Cherry Growing in Iowa.

Iowa is making steady progress as
a fruit growing state. The census of
1890 reported S.14O.5SS apple trees
growing within her borders. In 1900
the number had reached 6,S69,5Ss. In
1895 there were 7O7,506 plum trees in
the state; in 1900, 1.SO2,217. In cherry
trees the increase is even more strik-
ing, there being 100000 trees in 1890
against 100000 in 1900 While the
climate of the northern part OF the
state is no doubt too severe for sue.
cessful cherry growing with any ex.
cept the hardest varieties, this de.
licious fruit can easily be grown in the
central and southern parts. The tree
is handsome and ornamental and is
appropriate for lawn and garden.

sELF-c COM MAND.

IL goes without saying that what.
ever positive moral element there is
in courage comes not from the alb
sence of fear, but from its presence
and the selfcommand exsrted to over.
come its effects. The normally con.
stituted man, except in moments OF ir-
responsible excitement, is frightened
by any danger that confronts him
This does not necessarily mean that
he is panic-stricken, but only that he
is conscious of the gravity of the sit
uation in which he finds himself. It is
then the part of manhood for him to
take himself in hand and repress any
demonstration OF his fear which might
react in demoralizing way upon him
self. The courageous man makes up
his mind that, no matter what comes,
and no matter what threatens, he will
keep cool and do the best he can. He
knows, when he thinks It over calmly
that his only hope rests In never let
ting go of himself but being constant
ly in such a state of mind that he can
take advantage of any opening that
offers. The frequent exertion of this
self-control results in gradual harden
ing or seasoning, so that, although he
never overcomes his fears. il is pro
gressivly easier for him to avoid being
overcome by them.
The actually fearless man, il we can
imagine one, is not likely to be very
highly organized, for a fine organism
means emotional susceptibility and
substantially all savages are brave. He
may be worthy enough person, but
more or less wooden. He must be
classified in an exclusive category,
since he possesses a trait Of distinct
value to himself and his fellows, but
devoid of any high moral quality. AS
the ancient philosopher explained why
the gods wished for nothing, by noting
the fact that they had already every
thing that heart could desire, so we
may say that the fearless man de-
serves no special credit for his GOOD
conduct in the face of peril. because
he is under no temptation to behave
badly.-Washington Post.

THE EVIL OF WORRY.

Doubtless there has been more OF
less worry since Adam hid in the
bushes. but IL is curious physiology
cal--indeed it may be a psychological
fact that real worry, the worry that
has a definite cause, is not so wear
ing as the imaginary worries that we
persist in taking to bed with us. We
cannot rest and be busy at the same
time. and 1t is not hard TO guess what
viii happen to the brain that insists
on fretting and worrying when it
should be enjoying the serenity of re-
pose. There are doctors who can ex-
anime your eyes and tell you whether
you have kidney disease, but how
much better 1t would be If some
specialist could arise who can locate
worry and pluck It out. as it were, by
the roots It is a baieful source OF
poison at best, and at it's worst, II is
ruinous. Happy the man who is able
to take the measure OF his worries
and troubles and value them for what
they are! Happy, thrice happy Is
the man who can present to their at.

OUT OF THE HARNESS AT 60.

The death of Mark Hanna at time
when waning physical strength had
several times warned him that IL was
time to quit" suggests an argument
in the Bankers Magazine in favor or
the early retirement of business men
who have accumulated enough to Sc
cure them against want
Notwithstanding repeated arguments
and admonitiops IN this direction the
list of those distinguished for their
successful attainment of wealth and
fame who have continued their siren
nous activities long after diminution
of strength has warned them of the
approaching end continues to be a
very long one American business
men prefer to Idle in the harness.
Public opinion has not been tolerant
of those who give up the strenuous
struggle before their strength has
wasted away. Indeed the man who
lays off the harness at 60 to devote
the remainder of his years to follow
ing personal tastes and proclivities is
very apt to be regarded as eccentric"
Moreover, men like Russell Sage cling
to the daily grind of business because
1t is their life. To give it up is to
acknowledge that the end Is approach

Big grasshoppers. such as grow fat

There are several methods used by
the natives for catching grasshoppers
The most effective is the net. This Is
a large butterfly net, arranged with
netting placed over a hoop, and to the
latter is fixed a long handle.
The hopper is first so thoroughly
dried out in the heat of the sun or in
the bake oven that there is nothing
left that is really Objectionable, and a
nice crispy article of food results. This

EGG Shell Material.

II Is comparatively easy 10 supply
material for the smell of the egg. Old
mortar pounded. oyster and clam
shells ground up. and bones cut up
quite fine and ground, all serve the
needed purpose. II is far easier to
keep the hen supplied with egg-shell
material than It is to keep her sup
piled with grit. About one-tenth of
the weight Of the egg is the shell. In
100 pounds of eggs there are ten
pounds and over of lime in the form
of the shell. When eggs sell for TWEEN
ty cents per pound this means that
$500 has been taken In for lime in
the shell, material that cost nothing
as feed. The better the supply of
this material the stronger will be the
shell. Weak shells are never desir-
able. When the supply OF lime is cut
Off the shells are poorly formed and
are sometimes so thin that they break
too easily. This is a great annoyance
to the buyers; II prevents their ready
transportation, and It is the cause of
frequent accidents with the eggs in
the home pantry and kitchen. We
have seen eggs with shells so thin
that they broke under the pressure of
the thumb and fingers when they we're
being handled with the usual amount
of care. The worst feature is, how
ever that the eggs break in the nests
and start the hens into the habit of
egg-eating.

that will not be until the mines are
much farther along than they are
now.
''Money is being raised for roads
to connect with the new state road
being built in. But that road can
never be just what the country needs.
The only ultimate route is to the
north, down the Salmon river. While
we can get out over the Secesh sum
nit, by way of Warren, there can be
no other route equal to that via the
Salmon river. If the people of this
section could give some assistance
toward building good wagon road
from Warren, it would be many
thousands of dollars in their pockets.
The best way for the present would
be to come as far as Warren, and
then down to the old state bridge,
where the road will follow the river
on the south side, down to Crevice.
where it would cross over on this
side and come on down by way OF
Whitebird. 1t would give snowles'
road most of the way. Eventually
, the road would have to build on VI
the Salmon to the South Fork, which
which save the climb up to Warren.

A special to the Spokane Review

says:
Rather than face ultimate starva-
ton while suffering agony from a
broken limb, Samuel Benton, a
miner, ended his life with revolver
near the trail to the Marshall Lake
mining district. His body was found
last Sunday and buried in the hills.
Benton crossed Reynolds ferry on
Salmon river May 81, and when II
was later reported that he was mis-
sing, searching parties were formed
and started out on the trail he was
known to have followed. They dis
covered that he had fallen from the
bluff near the river and broken his
leg, He had dragged himself t
to the rivers edge and then back in
to the brush. An ugly hole in hi
head told how he had come to hi
death. Realizing that he was help
less and that assistance could no
reach him, the unfortunate man sho
himself. The body was buried nea
the spot where the miner died.
