"DOuble Fruits"
From mature and Science" in St.
Nicholas.

Double fruits may originate in
either of two ways. Sometimes,
when the fruits are very young, they
may become accidentally pressed to-
gether so tightly that they crush
together, as it were, and may then,
as they become older, grow into n
mass at this junction. This is a kind
of grating. This, however, is not
the common origin of double struc-
lures. All fruits, like buds and the
beginnings of leaves, originate in a
mass of very soft cells which are
easily affected by mechanical in1u-
ences. If one of these soft young
structures, which tends to grow as a
unit, becomes injured at its very tip,
which is the place Of most active
growth, the growth ceases at that
point, but continues to grow without
making an effort to reunite the two
parts. The injury may be caused by
the bite Of an insect, or by some
other external cause; or it. may be
some one of the various influences
we call internal" although there Is
probably no real difference between
external injuries and internal infu-
ences. In this way originate not only
double fruits, but double leaves.

There Was No Answer.

Al an important State function in
London blue tickets were issued to
persons Of high rank, admitting them
to that part Of the hall reserved for
members of the royal family. Less
distinguished guests received white
tickets. Through some mistake an
important public man received a blue
card, while his wife received a white
one.
When the couple reached the audi
ence chamber there began to be trou-
BILE, inasmuch as the lady firmly de-
clined to be separated from her hus-

How the Boy Was Caught.

Jerome S. McWade said Of the
management of children in a recent
Sunday-school address: Diplomacy
succeeds best with the little ones. A
lad of nine came all putting and rosy
in out of the cold the other night and
said:
"'Pa, I'm tired. I've sawed enough
wood for this evening, amt I? I'm
awful tired
"'Tired?' cried the father, looking
up from his paper with an air Of sur
prise and disappointment. Why, I
bet your mother a quarter you'd have
the whole pile done before supper
Ibid you?' shouted the boy, TAX
ing up his hat and mittens again.
Well, you'll win your money If the
saw holds out. Nobody ever bet on
me and lost
And he rushed back to his hard
task again, his eyes flaming with en-
thuSiasm."

The Newspaper is Proof.

A newspaper can lever very credit
ably represent a town whose business
men do not advertise. He may howl
himself hoarse Dragging about the
vim and energy and enterprise of his
town, but if his declarations are not
backed up by a liberal amount OF
advertising by the business men OF
the town, readers will be slow to take
his statements as true. 1t takes more
than the unsupported testimony Of
the local newspaper man to prove to
the world that his town is the finan-
cial centre, the business centre, the
best market and the best place on
earth to buy goods; his evidence
needs confederation.

| a certain r'-ss of INSCRIPTIONS busi-
| ness men Of to-day who abuse the
| power of combination to extort a
| tribute which they do not earn.
II do not oppose combination, but
| the abuse of it. The evil Of monopo-
ly even lies in the misuse Of it.
Intelligent and legitimate combi'
nation in business is merely a phase
| Of higher organization and invariably
results in greater economy and
greater efficiency.
"Such combination is therefore
beneficial, and will benefit not only
the business creators Of the combina-
ton, but the public generally when
ever the public is allowed to partici-
pate in the advantages.
ITO my mind, therefore, it is the
duty of government not to prevent
the combination which is beneficial,
but to insure public participation in
the benefits.
ITO my mind it is the duty of gov
| eminent to prevent overcapitalization
and to control business of a public
or semi-public character where 1t
reaches the point where it is indepen-
dent of competition.
Government ownership Is a RENE
dy for the abuses of some m~onopolies,
but government ownership has its
limitations.
"It is obviously impossible for the
Government to own all businesses OF
an exclusive character.
"The creation of competition, on
the other hand, is generally a step
backward and frequently wholly fails
of it's main object.
Elm st. Louis, for example, there
are three competing telephone lines,
and the sole result of that competi-
ton is that the subscriber is COM
PEELED to pay for three telephones in
stead of one.
OBVIOUSLY a monopoly Of the SER
vice would improve that situation,
and II the monopoly were abused the
service could be either taken e by
the Government or regulated by a
Government commission.
IT have not time in a brief after
dinner talk to discuss these import
ant questions in sufficient detail.
II hope, however, that I have made
clear the point which I have in mind,
namely, that it is the province of
Journalism not only to protect the IN
terests of the people, but to do so
with intelligence and judgment.
1T is the difficult duty Of journal
ism to distinguish between what Is
good and what is bad, not only in
business methods, but in all other
matters which vitality affect the in
terests Of the people.
|. ut is the serious task Of journalism
to distinguish, too, between what Is
good and what is bad in the remedies
proposed for every evil, and, as in
the instance I have cited, to advise
the people not to be diverted into an
attack upon combination in business,
which Is in itself beneficial, but to
carry on a war of determination
against the abuse of the power Of
combination in the hands of men who
are selfish and INSCRIPTIONS to the
point of criminality. -
"In these complex and difficult situ-
ations I feel that the conscientious
publisher should have the support Of
the people and also of that higher ele-
ment in the business world which
recognizes it's W duties and obliga-
lions to the people"

No Changes in Gloves.

Gloves are not expected to show
any startling changes. White has
become the accepted fashion for light
or dressy gowns, and the good wash
chamois holds Its own bravely. White
pique gloves are so universally wof6
in the street, as well as for more for
NAL occasions, that one requires doz-
ems Of them. There is the single
stitching, giving the effect of a raised
cord, which is so trig to wear with

The best feature about white
