Food From Trees.

From the Chicago Journal
The amount of human food supplied bE
open range and pasture is decreasing.
The amount supplied by grain fields IS IN
creasing though slowly. The amount
supplied by different sorts of trees ls
doubling every few years. Vast areas OF
semi tropical land are being planted 4"
oranges. Irrigated regions OF the west
are dotted with peach, pear and apple or
chards, and the old orchard industry OF
the east is revIing. Grapefruit has
ceased to be luxury. The nut belt
has been moved several degrees to the
north. and apparently an era of nut piani r
ing is beginning which viii rival the
planting OF apples and oranges.
Will this increase of tree foods continue,
till orchards OF some sort become ~"
mainstay of our food supply. instead or

EURCPES FROZEN PLAYGROUND
Season Lasts Into Midsummer With
Ski-Jumping on a Glacier.
From the London Times


Norway has already had two months of
skiing, tobogganing, and skating, for
winter set in in the last days of October.
and by the I'd or 4th of November the
snow was in perfccc condition not only in
the mountain regions of the interior. but
throughout the Nordmarken district above
Christiania The usual winter crowds
have been pouring out nightly from the
ca apital to Holmenkollen, Noksenkollen
and Frognesaeter. all of which are, as
your special correspondent said in his LEI:

famous Corkscrew tobogean track has
been busy every evening since the first

directions are full of ski-runners At
Besserud lake moreover, arrangements
are this year being made to cater for
those winter visitors who ask for other
sports than the great Norwegian staples
of tObogganing and skiing. The lake is
almost at the door of the Holmenkollen
Tourist Hotel. and il is from it that the
annual long distance ski-raceS start. and
on its shores rises the famous jump at
which the Norwegian Derby, the inter-

surface of the lake has not heretofore

Genteel Ignorance.
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.

There are some things genteel persons
are not supposed to know. at least are
not supposed to talk about. 1t is curious
how one OF the chief airs OF superiority
is an air OF ignorance. shrewdly shown.
All young ladies are presumed to be
entirely ignorant Of sex matters. Though
this is a subject Of life and death with
them, and means the health OF body and
mind as well as the quality Of their inn
mortal souls, we still cling to the notion
that a young woman is pure in pro
portion as she Is ignorant.
To be real aristocratic' you must know
nothing and care less about business.
That is for 'tradesmen" to attend to.
All your relations to money are TO be
managed by coarser hands than your
own; your lawyer sees to your invest
ments, your servants run the house, you
are to he above all such things
Il cannot understand" said an Eng
1ish lady, how people can allow them
selves to fall into financial embarrass-
ments. l myself have a simple rule. 1T
is never to allow my bank balance to
get below five thousand pounds. II peo-
Pile would only see to that they would
have no trouble;' There you are. All
YOU have to do is to keep your bank
balance up to $25 900. Curious that We
never thought of that!
I have seen other forms of deliberate
ignorance paraded as virtue. In
France, for instance, 1t is not considered
good form, even in these days of free
thought, to admit the existence of Prot
estantism. When you speak of religion
at all you are assumed to mean Roman
Catholicism. Anything else is atheism.
Professionalism is considered to be a sort
of English thing. 1t is never seriously
discussed.
In Italy certain part of the aristoc-
racy declines to admit that there is such
a thing as the present government: 1t
is only a temporary affair. The Pope
will soon resume his political control of
the country. it is of no use to present
facts, in anywise to argue with these
people. 1t is not good form to think diff
ferentIy from what they think. Repub-
licanism is not to be combated even; il
is to be ignored.
There are persons who regard all rad
ical thinkers ass curious wild animals.
They exist, doubtless, but one is not sup
posed to be aware of it,.
There may be labor unions. political
bosses and slums. but one is not to know
such people.
There are fallen women in the streets.
there are lives dragged out in prisons,
there are hungry, wild-eyed desperate
men and women in our very city. but
toward all such it is the thing to af-
feet entire Ignorance.
There are some sects which totally iS-
more the existence of. other sects. They
speak of themselves as belonging to The
Church. They do not condemn other re-
ligious bodies; they ignore them.
Nothing is so refined and uppty as d
genteel ignorance.

The Useless Things.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
There is a type of mind that seems

preciate and admire. Undoubtedly old
