Good Reading for Sunday


What's the use to worry,
You've not got long 10 stay
WHY not take things easy
As you pass along Life's way?
twill do no good to worry
II things are going wrong;
You may as well be pleasant
Meet reverses with a song.
What's the use to criticise,
What's the use to knock;
what's the use to ridicule,
Or at some to throw a rock?
Don't appoint yourself a censor,
No matter what you do
This great big world was never made
For just a chosen few.
There's none OF us that's perfect,
There's few of is that stay
And never stray or wander
From the straight and narrow
way.
Go when you start to hammer
Some poor fool who's gone astray.
Twill do no harm TO pause and
think
You may lose your grip some day.
What's the use to kick one
Who's just about to fall.
If you do not care to help him.
Don't mention him at all.
You'll find. If you take notice;
That what | say is true;
While there may be faults in others
There's a flaw or two in you.

meeting 81 the Dublin corporation,
July slid that be did not believe the
false suppression which was read in
this regard The account OF the
meeting is as follows
AT the meeting Of the Dublin cor
poration, July 5, Councillor Donaghty
proposed vote of coincidence with
the relatives Of the late oDonoyan
Rdssa
opoancilor John r. Kelly, second,
and Said their were many members
who did not possibly agree with the
views cd the late ODonovan Rossa.
He himself was always q believer in
his principles AMI would like to see
the whole country believe in them as
we'll
alderman Farrell said the views
held by ODonoyan Rosa would not
be practical two years ago, but a man
who was prepared not only to fight
for his country and to do worse, to
suffer the greatest possible ignominy
in order that his country might live,
should be honored in every section
of the community. no matter how ac-
utely they differed form his opinions.
IN this matter they should take a
lesson from England, who bitterly
fought her enemies, and when the
fight was over she honored her oppon-
ents. Every Irishman should unite
in honoring the name of Of O'Donov-
an Rossa,wh was prepared 10 freely
offer up his life in defense OF the lib
erty of his country.
Councillor DAILY supported the mo-
ton, and pointed out that in Dublin
evening paper the other day, paper
supposed to be nationalist, he saw
where in dealing with O'Donoyan Ros
sass life, the Rosa WAS omitted. He
read at the same time suggestion
that he had forsaken the principle he
held.
when they remembered that for
two years O'Donovan Rosa was on
his death bed and that for the last
~ months he had suffered from hal
lucinations, and was in the habit OF
getting under his bed believing that
the gaolers of the English prisons
were still pursuing him, it was hardly
likely he abandoned the hopes and
principles he held. He died as he liy-

season becomes very dry as it pro-
crosses. Thus the grower should aim
to control the size of the individual
fruits by thinning and by tillage and
pruning.
1t is sometimes argued that the ex-
pense of thinning makes it prohibitive.
But this is fallacious. While it may
cost a relatively large amount per
tree, 1t is the experience of the best
growers that, as rule, actually more
high grade fruit is produced on tree
which bears only a moderate crop
than on one which Is heavily over
loaded, and the average fruit on the
tree with moderate crop is of better
grade than the best fruit on an over
loaded tree.
Another factor Is commonly over
looked when the cost of thinning is
considered. The operation should be
done after the "June drop"-which
usually occurs from month to six
weeks after the poisoning period,
when the imperfectly fortified and
other weakly developed embryo fruits
drop off-and before the pits begin to
harden. After the June drop" is over
there is but very little dropping of
the peaches. Hence, practically all Of
the fruit which remains then will be
on the trees at harvest time. 1t will
have to be picked then, anyway. 1t is
fair assumption that 1t will cost no
more and probably considerably less
to pick portion Of the crop in June
or July and drop the fruit ON the
ground than it will to pick it later and
put 1t in a basket, where much of it
will have to be handled over several
times in grading and packing and then
finally large quantities discarded as
culls because the fruits are so small.
Moreover, the fruit on an overloaded
tree will sometimes ripen less uni
| formly than on tree that has a mod
crate crop.
1t has already been stated that the
development of the pits is. an exhaus-
tive process. Therefore. the limiting
of the number of fruits tends to con,
serve the vitality of the tree. A large
portion of the flesh of the peach is
water: hence, II the soil is well sup
piled with moisture the development
Of the edible portion Of the fruit makes
a relatively light demand on the
strength of the tree.

agriculture, Washington. will send in
terested fruit growers, free of charge,

tail much information on the pruning
of trees. renewal Of tops, thinning, in

RELICS or DEPARTED AGE
Napkin Rings Condemned as Being
Things Of Which the World Has
Long Been Tired.

II is understood that the National
American Woman Suffrage association
takes just pride in the opportunity 1t
has afforded to its members to dispose
of their superfiuous napkin rings,
which is to say all the napkin rings
they possess. The whole melting-pot
plan fires the imagination.
But for the napkin rings. They are
relics OF departed age, reminders OF
the era of the Saturday night bath. the
old folks concert and the painted
panoramas of the Nile. They abide
now In out-of-the-way corners, tar
nished and forgotten, bands of old sill
yer, often affectionately inscribed at
the command of givers long since
turned to dust. They are the sort of
reminders of gentler but less fastidi-
GUS generation that we do not like to
part with except for some good reason
and have no desire to keep. The
serial napkin went long ago. To the
melting pot, by all means, with the
rings, and that they may melt up into
millions of dollars worth of silver Is
our sincere wish.-New York Times.

RELATIONS OF GOD AND MAN
Gradual REIMBURSEMENT Means Con-
tinual Advance Toward the
Higher Life.

In studying the Bible it becomes In
creasingly apparent that the relations
between God and man are not con-
slant or fixed, but are subject to a
gradual readjustment. In the earlier
chapters the ideal held out is for man
to fear God. Later he learns to
trust, to limited extent, this higher
life. Eventually this grudging faith
is turned to love, which recognizes God
as the father. constantly giving him.
self. as life and wisdom, to his chill
dren And beyond this comes that
truition of growth which constitutes
real unity; man is merged with God.
and comes to realize that II and the
Father are one"
God never changes, but our under
standing OF him does change. And
II is the evolution of this ideal which
we have OF the great sea of life In
which we live, and which lives in
and through us, which constitutes real
growth and advancement. Life is for
that; the everyday tasks tend toward
the bringing forth Of self-conscious-
ness, which is always a fuller consci-

the breeds of poultry have improved
to such an extent that better houses
are recognized as being necessary.
This poultry house, although not
very large, is built with good solid
concrete foundation that reaches down
below frost. The floor also is of con-
crete.
Some poultrymen prefer building
floor of lime. Ordinary burned lime
is spread over the ground several
inches deep and pounded down and
made level. Water Is then thrown
on the lime in just sufficient quanti-
ties to cause 1t to slack properly.
Enough water is used to slack the lime

this condition until 1t dries and hard

which goes to manufacture bone and

There are poultrymen who insist

Any kind of hard floor should be
kept covered with straw, for the rea-
son that chickens cannot stand COM

close the toes when the chicken sits

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
In the minds of some peach grow
ers, to teach the thinning of the fruit
is to teach heresy. The thing most
desired by them is the biggest peach
crop possible. Then the heavier the
"set" of fruit the better, and the last
consideration is to pick off any of it
until it is picked for market. This is
their philosophy.
The matter of thinning the fruit on
heavily loaded peach trees should re-
quire no special argument to estab-
fish the wisdom of the practice, but
the reasons for thinning may be brief
ly set forth in the present connection.
The fact is widely recognized that
most varieties of peaches, as we'll as
other fruits, for that matter. under ia
vorable conditions often set much
more fruit than the tree can possibly
develop to a good degree of perfec-
ton for commercial purposes. The in
herent natural purpose Of the tree is
to perpetuate its kind. To this end,
left to itself, its tendency is to develop
the largest possible number of seeds,
with each seed possessing the poten-
tial possibility of new tree.
The growers aim is for the tree to
produce the largest possible amount
of fruit that can attain the highest
commercial standard. The inherent
effort of the tree and the object de.
sired by the grower impose, or at least
tend to impose. incompatible require
ments. The development of great
number of seeds is a tree-exhausting
process. This is opposed to the de.
velopment of large fruit. To meet his
ends in this respect the grower has
recourse to thinning the fruit.
There is perhaps no operation in the
production of peaches which requires
keener judgment in order to reap Its
full benefits than does thinning the
fruit. However, no fixed rules for II
can be given. II is commonly advised
to thin SO that the fruits will not be
nearer together than four to ST,
inches. This direction is quite gen
orally applicable. yet it may have sew
eral important notifications under diff
ferent conditions. The strength o
the tree. the fertility of the soil. ant
especially the soil moisture are all CO
ordinate factors governing this op
Grafton. These factors, together with
the size Of the crop, or, in other words
the number OF fruits allowed to de
velop on the tree, govern very largely
the size and perfection of the indi
vidual fruits. except as fungous dis
eases and insects may affect them.
Obviously. vigorous tree growing
under favorable conditions as to mois
ture, plant food, ETC.. can develop q
larger number OF fruits to good size
than can weak tree, or even the
same tree when there is a marked de.
ficiency either in the supply OF mois
ture or of plant food.
The skill of the grower is shown in
his ability to adjust the size of the
crop on his trees to the varying sea.
sonal conditions. While he is power.
less, of course. to add more fruit, 1t Is
quite within his power to reduce the
number of fruits on the trees II the
