The horticultural editor of The
Ranch is in receipt of a letter from
w. J. Brandrith, Ladner, B. c., who
is the secretary and treasurer of the
British Columbia Fruit Growers AS
ISOLATION. The object in writing the
editor was to invite him to judge the
fruit at the Dominion Exhibition to be
held in New Westminster, B. c., Sep
TENDER 81 to October 7. 1t is a mat
ter of much regret that he could not
accept on account of his engagement
at the Lewis and Clark fair. There is
no question but British Columbia

ample testimony to this fact in these
columns last spring. What delight
it would be to mingle with these Brit

Free to Wander.

Boston has had to stand much jok-
ing on the subject of its crooked
streets. Every one has heard of the
stranger who, lost in the tortuous
ways, desperately caught the coat-tails
of the man in front of him, and got
along very well until an abrupt turn
revealed the fact that it was his own
coat-tails to which he was clinging.
Nearly seventy years ago a French.
man gave an Interpretation of the de.
viouSness Of the highways which Is
both pleasant and patriotic. 1t is
found in a book three-quarters of a
century old, called "A Trip to Boston"
by E. c. Wines.
Il have passed a delightful morning
in Boston," writes the author. I'VE
went TO Charlestown in an omnibus
passing through considerable portion
OF the city. The irregularity of the
streets is amazing. 1t is a common
saying that Boston was laid out by
cows, and l can well believe it. The
labyrinth of Crete never equaled it.
l do not say the irregularity is dis
agreeable; on the contrary the effect is
pleasing. To stranger it is a per-
petual surp Use"
Sixty years ago the Marquis of Chat
eliot visited Boston.

zen, you will find Boston streets very

direction"

Standard Fiction Shown to Be Holding
Its Own in America.
1t is becoming quite the thing among
critics to bewail latter-day decadence
in literary taste. We are told that any
book, however silly, can be made to
sell through energetic booming, and
that we as a people, and women espe-
cially, devote our reading time to the
erotic, sensational novel, while the
good old books, the classics of English
literature, dust-laden, lie neglected on
the topmost shelves. Somebody, doubt
ing the validity of the indictment, has
made an investigation. Figures for
1904 were found, and among those
twenty which actually had the largest
sale in this country during 1903 were:
Uncle Toms Cabin" first volume of
"Emerson's Essays" THE Last Of the
Mohicans," The Prince of the House
of David" Irving's sketch Book"
Robinson Crusoe," Darwin's Descent
of Man" and Origin of Species"
"Ivanhoe," 1.-The Tale Of Two Cities"
"Hypatia," Jane Eyre" John Hall
fax, Gentleman" Lorna Doone,"
vanity Fair" Tom Browns School
Days." "Romola," The Last Days OF
Pompeii."
OF course, the above books were all
issued in cheap reprint form, but SO
were a great many others vastly In
ferior in literary quality. 1t is the
good books that live. Where are the
so-called successes of last year and
the year before? Who ever thinks Of
reading them today? The good book

haps, never goes out of print We pick

butchers boy who brought the meat

He thought lie knew something about
horsefesh, and he made a bid for the
animal. a price was arranged, and
the horse changed owners. The cler-
gyman was also the head master of
grammar school, and he rode his uew
mount to his daily duty: but to his dis
appointment the animal had lost all
his fire. Neither whip NOR spur. would
get it out of 4 shuttle, while jfbbing
and shying brought about one or two
spills. In great Indignation he called
on the butcher, who, in his turn. asked
the boy what it meant. He'll be all
right again" said the boy quite seri-
ously, 'if you'll only carry the basket!'

A Remarkable Cure

The proceedings of the Royal Soci-

as they are now. A hundred and fifty
years ago a sailor who had broken his
leg sent to the Royal Society all ac-
count of the remarkable manner in
which he had healed the fracture. His
story was that he had dressed it with
nothing but tar and oGkum, and was
now able to walk we'll This remark
able story naturally caused some eX-
element among the members of the
society. No one had previously sus-
pected tar and oakum of possessing
such miraculous healing powers. The
society wrote for further particulars
and doubted indeed whether the leg
had been really fractured. The truth
Of this part of the story, however, was
proved beyond a shadow Of a doubt.
Several letters passed between the
Royal Society and the sailor, who con-
tinued to assert solemnly that his
broken leg had been treated with tar
and oakum, and with nothing else.
The society might have remained puz-
zled for an indefinite period had not
the sailor added in a postscript 20 his
last letter: Il forgot to tell your hon
ors that the leg was a wooden one"
