N The early years Of the twentieth
century bid fair to be known as the
seedless age. 1t may be even referred
to- as the periodswhen appendicitis was
forever banished from among the ills
that beset this flesh Of ours Events
OF the past few months lend much en-
.couragement to. such q set Of views.
Not nnly the agricultural department,
but individual growers themselves are
busily engaged in experiments to de-
velop seedless apples, plums without
stones, grapes without seeds. and per-
haps most wonderful Of all, the
Georgia watermelon, seedless, but
luscious. Some of these experiments
have reached that stage where definite
announcement is about to be made. In
the case of the apple, investigations
carried on, in Colorado have developed
an apple which grows from the bud
Of the tree and not from the flower,
which has little bag or cavity on
the end, like the well known navel
orange, and which is said to be quite
free from the numerous diseases which
grow up with the apple as the result
Of the development Of eggs laid on the.
blossoms in. the early springtime.
This feature of the matter Is alone
worth the most serious Investigation,
as ittpromises to effect = material saw
ing IN every seasons products. The
work with the plum is proceeding with
similar favorable results. No an
nouncement has been made with re-
spect to the efforts to secure seedless
watermelons, but those engaged in the
work believe that. they can, demon
strats that their theory Is Q practical
one. We hope all this. may prove true.
but for several years more, 1t least,
We will have to worry along with seeds
in everything, Just as our ancestors
did before the fiood.-Rural World. ,

How to Plant Pole Beams.

In planting pole-beans, first set the
pole nrmly in the ground. Let them be
four feet apart each way. Il pays to AZ
: few hills thoroughly. scrspe the soil
away; all with well-rotsed manure, and
replace the soil. This makes slight ele-
walton. Plant six or eight beans around
the pole; thin these down to three Of
the best plants. The vines may need to
be helped to get start up the pole. Tie
them to the pole with cloth or soft
Irvine. Where poles are scarce, wires
may be stretched and the beans planted
two feet apart under them.-Midland

SHIPPING FRUIT IN BOXES.
The Practice Il Good One and Should
Be Adopted BY Fruit Growers
- q" Everywhere. T@H'

The relative advantages Of barrels
and boxes as packages for fruit were
given a very thorough discussion at the
recent meeting Of the Western Horti-
cultural society. The advantages Of
the boxes are chiefly, that they can DO
made and obtained more easily and
cheaply, and that fancy fruit generally
sells for a higher price in them as 1t can
be packed solid In nice. even rows. like
oranges; also the export trade 10 accus-
toned to this kind Of package, and 1t sells
more readily and for q higher price
abroad. Sd
The principal disadvantage is that It
requires an expert packer to put in fruit
in. this way It Is also true that there
is practically no opportunity to work in
uneven or poor fruit in q box. It de-
ponds on the point Of view whether this
is to be classed as an advantage or dis
advantage. a. ,', ~ 81 ,,sy',
As to barrels. they are increasingly
expensive and difficult to get. and it
requires skilled labor to make them.
Their principal advantages seem to be
3 that it does not require skilled labor to
I'LL them, and that they are easier to
move because they can be rolled.
'>a There seems to be good deal Of
: conservative clinging to an old-fash-
toned custom in this respect despite the
fact that barrels tend to bruise and in
jnre fruit. West Of the Rocky; noun
t4ins, however, barrels are no longer
used, partly because they cannot be cas-
lily obtained and partly because only the
very choicest fruit is shipped, and boxes
are preferable for this grade. x. =.

BRITISH MANNER $.

The defects in our social system must remain characteristic of us as long as our men remain as indifferent as they are to society-in fact, as long as they are still only partially civilized. The French nation has undoubtedly put women on a higher platform than has the British, and the greater refine- ment of their social conception is nc less indisputably due to this fact. The position of st wife and mother in a French family is legally and instinc- lively q more honorable one, and the mother-in-law, though often the sub ject of ridicule on the stage. enjoys an authority and consideration which that relationship is totally deprived of with us. Wife beating is unknown though they are; and, as every one knows at home, that pastime is com monly indulged in by lower class es at the expense of 2s. Sd. fine.
 In England many little things testify to the accepted superiority of the male sex A woman bows first, as to her lord and master; in France q man salutes his idol, whether noticed or un- noticed, and stands with his head un- covered if she stops to speak to him, while the younger men never omit to kiss a ladys hand, to shake which would seem an impertinence! To as- sert that all these formalities are meaningless is the abrupt conclusion of most 'self-respecting" Englishmen,
 but they are nevertheless the evidences of d refined civilization, and have their value if life ill society is desirable and useful,-The National.

Henry Holt and Company announce
 that they have in press twelve books of
 fiction, eleven of which are by Aneri- can authors. This is interesting in view of the circumstance that the firm
 was best known as publishers of the Leisure Hour Series, in which nearly all the books were by foreign authors. MT
 Holt says that their experience in this matter is but that of most American publishers, and he believes that the in-
 creased literary success of the United States is largely due to the internation- lal copyright law, of which lie is a stanch champion.
