Baskerville. Oct. 6.--The Emmett
County Telephone Company has APP
peared before the council asking that
they submit the proposition of a
twenty year franchise to a vote Of the
people at the coming election. They
represented to the council that they
were fully organized and ready to in
stall an independent exchange and al
so to build extensive rural lines, and
in the near future he able to give
and furnish to connections.
Ever since the Western Electric
raised the rates last spring for their
service in this city there has been a
sentiment favoring an independent
company. and the prospect is now
there will be two exchanges in this city
before long as the new company have
about two hundred subscribers pledged
to begin with, the old company hav-
ing about three hundred, 1t takes but
a small stretch of the imagination to
foresee telephone war in the near flu
ture. The council will likely place the
question before the people.

There are thousands of men and women
going about the world today with kidney

of Bright's disease, diabetes or blood poison.
They evidently enjoy being sick and sub

Some Of them don't suffer enough-they,
think it's nothing much and will wear off

completely discouraged that they have
made UP their minds there is no hope for

FRUITS ANn FLOWERS.

Rolling ground is the best for an or
chard.
Blighted leaves and branches on fruit
trees should be cut OF and burned.
That tree does not bear well every
year is not an indication Of disease.
Most effective pruning is done in the
early stages Of the orchards growth.
One advantage in pruning during the
summer is that the wounds heal very
quickly.
Dead branches are often the means
Of conveying decay to an otherwise
healthy trunk.
In pruning roses cutting back closely
produces, as a rule. fewer blossoms. but
Of finer quality.
Never prune a tree unless there is
good reason why a limb or branch
should be taken of.
A moderately heavy soil that has been
underdrained and subsoiled and then
carefully worked is capable Of produc-
ing the heaviest crops Of fruit.

TWO STOCK EXCHANGES.

0a3eFo0ees Between the Rev YORk
aaa Berlin Institutions.
II any member Of the New York
Stock Exchange who 10 entirely unac.
quainted with German speculation
should visit the Berlin bourse he would
ind at every point the most striking
EMERGENCIES from his home experience.
He would be surprised to see the
bourse attended by quite 1000 persons.
including clerks Of banks. newspaper
men and even visitors like himself.
Also. he would be interested in the Inn
mense size Of the hall 800 feet long, d.
vided by colonnades into three sections.
one of which is assigned to the Produce
Exchange. On one side Of the hall sew
eral doors open into a grassy court,
shaded by trees and surrounded by
pillared lobby, where brokers sit in dull
summer days and float their latest
stock Of anecdotes.
That shaded court is suggestive Of
deeper differences between the New
York Stock Exchange and the Berlin
institution. In New York tie number
Of members is fixed and Is small In pro-
portion to the immense volume Of busi-
ness done. In Berlin there Is great
horde Of small dealers, and the amount
Of trading Is much less than in New
York. Owing to the easy terms OF adj
mission, the bourse becomes mere
place where traders meet to effect their
transactions. There is no sale of seats.
In fact, no membership fee exists. but
only small yearly tax is collected,
which varies from time to time as the
expenses Of the organization require.
Contrary to New York practice. men,
bership is largely held by companies
and firms. Nearly all the banks Of the
city, for example, are members, and
the more important ones keep above a
score Of their employees on the door.
Thus the individual New York broker.
a. rule, counts for vastly more than
a member of the bourse. New York Is
concentrated, is intense. Berlin dis
perses it's energy, and is comparatively
dull. It knows nothing Of those great
days Of triumph or disaster that render
the annals of Wall street picturesque.
And It lacks our large daring operators
who startle the country with their bold
schemes.-William G. Dreher in Cen

INSTINCT is THE TEACHER.

How the Young Of the Feathered
Tribe Are Educated.
There is school Of the woods, just
as much as there is church of the
woods or parliament Of the woods
or Society Of United Charities Of the
woods, and no more. There is nothing
In the dealing Of animals with their
young that in the remotest way sug-
gests human instruction and discipline.
The young Of oil the wild creatures do
tnstinctively what their parents do and
did. They do not have to be taught;
they are taught from the jump, says a
writer in the Atlantic Monthly. The
bird sings at the proper age and builds
its nest and takes its appropriate food
without any hint at oil from its par
ents. The young ducks take to the
water when Matched by d duck and
dive and stalk insects and wash them
selves just as their mothers did. Young
chickens and young turkeys under
stand the various calls and signals Of
their mother the first time they hear or
see them. At the first alarm note they
squat: at call to food they come on
the first day as on the tenth. The hab-
Its of cleanliness Of the nest1ings are
established from the first hour Of their
lives. When bird. comes to build its
6rst nest and to rear its first brood, 1t
knows how to proceed as well as It
does years later or as its parents did
before 1t. The fox is afraid Of q trap
before he has had any experience with
It, and the hare thumps upon the
ground at sight Of anything strange
and'sunusual, whether it's mates be
within hearing or not. No bird teaches
its young to dy. They fly instinctively
when their wings are strong enough.
