Japanese Fruit Trees.

Among the many ways Of their own that the Japanese have for doing is their system of pruning and training fruit trees. The system is called "tana," and consists in training the branches overhead on tTellis work made of bamboo or wire supported on wooden posts about five and half feet high.
 This offers advantages in gathering the fruit, and not only serves to pro- tect the trees against wind and storms. but Is said to increase pro duction. Only very light pruning is done, and that usually in the winter time. This system is generally adopt ed for pears and vines. less often for apples and plums.-Youth's Compan ion.

Life of the Grapevine.

There are some who contend that the life of the grapevine is longer than that of the oak. It is rare that a wild grapevine is found that has died of old age. Pliny mentions vine 600 years old. There is a vine at Hampton Court. England. planted in 1769, while here in America there is a wild grapevine on the shores of Mo- bile Bay. within a mile of Daphne, Ala. commonly known as the General Jackson" vine, more than feet in circumference at its base. There is a grapevine in Carpenteria, Cal, un der which more than eight hundred persons may stand It's trunk is eight feet in diameter at the base ana it has borne as high as ten tons or fruit. 1t is said that this vine was planted in 1S42.

ODD WAYS OF THE COMMONS

A member of the British parliament remarks in London Opinion that the rules of the house of commons are past all understanding. and then pro ceecs to cite the case of MT. Pearce. NJ. P, and the imminent danger in which he one day appeared to be. This was when the sergeant-at-arms, with his terrible sword in hand. rose from his chair and rushed with cyclo1ic speed in 'he direction of the mild. meek and altogether uncOnscious-of offense member. It was quickly made clear what was the cause of this nasty saber charge by the sergeant Mir Pearce had actually been reading a newspaper. and there is no more hein- ous offense known to parliament. The members when in the chamber are not permitted to read newspapers for any purpose not immediately connected with the debate actually in progress. though one may succeed in doing it surreptitiously by folding the newspa- per small and concealing 1t behind the order paper of the day, much like a boy may nibble at an apple in school. concealing the pipp!n behind his spelling book. Yet more gross breaches of parliamentary etiquette and decorum may be seen. members even wearing their hats when a fel- low member is addressing the house, and even the dearest friends of an orator may go to sleep while he is de livering his choicest periods.

HEIGHTS" ARE THEIR HooDOOS
Postal Clerks Say. Stamps of That Denomination Cause Them
 Much Financial Loss.

When a meek little man stepped up to the stamp window in branch office and asked for an eight cent stamp he caused as much consterna- tion as if he had demanded your money or your life"
 All the clerks came to the window to take look at him. They muttered to one another and made strange and fantastic signs, crossed their fingers. knocked on wood and did various oth- CT things that are supposed to drive away evil spirits.
 We're just out of eight cent stamps" a clerk finally stammered. Got lots of two and ones"
 Well. gimme a five and a three" said the meek little man. upon receiv- ing which he paid for them and de- parted
 Whats the matter with the eights?" queried an inquisitive specta- tor.
 The stamp clerk was still too h>rv. Ous to answer. but one of the others said, with a smile:
 Flights are hoodoos. None of the small offices handle them if they can help it It's this way: They are just a wee shade different in color from the ones and it is no infrequent thing for stamp clerk in hurry to hand out a let of eights when ones are asked and paid for It always costs him seven cents stamp when he does it. The clerk here the other day, during the rush hour when the offices are closing. was called upon for dollars worth of ones He handed out hundred eights instead. Cost him seven dollars. Then he got rid of all the rest of the eights and now he won't have anything to do with eights. Even says eaten instead of ate"

REAL DENTISTRY IS MODERN. Most of the Improvements Have Been Brought About Within the
 CcnHI.r,L
| aSt Centur,

In some of the ruins of Egypt are engravings representing a man lying on his back, while another is stand ing over him pounding out tooth with rock. This is primitive den tistry and while it might seem to be severe yet. no doubt. it brought a measure of relief. otherwise such extreme measures would not have been resorted to.
 In China. it is said, when man goes to the native dentist for relief from the toothache, it is the usual procedure for the dentist to insert his finger in the patients mouth. and on removing it, show him a worm which he says he has withdrawn from the tooth, and which was caus- ing the ache This procedure. so We are told. usually stops the ache
 These primitive methods are a far cry from the scientific attitude of the profession today, yet most of the
 improvement has been brought about in the last 100 years
 The causes of this rapid devel- opment have been many. the rapid growth of knowledge in other lines of  work. the formation of dental col lcges. the invention and manufacture of useful instruments. and the scien- tific study of the mouth and it's dis eases.
 There is one other thing which has brought about this marvellous growth which is perhaps more important than all the other causes combined. and that is the professional spirit. or dental ethics. as it is sometimes called

In time this custom was changed, and then the profession began to progress by leaps and bounds.

The two combine to make a most at tractive frock and one that involves very little labor in the making. Small women as we'll as young girls will
 find the design an excellent one, for it can be treated in many ways and made from many materials. Stripes are exceedingly fashionable.

KLAMATH PROJECT WILL
BE FINISHED, SAYS BALIINGER

During a conference with Represen-
tative Hawley of Oregon, and Frank
Ira White, representing the Klam-
ath chamber of commerce, Secretary
Ballinger yesterday stated unequivo-
cally that the government would pro-
ceed with the construction of the
Klamath irrigation project and carry
1t to completion with the probable ex-
ception Of the marsh lands, which ac-
cording to present plans will not be re-
claimed by the government, says a
special from Washington to a Port
land paper.
Secretary Ballinger explained that
the apportionment of reclamation
fund as recommended by the army
board Of engineers, cannot stand, but
that the funds must be used as need
ed, and he was positive in the asser-
ton that there would be ample money
to carry ahead work on the klamath
project until completed.
1t Is even possible that the govern
ment may build the upland unit of the
project, which was abandoned a year
ago, provided the land owners are
| willing to sign up and agree to repay
the full cost of bringing water to
their lands. To determine more ac-
curately what the cost an acre or this
unit will be, instructions have been
issued to have the detailed surveys
| rushed, and when they are completed
the reclamation service will reopen
negotiations with settlers on the up
lands.

| tary Balllnger's assurances were az
