Charles X. in Exile.

It appears that the last royal occ,
pant of Hollywood palace, Edinburgh
previous to the visit of King Edward
the other day was Charles Y. OF
France, after he had been driven into
exile in 1880. "My father" writes a
well-known Scotch baronet, "was at
that time a schoolboy Of twelve or thir'
teen, and 1 have often heard him
speak Of the fat and fallen monarch,
who was an object Of much interest
to the good folk of the Scottish capital.
He used to amuse himself sometimes
with a very mild species of sport,
which consisted in sauntering round
the slopes of Arthur's seat armed with
gun in quest of sparrows, finches
and other small game Of the kind. The
little barefooted city arabs prototypes
of Crockett's Cleg Kelly used to &C.
company him on these excursions in
considerable numbers. His majesty
was shortsighted, scant Of breath and
far from alert, and my father used to
initiate the way in which one or other
Of the urchins, on spying bird with

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
General Trade Conditions.

Bradstreet's says: Stock market
liquidation at the expense OF industrials
affects sentiment and ignores, but does
not conceal, improvement in the corn
and cotton crops, a change for the bet
ter in industrial conditions at New
York and other disturbed centers, and
continued cheerful feeling in Western
and Southwestern trade circles. The
markets for the cereals also reflect
selling, but here the moving feature is
the good crop advices at home and
abroad and the pressure of the excel
lent quality of the new wheat arrivals.
The iron and steel markets and those
for other metals feel the reflex of de-
preston in securities, and buying is
closely restricted, even with dropping
values, while the bulls in cotton have
given nearby months and spot cotton

have been recorded, thus rendering the
position OF manufacturers still more

TOMATO CULTURE IN THE SOUTH
Attains It's Highest Degree of Perfection
in Mississippi.

Attains It's Highest Degree of Perfecuo"
in Mississippi.
The place where tomato culture can
be said to have attained Its highest de-
gree Of perfection is Crystal Springs.
Miss, and the methods employed Dy
tho growers of that section can be
spontaneously followed by every gar
dener. If not commercial grower. The
unusual feature Of the system con-
sjsts In pruning the plants, and the plan
has been followed by the writer 10
his home garden since 1899, when ne
learned Of it in the Florida winter TO-
mato section.
Coincident with the appearance OF
the third leaf of a young tomato plant
will come a sucker or branch; and as
the plant grows, additional suckers
will appear in the axil Of each leat
until vigorous plant will have twenty
or more branches, the larger ones haV
ing branches Of their own. and the
whole plant spreading over an area oil
ten or twelve square feet. Such
plant, of course, requires an immense
amount of soil nutrition and moisture
to support in foliage. The Crystal
Springs planters set their tomatoes
somewhat nearer than do ordinary
growers-as close as three by three ano
one-half feet-and when the first
sucker Is two inches long 1t is pinched
out, as are likewise all suckers appear
ing thereafter. Before the plant be
gins to fall, light pine stakes are driven
in the ground and the plants tied 10
them with ordinary cotton strings.
The tomato is then trained up this
stake, requiring three or four tyings,
until it reaches the top; four feet from
the ground. Then the bud is pinched
out. This gives a plant with about
twelve or fourteen great leaves, four
times the size of the ordinary tomato
leaf, and five or six clusters of mag
nificent. perfect fruit. The patch now
looks like a diminutlve orchard loaded
with fruit. Bushels Of ripe tomatoes
are in plain sight as the eye wanders
over the field. Under this method there
is no danger of tomatoes rotting OF
mildewing; they ripen seven or eight
days earlier than if the plants arc
left to their own devices or stalked in
the ordinary way, and it is practicable
to get through the rows at any time
and keep down Objectionable weeds,
and perhaps the most important, the
plants having a comparatively small
leaf surface for Transportation do not
require nearly so much moisture to
mature their fruit.
If a somewhat bushier plant is de-
sired, the vine can be trained to two
instead Of to q single stem.-Scientihc

ment has been drawn to the attention
of Deputy Game Warden Robert Gil.
bert, formerly Game Warden, and one
of the most influential and active pro-
tectors of game in this section of the
country. Mr.. Gilbert says:
1.-THE movement to prohibit the use
of pump guns will be brought up fol-
discussion at the next meeting of the
Protective Association. We are op.
posed to any agency that would lead
to the greater destruction Of game
but 1 cannot, of course, say anything
as to what official action the assocla'
ton will take in the matter. Those
who have begun the move to prohibit
the use Of the pump gun are infuen.
tiak men; and believe they can push
through the law they desire, especially
as they believe the country members of
the Legislature are naturally antag'
onistic to the pump gun.
"The use Of these guns has become
prevalent, and there is much property
right involved. If the action should
be taken, 1t would probably be the
most bitter contest ever waged before
the Maryland Legislature over game.
In addition to the tradespeOple inter.
ested the pump gun would undoubted'
ly develop many defenders among it's
users.
1--WE are greatly disappointed at the
ill-success of our plan to have one OF
the boats Of the State fishery force
kept in commission to protect the fish
of the bay and tributaries, and to com.
pei the carrying out of the fish laws.
The State spends much money annual.
ly for the propagation of fish, and we
contend that the protection Of the fish
is just as important as their propaga'
ton, and that a boat could be kept in
commission at practically no cost to the
State treasury.
"While there are thousands of hook.
and-line fishermen all over the State,
it Is astonishing how apathetic some
of them are to do anything but talk
for the protection of the fish. The
most satisfactory development CT eaa-:rf
is that the commercial fishermen are
now seeing the need Of protection, and
We are receiving cooperation from
quarters least expected"

The Educated r1an.

The triumph of the educated man in
the whirl of life about him is the ability
to use the multiplied instruments OF
civilization without being either be
wildered or baffled by them. That they
tend to daze the mind and to make it
superficial there can be no doubt, It
is for the man who keeps himself well
in hand to look out upon the world $
rush with equanimity, while presery-
ing jealousy for himself that intel
lectual life which is the great resource.
Mental distraction and dissipation he
will regard as the chief enemy at the
gate, and will prepare to meet him by
cherishing delightful studies which
brace the mind, and by practicing that
athletic grip OF the attention which a
hurried time would break, but which is
the source of all mental conquests.

JOCKEY CLUB DEFENDANT
IN COURT PROCEEDINGS
Tenants Seek to Retain Possession
of a Farm.

The Washington Jockey Club is named
as defendant in proceedings filed in the
District Supreme Court by A. Alexander
Baker and George w. Baker, who ask
that the defendant be restrained from
interfering with them in their peaceful
possession of certain lands.
The Bakers say that they are in pos
session OF a farm adjoining the grounds
of the Washington Jockey Club. at Ben
ming. which they hold under lease from
Henrietta Maria Br;ghtwell. The jockey
club acquired title to the land in dis
pute from Mrs. Brightwell on June 8
last.
On July q the club instituted pro-
ceedings before Justice of the Peace
Hewlett TO dispossess the Bakers. The
court awarded judgment in favor of the
jockey club, and the Bakers noted an
appeal.
The Bakers now ask the Supreme
Court of the District TO restrain the
lower court from disturbing them in
their occupancy of the land until their
appeal is finally settled. John C. Git
tings and James A. Toomey are counsel
for the petitioners.

WILL PLANT NO>TREES
At COLUMBIA HEIGHTS
Commissioners Decide That Available
Appropriation Is Too Small.

Commissioner Biddle has made an i'm
portant ruling which has been approved
by Commissioner mcfarland. denying Il
request Of the Columbia Heights Citi-
zens' Association that shade trees be
planted in that section of the city this
fall.
The request was made through Judge
Charles j. Bundy. president of the asso-
citation, who enumerated several streets
where the trees were wanted. He esti-
mated the total number at 200. but SUI
Perintendent Of Parking Lanham has re-
ported that twice tbs number will not
be more than adequate to comply with
the request of the Columbia Heights
citizens.
On the strength of this report, Com
missioner Biddle made the following
recommendation:
THE appropriation for the planting
and care of trees is so small that a great
part Of it has to be expended in taking
care Of the trees already planted, and Il
is impossible to extend the system as
fast as the Commissioners would desire.
The Commissioners appreciate the fact
that the sooner trees are planted the
better 1t Is, but with the money on hand
it is impossible to plant them now"

CLUB CANNOT PREVENT
Kissing OF BOILERS
Shoreham Hotel May Be Reached
Only Through Civil Acton.

The Century Club will be informed by
the Commissioners that there is moth
Ing the District government can do to
prevent certain alleged Objectionable
noises coming from the power plant of
the Shoreham Hotel. The rear OF the
building now occupied by the club SIS
Vermont Avenue, is within a few feet
OF the powerhouse, where. according to
the complaint, a kissing sound is emit
ted at all hours OF the day and night.
The letter says the noise is a-source OF
great discomfort to club members. and
asks the Commissioners t6--have it
abated as a nuisance
The matter was referred to the Build
ing Inspector, who substantiated the
facts as stated in the complaint made
by the club. The Inspector explained.
however. that in the use of the peculiar
type of boiler which is installed in the
Shoreham plant, the noise could not be
prevented. and that as the power fur
nished was for domestic purposes only,
there is nothing in the building regula-
lions that would justify the Building In
spector In taking action.
The Inspector adds that the only ap-
parent method of obtaining relief is for
the club to take legal action against the
owners and proprietors of the Shoreham
Hotel. Commissioner Biddle has ap-
proved the report of the Building In
spector and the Century Club will be in
formed accordingly.
