Miss Flora Wilson, daughter of the

years preparing for grand opera under
Jean de Reszke. At her first public
appearance she rendered number of
difficult operate selections in such a
way that her friends were enthusias-

Der of the American colony was pres

and was also the recipient of about 100
pounds of orchids and roses. Miss

in grand opera next year.
Since the death of her mother Miss

DWARF APPLE TREES.
An Interesting Account of Two Types
Used For Stocks.

Used For Stocks.
Unlike the dW&rf pear. which is
budded or grated on Quinee stock. the
apple when grown as dwarf is work
ed on dwarf forms of the same species.
Dwarf and many other curious forms
Of any plant may appear where many
seedlings are grown. The dwarf or
bush lima bean may be mentioned as
an example. The bloomleSs or seed
! less apple. of which so much has been
said of late, has appeared at many
| places, both in the United States and
i in Europe. as is shown by the litera-
ture of horticulture.
Paradise and the Douein.
There are two types of these dwarf
apples which are used for stocks.
known as the Paradise and the Douc1n.
The exact origin of the Paradise apple
is not known, as several ancient WITT
ers describe different apples under this
name or the apple of Adam. One writ
er describes variety as the true
Paradise, in which the bite of Adam
and Eve can be seen. This notion
probably comes from peculiar blush
on one side of the fruit. 1t is evident
that the name has been applied to
many different forms, all of which
make a tree of about the same height,
ranging from six to eight feet.
The origin of the Doucin is more
certain. 1t appears to have originated
in Italy and was first brought to no.
tice probably in the sixteenth century.
This makes a larger tree than the
Paradise, being about midway between
the latter and a standard tree, states
an authority in Country Gentleman
For this reason the Doucin has not
been much used as stock. Nearly
all the dwarf apple trees in this coun
try are propagated on the Paradise
stock.
Most of the stock is grown in France
, where our nurserymen procure thell
, supplies.

Gentle Art of Making Enemies.

Whistler, the great American painter,
may be better known for his pamphlet
entitled 1.-THE Gentle Art of Making
Enemies than for his wondrous pic
lures. And it is an art practiced by
not a few people, though it is only
cynicism that would ever call 1t gen
tie. Some are always getting hurt and
offended. They seem ever on the look
out for sights and rudeness, and so
turn and twist many an unintentional
thing into a deadly insult. And it's
funny. if we are on bad terms with
some folks, whether by their fault or
ours how we are always running up
against them.
He that hath 4 thousand friends
Hath not one friend to spare,
And he that hath an enemy
| Will meet him everywhere.
Though true. this is decidedly an un-
pleasant circumstance, and so, for your
own sake, it is best to be as little pug
nacious as possible. Having enemies
is a luxury none of us can afford II
we want to make the best of life and
have our friends and relatives make
the best of it, too, and, in addition to
this, there is the higher side OF the
question, for we are enjoined in the
book to love one another. We must
not be too hard on one another nor toe
critical. If we were weighed in the
balance we use for others 1 am sure
we would often be found wanting
But we have a private, very differ
ent, balance for home use as a rule
Let US ponder on what Oliver Wendell
Holmes once said, Surely while the
Lord can tolerate me can tolerate
my fellow creatures" 1t is not love
but an excess of self love. that is at th'
root of all evil. We fancy that we ar
not treated with proper respect, no
as we ought to be. We would all ge
on a good deal better if we put sell
IN the background and tried to maxi
others happy and enjoy themselves
We wouldn't get offended then. LIE
US try 1t.

West Brookfield he has preserve win
deer, elk, buffaloes. bears, foxes, wild

business of breeding animals for about
ten years and has sold during that

elk, so wild boars, a dozen bears, 1UO
pheasants and swans and almost IN

RATIONAL REPRESENTATION.
Some of the Larger Grange States Are
Festive Under Present Rules.


An inportant resolution passed at. the
last meeting of the New YORK STATE
grange was to the effect that the STATE
grange adopt method of representa-
tion in the national grange by which
e.cl, state shall be represented accord
inr to membership. 1t will be renem-
bcred by those who are familiar WIN
the workings of the national grange
that two years ago Mr.. Kegley. from
Washington state, introduced resoiu-
tion of similar purport, but II was
given q back seat But it is more than
likely that a resolution changing the
representation in the national grange
will be introduced at the next annual
session of the national grange Inc
matter is being urged in Michigan as
we'll as in New York and other states.
There is obvious injustice in the pres
ert method of representation IN the
national grange. considering the pald
No membership. New York, with It's
77.OOO members. has but two votes.
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa. Indiana
and Colorado have ten votes, with q
combined paid up membership of 4,oOo.
SayeraI other states could be added TO
these FIVE before membership equal
to New York state alone, and these
five states have ten votes for 4,ooo
members, while New York, with It's
1900 mrmbers, has only two votes
New York has three counties, eacn OF
which exceeds in membership these
five states named While in some re-
spects the present system should DC
retained, there are others where the
representation according to MEMBER
ship is greatly to be desired, and we
anticipate new discussion OF the
question when the national grange
meets in Washington next November.

er citrus fruits are also affected, but
not to the extent Of the lemon, on ac-
count of the methods Of handling the
latter fruit Brown rot in the pack
ing house is distinguished most clear
Iy by two features-tts rapid spread
in the fruit by contact and its charac-
Seristic odor. The odor of brown rot
in citrus fruit is most characteristic
and to one familiar with it serves to
detect even a very small amount OF
rot in a large amount of fruit.-Ralph

fruit. Well drained, heavy clay loans
are the most suitable for gooseberr1es,
as these usually are both cool and
moist. The soil should have abundant

application of well rotted manure
thoroughly worked into the soil Will
do much to bring about these favora-

The Pearl gooseberry is an American
variety. The bush is a moderately up

Fire is one of the terrors that
dodge at the elbow of the japanese
householder all the time, and be-
cause he lives in a matchwood dwell
ing Sakure-san has to take curious
precaution against the sudden loss
Of all his household goods. This
precaution is the godown.
The stranger in Tokyo OF Yoko-
hama who sees from his rickshaw a
strange iron plated building with
doors like turret shutters and point
ed roof heavily incrusted with tiles
is led to beliege that here perhaps
is some feudal fort of the old time,
ready to house fighting men against
the attacks of ii street mob. Bat
when the tourist finds one of these
black sheeted buildings on every
other block he learns from the
country dweller that these things

household goods.
When a fire gets we'll started in
the crowded blocks of dolls houses
! in a japanese city, it is rarely stop

scar has been drawn across the
whole face of the district. Because
the houses are so fimsy and crowd
ed so closely together that the Jap
anese fremen even at their hest can
do little with well developed blaze
certain astute citizens erect these
iron sheathed and shuttered two
storied storehouses, wherein the
householders of the neighborhood
and the storekeepers of the district
can store away their valuables.
The godowns are so heavily
sheathed with iron plate and sc
weighted with mud tiles that they
rarely burn. All day long theil
windows are kept almost hermetic'

In dry soils gooseberries suffer very
