A Big Feeder.

The biggest man in the Italian navy is
in Washington and, according to an odd
custom, as old as the time of Caesar
navy, he had the oldest dinner in Wash
ington. This literally great Roman is
Chief Gunner Stramaccione of the Ital-
ian cruiser Etrurio, now in port. 1t is
stated that he could have eaten the
whole of the Presidents mince pie as a
mere appetizer. The ancient law that
was evoked in honor of Stramaccione, is
that the biggest man in the navy shall
have at the Christmas dinner at least
twice the share of any other person
aboard ship, including an admiral, if
one were on board. Stramaccione had
set before him dinner, therefore, of two
Virginia chickens, two hams, two bottles of
chiante, in fact, two of everything on the
menu.

was packing up to move out of the pal

the deceased statesman on the day of
the assassination.

thing or to throw it away" she said.

said her mother. "Some collector might
pay you a good round sum for that gar
ment."
"How absurd!' retorted Calpurna.
"What kind of collector would want a
thing like thatY
"Oh, you never can tell,' said the old
lady. "Some rent-collector may come
along some time, and it is Just full of
'em. "-Lipipncott's Magazine.

The voluntary transfer Of the West
ern football crown to Notre Dame, by
the athletic authorities of the University
of Michigan is significant incident in
the eyes of the advocates of clean uni
versity athletics. 1t is a declaration
that the athletic organization of the
University of Michigan believe in the
maintenance of rules which shall guard
sport on track and field against the
ringer" or the athlete who has lodged
beneath the university requirements.
Michigan's absence from the Western
football conference and her cultivation
Of relations with the East were due
to desire to retain upon the football
team several players who were ineligible
under the rules of the conference, and
the surrender of the football honors TO
Notre Dame therefore indicates a change
of heart in this important particular. 1t
is to be hoped that the honorable course
of the Wolverine athletes will cause the
authorities of all universities to purge
sport on field and track of all phases
Of deceit and unfairness.

Doan's Kidney Pills Make Lasting Cure

Charles Hansing. 524 Bouthillier ST, Gaena,
ILL., says: 81 only too pleased to give Doan's
Kidney Pills my endorsement, in the hope that
other kidney sufferers will profit by my expert
ence For month more / suffered from a.
steady, dull ache across the small of my back,
and if I sat down for awhile, it was all
could do to get UP. Often compelled to
place my hands on my knees as support, so
severe was the pain in my back. I did not rest
with any comfort and any sudden movement sent
sharp twinges through my kidneys. After plas-
tiers, liniments and various remedies which
took had failed to help me, began using Doan's
Kidney Pills, and the contents of two boxes eff
fected cure have never lost an opportunity
of saying good word for this medicine since"
The above statement was given in Feb, 1907,
and on Mar. 81, 1909, Mr.. Hansing said: Dur
ing the past two years I have had no need of
Doan's Kidney Pills. having been free from kid
ney complaint. I take pleasure in confirming all
I have heretofore said regarding the merit OF
this remedy"

was a constant dull pain across the small OF
my back which was almost unbearable Damp
weather greatly aggravated the complaint ana
made me feel miserable. MY health finally be-
came affected and the doctors seemed unable to
help me. Having my attention called to Doans
Kidney Pills procured a supply at F. w.

short time when I began to improve. BEFORE
long was free from the trouble and my kid
neys were restored to a healthy condition"

have more faith in Doan's Kidney Pills than
ever. / willingly confirm the statement gave

The science of the marine architect has
reduced the dangers of the sea to a mini
mum, but until the upper works of pas
senger steamers are made fre-proof there
will always be danger from fire, which
can be reduced only by constant vigil
ance. The same remark can be made in
regard to collisions. which can be pre-
vented by close watch on deck while

possible blazes.

Senator Reed Shoots happy discovery
that the new battleship Utah was
launched on the anniversary of the birth
of Joseph Smith, the Mormon prophet,
can probably be matched by a thousand
and one other anniversaries, even among
the Smiths. A little research would
probably reveal that other battleships
have been launched on the anniversary
of other Mormons. But that has not
harmed the ships, and the Utah will
doubtless be as good fighter as though
she had been launched ON day other
than that on which the Prophet came
into life.

After all that has been said anent
the recent disaster in the mine at Cher
ry, Illinois, concerning the duty of own
ers to safeguard the miners, and the
duty of the latter to protect themselves
and their fellows by the exercise of care,
it is discouraging to learn that the mine
explosion just reported from Herrin,
Illinois. where eight men lost their
lives. was due to the carrying of open
lamps by the mine engineer and his as
sistant. Going through a mine with
bare lights is like toying with matches
in the vicinity of powder magazine
and explosions and deaths will result
so long as miners persist in the unwise
practice.

PROF. LAKE TELLS
EAST OF HOOD RIVER
Norwich Conn., } Bulletin.

Norwich Conn Bulletin.
There was an interesting meeting OF
the horticultural society held in the
Buckingham Memorial Thursday. The
meeting WAS called to order by presi-
dent s. A. Gilbert, who introduced
Prof. Edward r. Lake, of the State
Agricultural college, Oregon, but at
present associated with the department
of agriculture at Washington, d. c.,
who spoke upon different phases OF
horticulture in Oregon. The desirable
part of Oregon is the valleys and he
described especially the Willamette
and the Hood River valleys. This
region is typical of the northwest
and Prof. Lake himself, after twenty
years spent in this region, is good
representative of it. Professor Lake
confined himself to the subject of
fruits, in which he is especially inter-
ested. Growing fruits for money is one
of the chief industries in these valleys.
1t rains from November to April,
but never heavy downpour. Just now
Oregon is raising apples for the
country. A standard measure and
grade is necessay--but the bill now
before congress is inadequate to the
needs of Oregon.
The varieties grown have had to be
experimental with. Many old time
varieties were tried at first and found
unsatisfactory. New ones like the
Yellow Newtown, Spiteznberg and
Jonathan have been found better
suited. They have learned, too, to
grow apples in the basement instead
of the attic. The expense is so much
less in this way, as the constant song
among the apple growers is "Let us
spray" They are also easier to pick.
The women help pick and pack them.
They require not too much water
and deep soil. The trees are planted
forty feet apart and made to branch
near the ground. The shoots are con-
tinually cut back to accomplish this.
The apples are thinned out each year
until they do not touch, thus making
no off years and insuring better color
and quality of fruit. 1t is, more ex-
pensive to raise large crop of apple
seeds than a smaller one of tissue.
The Hood River valley produces es-
pecially fine fruit, and l27 of the fruit
growers here are college graduates.
They have brought eastern ideas with
them among them that of civic i'm
provement. They wanted nice homes,
lawns and landscape gadening, clean
towns, sidewalks-in short, model
town.
In questions asked at the close, the
answers gave eight years as the time
required to get an orchard into good
shape. He also emphasized the i'm
portance of growing but one crop at a
time. The orchards are cultivated
every ten days to keep the grass from
growing. When the soil gets heavy
cover crop is sown in September and
turned in in the spring. Five thousand
acres of new orchards are being planted
week every year. The spraying is
the most work in apple raising.
