 Gaps and-cats," said Nancy placidly, as she dropped another lump of sugar into her tea cup.
 Caps and cats?" asked Peggy and I in consternation, the Idea seemed so very absurd.
 What kind of caps?" I gasped.
 And cats?' chimed in Peggy.
 Perfectly fascinating" answered Nancy
 You mean the caps or the cats?" asked.
 Both" she replied, "but particularly the caps I have brought lot of them to show you" And then she unrolled a small pack age wrapped in tissue paper and said:
 Some of these I got from Paris, some from Vienna, but most of them came from little old New York. I have a friend up there who has given up Art that is, painting pictures-to build pie lures out of muslin and lace and chiffon, and a few artificial flowers
 Nancy shook from among the billowy folds of mousseline and lace a dainty little affair which looked like dolls hat, and she said:
 "Of course you know these are sam ples. My friend in New York merely sent these to help me start. She gets $10 and SIS for them! Others are less expensive, depending on the amount of ribbon and lace that is used and the work involved in making them.'

Western Apple Orchards.

Major William H. Halling, vet
ly purchased a fine apple orchard in
Wenatchee, the garden spot of Wash
ington, says that the removal from
Chicago was a happy one and he
would under no circumstances live in
big city again. He reports a great
advance in apple orchards and fewer
for sale than heretofore, the result
being that owners of large tracts of
lands are opening up new regions and
setting out apple and other fruit and
nat trees. Land without any trees
has been selling as high as $3.50 an
acre. and tracts set out with apple
trees, with the precision that the SELL
er shall take care of the trees until
they are Ave years old, have sold for
$500 an acre. Apple orchards in full
bearing bring enormous prices, sales
having been made as high as $4,000
per acre. These irrigated lands pro-
duce enormous crops of the finest ap-
pies grown anywhere and made a
great showing at the recent mammoth
land show held in the Chicago Coli
scum. They are of unusual size and
are deep, rich red in color. The ap-
pies sell around $225 a bushel box
and have big demand from domestic
buyers and exporters, only prime Sc
lected fruits being sold and the re-
mainder ground into cider or eaten at
home. The country is being settled
very fast, and newcomers are arriv-
ing from all directions. Great stor-
age houses have been erected and
these are carrying large quantities of
fancy apples, owners expecting to see
higher prices before very long. Many
former residents of cities have been
attracted to Wenatchee and other
newly developed western irrigated
tracts of land and are learning to be
independent by cultivating the soil.

Council Bluffs, Iowa, Jan. 15.-It
is believed the whole inside story of
how the notorious Maybray gang
succeeded in fleeing its victims out
of more than a million dollars by
means of fake horse races, fights
and wrestling matches may be told
in court here next week. On Monday
the case of James c. Maybray and
his "a alleged associates will come
up for argument on the defendant
demurrers. The indictment against
Maybray and others was returned
last September by the United States
grand jury for the southern district
of Iowa and charges them with con.
spring to defraud through the use
of the United States mails. 1t is
reported that several of thise indict.
ed are ready to turn states evidence
and disclose all they know about the
operations of the alleged swindle
syndicate.

yesterday morning before the horti-

the result of government cooperation
along the lines of agriculture and
horticulture. He urged the organiza-

He stated that the commercial
fruit grower should urge congress for
speedy action on the road question,

Concerning the work of the organ

Mr.. Jacques Loeb, Chairman of the
Board of Endowment Trustees pre-
scented his report, which was read and
referred to the Committee on Endow-
ment.
Several resolutions bearing upon diff
ferent subjects were introduced.
Among these were resolutions that the
general committee collect and eXpend
$4,000 to suppress the white slave traf-
fic in the Seventh District and that
the grand lodge go on record as max
ing part of the propaganda work of the
district the immigration through the
port of Galveston of Jews and their
location in the Southern section of the
United States.
Brothers Charles Rosen and A. A.
Marx, were granted permission to dis
cuss the resolution which was offered
by Bro. Rosen.
The resolution in question was to
change the law so that District Grand
Lodge No. may elect all the dele
gates representing the B'nai Birth, on
the Board of Managers of the Touro
Infirmary, instead of the method now
prevailing that each lodge located in
New Orleans elect a delegate to repre-
sent them.
Bro. Rosen spoke in favor of his
resolution while Bro. Marx opposed it.
The resolution was referred to the
Committee on Laws and Lodges.
Bro. Jacques Loeb, on behalf of the
Past Presidents Association reported
that $G50.0O had been collected from
about forty lodges for the purpose of
placing a bust of Leo. N. Levi on the

About thirty lodges have failed to
date to contribute to this fund At
least a thousand dollars is required to
carry out the plan.
The Fidelia Club House was re-

If he could he would be unable to

is a complicated one, involving not

o~il-fuel, chaper, claener and safer
than coal though it may be. The an
nual production of petroleum in the
world is about 40, 600, 900 tons per an
mum. Here is a wide margin; but
about 95 per cen of that production
is the output of foreign countries. The
United States yield about ga per cent
of the whole; and then come Russia,
with % per cent; Galicia, with 4.50
per cent; Roumania, with 3 per cent;
Mexico with 1.25 per cent, and so on.
THE proportions of the total supplied
by British possessions are as follows:
India, about 2 per cent: Canada, about
0.20 per cent; Borneo, about 3 per
cent, and Scotland and other places
about 0.05 per cent. These are start
ling figures. because they show how
largely, if not absolutely, we are de-
pendent on foreign sources for our
supplies of mineral oils, even with our
own home distillation. In plain Eng
lish, we could not adopt oil as the sole
fuel of our navy without making large
contracts for supplies with some for
eign power or powers.
Now the sources of supply that are
visibly increasing are Russia Though
the latest return is still considerably
below that of 1904 since the disturb

Java, Galicia, Roumania. India, Japan,
Mexico and Peru. America is also in
creasing her output, but from opening
up new fields rather than by increas-
ing the yield from the old fields. The
output of the United States was H.
0S0, $50 barrels of AZ gallons each in
1904 and 179,672,497 barrels in 1908.
SO far this increase is satisfactory, but

it is difficult to see whence we should
get our oil fuel.
While we import about $4,000, 600
gallons per annum of petroleum for
lamp or illuminating purposes, we
also import about 16. 900, 900 gallons
of heavy oil for fuel purposes. II is,
therefore. no new thing in our BUSH
