watcrme1ons Are Fruit.

Some men have never been willing
to class the luscious 'watermillion'
as vegetable and on this point the
United States government has been
forced to come to the darky's point
of view. The decision has been made
by the general board of appraisers
on case arising at Nogales upon
the right to import melons as veg
etables. The board decided that ''the
melon is known technically, popular
ly and commercially as a fruit and
therefore dutiable." The same view
is taken technically by the depart
ment of agriculture and we may now
rest assured that the status of the
watermelon. muskmelon, canteloupe
and their whole kindred has been
raised few points officially and per
manently. Indio may now claim to
be one of the most promising fruit

MARRIAGE FEES.
Fitzgerald, of Nashville,
Tennessee.

Bishop A. p. Fitzgerald, of this
city, tells two stories of his own ex-
periences in marrying, and of the
fee he received in each case. He
says, reports the Nashville Ameri-
can:
Zone day during my residence in
San Francisco, when I was disabled
by dislocated shoulder joint, it sud
denly came to my remembrance that
l had note in bank for $3.50 that
fell due at that very date. While
was bordering on some words OF
Christ bearing upon such emergen-
cies in a believers life, there was a
knock at the front door. A man and
woman were admitted by the serv.
ant.
"'We have come to be married by
you, DIR. Fitzgerald said they, and
hope you are physically able to per.
form the ceremony. We saw from
the newspapers that you had been
hurt and disabled by an accident

self able to go through with the de.
sired service.

"'Will that do?' he asked, placing
the money in my hand. Then they
took their departure, both looking
triumphant and happy. On counting

Good Luck Brings Bonus.

Foreign steamship companies have
a rule by which the pay of captains
and engineers is increased where nc
accidents occur for year. On the
British steamship lines the captains
receive from e3OO to e1,2OO a year
without perquisites. If, at the end
of the year, British commander
boat has met with no accident he
gets a bonus. The British lines think
this system of reward has a tendency
to make cotnrnanders more careful
The pay of an engineer on the Ger
man lines ranges from e24O to SOC
year. The pay of the British en-
gineer does not differ materially
from these figures, but he also re-
ceives a bonus if his engines rur
without accident during the year.

Carl was taken down with the fever
the night before last. He has been
steadily growing worse. Will you go
right up and see him now?"
Mrs. Ward led the way, and Barbara
followed, feeling strangely depressed
as if in anticipation of some great
trouble. She sat down by Carl and the
child knew her.

she had often given him, "are you glad
to see Barbara? am so sorry you al e

'You come to stay?" asked Call,
speaking with great difficulty.
''TIl stay with you awhile" Barbara
answered, glancing at Mrs. Ward, who
was at the foot of the bed.

Carl repeated, slowly.

piled Barbara, who in the passage
from home to the Wards had really

Then Barbara saw that she was worn
out with care of Carl for two nights,

AS Barbara walked away from the
Wards that afternoon, she fully
thought that Ler social experiment
was finally over, and that she might
as well write "Finis" to the dismal
attempt she had mace to solve even
small part of such a complex prob
lem. But before she had covered the
short distance between the Wards
and her mothers, she experienced a
feeling of remorse that she had given
way so miserably to her passion in
the interview between Mrs. Ward and
herself. She even hesitated at the
corner before she started down the
street leading home as if she had
some serious intention of going back
to ask Mrs. Ward to receive her
again. But It was only a moments
pause, and then she went on and en-
tered the house, where she soon told
her mother the whole story. There
were tears on Barbara's cheeks when
she finished.

MRS. RICHARD WARD"
Barbara went out to the sitting
room at once and showed the note to
her mother.
"Of course, 1 will go right over
there" Barbara said, as she put on her
hat.
"Will you stay if Mrs. Ward asks you
TOP" her mother asked, with a tone
which conveyed curiosity mingled with
discussion.
81 don't know" Barbara hesitated.
81 don's think she will ask me to come
back"
81 think she will, replied Mrs. Clark.
''And my advice, Barbara. is that you
say no. can't bear to think of you as
finally becoming nothing but a serv-
ant"
Barbara oId not answer. She said
good-by to her mother and started for
the Wards. On the way her mothers
last words smote her again and again.
Nothing but a servant!"
Was it, then, so low a place
for a human being to fl -

rendered was a necessity to a fam

could be characterized as nothing

then, in the world? Was it worth more
to the world to paint pictures, or to
sell dry goods, or teach school, or
spend time in eating and drinking apa
dressing up for parties as so many
rich and fashionable people in society
did AL the time? We're these things

In a recent article on the origin Of

Blake-a most adequate authority on
the subject-remarks that the gorge, so
grand and impressive, Is. In fact. only
a minor feature of the glacial workings
above 1t through hundreds Of square
miles of the Sierra. Professor Blake
thinks that the ice must have filed the
gorge. and much above 1t. to thick.

scarcely be imagined; for untold ages.
too, this mighty force was at work,

through which 1t passed.
The character of the Yosemite rock
being granite, close grained and verti-
cal in structure, with points of easy
fracture, it would appear that, as the
great mass Of ice bore down upon this
vertical rock, it was broken and knock

at the places of easy cleavage. Thus,
according to Professor Blake. the prec-

The order of "Don't Knock" was
incorporated in Buffalo a couple OF
months ago and report has it the or
ganization has grown rapidly. The
organization is not joke. 1t has a
serious purpose. Among other things
it's constitution states: "We believe
that In most instances knocking Is
done thoughtlessly and even those
who knock maliciously and with evil
intent would refrain II they would
give a thought to the possible con-
sequences Of the act. "We be.
lleve that simple little knock
unthinkingly made sometimes grows
to such proportions as to be
more cruel and dangerous than the
plunging OF sharp knife into the vi.
tails of the victim. "We believe that
many people Judge others by their
own standard, and that because
they are not tempted or are able
to resist doing some particular thing
that they consider wrong, they
feel themselves warranted in despia-
ing and criti Using those who are
weaker than themselves or whose
opinions differ with their own. In
other words, this order is prac .ical
exemplihcation of St. Paul's rule Of
charity. And it implies, so we are

to communities. Members are pledg-
