quantities and "enarched' upon hardy
seeding stock. There is one tree in
the department greenhouse that has
furnished almost 100 cuttings, and the
average ported plant will give from
six to eleven "f1ushes' in a season,
each flush being a potential cutting for
enarching on a hardy root.
CHEAP IN PORTO RICO.
The mango is a little slower than
the orange in coming to bearing age
About six years is the minimum. But
the trees at that age are prolific, and
probably will prove very profitable.
One of the southern growers has in
formed the department that from
eleven trees he shipped in one sea-
son $219 worth of fruit in the fourth
year, and another that at six years
one of mis- trees netted him see. The
fruit of a verv inferior sort has been
shipped in small quantities to Chicago
and sold for sixty cents a dozen, but
mangos in Washington bring from 81
a dozen up. A mango plantation Will
take about forty trees to the acre, but
the industry is so new that there are
no reliable figures to show what a plan
tation ought to be worth per acre in
this country.
The native fruit in Porto Rico is
exceedingly cheap in some seasons
fetching from five to twenty cents
a hundred. But even at that figure,
with the inferior native fruit, the de-
partment has collected statistics to
show that for preserving and canning
the cheap native fruit has its profita-
bic uses In fact, the department has
collected a number of receipts for man
go narmalade, mango jelly and mango
chutney that sound exceedingly wei
and indicate that the preserves made
at a very small initial cost in Porto
Rico ought to find a good market in
this country.
Take it altogether, the mango is
tropical fruit if one only Sc
ects the right varieties for cultivation,
and the Agricultural Department by
ong course of experiments has sue

in the world for use in the United
States.-Ex.

even civilized people eat it. There is
a spicy, aromatic flavor to it that is
found in no other fruit and which viii

NATIVE INDIAN FRUIT.
But this is true only of the COM
mon or garden mango. The Depart
ment of Agriculture has collected man
gos from all over the world, and Mr..
Oliver. who is in charge of the tropical
fruit work and is himself a mango en-
thusiast, says that there are many
varieties, two especially that can be
eaten in polite society. They are the
IMulgoba and the AlphOnos, and they
are the chief sorts that the department
is trying to implant in the southern
regions Of this country.
The best of the mangos come from
India, where they have been cultivated
for hundreds of years, and the Agri-
cultural Department has got specimens
of all the best varieties. The common
West Indian mango is more or less
like a short length of hemp rope, soak
ed in turpentine and brown sugar But
the department has mangos that have
scarcely any of this woody fiber in
them that Will skin like a plum and
that have all and more than the pecu-
liar seductive flavor of the West Indian
fruit. Altogether, there are sixty-two
varieties in the collection, and these
have come from all quarters Of the
tropical world, from India, Africa,
Ceylon and the Malay archipelago.
When they have been brought to the
department they are grated onto the
stock of hardy seedlings, and from
these cuttings can be taken in great

A year and half ago. accord
ing to the Indianapolis News, the
municipality of Orbe, in the Canton of
Vaud, Switzerland, placed artificial
nests in the trees throughout the dis
trict in order to protect and preserve
insect eating birds in the locality. The
branches of the trees were studded
with sharp nails to prevent access to
the nests by the birds enemies in gen.
eral-cats in particular. Blackbirds
and thrushes were the first to show
their appreciation of the facilities pro-
vided, and their example was soon fol-
lowed by other members of the feath-
cred tribe. The artificial nests are
closely initiated from the originals, and
a Swiss naturalist conducts the new
industry, which is in the hands of wo-
men.

hurdles. half-mile relay, one mile re-
lay.
A healthy rivalry was shown by the
respective classes and the Seniors,
Sophomores and Freshmen finished
the day fairly evenly punched as re-
CARDS the score which was regulated
on the basis of points for a win, 3
points for second place and 1 point for
third place
The standing of the classes at the
end of the afternoon was as follows:
Seniors, "a 1-3 points.
Sophomores, 81 points.
Freshmen, Is points.
Props, 6 So points.
Juniors, 5-6 points.
Some good times were made, those
for the so and 1OO-yards dashes be-
ing more than creditabDe when it is
taken into consideration that the
sprinting was done on grass and not
on a cinder-track
A distance runner who should make
his mark was unearthed in r. Smith
ease in fair time for the track which
consisted of the road round the camp
us.
Hang Chack captured the mile walk
in 900 which is nearly minute better
than the time he made in the event
on the Chinese field day. He walks in
good style and a judicious course of
training would undoubtedly sharpen
up his speed considerably.

hand for a very useful track team
which should make a bold bid for

gallant red-cross knight is Rob,

He boldly tries to do the right, -
Let others laugh who may;
And red-cross knights braved storm and spear
When conscience led the way
To ladies and to little girls
He means to be pote
And gentleness to women folk 80
Vowed every red-cross knight.
At mealtimes, too, his hands clean,

And red-cross knig gifts their armor kept
In glittering array
Just to be manly, plucky, kind,
Is noisy Rob's design;
And this among the red-cross knights
Was chivalry s true sign.

SECULAR SHOTS AT THE PULPIT.

Chicago Record Herald: New York
minister says that the colored men own
the United States. II must be admitted,
then, that they make very reasonable and
liberal landlords, considering the degree of
freedom enjoyed by the whites.
Baltimore American: The chaplain of the
Pennsylvania legislature kraycd the other
day that the day would come when none
but the statues of Washington and La
coin would grace the rotunda OF the cap
itol. He seemed to forget what a strain
such constant standard as this implies
would put upon the various members.
New York Post: Archbishop Keane is
evidently another OF those plain-spealking
old fogies who can't distinguish between
tweedledum and tweedledee. The unions
that force employers to pay incompetent
laborers more than they earn, he says as
well as the trusts that deprive men of
natural rights" are alike schools for thiev-
cry.
Boston Transcripts The Salvation Army
In England offers to take charge of all
criminals whom the government will give
over to 1t for regeneration. And 1t be-
lieves there is hope even for the worst of
them-whlch Is incidentally why the Army
has grown from what most of us considered
an absurdty to something that most of
us take off our hats to.
New York Sun: From an esteemed and
respectable contemporary IN the city of
Elizabeth we derive the subjoined news OF
more than local interest: THE mems meet
ing at the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton will have two speakers tomorrow aft
erroon. and the subject will he: Hell; Its
Certainty. What Sort of a Place 1t is, and
How to Escape It. The musical part of
the program will be very attractive and
will consist of a barytone solo by Walter
T. Griffin who will sing, Tell Mother I'll
Be There" We earnestly hope that the
information afforded by the first part of
the program led the worthy barytone to

SERMONS BOILED Down.


Sin is setting appetite before authority.
Deceit is the poorest kind of diplomacy.
Haste to be rich makes waste of the real
riches.
Every duty neglected is the loss of some
thing divine.
Gold on the heart does not make the
golden heart.
At times OF revival 1t is easy to mistake
racket for results.
They are making the least out of life who
are ever thinking Of what they can make.
The most mistaken endeavor and fervor
is better than sleek apathy and Indifference.
He who is too busy to listen to the voice
Of child Is likely to miss the voice of his
Lord.
The feet Of men are not kept in the path
of right by the light Of brilliant thought
alone.
The hereto hunter thinks that the cutting
of many thistles will create at least few
roses.
Not he who has no weaknesses is the
strong man, but he who makes them serve
his strength.
It's not by being against many thin~s
that you will save the world but by being
for few things with all your mlght.-Chl-
cago Tribune.
