Annie Tree Holds Record.

An apple tree growing in the Walla
Walla Valley, Washington, holds the
fruit-yield record 1t produced nearly
200 bushels of apples last season, thus
breaking its own record Of 1861 boxes
in 1907, the highest production. we
are assured, from a single tree known
anywhere in the world. This tree bore
70 boxes in 1906, AZ boxes in 1908 and
45 boxes in 1909. More than 500 bar
rels Of fruit have been picked from
1t since 1t came into bearing in the
spring of 1871.
The tree was grown without irri-
cation from Seeding planted in 1866.
1t Is forty-two feet in height and its
branches spread fifty-seven feet from
tip to tip. The trunk Is seven feet In
circumference at the base and meas
ures six feet six inches just below the
first limb, which is four feet from the
ground and measures four feet seven
inches. The tree Is sound and healthy
despite the fact that 1t has produced
fruit every season for nearly forty
years.-New York Press.

Why He Was Popular.

The man with a natural aptitude
for mechanics received 80 many invi-
tations to take automobile trips with
friends who acted as their own chauf-
feur that he came to be envied by his
less popular acquaintances. One day
the popular guest condescended to en-
tighten them on his true status.
"You fellows needn't get green
eyed" he said. 'T haven't got such a
snap as you think have. What they
want me to go along for is to blow up
the tires and make repairs in case of
accident. / wouldn't be such a hot
favorite II wasn't 30 proficient in
that line. The knowledge that I
wouldn't Is somewhat calling, but as
enjoy the trips l swallow my pride
and accept the invitations"

GREAT IS THE BUCKWHEAT!

Says Rhapsodist.

but q poor showing in our annual

els, perhaps. AS a grain 1t figures
insignificantly. outside of New York
and Pennsylvania. But 1t is to be
noted that the honey bee is aware Of
it's peculiar virtue. preferring alone
the white clover to the buckwheat
blossoms. Farmers who keep bee
hives know this and plant patches Of
the grain.
Wise as the bee is the man who
awaits the honey from the hive, the
flour from the buckwheat; then fol.
lows the griddle cake.
Its time is at hand. It goes with
sausage or Philadelphia scrapple.
There are such distinct American
products that one reads with keen
sympathy in the latest life Of the ex-
patriated genius, Whistler, how he
was 80 devoted to buckwheat cakes
that "he insisted almost at the price
Of. friendship that others share his
enthusiasm" How could others be
expected to do 80 born outside the
buckwheat belt? Wretched, homesick
artist.
Other countries are blessed with
special foods, from the caviare of
Russia to the macaroni of Italy, but
they are beyond the pale, pitiably
ignorant Of what they miss and of
what we are about to enjoy. In Amer.
lea there is nothing sectional about
the buckwheat cake; 1t springeth up
as lowly flower. and, in the common
taste for 1t. 10 to be likened only to
the unpretentious pumpkin pie.-Phila.

self. he published record of his years
OF insanity and of his awakening from
mental death. Our scientific atti-
tude toward diseases of the mind is
truly amazing. We consider them as
something unavoidable. We watch
stupidly the disease running its
course from slight disturbance of
mental processes until the first vio-
lent manifestations of insanity.
If man presents the slightest
symptoms Of pneumonia or even
measles he receives immediate treat
ment Of some kind. On the other
hand, patient who Is suffering from
disease Of the mind, the most threat
ening calamity of life. must be SO far
advanced in the disease and so dis
ordered in action or in speech as to
satisfy a lay tribunal of the necessity
Of justification of the forcible depriva-
tion Of his liberty, must be told that
he is insane, must be 'adjudged in
sane and committed by court to an
institution for the insane before he
can receive the treatment best adapt
ed to the restoration Of his health.
"The public should be convinced
that insanity is disease like any
other disease; people must be taught
to seek intelligent advice promptly
whenever something seems to be the
matter with their nerves., instead Of
concealing their fears for mere shame.
Had l, for instance, at the age of
eighteen, when l began to worry my
self into state of depression, had
access to advice and information, and
had /, as a result of an established
and widespread interest In mental
hygiene, sought such advice as a mat
ter of course, as persons threatened
with tuberculosis now seek the help
and advice they need, l am confident
that I should not have suffered the
affliction Of mental disorder. Though
l took medicine for nerves. I did not
find the remedy l needed, which was
a verbal corrective for thought and
fears which were to prove my tenn
porary undoing.
1T may take some time before
sick man is no more ashamed of call
ing on a physician for incipient insan-
ity than for cold in his head. but
let us hope that time will arrive even
tually. A campaign of education is
sorely needed to dispel the supersti-
tions still prevalent in the public
mind as to the cause of insanity"
