THINNING FRUIT.

The ACCESSIBILITY of thinning fruit Is
coming to be recognized by a larger
number of fruit growers every year
and is more largely practiced than ever
before. 1t has not been very long
since thinning was resorted to only
when extra fine specimens of fruit were
wanted for exhibition. The idea of
thinning from a purely commercial
standpoint Is comparatively recent
practicability is often questioned,
while not few still maintain that it
is loss of time and money to thin
the crop.
That it is quite an undertaking, espe-
cially in a large orchard, must be ad-
think that if judiciously followed, its
benefits will certainly be revealed and
that in the end it's practice will place
the figures on the right side of the Jed
ger
Thinning may not be resorted to
varieties which probably would re-
quire no attention in this line at all,
but on the other hand there are years
and varieties which should be given
attention along this line. For few
moments let us notice some of the
good results which are to be had from
the practice of this method.
In the first place, it is protection
to the tree. Every orchardist in the
State has no doubt been the loser of
a fine tree simply because he has neg
lected to see that it was not carrying
too large load. This loss may have
occurred from a heavy wind storm
which broke the tree down, when, If
it had not been supporting such a load
Of fruit it would have withstood the
storm without injury. Or perhaps the
entire tree was not destroyed but a
branch or two was broken when, with
little attention, all of the damage
might have been prevented. But
there is another phase of this protec-
ton to the tree which we are not so
apt to observe simply because its re-
suits are longer in coming. We refer
to the lessened vitality and premature
death of the tree from overbearing.-

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Tea Ceremony at the
japanese Reservation.
Observation-Disclosures

BY the Countess de Montaisu.

The "tea ceremony" is a unique and
highly ceremonious function only to
be seen in the houses of aristOcratic
courtly etiquette of old Japan, and is
still practiced. Even at the public tea
houses in Japan it is unknown, except
to the favored few, being too elaborate
and expensive for an everyday thing.
The Toxic Tea Palace, at the Worlds
Fair, the Governmental institution for
the exploitation Of the products Of
Japan, is presided over by Mr.. X. Sane,
renowned authority on tea, and also
a well-known antiquarian. MFR. Sano
has in his employ young lady from
Toxic, who has school for young
ladies in that city. Here the daugh-
tiers of wealthy and high born per-
sonages are instructed in the intricacies
Of the "tea ceremony" for the daugh-
ter of the house usually acts as hostess
on such occasions.
The etiquette of Japan is as severe
as that Of the court Of Spain and even
more so.
Prompted by curiosity I requested
to be initiated into the mysteries Of
this pretty ceremony. On entering an
upper room in the tea house / found
five rather fiat cushions placed in a
semicircle in the middle of the floor.
According to immemorial usage, the
guests must not exceed five. Miss
Mine Abe, the Toxic young lady, was
already kneeling before the lacquered
tea table, looking like an animated
japanese doll. Each guest on entering

GOING BYE-BYE.

And it's no! for the land of Bye-Bye,
Astraddle of papa's knee.
With two big hands for the stirrups
And two little lips for the fee.
And now we are off at gallop
Through meadow and valley and wood
For visit to Peter Piper
And Little Red Riding Hood.
And maybe We'll call on the fairies
Down there in the hazel dell,
For where Papa Horsey will take us
The horsey himself can't tell.
And maybe we'll call on Miss Muffet
And maybe-and maybe we'll come
To where one little pig went to market
And one little piggie stayed at home.
But this I know, that so surely
AS the littlest piggie could talk,
So surely We'll nod in the saddle
And the gallop will come to walk.
And then we will be at the stable
And tenderly horsey will stand
While mamma lovingly leads us

the guests are, as it were, kneeling
and resting on their heels. One cannot
help wondering whether the Japanese
anatomy is not different from ours, as
to them this attitude seems entirely
natural.
Miss Abe was attired in the pictur.
esque garb of her native land. She
wore a flowing kimono of some soft
creepy material Sprigged with cherry
blossoms, branches of the same flower
adjoining her elaborate couture, and
about her waist was an obi or wide
sash embroidered in swallows.
After the usual compliments had
been exchanged, Miss Abe proceeded to
make the tea. She took the beautiful
Satsuma bowl, the little wooden ladle,
and the bamboo whisk, washing them
carefully in brass pan, wiping on
crimson fushama Tor 'kerchief), which
she folded in a certain fashion before
tucking in her belt. When all of the
utensils were in state of immaculate
cleanliness the hostess proceeded to
make the tea. From a vase of costly
cloisonne she extracted a fine greenish
powder, throwing two teaspoonsful
into the bowl reposing on the floor be-
side her; lifting the lid of the spout
less kettle, she peered into its depths
in order to see IL the water was bub-
bling. Then with peculiar and stud
led movement Of the hands she took q
ladle full OF the water and poured II
on the tea powder, whisking it briskly
with a little bamboo implement much
resembling an egg beater; when o

to bring victory to a player. 1t is a

mussing it.
Two players only are required. They

q large bone button in the place of
pingpong bat, and a smaller button is
used in the place of ball. One player
starts the game by pressing with her
large button on the edge of the small
button, causing it to snap across the
table very much as in the cid game Of

button land in the other girls saucer.

TO WATER OUTDOOR PLANTS

TO WATER OUTDOOR PLANTS.
In wet weather no plants need wat.
ering. AS long as the ground is moist
artificial watering is not necessary.
In protracted droughts watering is
imperative. Well water, and rain,
spring, creek or river waters are all
excellent, says the Ladies' Home Jour.
nal.
Instead of dousing and drying out
the ground every day it is far better
to soak the ground we'll now and then
and try to retain the moisture in it,
This is done by watering at night, and
the next morning scarifying the sur.
face deeply with steel rake, or by
mulching with fertilizer, lawn now
ings or half-decomposed tree leaves.
In watering give enough water at a
time to penetrate to the lowest root;
little dribbles do little good. Water
plants when they are dry, no matter
what time of day it may be, but the
best time is in the morning and late in
the afternoon and the evening In
dry, hot, sunny weather do not water
plants overhead in the heat of the day !;
some may stand it with impunity, but
others, funkias, for instance, may bis
ter.
In watering from a hose or a water
ing pot, no matter how great the flow
may be, let it fall gently, and never so
forcibly as to rut the ground, and do
not dash it against the ground or
against the stems or roots of the plants.
But good forcible dashing or hosing
of water over the plants and in among
their branches and leaves is excellent;
it refreshes them and keeps them clean
from dirt and insects and enough may
fall upon the ground to satisfy the
roots.
Particular care should be shown in
having flower beds and borders so ar
ranged that rain water shall never
stay in pools about them; have perfect
surface drainage. In artificial water
ing never let the water run off in ruts.

CAUTIONS WARDENS
Gen. Andrews Sends Notice to
His Deputies.

Gen. c. c.. Andrews, chief fire war
den, is now engaged in sending out a
circular of caution and instruction to
fire wardens throughout the state. He
has chosen this time not only because
of the approach of spring, but also for
the reason that the town elections have
recently been held and under the law
the chairmen of the boards of town su-
perviSors are also fire wardens. The
circular reads:
Fire wardens in an ordinary year are
paid 81 a day for not exceeding fifteen
days in year for services actually rem
dered; and as the state now pays two
thirds of the expense and the counties
only one-third it may be assumed that
county commissioners will promptly al
low all reasonable accounts. In dry
and dangerous season. the state. under
sections ind IL of the amended fire
warden laws, pays for all services render
ed in such season.
The great thing. in fire warden service
wardens shall take precautions to pre-
vent fires. They must Gin friendly yet
firm manner) warn those they think like
ly to be careless. They must have no
tees posted, their districts patroled in
a dry season, etc.
There was a drought attended with bad
forest fires on the Pacific coast two years
ago and in the Eastern states year age.
We do not know when drought will pre-
until it has come. We must always be
prepared for one and take such precau-
lions that fires will not occur if it does
come.

He PLEADS POVERTY
DR.. Richeson Says His Prac-
lice Has Been Ruined.

The Richeson divorce suit, on trial
before Judge Bum. continued to be
the most interesting case in the dis
trict court yesterday, the court room
being crowded all day long. It is ex-
pected that the case will be finished
today.
Among the witnesses yesterday were
Mrs. Kate ID. Richeson, plaintiff, and.
DIR. Richeson, defendant The latter's:
mother was also placed on the stand
late in the day. .
DR.. Richeson, who is not opposing the,
application for divorce, but Is contest
ing the demand for alimeny and the
custody of the little daughter, was on
the stand for more than two hours
during the afternoon. He testified that
his practice was not worth more than
$40 per month, contending that 1t had
been ruined by his wife and her friends
since the beginning OF the domestic
troubles in his household.
The witness, who once had a Iu-
crative practice, told the court yester-
day that for the past year he had not
averaged $40 per week. He said he
slept in the Office and took his meals at
restaurants. He did not pay any Of the
Office rent, because he could not afford
to do so.
When asked what personal property
he owned, DR.. Richeson said he had a
watch, but that he had mortgaged it
last fall in order to pay his wife money
which had been ordered paid by the
court
There were more women in the court
room yesterday than there were on the
first day of the trial, and so many peo-
pie sought admission that the court
