Tnke Care of the Orchard.

Now and then we hear Of farmers
with an apple orchard who cannot see
that 1t will pay them to take good
care of it, says the Rural New York
er. In one case a farmer sold apples
enough from his orchard to buy him
ten good COWS for his dairy, yet he
cannot see that it would pay him to
spray and prune the trees There is
some scale In this orchard. and the
fruit Is usually wormy. Taken in hand
now with oil and later with arsenic
for the Cooling worm this orchard
would give the easiest money on the
farm. We would like to shake such
men up and let them see the future
The demand for good apples is sure to
increase, while bearing trees are not
keeping pace with the demand. Young
trees are being planted. while many
orchards are dying through lack of
care DO not, under any circumstances,
neglect good apple trees. Stay by
them with all the care you can muster

WOMEN ACCOUNTANTS.
There Are Sad to Be Twenty-Five in
This Country.

One line of work which women have
recently taken up is accounting. There
are said to be about twenty-five women
engaged in this work in the United
States. They have come into the held
within the last two or three years ana
have met with unexpected success.
1t is hard work, but it is far more re-
munerative, according to a writer III
The Bookkeeper, than any other OF the
professions in which women have here
tofore engaged. \ director III Leading
commercial school of New York says
Il know of two women OF well known
concerns who have mapped out and put
into operation n complete new system
of financial methods for their employers

whose advice has been followed III many
other important business undertakings

proved their ability and liking Tor thiS

steadily growing. 1t offers a Spienuiu

In the bookkeeping classes there are
about as many women as men. A very
large proportion of these women, who
appear to have marked out business
career, are college bred, and many oth-
ers are high school graduates. one rea-
son given for this tendency is the over
crowding of such professions as teaching.

LANDING A GIANT PIKE.
Was As Inches in Length-Said to BIZ
Largest Caught in British Isles.

A giant pike, which is for English and
Scotch streams the record catch, was
caught last Sunday on the Hampshire
stour by the orthodox method of rod and
line.
This fish weighed ana turned the scale
at 3714 pounds. The length is 40 inches
and girth a inches. When first taken
out of the water on SUI aay morning it
was weighed with sprilg balance and
reached the figure of 40 pounds, but IN
the intervening time it has shrunk TO
its present size. Said the captor OF TINS
noble prize:

Lord Wimborne's estate. The stream
was in flood, and | was fishing with snap

hour before caught and given away IA

male fish. | dropped my bait into the

fought me for nearly half an nour, ana
at last l managed to get her toward

THE whole thing was a tiuke propa-

was exquisite. and the pink spots which

however. for congratulation is that she

she might long have survived as the

HE'LL GATE OF THE LAKES.
Greatest Golfer Dam in the World Now
Building There.


For more than third of century
the United States government has been
striving to provide n channel III the
lower Detroit river that would prove
equal to the constantly increasing de-
mands of marine interests on the Great
Lakes.
The conquest of the Lime Kiln cross
ing some fourteen miles below Detroit,
and the most troublesome spot on the
inland seas, has kept government engl-
neers busy for years, made contractors
wealthy and furnished employment for
hundreds of skilled drill and dredse
men.
Were all the collisions, groundings and
other accidents that have taken place III
the vicinity of the Lime Kiln crossing
to be enumerated, says The Technical
World. the showing wo>ld be impressive.
Now this most perplexing problem of re-
moving this hindrance to further marine
development is we'll along toward Il So
luton that will, it is confidently predict
ed eliminate trouble for all time.
The change is being brought about
through one of the most remarkable en-
cheering feats on record, which involves
nothing less than the construction of the
greatest Golfer dam the world has ever
known, the pumping out of an area
more than a mile in length and approx
mately one-third of mile in width and
cutting in the dry from the limestone
rock forming the river bottom course
800 feet in width and a mile in length
that will when completed accommodate
the largest vessels on the Great Lakes.

Ever Increasing Beggars of Bombay.

The nuisance caused by beggars in
Bombay has assumed unbearable proper
tons. The Orientals practice charity as
a religious obligation and relieve power
ty where they find it. Rectals from ke-
bit and Marabal never fail to touch the
innermost chords of the natives with
their innate reverence for spritualism,
and the fakir backs up his appeal for
aims with profuse quotations from the
poets. Then there are lay beggars and
religious beggars, the ash besmeared as
cetics who practice mendicancy as a
hereditary profession. Last and not
least are the unfortunate sufferers whom
the loss of limbs or eyes or some fell
disease disables for work and drives
them TO beggary as the last resource
These latter have genuine claim on our
charity, but as there are so few asylums

OF the milk depends largely upon the
