Mr.. WILSON GETS A LEMON
Orange Tree Fools Scientists with
Wrong Kind Of Fruit.
Florida Product on Japanese stock
Creates Citrus Like an Orange,
with Juice of Lemon.

Much TO the surprise Of officials Of the
Department Of Agriculture they have on
their hands a tree full OF lemons when
they were expecting oranges.
However. the discovery made yesterday
is regarded as of the greatest import
ance. and it may mean a revolutionizing
Of the Iemon-growing industry of this
country
Several months ago Prot. p. T. Gallo
way, chief Of the Bureau Of Plant Indus
try. and Herbert " Webber, his assist
ant. began experiments on grating q
Florida orange tree and the japanese
orange tree, known as trifoIata.
When the fruit was ready 10 pick to-
day, several Of the supposed oranges
were taken off the tree and peeled. It
was found that they were thin skinned.
and they gave every appearance Of the
orange until one OF the assistants bit one
Of them
The puckering of his lips told the tale
palmer tkan his words. 1T isn't an
orange at all; it's a lemon the blamed
tree has handed us he exclaimed.
Prof. Galloway was much interested at
once. He, too, tasted of the fruit. and
found il as sour as a lime He hurried to
Secretary Wilson with the discovery, and
made a glass Of excellent lemonade for
the Cabinet member.
The departments scientists are puzzled
of the production Of lemons when they
expected oranges, and have set about to
Investigate the cause. The japanese
orange is not so sweet as the Florida or
California orange. but no person around
the department expected such a result
This viii be one Of the features Of Secre-
tary Wilson's annual report.

DR.. u. S. G. Bieber is the owner. of
the largest white oak tree in Pennsyl-
vania. This beautiful specimen Of n
tree stands almost il the centre Of a
large field in Maxatawny township.
about one mile and q half from Kutz-
town. The circumference Of this giant
at the level Of the ground is thirty-one
feet; circumference four feet from the
ground, nineteen feet ten inches; cir
conference six feet from the ground,
eighteen feet four inches; greatest
spread of branches land trunk, ;104
feet; height Of tree (estimated), seven
ty-three feet eight inches. It's small
height as compdred with it's great
spread of branches might indicate that
it always has been a field tree and that
it either stood in IN opening before
the white oaks took possession Of the
soil OIL that it started since the civilized
settlers cleared the ground. Though
the trunk is hollow and there is an
opening into it on the northern side
near the ground, there appears to be no
reason why this giant oak might not,
with proper care, last for centuries.
Considering the vast spread of its
branches there is 10 other Pennsyl-
vania tree approaching it in size which
is at once SO symmetrical and so beau

Temperance Notes-

In France scientific temperance IS
regularly taught and examined in all
the State schools.
Let the women of the land keep on
praying for temperance and the men
keep on voting. Faith and works
linked together will bring about sue
cess.
In Victoria (Australia) teaching on
health and OH the nature and effects OF
alcohol is placed OH the list of compu!-
sorry subjects taught in all the pubic
elementary schools.
Lord Charles Berssford has taken a
seat on the water wagon, and is en-
thusiastic in his declarations concern
ing the benefits Of total abstinence.
The most active temperance cam
paign in the country Is that which the
Church Federation is conducting in
Indian Territory for constitutional pro-
hibition. The w. c. II. U. is also
doing its part brayely.
In Canada, with the exception of two
provinces, hygiene and science instruc'
ton on the effects of alcohol are COM
pulsory subjects in all public elemen-
tary schools. throughout the Dominion.
In'the two excepted provinces teaching
on temperance is given.

A Russian Chief oil Police.

1.-THE Night that Made Me a Revo-
Iutionist," in E~verybody's, is the tale
of a young Russian peasant. Speak
ing through the mouth Of Ernest
Poole. the writer, the young revolu-
ZIONIST tells the following incident: =,
Toward evening both of us were
called to the police station. We were
taken in before the Chief of Police.
HE was a man of fifty. He was not
at all like the. priest, but short and
burly, with a thick sotc neck and a
face all red and puffed out; his fingers
trembled from vodka. He had been
in the army, and had now been given
this easy place; he had never learned
TO read or write till after he was
thirty. He always had. trouble TO
speak, for his breath came short, MS
brain was clouded, and you could see
by his eyes that he was always trying
to grab his thoughts and hold them
together. He showed all the signs OF
n vodka drunkard. Every morning ne
was sad; every afternoon he was
cross; every evening he got more anu
more stupid.
1--WE found him in a cross period.
He lay on the sofa wrapped in a long
gray cloak. The cloak was unbut-
toned in front, and you could see his
black, hairy chest. He held a cigar
very tight in his teeth; a white cat lay
in his lap, and his fat red hands kept
trembling over the cats back"

M, Whites First Day in Paris.

M. Witte, the Russian plenipoten'
tiary, i, once more in Paris. .Apropos
of the short s~ojourn he is making al
the present moment in the capital, one
of the papers recalls the first visit ne
paid to this city. 1t was in 1879, when
he was thirty years of age, and ne mad
lust finished his studies at the n
versity. The day of his arrival he was
sauntering along the qnays OF the
Seine. and coming to the Palais Bour-
bon he said to himself: II might as
we'll see what is going on in the Cham
Der of Deputies" But he had no en-
trance card. That did not make much
difference to him, however. He walked
in. and when an usher stopped him and
asked him for his card, he replied, Il
have none" .
"Then, monsieur, you cannot go IN
"But l desire very much to 60 in.
"Do you know any Of the DeputlesT'
"No."
"Do you know the PRESIDENT"
ayes" replied young Witte, although
he had never seen him in his life, but
imagined that the statement might
procure him admittance to the Cham
Der.
Then" said the usher, "give me
your card and I'll send it to the Presl-
dent of the Chamber"
When Gambetta received the card
he read Serge White, st. Petersburg"
but that conveyed nothing to him.
Thinking, however, that he might have
met him at some time, and since for
gotten his name, Gambetta gave Or
ders for the young Russian to be ad-
mitted to the gallery Of the foreign
press. At the close Of the sitting ne
sent for NJ. Witte, and in the Minis
ter's private apartments the great

potentiary tailed Of Russia and It's
