The Gold Run.

Every time we make up our mind
that there's no such thing as pirate
gold buried hither and yOn, something
occurs to change our belief and to get
us all on edge again. The recent Sc
we're storm along the coast of Yucca
tan is said to have uncovered thou
sands of last century English and
Spanish coins buried by the old pirate
Laftte, and again into our soul comes
that old boyhood unrest and belief
that if we started out with a proper
digging outfit and a reliable map we
could unearth treasure galore. When
people find q pot of gold, why in the
name of Capt. Kidd can't they keep
still about it and let us tend to our
blissful knitting ?-Boston Herald.

Christianity in Japan.

In the Protestant Episcopal mission
in Tokyo, Japan, are two boarding
schools for girls, which have some $50
students. The principals and teach
ers are Japanese, with the exception
of two foreign missionary teachers.
In St. Paul's college for boys and
young men are six hundred students,
and there would be many more if they
could be accommodated.

Aluminium Coins for France.

1t is expected that aluminium coins
Of low value will be in circulation in
France by the end of this year 1t is
interesting to note, in this connection,
that the adoption of M. Naquets prop
osition for an aluminium coinage in
1871 would have resulted in a heavy
loss to the French treasury. Although
experts declared it to be impossible
that the value of the metal should de-
crease, it has now fallen to nearly half
the price ruling at that time.

PURIFYING Air in Rooms.

Prof. Charles Richet of Paris has
devised a means for purifying the air
in rooms His apparatus is an air
filter which mechanically sterilizes
air. Very fine drops of glycerine are
scattered along the walls of a cylin-
der containing suction fam Each
particle of air drawn in by the fan is
freighted with glycerine, and hence
tends to drop, thereby carrying with
it the germs, dust and microbes with
which it may be laden.

Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox states that
she saw the light of day over a hundred
years before she saw it in Wisconsin
where she was lately born Ella Wheeler.
1t is a far cry from the Land of La Fol-

that is where Mrs. Wilcox played her
little part in her last previous ~incarna-

interviewer, that | believe implicitly in

made myself the center of a brilliant
group of brilliant people. Richelieu was
a friend of mine and that is perhaps the
reason for my present dislike for clerics."
Now isn't that a strange thing, but
in our former incarnation we were Rich
elieu. We recall perfectly meeting Mrs.
Wilcox on the boulevard Saint Michael
and remaking to her, why, hello, Ell,
how fine you're looking. Come on in
and have a sundae and a cigaret." And
she did.
Mrs. Wilcox was certainly a gay per-
sonage in those days, and we remon-

forming the Fruiting Habit

In pruning for fruit the location
of the fruit buds must be borne in
mind. The peach forms fruit buds
on new wood that is, the wood
growth in 1909 bears the fruit of
1910. The chief aim of the peach
grower is to keep the tree trimmed
back so that the bearing wood is as
close to the main branches as posi-
BILE. The grape is pruned back
each year to few buds or branches
called canes, for the fruit is borne
on shoots which grow from buds
borne on the previous years
growth. Apple, pear, cherry and
most plums bear their fruit buds
upon very short lateral branches
called fruit spurs. These spurs are
formed on wood older than one
year. They grow in length very
slowly, frequently only very small
fraction Of an inch each year.
Spurs on the inner branches
frequently fail to produce fruit
buds. 1t is believed that this is due
to poor leaf development. caused by
lack of light, and may be remedied
by judicious pruning. Care must
be taken that branches previously
shaded are not suddenly exposed to
the direct rays Of the sun, or sun
scald is likely to follow. Borers
are liable to infect such injured
branches. and in time cause the
death of the tree. Close observa-
ton is necessary to detect the press
ence Of these insects, and when
once detected they must be destroy
ed. A sharp knife and light wire
are useful in locating and destroying
borers. Farmers and Drovers'
