~HE German tailor had made a
timid call on Major Crofoot,
grand promoter and general
schemer, with a little bill for
repairs to a suit, and as the major
received and glanced at the bill he
said:
MY dear Mr.. Observation-Disclosures,
this bill is made out in q business way
and footed up correctly. 1t specifies
that | owe you 90 cents for services
rendered. | do not dispute it. On the
contrary, | admit the Indebtedness and
will now proceed to discharge it and
show my gratitude at the same time.
| propose to take you into II of the
most gigantic schemes of the age with
me and divide the profits"
81 like my 90 cent" replied the tailor
as he looked puzzled and perplexed.
You shall have them, my dear man,
and millions more on top of them. Lis
ten to me. | IN about to contract for
the entire huckleberry crop of next
year at 7 cents a quart and raise the
price to 20. The estimated crop is 9S,-
672,235 quarts; net profits, $S90,000. A
clean, tidy business, with no tar or
grease to soil your hands and quick
returns on capital invested. No politics
or religion in it, and the public must
have huckleberries no matter what the
price. Capital stock limited to $4,000
and all shares worcestershire. Apply at
once. All shareholders entitled to hue
kleberries at contract prices. You shall
come in with me, and we will make an
even whack of expenses and profits. l
shall want 500 from you to help incor-
porate the concern. Can you pay it to-
day."
"You-you mean | yhas to gif you
one hoonered dollar?' stammered the
creditor as his hair fairly stood up.
Eyes; that will do at present, provid-
ed you want to make about $250,000
during the next year. Perhaps, how
yer, you don't want to waste your
time on such small potatoes. If not let
me call your attention to another sure
thing strictly original with me. 1t is to
buy 10000 acres of New Jersey marsh
lands and cultivate celery. The title of
the organization is to be the Great I'm
limited New Jersey Celery Growers
association. Our capital will be limited,
but our celery will not.
you can see for yourself what there
is in it. Twenty thousand acres at 50
per acre is $4,000. Each acre will
raise $50 worth of celery, making the
seasons crop turn in 81 ,250,000. Say it
takes the 100000 to pay for seed and
labor and sundries. and yet there is a
cool million to divide between US. Don't

With n population of 100000 Swift
zerland is without any coal supply Of
her own. None of her rivers is navi-
gable. and all her coal imports have
to be brought in by rail, which makes
1t very expensive. Her coal bill is
about $12,500,000 a year.
In order to make her outlay for fuel
as economical as possible the govern
ment has decided to establish a federal
testing station, attached to the leading
institution for technical instruction at
Zurich. At this station every kind of
fuel used in the little republic is to be
scientifically tested to determine its
exact heat producing value, which
will be made known to the public
through periodical publications by the
government. 1t is intended 10 reform
the whole coal trade by substituting
heat producing value for weight as the
basis of its price per ton.
Our consul at Zurich, i'll reporting
this scheme. states that its originator
is an American, DR.. L. J.. Constam,
from New York, at present professor
of chemistry III the Swiss Federal
Polytechnic.

Bulbs at Fancy Prices,

At Rush, near Dublin, ON land for
merly used for potatoes. roots and bulbs
of Towering plants for which as high
as $50 each may be paid are raised.
The craze for the new fashioned old
fashioned flowers is having one curious
result. Holland has always been the
center for this industry. but Great Brit
tain is rapidly wrestling the trade away.
In Holland bulb culture has been a
hereditary pursuit for three centuries.
and until recently the importation to
England was immense. Now even the
rarest varieties are grown in Great
Britain and especially in Ireland.
The experiment which was begun
eight years ago at Rush has proved en-
tirely successful, and both climate and
soil have been found almost perfect for
this industry.

PRIMITIVE TREES.
They Bear the Kind of Apples That
Adam Used TO Eat.

They Bear the Kind or Apples ihht
Adam Used 10 Eat.
One of the most curious apple or
chards in the world is undoubtedly
that at the Arnold arboretum. Harvard
universities great tree museum near
Boston. 1t bears only primitive apples,
the living representatives of the an
cestors of the ordinary round, red ap-
pie with which every American IS
familiar, and there are some forty or
more different varieties of these. Ihey
grow on shrubs and small trees that
belong very far back in the past-so
far that some one of them is undoubt-
eddy very like the tree whose fruit
brought discord into the garden or
Eden.
These primitive trees, most of which
came originally from various oun
tries OF the old world, are grown at
the arboretum for purposes of scien-
tific study. They have, however, a
very practical place in modern arbor1-
culture, a good example being the use
that has been made lately of specimens
from the collection by the Canadian
agricultural experiment stations at OF
tawa and at Indian Head, far up in
the Northwest Territories, where the
necessity for apple trees hardy enough
to withstand the rigors of long, severe
winters has become very apparent.
The ordinary varieties developed in
England. France and the United States
are hopeless for such purposes, but
fortunately the Siberian apples, with
their juicy little yellow and red fruit,
which in many cases grow no bigger
than a small BURBERRY, give every
promise of doing much better, and in
these the arboretum is particularly
rich.
The real Importance of these little
Siberian apples as a factor in the fruit
growing industry lies in their uses for
grating. A farmer in the northwest
or ever Alaska, which is known to
have agricultural possibilities. can set
them out. wait until they are of good
size and then upon the original stock
graft almost any variety of fairly
hardy apple with a reasonable assur-
ance of a good crop of the larger, more
delicate fruit.

YOU, SAID THE TAILOR.

friend. Huckleberries may get sun
burned and the price come down, but

paid here to the observance of the
numerous designated holidays which
in other lands go to make up Christ
mastide. The period opens with st.
Thomas day, which falls on Dec. 81,
and closes with st. Distaff's day, on
Jan. Z. The first named festival is
known in some parts Of England as
"Doling day" on account of the dis
tribution of the bounty of charitable
individuals, and in most English cities
at the present time the day is given up
largely to the anniversaries of chart
table societies and the distribution of
benefits among the poor and needy. 1t
is also the day chosen for the election
of church officers, a custom adopted
here in some denominations, and it

THREE HORSES
 WERE DROWNED
Wednesday Night Opposite PeIuk Creek--.BeI0nged to
 Rowe & Will.

Three horses broke through the ice in Boring sea and perished Wednesday night opposite Peluk creek. Henry Rowe, of Rowe x Will, was coming up from Solomon with four-hOrse team, and when off shore about POO feet, the ice gave way, precipitating the team into the icy water. J. k. Phillips, of Bogle X Phillips. went to the rescue with ropes and team of horses. The ropes were fastened to the struggling animals, but they broke like threads. Finally one horse was got out safely, the second died on the ice after being pulled out; the third was so chilled and exhausted after being pulled out that it was killed; the fourth was drowned. Mir. Rowe also went through the ice, and SO did Mir. Will and others who were rendering assistance, but fur. ther than getting thoroughly wet, they suffered no mishaps. The wagon and contents were saved. The loss is a heavy one, the horses lost being fine animals.

established by the treaty with Grea Britain in 1895"
 The speaker reviewed at length the several efforts to open the boundary question on the part of Canada. Tha, General Grant in 1872 had urged thai the boundary be fixed by national mon uments. In 1885, the speaker said, Secretary Bayard had made d bad ad. mission in saying the boundary was "uncertain and indefinite"
 Since the discovery of precious metals in Alaska, he continued, Canada had been constantly putting forward con- tentiOns. One was that the coast line referred to in the treaty of 1925 was the outer shore of the archipelago. Various maps and charts had been pre- pared by the government of Canada, and the latest one, of September, 1899, by which Pyramid harbor is claimed, will not only cut off the harbor and the overland routes to Alaska from the CHitou oIdtcS, DuI ioCabco I'ouS ido island, the famous Treadwell mines and Juneau in British territory. The speaker closed by saying:
 ''So far as I can judge, and in my opinion, Canada has not made one sound or honest contention. For "A years the United States has had possession of that territory, and for 60 years of that time without contention. None would be made now if it were not for the Klondike mines. The United States has held that territory since 1925, and it's title is not subject for arbitration. This government should never submit national questions to the arbitration of European mOnarchs.'
