seedless Apple Discovered.

A seedless apple tree, bearing a
sweet apple that looks something
like the sheep-nose, has been found
on the farm of G. E. Bell, at Esk-
ridge.
Samples of the apple were received
by the State Horticultural Society,
and next spring an effort is to be
made to propagate them by grating
the buds from this tree, the same as
grating is done in other trees.
1t is believed variety of seed
less apples will be developed. The
tree on Mr. Bells farm has been
bearing three years. There is no
sign of a seed, but there is a small
core, which apple men think can be
entirely removed by careful propaga-
ton Chicago Inter Ocean.

Lord Roberts On ..Perfcct Liberty. .


Every man ought to be trained
so that he can defend his home in
time of need" said Lord Roberts, at
the Mansion House, when city
scooolboys were presented with the
trophies, medals, and prizes won at
Bisley and elsewhere during the
year.
That" he added, sis what call
perfect liberty. 1t is a puzzle to
me why this country does not take
up the question of training seriously
We have compulsory education, and
after that a boy is cast adrift;a but
that is just the time when he wants
looking after. If we want to get
men who will be a credit to the
country, we must look after them
while they are boys.
I consider that every single boy in
the country ought to be taught a
certain amount of drill and rife
shooting, and then, when he became
man, he would at once fall in with
any law that might be passed for
universal training in this country .

They came to look like raw beefsteak, all

and burned. They were SO swollen that
could not get my shoes on for week or
more. used five or six different remedies
and got no help, only when applying them
the burning was worse and the itching less.
For two or three weeks the suffering was
intense and during that time I did not
sleep an hour at time. Then one morn

moment it touched me the itching was
gone and have not felt bit of it since:
The swelling went down and in two days I
