Lee and Life Insurance.
Npw York World

An interesting little anecdote of Gen.
eral Robert F.. Lee has been making
the rounds of the newspapers. Whether
is is true or not we do not pretend to
say. but print it for what it is worth
Forty years ago Robert f. Lee was
offered the presidency of the Northern
Life Insurance company at salary
large enough for those days. He
wrote that he hadn't the ability nor
the experience to command such a
salary" said Lee. That ended the ne
gotiations.
Doubtless General Lees reply would
have been the same had three New
York life insurance companies offered
him an annual salary of $4,000 to act
as rebate referee"

WHITEWASH FRUIT TREES.
Reasons Why 1t Is Benefcial-Should
Be Renewed as often as
Necessary.

The use Of whitewash on fruit trees
IS practiced in many of the fruit grow
ing sections of the eastern states,
There the apple trees especially, are
sciaped and the whitewash applied as
far up as the branches. During recent
years experiments have been made to
determine if the spraying of the entire
tree with whitewash has any effect in
protecting the buds from winter kill
ing. It is found that the effect is in
that direction but is not enough pro-
nounced to justify the repetition Of
tho process during the winter, When
the entire tree is sprayed with white
wash. the winter rains wash much Of
it off the smaller twigs and branches,
and the spraying must be repeated sew
eral times during fall and winter to
keep on a thick coat of whitewash,
saws tile Farmers Review. Doubtless
this amount of work will not be paid
for by the trees, but it should pay to
give the apple trees good whitewash
ing in the fall, covering the trunks
and as far up as the branches as mar
can reach. 1t most certainly does
help keep off the fungus growths tina
are so common. Many of these pro
duce winter spores which lie on thu
bark and in the crevices of trees, read,
to sprout in the spring. The white
wash will destroy these, or at leas
make it impossible for them to find
roofing place on the bark. Whitewasl
improves the sanitary conditions Q
the trees without injuring the bark.

CITY HAS GOOD HUSBANDS
New York Shows Fewer Divorces to
Population Than Any Other
Big Burg.

More divorces are applied for ana
more are granted in the city Of New
York than in any other large city OF the
country, but thenumber Of divorced men
residing in New York is relatively much
smaller than in any other very large
American city.
There were, by the last enumeration,
fewer than l2OO divorced men here of
whom $50 were in Brooklyn, while in
Chicago the number was nearly 1000,
and in indianapolis, which has less
population than the borough of Queens,
600. There were only 50 in Queens.
San Francisco, which has almost ex-
actly one-tenth of the population OF
New York. had by the last census 800 di-
yorcod men, equivalent in the same ratio
to 10000 in New York, where actually
the number is only / 200.
st. Louis and Washington are two
other cities which have an unusually
large number of divorced men in pro-
portion to their whole population,
Portland, Ore.,a city of 100000, has half
as many as Philadelphia, q city OF
100000. Spokane has As 600 inhabit'
ants; Troy, n. Y, has $1,000 Spokane
has 200 divorced men among its inhab
itants; Troy has Is.
Newark has 10000 fewer inhabitants
than has Milwaukee, which has three
times as many divorced men.
Various explanations of these dis
PARTIES are given, the most natural on,
of which is that divorced men in New
York city remarry; in Chicago and SOM
other cities they don't-at least not t
the same extent New York's record a
the city with the smallest number O
divorced men in proportion to the Who'll
population is nowhere challenged.

Important Movement in Advertising.


The creation Of General Advertising
DEPARTMENT for the New York Central
Lines, and the placing in charge OF that
dpnartment the veteran railroad adver-
tiser. George H. Daniels, who has been
for nearly twenty years the General Pas
senpcr Agent Of the New York Central
Railroad, marks an era IN the history u
advertising in America.
The New York Central Lines are me
first great system to create an adYertiS

WAYS in their system, and the tar-reaehhS
consequences OF such a movement cannot

Some idea of the Importance OF this

understood that it will control the gen

Mr.. Daniels has for many years been a
firm believer in newspaper and magazine
advertising. and, therefore, the organ2a

of importance to every legitimate puDIlCa
ton in America daily, Wecl lily or monthly,
In an address before the New orb
State Press Association few years ago
Mr.. Daniels made the point that the ran
road is the advance agent OF commerce
and that railway advertising had been Of
immense value to American manuiac
tuners in calling the attention OF the
whole world to the excellent work don't
by our inventors and mechanics, as Illus

west; the average foreigner arguing tina
the men who are able to turn out sucl

road advertising has certainly been tn
means of bringing thousands Of men her

manufactures and has wonderfully II
creased our foreign commerce.
Every legitimate newspaper and maga
