SOME APPLES

IL. Nicely, the government farm demonstration man, was yesterday exhibiting some ap- ples and apple blossoms which are quite out of the ordinary. The blossoms shown were part of the fourth lot to appear on the tree this year.
 The tree from which the speci- mems were taken has borne two crops of apples this year which have fully matured. A third crop has grown to be about the slze of hickory nuts and at the same time the tree has blossom. ed again, but the advent of cold weather will not permit further progress of the tree. This makes the fourth time the tree has olossomed this year and two crops have fully matured.

REASONS FOR THE
 HOME ORCHARD

The home orchard gives ten. ure to the cultivator of the soil: it makes farm life more perman- ent; it eldears the boys and girls to the home. The pleasure and enjoyment derived from cultivat- ing the orchard are not to be treated. Every member of the family soon learns to rev erence the orchard and often the different trees are known and their bearing qualities fully ap- preciated. When the clouds are low and threatening and the temperature indicative of cold wave in the spring, all are solici- tus for the welfare of the fruit trees.
 It is sacred privilege that the home owner has, and one that the renter craves, to plant an or chard and gather fruit as a re- ward for his labor. No other part of the farm is more respon- sive to good care, no other acre. age gives better promise for la bor, no other work is so cheer fully performed.
 There are few farms where an orcl ard site cannot be found. There are so many choice fruit s of wide adaptation, and so man y varieties of local requirements that a legitimate excuse for not having an orchard is hard to ren- der. Nursery trees are cheap and the labor of setting an or chard not expensive. Why de. prive your family of fruits?- Farm and Ranch.

DON'T EXERCISE OUR TEETH
Reason Americans Have Such Poor Grinders, According to a Dental
 Authority.

The reason Americans have such bad teeth is that they don't exercise them enough, according to Dr. Her bert L. Wheeler, president of the American Dental Hygiene council who is delivering a course of lectures at Columbia university. We Amer jeans are living in the lap of luxury ? said Dr. Wheeler, in his opening lee. ture, land our food Is so well pre- pared for us that we don't use our mouths enough. Regular exercise for the teeth is as beneficial as any other kind of gymnastics"
 He found from an examination oi several hundred savages' teeth that the increased work which their teeth had been made to do had resulted ben officially for their teeth. It was also a fact that the front teeth of savages were more worn than those of civil ized people. being that the savage cuts bis food with his teeth.

If there was one thing Dodo the bulldog disliked it was a tradesman. Wherefore the old milkman was wary, and never ventured in without first tapping on the kitchen window to find out for certain that all was safe.
 But the new milkmar didn't know about Dodo
 When Dodo was eventually de- tached from the f1eshiest part of the new milkman's calf by the master of the house, the victim of the onslaught began to express his mind with con- siderable freedom.

Roman Marriage.

When Rome became the master Btate of the Mediterranean world, and especially during the last century of the republic, woman, aside from a few slight limitations of form rather than of substance, had already ac- quired legal and economic independ- ence, the condition necessary for so- cial and moral equality. As to mar riage. the affianced pair could at that time choose between two different le- gal family regimes; marriage with ma nus. the older form. in which all the goods of the wife passed to the owner ship of the husband, so that she could no longer possess anything in her own name; or marriage without manus. in which only the dover became the prop erty of the husband, and the wife remained mistress of all her other belongings and all that she might ac- quire.
 Except in some cases, and for spec ial reasons, in all the families of the aristocracy, by common consent, mar riages. during the last centuries of the republic. were contracted in the later form; so that at the time mar ried women directly and openly had gained economic independence

VIRGINIA HAS MosT-F FISH
Maryland Claims Largest Number of Professional Fishermen-AIaska's
 Catch Most Valuable.

One out of every 400 persons in the United States is engaged in the task of catching enough fish to satisfy the appetite of the remaining 399. In oth- CT words, there are nearly a quarter of a million men who catch fish not because they like the fun of 1t but because they are paid for it. They catch approximately 1.000.O00,00o pounds of fish a year. and this is worth, all told, upward of S50.000, ,000, or say, two-thirds of the total capital invested in the industry. A cOnsid- erable part of the capital, over $20,- O0O,00O, is tied up in vessels. of which a recent enumeration showed S5,1f5.
 Maryland has by far the largest number of professional fishermen. It's. figures are 42,S12, as against the 29.- 379 of Virginia Maine, with 16,945, and Massachusetts, with 14,S63. follow and then comes Alaska, with 13,106. Other states with more than 10000 are North Carolina, 12,045; New Jer- sey, 12,O3O, and New York, Il ,56O.

HE WROTE THE COX" MINUET
Haydn the Composer, Writes Music for Butcher and Receives Beef
 as Payment.

There Is no sensible reason for the titles attached to many pieces of music, some of them even classical selections. Most generally they are placed there as an attempt of some publisher to boom" his stock and sell his goods. Then, again, some pecu- liar titles may have their origin in incidents about as important as the following:
 Haydn one day received a visit from butcher who said that himself and his daughters were admirers of Haydn's music, and as the young woman was soon to be married, he made hold to ask that the composer write a minuet for her wedding. Kind Papa Haydn" consented and in a few days the man of meat obtained his music. Not long afterward, Hadyn was surprised to hear this same minuet played under his win dow. On looking out he saw a band of musicians forming a ring around a large OK, tastefully decorated with flowers Soon the butcher came up and presented the OK to Haydn. say ing that for such excellent music he thought he ought to make the com poser a present of the best OK in his possession. Ever after this little composition was called the "Ox" min uet.-W. Francis Gates. Anecdotes of Great Musicians.
