Grand Duke Carl Alexander of Saxe- Weimar is better and more favorably known for his friendliness and tender ness of heart than for his intellectual qualities.
 On a certain occasion the Grand Duke paid a visit of inspection to one of the prisons of kis domains. and in the course of conversation with the director of the institution expressed the wish to see one nf the criminals.
 Does your royal hiEhness wish to see a mild or desperate case?"

Perfect silence reigned for a whole hour, while the knight of the palette dil- igently went on with his work. At last the Bishop. becoming weary of the drcary inonotony. ventured to remark:

Fruit Trees Along the Highway.

A pleasant note commends what I
have said about growing fruit along
the highway. The Idea Is not new
one. and there has been considera BILE
done on this line In some sections Of
the United States. Some years ago
the railway companies In Algeria un.
dertook paintings along their lines of
railways. and the last report that
have seen gives US an estimate OF
100000 trees bearing fruit along these
iron roads. Out Of the 14.OOO.O 900 fruit
trees in Bohemia. 100000 are grow
Ing along the public roadside. There
are over GO0O miles Of streets planted
with the best sorts Of fruit trees. More
Of the same good work has been car
ried on In Germany. II Is said to be
an educator Of the people. Instead OF
destroying or wasting. the people con-

thing Of the kind. believe the use Of
the apple tree is most advisable in

The Raiiways OF Japan.

The latest railway returns of this
country show that there are fifty-eignt
companies whose total mileage Is 3761.
says the Nagasaki Japan Press. The
State-owncd railways have q mileage
Of 2064. The capital invested In these
undertakings Is 247.O53.l5O and 1884,.
559.4l3 yen. or the total mileage only
1888 miles and seventy-two chains arc
open to traffic. and the rest is either In
course Of construction or In q state Of
suspension. owing to lack Of working
capital. This remark applies with
equal truth both to the Government
and private railways. II is proposed to
raise the fares on the Government rail
ways to the maximum rate of three sen
per mile. as against the present scale Of
two sen. The highest cost Of coal, In.
creased wages Of employees and the in.
creasing number Of trains to be run
are quoted rs the principal reasons for
this step.

A Benefit to Farmers.

The benefits that will undoubtedly
result to farmers from the recent incor-
poration Of the International Harvester
Company which took over the business
of the five leading harvester manufac'
turers have probably not been cons'd'
cred by a large portion Of the farming
community.
The economical necessity Of a consol'
idation Of the interests Of manufactur'
ers and those Of their farmer custom
ers must be apparent to any one who
understands the present situation.
The increased and Increasing cost OF
material, manufacturing and selling
the latter In consequence OF extreme
and bitter competition between manu-
facturers and their several selling agents
has made the business Improbable.
The two alternatives left for the
manufacturers were either the increas-
ing Of the prices Of machines or the re-
duction Of the cost Of manufacture and
sales. The latter could only be accom-
plIsbed by concentrating the business
In one company.
As can readily be seen. the forming
Of the new company was not q stock
jobbing operation but a centering OF
mutual interests. There Is no watered
stock: the capitalization Is conserva'
tive and represented by actual and tan.
gible assets. There is no stock onereti
to the public. it having all been sub
scribed and paid for by the manufac'
turers and their associates.

Harvester Company Is In the hands OF
we'll known. experienced men.

1t Is believed that the cost OF produc-

machines will be so reduced that the

and that consequently the results can
not be otherwise than beneficial to the
farmer. To maintain the present prices
of these machines means to continue
and Increase the development Of the
agriculture Of the world. for no one
cause has contributed or can con.fib-
ute more to this development than the
cheapness Of machines for harvesting
grains.

Picking Potato sus. b, Machine.

Robert Manderfeld has devised q
machine for picking potato bugs which
seems to solve the problem thoroughly.
He took portions Of tanning mill and
installed them on low cart. rugged up
I mechanical device connected with the
wheels. hitched a horse to the wagon
and drove through the rows Of potatoes
In his field. The bugs are brushed of
the vines into receptacle. the labor Of
several men being saved by the
method. In two hours Mr.. Manderfield
gathered a bushel of potato bugs with
the aid of his machine.
