IdoIatry as IL ID

After months spent in idolatrous lands
I have been unable to see much real
worship In heather shrines. The edu-
Gated worship with their tongues In
their cheeks and the ignorant with
their hearts in their mouths. But the
amount Of real worship that exists In
heather temples Is very small.
Sometimes a bereaved mother will
enter the temple and draw from her
kimono the tiny bib Of departed little
one and tie it to the statue Of Jizo, the
god Of motherhood. Sometimes an old
man or woman almost blind will enter
the temple and rub the eyes 0 wood

hope that eternal darkness may not
close in on his affrghted soul. In some
places Buddhist services are as digni-

than some ceremonials In our cruci-

How a Bullet Falls.

In order to solve the problem a spe-

that an infantry bullet shot upward In

propelling force ceases to act at the
elimination point, but the twist has as

After the hero Of seventeen looks at
the heroine Of fifteen she is different
person. Before he looks at her she
likes the fine brick houses in the neigh
borhood. IN fact, she sees many ele-
CANT houses In town that she thinks
would make ideal homes. Unlike her
mother, she even likes the house in
which the family lives. But after the
hero looks at her you couldn't give her
big brick house. To her such places
look cold, and she hardly would take
one Of them as gift. But she just
worships every little four and five room
cottage she sees. They look SO cute
and neat and dear and sweet and cozy
and snug. Oh, If she could just have
house like that and hero like him

TRAGEDY Of BEING Dull.

In the Woman's Home Companion
Arnold Bennett describes the tragedy
Of being dull:
1.-The man lacking imagination is the
utterly matter Of fact man. He Is nec-
essarily the man who never has and
cannot have any point Of view except
his own He is the Wordsworthian
man to whom primrose by the rivers
brim was strictly yellow primrose
instead Of being a miracle. He Is i'm
prisoned in what to him is the actual,
and he is always the exact center OF
the prison, which is Of thickest iron.
His tragedy is that he does not sus.
pect and Is incapable Of suspecting
that he Is In prison at all and that the
prison walls and floor and roof entirely
prevent him from really getting at
any other human being whatsoever.
He is always in his own place. This
is the deep meaning Of dullness, and
this Is the dull mans doom"

Each year the fruit growers suffer
more or less loss of fruit from various
causes. Chief among these are surplus
crops, poor condition Of fruit or market
and lack of good local market. No rec
ords are available to show this total loss
for any one state or group Of states, but
il must amount to many hundreds OF
thousands of dollars.
One state alone in the New England
group is credited with producing each
wear ,250, 900 bushels Of cider apples
which are valued at 12c per bushel.
Our small fruit growers are heavy los
ers especially in years like the past sea
sop. In some localities hundreds OF
crates of raspberries were condemned
and dumped. Other hundreds of crates
sold for less than picking expenses
Contrast the condition of these growers
with the New England pioneer who
never allows any fruit from his 10 acre
fruit farm to waste nor to sell at price
too low to pay q profit. The difference
is due to the methods OF handling THESE
perishable small fruits. One set oi
growers was at the mercy OF the market
and lost heavily. The other was equip
ned for manufacturing and sold every
thing at profit. -. -,
what has been said of small fruits will
apply to plums, peaches and grapes
However the greatest loss to New Eng
land fruit growers is,from the Gull and
cider grades Of apples. Statistics show
a crop for the whole group OF states ol
approximately 8 1-2 million busneis
These are disposed of as follows: Cider
mills handle large quantities at an aver
age price of 12c per bushel. Some IL
fed to live stock, but since their value
for feed is so low this is not economical
Large amounts are allowed to waste.
II costs the good grower as much &c
grow culls as 1t does better grades, hence
this large crop of poor grade apples rep
ressnts q tremendous loss.
The apple lends itself admirably tt
manufacturing. The many products
which it will produce are standard foodt
an most markets and New England
should find ways to conserve all hel
cheap fruits through some one or more
OF these products.

Bees and Fruit


An agricultural society Of Florence,
Italy. has recently carried out thor
Ough investigation Of the alleged In.
jury Of fruit by bees and has COM
pletely eXonerated the latter. Bees are
unable to perforate the skin Of the
fruit, and it is only incidentally that
they suck the juices Of fruits injured
by other natural causes. The damage
sometimes attributed to these insects
is due to poultry, wild birds, wind and
hail, and even more frequently to hor-
nets, wasps, vine moths and other In
sects. Instead Of being harmful to
orchards and vineyards, bees perform
the useful service Of effecting the
cross pollination Of flowers, and hence
the setting Of fruit as well as the de-
struction Of damaged fruits especially
grapesy by sucking the juice and pulp
and thus preventing fermentation and
rot extending to sound individuals.
The orchards and vineyards freQuented
by bees give the most constant crops

is now the site Of Paradise park. It
Is at the crossing Of Worth, Baxter

Dead Rabbits had their headquarters
and fought the Bowery Boys. The
Seventh regiment was called out July
3, 1867, to quell a riot here. The Five
