The Gerauut proviace of Hanover, pays the St Louis Poet-Dispatch, o was UtVl !! of highways, on which there are 176,794 fruit trees pear, cherry, plam and apple sufflcieat if at oat M to aa acre to form aa or chard of more than 300 square miles. The fralt raised oa these trees Is a aoarce of lacome for the provtoce, which sometime makes S40,t0,a year by aeUiag the products of this elon gated orchard. The province maintains a aurseryof 43 acres to supply young trees for roadside ase and for promoting the in terests of fruit culture. The profit of a tree Is Tery small, but the Hanover people do not worry about that Shade fa afforded in summer, the roadbed is free from, dust the presence 'of trees retards the washing out of the soil from the banks into the roadside ditches and the attractive appearance of the roadside' stimulates an interest la tree culture and benefits the prov ince in many other ways. They find it worth while. Volcanic Duet Showers. A strange occurrence Is reported from Lower Silesia, where now the rigors of hard winter prevail, writes a Berlin correspondent of the Pall Man Gazette. Daring a storm la the Llegnltz dis trict there has fallen a great quantity of yellowish-brown volcanic dust de positing itself In a layer so thick ca the frozen country roads and. sheets of water that skating and sleighing, which had been in full swing for days, have both been stopped. As the season of the year, is most unusual for occurrences of this kind, and there is neither any record of volcanic eruptions in Europe or of the dustfall' taking place anywhere else, the visitation is causing a good deal of perplexity 'among German scien tists. Queen Wiwelmlna o; Holland is one of the busiest monarchs in Eu rope, and is never happier than when attending to affairs of state. Even as a child she was fond of asserting her authority. One day she sent for a certain minister and announced that she had quarreled with and dismissed her governess. The minister grave- ly asked: "When does your majesty wish her to be beheaded? You know it Is the custom in Holland to behead all those who are officially disgraced. It will be necessary for your majesty to be present at the execution, and Here the child queen abruptly left the apartment and the governess was reinstated at once. Origin of the "Dark Hers." The term "dark horse" Is such a familiar one, even to persons who do not frequent horse races,' that few atop to wonder at its origin, and few er still know anything about the cir cumstances to which It owea its crea tion. Its origin is due to Lord Bea consfield, who used the phrase la "The Young Duke." In this novel he speaks of a dark horse which had mover been thought of and which few had so much as observed. The dark horse, however, rushed past the graad stand to victory. This dark horse was actually one of dark color, but today the color is no longer taken Into account A dark horse may be aaything, so long aa he sweeps from She ranks of the unnoticed to the dory of the winning post' Couldn't Disturb Ike, 1 want a pound of oyster crack ers," said Mrs. Medders.

It is not often that a barnyard fowl attains neighborhood popularity, but such is the case with a huge Massa chusetts red rooster belonging to Charles Davis of 4415 St Joha aveaue. A few weeks ago Mr. Davis was at tracted to his barnyard by the whines of a half-grown setter pup he Is train ing. He found that the dog had been driven into a corner, and was being savagely attacked by the big cock, and before he could Interfere In behalf ol the pup it had beea pretty heavil) marked by the rooster's spars. Since that time "Red," as he has come to be called, has become a neigh borhood bully, and refuses to allow pigs or dogs to come withia the grounds under his rule. Curiously enough, dogs, will not fight back, but actually run from bis assaults. As for game cocks, he has probably thrashed more of them than any other bird in the city. Kansas City Journal.

Ethelbert Talbot ew bishop of central Pennsylvania, and for years the bishop of Wyoming and Idaho in the early days of that region, telhfthe following: It both pleased and amused. Urn to notice that the stage drivers a class accustomed to the use of free profaa ity were wont to be respectful and clean-spoken In his presence, and that when one by chance let slip an oath he followed it by profuse apologies; aad he gives an illustrative anecdote from the experiences of Bishop Clark son on the plains of Nebraska. "It seems that oa oae occasion the bishop waa dae to preach at a certain town oa the prairies of Nebraaka. It waa la the spring, aad the mad waa up to the hubs ia places. Already It waa growing dark, aad the llghta of the village which the bishop was try ing to reach seemed still a kmg way oa. He became a little nervous lest he should be late for his appointment Just then they encountered a mud hole and the stage coach stuck fast The driver laid oa the lash; but in vain; the horses would not: move. The bishop was on the box with the driver, who was getting desperate. Unable to stand it longer, he turned to the bish op, and said: " 'Do you see those wheelers looking back at me? "Yes, Harry. What does that meanr " 'Bishop, yon know I have always tried to treat you right and I respect your cloth. But do you say you want to preach in that there town to-aight?' 'Of course I do, Harry!

Has Become of the East, Though He , Owns te a Fondness for the West He Haa Left An Early Day Tragedy. "This talk about my being a raw westerner, ready to eat two or hree men at every meal, .is rather tire some," said "Bat" Masterson, sheriff of Dodge City, Kas., back in the sev enties; deputy marshal of Trinidad, Col one of the rangers who went fighting Indians with Gen. Miles, and now deputy United States marshal ia New York city. "Whea the presideat appointed ae to the position I now hold, I had beea Uviag for four years ia a. hotel on a prominent corner -ia New York," he oaatlaued. "Yet it was made to seem as though I had just stepped out of the aulas with a sombrero hat cowboy trousers, a belt full of guns, and ready to shoot ap the towa. I was followed with cameras aad .flashlights until life was made a burdea. I have lived la the east- a long time now .but of of course. I am still something of a westerner. A man who is once a west erner nevergets over it He can't It gets in his system. "Oat there in the west in the days when a man had to travel hundreds of miles oa a stage coach in order to get anywhere, we had some adventures now and then. For instance, one day hi 1878, when I was sheriff of Dodge City and my brother was marshal, he saw oa the street two obstreperous sowboys who threatened to do harm to innocent bystaaders, and started to take their guas away from them. He told them to disarm and they refused. He wrestled with one for his gun. I saw the other shoot at my brother aad miss, aad thea I saw the fellow whom my brother was wrestling with dis charge the bullet into his abdomen. My brother fell dead. I had been run aiag up, aad was then ten or 12 feet away. Before either of the cowboys could fire I had shot Jhem both dead. Only a matter of 20 seconds had elapsed since the fracas began, and. there lay the three deadbodies in the middle of the street" Marshal Masterson modestly de clined to go farther lato the history of Us shooting scrapes. "There was quite a lot of shooting going on then." he said, "bat It was mostly confined to the obstreperous Individuals, who set tled their diStealtles la that way.
