of
thirty-fve per cent. in exchange, COM
peting with our homegrown cereals.
Shall we live to see American oranges
competing with ours on the Valencia
market itself?"
And SO it goes all along the line.
American ingenuity and hustle" are
compelling the steelmakers Of Britain
and the fruit-growers of Spain alike
to admit that they must initiate US to
save their trade-New York World.

Enect of an Added Flower.

Pinned to the front of one of the
picturesque straw hats worn this year
by horses was big artificial red rose,
making this. horses cone-croWned,
red-trimmed slouch hat more striking
still; but yet more striking, seen on
q horses head, was a woman's old,
discarded bonnet, that looked as
though it might have been found In
the old stuff stored away in some
closet or fshed out Of some such re-
fuse set out on the sidewalk to be
carted away.
This bonnet was Of some sort Of
skeleton construction, that the wind
would blow through, and it was
trimmed with artificial flowers. Old
as it was, this was the most novel
thing in horse millinery seen in day,
and it suggested how the street might
look if all such cast-off and discarded
but not yet thrown away hats Of one
epoch and another could now be
brought out to be worn by horses

Hans Jensen, a Dane, recently ap-
peared before the magistrate Of the
District Court held in Garnett, Kan,
to be naturalized. At the close of the
usual examination the Judge asked the
applicant: "Hans, are you satisfied
with the general conditions in this

Hans, "only I would like to see more

the judge. II perceive you already

Deer in Massachusetts.

The electric car which leaves Will
Transport for North Adams ran Into q
deer on the back road to Williamstown
a few night ago. The car was gong
at a slow rate of speed up the hill
when 1t came upon the deer grazing
beside the car track. The animal did
not move until the car was nearly to
It, when it leaped directly in front Of
It. The ear struck it and hurled 1t
from the track, but evidently did not
injure it badly, as the deer jumped up,
leaped a wire fence, and disappeared

Feeding m Obstinate Ostrich.

The ostrich which the King sent
from Windsor to the Zoo some time
ago, has shown his disapproval Of his
change Of quarters by going off his
feed. To prevent him committing Sui
eide by starvation the keepers have
consequently found it necessary to
resort to a process of "stuffing."
While one keeper holds the bird in a
corner another. with deftness gained
by long practice, seizes the upper part
of the beak with one hand and causes
the ostrich to open his mouth. Then
he thrusts down the unwilling throat
a large ball Of nourishing food, and
the ostrich is left to digest it at
leisure.-LOndon Express.

GOODNIGHT.

Goodnight.
The tiny stars peep out on high;

Goodnight.

The hearth-fres flicker, and then die,
While prayer is raised to God on high:

Wen gently whisper as we die,

Woman's Fancy Blouse.

The white silk blouse trimmed with
lace in bolero is a marked and de-
served favorite of the season, and is
becoming to by far the greater num-
Der of figures. The very pretty May
Manton model shown includes a big
fancy collar and is made Of white In
dia silk, with trimmings Of lace r2-

worn with a big white ribbon bow
and narrow black velvet necktie, but

About year ago the editor of the

ing well. AS result of this impression
there appears in the August LIST issue of
the Machinist an article on Homes of
American Workmen," Illustrated by
eight views from pictures taken by W.
H. Sargent of this place. Speaking of
these homes, the Machinist writer SAYS,
among other things: "The remarkable
neatness of everything outside of the
house tells of the industry of the owner
IN his leisure hours away from he shop,
for most of the work of caring for the
grounds and surroundings is done by
the,man himself. The houses compel us to
believe, what is to the fact, that the in.
side OF them correspond with the out
sides. They are well and amply furnished
with pictures and books and musica
instruments and the things that make
for solid home comfort"

Enjoyable Field r1eeting.

The field meeting of the State Board
of Agriculture and Shepherd Pomona
Grange, at Lyndonville last Saturday,
was an interesting and instructive affair
for all who attended, and quite number
OF excellent points were thrown out by
the speakers. The program as printed
was carried out, with the exception that
Mr.. Aitken OF the State Board was
unable to be present.
National Grange Master Jones OF
Indiana spoke on topics of special
interest to the farmer, including laws
looking to his protection, and held up
the farmers calling as one into which
he might wisely put the best there was
in him.
Ernest Hitchcock a member of the
Board, spoke especially OF the dairy, and
held that the dairyman ought not hest.
tate to buy great deal OF grain aside
from that which he raised. Mr.. Hitch
cock claimed that the records prove that
the dairyman who buys generously o.
mill iced and deals it out to his cows il
reasonable measure is more sure O.
profitable results than he who tails tc
do this.

The Academy.

The vacancies in the corps Of instruct
ors caused by the resignation of Mr..
Cummings and Mr.. Castor have been
filled by the appointment of two men
of marked ability in their respective
departments, Edwin c. Lewis and Ru.
fus T. Stephenson.
Mr.. Lewis is a st. Tohnsbury man, a
graduate of the academy in 1897 and of
Yale College in 1901. His college stand
ing on all subjects was exceptionally
high and it is interesting to note that,
when the members of the Yale faculty
were asked to appoint one man from
each department to go as teacher to the
Philippines, Mr.. Lewis was one Of the
men thus chosen. This action on the
part of the college authorities is a
marked endorsement of his scholarship
and general capacity and augurs well
tor his success.
Mr.. Stephenson comes to St. Johns.
bury with fine record both as student
and as teacher. He is a graduate OIL
Drury College, class of 1899, and has
taught two years with great success
He is energetic and enthusiastic in his
teaching. DR.. Fuller, formerly principa
of St. Johnsbury Academy and now

Shows are due in St. Johnsbury on Fri

parade good one, for Mr.. Main enjoys
an excellent reputation in Wilkesbarre,
and when he announces his appearance
here the circus goers all know they are
going to see a gilt-edged article--Fash-
ion Plate, Mr.. Main calls it, and an APP
propriate name it is. too. None OF those
who went to West Side Park this after
noon to see the show was deceived, for
despite the uncomfortable weather con-
ditions, the program was given in its
entirety. The audience was large one,
and all OF its acts, being OF a superior Or
der, were genei ously applauded. The
program included wonderful pedestal
act by Professor Dockrill with 63 horses
and Madame Marantette, with her
jumping horses and ponies, one of which
has record Of leaping over hurdle
seven feet four inches high.
"The show throughout, including the
sideshow, the menagerie and the circus,
is managed excellently, Especially no.
ticeable was the courtesy shown pat
rons, feature which was especially APP
preciated, more so because the day was
disagreeable, which no doubt prompted
the attaches to put forth a more than
usual effort to see that everybody was
made as comfortable under the circum-
stances.
"At the conclusion of the afternoon
performance all present agreed that Mr..
Main has improved his show wonder
fully in all its departments since its last
visit here-a fact which demonstrates
that his Fashion Plate show will always
be welcome visitor iu Wilkesbarre."
