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

The story is told of Pennsylvania
tramp who in his wanderings 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 ap.
pie seeds in fence corners and other
hooks. Many wayside fruit tree is
said to owe it's existence to Apple Tree
Johnny.

WITH THE BRAND OF CAIN.
French Scientist Advocates the Mark
ing of Murderers.

A French scientist has made re-
markable proposal in regard to the
punishment of murderers in France.
He is of the opinion that neither gull
lotining nor life Imprisonment is an
adequate or suitable punishment for
murder. The guillotine, he points out,
infiicts absolutely no suffering on the
criminal, who is probably man who
has passed his life in inflicting suffer
ing on others. AS to life imprison-
ment, 1t entails heavy expense to the
country and generally reduces the
prinoner to insanity He suggests
therefore, that such criminals shall be
branded on the face with a redhot
iron and then released. The branding
he thinks, should be done in public
the M" signifying meurtrier, the
French word for murderer, being
stamped as an ineradicable mark OF
the forehead of the criminal. He would
thus bear about to the end of his days
the mark of his crime, and be con
slant warning to his kind.

Parish REGISTERS,

l was once being shown round a vii
lage church in the, Eastern Counties,
and was solemnly informed by the
somewhat garrulous parish clerk that
the registers went back to the time of
William the Conqueror, says j. F. Will
liams in The Treasury. Lest the same
startling opinion may be held by 9TH
ers, let me hasten to say that parish
registers were unknown in England
before the end of Henry Wits reign,
and happy is that parish which still
possesses its records even from that
date. For our earlier registers have
certainly had very checkered career,
and when we read the story of the
treatment which has been meted out
to them during the three or four cen.
turtles Of their existence, we can only
wonder that they exist in such mum
bers as they do

Griea as a SchooIboy.

Grieg was not pattern schoolboy.
In description of his days at school
he wrote: Knowing that by arriving
late / would not be allowed to enter
the class until the end of the first
lesson, l used, on wet mornings, to
stand under dripping roof, until was
soaked to the skin. The master then
sent me home to change my clothes,
but the distance being long this was
equivalent to giving me dispensa-
ton! You may guess that l played
this prank pretty often, but when at
last l carried it so far as to come one
day wet through, though it had hardly
rained at all, they became suspicious,
and kept lookout. One fine day
was caught, and made an intimate ac.
quaintance with the birch!"

Paganini's Violin.

The famous violin of Paganini,
which was preserved in a glass case,
has been found to be rotting, and
it is certain that the wood will not
last many years longer. This dis
covery has caused agitation as to
the means of preserving the precious
instrument. 1t has been decided
that to keep it few years longer
it shall be taken out once year
and played on for an hour by the
best pupil of the conservatoire.
Only once since the death Of the
greatest violinist who ever lived has
the violin, which is a superb
Stradivarius, been touched, and that
was some years ago, by the Spanish
violinist, Pablo del Sarasate, to
whom the city during triumphal
tour through Italy wished to offer a
signal honor.

Gold In the North.

Perhaps the most northerly gold
fields in the world are those in Lap
land, where the River Ivalo seems to
be the center of an auriferous region,
where gold dredging operations have
been carried on for some time. Dig
gings to the depth of 800 feet have
been completed with view Of finding
out the real course of the ore. The
gold discovered last year by COM
pany, founded in the United States,
amounted to only four pounds, valued
at $1,000. This was found along part
Of the Ivalo river, and the largest mug
get weighed about 1913 grains. There
are three companies digging gold there
now, the latest being the Ivalo com
pany, organized in the United States.
Within the possessions of this com
pany lies Kultala, which was built In
1871 by the Finnish government for
washing gold,

Against The Mob.

After deciding about every law
in favor of the laboring people un-
constitutional--the employers IL
ability among them-and forbid
ing the labor blacklist in the shape
of boycott, while it decides that
the employers blacklist is entire
ly legal, it has been announced
for the Supreme Court that it twill
not yield to popular clamor," and
twill stand between the Constitu-
ton and the mob" This an
nouncement was expected. 1t is
always made in such cases. And
now matters have progressed to
the point where the ''mob" is con-
fronted with the necessity of either
abolishing this court entirely, or
sinking into industrial slavery.
There is no use in talking of re-
forms, of returning the powers OF
government to the three co-ordi-
nate and co-equal branches-the
Court will never permit anything
| of the kind. 1t is already usurp-
ed of so much power that reform is
now impossible; it can prevent
anything of the kind. Only
through some great upheaval may
the Republic check itself in the
way it is going to destruction.
