ALWAYS SOMETHING TO DO
Secret OF Sir Walter scott's Marvellous
Literary Achievements Told In
Few Words.

Never to be doing nothing" was the
simple but effective rule that enabled
Sir Walter Scott to get done the enor.
nous amount Of work for which he IL
noted. A passage in Lockhart's life Of
the poet and novelist reads:
'Those who observed him the most
constantly were never able to under
stand how he contrived to keep him.
self 50 thoroughly up with the stream
OF contemporary literature Of almost
all sorts, French and German, as well
as English. That rapid glance might
tell him more than another man could
gather by weeks poring may easily
be guessed; but the grand secret was
his perpetual practice Of his own grand
maxim. never to be doing nothing. He
had no 'unconsidered trifies' of time.
Every moment was turned to account !;
and thus he had leisure for everything
except, indeed, the newspapers,
which consume so many precious hours
nowadays with most men, and Of
which, during the period Of my ac-
quaintance with him, he certainly read
less than any other man I ever knew
that had any habit Of reading at all.
I should also except, speaking general
iy, the reviews and magazines Of the
time. OF these he saw few, end Of the
Few he read little"

FIRST OF SEEDLEsS ORANGES
Fruit That Is Now So Much PrIzed
Was Brought to This Country
From Brazil.

In 1872 United States consul to
Bahia (BraziL, w. F. Judson, was told
by the natives that go miles inland, up
the Amazon, were native orange trees
bearing fruit without seeds. Accord
ingly he sent natives after tree shoots
and some of the fruit.
The shoots were packed In moss
and clay and sent to Washington.
They were set out by the agricultural
department, but attracted little atten-
ton until tht next year, when Horatio
Tibbetts of Riverside, Cal, took the
surviving four shoots to his home and
planted them. One died and another
was eaten up by COW. At the end Of
five years the two surviving trees bore
16 handsome seedless oranges. Next
year the oranges were even better, and
the trees bore about box of the fruit.
From that time on the cultivation Of
the seedless oranges about Riverside
progressed rapidly. AS there were no
seeds to raise the trees from 1t was
found necessary to graft buds of the
seedless trees into Seeding trees.
Riverside has grown from a small
village to a town of 1900 acres de-
voted to the cultivation of navel or-l
anges. 1t is the greatest orange pro-
ducing locality in the world. The two
original trees were fenced about and
carefully guarded lest harm should
come to them, and they are now en-
joying green old age.

4 SLICK ONE.

For some time Nogales police have
been looking for arrival of a pair
or confidence operators, man and
woman travelling 40 husband and
wife, whose peculiar plan is to palm
off spurious checks upon fictitious
banks, hotels being their chief vic
Tins.
They had circular letter from "a
chief Of police advising that the eou-
pie were working the country in that
way, under a different name in each
place. Fac sirnile specimens of their
registration at hotels were included
in the letter.
Yesterday evening there appeared
on the register Of the National the
registration Of Geo. II. Fimler and
wife, In the same style Of chirogra-
ply az the specimens. An officer
was sent to the hotel to make ar
rests. AS soon as he appeared the
man skipped out the back door into
Nelson Avenue and ran across the
line. The woman was arrested and
lodged in jail.

Varying Movements Of Leaves.

Different species of trees move
their leaves very differently, so that
one may sometimes tell by the mo-
ton Of shadows on the ground, II he
be too indolent to look up, under what
kind Of tree he is sitting. On the
taiip-tree (which has the finest name
that ever tree had, making the very
prOnouneing of its name almost like
the utterance Of strain Of music
Lirldodendr0n tulipfera), on the tulip
tree, the aspen, and on all native pop
lars. the leaves have an intense indi-
vidualism. Each one moves to suit
itself. Under the same wind one Is
trilltng Hp and down, another is whirl-
ing, another slowly vibrating right
and left, and others still, quieting
themselves to sleep, as a mother gently
pats her slumbering child; and each
one intent upon a motion Of It's own.
Sometimes other trees have single
frfsky leaves, but usually the oaks, ma
pies. besches. have community of mo-
ton. They are all acting together, or
are all alike stlll.-Henry Ward

The bishop Of Verdun.

ct. vanne, or vltonius. died Novem-
Der 8. 1925. A celebrated congrega-
ton Of reformed Benedictines in Lor-

patron. and from the famous abbey
and that Of Moyen-Moustier, dedicated
in honor Of st. Hydulphus, bears the
name OF st. Vanne and st. Hydulphus.
Many in France desired to accede to
the reform, but on account Of the wars
than existing, union was thought too
difficult. A reform under the same
plan was set on foot in France, under
the name Of the Congregation of st.
Maur, and began In the abbey Of st.
Austin In Limoges In 1913, and con-
Hrmed BY Gregory XIV, In 1927, which

HANGED FOR BURNING COAL
There Was Time When Job Of Look.
ing After Production Would
Have Been elneeure.

The pTesent-day restrictions with re-
gard to the use Of coal would have
seemed very mild to our ancestors, re-
marks q writer In London Tit-Bits.
There IL no doubt that the use Of what
used to be called "sea coal'' to dlstin-
guish 1t from charcoal had its draw
backs.
Many look forward to the tine when
there will be no more smoky shimneys
In Britain. when the atmosphere Of
London will be as clean az 1t must
have been in the days Of Good Queen
Bess and when a new building will not
be begrimed with SCOT almost as soon
as it Is built.
In the reign of Edvexd / the inhabi-
tants of London p<<t<ioned the king
against the growing zse Of coal, declar-
ing that It was . public nuisance, cor
rupting the cir with it's stink ond
smoke, to the sssSt detriment of their
health" Wh~eupon the king prohib-
ited its use, offenders to be punished
for q firet eGfense by fine and for
second b have their kilns and fur
Haees destroyed.
The practice Of using coal was at
length made q capital offense and q
man was tried, condemned and hanged
for burning coal In London.
In those days the population Of Eng
land probably did not exceed four or
five million, and wood was plentiful
and cheap from the vast forests that
covered tens OF thousands of square
miles where now are great towns.

Washington, August 29.-President

Among the largest items up to July
/ were included S144,914 for SUBJ
sistence. $1O3, 900 for salaries, $780,
900 for expenses of the commissions

COOPERATIVE LIVESTOCK
SALES. b

All programs for the better time
coming include a fairer deal for the
little fellows. Collective bargaining
and cooperative buying, selling and
shipping are the logical alignment OF
the many small factors IN productlon
against the few large ones, because
d fair deal is better assured when the
narties to the deal are OF nearly
equal power.
In the practical application OF this
principle the farmers of Canada are
making rapid advances, particularly
in the marketing of livestock. More
than seven thousand carloads OF such
stock were marketed in Canada last
wear through such cooperative or
Carnations. and sales this year will
Greatly exceed these figures. In On
fario alone are more than two hum
bred of these associations OF farm
ers. and in Saskatchewan more than
fifty. The cooperative organization
known as the United Grain Growers
also handles much livestock IN this
manner. ].
The work of these associations IS
such that the farmer who has but one
animal to sell, has the benefit OF car
lot rates and the aid Of an agent to
sell his stock in the market. The re-
ports of eleven of these associations
show a net saving this year TO the
farmers of seventy-three cents hum
dred weight.
Making the market safe and profit.
