Willie eried for a week over the loss of part of his treasure and the Chinaman narrowly escaped a lawsuit. - The strangest thing about this case is the fact that Willie clings to his hair. with a devotion equal to that of Sir Galakad on his quest for the Golden Grail. Perhaps the lad thinks the - Golden Grail is his already, for heé said to a reporter the other day when asked why he dodn’t want his hair cut off like, other poys: - L “My hair is my fortune; and with it T am going to make money to help support my dear mamma.” : The lad’s hair is so heavy and so long that the greater portion is rolled up on top of ais head, while a golden pigtail tied with i invariable blue ribbon hangs down his back. .

-~ BRIGHT LITTLE DOG. He Makes Fast the Llilel, Thrown ' from Steamboats as They Ap- : . proach the Dock. : A certain native of Philadelphia is attracting a good deal of flattering attention among the people of Troy, N. Y. This particular Philadelphian is a \little dog, a cross between a fox terrier and a bulldog, which was originally the property of a Kensington grocer, who gave the animal to a relative ‘of his living in Troy. This relative is employed upon the wharf of the Troy terminus of a line of steamers running from that town to Albany, stopping at Lagoon island. a river resort similar to those in and about this city. .It is this man’s duty, among

‘other things, to catch thelines thrown from the several steamers as they approach the dock to be made fast. He is in a large measure relieved of this duty by his intelligent dog. The little animal is always on hand when a steamer approaches, and when the deck hand tosses out the hawser the dog is sure to catch it in his teeth and hold fast. He never misses: While his master takes hold of the lpop to place it over the piling the dog continues to hold on to make sure that there shall -be no chance of the hawser slipping back into the water. When he is satisfied - that the rope is firmly secured, he makes a dash to the other end of the wharf and repeats the operation with the second rope.—Philadelphia Record. ' .

Parmly Paret, the noted tennis player, contributes an article to St. Nicholas on “Lawn Tennis fer’Schoolboys.”? Mr. Paret says: Golf may be more popular with our older relatives, but for boys and younger men in whom the vigor of youth and the love of excitement have not yet faded, it cannot take the place of lawn tennis. Any sport that offers the coveted excitement, and is without the danger of overdoing the exercise through enthusiasm, deserves popularity, and lawn tennis is particuuarly adapted to young people for this reason. It has proved a wonderful training school for immature organs; for the play develops a keen eye, steady nerves, strong arms, quick judgment, and furnishes plenty of exercise in

great variety, without the severity of physical strain that produces the abnormal lungs of the runner, the hollow chest of the bicyele rider, or the enlarged heart of the oarsman. It is a game, too, that does not call for unusual qualifications in the beginner, and physical capabilities do not argue particularly in his favor. To play the game well—even to become an expert—does not require powerful arms or legs, great height or weight, or even particular speed or agility. Height undoubtedly is an advantage to a good tennis player; but strength is little in his favor, and weight not at all. Tall men and short men, stout men and thin men, strong men and weak men, all have been successful tennis players. I have even known a player with but one arm, one who was badly lame at the hip, and still another who had the use of only one eye, and-yet all played the game well. i .

' TRAINING THE YOUNG. Roadlnstructionlsa Necessity Where Permanent Results Are to Be : Accomplished. . —_— 1t is not to be denied that wheelmen sometimes feel discouraged at the results obtained from ten years of persistent agitation, much thankless labor and considerable expenditiire of money in the cause of highway improvement. At times the efforts that have been put forth seem to have been out of all proportion to what has been accomplished.. The temptation, then, is strong to relinquish the work entirely to those who will be the most immediate and chief beneficiaries of it; but, knowing that the withdrawal of their assistance would be the removal of one of the strongest supports of the cause, they turn again torenew their efforts in its behalf. - There are some things connected with the road problem that are better understood to-day than they were a few years ago, and they have brought to wheelmena redlization that there are many sections of the countiry in which it is well-nigh impossible to interest or instruct the people on the subject,.and where it'may take a generation or two to convince them that bad roads cost money whilz good ‘roads save it. Therefore, while in no

degree abating their own interest in highway improvement, cyclists find it for their own interestin such districts to secure the construction of cycle side paths. Such paths are directly beneficial to all eoncerned, for the wheelman gets a good rcadway and the opposition are afforded food for thought in the constant spectacle of the easy, rapid locomotion of vehicles over smooth surfaces. '

This is an educative influence, but it canrot always be counied on. as sufficien.. To secure permanent resulis it should be supplementad by practical instruection, nmot alone to the ‘'adult generation, but to the youth who will, before many years, be called upon to decide whether the mudways of tke past are to be retained, or whether greater prosperity is to be courted by the aid of hard and permanent highways. Demonstrations of road construction held annually in every county; bailding of sample stretchgs on scientific principles; efforts to arouse interest by promoting discussion in farmers’ granges and asspciations; circulation of readable, c/'onvincing matter, and the like, are among the means that can be used to appeal to the adult mind. :

But younger minds can be appealed to more effectively through the instruction of the schools and colleges, in every one of which information on the social and econom’e value of good roads ought to be given. 'This is a phase of the subject that has not yet received the attention its importance merits. Too much cannot be expected of the present gemeration, but the, oncoming one can be trained to see the great advantages of improving -the highways, so that they will naturally take up the work when their time and opportunity comes. Doubtless there are obstacles to be encountered in securing the introduection of such instruction into the common schools, but they can all be overcome. Not the least among them, perhaps, is the fact that few teachers are themselves at all well informed on the subject, and might not welcome it at first. Few works suitable for purposes of instruction now exist, and a demand for them would be created; but, in a short time, all this could be remedied, and intelligent instruction given to the young would eventually bring forth fruit a thousandfold.— Good Roads. 5 -

o ‘Russin 'Has Bad Ronds. Baron Duquesne, sent to Russia by the Touring Club de France for the object of inspecting the roads most suitable for the projected Paris-St. Petersburg motor car race, has issued a long report stating that roads, as understood in the rest of Europe, do not exist in Russia save in the immediate vicinity of the largesttowns,where they are few and far between, and very - bad at that. He concludes that the ' intended race is almost an impossibili- ' ty. as the rough pathways used . as i roads would not allow one vehicle ever reaching its destination.

- MODERN FRUIT FARMING. it Pays Where a Fair Propozruon of ; the Crop Can Be Sold Directly ! to the Consumer. . i That well-conducted orchards, including the small fruits, are more profitable than ordinary branches of tarming is a fact that thousands of farmers are beginning to learn. But it is not the matural conservatism of average farmers that keeps them from ;Jmaking this change. It is one which, if made over the whole farm, will involve expenses that few farmers ‘can afford. In fact, it can only be done by large purchases of ccmmercial manures, chiefly potash and phosphate. Yet so many are the enemies of fruit. that, even when the trees and plants ‘have been fertilized at great expense, the fruit may be destroyed by blight, and the farmers be left in the lurch. The only remedy, as farmers'are slowly learning, is to cultivate as great a variety of fruits as possible,%oo that (if two or three entirely fail, there may be enough ‘others to take their place. We do not mean by this that a large ‘assortment of varieties of the same ‘species be plantedl Most markeét orchards have far too many, and if their owners were asked ‘which of all these had more than paid expenges, their answer would be restricted to not more than two.or three sorts of any species, and in some not more than one. For home use as many varieties as there are tastes may be grown. But thisis pot business. Usually the farmer, whose orchard is all of the best paying variety, finds that kind good enough for himself and family. Ifitisn’t,then he had better grow something else, for popular taste is capricious and cannot be long depended on to favor what is 'not really good. ’ » ~ If the farmer has money enough to tide over monproductive seasons, will it pay him to set his whole farm' in fruits? We believe it'will, if the farm is reduced in size, so that one man can do all the work of cultivating and caring for trees: until fruit-gathering time.. Most of the eastern geod farming land is destined, we believe, to be divided into small, holdings and set with fruit. It will produce more in money value, and, we believe, also in nutritive value thus, than if cropped with ordinary farm crops. An apple tree which occupied less than four square rods of land has been known to bear upwards of 55 bushels of fruit in a single season, and this at the time sold at a price that would niake the land yield more than $720 per acre. There were more than 18 barrels of ‘apples on the tree, and they so}d at ‘one dollar per barrel. With berries, and these are surer than large fruit, larger money returns per acre than ' this have been secured. o

With better understanding of the means for fighting insects and fungous diseases, the growing of fine fruit is much less hazardous than it used to be. Much, however, depends on having a good locationsand with the small fruits on a good near retail,nmrk(-t. This, of course, limits the amount that each individual grower can produce. Atleast part of the crop ought always to be sold at retail. The farmer who goes into fruit growing depending wholly on selling it to commission houses, will find so many profits taken between the field and the consumer that his own share in the profit will be nothing.— American Ciultivirator.

Too little of the opening is presented between the rounds, owing to the round form of

A fruit-gath-ering box is shown in the cut which obviates both of these defects. Its handle is made from a flat hoop soaked in water and bent into the proper shape. This handle can be supported by two hooks, keeping the box very firm. With a box the full opening from one side to the other is afforded for putting in frujt. If the hox is carefully lined with a double thickness of burlap there will be less likelihood of bruising the fruit, even in the smallest degree.—N. Y.

If I live to be a hundred years old that moment will alwa‘\};s stand out as plainly as it does tonight.” : : i She sighed and nestled a little closer, looking ' longingly up into his honest blue eyes. After a moment’s silence she urged: - “Yes, but John, dearest, you haven’t told me when it was.” /o ; “Oh,” he answered, “I thought you had .guessed it. Surely it ought to be easy enough for you to do so. It was when you came to me last fall, if you remember, and told me that you had decided to trim over one of your old hats so as to make it do for the winter.” : Then the celebration of the seventh anniversary of their marriage became formal and, uninteresting.—Cleveland Leader.
