Wooden Leg Tree.

When a soldier has a leg or an arm
shot away in battle, the loss Is likely
to be compensated for by an artificial
limb made from a weird-looktng tree
that grows in large numbers On the
desert Of California.
The wood of the yucca. or Joshua
tree. as It Is sometimes called, Is ad-
mirably adapted for the purpose. 1t
is very light and tough and can be
easily shaped. On this latter account
It is also widely used for making sur
geons' splints.
The yucca tree grows without any
water except the spring rains that
come to the desert, and attains q
height Of from Is to 20 feet

An Old Legend That Reveals That the
True Source Of Beauty 10
In the Heart.

There is an old legend concerning
three young women. who disputed as
to who had the most beautiful hands.
One dipped her hands into the pure
running stream. another picked berries
until her fingers were pink. third
gathered roses until her hands were
made sweet by their fragrance. An
aged woman, careworn and decrepit,
leaning upon her stnff, came. asking a
gift. but all alike refused her. A
fourth young woman, making no
claims to beauty. mtnistered to her
needs. The aged woman then said:
ut Is not the hand that is dipped in
the brook. nor the hand made red with
berries. nor the hand garlanded or per-
fumed with roses. that ia most beau
tiful. but the hand that giveth to the
poor" AS she thus spoke. her mask
fell off. her staff was cast aside. her
wrinkles vanished, and she stood be-
fore them. an angel Of God. It
matters not whether the hand gives

believed that there will he many on

The Eastern Fruit Growers Asso-
citation Is one OF the most important
bodies of orchardists and dealers in
he east, and has grown in influence
until it occupies 2 commanding po-
sition among fruit men Of this Sec
ton The organization was formed
about eight or nine years ago by the
late Postmaster Alex .Cloha1 who
was for many years president of the
state and county horticultural socie-
ties; John wv Stewart one of the
big growers and operators Of this
section; and Nat r. Frame, at that
time engaged in agricultural
and horticultural work in this
county, and who is now the state ag-
ricultural agent. The association
was organized at the Raleigh hotel,
in Washington. and was primarily for
the purpose of securing better traf-
Hc conditions from the railroads in
Pennsylvania, Maryland and the two
virginias, and to wipe out the dis
elimination in favor of fruit growers
in New York and the northeast. AT
ter years of effort and the expendi-
lure Of considerable money for ex.
penses, the association finally gained
the major portion of its objects. and
during that period it came into such
prominence and influence that its
membership largely increased and its
fame spread to all sections.
The meetings are devoted to a con-
,sideration of fruit business generally.
and are always of interest and value
to the members and others who at.
tend, The coming session here is
expected to be one of the most i'm
portant in the history of the organi-
cation.
1t is expected that the visitors will
be entertained on the first night of
the meeting with a fine banquet, this
suggestion having already been made
by local growers.

RELIEF TO GOLD MINING

The United States government has taken cognizance' of the gold short age and will study gold production and devise means of stimulating it.
 Gold producers and bankers in western states are much concerned over the gold situation. In recent con- ferences they have urged upon the government some incentive for speed ing up production. Gold never was in such worldwide and desperate need as now and production actually is declining.
 The decline in the United States for the current calendar year is estimdt- ed at $11 100000.
 Next to food, gold is the greatest essential of the age. A bonus on gold production has been recommended by various groups of bankers, but ap- parently has not found favor in high places.
 A committee of experts has been named to thoroughly investigate diff culties confronting gold production. Its investigations and recommenda- tions will be awaited with particular interest in the entire west.
