Daniel Kottke in 1860. They came to

that time they decided to come to
North Dakota and they settled on a

they have since resided. Being among

Low Salaries In Greece.

No doubt Greek officers, who are
very badly paid as compared with the
English standard, console themselves
with the knowledge that they are
probably as well Off in the army as
they would be in any other profession.
for salaries in Greece are all ridicu-
lousy low as gagged by those in Great
Britain. The highest judges, for ex-
ample, do not get much more than 1900
a year, while many Of their less eXalt-

on about half that sum, with the pros
pect of a full pension after thirty-tive
years service.-LOndon Chronicle.

Your Own Fla Tree.

1t may interest you. says the New
York Sun, to know that figs can be
grown in pots or in the open ground in
regions where there are three months
of warm weather. The fig Is less like
the apple and the peach, which ripen
all their fruit at once, than like the
raspberry and the blackberry, which
ripen their fruits continuously through
the bearing season. Figs continue to
ripen fruit until checked by cold
weather.
For pot culture the fig requires about
the same treatment as rubber plant.
and If it gets plenty Of water the fruit
will ripen. Vigorous plants will have
fruit in all stages of growth. from the
smallest green fruit to the ripe figs
ready to be picked and eaten.
