Would I Change My Work?

The thought comes to me sometimes
would change my life-work, my
choice of letters as vocation, if
had my life to live againG Certainly
would not, for the literary life seems
to afford spacious and exhiarating
field for the work of man who wishes
to think and grow. Moreover, litera-
ture to me has been, not a preference
but passion.
That have been able to follow the
choice of my heart places me among
the fortunate few, for how many are
forced, by the tyranny Of circumstances
into lines dstastefuI to their senti-
ments! And, no doubt, this misfit of
environment and this instruction of
energy are the causes of much of the
dilatory and imperfect work of the
world. 1t seems an unfailing trutsh
that the best work, like nest building
and honey making. must be done in

Since that hour of boyish vision,

never once did forget my boyish hope
or waver from it-never once did my
purpose fog or my interest falter. Into

in our old country. But, all the same,
think the fruit might be benefited IL
you did some of the things that every
French grower does. France is the
country Of detail, you know, and we
think it pays in fruit growing just as
1t does In cooking.
"The fruits we pet and pamper most
are the peach and the grape. The ma
jority OF peaches grown in this coun-
try would seem to Frenchnan to be
distinctly of the second ordef--that is,
in the language Of his fruit culture. a
peach de plein vent or one grown on
trees In an orchard. Between peaches
grown thus, open to the wind and
those trained ON trellIses against walls
the French make sharp distinction.
1.-THE trellis, or .espaller,' peaches
are the only ones that appear on
carefully regulated table and are uni
versally cultivated. They always com.
mand much higher price than the
tree peach. and at Montreuil the fruit
has been brought to such perfection
that they habitually sell for from 40 tc
80 cents apiece.
4 "Eyen more elaborate Is the proee-
dure with fine table grapes. Hothouse
grapes are not highly in favor among
French epicures, for they are held to
lack the rich favor of the fruit grown
in the open. At the same time grapes
are so much III demand as table
delicacy that it is desirable that their
season should be prolonged as far as
possible into the winter. The difficulty
Of this situation has been met by
system which. complicated as 1t is. is
quite generally in use.
1.-The grapes are grown on trellises
exposed to the sun and six or seven
yards apart, like the peaches. When
the clusters are ripe they are put with
the stem and leaves In sort Of glass
box or bottle, which is placed in q

posing OF his stock 10 the best houses.
THE same care In lesser degree runs
through all the French grower does.
In certain places, but only in a few,
the apricot is treated with all the care
shown 10 the peach. II Is less profita-
bic to grow, for II does not keep well
except by an expensive process OF
coating Il with wax. The trees. how.
ever. are kept very carefully pruned.
and the production OF each IS limited.
Growers can at once retard fruit
and dwarf trees TO such an extent that

trees small enough TO be served. pot
and all. on the table. Peaches thus
grown lone on tree only cost
about 500 a piece. other things in pro-
portion. and the fruit is sold usually
not to French people, but TO visitors
with more money than discretion. who
think IL smart to initiate what they
consider the luxury of our gay capital.
'AlI this care OF detail may seem abb
surd to you who have a country so
large and so lavlshly productive as
America. Still, think II is an open
question whether even here. where
time is money so much more than II
is in Europe, the expenditure of care
and thought on some neglected details
might not lead to the financial profit Of
some growers
