The berry was discovered in the New
ark markets, where it was forcing it.
self upon the attention of growers by
being in demand at the highest prices
Traced to its source, it was found to
have originated in a chance seeding
in fence row on the farm of Michael
Ward in Monmouth county. From this
the plants had been propagated from
which the fruit was sold, Reported to
the society, plants were placed out for
trial The reports from these being fa-
vorable, the special fruit committee
visited the plant at home July ?.
The original plat, covering about
year-old plants and four of two-year-
olds. All were loaded with fruit just
beginning to ripen. The report at the
close of the season showed the yield
as sold to have been sixty-nine bush
els. The canes were cut back to about
three feet and We're strong and stocky,
carrying an immense crop of fruit
without stalking. Few suckers were
made, desirable factor in a black
berry patch. The fruit was Jet black,
firm for shipment. yet tender and
melting all through without core and
of the highest quality. A comparison
of it was ''the Kittatinny without its
defects" An object lesson was in the
rows of the Wilson alongside. The
canes of the Ward were stronger and
carried at least three times as much
fruit. Very little fertilization and cui-
ture had been done In all my inquiry
among the members / could not lodge
a complaint against either plant or
fruit. and, having been for three years
before the society, it was very well

She is as good as gold and has given
her whole fife to the poor, but she is
perfectly tired to death of fake charity
workers, who try to worm themselves
into her private life by using their ac-
quaintance with her at the settlement.
They come here and they gush over
the poor, and then they gush over her
and write her notes about the work.

and his following were trying to make
bull market by plunging purchases of GER
tain stocks-it was a few months after his
successful Louisville and Nashville coup
there was an outburst of indignation from
the Conservative because Mr.. Gates firm
was borrowing fifty millions of money from
the banks. The same banks. after the Chi
eago crowd had lacked UP prices ten or
twenty points, also were stricken with in
dignation and called loans on Mr. Gates, to
whom they had been so nice few weeks
before. The Chicagoans thought the banks
were trying to smash the Gates party, and
because of their lifelong habits they said
what they thought But the moral of the
story is that it does not take many John w.
Gateses to make a very respectable public
respectable, at all events, in point of stock
carrying capacity. And there is every rea-
son to believe that many men of the Gates
type in the market today and that in
addition there is that commission house ele-
ment which always speculates This does
not include the professional traders in the
exchange itself. The next time you are in
a street car observe how many men who
do not spend their days in Wall street turn
the first thing to the financial pages of their
evening papers. And If you watch their
faces closely you may tell whether the mar
ket that day has been strong or weak with
out having to consult the table of quota
tions in your own paper These men are
the public-the public that is not in the
market today.

Reality of Our Ignorance.

From the London Spectator.
After all are we not still ignorant of
much which we feel we ought to under
stand? Apart from the great laws of cleo
tricfty, light and heat, about which we
know something, but certainly not all, are
we not almost hopelessly ignorant of some
of the laws which govern the lives of ami
mails? Do we know, for instance, what is
the law which make it possible for a bee
carried five or six miles from her home,
blind in a dark box. to find her way back
to the hive? What Is the sense exercised
by the antennae of the virgin moth, which.
set out in a muslin box on lawn attracts
suitors from woodlands scattered away In
all the country round? What is the attrac-
ton felt choice decided upon by the
tendril of the climbing plant which turns
aside from the smooth wall to catch at and
wrap around the nail or the ledge or the
projection which is to help it upward? All
that is unknown. hardly even guessed at
and if there is so great an ignorance OF
what can be seen, is it logically to be ar
gued that there is not a greater ignorance
of what Is unseen? One thing at least Is
certain-the reality of that ignorance.

SUCCESS IN BUSINESS.
Only Five in 100 Said to Succeed in
Business.

Franklin MacVeagh told the Physicians
Club in Chicago recently that he was will
ing to see the 95 per cent of business men
who failed chloroformed to satisfy the Os-
lerites.
The subject for consideration was: When
Shall We Be Chloroformed?" Mr.. Mac
Veagh was replying to the question, when
Shall the Business Man Shuttle Off?'
II am willing to feed out the % per cent
Of incompetents to Osler in order to save
the per cent who are fitted to survive" he
said. "Only per cent of the men who en-
bark in business succeed; 95 per cent fail.
did not make the world; l am not re-
sponsible that the % per cent. like Richard
ILL., came half made up into the world.
They cannot meet the competition, but per-
haps they could have done well as college
professors"
Mr. MacVeagh seemed to take seriously
the Osler program, which his fellow-speak-
ers treated facetously. He indicated old
men by the example of the conquering Japa-
nese, whose emperor, generals, statesmen,
thinkers, all are old men, while the Russian
car Is young.

Perspective of Maps.
New York Evening MaII

From the New York Evening Nail.
1t is time that maps were printed on a
uniform scale. The habit of looking at your
own state, country or hemisphere a
sheet the size of a blanket and the rest
of the world on a hands breadth of vari-
colored paper has deranged the present
generations sense of perspective Half of
the troubles that affiict the nations are due
to the mental strabismus caused by these
misleading maps.
We believe it can be demonstrated that
the international jealousy of Russia dates
back to the time when, diplomats and edi-
torial writer's became familiar with the
''Mercator projection" This device ignores
the fact that the globe tapers down at the
poles considers It as fiat surface. and SO
exaggerates the Arctic domain of Russia
that the czar seems to have more than
half the land in the world; 1t makes Green
land bulk larger than South America. No
wonder that nations want Russia trimmed
The "Mercator projection" also accounts
for what has been called Canadian cock
mess" 1t makes the dominion look nearly
twice as large as the United States.
