Trees of Manv Fruits.

Country Life In America: Many
people who live on city lots long for
fruit trees of their own from which tc
gather fresh fruit instead of being de-
pendent on the markets. but, owing to
cramped garden area, they feel that arl
orchard is an impossibility. Mr.
Vaughn of Pasadena was confronted
by just such a problem, but he has
cleverly found a way out of the diff
Guilty. On the back of his town lot
he had room for six fruit trees. He
planted naval oranges and peaches and
plums, and, when they became strong
and sturdy, he grated and budded
other varieties into them. The opera
lions were all successful. and now Mr.
Vaughn has numerous varieties of fruit
that ripen at all times of year and fur
nfsh an abundance for table use. ON
one naval orange tree Mr.. Vaughn bud
ded tangerine, a grape fruit, lemon
and blood orange, making With the
naval orange itself five kinds of fruit
on one tree They all bear profusely
and the fruit is of extraordinarily large
size. The peach trees were budled
with numerous varieties of early and
late peaches as we'll as apricots anG
nectarines. These trees bear from the
first of July to the first of November
The plum trees have been induced tc
produce many kinds of plums. If al
the fruit raised from these six trees
came from individual trees of their OWL
kind, it would take something like .
five -acre ranch to accommodate the
orchard.

The "spare Room" Of Memory.

Boston Herald: The fiat has certain
advantages, in spite of musical enthu
siasts below or above it, in spite of the
tube that, with its public mouth, in
vites all sorts of invitations to buy or
sell, and excites the passing humorist
to play upon as pipe of many notes.
The fiat discourageS unexpected Wis
itors who climb up the stairway with
bags and baggage, in expectation of
food and lodging. When you have a
house to yourself, Uncle Amos, Aunt
Luella, or Cousin Joe does not UNDER
stand why there should not be a room
and meals, especially as they are all
blood relatives" but so We're the three
daughters of the horse-leech. The fiat
has just so many rooms, and they are
all occupied. There is no lost room, no
secret chamber; even the despised
tube is here weapon of defense, for
a WE'LL trained servants voice may dis
courage, approach, repel would-be
boarders. Cousin Joe, who is not bit
fussy, admits that he cannot camp out
comfortably on the grand piano, and.
you prove to him that the bookcase or
the chest of drawers is not a masked
bedstead. The most intrepid relation
SHES at the enforced proximity in a
fiat.
1t is true that the spare room in
Uncle Amos village home was often at
your service in your younger days.
You still remember it's chief characters
istics-the floor hole, through which the
heat was supposed to rise from the liv-
ing room below and thus take the
chill OFF," This hole had sometimes a
thin and deceptive covering. BY put
ting your ear to the hole you could
easily ascertain the opinions Of your
hosts concerning your personal appear
ance, table manners, conversation. IL
your entertainers We're absent minded.
you discovered this hole by putting a
leg through 1T OH your way to bed.

Respect or Old Ago in Japan.

LeSlleS Weekly: IN Japan there IS
no such thing as dissesrect from youth
to age. No Japanese boy or girl could
ever think in light or disrespectful
manner of his or her superiors or
teachers, and this may account for the
earnestness so unusual among young
children. When a student enters a
masters presence in Japan he bows to
the floor. and when the lesson is fin
ished he bows again, with expressions
of the deepest gratitude as he takes his
departure. The teacher sitting in most
cases upon his feet on the floor, gravely
returns each salutation, then lights his
little pipe at the inevitable bit of a
smoking box and waits for his next
class. There is no hurrying of raas-
ters from room to room, as ir some
o. the schools In our enlightened land.
Great initators as they are, the Japan
csc are remarkable for knowing in
stinctively those foreign" customs
which would not coincide with their
national characteristics.

number of Christian Endeavor societies
gave valentine socials last week. At the
Washington Heights Presbyterian Church
an enjoyable musical and literary program
was rendered and refreshments served.
More than eighty persons were present at
q social given by the Endeavorers Of the
First Congregational Church, and We're en-
tertained by valentine games, one of which
was the writing of impersonal valentines
For this purpose heart-shaped cards, upon
which ten letters had been written, We're
passed to the guests, who were expected to
use their ingenuity in devising the valen-
tines. Mr.. Prentss and Miss Peabody were
awarded suitable prizes for writing the
most original ones. The heart design was
carried out in cakes and sandwiches, which,
with chocolate and ice cream, were served
as refreshments. The affair was in charge
of the social committee, OF which Mrs F.
ID. B. ingalls, is chairman.
The Endeavorers of the Vermont Avenue
Christian Church also gave valentine So
etal. The young ladies were accorded the
lsap-year privilege of inviting their escorts.
Each guest on arriving was presented with
heart-shaped badge bearing an appropri-
ate sentiment and games in keeping with
the occasion were played. Mr.. SUNNY sang

subtlety is mother to the arts Where
there is art there is culture. and where
there is culture there is victory. Thomas
Davis was another of the great Irish pa
triot-poe whose verse is heard today in
the meadows and the farmyards, and whose
name is revered by every Irish countryman.
These men are all dramatists, whose plays
are calculated to educate and cultivate
the common people. AS an example Of the
enthusiasm inspired by this intellectual re-
vival, l cite the of Father Peter
O'Leary, parish priest, who, at the age
of seventy turned playwright, and even
attends his own productions. He has writ
ten many folklore plays. which are doing
great good in the rural districts of Ireland.
Another well-known priest and playwright
is Father Dineen, who has met with great
success with his miracle plays. No coun-
try can prosper unless its intellect be oc-
cupied with itself and this is what we are
striving to accomplish. The literary move
ment is powerful. the people are in sym

the day when Irish will again be spoken
