 Proper Limits.

New York-Magistrate Freschi. no ted for his Solomonlike decisions, set tied an important point in the bringing up of family.
 The case under consideration was that of Frances Banner, thirtee2 years old. who had her mother arrested on a charge of assault, alleging that Mrs. Banner struck her over the head with the heel of her slipper, infiicting a SC we're wound.
 The mother proved by the testimony of Dr. Costello. q Brooklyn surgeon, that the wound was nothing more than an abrasion of tke skin. It looked formidable. however. in it's big com press of cotton.
 Magistrate Freschi was certain the punishment was inflicted in a spirit of loving kindness, so he discharged Mrs Banner in the following words;

Methods of Japanese Are Improved Upon on an Experimental Farm
 Growth of Plants.

Houston. Tex.-The United States may. within the next few years, be- come a competitor with Japan in the production of camphor. The expert ments which the department of agri- culture has been conducting In the gulf coast region of this state in growing the trees from which this ar ticle of commerce is distilled have proved beyond question that 1t can be made highly profitable industry.
 On the demonstration farm at Pierce, just north of Bay City, cam phor eeeds were planted several years ago and they soon germinated, the trees having a remarkable growth. In one years time the plants reached g height of IS inches, which is said to be a moro rapid growth than they have in the camphor producing re- gions of the world
 The seeds were planted in rows, and were not fertilized, nor did they re. ceive unusual attention. Best results are obtained by planting the seed un der shelter. where the tender plants have protection until they are well enough advanced in size for trans, planting
 An unusual method of harvesting the camphor crop Is recommended for this region by the agricultural experts of the federal government It is held by them that a regular annual profit of s300 to s450 an acre may be ob tained from camphor farm in the gulf coast territory by cutting the camphor plants with moving ma chine when they reach a height of about l2 inches from the ground, in. stead of waiting until the trees are of full growth size and then cutting them. as Is done on the island of For mosa. from which the bulk of the worlds output of camphor comes.
 It has been demonstrated that by cutting the plants yearly in the man. ner suggested. larger percentage of camphor can be obtained from the
