culIlvAIlNe THE cHll.p.
How any Trait May Be Fixed Tn .
 Normal Hnmnn Being.

There is not a single desirable attri- bute which. lacking in plant, may not be bred into it. Choose what improve. ment you wish in a flower, a fruit Or tree, and by crossing, selection, culti- vation and persistence you can fix this desirable trait irrevOcably. Pick out any trait you want in your child, grant ed that he is a normal child, be it hon. esty, fairness. purity, lovableness. in dustry, thrift, what not By surround Ing this child with sunshine from the sky and your own heart, by giving the closest communion with nature, by feeding him well balanced, nutritious food, by giving him all that Is implied in healthful environmental influences and by doing all in love you can thus cultivate in this child and fix there for all his life all of these traits-natu- rally not always to the full in all cases at the beginning of the work, for he redity will make itself felt first, and, as in the plant under improvement there will be certain strong tendencies to re- version te former ancestral traits, but In the main with the normal child you can give him all these traits by pa tiently, consistently guiding him in these early formative years.
 And, on the other side, give him foul air to breathe, keep him in dusty fac tory or an unwholesome schoolroom or a crowded tenement up under the hot roof: keep him away from the sun- shine, take away from him music and laughter and happy faces, cram his lit tie brains with so called Knowledge, all the more deceptive and dangerous because made so apparently adaptable to his young mind; let him have asso- ciates in his hours out of school, and at the age of ten you have fixed in him the opposite traits. He is on his way to the gallows. You have perhaps seen a prairie fire sweep through the tall grass across a plain. Nothing can stand before it; it must burn itself out. That is what happens when you let the weeds grow up in child's life and then set fire to them by wrong environ ment.-Luther Burbank in Century.

Fast Melon Trains

During the past three weeks Im- perlal Valley cantaloupes have been going east in solid trains on passenger time. More than three hundred cars have gone east, the route selected be-
 ing over the Southern Pacific and Rock Island, the time from thls valley to Chicago. being only five and half days. From Fl Paso to Chicago the run Is made in 7 hours over the Rock Island railroad This is gain of 34 hours over the old schedule of lO5 hours between these points. It Is claimed by the freight agents of the two railroads that the service they are furnishing the melon growers of this valley has rever been equalIed for. among all the millions of cantaloupes sent to market this year. not one has arrived except in the very best condl- ton. The railway agents consider this a remarkable performance, from the standpoint of transportation, and no doubt 1t Is, but they must bear in mind that the extraordinary quality of the Imperial'Valley cantaloupes had much to do.wlth it. Our cantaloupes are of the verysbest Ii Is possible to grow any where on earth, and were packed and shipped In the pink of condition. The railway company added Its best service to our.best efforts, and the result has been shown in.high prices for much of the season'and good prices throughout The melonE growers business can be considered established beyond perad- venture.

Farm Rrevities.

Keep the celery plant bed well culti- vated and scrupulously clean of weeds. If really first class plants are wanted do not allow them to stand thicker than about twenty-five to the square foot, and less will be better. Apply nitrate of soda in small quantities, say 100 to POO pounds an acre.
 Recent investigations indicate that when liquid manure is applied to the soil the plant food in the manure is absorbed and held in the soil and is not immediately washed out if not made use of by the plants.
 In using nitrate of soda as fertilizer for corn it Is advised to drop 1t three to six inches away from the seed corn.
 Redtop is an accommodating grass, as 1t can be sown nearly any time In the growing season and will do well on land that is too wet for timothy or has too much acidity.
 A True Fish Story.
 Here is a fish story told by a British nobleman: An Irishman had caught a big pike. Noting lump in its stom- ach, he cut it open. "As I cut it open there waS mighty rush and a flap ping of wings, and away flew wild duck, and when I looked inside there was a nest, with four eggs, and she had been afther sitting on that nest"

THE CHRISTIAN"
Strong Play Witnessed by Large and
Appreciative Audience.

That the people of Pendleton ap-
preciate serious plays as we'll as
comic operas was proven last night
when "The Christian" was presented
to az large audience. Not only was
the old Frazer theater will filled for
John Sainpolis and his troupe, but
the enthusiasm was there, too, and It
found expression in frequent curtain
calls.
The play of 1.-THE Christian" wheth-
er it be true to the book or not. is a
good and powerful production. 1t is
play that appeals to those who love
the good and true, which includes
most of the human family. The world
would be better were there more of
such plays on the road.
As John Storm, the leading char
acter of the play, John Sainpolis is
good. He is suited for that kind of a
role, aud fills it admirably. Lillian
Lawrence, as Glory Quayle, is the OBJ
ject of interest in the play, and some
strong emotional acting is required OF
her. OF the lesser lights in the play
Sterling Lord Whitney as Horatio
Drake, makes a manly character and
at times rivals with the leading man
for tho sympathy of the audience
Burt L. King as Lord Robert Ure, a
