Gentlemen from both sides of the
line may talk at banquets about the
prospects of anneXing Canada, but
when sober they know that no such
prospect exists. Other considerations
aside, annexation would deprive our
Canadian friends of the comfortable
revenue which they now enjoy from
American embezzlers, absconders and
all-round scoundrels who seek shelter
in the dominion and pay literally for
1t. That consideration alone renders
all talk of annexation idle.

Probably there are few men who
have not sometimes wondered what
they would do if they should suddenly
be confronted on a dark night in a
dark street or at the mouth of a dark
alley by a real, live robber who should
shove pistol at them and command
them to throw up their hands. What
ever decisions different men may have
come to as a result of these specula-
tons 1t is quite certain what the av-
erage man would do under such cir
cumstances. He would throw up his
hands as quickly and as high as he
could and with very little protest
would allow his new acquaintance to
divest him of all his change and any
other articles that the gentleman of
tho road might find on him and want.

Unforbidden Fruit.

Atlanta Journal: If you nave not eaten
any fruit today you have done violence
to your digestion and nave run the risk of
impairing your health.
There are thousands of men and wom-
en- who are within easy reach of orchard
and fruit gardens. or Of fruitstalls, who
sit down each morning to q heavy, greasy.
fried breakfast, which taxes their digest
i've organs to the utmost. Many of them
never take fruit at all except in the form
of pie"
So says the health oracle in the Youths
Companion. That authority a
barrel or two of apples in the cellar as a
solution of the fruit problem in winter.
The idea is an excellent one. There Is
something very wholesome and honest
and sociable about an apple. n we re-
gard it as very fine food. We differ with
the Companions oracle, however, when he
states that apples ''are best raw" We
think that the opposite is the case. Raw
apples are not nearly SO digestible as
when baked or stewed; and, to our taste,
are not SO palatable. But de gustibus, etc.
The apple is the most democratic of all
fruits. The pomegranate is priestly; the
grape is royal; the orange is luxurious;
the peach and pear are plutocratic; but
the apple belongs to the populace. It is
| symbolic Of the country store and the
corner grocery. 1t breathes the free spirit
of tbs American township and village. it
has a favor of the old New England and
yet a pungency as of the south and mid
die west. 1t Is mild, palatable, nourishius.
and promotive Of good fellowship and long
life.
Let US all lay In a barrel o. good an.
pies for the winter evenings.

Trees on Mountain Top,

A party from the United States for

the government experts, will plant a
large humber Of trees on the stones of
Plkes Peak and the neighboring noun

Miues of Grnat Men

London World: Lord Salisbury's
death has brought to mind the great in
luence exercised upon both his private
and public life by his wife. The most
~unassuming of women, Lady Salisbury
possessed the great faculty of giving
encouragement to and inspiring en-
thusiam in others, and her tact and
Judgment were unerring. AS q wife
she proved q helpmeet indeed to the
man who r1sked his fathers ire in
marrying, as a younger son, q lady who
possessed neither beauty nor wealth,
and, moreover, was not of his own So
cial rank. She made an ideal poor
man wife, for at the time of their
marriage Lord Salisbury, her Lord
Robert Cecil, was working hard to earn
an income, n she was equally sue
cessful as the wife of one of E%ngland's
greatest statesmen. A woman who can
have played two such parts as to win
the sincere approval II devotion Of
her hushrnd must indeed have pos
sessei high qualities. When one comes
to think 1t over great Englishmen have
in many notable instances possessed
wives Of strong and sweet character,
who In most cases have not been wom-
en- OF. great mental attachments. A
man of distinction. whether he is a
statesman, poet. painter of scientist,
does not want a blazing star at mis-
side. 1t Is the gentle. t%actful, resource
full woman who stands him in good
stead, whose value Is not patent to
every chance acquaintance, who de-
sireS not glory for herself save cnly
hat of keeping her husband true to
his best self and of making her children
/ worthy of their father.

AGRICULTURE OF THE SOUTH.
II Is More Scientific Than Many Writ.
ers Supose

southern Farm Magazines: 1t Is anus
ing to gee how often northern writers will
attempt to bclittle the agricultural inter-
csts OF the south without having any in
formation concerning the subject uDon
which they write.
This Is exemplitied by the statement Of
q recent influential paper that the only
plow used in the south is a bull plow.
The same paper says that there are no
cultiyators or horse hoes or garden rakes.
1t generously asserts that a turn plow
may occasionally be seen.
1t would crafty a reasonable curiosity
to know where such a writer obtained his
information. The fact Is that in the best
agricultural regions of the south there
are as many improved implements of hus-
bandry as are TO be found in the most
favored farming regions In the north.
There are turning plows and disk plows
and disk harrows and seed drills and ted
ders and self binders and steam thresh-
ers. and in fact every implement that Will
multiply labor and increase production.
Rarely IN the best regions Of the south
are anything but two, three and four
horse plows used for breaking land. Such
writer's should inform themselves before
speaking for the whole south. A little set
tlement In the hill lands of Alabama or
Georgia. a truck patch In the Everglades
OF Florida, a farm on the slopes or on
the tops of the Appalachian mountains, a
district thirty miles from the railroad,
are no more fit places to study the agri-
culture OF the south than the small clear
ings on the berkshire hills Of Massachu-
sets or on the A~dirondacks of New York
hre for the study OF the agriculture of the
north
These writers should visit the best por-
tons OF middle Tennessee, the valleys Of
EAST Tennessee. the rich loess region OF
west Tennessee, the fertile lands of the
shenandoah valley, the blue grass regions
Of Kentucky. the black lands of Ala
bama and the fruit district of Virginia,
the cotton districts Of eastern North Car
Dina and the sugar-growing districts of
Louisiana, and learn that there is some
thing better than bull tongue plows in
use among the farmers of the south.
1t Is sublimely ridiculous to send out
such statements concerning the south.
The unfairness of such representations
ls not crcditable to the press of the north. I
