Stand Up for Friends

Stand up for your friends. There
are some people who always seem
ready to listen when their friends are
criticized, and even If they do not
join in the criticism, their silence
seems to give consent. We are not
foolish enough to expect perfection
from our friends, but there is some
thing wrong If we listen tolerantly to
discussion of their faults.-Girls'

REPORT STATE
 PEACH CROP IS
 90 p. c. RUINED

Cold weather has ruined 90 per the coming season, according to a statement yesterday of Leonard H. Healey, secretary of the state board reported that frost has killed virtually entire crops. MT. Healey said he thought a small percentage of the usual crop might be harvested.
 Former Senator Elijah Rogers, who has a large fruit farm near Southing- ton, reported heavy damages, and doubted if his harvest would total an appreciable quantity. Stancliffe Hale of Glastonbury, one of the state s largest peach growers, said he would be more thoroughly informed as to the condition of his own prospective crop within a week. According to Secretary HeaIey, L. c. Root of Far Enington, another large grower, re- ports heavy damage to trees by recent cold weather.
 MT. Hale said he had been told that the heaviest damage occurred along the shore, where entire crops in the formative stages have been ruined. The state board of agriculture, how ever, reports practically the same condition in all sections of the state. we haven't failed this way three times in the last twenty-five years" said MT. Rogers.
 ''My crop was practically gone in December" said MT. Root. 'sThe thermometer registered degrees be- low zero in the orchard"
 A bulletin issued by the Connecti- cut Agricultural College at Storrs contains the following announcement:
 '"There will be no peaches grown in Connecticut this next season Ap- pies and pears will be in demand" ," Both growers and officials of the de- partment of agriculture question the literal accuracy of this statement, ex- blaming that a small percentage of the crop will be harvested.
 During the past season, however, a noticeable shortage of local peaches was felt by commission merchants and other dealers in the city. The crop was unusually light, and at the end of a few weeks local markets were filled with peaches from Della ware, New Jersey, the South and Cal ifornia

THIRSTY PEOPLE FIND CASES IN
 N. Y. TAXICABS

Strange vessels these days are cruising here and there among the huge fleets that skim over the Big City's popular throughfares continu- ously, according to the dark report of those who say they have been GUS toners. Stocked with high-proof an tidotes for snakebite, the old familiar brands of first-aid in case of flu or chill, of nepenthe and balm of Gil- cad bottled in bond, these craft weave in and out in the stream of common traffic, and double back again, bound for no particular port and held to no earthly schedule.
 Now and again one of these strange craft detaches itself from the main streams of traffic, and, as it rides at some obscure anchorage, it's passen- ger, or passengers lurch out and roll away into the dry city, their faces, lit with beatfic sanctification. The pilot, skipper, genie Of this blind pig on wheels cranks his craft, con- jures new essences, and, taking an other fare, puts back into the heavy traffic currents, while the traveller within, presumably, gurgles and gurgles.
 It is said that the passage-money required by one of these craft tran scends weak irnaginations. It is also said there is no want of the stuff that many famous surgeons want brought back again, and that there is never a want of passengers.

AMERICA GETS HARD TRAINING"
 FROM DUTCHMIAN

Amsterdam, Feb. 23.-An unf1atter- ing view of America is given in an interview in the Amsterdam Telegram by William Oudegeest, who recently returned from attending the inter- national labor congress at Washing tom
 Among other things, according to The Telegraaf, MT. Oudegeest found that in the United States.
 Politics are at this moment on a level with those of 1S4O in Holland.
 Economically, America has got to the stage of 1880.
 In the light of culture the Ameri- can still lives in the 18th century.
 "One gets the impression the Te1egraaf quotes MT. Oudegeest as saying, '+when he is in America, that he is in the closing days of mo- bility, when the peasants thought their noble lords the only things of importance in this world, but with the difference that the bankers and great business men take the place ot the junkers and barons.

NO DISTINCTION
 OF CLASS MADE
 AMONG CHINESE

Westerners are almost universally convinced that China is a land of classes and castes and of closely drawn social distinctions; yet nothing could be more untrue or unjust. As a mat ter of fact, the word +tcoolie" is not Chinese, and, outside of the narrow coast belt of foreign influence, there is no Chinese word which describes such a. class.
 The poor are f'those who eat bit terness,'' or ''those deserving pity" laborers are described as Iaborers, and have their dignity; farmers rank high in the social scale, and beggars have their individual merits. But no term serves to describe what the European calls the "coolie claSs,' and in Chinese thought it is non-existent In China. no hereditary class survived the wreck o6 the feudal system in the third century, B. C., but the members of the imperial family and the de- cendants of Confucius.
 There is no country in which wealth is so much sought after and so care fully handled as in China, and yet none in which money plays so small a part in. determining a mans social status. There is no country, again, in which ancestors are so much rev.
 erenced as in China, and yet none in which mans forefathers and their achievements have so little influence upon popular esteem. In each gen l eration the individual is judged on his merits, and, apart from moral ex- | cellence, merit in China means schol- | arship.
 The highest title in the land is nc I higher than that of teacher. The 1 son of the barrow coolie who makes
 himself a master of Chinese erudi- | tion may converse and dine with the 1 lordly, though his gown is faded an6 l greasy, and his poverty forces hin ] to tell stories for a livelihood.
