Cold STORAGE of AppIes,

Iowa has an abundance of hardy and
productive varieties of summer n fall
apples. Among these may be men,
toned the Jonathan, Wealthy, Grimes
Golden, Winesap, Dominic, etc. Many
of these are superior in quality to east
ern grown fruit and are produced in
this state in such quantities as to over
stock the market at harvesting time.
The northern part Of he state, how
ever, is unfortunate in having no salts
factory variety of winter apples. Hence
the market demands at that season
grown fruit or by holding the earlier
varieties over in storage. To do this
scceSsfully some means of preventing
the decay of the fruit is necessary.
With a view of determining the pos
sibility OF accomplishing this by cold
storage, the Iowa experiment station
began a series of Investigations in Sep
TENDER, 1902. Several barrels of the
leading varieties of early apples We're
placed in a cold storage house in Des
Moines. AT intervals during the fol-
lowing winter the fruit was examined
and it's conditions determined.
A report of his interesting test has
been published as Bulletin ~ of the
station. The results CT the experiment
are fully set forth. The report is cor
sidered as preliminary rather than con
elusive. yet it contains many points of
Importance and value to fruit growers
and others interested.

The Fountain of Youth,

Saturday Evening Post: Like pretty
much everything else, his matter Of
having children has two sides to It.
AS a great many children are failures
and as children are the joint product Of
heredity and environment, both ele-
ments preponderantly under parental
control, it would seem more sensible
to say that there were too many peo-
pie undertaking parental responsibility
instead Of too few. And, further, pa
renthood has nan cares n sorrows
and exasperations. Still, when all Is
said, how many persons who found
themselves childless at As have been
able honestly to congratulate them
selves?
Children have a use as an assurance
against restitution and loneliness in old
age. They are satisfactory to the van
ity for family Immortality. But more
than these and all other advantages is
the advantage of ~prolongirg ones life.
Growing children will keep any proper
man or woman young in spirit and in
mind. will retard the development of
that sour yet complacent cynicism
which curses old age both for ones self
and for those about one.
The man or the WOman-again, the
right sort of man or woman-who has
children drinks every day a deer
draught at the fountain of eterna.

ENGLISH IDEAS IN JEWELS.
t Is Decreed That Certain Kinds May
Be Morn In DAYTIME.

London Express: 1t is only a few
ears ago that it was considered bad
iaste for women in English society to
wear jewelry in the day time. Now it
is Fashionable to wear not only dia-
monds and pearls with afternoon cos
tunes, but also a variety of other gems.
The craze for barbaric jewelry was
perhaps accountable for this departure
in the first instance.
AT any rate. at any society function
nowadays a full-dress day costume Is
not complete without a diamond chain
or pearl collar, while brooches, pend
ants and trinkets of turquoise, sap
phires, rubies or emeralds in conjunc-
ton with the dainty jeweled watch and
popular paste or turquoise buttons are
always to be seen. Eve for morning
wear the simple skirt has diamond or
pearl inks and studs.
JeWeled hatpins are popular wedding
gifts. Jeweled waist belts and hanging
purses are also much in vogue, while
the long picture earrings (Which have
been in fashion barely one season. are
often seen in the daytime as we'll as at
evening parties.
T%urQuoises of every conceivable size
and i~rregularty and pearls of all shapes
have been the faShion for some time
past.
a new stone for day wear is the New
Zealand stone, which, as an adjunct to
the barbaric pearl SO much in favor. is
charming wear.

Crops in Ireland.

Philadelphia Public Ledger: D~iscourag-
ing reports of the state of the crops con-
tinue to be received from nearly all parts
of Ireland. The recent heavy rains have
been equally serious for hay and potatoes
in the west and midlands. Low lying lands
are nearly all under water.
a message from Athlone says that
nothing short Of IL merciful dispensation
Of Providence can save the farming COM
munity between Athlone and Banagher OF,

this district floods have played sad havoc

source of revenue"

The "City" Farmer,

Southern Field: In the interchange
of population between city and country
the law of compensation publishes one
of its edicts. Some one has said-and
the statement does not seem to have
been seriously diSputed-that but for
the virile country blood which is con-
stantly injected into the life current
Of New York city that great metropolis
would wane, stagnate and decay. While
it is perhaps too much to say that the
city-bred. city-trained men who take
up practical farming as an occupation
exert an equally potent influence upon
the fortunes of the agricultural sec
tons, the difference is one of degree,
and less palpable only because the
stream of people exchanging city for
farm occupation does not, at the pres
ent stage of the country's development,
balance the counter movement. Attri-
ton of city and rural elements is es-
sential to the growth of each.
1t is asserted that the highest gen.
eral average value of farm lands of any
county in a certain state is maintained
by a number of city farmers" who
went out and bought farms, each on
his own individual initiative. The first
successes achieved brought other city
men to join the colony, and in the
course of time it became almost i'm
possible to find a farmer in that whole
section who had not come from some
city occupation. Their success in this
particular section was attributable to
their business training, which fitted
them to deal with market conditions
and conform to popular tastes and
prejudiCes in the manner of packing
and marketing their products, intro
ducing innovations which the "prac-
tical,' old time farmer was 10th to
adopt.

thing. He rides on only one wheel of
a bicycle without any support save his
feet on the pedals. Now this is a diff

who can do it. But Minting rides in
this fashion both up and down a long
spiral track that begins at the ground
and ends In the top of the great tent
that covers the vast arena. To make
it all the more frightful the track of
this spiral is only fourteen inches wide
and it has no railing nor anything else
to prevent the wheel from going off
the side. This is certainly the limit

ARMY MUSICIANS
ARE NOT CUTTING
Leader of Fort Smelling Band
Refutes Statements of the
Local Union.

The local Musicians union. fearing
that it is suffering from competition
with the Twenty-first infantry band,
has decided to ask Congressman Ste
vens to introduce into congress a bill
providing that army bands shall not
be allowed to play at civic functions.
The members of the union allege that
the military band plays for less than
union rates and that it may be secured
free if the colonel of the regiment
gives his consent. Representatives of
the local union, which has taken up
the fight, secured the passage at the
National Musicians congress, at In
dianapolis. last week. of a resolution
making 1t possible to fine the mem
bers of any band in the union for par
ticipating with any federal band in
any parade or other function.
The adjutant of the Twenty-fifst in
fantry, when informed Of the action on
the part of local musicians, was sur
prised, declaring that there was no oc-
casion at all for such measures. Chief
Musician Graves, of the Twenty first
Infantry band, when seen yesterday,
said:
It cannot understand where the
members of the union got the impress
sion that we were interfering with
their business. AS a matter of fact,
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-06-21

we do not cut them out Of any en-
gagements by playing for less than
they do; and their statement that we
do is untrue. On the other hand,
when we do play we charge more than
they do.
Col. Kline has never ordered us to
play without compensation, exceNt in
a few cases where the object has been
charity and where there would. be no
band engaged if we did not consent to
serve.
"Our engagements are mostly I'M
sought, and if we earn little in addi-
ton to our regular salaries, it is not
more than many postoffice and other
civil service employees who are mem
bers of the unions are doing. Though
we are in the employ of the govern
ment as professional musicians, there
should not, it seems to me, be any dis
tinction drawn between US and en-
ployes of the civil service branch of
the government who are musicians,
though the latter may be members of
the union"
