TO EXPERIMENT With
new CITRUS FRUIT
Agricultural Department Will Furnish
Specimens of Citrange Trees.

The board of trade has received from
NJ. A. Smith. delegate to congress, a
circular letter concerning a new citrus
fruit. the citrange, forwarded to him
by the bureau of plant industry of the
agricultural department., with the re-
quest that he furnish the names of five
hOrticulturists who would like to ex-
pertinent with the tree. There is to
be a distributors of few trees on
after December 1st, in each state and
territory. Mr.. Smith has forwarded
the request to the board as this is the
chief citrus belt in the t<<ritory and
growers who would like to have speci-
men trees should report to the board
of trade. Following is the circular re-
garding the citrange:
The citrange, which is a cross be-
tween the worthless trifoliate orange
of Japan and our ordinary sweet or
ange, is not an orange, but a hardy
substitute for the lemon. The fruits
are very juicy, containing a larger
amount of juice prOportionally than
the best lemons. They make a re-
|freshing "citrangeade" similar to lem
onade which people who have made a
even better than the latter The fruits
.also make excellent pies and MARINA
lade, and for these purposes are prob
ably equal to the orange and the lem
on. The citrange will undoubtedly
prove valuable for general culinary
purposes in the making and flavoring
Of cakes, making jellies and preserves,
and in many other ways i'm which the
lemon is now employed. When it is
considered that these citranges can be
grown throughout the Gulf and South
Atlantic States, a large part of Texas,
and Arizona, and parts Of New Mexico,
Utah, Nevada, oregon. and Washing
ton, where there is now a dearth of
acid fruits, their great value becomes
evident
There is at present, however, no
market for the citrange, and it will
probably prove of value mainly as a
home fruit for cultivation throughout
the regions mentioned, where the
sweet orange, the lemon, and the lime
cannot be grown. The trees are at
tractive in shape and semievergreen,
so that they will make desirable lawn
trees. Wherever a home can be sup
piled with them it will be possible on
the warm days between the 1st of Sep
TENDER and the 1st of December TO pick
few fruits and make a desirable and
refreshing beverage. 1t is believed
that they will prove a decided boon
to a very large section Of the country.
From the evidence thus far obtain

The return of Cuber. the big Kid

The Passing of the French

The population Of France. whose

Gus national monolingual group in Eu-

has increased only 20 per cent. during
the last hundred years, as against En-

ceeds the male in numbers, the figures
being. respectively, 10 J33. 800 and 49,

An Appeal to MilIionaires.

The shocking death of William II.
Marsh, of Brooklyn. which was predict
ed several days ago. took place yester-
day afternoon. Marsh had been bitten
by a pet dog afflicted with rabies. At
first he paid no attention to the matter.
After long delay the development of
nervous symptoms led him to apply for
treatment at the Pasteur Institute But
the authorities there declined to receive
him as a patent, saying that the time
had gone by when anything could be ad-
ministered to him would effect cure.
The man went home Immediately with
the truth Of the declaration that his
maady was beyond hope and that he
would die within seventy-two hours
and he did, his sufferings being mitigated
by frequent doses of morphine and
hyoscyamine The symptoms We're in
termittent commissions Of he larynx,
acute difficulty in swallowing. stiffening
Of the muscles and finally paralysis and
coma. Between the commissions the pa
tents mind was clear. and he talked rs
calmly of his disorder, as if the victim
were a third person. During the last
hours he was unconscious.
So marvellous have been the successes
of science in the discovery of anti
toxins for diseases that one would be
rash who should set a limit to the pos
sibilities of this quest. What Pastcur
has contributed toward the relief Of
victims of the rabies, and the power
lessness Of his treatment in the sad
case of Mr.. Marsh, might well stimulate
further research. Here is an object

COLONY OF GREAT BLUE HERoNs.
Have Returned to Same Tree Twenty-Five
YearS--Thirteen Nests at One Time.

A place of rare interest to bird lovers
in Michigan is a great blue heron's nest
ing place ten miles west of Battle Greek
on the north bank of the Kalamazoo
river.
1t is notable, says a writer In St.
Nicholas, because there are now only Il
few nesting places of this handsome and
majestic bird left il that state. 1t is
still more notable from the fact that the
few others are in inaccessible swamps.
While this one is on dry ground. only a
short distance from an interurban cleo
trlc line, aud can be reached without
difficulty.
Great blue herons are home lovers and
become so attached to the place of their
birth that they always return TO the
same nesting place and even the same
tree. They have been known to nest in
one place for fifty years. This colony
has nestled on the Kalamazoo river for
twenty-five years.
A sycamore tree is always selected as
the first home tree, because the color of
the bark harmonizes perfectly with the
color of the birds plumage, thus afford
ing protection for both birds and nests
IN IN TINS gigantic sycamore were originally
thirteen nests.
The tree is 10 feet in circumference
and 100 feet high up to the first
branches. From this tree the colony has
spread out to several elm trees
The nests are most interesting sight
and are so large that they can be seen
from distance of one mile. They are
huge. rude structures built of good sized
twIgs and sticks loosely placed together,
forming lattice work on which the
eggs are laid.
The birds use the same nest every sea-
son. adding more sticks to shape ii up
when they return the following season.
The eggs number from three to four are
of BLUSH green color and are a little
larger than hens eggs.
The herons during the nesting season
are of great benefit to the farmers. as
they destroy all the snakes and field
mice for miles around. When feeding
the young the noise and commotion made
by the fiedgelings can be heard at a
great distance.
The blue heron is majestic appear
ing and most beautiful bird. 1t is FREE
quently enormously called the sandhill
crane. 1t is a solitary bird except when
nesting and is wild and shy

asking another to purchase some grocer
les for her. She happened to need the
same articles for her own household,
and when she discovered that a few cents
could be saved by buying them in large
quantities she made known this fact
10 the other women of the house. Then
they all got together and took turns IN
buying and dividing. Flour was bought
by the barrel, hams were purchased by
the dozen instead Of by the slice tea
by the can and coffee By the box. and
canned goods in large quantities from
Wholesale houses. Ia fact. enough
proyender to last month was bought.
When the price Of everything was count
ed and compared with that Of the cor

small family could save. on an average.

Odd History of Sixty-Year-0Id Fund
in Massachusetts,,

When Moses Wallis. Yankee farmer
of Douglas. Mass. and bachelor, made
his will ON November IL. 1871. be de-
vised to the town certain woodlands. The
town was 10 sell the real estate and
keep the proceeds as a fund out of which
loans could be made 10 citizens of the
town on real estate whose value was
three times the amount of the loan. The
fund was to run in this way for sixty
years, though loans could he made out of
the accumulated interest as soon as it
was large enough for the purpose. The
innd started in 1913 and was then less
than $1,000.
At the end of sixty years the original
principal and the accumulated interest
were 10 form n new principal which
should be forever kept ON interest,"
With this interest when it had reached
$4,000 the town was TO build 4 town
hail good and durable and with gal
leries upon three sides of il" and with
good clock and bell attached to it,"
The interest accruing after the hall was
paid for was to be used for maintaining
the hall in the first place and then for
the support of the towns paupers.
Ia the early TO's the fund had reached
the $4,000 mark, But the young men
OF the town were anxious 10 have hall
built right away and were for petitinning
the Legislature to annul the conditions
of the will and let the town take the
fund; principal and interest. aud build
a hall with it.
The fund in 1908. Mt the end of the
sixty years, amounted TO $4,000. The
people of Douglas in 1905, still needing
a town hall and mindful of the fact
that the sixty years had expired petit
toned the judge of probate TO let them
use Sl2,UN before the interest on the
new principal had yielded that amount.
The judge granted the petition. but only
upon condition that the town should pay
annually to the treasurer of the fund i'm
terest on the $4,000 at 3ai per cent un-
I'll the payments. together with the in
terest accruing on the invested remainder
of the fund, then S2S,oo0, had amounted
TO $4,000
Recently the town has petitioned the
judge to allow $4,000 for the hail.
This petition has also been granted, and
on similar conditions. The town must
pay interest until its payments, together
with interest ON the remainder of the
fund since 1903, shall aggregate $4,000.
What this means is that the interest
earned by the new principal of the fund
Will be paying for town hall for long
or number of years than the testator in

TO provide for its paupers in the usual
way for an equally longer time. But

his craving by chasing automobiles. He
