AN ORANGE GROVE.
Modern Methods In Cultivating tho
Gold of the Orchard.

Modern Methods In Cultivating tho
Gold of the Orchard.
You are certainly entitled to look
through that wire fence and see all that
constitutes an orange orchard. There
are 200 round headed trees, about
twelve feet in diameter. The fruit
looks immensely as if it had been arti-
ficially put in place. Really those
would pass for 200 Christmas trees.
Does nature do this sort Of work any
where else? You forget the cherry trees
In your northern orchard. You have be-
come so familiar with the scarlet glOb-
ules that hang all over those trees,
with orioles and robins shouting ap-
proval, and tanagers with indigo birds
sitting in the apple tree overhead, that
you cannot fully see and appreciate the
charm. But you certainly have not for
gotten the glory of Mcintosh red ap-
pie tree in October or indeed a whole
orchard of ripe Northern Spies, Spleen
burgs and Kings. Yet the orange has
glory all its own. 1t Is the gold of the
orchard. You thought the trees grew In
groves. "but here they are in long. reg
ular rows" That was a word borrow
ed from the wild oranges that in Span
ish days came up where they might
and were seldom transplanted. They
grew as those wild persimmOns grow
at the edge of the orchard or as pines
and naples grow. But your modern
orange trees are grown in long rows to
be cultivated with plows and horses.
The real orange tree should stand
about twenty-five or thirty feet high
with trunk Of five or six inches. It's
foliage is dense and a rich green. It is
grand tree to sit beneath at midday
and drink the juices of the fruit instead
of water-it is distilled perfectly. But
these trees are round and low headed
and one must stOop to get beneath
them. They are made Of the CRATER
shoots that came up around the old
trees after the freeze. They are more
convenient to spray. to protect from
the blizzard. while the fruit is more
easily gathered. You can walk all
about that orchard and reach half the
fruit without ladder It is a good H.
lustration Of how good sometimes
comes out Of evil
different shapasv To be sure.
There are quite as many varieties of
oranges In this orchard as there are of
apples or plums in most Of your north
ern orchards - fifteen or twenty. at
least. The grower knows them all by
name and can tell them all BY the
shape and the quality. He does not go
at random and pick any fine big orange
for his own eating, but ne takes his
selection-the King, OF the Homosasa,
or the Jaffa, or the Ruby. or Parson
Brown, or Satsuma, or possibly the
tangerine He fills his pocket with Sc
lected varieties and then goes to that
pine grove over there and peels them
as he lunches. It is very much as we
do with our pippins. and Swaars, and
Princess Louise. and Jillifowers.-

Mrs. Pepys' Temper.

Being at supper my wife did say
something that caused me to oppose
her in. She used the word devil which
vexed me, and, among other things,
said l would not have her to use that
word, upon which she took me up most
scornfully, which, before Ashwell and
the rest Of the world, know not now
adays how to check, as would here
tofore, for less than that would have
made me strike her. So that I fear
without great discretion shall go near
to lose, too, my command over her, and
nothing do it more than giving her this
occasion Of dancing and other pleas
ures, whereby her mind is taken up
from her business and finds other
sweets besides pleasing Of me, and so
makes her that she begins not at all
to take pleasure in me or study to
please me as heretofore" - Diary Of
Samuel Pepys.

The work of the Chicago lawyers
in the Hoch case waa particularly
coarse. After the condemned man
was in the hands of the executioner,
his lawyers rushed before the United
States district court and asked for a
writ of habeas corpus on the most
frivolous grounds. Judge Lands very
properly denied it, and it is a fOrtu-
nate thing he did so; for, if it had
been granted, and the legally fixed
hour of execution had passed without
hanging, Hoch would have been
dead man in the eyes of the law and
it would not only have been impOs-
sible to hang him, but he would have
gone free Seems as if these lawyers
ought to be arrested for something.

The government has put up three
unassailable defenses against the
charge that Garfield threw the pack
ers down. First, Garfield did not get
any information from thepackers;
second, if ne got any he kept it to
himself; third, even if the information
was confidential it was bum stuff, and
the goverpment's case is not based
upon it at all. We do not see how
the packers can escape.

TROUBLE IN RHODE ISLAND.

While Senator Aldrich is explaining
perhaps he will throw some light on
the political conditions in Rhode ISL
and. Rumors say that all is not well
there, that there are reform forces"
at work and that the supremacy of the
Standard Oil system is actually being
contested.
There are two senatorial seats from
Rhode Island, one for each of the capt.
ats apparently, but up to within a
year there has been but one senator,
and that was Aldrich. The occupant
of the other seat is one George P.
Wetmore, who, according to the con-
gressional directory. is serving in the
United States senate and whose term
of service viii expire March 8, 1907.
If Mr.. Aldrich is correct in his prog.
nostications, Mr.. Wetmore will expire
politically about the same time In
fact Mr.. Aldrich has selected q sue.
cessor to Mr.. Wetmore. who in some
way hos not pleased him.
Inc stirring thing about Rhode
island is not the fact that MIR. Aldrica
has changed his mind about the
holder of the other seat: a great man
may change his mind at any time, in
fact Gladstone intimated that it was
a sign of greatness to be able to do

In a dramatic novel which "shows
up the Chicago stockyards, Upton
Sinclair, the talented author, tells how
rats are ground up for sausage to-
gether with the damaged beef. The
publishers claim that they would not

vestigated the charges and found
them true. The country will now
begin to read up to see if the new

No EVIDENCE OF A SPLIT.

1t was reported a short time ago
that there was a division of sentiment
among the friends of rate regulation
as to the Hepburn-Dolliver bill. Among
other things it was represented that
Mr.. E. P. Bacon, chairman Of the ex-
ecutive- committee of the interstate
commerce law convention, was knock
ing the Hepburn bill because it did not
go far enough. This rumor may have
been circulated for the purpose of de-
Stroying interest in that measure on
the part of at least a portion of the
friends of rate regulation. 1t APP
pears to have been entirely unfOunded,
however, because Mr.. Bacon has just
sent out circular containing a synop-
sis of the Hepburn bill, commencing il
as something which every friend of
rate regulation should stand for and
as a great advance over present con-
ditions. In the same connection he
urges advocates of rate regulation
everywhere to write to their repre-
sentatives in the house and senate
urging them to stand for this bill If
there is any lack of zeal in support OF
this measure among any portion of the
friends of rate regulation, it is not to
be found with the chairman of the eX-
ecutive committee Or those who spm-
pathize with his views.
