Waste Of Artesian Water.

Millions of gallons of artesian

sufficient to supply a city of 10000 in.
habitants In only few places is
this water put to use. The farmers do
not seem to realize that hydraulic

TRAMPs WHO DO GOOD.
Apple Tree Johnny Has Successor In
Nut Planting Hobo.

The story is told of Pennsylvania
tramp who in his wandcrings up and
down on the earth carries his pockets
full OF nuts, which he plants as he
goes. For, three years he has followed
this practice, says the Virginia Pilot,
and during that time is said to have
planted thousands and thousands of
nuts, always seeking the out.of.the-way
spots-rocky hillsides and abandoned
lands at the edges OF creeks and
streams--so that the chances of the
trees being destroyed before they
grow up and mature will be minimiz-
ed. This old tramp is doing something
more than guaranteeing the future
youth Of Pennsylvania against the
loss of the Joy Of nutting. He Is set
ting an example in tree planting which
the farmers throughout the land may
well follow with profit to themselves
and to the country. This nut-planting
tramp recalls another member of the
wandering tribes. He was known
throughout the country as Apple Tree
Johnny from his habit of planting an.
pie seeds In fence corners and other
hooks. Many wayside fruit tree is
said to owe its existence to Apple Tree
Johnny.

ESKIMO Is NATURE FAkER,
Thinks That Bears Should Be Treated
Like Gentlemen.

The Eskimo can say that he had a
friendly feeling toward all living
things, notwithstanding that he fed
on flesh and that wild beasts some
times fed on him. says the Contem.
porary Review. Not that he ever
talked of wild beasts, for he had no
tame ones. He had not a vocabulary
of rude terms about animals He. was
inclined to credit every species with
many potential merits. The Eskimo
is afraid-very much afraid of bears.
Yet he is the first to admit that the
bear Is capable of acting like the fin
est gentlemen. A woman was in
fright at seeing a bear, and so gave
him partridge; that bear never for
got the tri1ing service, but brought
her newly killed seals ever after. An
other bear saved the life of three men
who wished TO reward him. He polite.
ly declined their offer, but If in winter
time they should see baldheaded
bear will they induce their compan-
ions to spare him? After so saying
he plunged into the sea. Next winter
a bear was sighted and they were 60
ing to hunt him, when these men, re.
Numbering what had happened,
begged the hunters to wait till they
had a look at him. Sure enough it
was their own bear!" They told the
others to prepare feast for him, and
when he had refreshed himself he lay
down to sleep and the children played
around him. Presently he awoke and
ate little more, after which he went
down to the sea, leaped in, and was
never seen again.

the state which prepare students for
the profession cannot furnish sufficient
