Fruit Growing a. a Business.

Fruit growing requires more head
work than most branches Of agricul-
ture. The farmer must understand
how 10 raise fancy fruits, and how to
sell them. II he cannot do either, he
must fail. IL is no noyice's work TO
raise 1ne fruits. There must be skill
and experience, a knowledge Of vari.
eties and species, and spirit OF enthu.
siasm which makes one strive for the
highest Brains ana labor combined
never counted for more than to-day
on the fruit farm. The man who pos
sesses the ability and push TO raise
fine fruits is in Il fair way TO make
something more than a good living.
1t is a good thing probably that the
incompetent are dropped out OF the
fruit business. Their failure Is an as
surance TO the reliable and intelligent
growers that they will make more
profit These ignorant nOvices give
the whole fruit business "A bad name.
1t Is not that they frighten others from
the business by their complaints. but
that they lower the standard OF market
fruits with their poor, half-matured
products. They actually demoralizc
some markets. which must inevitably
affect the goods OF those who have
been careful in their work. The sooner
we get rid Of the croakers In the fruit
business. the better II viii be FOR the
whole trade and we can afford 10 lose
them.-S. w. Chambers. in American

Muichins as a Plant Protection

Mulch the strawberry plants, If such
work has not been done. A mulch is
intended TO prevent sudden changes of
temperature in the soil. When plants
are not mulched the ground alternately
freezes and thaws more readily than
when the ground Is covered. Mulching
also protects against dry winds and
lack OF rain during the growing sea-
son. as the mulch on the plants may
be removed SO as only To cover the
spaces between the rows when winter
is over, thus also preventing growth
OF weeds, as well as saving labor.

Novelties in Hair Ornaments.

OF the many artistic designs IN hair
ornaments intended for present wear
that are equally suited 10 both the
high coiffure and low headdress, are
dainty, simple velvet bows and single
flowers. For high coiffures aigrettes

and for those who dress the hair low
jeweled or tortoise shell combs and a
bordeaux of pearls or turquoises give
an air of distinction 10 the wearer.
Silver ornaments were never pret-
tier nor more moderate in price than at
the present time. Jet is also a fad of

woman. Both bands and tiaras are

CARNEGIE PRAISES GLADSTONE
Speaks at the Opening Of Library at
Hawarden.

A dispatch from London vest erday SAYS:
The library at Hawarden, erected as a ma
tional memorial to the late William E. Glad
stone and which cost $50, COO was opened
by Earl Spencer today. The building stands
on the brow Of a hill, commanding a view
of the Dee, so greatly admired by Mr.. Glad
stone. 1t contains the statesman's valuable
collection of books. Crowds Of visitors at
tended the ceremonies. which commenced
with service in the church. conducted by
the Rev. Stephen Gladstone. Among the
speakers who paid tribute to the memory Of
the dead premier was Andrew Carnegie.
Gladstone" said Mr.. Carnegie, 'for
many years was not only the first In Great
Britain. but the first of the race The
whole world trusted him. 1 know of no
statesman dealing with international affairs
who carried into practice SO steadily the
often discarded truth that Righteousness
alone exalteth a nation
Mr.. Carnegie then quoted two Illustrations
Of Mr. Gladstone's "conciliatory wisdom"
SAYING:
First he agreed to arbitrate the differ
ence with Venezuela. which his successor
repudiated. But 1 believe the most memo
rable, and by far the most beneficent of all
his peaceful international triumphs was his
appeal to arbitration for the settlement of
the Alabama question. From the first to
the last of Gladstone's triumphs none ca n
compare in value to the removal Of the
prime obstacle to the restoration Of cordial
feelings Of kindred and race, which now so
happily exist between the old and new
homes of our race"
Mr.. Gladstone, the speaker asserted, had
thus erected an effectual barrier against
any future war between the United States
and Great Britain. He continued:
America halls Gladstone as the founder
OF assured peaceful arbitration Of all inter-
national questions between us. Washington,
Lincoln and Gladstone were types which
brought the peoples of the two countries
together In the patriotism Of race. Glad
stone was statesman with a conscience,
and held his patent Of nobility from the Al
mighty God"
