Now, as ever, the young men are dreaming dreams and the old men are seeing visions. An article on the Anglo French understanding that has attract led attention appears in the Biblio- tleque Universelle of Lausanne. The lauthor, M. Tallichet, after calling the agreement first step toward a reign Iof justice in international relations, which would constitute practical
 Utopia. proceeds to discuss the possi- bility of France acting as mediator be- tween Great Britain and Russia. He comments on the difference between | the good faith of Russia in her finan- Icial operations and the lack of it in the management of her political affairs. He explains this as due to the fact that ] her finances are in the hands of the central authorities, whereas in politics lsubordinate agents are absolute. If, tacting upon their own initiative, those agents secure advantages that are well come to their superiors, the latter have
 not the courage to disavow them, all though they may be opposed to the general policy of the State. This, he says, is one of the necessary conse- Iquences of the Russian bureaucratic system, the inherent weakness of which has now been so strikingly dem lonstrated in the Far East. The failure
 of it has opened the way for reforms.
 Sooner or later, says M. Tallichet, Rus isia will probably have to abandon
 Manchuria and retire within her old
 bounds She cannot, he admits, accom-
 plish the task begun in China by Ja-
 pan, but he maintains that by devel- loping and peopling Siberia she can Ierect the best possible bulwark against lall danger from the Chinese side,
 while a fourishing and mutually ad-
 vantageous trade with China would
 avert all conflict between the two peo- tples. With England, France and Rus
 sia in accord, says M. Tallichet, the
 Czar would be able to realize some of
 his philanthropic projects.

The public mind is a queer thing, as |thk community has lately had reason Ito notice. They are also noticing it's Iqueerness in South Birmingham, Massachusetts In that town a savings bank has been having a run made up- on 1t, and the frightened depositors have taken out over s4G,0OO. The scare originated from a very ordinary inci- dent in the course of daily business. A woman. seeing $500 drawn from the bank at once, was so alarmed by the that she withdrew her money at once to save it. When she se- cured her money, of course she did not keep the thing to herself. Tn her ela- ton she hastened to tell everybody she knew. and then everybody of course fol- lowed her example. The outcome of Ithis little furry will be loss of many dollars in interest money to depositors
 and a consequent gain to the bank.

nois and Ohio 1s,OO0. 600. Kansas and Pennsylvania 100000 and Michigan 11.OOO. 900. while Virginia. Kentucky. In- diana, Tennessee. Arkansas, Iowa, North Carolina and West Virginia had each from nine to five millions of trees of bearing age. The normal crop is from 12aOOO.OOO to 2OO.OO0.OOO bushels of apples. Since the crop is perishable. special means have been devised for extending it's life. Cold storage equal izes distribution. preventing gIutted markets and providing the public with good apples till May or later. This calls for the development of a special ized business in handling and market ing distinct from the growing of fruit. Large warehouses carry selected ap- lples through the winter, from october to May, at temperature of about s1 degrees, at charge of from forty to sixty cents per barrel. The apple is a living thing, in which a process of rip- ening, change and dissolution is con- lstantly going forward. The effect of cold is to arrest this process in part and thus prolong the apples life. Cold arrests also the development of dis eases with which the fruit may be af- lfected, and checks molds, bitter rot, scab, scald, etc. Storage increases the commercial value of tender varieties which, without it. could not be kept long after picking. Much is said about packing and about the importance of storing apples promptly after they have been picked, the common habit of let- ting them lie in piles on the ground or in rude enclosures in the orchard being pronounced decidedly objectionable Much of the difficulty with which growers in the warmer apple belt have to contend would be reduced, 1t is sug- gested, by a system of warehouses To- cated in the orchards and managed by the growers. Regard, however, in all cases must be had, it is stated, not only to the effect of the orchard warehouses on the keeping quality of the fruit, but also to the larger question of its adapt ability to the present requirements of the apple trade
 Apples are certainly comforting, and lit is proper that we should lead the
 world in growing them. If Eve was ltempted with Rhode Island Greenipg who that knows about apples and Eyes can blame her?

CIRCUS WOMEN MODEL WIVES.

lcIRCUS WOMEN MODEL WIVES. They Are Born to the Business-Their Life Not Unhappy.
 -Of all the women engaged in public 1 employment there are none who are better known in a public manner by 1.-the great masses of people living in city and country than circus women. And there is no class of women in public employment who are so little
 known to the general public in a private
 manner There are no women who are so little understood, whose real charac- tier is so little discussed from a correct Istandpoint."
 The speaker was men connected in an executive capacity with one of the largest shows in the world, and whose experience in the amusement field has
 been sufficiently diversified to make him an authority.
 "To begin with, they are comparative 1 ly few in number. So seldom. are they enlisted from the general public that it might be well said that they must be born to the business. At least nine out of every ten circus women have circus
 parents. The remaining one marries into the business, or gets into it through brother, sister, or some other relative.
 No manager of a first class circus will engage a female performer in any capa- city unless she is accompanied by some male relative. The reason for this are Imany, and obvious to any one who will give the subject moments reflective consideration. This rule is so general | that exceptions to it are rare. Dissipation is an impossibility among circus women and is seldom indulged in by circus men, performers or executive officers. Managers enforce the most stringent rules against dissipation in | its every form, and will accept no ex- lcuses. The first offence brings a heavy fine as a penalty, and instant dismissal invariably follows a second violation.
 The nature of their work makes it inn possible to dissipate.
 Circus women are most devoted wives and mothers, who take life Eseriously and soberly. I believe that I there is no other class of women in any sort of employment where they come in lcontact with the public which supplies lso little food for scandal.
 1 Their home life in winter is pleasant land agreeable. Some of them, but not
 many work in the theaters in the Ewinter time. It is a most curious fact
 that few Of them care to live in the large cities. but make their homes on
 farms or in small towns. There they
 have their small circle of friends and
 relatives and pass the time away in the
 usual social function and household
 affairs, many of them preparing their
 wardrobes for the coming season on the
 road. Few of them ever become in
 digent or dependent upon their families
 Tor the public authorities.
 l 'They, of all women in the world most truly appreciate and enjoy the
 comforts and blessing of home after
 being compelled to be away for six months in a strange town and among lstrangers every day and in the narrow Iconfines of a sleeping berth on a cir lcus car every night"

What the United States can do when it isn't hampered is indicated by what
 it has done in Guam. Lieutenant Ray
 mond Stone of the Navy is the United States in Guam. He perceived the prices were too high there. So he is- sued an order stating that the gov |ernment is in receipt of information
 showing that the existing exorbitant prices on foodstuffs, which are plainly |not justified by the necessity of the first cost, freight. duties, etc, are due
 largely to a. form of collusion or coali- ton on the part of certain merchants |of Agana, whose combination is for the
 purpose of keeping prices up" The or der then went on to express the hope that the merchants would speedily re- wise their price lists and 'obviate the of governmental action

At intervals of about seven miles are placed intermediate block posts. with a similar signal and switch apparatus. By automatic arrangement the levers are all locked, so that one train cannot leave the station until the train ahead has passed the next post, thus preventing one train from run ming down another.

THE COMFORTING APpLEs.

Comfort me with apples, sang the sweet singer of Israel. If he were Iiv- ing in the United States to-day he could be easily comforted. This is a great. apple country. The Department of Agriculture finds that appIe-grow- ing in the United States has had an immense development in recent years. Formerly it was restricted, as com mercial enterprise, chiefly to the North Atlantic States, but since 1870 it has ex- tended to warmer regions-Virginia, H. linois. Arkansas, Missouri, etc. In 1890 there were 12oOo0,0OO apple trees, but in 1900 the number had grown to 100000 GOO. In the latter year Missouri had 20,000,000 trees, New York 15,000, ,0O0, Illi-

Concerning ''The Vitality of Mormon ism Roy Stannard Baker writes in the June Century: Another device which holds the people to the church is the curious doctrine of baptism for the dead. It is believed that the living may, by being baptized, save their rel- atives who have gone before. A man goes to the temple and is solemnly in- n1ersed for his grandfather, who died out of the faith; the grandfather name is duly entered in the book of records; the grandson contributes a fee, and comes the next day to be bap- tized for his grandmother, and so on. As the result of this faith the Mormons have delved more deeply into their genealogy, perhaps, than any other class of Americans. I know of several cases in which Mormons have gone to England on purpose to trace out their genealogical tree, bringing back long lists of their ancestors, in some cases going back to the time of William the Conqueror. On their return to Utah they begin the process of baptism, dip for each ancestor.

boy doesn't want to go to school
let him loaf; when he gets into
trouble and your neighbor re-
ports it to you, curse your neigh
Dor in the presence of your boy,
but don't reprimaud the boy.
When he gets little larger, and
purloins something of value and
you find it out just laugh at il
and let it go; when he gets into
something that calls him to the
justice court and he is found
guilty, pay the fine, curse the
court, the jury and everyone
connected with the matter, ant
