Apple Trees For Beauty.

Apple trees are so beautiful, even
when bare of bloom end fruit, that
they should be grown in pleasure
gardens, like lilacs and laburnums.
Tennyson speaks Of orchard lawns,
and there is no reason except bad
taste why they should not have a
real existence. The gloom of the fir
tree, magnificent no doubt in its own
northern forest, is mere incongruous
dreariness when it is dotted about a
suburban lawn. Nothing will thrive
under it, and often it will not thrive
itself, but the apple, with all the as
ISOLATED beauty Of Il countryside,
gives us fruit and BLOSSOM and CRATE
full shade In the gr IS under it will
grow daffodils, columbines, irises and
many other plants. Or it may be
trained as a hedge to divide one part
Of the garden from another, and with
all these uses may still produce great
crops of fruit. 1t would be a pleasant
task for the suburban gardner with
his half-acre of ground to grow three
or four choice apple trees with the
care that others give to roses.

We know what the cloud was for Noah

do with him. and cloud in Noah's day
was not unlike the cloud OF yesterday;

1t would make one heartsick to read the
history of sin. First, in the world, begin

the bowling mob about the cross on Cal

when the whole world seems to be touched
with its power, the most terrible thing in
the world is sin. Second, in the home,

God meant to be a safe vessel to carry ia
through the turmois and strife ever round
about US. Third, in our own heart, giving
us wrong conceptions Of God, and drag
ging US toward hell, even against our will.

same thing. No one ever yet has had a
true vision of Jesus Christ with the least
particle Of sin in his heart OF life Blessed

A poor fellow converted in one of the
missions in Chicago, who was thought be-
fore his conversion to be hardly worth the
saving, was so wonderfully transformed
that a committee waited upon him to find
the secret Of his changed life. He answered
their question in just one sentence:
Il have seen Jesus.

CUBAN SECURITIES COMPANY.

The Cuba Securities Company. which
has been Incorporated by the state of
New Jersey with a nominal capital of
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
is formed for the purpose of developing
the resources of the eastern provinces
of Cuba. It's territory will embrace
that portion of the island lying east of
the famous Spanish trocha, draw to
keep the Cuban forces from invading
the other provinces. h company will
not carry On any operations of its own,
but will confine it's labors to securing
franchises for. organizing and financinr
other concerns. A. G.. Johnson, the
president of the company, says that 20

ny will take under it's fostering care
will require the building of railroads,
erection of sugar mills, establishing
mining plants. etc. The Securities
Company will look to the forming of
these companies and their financing, it
Of course to make it's money by way OF
commissions in return for it's financial
backing. Mr.. Johnson says to thor
oughly organize and equip a sugar
plantation will cost about a million n
a half dollars.
This company will work in harmony
with the Cuba Company, which alreadw
has railroad and other concessions n
this part of Cuba. These two con-
Germs are controlled by Americans and
Englishmen. The latter company is al
ready at work and has recently opened
it's railway line from Santiago to Santa
Clara, a distrance Of three hundred and
fifty miles.
If the intentions of these companies
are as given to the public it will be Il
great thing for the island. While Cuba
is one of the richest countries in the
world in natural resources, the inhab
tants are too poor to develop them AMI
they must lie dormant until outside ap-
ital is employed.
If the undertaking proves a success
the promoters of the financing scheme
will. of course. MAKE immense profits,
and the affair may take on somewhat
the conditions of a monopoly; but this
is better than no development at all II
these hidden of mine, forest
and field. The Cubans should give all
encouragement to these foreigners who
come to them with money and enter
prise for the building UP of the waste
places in their island, while at the
same time protecting themselves by
proper legislative safeguards against

these big money combinations.
