NEW R. F. D. ROUTES
Twelve Will Be Opened in Chsago County
This Summer, Making Twenty.
Four In All,

Twelve new routes for the rural free de-
livery of mails will be opened in Chisago
county this summer. Maps of the pro-
posed routes are now being prepared by
w. J. Munroe, special agent of the post
office department. He drives over the
county, examines the character and the
location of the several roads, and gathers
information in such detail that he is en-
abled to indicate, on the map of each ru-
raj route the exact position Of every
farmhouse or village dwelling to which
mail will be delivered. There are twelve
rural routes already established in Chi
sage county. When the twelve new routes
have been added no resident Of the county
will be obliged to tear himself from wife
and freside in order to meet his neigh
Dor at the postoffice.

CURIOUS OLD BOAT.
Thought to Be the Oldest Vessel Now
in Actual Use.

A very curious old boat arrived at
Whitehaven the other day from
Strangford Lough, says the London
Graphic. She had, local paper de-
clares, an extraordinary history At
one time, a hundred years ago, the
vessel sailed regularly from Porta-
ferry to Whitehaven, and was in
these days called the Portaferry
frigate, and afterward the name
of the Three Sisters was bestowed
upon her. But, most extraordinary of
all, it is solemnly alleged that she was
used in 1889, at the siege of London
derry, to carry provisions up the ia
nous Loeb Foyle in those stirring
times If this be so, the Three Sis
tiers is the oldest vessel in actual use.
It is further alleged that a curious
privilege was given to her more than
a hundred years ago. She is permit
ted to come into Liverpool port, to
use all '<the wharfngs and piers"
without the payment of any quay OF
pier dues.

PECANs. GRATED ON HICKORY.
A South Carolina Experiment from
Which Much Is Expected.

In Chester county, S. c., they are
grating pecans on hickory sprouts
Such gratis grow at the rate of five
feet year, while seedlings grow very
slowly. 1t is believed such gratis will
begin to grow in four years, while
seeding pecans would consume twice
that time in getting to productive
ness.
Nor is this all. Seeding pecans
are subject to attacks of "borers, !"
while it is assumed that hickory
stock would be proof against such at
tacks. Alabama is full of hickory
sprouts, and if these sprouts can be
turned into pecan trees new source
of income will soon become available
Two old pecan trees in Virginia are
considered worth 1000 apiece, SIM
ply because they each yield annually
the income of that sum-@Charleston

LITERATURE AS BUSINESS.
Profits of Paul Leicester Ford from
His Writings.


We used to hear great deal about
literature as am art and about the de-
yotion of its followers to noble ideals
at the cost of poverty and obscurity.
The estate of the late Paul Leicester
Ford, just distributed by the surro-
gate, shows the rapid rise In litera-
ture as business since authors
OF the Hawthorne stamp went out of
fashion. Mr.. Ford, according to the
Brooklyn Eagle, was a writer of
charming stories, for which neither
he nor his friends claimed any endur-
ing place In literature With the
exception of sNThe Hon. Peter Stir
ling, which is likely to be read for
a good many years as an entertaining
study of practical politics in the last
decades of the nineteenth century,
the interest in Mr.. Ford's books was
as evanescent as it was keen while
their vogue lasted. Yet this novelist
for delectation, of the more refined
and graceful sort, left $4,000 in
personally, most of which was the
earnings of his own pen.
The appraiser adds an estimate
from the publishers of the probable
royalties of Mr.. Ford's books, which
proves the transitory nature of the
interest they arouse. From %Wanted,
a Chaperon," a posthumous story,
only published a few weeks, royalties
of $4,000 are expected from future
sales. But from Janice Meredith"
from which the greater share of Mr.
Ford's fortune was earned, and which
is still valuable in the theater, al
though the high-priced houses have
done with it, royalties of only 81, 900
are expected hereafter The estimate
on E'The Hon. Peter Stirling" for
which the demand began slowly, but
which has some of the lasting quail
ties of literary masterpieces, is 81, 500.
For Mr. Ford's semi-historical works,
''The Many Sided Franklin" and
''The True George Washington" no
great >:.le is expected hereafter. Mr..
Ford fairly typifies the authorship Of
his period. He was one Of the
successful novelists and his work was
always readable and attractive to
people Of educated taste, as well as
to the casual library patron, yet with
the exception of one serious novel it
makes hardly greater claim to per-
manence than does journalism or
magazining. But the returns from
it would have astonished most writer's
of an earlier and more serious day.
