Prof. Carl Schrlever Profit In Spraying. . The Nebraska Experiment Station has just issued Bulletin No 106 enti tled, "Does it Pay to Spray Nebraska Apple Orchards? It is free to residents of the state. Those desiring it should address the Agricultural Experiment Station, Lincoln, Nebraska. The sprayibg operations from which the records published in the bulletin were obtained were conducted in two orchards iu Washington county. The purpose of the work was to demon strate the proper methods of sprayir.g apples; and to determine whether, under the conditions existing in Ne brasku, it pays to spray. The materi als used were Bordeaux mixture and Paris green in the first three spray ings, and arsenate of lead alone in the last two sprayings. The cost of spraying in one orchard was about 29 cents per tree for four sprayings, and in the other orchard about 40 cents per tree for five snray ings. Spraying produced a net gain per tree above the cost of spraying of $1 .70 in one orchard, and $2.56 in the other orchard . It increased the yield of fruit by 1.7 bushels per tree in one orohard, and by 2 1 bushels per tree in the second orchard. The improvement in quality of fruit was also very notice- able. In one orchard the sprayed irees iruuuceu auoui super cent, di j .. j i i it . , No. 1 fruit while the unspravel trees gave only I per cent of No 1 fruit . In the otUor orohard about 62 par nt of the crop on the sprayed Irees whs first class fruit while only about 22 per cent of the crop on uusprayed rees was first grace. Suggestions ar9 given in regard to methods of preparing and applying spray mixtures, and various ar rangements fori convenience in the work are pointed out. Five spr.mug.H are recommended, as follows: First After the cluster buds open, but before the individual fljwer buds expand (usually late in April.) ! Second Just after the petals fill (usually early in May.) Third Three weeks after the blos soms fall (usually early in Jane.) lourtb leu weeks after the blos soms fall (commonlv late in July.) 1 if th Three weeks later (commouly about the middle of August.)

A newspaper without an opiuimis like a church without religion . Piety which has the effect of indi gestion is a poor passport to heuven. At forty-five a man has learned to do without liquor or take it struight. The man who talks much of his own honesty deceives no one but himself. The man who digs pits for his neighbors seldom finds a ladder for himself. The man who takes a woman at her word pleases neither himself nor the woman. Some men never realize that they are in love until a more ardent suitor bus carried of th girl. A frost in May is like a frown on the face of a beautiful womau shocking because of its incongruity. Many a man has gone to the devil because he uever received the proper kind ot invitation to go anywhere else The whole world condemns the boss" but applauds the leader; yet the Hboss"is but the leader gone to seed. Every man can think of a lot of news after the paper is out which never occurred to him when the re porter called, When a man realizes that his bumped shins are the result of his own follies, he is iu a fair way to esoaps future bruises. 1 When a man says he is not a caadi date for ollioe, it is no more certain that he means it than that a girl is in eurnest when she declines to be kissed The trouble with a lot of people is that their imagiuation leads always to that whioh is bad ; by no possible chanco do they ever imagine anything which is good. Tho man who cau maintain good temper through houseclcaniug is a fit mate or the womau who can repress a frown when her husband comes home late to dinner. No greater fallacy was ever taught than that there is no pluoe for senti timeut iu business. The wise business man reooguizes and cultivates senti ment as a valuablo asset. Lack of understanding aud a dispo sition to ooudemnthat which is not un derstood is rcponsiblo for more misery and more wreeked homes than brutali ty aud infidelity combined.

Work of Men Devoted t the study of I'rcventlve Meilletne. The universities ure beginning to make special provisions for the train ing of the men who w 111 In the future devote themselves to stamping out dls ease rather than curing It after it has attacked mankind. Thus the George Washington University in the National capital numbers among Its faculty (Jen tlenrco M. Sternberg, who holds the title of professor of preventive medl clue. Gen. Sternberg, who was sur geou general of the United States army from 1S03 until 1902, learned by practl cal experience how to deal with con ta clous diseases, for he served through numerous cholera nnd yellow fever epl demies, hud command of the medical service In the war with Spain nnd was a member nnd secretary of the Havana Yellow Fever Commission of the Na tional Bonrd of Health In 1ST0. Gen. Sternberg, whose writings In th science of preventive medicine nre rec ognized ns those of one of the world f.n-emost authorities, in nn nralcle which appears among this year's publi cations of George Washington Uni versity, shows that the modern seieu title wnrfare ngnlnst disease is being curried on In all parts of the world Americans have conquered yellow feve In Its home In the tropics.

It Is Interesting to note In this connection that It was a a Japanese, trained iu the laboratory of the famous Prof. Koch, ot Berlin, who discovered the minute bacillus which is the cause of the plague, for centuries the world's greatest scourge. State ments of tho mortality iu epidemics of plague seem scarcely believable in these days, of the twentieth century. Sixty eight thousand ieople died of the dis ease In London Iu HHS, Td.OiKI died In Vienna In lull), nnd it killed 40.1 Mi in Stockholm In 1704. A brief epidemic in Central Kuropc In 1771 la estimated to have caused a mortality of 3oo.siO. Kven in the present century the plague caused thousands of deaths Iu China, hut its spread wno finally chocked. In the Philippines, where the disease pre vailed to a considerable extent when our troops took isissessbm of the is- i lands, it bus been practically extermi nated through the ctlorts or trie mouicai oflieers of the army. The story of the triumphs f the men who believe Iu the ounce of prevention rather than ttu ouud of curv U graph ically told ny another set of figures Dr. Sternberg finds that, necordhin to the best estimates, the nvcrago length of human life In the sixteenth century was less than twenty years. At tho present time It Is more than twice ns long, and during the Inst twenty-five yenrs the average duration of life has been lengthened by about six years. During the first thirty-five years of the last century the vital statistics of the city of Iiondon showed a mortality of about twenty-nine to l.OOO. At tho present time the mortality In that city has been reduced from seventeen to nineteen n thousand. Kven more noJa ble results have been obtained In many partB of the civilized world ns knowl edge and methods In the prevention of Infectious diseases have Increased and Improved and ns hygienic conditions have Imkii bettered. Notwithstanding the story told by such statistics, there Is plenty of work abend for the experts In the prevention of disease. The Census Bureau found that more thnn 3.",000 people died from typhoid In the United States In 100O. According to tho census returns there were 111,000 deaths from tuberculosis in the same year, and it is probable that the total number wns at least 14o, 000. Vet, with Increasing numbers of young men studying preventive medi cine in schools such as that maintained by the George Washington University, with greater public knowledge of sani tation and with Improved conditions of living, the triumphs of the pant will be surpassed by the victories of tho fu ture. So the doctor who iwer makes a cure will be one of the rdst useful members of the community, devoting his life to reseu reh work 'tnd to serv and similar o on bonrds of health bodies.

Tlien, America has so many pretty girls! They nre exquisite of coloring. graceful of figure, sweet and amiable of expression, but there the beauty ends. There Is no sparkle and glow of Intel llgence In their: lovely eyes. Money may have been spent lavishly In educating these girls nnd they may have iiKsorhed nil the education It wns Iiossible for them to tnke, but It left them Just as they were In childhood, sweet, smiling, and beautiful. Their highest ambition Is pretty clothes, nd miration, "a good time," and a fash' lonnblc wedding. Then a young couple gather g'snls and chattels nlmut thein tnd found another Inconsequential home. They may be so happy that It seems like cruel caviling to criticise, but there Is one question one cannot help asking: "Where will It end?' One cannot expect much from such con ditions. It means another generation of hu man beings with taste and Intelligence exactly on the plane of the father nnd mother. Success Magazine. The Slaking ot Meerschaum. There nre two places In the world, Vienna and Ituula, which for one hun dred and fifty years have been the cen ters of the meerschaum trade. So writes Fritz Morris In the Technical World Magazine. The latter is a small village In Thuringia, Saxony, near-tin; famous old town of Eisenach, where Martin Luther was confined for. his own safety, by the then elector. Ituhla s In u valley, through which a small rivulet runs: In ancient times It be longed to two dukes, brothers, each of whom owned one bank of the river. The meerschaum Industry wns brought to Uuhla about 174j byne of the reigning dukes, since when It has held Its own more or less In commer cial progress. To-day It Is a wideawake town with electricity, water power nnd gas, with facto.lMi for paper-making, brassworks, rneerwehnuni, nnd, of later yenrs, brlarwood-maklng. The meer schaum trade Is a house Industry, Ilka the making of tops nt Sonneberg, only a few miles distant. But, besides tka work nt home, there are several firms having factories using electric nnd steam power, one of which employs In nnd outside of the house between threo hundred and four hundred hands. Ilia of the Actor. What Is the ense of the actor ngalnst the mnnnger? I should like to tell about tho sufferings Inflicted upon play ers seeking engagements the rudeness nnd brutality, the actual insults that nre far too common, particularly to wo men; hut these ore personnl matters for which there Is no attempt nt Justifi cation, says Hartley Davis In Every body's. Kilt her Is my object to set forth abuses that have the sanction of custom, and that managers regard ns necessary business details. The actor doesn't object to paying n dramatic agent n commission amount ing usunlly to half a week's salary, under ordinary conditions. T.ut be docs object when a manager who has the player's address sends for him through nn ngent nnd this Is n common prac tice. And it Is not unfamiliar for a mnnnger to condui"t all the negotiations himself, settle upon all the nrrunge meuts nnd then direct all the members of a company to call nt the olllce of un ngent nnd sign the contracts.
