WISC0NSIN'S
FARMER TRUST

, warfare between the buyers for the
tobacco trust and the state branch OF
the American Society of Equity, and
it is possible that the battle may be
waged as bitterly as that in Ken
lucky. The tobacco company has SC
far refused to pay the prices demand
ed by the farmers organization, and
declaring that the unsettled money
market will aid to break up the farm
ers' union. has commenced a vigorous
campaign to effect its disruption. II
will likely be war to finish and il
is doubtful II much Wisconsin to-
bacco will be placed on the market
for many months to come.
Officials of the union declare that
hundreds of farmers are adding theii
names to the membership rolls daily
and that within year or two prac-
tically all the farmers of the state
will be organized. About thirty-five
years ago similar movement for the
organization of the agricultural in
terests swept over Wisconsin and be.
came So strong that 1t elected VIII.
liam X. Taylor as farmers gov
ernor." Taylor is now an inmate for
a home for the aged at Madison. The
old 'grangers' movement, however,
was political in its nature. while the
present society works along economic
lines. and more nearly resembles a
trade union.

Russian Women.

A Russian paid the following glow ing tribute to the women of. his na. tive land: "The women of Russia com bine the vivacity and wit of the Frenchwoman with the industry and thrift for which the women of Ger many are famous. She is a superb wife and mother and withal a fine mental worker. The Russian girl stu- dent is generally in the front rank at the universities. Doubtless some of her fine qualities are due to the fact that in Russia women are free and are in every respect considered to be the equals of men. Russian women are born politicians and diplomats and so intensely patriotic that they esteem no sacrifice too great for their country; hence as revolutionists-however mis- guided-they are infinitely more daring and devoted than the men. Secrets have been wrung from male revolu' tionaries by torture. but never from the women"

PECULIAR TREES.
They Yield Bread, Butter and Milk
 Soap and Candles.

The breadfruit tree of Ceylon is very remarkable. Its fruit is baked and eaten as we eat bread and is equally good and nutritious. In Barbutu, South America, is tree which, by piercing the trunk, produces milk, with whic1 the inhabitants feed their children. In the interior of Africa is a tree which produces excellent butter. It resembles the American oak, and its fruit, from which the butter is pre- pared, is not unlike the olive. Park, the great traveller, declared that the butter surpassed any made in Eng land from cows milk. At Sierra Leone is the cream fruit tree, the fruit of which Is quite agreeable in taste.
 At Table Bay, near the Cape of Good Hope, is a small tree the berries of which make excellent candles. It is also. found in the Azores. The vege- table tallow tree also grows in Suma. tra, in Algeria and in China. In the island of Chusan large quantities of oil and tallow are extracted from its fruit which is gathered in November or December, when the tree has lost all it's leaves. The bark of tree in China produces a beautiful soap. Trees of the sapindus or soap berry order also grow in the north of Africa. They are amazingly prolific, and their fruit con tains about.3S per cent of caponin.

SIidjno Down a Cask.

One of the vintage ceremonies at Klosterneuberg. the famous convent which the yiennese visit annually on St. Leopolds day. consists in sliding down a giant cask of wine. The im- mense cask was first filled in the fa- nous wine year of I'll. The origin of the sliding Is found in story of a cooper who was in the habit of return ing home in a merry condition. His wife fetched him one day from the village inn. and he attempted to hide behind the cask. She seized broom, however. and with the help of several friends forced him to scramble up one side and slide to the ground on the opposite as a punishment for his con- duct.-London Mail.

Too Many Trombones.

The following anecdote concerning Dcnizetu and the score of Rossini's "Otello" is told by the Musical World:
 Donizetti had asked Sigismondi, tue director of the Naples Conservatorie, to look over the score with him. and the two sat down at table with the work in front of them. Presently Si- gismondi began to rave about Its mon. strous orchestration." Terrible was his indignation when he found that elarinets, bassoons and trombones had been employed in one place to swell a creseendo, but when the fortissimo was reached he uttered cry of de spair, struck the score violently with his fist, upset the table and rushed from the room. exclaiming: "A hundred and twenty-three trombones! A hun dred and twenty-three trombones."
 Donizetti in vain tried to call him back, shouting after him. Not 123 trombones, but first, second and third trombones." Sigismondi would not listen and when last seen was still
 repeating, "A hundred and twenty 1 three trombonesv'
