Kamranh Bay, by way Of Saigon. April
27.-The only ships remaining in Kamranh
Bay are four German transports. All the
rest of the transports and the Russian
hospital ship Orel and other vessels left
behind by Admiral Roiestvensky left the
bay yesterday morning.
This fleet is now assembled outside the
bay and forms an extended line stretching
from Cape Varela to the head of the
Kamranh Peninsula. Torpedo boats are
scouting in all directions. The ships seem
to be awaiting Vice-Admiral N6Dogatoff's
division.
The French cruiser Descartes having on
board ADMIRAL de Jonquieres, the French
Commander i'm these waters, returned TO
Nhatrang, near Kamranh Bay, after
steaming round the Russian squadron
and subsequently returned to Saigon.
The two freight laden steamers cap

they are suspected of having contraband

little of the land is under cultivation,
and water is scarce and precious

trackless, treeless waste which is
bounded only by a lowering sky.
Prairie dogs are the chief denizens
of this region, and as the train whirls
past they perch themselves on their
hind legs and sit bolt upright as mo-
tionless as a statue. There are few
houses, but they are at wide intervals
The one single advantage that lone

that by following the railroad track
sufficiently far he will reach a town
some day; but walking at this season
under the burning prairie sun and in
a waterless country is by no means
pleasant.

true, it must be next to appalling to

The Growing of Sugar Beets,

They had never regretted engaging

And now, because of the miserable

"That I could never do, Juliette.
You are still young woman, and the
day may come when you will marry
and have your own home and need
the money, and might not oe able to
return it right away"
Juliette looked up, and in voice
trembling with emotion, said:
"You need never give it back to
me. My family, my home, is the boy
that I have nursed at my bosom, at
whose bed have sat night after night
when he was sick, and you, Captain,
who have always been SO good to me:

must never, dare never know. You
can accept my money; it almost be-
longs to him already. can say it
now; it is for him that I have saved
all these years, and I thank God that
you need it."
Suddenly the old officer understood
and when he looked at the woman
who stood before him, her eyes filed
with tears, he was sure.
"He is your SOM" he asked. She
did not answer, but sank back in the
chair sobbing. The old captain went
over to her, bent down and kissed
her forehead.

captain ROdary was taking his
daily walk along the Marne. In spite
of his seventy years he still carried
himself erect and hardly leaned on
the cane which he carried since he
haG lain down the sword.
At the bridge he was hailed by a
fisherman whom he had known for
several years.
ALLOW me to congratulate you, Cap
tain, that your nephew has passed his
examination with honor
Il thank you, Paul."
The captain continued his walk, lost
in thought. Without knowing it the
man had touched tender spot. The
young Rene Dubinsson had indeed
passed his examination ahead of all,
and thereby gained the right to enter
Ecole Polytechnique in Paris, and the
old Captain was justly proud of him,
but there were other things which
people did not know.
To give the man an education the
Captain had made great sacrifices,
and now he did not know wherefrom
to get the money to pay for him
while at the Ecole Polytechnique.
The young man was really not his
nephew at all, but only his waru.
There are in life people who lose so
people who find.
Eighteen years before, while the
Captain was stationed at Vincennes,
he had found baby boy on his door,
step one morning, as he was leaving
his house.
Three months before he had lost
his only child, a little girl of three
years, and SO he and his wife decid-
ed to keep the boy and gave out that
he was their nephew.
Then came the time when the Cap
tain was pensioned, his wife died, and
the education and maintenance of
Rene cost quite little money, especi-
ally as his nurse, Juliette, had remain
ed in the house.
The budget was painfully small-a
pension of $500 francs a year and
900 francs from the Legion Of Honor.
His wifes dowry had all gone to pay
for the education of the boy.
And now he would have to 70 to
Paris to study, and that would mean
so francs for his equipment and 1000
francs year for tuition and board.
Where was all that money to come
from?

Cherry Budded on Own Roots.

A well known horticulturist says
that he never gratis the cherry on it's
own roots; for he finds in cese Of do
ing that that the root sprouts and
sends up new growth and the orig
inal scion dies. This of course pre-
vents the using Of the variety involved
and gives worthless Seeding instead.
It is better to plant trees that have
been budded on Mazzard or Mahaleb
stock, which will never sprout. One
OF the most annoying conditions of
cherry growing will then have been
done away with. All of the substance
taken from the soil will go into the
main tree instead of into sprout, and
the tree will keep on growing.
Where orchards have been planted
too closely the only way to improve
conditions. is to cut out every other
row and then thin the limbs of the
trees where needed. An orchard SO
treated will frequently produce more
and better fruit than it did before the
cutting out Of half Of the trees.
