PLUMS FOR MARKET.
There Are of Varieties, But
Only n Few Are Adapted for
General

The number of known species OF
plums run up into the hundreds. but
among those hundreds there are only
a few that it will pay to do much
with. But it requires a great deal of
experimentation to find out the best
that is in each species. Each species
in turn is made to produce innumer-
able varieties, which may be in turn
crossed with the seedlings of other
species. If all the new varieties were
named we would soon have chaos in
the nomenclature. In addition the
number of varieties would become so
great that the longest life would not
suffice to become acquainted with
them. 1t is, therefore, fortunate that
cutting out of varieties is continually
going on. Recently in walking
through a block of 500 Seeding plum
trees with Prof. Golf, of the Wiscon-
sin experiment station, he made the
remark that of those 500 trees, all
fruiting and bearing fairly good
plums, not more than a dozen trees
would be saved. The rest were to go
onto the brush heap. He says we have
too many varieties now, and that
most of the varieties men are at
tempting to grow should be discard
ed. This phase of the subject is of
interest to the plum student and is
an encouragement, for it justifes the
course of passing lightly over most
of the varieties or forgetting them
altogether and fixing the attention
on the few varieties that have been
proven to De good. For all practical
purposes, therefore, it is possible for
o man to become a plum expert with
out devoting an entire life to the
study.-Farmers' Review.

A rare collection of miniatures,
illuminations and etchings will short

are arranged in 100 glass cases. The
famous Vienna Genesis of the fifth

scene, having come to Vienna from
Russia. All poor people, they took
energetic measures 20 recover what
they considered their inheritance.
After extracting various sums from
Herr Yogi they proceeded to question
the validity of the will, in which they
were supported by Frau Danek, who
had also appealed to Herr Vogls
liberality, but without success. Final
ly the public prosecutor was informed,
and now, to the general surprise,
Herr Vogl was actually accused CT
fraud and arrested.
The charge, as stated by the public
prosecutor, was that Herr Vogl had
taken advantage Of Taubin's illness
and mental incapacity to exsort from
him, by continual importantly and
suggestion, words which would
amount in other circumstances to u
valid testamentary disposition. The
public prosecutor argued that the
words ''Vogl shall have it all" merely
amounted to a reflex muscular move
ment and were not the expression of
Taubin's real desire. The trial ac-
cordingly turned on the point whether
the words were spoken, as the public
prosecutor asserted, unconsciously,
and were, therefore, incapable of con-
stituting last will. or whether the
dying man was at the moment in full
possession of his faculties. as the wit
nesses of the will maintained.
Medical experts expressed the follow.
ing opinion: at can be said with all
the certainty that can be desired that
Taubin was then not conscious. and
was, therefore, incapable of making
testamentary disposition as he was
in state of delirium tremens." The
jury, however. this evening unani-
mously found Herr vogl not guilty,
and he was accordingly acquitted.

A STRANGE WILL CASE.
How Banker in Vienna Got For
tune and Was Accused.


Unusual interest has been taken
since Tuesday last in a trial before a
Viennese jury, which was concluded
on Friday. The public prosecutor de
scribed the case as one absolutely
unique in the history of criminal
isdiction-abnormal as regards the
nature of the accusation, the course
and character of the evidence, and the
personality of the accused. Stated
briefly, the history of the case is as
follows: For 20 years a Russian
named George Taubin resided in
Vienna, as to whose manner of life
various and contradictory stories were
told, but who was regarded by most
of his acquaintance as an eccentric.
He possessed considerable fortune,
his banker being Her Albert Vogl.
During the last years of his life Tau
bin seems to have taken to drink. On
April 23 last year he was brought
back to his lodgings in drunken con-
dition by some person unknown. The
next morning his housekeeper Frau
Danek, found him apparently very Ill.
AS he became worse during the follow
ing day Frau Danek sent for medi-
cal man, DR.. Schnurer, who found
Taubin's condition serious, and learn
ing that he had no relations in Vienna,
caused Herr Vogl, the banker, who
was described to him as friend IF
the patient, to be communicated with.
Herr Vogl came, and when he saw
Taubin's' critical state, knowing that
Taubin had once expressed an inten-
ton Of leaving his property for
philanthropio purposes, he suggested
to him that he should make will at
his banker being Here Albert Vogl.
sent for a lawyer, Dr. Theimer.
What happened after the lawyers
arrival is only known to that gentle
man, the doctor, and Herr Vogl and
his clerk, as Frau Danek and her son
were sent out of the room. But this
son declared that before he left the
room he heard the others urging on
the dying man the necessity of max
ing a will, and that Taubin cried TO
him: Help, help! They are robbing
mel"
According, however, to the unan-
imous evidence of the others, Taubin,
in reply to Herr Vogps question,
What shall be done with your
money!" replied, do what you like
with it." and then became uncCn-
scious. Upon this, they say, the
doctor administered several injections
) of camphor to restore consciousness,
! and when he had succeeded asked
him the question again, to which Tau
bin answered, "yogl shall have 1t all

! to Austrian law, to a valid verbal
testament.
Some hours afterward Taubin
died, and Herr Yogi, on the strength
of this verbal will, which was con-
frmed by civil court, received the
dead mans fortune, amounting to
about half a million krOnen. In
course OF time the relations Of the
deceased began to appear on the

LONDON PLEASURE GROUNDS.
There Are 800 and Opportunities for
Many More.

There are now in London and its
immediate neighborhood $50 public
recreation grounds, varying in size
from Epping Forest. which, with Wan
stead Flats, is over 5000 acres in ax-
tent, to little city gardens and play
grounds measuring an eighth or a
tenth of an acre. These include 100
plots of ground which have been used
for interment, parish churchyards
and other disused burial grounds, of
which the largest is Ii acres and the
smallest few yards square. Among
the recreation grounds are shady and
well-kept gardens with seats. flower
beds and fountains; public play
grounds fol children. provided with
gymnastic apparatus, giants strides,

vate parks and estates that have been

portions of the marsh lands and lam

We have 10 miles of the most vivid

the most fearsome declivity, and we
have cataract which we miss in the
