West Indian Witch Doctors.

The West Indian witch doctor is a
delightful fellow in some respects, par
ticularly when you do not come under
his power" There are few things
that he cannot DO, or at least pretend
20 be able 10 do. for he combines In
his person the office Of priest, physi-
clan. and scientist. Some daring ruff
fans add a still more romantic touch,
and lay claim 10 having personal con-
tact with the Evil One himself. Such
fellows are feared because of the in
fluences they are credited with exer-
cising over the powers Of darkness.
For instance, if you have an enemy
and who that lives under q warm
sun has not?-the Obeohman will put
him out OF the way for you, provided
Sou pay him his price. This varies ac-
Eording 10 your financial position and
the status Of the man TO be killed.

Public Fruit Trees.

Fruit trees in place Of shade trees
IN our parks. is the suggestion Of Z
reader. would not apple, pear, cherry
or other fruit trees make a finer dis.
play in the spring" he asks, than the
shade trees commonly used, besides
furnishing fruit later in the season."
Formerly" he adds, "there were pIen.
" OF apples on the market; now only
a few are TO be had. These are Sc
high in price that only the rich man
can afford them; similar conditions
exist IN regard to other fruit" The
suggestion is worthy of consideration,
and has been carried out in Germany,
we believe. although if We bark back
TO bOyhoOd days, the memory Of the
Zest with which We enjoyed pilfered
fruit may suggest practical difficulties
in the way of the plan for America
