can send an eleven-pound package
across the ocean by mail and the Am
erican express companies will carry
it to San Francisco and the whole cost
from London TO San Francisco will be
much less than for what it can be
sent from New York to San Francisco
by express, and it can't be sent by
mail at all. That is, our American
express companies will take an eleven
pound package that comes to them
by mail from England and carry it
across the continent for much less
than they will carry it for an Ameri-
can from New York to San Francisco
This owing to the fact that the British
postofice department has made an ar
rangement with these American ex-
press companies to carry eleven-pound
packages of merchandise to any point
in the United States for much less
than they will carry it if it does not
come to them in the British mail. How
long will the American people stand
this kind of thing? Let the congress
of the United States pass a law max
ing the express companies carry an
eleven-pOund package at the same
rates that are enjoyed by the British,
and Immediately the express COM
panies of this country will come down
and meet this rate and make money at
it too.
Occasionally I find that something
I have written is seriously marred by
typographical errors. Ii what l write
won't read so as to make any sense,

Early in my life these typographical
plumbers worried me but have gotten
entirely over that. While I have suf-
fered somewhat I have never had
case as bad as that of young poet OF
whom I read once. He wrote poem
descriptive of stroll he had with his
sweetheart and the following line ap-
peared: 'T kissed her under the
silent stars" He felt that was de-
cidedly poetic and who would not that
ever had that experience? He handed
his poem in to a local paper and
anxiously waited it's appearance. I'M
agine his feelings when he read: Il
kicked her under the cellar stairs!"
Joseph Hutsby, of Mill City, Ma.
riOn Co., Ore, writes the editor OF
this department under date OF April
10, 1905, as follows: GAS l have seen
a few articles in The Ranch on the
seedless and coreless apple, thought
| would write you little know OF
one kind A few years ago | saw an
advertisement in the American Agri-
culturist about seedless and core
less apple So I sent and got few
CRAFTS, for which they charged me
$3.50, and said they were selling
yound trees at $500 apiece. After
waiting a few more years they bore
fruit, but, like all big blows, were no
account, only for a curiosity. The
bloom is very small and the apples
are small and of poor flavor. There
are seeds in some of the apples have
but few branches left as l do not
care to keep them"
By the way, as a finale to this seed
less apple question, l wish to mention
the fact that the Deseret Farmer pub
lished at Logan, Utah, tells story of
one of the men who is trying to ex-
plot that seedless apple in that state,
who claims to have the third genera
ton of this SeedleSS apple. Think or

American Unselfishness.

From the National Magazine
When we stop to consider the millions and
millions of foreigners who have come to
America and have become loyal and pros
porous citizens, the results astonish even
the keenest students of sociology. The re-
making of natives of half dozen countries
into American citizens is no small under
taking, and involves a constant succession
of economic sacrifices on the part of those
already engaged in our industries that is in
the highest degree honorable to their unset
fish humanity.

PROSPECT Is BRIGHT
Mr.. Smith Talks of Cuba and
Isle of Pines.
COUNTRY VERY PRETTY
WONDERFUL CHANGES IN HAV-
ANA IN FEW YEARS.
Anxiety of Isle of Pines People to Come
Under the American
Government.

Mr. F. II. Smith of this city recently re-
turned from trip in Cuba and the Isle of
Pines, where he had unusual opportunities
to observe the changes that are taking
place in those countries since they were re-
leased from the control of Spain. The de-
veopment of the Isle of Pines particularly
struck him on account of the large number
of Americans who have made their homes
in that small island, where there is
wealth of nature and where there is such
fine climate that active preparations are
under way for the upbulding of a great
sanitarium.
II left here" said Mr.. Smith, in discuss
ing this matter with a Star reporter, Feb
ruary % last and went to Havana. That
city was teeming with life when 1 reached
1t, and the place was SO thoroughly filled
up that had l not engaged rooms in ad-
vance it would not have been possible for
me to get accommodations. l could not
have engaged another room at the hotel for
$40 a day. This condition was brought
about by the fact that there were two shows
in the town, one an automobile race and
the other a flower show. The flower show
surpassed anything l have ever seen. There
were two or three hundred carriages or au-
tomobles in line, and every one of them
was covered with choice flowers, as was the
harness of the two, four or six-horse turn
outs. The scene was made unique by the
throwing from the sidewalks and from bal
comics of colored paper ribbons, which was
done to such an extent that when the pa
rade was over the street was literally cush-
Toned with this paper. The ribbon was in
rolls of fifty feet each and half an inch
wide. The show used up all the flowers
available in Havana, and many more were
imported from Florida.

The origin of red hair has been discussed
more less by scientists, but without
attaining a conclusion any more definite
than that concerning the origin of man.
The Saxons and other northern tribes were
fiaxen-haired while the Gauls and those
further south were darker haired. That
red hair may have come of the blending
of these two is possible. This is the
view taken by some who have given the
subject careful consideration.

Many Protestant Churches.

''One change l noticed during this trip to
Cuba which had taken place since L was
last there was in connection with the num-
Der of Protestant churches that have been
built on the island. Protestant churches
are now scattered all over the island. When
l wass there last, when the island was I'M
der Spanish rule, there was but a single
Protestant church., and that was in Ha
Vana. The most prominent movement in
that direction was the establishment of the
Young Mems Christian Association on the
same lines of work that such institutions
pursue in this country. This institution is
just starting. The building Is of 100 feet
front and of two stories The idea has
proved so popular that already it has 500
subscribers, although 1T is not organized
yet. 1t will be especially welcome to young
men who go to Cuba. For such young men
there are no social opportunities, and the
institution will give them surroundings that
will prove of immense benefit.
Americans are going into Cuba and are
making very large investments of capital.
These investments are in Havana as we'll
as in other parts of the island.
