MILLIoN-DoLLAR ORCHARD.
Syndicate Formed to Plant 5000 Acres
in Lacledo County, Mo.
From the Kansas City Star.

From the Kansas City Star.
The largest apple orchard in the world is
soon to be planted in Laclede county, No.
a short distance from the main line of the
Frisco railroad. The land has already been
purchased by a syndicate promoted by resi-
dents of Des Moines, Iowa, and assisted BY
the Frisco railroad. One of the directors
in the new enterprise is Kansas City man,
William c. Carroll, who has had much ex-
perience in fruit raising in the Ozark region
Of Missouri.
"The largest orchard in the world today
is in the Ozark mountains, said Mr.. Car
roll yesterday. 1T has 1900 acres planted
In fruit trees. My company has purchased
5000 acres near Lebanon, Mo. We will
plant every acre Of it with fruit trees.
When the apple trees re-all bearing-which
will be about six years from now-we will
have the largest orchard in the world"
DO you not expect to receive any returns
from your investment before six years have
passed." was asked.
Eyes, we will plant $50 acres in peach
trees. Those will yield within about three
years If the seasons are favorable. The
peach crop is not SO sure as the apple crop,
and that is why we have decided to plant
most of the 5000 acres in apple trees.
While the apple trees are growing-that is,
during the next three or four years-we will
plant small fruits and grain between the
rows Of apple trees. By that plan our big
farm will yield a good revenue before We
gather the first crop of apples"
Mr. Carroll said the 5000 acres that will
be converted into an apple orchard are now
covered with wild forest trees.
1--WE have let the contract for clearing the
land" continued Mr.. Carroll. ''Horticul-
turists have found that land that is pro-
ductive Of good timber Is also good for
fruit trees. Whenever you see healthy vir-
gin forest that Is an indication that the
soil and drainage will produce good crops
Of fruit. We intend to plant fifty trees to
the acre. Only Jonathans and Ben Davis
trees will be planted. Most of the orchards
In southern Missouri have trees planted
sixty to the acre."
The capital stock Of the new company
will be $1.O00,0O0 In order to assist the
promoters Of the enterprise the Frisco
Railway Company has agreed to build a
spur track five miles long, running from the
main line near Lebanon through the orch
ard.

Clean Journalism Prospers.
From the Youths Companion.

From the Youths companion.
There are encouraging indications Of a
revival Of clean journalism. 1t is not
coming through the establishment of ZEN
dowed newspapers" Few practical news
paper men believe. in that agency for the
reform of deplorable newspaper tendencies.
The very fact that a, newspaper was en-
dowed would so far detach 1t from ordinary
conditions Of publication as to make It use
less as an example. Moreover, the exist
ence Of such newspaper would imply a
confession that a really clean and moral
journal was unprofitable; else why the en-
dowment?
1t Is not philanthropy that is wanted, so
much as business sagacity and q good news
paper sense Joined with high purpose. A
newspaper is not a moral tract, and cannot
be displaced by tracts. man who should
spend millions In endowing newspapers that
were too good to stand alone would not be
nearly 80 great "benefactor as the man
who demonstrated that clean newspaper
can be made to pay. - AhNr
This demonstration Is now being made in
several American cities. Some Of the most
successful newspapers repudiate altogether
the methods of the new Journalism" They
do not disfigure their pages with cheap
pictures, nor with huge blotches Of red ink,
nor with headings In type four inches high.
They do not pad three lines Of actual news,
transmitted by cable with halfra column Of
lurid details manufactured in the office, pre-
drae-net out for scandals; they show some
respects for rights of privacy. Yet their
news service is of the best. They are well
written and well edited; they appeal to
healthy minds; their circulation 10 large

A RARE PARSI MANUSCRIPT.
Presented to Columbia University BY
Parsis of India.

From the New York Mail and Express
About year ago an announcement was
made of rich gift to Columbia University
Of manuscripts of the Avesta. or Zoroas-
trian Bible, presented to Columbia by sew
eral Parsis of India, through their high
priest, Dastur Kaikhosru Jamaspji of
Bombay.
The browning gem of the collection has
now arrived in the form of sixth and
most precious codex Of the Zoroastrian
ritual, sent through the same distinguished
high priest. for Prof A. V. Williams Jack
son to present to the library Of the uni
versity.
This newest accession is manuscript
that is remarkable in many ways. 1t is
nearly 500 years old. and it contains the
Yasna, or Liturgy, including also Zoroas-
TRAN hymns that are still chanted by the
white-robed priests of the Indian Parsis.

especially valuable because 1t contains In
excellent form not only the original text
of the liturgy in the sacred Zoroastriar
language, but 1t is accompanied also by ar

The great codex Itself now comprises
100 folios, but three leaves have disappear

been missing generations ago. The manu-
script Is not bound, but consists literally
of fugitive leaves. simply laid between
sheets Of thin paper and often damaged o.

Rights Of the Husband.
From the St. Paul Globe,


The French courts have just established a
precedent which is full Of perplexing posi-
bilities both serious and ludicrous. A SOU
brette Of a Paris theater, pretty and garru-
lous, who had become annoyed by the atten-
lions Of the Johnny boys. asked as pro-
lection that her husband be permitted free
access behind the scenes. The manager,
urging that he could not afford to establish
such precedent for the several dozen other
husbands Of prima donnas soubrettes and
chorus girls, refused. The young woman
was persistent, and finally brought suit to
have her contract Cancelled and asked for
damages in a considerable sum.
The learned judge awarded the young
woman damages. and said he was bound to
take notice Of the fact that stage life sub
jects women, especially those who are pretty
Of face. and form, to special temptations,
and that the desire Of a wife to be protected
against such attentions il entirely legiti-
mate; that it is the husbands indisputable
right to protect his helpmeet, whether she
realizes the need Of such protection or not,
and therefore that a theater manager can
not deny husband access behind the scenes
OF theater or other place where his wife
performs, nor can the husbands right to
such access be signed away by the wife.

TOOL THAT IS ALMOST HUMAN
Yet Its Complicated Mechanism Can
Be Tended by Girl.

The most highly developed of machine
tools Is the aut omatic screw machine, and
like many other contrivances for saving
labor, its home is New England. 1t is a
development of the ordinary steel working
lathe, the intermediate step being the moni-
tor lathe, in which the various cutting
tools protrude from the side of steel tur-
ret-like 13-inch gun from q battle ship tur-
ret In the non-automatic screw machine
the turret is revolved by the operator so
as to bring each tool into play, just as the
turret on the old monitor was revolved to
bring one gun after another into action
But In the automatic machine the work is
done without human guidance.
In making screws, nuts bolts, studs and
other small pieces that must be turned,
drilled or threaded for watches. clocks,
other mechanisms all the operator has to
do is to feed the 'stock"-a long, thin rod
Of steel or Drastic the machine. The
feeding mechanism carries the rod slowly
forward into the field Of action. The tur-
ret advances and puts its first tool at work
on the end of the rod. When this tool has
done Its task, the turret withdraws 1t, turns
and advances a second tool into action.

turret automatically brings each Of per-
haps six tools into action, and when the
work Is finished the completed screw drops
into q pan, while the stock Is auto
matically fed forward to begin the COM
pick operation again. A stream Of machine
Oil pours continuously on the work to carry
away the heat, and the little metal cut

Hour after hour this wonderful automa-

screw machines constructed that an un-
skilled workman can operate row of
them. All he Is required to do is to keep
them fed with stock" In some shops
girls tend the machines.

NEW ORLEANS STATUES.
Two Inscriptions That Once Astonish.
ed q Northern Visitor.

From the Boston Transcript.
THE first time ! ever went to New Or
leans" said George E. Roberts, the director
of the mint, Il paused before the statue OF
Henry Clay in Canal street to read the in
scription. To my surprise 1t was an ex-
tract from one of his early utterances,
while member Of an old emancipation So
ciety, on the evils Of slavery. He avowed
himself in this extract as desiring above
everything else to see the great stain of
slavery removed from this country. His
words. II remember them correctly, read
about like this:
eff ever I could eradicate this stain of
slavery from the annals Of our country, l
should deem it the greatest triumph that
could ever be decreed by the greatest con-
Queror.
II was considerably surprised at such an
utterance in New Orleans, especially when
! found from the date, that this statue had
been erected In his honor In 1856, when the
slavery question was at it's height. walked
along q little way further and came to a
statue of Andrew jackson, erected about the
same time, upon which I read in stirring
words: Our federal Union; it must be pre-
served This was too much for me! stopped
a native Of the city and asked him If these
were the inscriptions placed on the monu-
ments at the time of their erection. oh,
no. he replied. we hadn't done much in
marking the pedestals when Gen. Butler
came down here to. take charge of the city
and felt 1t his duty to familiariZe the peo-
pie here with some Of the sentiments of
their chosen idols on such live questions of

that the text books in international law
have never treated" continued Mr.. Rob-
erts. 1T was certainly huge Joke, and
one very characteristic Of its author. No
body but Butler would have thought to do
this.
'Since that visit the Clay statue, to make
way for some new street car tracks, has
been removed and a new inscription cut
upon it, which reads as follows: This
statue Of Henry Clay was erected in 1856
on Canal street at the intersection of Royal
and st. Charles streets, and was removed
to Lafayette square in 1907 There was
