CARE IHaI COUNTS.

As showing that It IS scientific csre
OF orchards rather than an alchemy OF
soil or climate that IS the largely de-
termining factor Ia raising high quail

noting the fact that i was south

with the best box fruit of the west
rt is doubtless true that conditions are
better, in Colorado, Idaho. Washington
and Oregon for the production Of ap-
pies than In Iowa. Missouri Arkansss.
Michigan or New York, but notwsth-
standing this It IS the care which the
western fruit ranchnan gives his trees
that Is chiefly responsible Tor his spien-
did success. Were methods that are
st present IN vogue in some eastern
oscharis to be adopted n the western
crust valleys there would not be enough
marketable apples produced on the
ranches to pay taxes and cost of I'LL
age from season to season As we
have before said In these notes, it IS
the patnstakins care that the west

that makes his labor so profitable.
Many an eastern orchard owner has

It Carried OF the Prize at Lord Pan
murs's Dinner.
The following story gives good idea
Of the drinking style In England earls
In the last century. This was what
the men Of that day took for humor:
Two young English noble+nea were
paying visit to Lord Panmure at
Brechin castle. One day he wrote
letter to Panlathie. 4 tenant Of his, to
come and dine with him, and at the
same time he ordered him to bring
sum Of money.
Panlathie was aware when be re-
ceircd the order that something wac to
be- done and went prepared.
After dinner Lord Panmure gave the
first toast, which was, "All hats In the
fire or fo0 on the table" Four hats
were Immediately IN the fire.
One Of the English noblemen gave
the next toast. "All coats in the fire
or $50 on the table" Four coats were
committed to the flames
The other English nobleman gave
the next toast. "All boots in the fire or
900 pounds on the table" The whole
CT the boots were committed to the
flames.
Paniathie's toast came next. which
was, Two fore teeth in the fire or
200 on the table" and par!athie pull
ed his teeth out and threw them into
the ire.
Tie English oob!emen looked anaz-
ed. They didn't know he had false
teeth, and Paniathie went home with
out hat, coat or boots. but with sG0o
il bis pccket. Lord Panmure thought
much OF his tenant after that-Ex-

that King Ferdinand VII. once made

the quaintest ceremonies is the closing
Of the royal palace gates at Madrid
every night. Electric light has beer
IN use in the palace for quite long
while, but nevertheless every evening
at IL o'clock the officiating gentleman
In waiting appears, accompanied by
several servants. who carry ancient
lanterns, to demand huge ley from
q higher official to lock the doors OK
the palace. This IS all the more anus
ing as the huge key does not fit the
modern keyholes. The key is then re-
turned to 4 third official. and every
night gentlemen IN waiting have to
patrol the corridors Of the palace.

The use Of the word attorney de-

1875. attorneys have ceased to exist.
their title merged by Law into that OF
solicitor Of the supreme court Of Judi

Of IN acquaintance that "he did not

Archbishop Trench, IN 1850. noted
that the word attorney was going out
Of favor and that the lower branch Of
