The Burbank PtumcOt.

In his researches into plum life Mr..
Burbank had tried to combine a plum
and an almond to see what the result
would be- Interesting as it was from
a spectacular point Of view, it was not
Of sufficient Importance to warrant
further development, but the study led
to the consideration Of the crossing OF
two other species, an apricot and
plum.
A common wild American plum,
japanese plum and an apricot formed
the basis of the experiment, and in
course Of time that which scientific
men had said was an impossibility-the
making of a new fruit-lay before him
accomplished. Nothing stranger has
ever been done by him.
The apricot form and color persist
In the outside Of the new fruit, but
the flesh may be crimson, yellow, pink
or pure white. The pits are sometimes
those of the apricot and sometimes
those Of the plum. Because in the tree
itself there are certain imperfections
not yet overcome, the fruit has not
been given to the world, other work
upon it being still under way. The
favor Of the plumcot, which Is the
name Of the combination, is pronounc-
ed by some superior to that Of any
similar fruit and absolutely unlike any
thing ever before tasted.-Century.

When cleaned this portion was treat

oao-se BERNARD sha,y,s Latest.

"a child is defined as little darling
for limited periods" says G. Bernard
Shaw. ut is in reality savage, cruel,
noisy, dirty, intolerably inquisitive and
indiscreet to the point Of telling the
truth on all occasions, regardless Of the
feelings Of others. The boarding school
is the child's only security from the de-
moralIzing influence Of home, and there
is nothing more demoralizing on the
earth than the middle class home. Nor
al instruction Is all nonsense, while at
tempts at formation Of character are
futile and should be given up. The bur-
den of minding children should be
shared by all, including bachelors, maid
en- ladies and nervous persons, instead
Of throwing it on servants and school
masters. Children should be taught a
little reading, writing and arithmetic;
other subjects should include how to
jump off tram cars, the use Of a rail-
way time table, electioneering and the
universal language"

The growth of a new line Of chart
table activity is shown in the addition
of a chapter to the 1905 edition Of the
Charities Directory published by the
Charity Organization society. This
new chapter gives information of or
CARNATIONS which send nurses to the
homes of needy persons as distinct
from the nursing Of the poor in hos
pitfalls, convalescent homes, fresh air
cottages and other institutions.
The Charity Organization society
movement shows a steady growth.
Since the 1904 directory was published
about twenty new societies have been
added to the roster In the United
States, making 100 In all, and the re-
lief societies listed in Europe and
Australia now total 210.
The directory contains 2,OOe names
of societies, institutions and other
charitable organizations in Manhattan

Collection Box CuriOs.

In one Of the prominent churches Of
Philadelphia, where the weekly ofrer-
ings of the congregation are inclosed in
small envelopes before being dropped
into the boxes, a collection is being
made Of the articles contributed by
the ungodly, and 1t is already large
enough to form the nucleus Of a small
museum. Among the things thus far
found In the envelopes are smooth, mu-
tilated and foreign coins; postage
stamps, exchange tickets, theater seat
checks, assorted buttons, campaign and
other medals, tin tobacco tags, a ciga-
rette, q Washington street car ticket an
iron ring, lozenges, chocolates, chewing
gum, an umbrella tag, pieces of iron,
lead and glass; candy, belt fastener,

there are over 200 Of these Offerings"
which are ultimately to be mounted

Americas Great Achievement.

OF democracy originally British the
most astonishing and triumphant
achievement SO far has been the per-
severing absorption and incorporation
across the Atlantic Of ceaseless tor
rent Of heterogeneous elements from
every point Of the compass into one
united, stable, industrious and pacific
state with eighty millions Of population,
combining the centralized concert Of a
federal system with local independ-
ence and uniting collective energy with
the encouragement Of individual free
dom. How does this stand In COM
parison with the Roman empire, or Ro-
man church, or the Byzantine empire,
or Russia, or Charles the Great, or Ma
poleon? - John Morley in Nineteenth

The Pearl In the Oyster.

The supreme court at Hamburg, Ger
many. has decided who owns the pearl
In the oyster.
A young woman who was eating oys-
tiers in a restaurant found pearl worth
$3.50. Naturally she claimed 1t. A
young man who had paid for the young
woman's oysters was gallant enough to
support her claim. Findings keep
ings" seems to be q rule peculiar to no
country. But the hard hearted restau-
rant keeper wanted the pearl too. 30
he sued to recover 1t. II the chicken
bones belonged to him, why not the
oyster shels-and this particular pearl!
When the case came to trial the court
held that the disputed pearl belonged
neither to the young woman who found
It nor to the restaurant keeper who
sold the oysters. By right 1t went to
the young man who paid for the oys-
tiers. AS he had already declared that
it belonged to his fair companion, he
was doubtless logical enough to give
it to her and she grateful enough to
take it and him. Romance has its re-
quirements as well as law.-Nsw York

"Christinn Israe1ftes."

This sect, founded in the early years
Of the last century by John Wroe, the
son Of a Yorkshire collier, is not very
prominent in England at present, but
it numbers a good many adherents
in America and Australia. The
"Beardies," as they are popularity call

strong in Fitzroy and Collingwood, two
of the eastern suburbs Of Melbourne.

BIG FAMILIES.
They Were Common In the North OF
England In Olden Days.


The north of England seems to be
fertile soil for large families. for in
1897 we read of a Cumberland man
and his wife, accompanied by thirty OF
their children, all attending the chris
tening of the thirty-first child, and in
earlier years another north country
man, Thomas Greenhill, applied to the
then Duke of Norfolk, earl marshal, for
an augmentation to his coat Of arms
on the singular ground that he was
1.-The seventh son and the thirty-ninth
child of one father and mother"
In Conway churchyard there was to
be seen-it can scarcely be there today
"a tombstone bearing the following
remarkable epitaph: Here lyeth the
body of Nicholas Hooker Of Conway,
gentleman. who was the forty first
child of his father, William Hooker,
by Alice, his wife, and the father OF
twenty seven children, 1881"
If mans, family be considered as
including all his descendants, that or
Peter Smith, who flourished In New
Jersey in the seventeenth century, Is
entitled to high place of honor, FOR at
a recent annual gathering of Peters
progeny no fewer than 1000 met and
dined together under the apple trees
in the orchard attached to the ancestral
homestead
In families it is not an unknown
thing for one child to be old enough 10
have sister or brother young enough
TO be his or her great-grandchild. mus
the eldest son Of Thomas Beatty OF
Drumcondra had passed his seventy
third birthday when his youngest
brother qualified for the cradle. When
William Frost Of Galphay, near Ripon'
died in 1889 his eldest child was a
sturdy boy of Lightweight summers
and his youngest was barely sixteen
and the Lady Powerscourt OF today Is
half q century older than her latest
brother.
There are cases on record where a
century or more has divided the we'd
ding days of father and son. The first
Earl of Leicester was first married In
ITS. and his son led his second wife
TO the altar in August, 1878, while Cap
tain Francis Maude, who was married
ON June %, 1S49, was following the
example his father, Lord Hawarden'
had set him ninety-three years earlier
in 1856. But both these cases are quite
eclipsed by that of General G. Steven
son Of Bristol, who was united to his
third wife in 1884 at the age OF eighty
two and whose father was first wed
in 1904, the year Of Blenheim. This
seeming impossibility is accounted for
by the fact that the father, who was
born in 1880, was married for the third
time at the age of seventy, and the gen.
eral was the son of this late union
Thus we get the remarkable result OF
man whose father was born in Charles
lis reign wooing and wedding within
the memory of many people still living.

Knife Carrying In Cubs.

A party writing to the Post recently
mentions the knife carrying habit so
much In vogue In Cuba and asks that
we continue our campaign against 1t.
We will continue the campaign against
this vice until the proper notice has
been taken of 1t, though this be years
from now. All OF the lower classes,
with hardly an exception, carry MUIR
derous knives. If they cannot afford
to buy a knife from store they find
a piece Of steel and sharpen 1t into a
deadly weapon and carry it wrapped
in a piece of paper about their clothes,
ready to use on the slightest occasion.
The result of this Is many murders,
which would not occur under other cir
cumstances. If the police were in
structed to keep on the watch for knife
carriers il would be but a very short
time until the habit would become I'M

Signature of the Future.

The time will probably come when
the natural signature, the impression Of
the thumb or finger tip, will be widely
used for purposes Of Identification. If
the thumb be lightly pressed upon
surface smeared with printing ink and
then pressed upon clean paper an i'm
preston is obtained which is distinc-
tive for the particular individual who
owns the member. No two thumbs or
fingers are alike in the arrangement
Of their multitudinous lines. Each,
therefore. Is a seal which is unique
and q seal which cannot readily be mis-
laid or lost. The French police use this
test TO assure themselves Of the identi-
ty Of a prisoner. but surely the system
could be usefully extended. A news
naper correspondent who recently
pleaded for such an extension of the
tbumb mark test stated that once when
shroad he was in great straits for
money although he held checks for
considerable amount, simply because
he could not prove his identity II the
local banker had only had an impress
s . Of his finger tip as well as au-
thority to pay all difficulty would at
once have vanished.

THE JAPANESE RED CROSS.
probably the Finest Organization OF
the Kind In the World.

The Red Cross society of Japan Is
probably. all things considered, the
finest organization of the kind In the
world. 1t has been growing and Inn
proving constantly since its small ori-
gin In 1877 and now has nearly mil
lion members, an excellent relief or
ganization and large funds. Its meth
DDS are radically different from any
volunteer aid we have yet seen In
America, for its fundamental assump-
ton is that the army knows Its own
business and is competent to attend to
It. Its general attitude instead OF I'M
plying, 1--WE know the medical depart
ment will break down In the field, ana
therefore we insist on going to the
front and into the camps to supply its
defects" indicates this, "The people OF
Japan appreciate so highly the work
Of the medical department hat they
ask the privilege of assisting it."
On the contrary, in the Spanish
American war we had multiplicity
Of small societies, meaning well, but
working blindly and at cross purposes,
accomplishing good at an altogether
disproportionate cost of money and Ia
Dor and not infrequently interfering
with and handicapping the work of the
responsible medical officers.
But in the Japanese-Russian war
there Is single great, well prepared
organization, the ally and assistant OF
the medical officers, working only
where it is instructed that 1t will be OF
use and accomplishing vast good at a
minimum cost.
The japanese Red Cross society Is
characteristic Of the nation, for every
war. campaign and great disaster since
its foundation has been to It's officers a
lesson by which they have profted. In
the present war they are always on the
alert to discover their defects, to learn
how to remedy them and to gain new
Ideas for improvement. 1t was as one
of many means to attain these ENDS
that some American army nurses were
wanted in the japanese hospitals,
where their work could be carefully
observed, and for the same reason the
writer was appointed by the minister
Of war as supervisor of nurses Of the
Red Cross with the rank Of officer,
sent to many hospitals and required to
make reports and recommendations to

lady, by profession teacher, had for
merly held this position, but since her
