No Fences In Belgium.

In beautiful Belgium there are no
fences. Neither are there hedges, as
in England. The boundaries of the
fields are raised up by fairly high
earth banks, and the roads are cut
out of them, as 1t were, so that when
you are walking in the country you
are down in sort of valley, with low
green banks on either side Of you.
The things that are chiefly cultivat
ed In Belgium are the beet root. for
making the cheaper kind OF sugar,
you know, and you can see field upon
field of their reddy-green leaves
stretching on "a -er side of you as
you walk along.
Flax Is also much grown over there,
and in summer time the fields are
such pretty sight when the pale blue
fax blossoms are out in full bloom.
Belgian asparagus is also renowned
all over Europe. II has white instead
Of purple-green tips, like our home
grown asparagus.

SHOULD HAVE SLEEP OUT,
Writer OF. ects to Custom Of Accusing
Children Early.

DR.. Woods Hutchinson, writing OF
Sleep in the American Magazine, criti-
cizes boarding schools sharply for get.
ting young people up too early in the
morning. He says: "A baby or young
child should have absolutely every
minute of sleep that 1t can be induced
to take, and sleeplessness is even
more emphatically sign Of disease In
children than in adults. The necessity
and capacity for large amounts of re-
freshing sleep persists up to adult life
ana the amount required seldom falls
below ten hours before the eighteenth
or twentieth year To make children
or rapidly growing young adults get
up before they have had their sleep
out, and feel thoroughly rested, is not
merely irrational but cruel, and when
It Is done as routine practice at
boarding schools, or other institutions,
by those who pretend to be fitted to
have the care of children Il Is little
short Of criminal"

MAJESTY OF THE FAMILY.
coaehman Could Not Understand That

Every one who has lived south

itself in a profound conviction that
their family is the "fust family" Con.
seQuently, every southern town and
city Is still full Of "fust families"
This particular "fust family" was
making Its annual pilgrimage to the
White Sulphur Springs, the great

which hurled the coach one way,
horses another, and family and trunks
In all directions. Galloping up he
called to his coachman: Simon, you
old niger, didn't you see that train
coming?" "Yassuh." "You saw It

were all dressed In white, and the
solid rows Of them, together with the
flower decorations, made pretty
spectacle for the church members and
the visitors, who crowded the gallery.
A dozen bird cages, each containing a
canary bird, were suspended from DIFF
ferent parts of the high ceiling, and
the little feathered songsters Joined in
the singing with the children. The
idea of having songbirds In a church
service Is new, and every one present

BEES MAKE FRUIT GROW.
Honey the Least Of the Profits from
Busy Insects.

Honey producing is only one Of the
missions of the bee. Indeed, for actual
profit, the honey is but minor item.
Some years ago ! moved to q small
place up the Hudson river. l wanted
bee farm and selected for that pur-
pose spot among apple, cherry and
plum trees, some Of which had never
borne fruit, others none for years
past. My landlord told me I might cut
down certain trees, as they were
worthless, and no intended putting
out some fine nursery stock.
Being busy ] did not cut the trees
down. They blossomed freely and Of
course we paid no further heed to
them than to break blooms by the
armful when we wanted floral deco
rations.
The cherry trees were, much to the
owners establishment. loaded with
very large, perfect fruit. He could not
understand It; such a thing had not
happened for years
Early in the autumn while waiting
served number of fine apples upon
one of the smaller condemned trees.
When the landlords attention was
called to them he was completely mys-
titled and called In his neighbors to
see the wonder.
Later we gathered from this tree
nearly barrel of the finest fall pip
pins ever seen in that vicinity.
No argument would convince the
man that them pesky bees" had any.
thing to do with the yield Of fruit on
the place. He insisted that some sort
Of fertilizer must have been used.
Since that time have demonstrated
by scores of experiments that trees
which had for many seasons borne lit
tie good fruit, or possibly none at all,
have been brought up to high stand
ard Of productiveness by the presence
OF bees. They carried the pollen. fer.
tilized the blossoms and bountiful
harvest was the result.
Regardless of the honey crop, every
fruit grower should have few col
onies of bees. II when the bloom sea
son Is past there Is 30 little nectar In

RussIs's National Anthem.

Russia's present national anthem -

petition. The musical committee ap-
pointed to do the first rough work Of
selection. rejected all the anthems
sent in except two, the respective mer.

himself to determine. One was by
Glinka, the renowned composer Of
Life for the Car" the other was by
Lvoff. Glinka's anthem was thorough.
ly Russian In character, and in the
form Of march; Lvof's was more
solemn, but much less original. He
knew. however. that a highly military
style Of decentralization would ap-
peal to the imperial ear, and his
drums and trumpets decided Nicholas
in favor Of 1t.

On Mount Mckinley. as described by
a writer In Outing, 1t is the opposite.
There are rs miles OF rugged foothills

Judge brents Declares Gamb-
Iers Shall stand Trial

According to decision rendered by
Judge Brents this morning, the seven
men arrested on the charge of gambl-
ing will have to stand trial. The de-
murrer entered by Attorneys Gose and
Cain on technicality of the law was
overruled. Numerous arguments were
made by the attorneys on the grounds
that in the act there were three sep
arate offenses named and the men
could not be tried for the offense under
the complaints filed.
While the judge practically admitted
the attorneys arguments concerning
the statute were practically true, it
was the duty Of the court to carry out
the intention of legislators who framed
the act. The supreme court in the
majority of cases has followed that rule
and it is doubly important that the SUI
periOr court should do so more readily
The prosecuting attorney refuses to
consent to anything but the present
charge. It was intimated that the
gamblers would be charged with a mis-
demeanor instead of a felony Mr..
Rupp says he intends to carry out the
full intent of the law and every EFFORT
possible will be made to secure a con-
victiOn.
