The grape bears its fruits on shoots
of the season. which III turn usually
arise from canes OF the previous year 5
growth Old wood on the grape is
therefore of little value. hence the de-
velopment OF so many systems Of
training which maintain only single
permanent trunk, from the top OF
which the bearing canes are renewed
each year. The so-caIied renewal
high renewal" "kniffen," "Munson"
ana various overhead systems OF train
ing all possess this feature in COM
mon. In fact. it is the only economical
way in which to handle native sorts.
For the fruit garden, however, where
the vines are desired for cover arbors,
pruning must be modified so as to Sc
cure a screen for the new growth as
early in the season as practicable FOR
this purpose a modification Of the
"horizontal-arm" system of training
will be found most advantage By
planting the vines closely and carrying
up single trunks to fixed height. and
from the top of the stalk carrying out
horizontal arms along which spurs
are maintained a short growth from
uniform and sufficiently dense canopy
of leaves for the arbor.
Raspberries and blackberries both
bear their fruits on short shoots which
arise from canes of the previous sea-
sons growth. While these shoots are
usually auxiliary shoots, the fruits are
always terminal. In the case of the
grape, which bears its fruit upon an
nual shoots arising upon canes of the
previous year, the fruit is produced al
a node, and takes the place of a leaf;
several fruit clusters may therefore
arise from a single shoot of the grape.
In the case of the currant and
gooseberry the fruits are produced on
both old and new wood; the fruits ap-
pear as auxiliary Srowths from the
shoot itself. and wood three years or
more of age is Improbable and should
be cut away.-Mrs. Kate V. Saint

BALLADE OF THE TNIPRovIDENT.

Rhymsters MARBLE Of last years flowers
Songs they sing of the seasons dead;
Lyrics litter our leisure hours
Just to tell US the rose is red
Sonnets sigh for the summer fled;
Rondels reek with the deWdrop's tear;
Never poet has sung or said
Where IS the coin of yesteryear?
Dewdrops vanish-and always will;
Blossoms fade in an afternoon;
There's small sense in the ink they spill
Roses frequently bloom in June.
Who cares aught for a creepy Groom
Chanted over a summers bier2
Poet, tell. to a weirdsome tune.
Where is the coin of yesteryear7
Where is the clinking gold we earned =
Bright and yellow as e'er was minedi
Where's the wealth that our pockets
burned2
Left it never a groat behind?
What was bought with the checks we
signed2
It's a puzzle our minds can't clear;
This the question we always find
Where is the coin Of yesteryear?

Colonbia's Industrial Opportunities.

li1IuStfldA opportunities
Colombia's present attitude toward
ARericans is dignifed and common
datory. Though scarcely meriting IA
vorable treatment, they are preferred
to other foreigners in the republic,
and they obtain nearly all the con-
cessiorSs granted to aliens. They are
as welcome in Colombia as they were
before the secession Of Panama, and
it is chiefly they who have charge Of
constructive work throughout the
country. Two railroads of Importance
are being constructed by Americans.
One of these, from Buenaventura, on
the Pacific, to Bogota, by way OF Cali,
will no doubt result in a thorough de-
velopment and reduce travel between
the capital and the ocean from
twelve days to forty-eight hours;
the other, from the Gulf of Darien to
Medellin, the second city in the re-
public, will place a rich region in
touch with commerce. The country
to be traversed by the roads is ele-
waited, and suitable fo- an industrial
population insuring colonization,
which must start from the head
waters of rivers. Employment is
thereby given to twenty thousand
men.
AS a result of all this constructive
work, gold fields Will be developed.
Once made accessible. the Choco re-
gion will be filled with prospectors.
With the enactment Of laws, similar
to those prevailing in the western
American states, q great increase in
the mining population will soon be
brought about and even a mining
boom, ION the American plan" must
occur. Important discoveries Of gold
will certainly be made. The purpose
of President Reyes is to develop the
country, and he realizes that mines are
the best agents for the introduction Of
immigration on large scale The
mining laws of Colombia, already the
most liberal in South America, will
be still further improved. Very prob
ably the coinage tax will be abolished.
The export tax on bar gold has been
abolished, and before long mining will
be made an untaxed industry. From

TO USE SEVERE MEASURES,
st. Petersburg Will Curb Attempt at
Outbreak.

St. Petersburg.-In view of ru-
,mors of an impending anti-Jewish
outbreak at Bialystok on Saturday
next, when another religious process
sion is scheduled to take place, Gov.
Gen. Bogalevski has issued an order
announcing that any attempt at Or
ganizing an outbreak will be string
ently put down, and that measures
have been taken to prevent such an
occurrence by the use of armed force.
The newspapers of st. Petersburg
published an alleged letter from
Count Witte criticising the policy of
Premier Stolypin, and saying that
while the latter favors the party of
the right, Count Witte was always
with the left. The letter states that
Count White wishes NJ. Stolypin sue
cess, but that he is convinced the pre-
mier's policy will fail.

To the eye of the artist the gar.

The Motor-Eye.

To the Academy-neck, the bridge
brain. and the cycle-arm, must now be
added the motor-eye, and the wonder
Is that it has remained unnamed and
undiscovered till "Marmaduke' has,
this week, introduced it in the
Graphic" where it Is written that
the medical profession has to deal
with. 1t appears that those who are
continually rushing through the coun-
try in a motor-car cause the eye to
take a too rapid impression Of the
things it encounters, and that this
affects the mechanism of the eye. Ma
ture did not prepare us for the con-
d1tions of modern times, and while 1t
is adapting itself to them many un-
foreseen circumstances must occur"
But nature has at all events been good
to US In this respect, that whenever
there Is need for the coinage of new
term the talent is always at hand to
supply 1t. And when it is the name Of
q new malady, then this talent rises
to positive genius, with the result that
the nations vocabulary increases by
leaps and bounds.

POISONED BY CANNED BEEF.

Des Moines Boarders Victims OF
Ptomaine Poisoning.
Des Moines.-Four boarders and
William H. Months, proprietor OF a
boarding house at 754 West Tenth
street, were thoroughly poisoned from
eating canned beef. The ptomaine
poison contained in the cans was not
perceptible to the taste and none
suspected the truth until two hours
after supper.
The others suffering from the poison
are Fred Campbell, Clyde Robinson,
William Reeves and James BOYD,
young men and residents of the board
ing house.
Mr.. Months was the first taken Ill
and his case was the most serious.
Within half an hour after Mr.. Months
was taken sick the others were all
complaining of severe pains in their
stomaches and soon after were COM
PEELED to go to bed.
The physician arrived to find all or
them in paroxysm of vomiting, several
of the cases being so severe as to pc
regarded as critical, With the aid OF
emetics and the stomach pump all
were relieved in a few minutes but
were desperately sick all night. The
four young men had recovered IN a
marked degree by morning. .
A dozen other boarders at supper at
the same time escaped being poisoned
by the beef by refusing to eat 1t. 1t
was remarked by some that they were
