It is somewhat of a moot question
how far the conversion Of old pieces
of furniture to other than their orig
inal uses is advisable or legitimate
1t may be ingenious, but scarcely COM
mendable. or it may be both clever
and satisfactory. Wornout spinets de-
prived of their mechanism and mas

ITEM a more or less pathetic aspect.
Fitted up as writing tables they are
less suggestive of a skeleton and seem
to have taken new lease of life with
some vigor left to them. Whether an
old Dutch cooking pot is equally ap-
propriate and practical when doing
duty as a coal scuttle as when fulfill
ing its primary functions is ques-
ton that is open to doubt, but there is
no disputing its decorative qualities
as a jardiniere. The farmhouse or old
cottage dresser has distinctively gone
up in the world since it was promoted
to the dignity of the dining room side

for statuettes or lamp stands and are
such effective ornaments that they
seem to show a kind Of grateful rec

more feeling Of regret than pleasure

The Dreadnought is only of 1900

QUEER BUSINESS.

A lot of supposedly honest and re-
spectacle people in some sections seem
to consider neighboring orchard as
semi-public property and raid it with
out compunction whenever the fit takes
them. These people may not realize
that it costs the owner just as much
to prune and spray his trees and till
the ground as it does his neighbor to
care for corn, potato or small grain
crop Yet these same folks would

consider it mighty queer business
stealing-if the orchard owner should
go into their fields, husk and make off
with sack of corn or dig and appro-
pirate bushel of potatoes. The prop
osition is just as broad as it is long,
and the ethics involved make no dis
tinction between crop that grows on
trees and that produced on stalks OF
vines.

The sod cover for an orchard is a

One of the secrets of the careful
fruit growers success in the famous
apple valleys of the west lies in the
thinning Of overloaded trees when the
green fruit is the size Of hickory nut
or little larger. 1t costs less to pick
a green apple than ripe one and as
tree has capacity to bring only given
weight of fruit to proper maturity, the
grower secures in increased size what
he loses in number Of apples, with the
result that at harvest time he has ap-
pies Of much larger size and superior
quality. and these two things mean an
increased return.

An advantage of the cement floor in

These may be absorbed by abundant

the saving Of these liquids, the method

In the eye of the law one person has
no right on the premises of another ex-

mission. In common practice one is
not considered trespasser unless he

tice has been given in some public

zz.z3 knots, an average of 1883. Both
marks are in excess of the best per

In attaining this speed the turbine
engines of the North Dakota were

GRAIN SLIPS FROM CANADA.
Dominion Sends Wheat to America for
Shipment Abroad.

Montreal, Nov. 5.-Frelgnt rates have
brought about a curious situation in
connection with the shipment of grain
from Canada to England. Despite the
large increase in the grain output from
tho Canadian West, Montreal is get
ting less Of the grain freight trade
than 1t has had in recent years.
The explanation is that freight rates
from Boston TO Liverpool are one and
one'half cents per. bushel cheaper than
from Montreal to Liverpool and that
though the extra cost of transportation
or the grain from the Canadian West
TO Boston brings the total cost of
treight from the wheat fields to Eng.
land to IL "a cents in each case. the
insurance on the freight from Boston
- less than one-third Of that on grain
on the Montreal route outward bound.
In other words, American ports are
getting Montrcal's grain export trade
because the insurance rates on grain
cargoes frora those ports are about 20
per cent less than those on such freight
from Montreal.
