ROADSIDE FRUIT TREES IN HANOVER
Germany Surely Leads ia Sensible Method
Of Beautifyinf Highways.
Duluth News.Tribune.

Surely it was dreamer-a dreamer
who saw far into the future-who con-
ceived the beautiful idea that has re-
suited in the German Province of
Hanover owning over 1867 miles of
highway, along which stand, like
beneficent sentinels 176,784 fruit
trees which bear pears, cherries, ap-
Piles, plums-all the harder fruits
that can be produced from the soil of
the province.
Some one has figured out that these
trees, if set out eighty to an acre,
would form an orchard of 200 square
miles. The province derives an an
nual income equivalent to 1000
from the sale of fruit from this con-
tinuous orchard.
The province is fully alive to the
value and virtue of its roadside trees.
It's governm ent maintains nursery
of more than 400 acres to supply
young trees to be transplanted to
the side of the road and promote a
general interest in tree culture.
Think of the travellers who journey
in one way or another over these
Hanoverian roads, fragrant in the
spring of apple and peach blossoms,
pungent with the piercing sweet"
perfume of plum and cherry blossoms,
redolent with the scent of Towering
pear trees; promising in the summer
of toothsome fruit to come and rich
in fruition in the autumn. The trees
make miles of delight. They make
miles of grateful shade, keep the
road free from dust and are of much
practical purpose as well as of beauty.
But it was no merely practical
mind that thought out the scheme of
marking the province roads with
fruit trees. 1t was a philanthropic
mind-the mind of dreamer and
doer-rare combination for which
the race has always reason to rejoice.
The practice has been maintained,
after experiment, because-it pays.
1t surely pays, financially, artistical-
ly and morally, and any province or
any state might do well to emulate
the example Of Hanover, to the de-
light of tourists-to it's own fame
and the comfort and inspiration of its
citizens.
This is tree culture brought up to
a science, none the less perfect for
being simple.

NEWS OF THE STATE.
Flotsam. Cat herd From the Shores of Ii

Flotsam. Cat herd From the Shores of Time
Yakima Democrat: 1t is, perhaps,
a good thing that the Legislature
does not meet Oftener than once in
two years. Indeed, it might be bet
ter if it could not meet but once in
four years. Every Legislature in
cludeS lot of men who insist upon
mOnkeying with matters that they
don't understand and would be better
left untouched.
The hoodoo on Lake Chelan steam
ers still continues. Last week the
Lady OF the Lake, the largest boat
on the lake, sank at her moorings in
Lakeside. 1t is not known whether
the accident was caused by the ice
causing the planks to spread or by
muskrats gnawing through the hull.
AS the boat lies in shallow water, it
can probably be easily raised and the
damage repaired.
HOrse-buyers were at Cotton from
Seattle last week securing large
horses for that market, rounding up
all the good horses that could be
bought, paying as high as 5000 to
$3.50 apiece. There have been more
good horses shipped from that place
to Seattle in the last six years than
any other town in Eastern Washing
ton. James Conway shipped from
that town 40 cars, or about 800 head.
Other parties shipped about 25 cars,
or about 500 head. The total is about
1900 head.
No special convention hall is to be
erected for the entertainment of
the Christian Endeavor convention
which is to meet in Seattle this sum-
mer, That point has been decided by
the committee having in charge ar
rangements after thorough canvass
of the situation. Instead, the enor-
nous tents in the possession of the
United Societies at Boston are to be
used. These tents will accommodate
30, 900 people, the largest holding
$4,000, and the other two 10000
each. F. Edgar Barch, chairman of
the committee, said: I'VE expect
about 10000 visitors. 1t is expected
that the main tent will be pitched on
the old university grounds, and the
other tents, if they are needed, will
probably be placed in Lincoln park"
Equipped with shovels of all de-
scriptions, 30 girls of the Ellensburg
normal school got together one night
last week and removed the snow from
the sidewalks between the dormitory
and school buildings, a distance Of
six blocks. On the ground-floor of
the dormitory is hardware store
and the girls had no difficulty in OBJ
tanning all the shovels needed. May
or Morgan, who is instructor at the
normal school, issued a request that
citizens remove the snow from the
sidewalks, and it was in response to
this request that all the girls per-
formed the unusual task. There was
much merriment while the work was
under way, and while an expert SHOW
eler would have done better work, a
good path was made between the two

Preserving Flour by compression.

In England much interest has been
shown of late by the army and navy
authorities in a new method of pre-
serving flour by means of compress
sion. With hydraulic pressure ap-
paratus the -four is squeezed into the
form of bricks, and experiments are
reported to have shown that the pres
sure destroys all forms of larval life,
thus preserving the -four from the
ravages of insects, while it is equally
secure from mold. Three hundred
pounds of compressed -four are said
to occupy the same space as 100
pounds of -four in the ordinary state.

She Berried" Him Out Of Sifht.

When Bishop Berry, of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, was a young
preacher, he once gave a lecture in a
rural community. Wishing to be
witty he announced to his audience
that he was a berry, and called upon
them to state what kind of berry.
Nearly every berry known in the
vicinity was guessed, and the speak
er refused to share the qualities of
any of those named. At last an old
lady, who was not sympathetic with
the seeming levity of the lecturer,
arose, and exclaimed in a squeaky
voice: Il know what kindof q berry
you are. You are a gooseberry, and
a very green one at that. Go on
with the lecture!"

EDITED FOR IDIOTS.
Clipped from the Hobo Banner
LUE F. VERNON, EDITOR.

LUE +. VERNON, EDITOR.
The shortcomings of the daily Ban
ner has been tormenting a citizen of
Hobo for some time. Yesterday the
editor of the Banner received letter
from this gentleman, suggesting to
us that we might take our occupation
a little more seriously, and here and
there indulge the public with litera-
ture of graver class.
: In reply to this letter. we will say
that the average daily newspaper is
edited for average men. The aver
age man is an idiot. Therefore, the
paper must be idiotic. The people
would not appreciate good thing if
it was given them. They do not
know ps from qs in literature, Or
care whether a t is crossed or not.
They would rather read evil than
virtue. They would rather read the
writings of fool than of a philoso-
pher. They prefer sensation and
depravity to the passive epics of
our casual and exemplary exper-
ience. They prefer the coarse to the
fine. They would rather their ed
itors used bad English than good.
They would rather have you lie than
tell the truth. They expect to be
Aattered. They rejoice when their
confidence is abused. They would
rather be swindled than get what
they pay for. There are fools enough
in the world for that service. Look
at the reform fools everywhere who
spend their last cent for their faith.
We do not presume or pretend to ed
ucate the people. They do not 60 to
school to us. We keep up with their
humors, tickle their passions, con-
cede any sort of favor to their palate
and conform to their average habits.
If we did not produce for them the
goods they demand, they would de-
sert. How-as such are the condi-
tions on both sides-how can you
seem surprised and upon what ground
can you complain? The people are
not to US the dear people. Nor are
we to them anything significant or
exalted. Our relations are all on the
ground, without any admixture of
mysteries, refinement or sophistries.
Not one ingredient that should not
be there is permitted in the solution.
We are not doing the people up at so
much per head. Nor are they doing
us up by getting from us what they
do not deserve. Their pennies and
nickels in the lump make us solid
with the advertiser. The advertiser
is the man we play for. For him we
would slave or die. For him we
would 60 to the stake. For him we
would lie, steal or beg. For the ad-
vertiser is our water of life. But to
get him we must pay fortunes to the
pennies and nickels. And to get the
pennies and nickely we must keep
scrupulously free of all heterodoxy.
We must steer our craft along that
rather delicate line which offends
neither Sunday school nor brothel,
neither the high nor the low; neither
the quick nor the halt, of the social
order. Tact gives us the pennies
and the nickels. To be pennywise
here is to be pound solid. The pen
nies give us the advertiser. The ad-
vertiser brings bloom to our desert.
Now you have facts. Who can dis
pute facts?

CHEERFUL WORDS TO WOMEN.
Bishop Potter. of New York. Is Fair. Can
did and Honest.

did and Honest.
The women of America have an
earnest champion in Bishop Potter
of New York, and yet one who does
not hesitate to point out certain lines
of conduct that need regulating. He
has no sympathy with those who
criticise and object to the place taken
by women in the industrial world.
" If women are at work anywhere to-
day." he says, !" in the worlds great
alignment of forces, it is because,
whatever they may be doing, it has
been found they can do better than
men,"
Replying to the assertion often
heard that women are taking the
places of men because they work
more cheaply, Bishop Potter is en-
phatic in his statement that the vast
army of women to be found in offices
and shops and factories all over the
land is there not because it is cheap,
but because it is capable and pains
taking and trustworthy. He looks
upon the change which has thus been
brought to pass in women s relation
to life as little less than revolution
ary.
But he has something to say as to
the social pace of modern life. He
believes that in travel, in reading, in
friendships there is now too much
impulsiveness and superficiality. He
refers to the old days when the his
tory of women in travel was one of
delay, but when they brought to
travel painstaking observation and
laborious thoroughness. Now, he
declares, haste is a national disease
and in nothing more apparent than
in the way women travel, the great
purpose seeming to be to get over as
much ground as possible in the short
est space of time.
AS with travel, so with reading.
There is a hectic pace that leaves
things blurred in the mind, gradually
resulting in a Joss of pleasure in lit
erature. Artificiality is gaining too
much ground in friendships as in
other things. The spirit of haste
in social intercourse and in mental
movement gives Bishop Potter cause
for serious comment He sees mag
nificent advance in regard to women s
service in various departments. He
notes with admiration the part wo-
man is taking in public education, in
sanitary improvement and different
social and moral reforms, but he de-
plores the fact that some women, be-
cause they are clever and sympathet-
ic, are at the beck and call of every
enterprise of the hour.
He would have women be steadfast
in endeavor in whatever they under
take, but urges them to put a check
on impulsiveness of action and hasti-
ness of speech. The mightiest forces
in the realm in which men and wo-
men are called to do their work are
the quietest and serenest.

l do not believe in holding ami
mostly against any one. l do not,
and cannot think that it is right.
We have but a short space of time,
at best, to dwell on this old globe,
and we ought to endeavor, as far as
in us lies, to love, respect and treat
each other kindly. And at last,
when we see how exceedingly wrong
headed our course of life has been,
we ought to think more upon our
own faults, and, forgetting those of
others, hold out the friendly hand to
them. l freely admit that great
many people do not arrive at this
state of feeling until it is too late to
put it in practice, but it is for the
very good reason-or rather bad
one-that they do not allow them
selves to think upon the subject and
continue to be ruled by their own
narrow-minded and selfish prejudices.
Mankind, it seems to me, are very
much what circumstances and sur
roundings have made them, and if
this was only more generally under
stood and truthfullv realized, there
would be much more of that charity
which thinketh NO evil, and more
kindliness of feeling extended from
one to another, and, in consequence,
far less of misery in the world.

Rev. NJ. A. Matthews, of Seattle,
in sermon entitled Society's Merry
Gus Diseases" said recently:
do you know that the authorities of
this city and perhaps of all cities, have
more trouble with the children of par.
ents who disregard the sacredness of
the marriage VOWS than they do with
the hardened criminals who infest the
country and tramp from city to city.
The children from homes supposed to be
above suspicion keep the police busy
and increase the taxroll of the country
in the suppression of juvenile criminals.
Why? Because OF conjugal prostitution,
a disregard Of the marital vows, parental
neglect and domestic infidelity. You
remember the fable of the bull and the
man. The man stood admiring the
animal and remarked: What a mag.
nificent specimen! He seems to be
physically perfect. l never saw a more
perfect animal The bull replied with
bitter sarcasm: Yes, you admire my
physical perfection, but scorn your de-
generacy, you contemplate shrimp.
Had your parents been selected with
the same care with which mine were
selected, you, too, would be worthy OF
respect, and you would command the
admiration of men,"

A New Feminine Fad.

The new decorations for lingerie
waists must be feminine decidedly
from the name given them "Chi-
CHS" pronounced she-she) many of
which are made of either lace or rib
bon, or q combination of both, and
are worn over the cobweb creations
called blouses. These chi-chis have
evolved from the plain suspender
dress.
These fancy waist pieces offer so
many possibilities it would be well
worth while to have two or three of
them, one made of plain silk hand
embroidered, another of fancy rib
bon, and still another of strips fash
ioned from ribbon and net, about
one and one-half inches wide each,
and with pretty shoulder drapery
of net lace. These would offer a
variety.
If they are to be worn over plain
white waists, one will have wide
range of colors from which to choose.
Should the waist be of silk, let the
ribbon or silk match in color the
darkest shade of color in the figure.
This will give decided contrast,
which should always be the effect
produced in this particular style of
waist. If the chi-chis is to be en-
broidered, it would be pretty to
have the embroidery match the
lightest shade in the waist. The
girdle, of course, must be of the
same silk as the chi-chis.
