VARIETIES OF FRUIT.
Washington Professor Makes Stud,
of Each Region.

Washington Professor Makes Study
of Each Region.
By J. L. Ashlock. Washington State College.
Pullman.
During the past year numerous in.
quiries have come to the State college
department of horticulture asking ques-
tions which generally can be summed
up in the one question: "What kinds
Of fruit will do best where livef"
This class Of quiries has given the staff
OF the state experiment station consid-
erable trouble, since, as stated by Pro-
fessor Thornber, head of the department
Of horticulture, unless the staff mem
bers know exactly the climatic and soil
conditions of the region from which the
question came, erroneous information
may be given, leading the seeker for in
formation to plant trees not at all
adapted to his region.
"Now we have solved the problem, F"
said Professor Thorher, recently. "Dur.
ing the last year we have made care
full survey Of the state with reference to
the particular varieties Of fruits which
are adapted to each region. We have
classified the lists into Western Wash.
ington, Inland Valleys and Upland
Valleys Tn.this list is included ap-
pies, pears, cherries, peaches, apricota,
plums, raspberries, prunes, blackber-
ries, gocseberriee, currants, strawber-
ries and nuts. Early, medium early
and late varieties are given where 1t is
necessary. We submit these lists to all
inquirers now, and from dozen or so
good varieties of apples, pears, ETC.. he
may choose as he likes, according to the
adaptability Of the fruit for bis region.
"Another experiment. we have in
hand is one in which we have selected
sixty-five good yarieties Of apples from
the eight hundred or 30 varieties in the
state experiment station orchard, and
are sending two varieties of each OF the
sixty-five varieties to ten farmers or
iruitzrowers OF Washington. We wish
to determine by this experiment how
eanh variety will do In the particular
region in which it is tried, and in this
way We hope to collect much valuable
data concerning the possibilities for
new varieties Of apples in this region" F"

Had a Thought Coming.

Frau Bic was awarded by the arbi-

her husband through an accident on
board of ship. Not long afterward
on the same ship stoker met with an
accident which cost him a leg, and
the same court awarded him $4,000.
Indignant Frau Bic went to the court
to complain because a man who only
lost leg got so much more than she
was allowed for the loss of husband.
The judge, bland and willy old gen.
tleman, said: my dear lady, that
poor stoker can hardly buy new leg
with $4,000. Now, a good looking
woman like you with $3.50 can
easily get new husband, younger and
perhaps more loving than your late

MARK TWAIN AS A FINANcIER.
Humorist Earned So in Transaction,
and Then Was Bunkoed.

Mark Twain blossomed out with a
new dogs tale at the weekly banquet
of the Peiades club at the Lafayette
Brevoort The theme of the humor-
ist was: How 1t Pays to Be Honest
When 1t Doesn't Hurt Yourself" He
said he was starving with a chap
named Davis, in Washington, in the
latter Cos, and Davis told Twain to
go out and rummage for SO for Scotch
whisky, while he'd stay home.
Twain said he walked into a hotel
and came on the prettiest dog he had
ever seen in the lobby.
Gen. Nelson A. Miles came in with
three months salary. Miles saw
Twain fondling the dog, and offered
Twain so for the animal.
Il haven't any right to sell this dog
for $40" answered the humorist, but
if you'll give me SO you can take the
pup away"
Miles paid the SO and took it away.
The real owner rushed in.
"Tll find your dog for s3," said
Twain. The owner agreed. Twain
walked upstairs, told Miles the situa-
ton, and got the dog back by paying
SO. then received sS for restoring it to
the owner. He took three quarts
back home to Davis, who drank it all
and ignored Twain.-New York Sun.

WHEN THE PREACHER LAUGHED.
Two Occasions on Which Dr.. Eddy
Lost His Gravity.

Rev. DR.. Eddy was one Of the most
dignified and learned of preachers.
He said that in his so years of church
work there were two occasions on
which he could not restrain himself
from laughing. One night bad boy
sat in the gallery and amused himself
by dropping or trying to drop, spit
balls into the open mouth of pillar
Of the church who had fallen asleep
in the amen corner. This incident
nearly broke up the meeting, because
every man and woman in the congre-
CATION was watching the performance,
and no one paid the slightest atten-
tion to DR.. Eddy.
The other occasion which caused
DR.. Eddy to laugh concerned one of
his own sons. This youngster, going
to church in white duck suit, had
nosebleed, and being without
handkerchief, allowed the blood, drop
by drop, to form diagrams upon his
trousers. He made all sorts of fig
urges by moving his head about Mrs.
Eddy finally took notice of this per.
formance, but dared not interrupt her
husbands prayer by motherly Off
ciousness. AS soon, however, as the
prayer was ended she hit her boy a

she felt too weak to go on with it, but
he urged her to try TO finish work
which, he said, would revolutionize
the artistic world.
A week ago the opera was complet.
ed, but the girl had meanwhile become
dangerously i'll.
The young lover was seized with
remorse, for he realized that he had
brought on the illness by making his
fiancee work so hard.
He rushed to her bedside, and after
tearing the opera into shreds he i'm
plored her forgiveness. He then
opened the window and threw himself
to the street below.
