sIGNrFIOANr scENE.

He that had eyes to see and ears to
hear might have seen and heard some
thing on the historic old Green night
before last. About midnight, when the
good and comfortable people were safe
in bed, there was a queer assembly
around the heather pagoda which for
merly stood in the middle of the Green
but was sawed of and audaciously
moved up nearer the Christian
churches. This assembly was perhaps
two hundred in number, and if repre-
sentatlves OF ''the oppressed of all ma
tions" were not in it it was because
some of the representatives had other
fish to fry. AT any rate many Of them
were there, including some negro repre-
sentatives. On the platform of the pa
CODA, with the Flag of the Free stretch
ed behind him, was a young and fiery
talker with a foreign face, and he evil
IDENTIFY considered himself both a repre-
sentative and friend of the oppressed.
He talked to the audience before him
in way calculated to make them see
that 1t was about time for them to get
uD on their hind legs and protest if
they didn't want to be forever fallen.
He showed them how hard their lot
was and how the hardness of it was
due to the wrongness of the social or
der. He was stirring, persuasive and
not so very Incorporate in his state
ments. His hearers listened with at
tention, and perhaps they thought they
learned Of him.
A queer and significant scene on our
historic Green in the mysterious mid
night! The nodding old elms sleepily
whispered to each other about it. and
wondered why they should be kept
awake by such performance after the
powwow Of the night before. And GER
tain shades that haunt the Green be-
cause they loved it when they had form
deplored the new times and the new
manners, and asked the old, old ques-
tion. What is the world coming to?
And how the questioning shades and
everybody else around did laugh when
in the course of his address the orator
leaned over the railing toward an OPP
pressed colored brother and benevolent
" said to him Il wish had your skin.

At an examination in an English

his class that he said they could ask

Some were asked and replied to. See

The boy answered with grave face:

retain their pump form and perfect
coloring. They were produced flor the
purpose Of advertising the wonderful
soil and climatic possibilities Of this
State. In that respect the exhibits
have accomplished the object sought
and are splendid mediums of publicity.
The red apples were grown in some
orchards in the Yakima Valley. They
are the, product Of irrigation and
scientific fertilization of the soil.
Young, thrifty trees were selected, and
an experiment conducted that has de-
Imonstrated what others might do in
every apple-produeing section Of the
Northwest. The trees were fed on one
of the essential elements Of plant food
and kept in perfect growing condition.
Five pounds of nuriate of potash was
spaded into the soil at the roots Of each
tree. This made up the deficiency in
soil fertility and enabled the tree to
bring more perfect specimens of fruit.
The experiment is worth consider
able to every orchardist in the North
west. 1t is well known that the market
demands rich coloring in all fruits. If
a variety of red apples is put on the
market the specimens must be ex-
Iceptionally red to command the highest
prices. The same rule applies to other
fruits designed for sale. coloring is
one of the necessary points of excel
lence. In addition to the color proper
application of plant food adds to the
flavor and general good qualities Of
fruit. The lesson is plain enough for
every fruit grower to understand

The Story of John Hancock Greene's
Fourth of July Celebration,

The Story of John Hancock Greene's
Fourth of July Celebration.
John Hancock Greene was 5 years old
and had a grievance. His sister,
Mariannina, was half-past 6. 1t was
Fourth of July, and all the other boys
had firecrackers, but Johnny had none.
But though there were no firecrackers
there were six packages of torpedoes
that Uncle joey had bought for him
and Mariannina. At first Johnny said
he would take but one package; torpe-
does were only for girls, anyhow. Like
martyr he singled out the smallest
bag, and put five into his sisters pima
fore. Sadly the two went out into the
backyard.
We'll take turns out o mine first.
Ninn,'' said he. First frow, den you.
'Per'aps, after all, we'd better keep
the bags all sep'rate," Johnny went on
to say. II take half the bags, and you
take half.'
But even with this careful manage
ment the torpedoes were soon gone.
Suddenly Mariannina had an idea.
She picked up the torn cover of one of
the exploded torpedoes. It was COM
mon white tissue paper. She examined
its contents. The torpedoes seemed to
be made of sand and salt and things.

make some torpedoes!" .-~~

Johnny, But sand hasn't got any fire.

ANOTHER ATTEMPT.

There can be no content until the
North Pole has been reached. Perhaps
there will be none then. but that must
be done anyway. Captain Bernier, a
Canadian, is the latest to attempt the
feat. He will start this month. He is
to use the Arctic steamer Gauss,
bought for the purpose from the Ger
man government. She is to be employ
ed first in carrying a detachment of the
Northwest mounted police from Van
couver to the mouth of the Mckenzie.
From there Captain Bernier will push
north, hoping to drift with the ice to a
point in the north from which he can
reach the pole by a sledge journey. He
follows to some extent the course orig
inally made famous by the ill-starred
De Long expedition. This is also prac-
IticaIly the route adopted by hansen
when he made his farthest north, all
though Nansen entered the ice very
much more to the westward than did
the Jeanette or than will Captain Ber-
nier. The Canadian explorer counts on
the currents and prevailing winds car
rying him within one hundred and fifty
miles of the pole. If that distance only
separates him from this Iong-coveted
Ispot he hopes to cover it by a dash
with sledges. He is encouraged by the
report Of the members of the italian
expedition now holding the record for
the farthest north. 1t was the belief Of
Captain Cagni, who accompanied the
Duke of Abruzzi, that north of 81 the
ice is smooth and will permit of much
better speed being made with sledges
than is possible in the rough ice Of low

Success to Captain Bernier, or any
body else who feels called on to. go for
the North Pole 1t may not amount to
much when it is reached, but the coll
lection will not be complete without it.

and methods have consequently to be
resorted to. So prepared, there is peat
