A Grand Old Cherry Tree.

Sometimes the fruit on a single tree
is worth more than two or three acres
Of wheat. There is tree in northern
Delaware seventy or eighty years old,
that has produced an average Of $50

twenty years. One year the cherries
sold for $50. Six years ago this old
patriarch bore fifty-four peach baskets
of delicious fruit. or about eleven hun
dred pounds. And all of this fruit has
been a free gift from nature, as the
old tree has stood in dooryard all
these years unattended and uncared

The GOOD A IDEA.
Pennsylvania ApprOpriates SIX and
One-HaIf Million Dollars to
Help 1t Along.

The leaven of road improvement
seems to be working in all parts of the
United States. An eastern man. who
has recently taken a trip through Tex
as, says the enthusiasm with which the
people have taken up the good roads
idea" is wonderful. In some counties
they are in danger of "going wild" on
the subject. Funds are being raised
mainly by issue of county bonds.
In Pennsylvania, the state idea has
taken firm hold. The plan just
adopted is for the state, the county
and the township to cooperate in
the work of building and improving
the roads. The state is to pay two.
thirds of the expense, and the county
and township in which the work is
done each one-sixth of the expense.
The state has made available for this
purpose Sc, 500 1000, to be expended dur
ing the next few years.
The principle involved in the state
aid plan is exactly the same as that in
volved in the scheme for national aid
which has developed such popularity
recently. The fundamental idea OF
both is that road improvement is not
merely a matter of locan interest and
responsibility, but a matter of inter-
est and concern to the whole people,;
or, to put it another way, road build.
ing is coming to be viewed as a species
of internal improvement" belonging
in the same class as river and harbor
improvements.
Another eason why national and
state aid are becoming so popular is
the realization that, unless something
of the kind is adopted, the burden of
bad roads, Like the poor, will be al
ways with us. The bottomless roads
of the country constitute a sort Of
slough of despond" in which the peo.
pie are destined to founder until some
ONE comes along to help them out. In
fact the expense for improving the
roads in many localities is a burden
which the local population is wholly
unable to bear. 1t is believed that
whenever the state or the nation
reaches out a helping hand to such
communities, they will grasp it and
bend all their energies to the great
work of improving their highways,
but they will never undertake the job
without help from the outside.
The frequent spring rains made the
roads almost impossible in a majority
of the local communities throughout
the eastern half of the United States.
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why
the good roads idea is uppermost in
cn many mipds

She Knew That He Knew.

George was caught mapping. A pair
of soft little hands covered his eyes
and a sweet voice commanded: Guess
who it is"
Nothing very dreadful for George in
this, you think, but then you don't
know that George has two sweethearts
and for the life of him couldn't decide
whose voice it was, which made it a
very embarrassing situation for him.
A wrong guess would lead to complica-
tons awful to think of. But a happy
thought inspired George and he an
nounced:
cts the dearest, sweetest little girl
in all the world"
"Oh, you lovely boy!" gurgled the
satisfied one as she removed her hands.
And now George thinks of applying
for a diplomatic post, feeling that his
talents would be wasted in any other
field.

ORNAMENT THE YARD
with Trees. shrubs and Clam
bering Vines.

If the farmer knew how cheaply HIS
grounds could be ornamented, there
would be fewer unsightly yards in the
country. Even the boys and girls, with
a little trouble, could surround the
house with beautiful trees and shrubs
and clambering vines, and the cost
would be only a few days work each
year. There is scarcely a tree or a
shrub that will not propagate readily
from cuttings, and all kinds can be in
creased almost indefinitely. Insert the
cuttings in a moist piece of ground in
the spring, and give them one or two
hoeings. By the second year they will
be large enough TO transplant to per-
anent quarters. Some writers re-
commend transplanting a little deeper
in the new location than originally
grown, but the theory is unnatural,
for nature feeds from the roots, not
the trunk. The sprouting of seeds is
a curious study; too much or too lit
tie soil cover may cause a seed to ger
inmate, to lie dormant, or to rot,
Trees grown from small, light seeds,
such as box elder, maple, elm, cotton
wood, should be planted shallow,
whereas deep-rooted varieties which
produce large, heavy seeds, such as the
oak and walnut, require deeper plant
ing; and care in transplanting should
be taken that the roots are placed in
the positions in which they formerly
grew, as nearly as possible, Some
times cottonwoods and soft naples
standing so shallow that some of the
upper roots become visible on the sur
face make quick, vigorous growth
The roots which formerly grew close
to the surface should certainly not be
placed deep down in the soil. Of course
nature tries to overcome abuse of thi:
kind by sending out new networks OF
rootlets, but while this is being done
the growth of the tree is retarded
Herbaceous plants, like lilies, phloxes
peonies, ~irises, yuccas,~ anemonies, ant
hundreds of others, can have theil
roots divided and subdivided, and the
plants will be the more thrifty for the

to require their to find wives
for them, and as heads of families
they transmit the slave state only
down to the fourth generation.
In all respects, except that they
are in bondage, they are treated, as
a rule, like other servants, receiving
instruction in the schools. competing
at the public examinations and some
times obtaining official appointments.
In this case the owner is bound to
permit them to redeem themselves
and their families.
The Sun dispatch says that hus-
bands are selling their wives as well
as their children. 1t is permitted I'M
der the law for married women to
be sold, but never as slaves. They
are purchased only as wives by those
who buy them.
When the famine was at it's worst
in Shensi, men in carts. according to
Mr.. Nichols, appeared in the city of
Sian-fu. They were spectators
whose business was the buying of
children in the famine market.
Starting from Siam as the head
quarters for the trade they made ex-
cursions into the surrounding coun-
try. They bought hundreds of chill
dren, paying ordinarily about 1000
cash for a little boy, while little girls
could be purchased for half that
sum.
The trade was carried on by whole.
sale and the children were scattered
all over China to be sold to the rich.
Reclus says that the price of chill
dren is usually at the rate of two
dollars to $3.50 for every year of
their age.
A while ago Bishop Favier published
a book on Picking in which he spoke
of gambling as the national vice of
the Chinese. He told how beggars
in rags would bet their last scrap
of clothing; and how some frenzied
gamblers would stake their wives
and children at the gaming table.
He told of n young man who
staked his wife and lost her. The
woman was only 20 and the gam
bling debt involved was only $3.50.
Bishop Favier paid the debt and re-
turned the young woman to her
mother. A few months afterward
she rejoined her husband and Sin
all probability" added the bishop, she
has played and lost her again"
1t is extreme poverty also that is
responsible for a large proportion of
the infanticide that is known
to exist in China. The crime
is much more common in the south
than in the north; but it exists ev-
erywhere and is especially prevalent
when the people, who in their most
prosperous days are drinking the
dregs of poverty, find themselves UNI
able to procure enough food to keep
their children from starving.
