LOOK TO THE QUALITY.
When Buying Nursery Stock he Care
ful to See That 1t Has Been
Properly Raised.

1t costs great deal of money, great
deal of time and a great deal of ex-
perience TO grow plants properly
and these are facts which more in
telligent persons are beginning to re-
alize. The prices of plants to-day have
not been lowered by improved meth
DDS and better knowledge; instead,
better plants are grown, both in kind
and in condition, at greater expense
to the producer and to the purchasers.
Certain kinds of stock can be grown
with the greatest ease and consequent
cheapness, and unbelievers having this
class in mind often fail to recognize
quality. The Carolina poplar has been
instrumental in deceiving the public
as to the value of trees. Only couple
of years are required to rear a tree
Of respectable size for transplanting,
and the cost is but few cents. They
can be grown on almost any ordinary
nursery ground, and need little or no
care. How different with an oak. or
even Norway maple, where five to
ten years are inevitably spent in get
ting the seeding to a suitable selling
size! And what of the labor in trans
planting, pruning and Strengthening?
Is it possible to bring the three plants
into competition except as regards
quality and desira bility? 1t is here
that the nurseryman meets with dis
couragement, and he is tempted to
sell cheaply and cut down his ex-
penses correspondingly, to the
detriment of his stock. Training,
health, vigor and careful handling
make tree that gives satisfaction to
the purchaser and make him ignore
the extra expense, and this more gem
orally recognized will bring more con-
fidence between the nurseryman and
his customers in their dealings.-Mee-
hams Monthly.

they are more readily directed than

Newest Sensation mt Saratoga Was
Furnished by Wife of N New
York Contractor.

AS at Newport, the pretty women
at Saratoga are racking their minds
in .,earch of fads that may divert
their friends and help to pass the
time.
Nobody in Saratoga is likely to
give a monkey dinner and the fish
suppers at the lake are not suscep-
tible of elaborate variation, but
novelties in driving rigs have ap-
peared on Broadway that oyershad-
Uw anything ever seen on Bellevue
avenue, Newport.
The three horses abreast, driven by
Mrs. Barnes-Allin, have created a
sensation such as Saratoga has not
known for many years. William C..
Whitney's double team of chcstnuts
is superior to anything seen on the
Lake road since the days of the elder
Nanderbilts.
In the search for a special sen&a-

FACTS ABOUT CUBA.
Only Three Per Cent. of Area of Es-
land and Only Fen Per Cent. OF
Farms Under Cultivation.

From recent bulletin issued by
the United States geological survey,
entitled, "a Gazetteer of Cuba" COM
piled by Henry Gannett, geographer,
the following suggestive facts re-
garding the island are taken:
With an acreage of $4,000 square
miles and a population in 1899 of
1,572,797, only 3 per cent. of the area
OF the island and only 10 per cent. of
the area in farms was under cultiva-
tion. The most highly cultivated
portions of the island were in Man
tanzas and HAVANA provinces, which
lie adjoining in it's western part,
while in Puerto Principe, the large
central province, was comparatively
slight and the land was used mostly
for cattle ranches. The crops, in the
order of areas cultivated, were; first,
sugar cane, occupying somewhat less
than half of the cultivated area;
next, sweet potatoes, occupying IL
per cent. of the area; tobacco, 8 per
cent and bananas a trife less than 9
per cent. Tobacco and sugar were
grown in all the provinces. In 1899
there were in Cuba 207 sugar mills,
with a daily production of -61, ,4O7
bags.
Light is thrown on the depopulat-
ing effect of war in Cuba by the
comparison of the census of 1899
with that of 1877. In the latter year
ii was 1851 ,GS7, or $4,000 more than
IL years later, in 1899. Allowing for
the probable increase in the popula-
tinn haf Al
in which the insurrection broke out,
the loss of life, as indicated by the
two censuses, may be estimated at
nearly 100000, loss to be attributed
to the war and the accompanying
recommendation.
The bulletin is accompanied by
maps and charts, and contains nearly
1000 geographic names.

of modern times, her popularity be-
ing said to exceed that Of even that
much sung queen, Carmen Sylvia.
Marie Amelia is possessed of a
character as remarkable for it's low
able positive qualities as that of her
royal spouse is for its disagreeable neg
atiye traits. She is woman of strong
character and high intellectual pow
er, generous, quick witted, far-see-
ing. She is a close student of hu-
man nature, or, rather, has an intu-
tive perception of it; she is a sci
enlist of high standing, is a grad
uate in medicine and an expert
upon matters of hospital nursing and
sanitary cooking. The fact is, Queen
Marie Amelia is a most eXtraor-
dinary woman. Her distinction of
being the only royal NJ. ID. in the
world is but one of her many unusual
attractions. Although a dcvotee of
quiet domesticity and a model wife
and mother, she is thoroughly mod
ern in her beliefs, and has the cour-
age necessary to reduce these beliefs
to actions. She is an exponent of
common sense in the matter of dress,
and has succeeded in elevating pub
lie opinion in Portugal to that height
where tight lacing is considered low
taste, unfashionable and immoral.
With all this she is artistic, and has
the reputation of being one of the
most tastefuIly gowned princesses in
Europe.
Queen Marie Amelia is generous to
fault She not only refuses to ac-
cept from the government one cent
of the princely allowance made her
each year, but she spends more than
threetourths of her magnificent for
tune Inherited from her father and
his family, n-charities and humani-
ties for the poor of her realm, which
charities are as original and inter-
esting as is their royal author. They
include among other things eXperi-
mental stations for the production
of the serum of diphtheria, from
which dread disease Portugal suf-
fers more than any other country
of Europe; a model sanitary bakery
for the poor; hospital and free dis
pensary for stricken women. The
queen who is an authority on these
subjects, is a personal and intimate
friend of Florence Nightingale, to
whom she has paid several visits, and
with whose ideas she is in full ac-
cord. In fact, it may be partly due
to this influence that the queen has
made efforts so persistent and so
we'll directed that the hospitals and
charitable institutions of otherwise
decadent Portugal are in so flourish
ing a condition.
Adored by her own people, be-
loved of English society, worshfped
in Paris, Queen Marie Amelia is one
of the handsomest, wisest, most low
able and noblest queens of Christeu.
dom. If a sovereign's possession of
these virtues may constitute the
safety of a people, Portugal need
have no fear for the present.

Goats as Orchard CIraner.

There is no worse animal to put
into an orchard than the goat, be-
cause lie is a browser of the truest
type, but for preparing brush OF
timbercd land that is to be put into
orchard or any kind of fruit he has
no equal. No doubt, the Angora is
the most profitable to keep, but any
kind of scrub goat will eat brush
and weeds, and this is the desirable
point for the man that wants his
land cleaned of all woody growth.

Food for Nervous PerSons

As a rule, salt meat is not adopted
to the requirements Of nervous peo-
pie, as nutritious juices go' into the
brine to a great extent. Fish of all
kinds is good for them. Raw eggs.
contrary to the common opinion, are
not as digestihle as those that have
been well cooked. Good bread, sweet
butter and lean meat are the best
food for the nerves. People troubled
with insomnia and nervous starting
from sleep, and sensations of falling,
can often be cured by limiting them
selves to a diet of milk alone for n
time. An adult should take a pint at
a meal, and take four meals daily.
People with weakened nerves require
frequently larger quantity of wa
ter than those whose nerves and brains
are strong. 1t aids the digestion of
these by making it soluble, and seems
to have direct tonic effect,-Science

one bottle of Peruna and was well.
Then my two children had bad
coughs accompanied by gagging. Ny
wife had stomach trouble for years.
She took Peruna and now she iswell.
II cannot express my thanks in
words, but | recommend. your remedy

article in my medicine chest. 1t is
twenty medicines in one, and has so
far cured every sickness that has been
in my home for five years. l consider
it of special value to weakly women,
