The playing of the Spanish chant is as | penance for the sacking of convent during the Peninsular war. No req. son is assigned for the playing of the Russian national anthem.

Fruit Tree culture.

The question is very frequently
asked, Do fruit trees do well in sandy
soil? That depends upon cfrcum.
stances. If there is no subsoil of clay
or other material. then there is a
small chance of a successful orchard
on sandy land. A sandy loan. how
ever, is often very good for peaches;
other fruits will frequently thrive in
such places. In some localities in the
Mississippi valley the finest peaches
are grown upon sandy loan soils
where there is not too much damp
ness and moisture. No fruit tree for
that matter should have its feet wet
all the time.
Farmers who do not intend to sell
fruit should not set out too much land
in orchards. Trees need attention and
they need It Just when everything else
needs It, 1t would be easy sailing IL
the trees could be fixed up during the
fall and winter months to bear the
next summer, but nature does not pro-
vide for that, To neglect an orchard
is q downright insult to Mother Ma
ture and that is why no farmer should
bite out a bigger bit OF orchard land
than he can swallow conveniently.

Clever Detective Work.

The adroit methods OF the cont.
mental detectives are illustrated in the
recovery by Baron Leopold o Lie.
ben of Vienna, of two valuable paint
ings, a Bochlin and a Troyon. The
pictures vanished In August, 1905, and
a private detective named Danek was
engaged to trace them. This mar found
that the pictures had been taken to
Brunn, and then to America. Danek
followed and discovered the thief and
his hiding place in Passaic, N. j. He
obtained an adjoining room in the
same boarding house, gained the mans
confidence and learned that he had
stolen the pictures while in Baron
Lieben's home, He had them in a
trunk and showed them to Danek, who
subsequently took them, leaving the
police circular Offering a reward In
their place. Danek arrived in Vienna
some weeks ago and restored the pic,
lures TO their righlful owner.

ant ushered the young man into the
parlor.
The girl did not rise, but as she
flashed a glance from her beautiful
eyes. the young man paused in his
course toward her and took a seat on
the edge Of a small sofa. 1t was not
a glance of anger or even of reproof,
but surely-surely It was not a glance
of welcome. A panied look stole across
her lovely features. and the big. dark
eyes filled with tears.
Clearly. the young man was EN-.
barrassed, but without a word of SYM
pathy, he rose and went to the window
where he stood gazing out with unsee-

The room was very still. Only could
be heard the ticking Of the gilt clock,
and now and then a stifled sigh from
the girl.
Again the doorbeIl rang, and the at.

He glanced coldly at the young man

to him went to the girl with both
