MANILA. June 8. 1904.
Very little attention has been given to
the cultivation of fruit In the Philippine Is
lands, although the soil and climate are es-
pecially adapted to the production of all of
the varieties known to the tropics and SUBJ
tropics. Many varieties grow wild and a
few favorites have been domesticated, but
are generally allowed to take care of them
selves
! Under intelligent direction. which Is now
afforded by the Agricultural Department to
every one who Is willing to undertake the
industry. fruits may be very much improved
and become a source of wealth. although
nothing In this part Of the world or any
other tropical region can equal our apples.
peaches. cherries. strawberries and other
things that grow on bush and tree. Steps
are being taken to introduce small orchard
fruits from the United States into the foot
hills and on the slopes of the mountains.
where experts find favorable conditions.
On the Island of Negroes a native species of
grapes full of Juice and Of excellent flavor
has recently been discovered. and suggests
the ultimate development of fruit adapted
for the table and for wine.
The strawberry Is found growing wild on
the mountain sides:' wild raspberries and
blackberries. currants and plums have also
been reported. Wild cherries are OCCASION
ally seen in the forests. and botanists say
that there Is scarcely a fruit that does not
appear in some portion of the islands, but
few of them have ever been utilized, and
most Of them have local names which af-
forded no clue to inquirers.
Many Kinds of Bananas.
There are dozen or more different kinds
of bananas. Almost every cabin In the
archipelago Is shaded with banana trees
and with the common people they are an
important article OF diet. Nobody need
starve here as long as the banana grows
In the Philippines. There are plenty Of
oranges, but the groves receive no atten-
ton, and the fruit Is therefore of a poor
quality. There are plenty of lemons and
lime trees also, but no fruit. For some rea-
son most of them are barren, and the few
that are In bearing condition produce a
very poor quality. Nearly all the oranges,
lemons and lines used by the foreign pop
ulation are imported from California, and
my morning lemonade is made with lemons
from Sicily.
The pineapple. as told you In a recent
letter, Is cultivated for the fiber and the
fruit is incidental. Cocoanut meat Is the
third article Of export. and q dozen dishes
are made from 1t. There are ounces cit
rons, shadd0cks or grape fruit. custard

ENORMOUS GROWTH OF THE
PRUDENTIAL.

Nothing Is better calculated to give one
an idea OF the stupendous growth OF life
Insurance I'm the United States than the
record OF The Prudential Insurance Com
pany OF America, whose annual statement
Is published in this paper.
We find that this company has been
transacting business only twenty eight
years. and had, in 1876. assets amounting
10 81, 232 To-day It's assets amount TO over
S2Cco,0o; the amount IL has paid 10
policyholders during the twenty Eight
years exceeds 10000. 600: while the number
Of families enjoying it's protection Is esti-
mated at more than one million
These results Indicate the extraordinary
popularity OF The Prudential, a popularity
which owes its origin to the fact that The
Prudential was the first company to meet
the wants OF the Industrial classes in re
gard 10 life insurance and also was the
first to establish n system Of quick set
tlement Of claims.
The Prudential management and also
The Prudential policyholders are TO be con-
graduated upon the success which every
year brings TO their gigantic enterprise,
a success which IL as gratifying to the
public at large as it il to the pioneers
of such useful institution. Write to the
Home Office OF the Company, Newark, n.
j.. for information concerning it's policies,
which guarantee protection TO the fam
lily as well as dividends TO the policy
holders.

Hon. Percy w. Clement addressed an
audience of 115 persons by actual count,
at the town hall Friday night on the
subject of Good Roads and State
Finances. His talk on the former was
illustrated by stereopticon views showing
good and poor roads. The audience was
not enthusiastic, but a part of those
present appauded vigorously. Mr..
Clement was introduced by Professor
Howard and spoke for nearly two hours.
There was little new in what he said,
his ideas being mainly re-hash of
arguments that have been presented by
the state press over and over again
during the past three years. Several
left the hall before he had finished
speaking and there was no demonstra-
ton at the close of the address.

Death of luman II. Hendrick

Luman H. Hendrick, one of Gardeners
oldest and best known citizens, died
March 2, aged so years. He had been in
poor health for some time past, but only
during the past ten days had he been
confined to his bed. His death was due
to a gradual breaking down, caused by
old age.
Mr.. Hendrick was born in Hubbard
ton, VT, June 5, 1923, the son of Still
man and Abigail Hendrick. His earlier
life was spent in Vermont as a mill
wright, but when he came to Gardner,
Mass, in 1852, he took up the work of
chair making, which he followed for
half a century. Three years ago he had
to give up active employment in the
shop because of feebleness, but he kept
himself busy around his home and in his
garden. He often expressed the wish
that he might be able to sell his house
in the town and take up life on farm.
Mr.. Hendrick was twice married. His
first wife was Miss Melissa Nichols of
Middlebury, Vt, to whom he was mar
ried in 1916. She died in 1859. Three
years later Mr.. Hendrick married Miss
Betsy Brooks, of Gardner, who survives
him. There also remain two daughters,
one by each wife, Mrs. James NJ. Bah
coch of Pawtucket, r. l., and Miss c..
Anne Hendrick of Gardner.
Mr.. Hendrick has been member of
William Ellison lodge, l. o. o. F., ever
since its institution March 10, 1878, and
always was constant in attendance at
its meetings when his health permitted.
He was a quiet, peace loving man, a
citizen of whom the town may well feel
proud. AS a friend and neighbor he was
all that could be desired. Gardner,

w. n. SHELDON'S CONFI-
DENCE IN HYOMEl.

Not n Penny Need be Paid Unless 1t Cures
You of Catarrh.
Use Hyomei and be cured of catarrh, "
says w. II. Sheldon. When a responsible
business house like this comes out and
advertises that Hyomei will not cost a
penny unless it does all that is claimed
for it, it shows what remarkable con-
fidence they have in this scientific
medical treatment
A complete Hyomei outfit consists of a
neat inhaler, that can be carried in the
pocket or purse, medicine dropper and
bottle of Hyomei, and costs but ST.
The inhaler lasts lifetime and when
extra bottles of Hyomei, are needed, they
can be obtained for SOC.
This treatment does away with all
disagreeable and dangerous stomach
dosing. Breathing through the Hyomei
inhaler for few minutes four times a
day, it impregnates every particle of air
taken into the air passages and lungs
with germ-killing and health-giving
balsams. In this way it cures the most
chronic and deepseated catarrhal diseases
of the air passages and respiratory
organs.
The user is the sole judge whether
Hyomei is to be paid for or not. If it
does not help, w. II. Sheldon will cheer
fully return the money and it will not
cost penny.

A concerted effort is being made by

of the trading stamp nuisance, several of
them having already taken action in this
direction separately. Four merchants
who took up the stamp proposition when
it was introduced have already stopped
giving stamps to their customers, and a
large number of the rest are not giving
out the stamps except when compelled
to do SO by requests of buyers.
