RAiSlN q SEEDLESS FL UlTS.
Some. Success "a chieved with Apples,
ISL. Plums and Cherries in the ~
S1.Isx Last Few Years. q. ?.

A veteran nurserymanl of Colorado
heralds the fact that after years of pa
tient experiment in grating and budding
he has secured q seedless apple. Modest
,ly the creator has withheld information
OF his success until he has secured 40
trees OF his new variety, says local in
formant. Expert pomologists have ex-
amlned the new apple, and declare it. to
be very handsome in appearance. De-
tails of the methods by which this
achievement was attained have not been
dlvulged, but when it is ; remembered
that the million-box crop of navel
oranges came from single shipment of
six slips the start that has already been
attained with 40. productive trees
presages an early appearance of the
seedles apple in commerce. F."
The department of agriculture, as we'll
as many grape growers, have been work
ing, for years on the problem of a seed
less grape, and, while rumors of success
have appeared from time to time during
the past decade, the Sultana and Thomp-
son seedless varieties have during the
past year established their reputation
among the viticulturists. The Japanese
plum, without a stone, is also reported q
reality, although the seeds have not
been obviated. Cherries without stones
are promised in the immediate future.
Seedless. tomatoes are alleged to have
been perfected by an Indiana woman, be-
ing grown from the stock of tho toms t0
which is replanted when it is at it's full
height. Watermelons of the same freak
nature are also rumored from Georgia,
but not much credence is placed in this
report, though if tomatoes have been
perfected there is no essential reason
why similar success should not be at
tanned with the watermelon.

BABY fGOcART3 I'm CHICAGO


Chicago has more gocarts adapted to
the use of small children Of American
parents than any other city in the
world And the. demand for the. gocart
is still growing, in spite of the fact that
some: of the medical authorities OF
Great Britain have been writing mono
graphs upon it's use by American women
who are visiting that kingdom.
Two things above all others in Chi
cago. have made for the demands for the
gocart. First of these is. the fiat build
ing; second, the congested downtown
district, which may bring the mother
of the middle class seven miles to State
street to buy two yards of ribbon. And
coming down town with the baby that
is in short dress, howis it possible with
out the gocart? How, otherwise,
could she get down from a fourth-foor
apartment with the perambulator? And
how else is it possible for her to put
it on an elevated train, as with the 60
cart, and bring it into the loop dis
trict? .--,q... =.
But, in spite of all this, the British
physician is quoted as saying of the 60
cart in the United States: perhaps ba-
bies of too tender al BE are not put in
them; perhaps in the rush of trans
atlantic city life such trifles as curva-
ture of the spine and malformation of
other bones do not count"
Looking over the modern gocart as
it is seen in the stores at prices rang
ing from $2.75 to $4.95, the layman who
may have baby of his own is struck
with the fact that in all probability the
designs we're not attested by any par
ticular body of men or women who have
at heart the improvement of the human
race. Such a machine seems in the
first place adapted to the convenience OF
space rather than to the convenience and
comfort of the baby that is to sit in it.
1t will fold up until it isn't thicker than
an ordinary mattress, and in it's folded
condition it will stand alone when the
baby might tumble headlong. ;. The bot

TURN OVER TIME
When Nature Hints About Food.

When there's no relish to any food and
all that one eats doesn't seem to do any
good then is the time to make turn
over in the diet, for that's Natures way
of dropping hint that the food isn't the
kind required.
For a number Of years I followed
railroad work, much of it being Office
work OF trying nature. Meal times
were our busiest and eating too much
and too quickly of food such as is COM
monty served in hotels and restaurants,
these together with the sedentary habits
were not long in giving me dyspepsia
and stomach trouble which reduced my
weight from 205 to 100 pounds.
"Therewa little relish in any food and
none Of it seemed to do me any good. It.
seemed the more l ate the poorer got
and was always hungry before another
meal, no matter how much had eaten.
Then commenced a fair trial OF
Grape-Nuts and was surprised how
small saucer of it would carry me along,
strong and with satisfied appetite, until
ythe next meal, with no sensations OF
hunger, weakness or distress as before.
-. Il have been following this diet now
for several months and my improvement

family have taken up the use Of Grape
Nuts with complete satisfaction and
much improvement in health and brain

seph B. De Lee as return question. ''Or

present babies of the gocart have grown
to these adult experiences they may get
an idea of some former existence from
the jaunting car and the blackboard. Ger
tainly one may imagine the babes get
ting about the same relative shaking ur
from the gocart.
THE menace of the gocart, l should
say, would be in putting babies into it
before they are old enough to sit up
properly, 1t would be impossible to give
a positive age limit at which babies may
be put into such a cart for the reason
that such babies at eight months old
are more able to sit'up than are others
that are year and half old In gen.
eral, however, a baby should not be put

This is not to say that child will
be thrown out of shape because of little
riding in such vehicle; in all probable
ity it's greatest suffering would come
from the shaking up it would receive in
the beginning. At the most this would
reflect upon the nervous condition of the
child and keep it awake when it should
be asleep. But if the human body at
any stage Of its development were so
susceptible to gocart postures as to crook
spine and thighs and bones of the pei
Wis, there wouldn't be a straight man in
Chicago.
The mother of the child nowadays
does not expect to stay at home and be-
come a nurse; she wishes to get out of
doors herself and she wants to take
her child into the air. The gocart is
the solution of the difficulty, especially
if the mother lives in fiat or an apart
ment In coming down town, where
the mother cannot leave the child with
competent nurse, the gocart is the only
possible means by which she can get
into State street for shopping. She
cannot strap the child to her back. and
she cannot carry it; she trundles the
little one to the car line, folds up the
cart, and stores it in a corner until she
reaches her destination, after which the
child may be put back into it and be
wheeled all over the loop district, 1.-THE

papers telegraph service is steadily
increasing in volume. While Phoenix
local papers very good in their field,
print three hundred to five hundred
words of telegraph news each day, The
Republican prints from 1000 to 5000
words of news fresh from the wire. Our
readers are not called upon to accept
stale articles clipped from eastern
papers, related and possibly rewritten,
and local news from territorial ex
changes. related. as telegraph news
These are some OF the reasons why the
circulation of The Republican is great
er today than ever before.
1t is also gratifying to be able to say
that the volume of advertising in this
paper is larger now than at any time
in the past history of The Republican.
Contracts with home advertisers for
the coming year are more numerous
and call for greater space than ever
before, and foreign advertising is
steadily growing in quantity. notwith
standing the rule to make but n single
rate to all advertisers. Nearly every
other newspaper in the world. big or
little, quotes lower rates TO out-of-
town advertisers than to home mer-
chants.
Our readers have noted, also, that
during the year a certain class of legal
ng-'incorporation notices"
and advertising from the territory--has
largely disappeared from our columns
This is because we nave refused to ac-
cept business except at reasonable fig
ures And yet, while we no longer
carry matter of this class to any ex-
tent, az against many columns of it
constantly a year ago. at the regular
rates, our volume of advertising is
larger now by far than it was year
ago. Twelve months ago it was very
rarely necessary to print more than
eight pages of a single issue.
Again, we wish everybody Happy
New Year!

CURRENT COMMENT
MR.. cARNEGIE'S THoUsANDTH
LIBRARY.

The correspondence of the local au-
thorities of Scarborough, England, with
Mr.. Carnegie discloses the fact that the
great iron master has proffered his
thousandth library building.
In the three years since his gifts for
this purpose began he has planned for
nearly a library a day emitting sun
days. The money offered has ranged
in amount from $500 allotted to Bare
Rapids, Kans., to 100000 for Pitts
burg, s7,500,000 for Detroit, and $4,000
900 for Washington. New York has
been rendered about $4,000. 900 and the
United States altogether $63, 900, 600.
Scotland has come in for 100000 and
Cuba for s250,O0O. The aggregate Of Mr.
Carnegies benefactions in this line was
computed at above $40, 200, 900 last May,
when the number of libraries enriched
by his bounty was only $50.
There has been a proposal in Ger
many to set up a monument to mark
the place where the kaiser killed his
thousandth stag. AS monuments GO
Mr. Carnegie's thousandth library offer
is at least equally worthy of comment

means may be heightened by rejecting
that a single copy of a new book sub

WILD ANIMALS.
Curious Methods Adopted in Their

"A curious method of capturing wild

with most animals the most effective

of the opiatic bullet / do not know
whether the word opiatic is good, but
it expresses briefly my meaning very
well. Traps and snares of any descrip-
ton are apt to result in the injury of
animals but with the opiatic bullet
such a contingency is almost imposs-
ble, and capture of the beast abso-
lutely certain. The bullet was origin
ated by a doctor in Maine. Some cir:
Gus or geological garden wanted speci-
mems of the moose and offered lib e
eral price for any that were uninjured
and in a healthy condition when
brought to them. Hunters and trap
pers alike failed in their effort to Sc
cure any, and were greatly hampered
in their attempts by the laws OF
Maine designed to protect the moose.
The price offered for the animals was
big enough to tempt anyone, and, in
the course of time. coming to the no
tice of the physician. a hunter as well
as medic, by the way, he gave it a
great deal of thought, and finally an
idea occurred To him. He spent one
entire evening in the seclusion of his
own room. doing just what not even
any member of his family knew, and
the next morning armed with only 4
double barreled shotgun, he started
for the customary haunts of the moose.
That evening he returned with his gun,
but otherwise empty handed. A little
later he started back to the woods TAX
ing with him two strong villagers,
a wagon and a big crate, and ere dawn
was at his home again with a huge
moose securely boxed in that wooden
cage. an enraged but apparently un-
injured beast. He repeated that per-
Torrance several times and then his
secret leaked out. He had made the

Toll the bell sadly, the Old Year is
dead,
With it's joys and sorrows forever 'tis
fled,
With its griefs and its pleasures; its
woes and delights,
With it's merry May mornings and
grim winter nights,
And we pause for a moment to lean
DER the bier.
And to shed for the past a regretful
tear.
And the face of the Bygone appears to
All wrinkled with age:-once fresh as
the dew,
Yet a face that we loved. spite of
wrinkles and age,
a face that we read, as a full written
page.
Here burrows tell of trouble, there u
scar speaks of strife,
Marks indelbly stamped on every
But light lines OF laughter we also can
trace,
And a smile on the lips gives grace to
the face.
But while we are viewing the past
thus Ouispread.
Comes the face of another to hide that
of the dead
A bright and joyous one, with radiant
air.
The Past fades from our vision. the
Future beams fair.
'Tis the New Year, the usurper bold.
Wrenching the scepter from the dead
Kings hold,
JOY beams in his eye, hope illumines
his face,
The New eYar we throne in the Old
Years place
And merrily shout while the bells we
ring,
The hing is dead, long live the KING

Immediate Need of Fire Plugs.

There have been three fires in Phoe-
nix within q week. both far beyond any
fire plug. In the case of the capitol
building fire all the hose belonging to
the department, and the department is
well supplied with hose, was unavail-
ing. All fires occurred within the city
limits and the houses in which they
broke cut were under the supposed
protection of the city. The capitol
building fire but for the almost indie
structible character of the building
would have the most disastrous in the
history of the territory.
In the case of the fire at Fifth ave-
nue. and Bennett Lane yesterday after
noon there was enough hose, 1850 feet
but the whole department had to be
called out to furnish it. That involved
fatal delay. and the destruction of
two houses, enc of which would have
been saved ii there had been a fire
plug within a reasonable distance. Ev-
hose had been on the ground and at
tached to a plug six blocks away, the
firemen could not have done good work.
That is too long a distance to pump
effectively through fire hose.
1t is understood that residents of
the additions will ask the council to
make an immediate arrangement for
their protection. They have been al
armed by the circumstance that the
fires occurred in unprotected localities.
They might not have felt the need of
protection if the fires had broken out
in protected. localities.
In view of the fact that the city is
now engaged in the matter of securing
municipal system and that it will be
months before the system under the
most favorable circumstances can af-
ford them the necessary protection,
they will ask the council to put in
needed fire plugs pending the arrange
ment for a municipal system. This is
a duty Of the council which has late
ly been Illuminated by three blaz-
ing fires and made plain.
