very essential that the grower know
when the fruit is in condition to har-
vest, as one or two days delay means
the loss of the entire crop. In line
with the foregoing an Iowa grower
furnishes the following hints in Amer
lean Agriculturtst:
The grower should prepare for the
pickers in advance. There is posi-
bility, unless the pickers are carefully
cautioned at the beginning, that they
will put unrfpe fruit with the calyx
attached in the boxes, and they are
also very likely to make the boxes
vary a great deal in the size and ripe
ness of the fruit Small green berries
will often be placed in the bottom Of
the box, with large, ripe fruit on top
1t is very essential that boxes should
be put on the market as nearly uni
form as possible, both in size and ripe
ness Of the fruit. This is the only sue
cessful method.
Raspberries should be gathered in the
early morning, so the berries can be
placed on the market before the heat
of the day, or be shipped so as to reach
their destination that day. A little
delay in picking may often be the cause
of a great loss, as the berries ripen
during the warmest weather, and if ex-
posed at all during the middle Of the
day they suffer considerably
Quart boxes are largely used. These
are placed in a small hand tray or
stand generally used by strawberry
growers They hold half dozen boxes
There is another device recently in
vented, consisting of small wire ar
rangement in which two quart boxes
can be placed A strap or belt is at
tached which allows 1t to be strapped
about the waist of the operator, with
the boxes in front The picker then
has the use of both hands and can do
much more rapid work 1t is a device
both desirable and convenient
In some places where these crops are
grown extensively and are harvested
for evaporating purposes a small tray
is used, the berries being knocked from
the bushes on to this tray by a stuffed
club. The tray is usually four or five

Actor. Under King william III.

How summary actors and managers
were dealt with in the days Of King
William III is shown by the petition
of Alexander Davenant and others,
dated Dec 10, 1901, which has been
found among the historical documents
of the house of lords These "sharers
and adventures in the playhouse

Dorset Garden theater in Whitefriars
set forth that Lord Longueville hav-
ing complained of being assaulted, to-
gether with his servants, by the guard
at this famous playhouse in the course
of what seems to have been a rather
serious fracas, the king had given or
ders at the desire of the peers that no
soldiers should be on duty there for
the future and that the players should
be suspended from acting till they
had begged pardon for the affront."
The house had also, 1t appears, vim
dicated it's dignity, thus outraged In the
person of one Of It's members by order
ing sergeant and soldier to be sent
to the gatehouse at Whitehall, then
used as a prison. The petitioners hav-
ing humbly solicited the removal of
the suspension upon them and prom
ised to do their best to prevent the
like miscarriage for the future" 1t is
officially noted that ''the suspension on
the players was removed" and that ION

the wrong tack. He even went down
to the Office and brought up bulletins
and reports for his patient to figure

aside, and when later the orderly picked
them up he found on the margins only
a pitiful array of meaningless figures,
such as child might make In attempt

1t was at this juncture that Sumner
found himself one morning watching
the strange antics of small boy in the

that first caught his eye, but 1t was so

Sumner raised his head and stared for
some time at the window across the

A r,eweud OF February.

Here is the pretty legend which tells
why February has only twenty-eight
or twenty-nine days. Long ago, they
say, February was gambler, and be
was SO uniucky that he soon lost all
his money. Like other gamblers, he
tried to recover it, and he said to his
companions that If they would lend
him some money he would give them
as security one of his days. January
and March, who were naturally asso-
ciated with him more often than any
Of the other months, accepted his Of
fer, and as poor February soon lost the
money which he had borrowed each of
them acquired one Of his days.
That is why January and March have
each thirty-one days and February has
only twenty-eight in ordinary and
twenty-nine In leap years.

his lips moved, and he frowned prodi-
giously. Sumner watched until the ges-
lures and frowns ceased and the boy,
with his nose pressed fiat against the
pane, stood staring into the street
Presently Sumner caught the small
boys eye and waved his hand. The
latter responded with dignified bow.
Sumner, with sudden inspiration, put
up his hands and went through few
letters of the deaf and dumb alphabet,
meanwhile raising his brows inQuir-
lngly. The boy smiled and nodded

That was the beginning of Summers
acquaintance with Howard Roger Pc
ters. Every afternoon the orderly went
across the street to the apartment ON
the fifth floor and escorted Howard
Roger Peters to Summers apartments.
Howard Roger and Sumner became
great friends, and with his new inter
est in life Sumner began to mend.
To Sumner, Howard Roger was at
Dnce an enigma and a marvel. That
Twelve short years could have pro-
auced youth so mature was beyond
comprehension, and In searching for
the causes for this maturity he learned
much of Howard Rogers personal his

that Howard Roger, left all day to

ceived the idea Of following In his IA
theirs footsteps and daily practiced his
speeches before the pier glass in the
tiny parlor. And so between the man
to whom life meant nothing, and tht
child, to whose starved life the solt
ideal was martyrdom, there sprang VI
great and deep affection.
They were sitting together one after

forward and slapped his knee EN-.
