HEHRY WILSON. K. tl. IIARDK.NBEr.aiI. W. W. WOOD. FRIDAY, APRIL 8, 1010. There Is no plnco In tho Scripturo which states that "A man In order to let his light Rhino should carry it around in a 'buggy." Oh, dear to our hearts arc the sad days of springtime, when tho annual house cleaning recurs to our view, when we sleep on the sofa and eat off the mantle, In nn atmosphere strongly suggestive of glue; wo think of the stove-pipe, the soot that camo with It and sweet expressions so fluent mid fine but the saddest and most bitter of all recollections Is tho dusty old carpet that hung on the line. Oh, that dusty old carpet, that rusty old carpet, that musty old carpet that hung on the line! We remember how, armed with a lltho flagelator, in the morning we blithely advanced to the fray, In the muscular pride of our heart, little dreaming that cleaning that carpet would take the whole day; we sweat and we kicked and our hand badly blistered, while the sun lent his countenance, warmly benign, but tho harder we pounded the- more it was needed by that dusty old carpet that hung on the line. Oh, that dusty old carpet, that musty old carpet, that rusty old carpet, that hung on the line! Seeding and planting Is the order of the day. Every farmer who may be truly called a farmer Is busily em ployed in putting in his crops. The croaker or paper farmer is sitting about on store boxes at the village store whittling and deploring the state of the weather; "too wet to plow or plant anything" while last week it was too dry. Tho weather Is never Just right for those fellows. They, like Wilkins Micawber, are waiting for something to turn up. In stead of going out to turn up some thing. The prudent farmer Is at home, wet or dry, when It rains doing odd jobs that he need not do when he ought to be in the Held. Appor tion your-time,-you need all of ' it; have a system in performing your work; work in season, and plant lu season, so when harvest comes the fruits of your labor will be fully realized. Stop your croaking about the worthlessness of the country. If the county don't suit you, pack up your traps and go. Nobody compel led you to come here, and nobody will stop you from going, provided al ways, you can escape the sheriff. HACK TO NKW KNGLAXI). Those Abandoned Farms Likely Soon to be a Mere Tradition. "The tide of brain, brawn and money that has been (lowing west ward for decades Is setting back to ward New England In an Irresistible undertow," declares a writer in Ad vertising and Selling. ' For Instance, in December the Boston office of the Iloston and Malno Itailroad received thirty-two inquir ies from points west of Chicago for New England farms. Up In Vermont the Commissioner of Agriculture re ceived during tho last two months requests for New England farms from practically every State In the Pnlon Multiply these by tho hun dreds of inquiries reaching other agencies in each of our New Englaud states and decide for yourself wheth er or not tho undertow Is coming eastward. "Agriculturally the actual yields have proved that the east has clim ate, soil and facilities for producing as good or as better crops than tho West. The additional foaturo of having tho consumer In tho back yard, so to speak, places tho Now England farmor at great advantage over his Western brother, who pro duces on higher priced land and transports his product 3,000 miles across country. Per acre tho East beats the West In yield year in and year out. Therefore It Is simply a business proposition. "Five years ago tho New England Homestead coucelvod tho Idea of run ning a better farming special train through Now England. It mado ar rangements with tho Boston & Maine Itailroad, which furnished the equip ment free, and tho agricultural col lego provided exhibits and speakers. This train was four weeks running through .Now Hampshlro, Vermont, Massachusetts, and Malno. About 70,000 porsons woro enthused as n direct result. This was a big, pro gressiva and enterprising stop for ward for New England.- "Then camo tho greater Now Eng land conferenco at Iloston, ut which were represented all tho New England Governors, Congressmen and public officials representing Industrial and agricultural enterprises. It was a verltablo lovo feast for Now England unity and progress. Ono direct re sult of the conferenco was tho great Now England fruit show held nt Bos ton last October, which was admit tedly tho most comprehensive agri cultural event over featured In New Englnnd. "There It wns that Now Englnnd showed fruit superior to tho famed product of tho West and showed It by the cnrload. Now preliminary ar rangements nro In hand for n big New England corn exposition to be held next November. A VACCINE FOR TYPHOID. The announcement by Professor Metchnlkoff of tho Paris Pasteur In stitute that ho has successfully In noculatcd monkeys with tho germ of typhoid fover Is a step In tho direc tion of obtaining a vaccine for the cure of that dreaded disease. The difficulty of experiment along the lines that produced tho anti-toxin scrum for diphtheria hns hitherto been tho seeming impossibility of communicating tho dlsense to the lower animals. By proving that the disease can bo given to monkeys Professor Metchnlkoff opens tho only way for a scries of experiments to determine whether there is a vncclno that can be used with success upon human beings. Improved methods of sanitation and water supply have reduced the liability to typhoid In our lnrgc cities, and improved methods of treatment have lessened mortality among those who do acquire it. But a cure rela tively as effective, say, as that em ployed for diphtheria, is still want ing. The world will hope that Prof. Metchnlkoff will soon be able to an nounce such a cure and thereby en title himself to an honorable and world-wide recognition akin to that given to .Tenner, Pasteur and Beh ring. Paper Bullets. Bullets of paper or tallow, pro duce far greater damage than metal ones when used for short-distance firing. It was found on trial that whereas a metal bullet penetrated r. deal plank one Inch thick and left a neat hole, a paper bullot broke up the plank. A paper t, llet passing through six pieces of tin placed one foot apart, buckled them up and made them useless, whereas a metal bulln merely left a small round hole. London Vatler. Tho KoolMi Patentee. One c. the principal reasons why so vast a majority of patents fail to re imburse tho patentees Is t'.at the lat ter, having lost all their vitality on the Invention, do not know how to place an article on tho market.

SKIN DEEP BEAUTY OF FRUIT. High Cultivation Doesiu't Help In Every Way. "Now try this ono," said tho fruit otoro man handing a small, unpre tentious 4irple to n customor who hnd Just bought hnd' eaten a flno rosy specimen from Oregon nearly as big ns ono's two fists. Tho customer hnd paid ton cents for the big apple, whllo tho basket from which tho little ono enme bore a placard: "Two for 5 cents; 5 for 10 cents." Ho looked at the smnll applo and bit into It. Then his counten ance changed. "Why, that's the iet ter applo of the two. It Isn't much for looks, but It has tho llnvor." "Only poor people eat tho good old fashioned apples," said tho fruit man. "New Yorkers who can nfford them will have nothing but the big, red, rosy npplcs and that's where they mnke a mistake. Tho big red apple Is the result of much grafting and culture, and slzo nnd color are al most Its only Inorlts. The little, more natural, uncultured apple re tains tho true npplo flavor and the meat Is solid nnd smooth grained. These now npplcs that might, be call ed man-made are coarser and less llrm under the skin nnd tho meat is uneven. But they please the eye and thousands of city peopje do not know that there Is any other kind. "Tho horticulturists have Improved the slzo and color till It Is nearly Impossible to get n really good, old fashioned apple In the mnrket. Tho orchard mon who produce npplcs for the trade plant none but the Improv ed trees, for they get more bulk of apple to the acre and the appearance makes It possible to realize a much better price. "I was born nnd bred In the np ple growing region of northern Ohio nnd I know fruit. In my young days we first had the July apples, about July 4, then the August apple, both fine, sweet, mellow, mealy apples that got juicy when dead ripe. Our staple npplcs in those days were the Rhode Island Greening, northern spy, rambo, sheep nose, pippin, wlnesap, and sev eral varieties of russets. Every one of these apples had a distinctive fla vor and their keeping qualities were such that they followed each other in order through the winter. Do you see any of these apples In tho fruit stores of New York nowadays? Not much. You'll find big, pithy, taste less apples called kings nnd queens of this and that which in our day we should not have cared for at all. "No, It Isn't a change of taste. I thought that maybe my palate was less sensitive than when I wns young er and that perhaps a winesap or a sheep nose wouldn't taste as it once did, but I got out into that Ohio ap ple country Inst fall and I found the old-fashioned apples just as good as they usQd to be. They were hard to find though, even there. "But apples are not the only things that scientific development has spoil ed. Peaches are not what they used to bo In flavor and texture, though the size and color arc better. Pears have held their own more evenly. Eastern and northern orchardmen have been content to let California and some parts of the south raise tho pears and as , they depend largely upon soil and climate, they have flourished and held their old time sweetness. But plums really have been Improved. Only a few years ago a plum without a worm at the heart was rare, and the various plum tree blights weakened the trees till they lacked the vitality to produce good fruit. Means have been found to kill the worms and with scientific treatment thcr trees are gaining vi tality. "Among the vegetables I suppose asparagus, celery, strawberries and tomatoes have suffered most at the hands of science. Whnt man of 40 doesn't remember the little green as paragus that was not bigger than a lead pencil and that cookB of that day broke Into inch lengths, stewed In cream and served on bits of toasts. It wasn't ns pretty on tho table as the giant white stalks of to-day. but there was no lack of asparagus fla vor. "Don't you remember the celery of yesteryear? Great plants, three feet tall and bleached half way up and tho true celery flavor from root to top leaf? Why, to make modern colery taste like something more than a drink of water they stuff It with cheese. "And strawberries now they have 'em so big that ono mnkes two or threo bites, but they taste so much liko straw that tho namo seems well given. "We get beautiful red, smooth to matoes thoso days, big as a dinner plate, but they aro mostly pulp that is tasteless and Insipid. They used to bo smaller and loss tempting, and thoro woro lota of seeds and Juice, but tomatoes didn't have to have sauces and dressings to riiako thorn palatablo."

AN ATHLETE AT SEVENTY-TWO EDWARD P. WESTON A Man Seventy-Two Years, of Aj?o Walking From California to New York City Ten Days Abend of Ills Schedule. In this dny of marvelous athletic achievement, when wonderful feats aro recurring constantly, we are scarcely through applauding some new hnppenlng before our gaze Is attracted to jinother phenomenon. Tho strenuous life, to quote a well known hunter, who Is constantly In the public eye, absorbs much of our attention and fills columns of our dally papers. For the most part, however, names of prominent ath letes are evanescent, and our Idols nro continually being rcpinced by now names and faces. We soon for get tho old loves to take on the new ones. Thus we have shown that athletic glory is ephemeral. Where aro the heroes of yesteryear? How many enn recall the names of men we were accustomed but several years ago to discuss and applaud In wonder and admiration? Tho an swer Is simple, perhaps ono or two more popular than their fellows, or perhaps, again one whom wns per sonally dear to you. However, there Is one athlete who was cheered by our parents In their youth and who to-day Is engaged In a remarkable test of endurance. We refer to Ed ward Payson Weston, tho veteran podestrinn, who Is walking from "Ocean to Ocean" In ninety days. The famous walker, who Is now In his seventy-second year, left Los Angeles, Cal., on Feb. 1st, in an en deavor to walk from that place to New York in ninety days, excluding Sundays, when he does not walk in competition. At the time he start ed he was the recipient of many letters admonishing him, that to make the attempt meant suicide. Learned physicians discussed on the Impossibility of any man his ago completing such a task.- Undis mayed, the "old young athlete," as he likes to be called, made the start, being sent off by a hearty slap on the back" from the Mayor of Los Angeles. His course was to Follow the Sante Fe Railroad to Chicago, then the old post road to New York. In making a walk of this sort one doesn't realize the vicissitudes and hardships that must be undergone. There are no roads to follow and the only pathway is beside tho railroad tracks which Is by no means the easiest walking in the world as many miles would have to be cov ered walking on ties. At the start, discouraging head winds retarded the veteran hiker, but undaunted he kept his eyes to the East with New York as his goal. Leaving San Bernardino, Cal., he entered the Majawe desert, which even to the traveler on a limited train, Is a cause of much complaint because of tho desolate scenery he must endure for a tedious day. How pleasant, -then, must it have been for a man on foot! But to show the remarkable persistence of the walk er, he was nearly two days ahead of his schedule on reaching Dedles, Cal., tho eastern edge of the desert. During that time he skirted the edge of Death Valley, the only place In America where no anlmnl llfo exists. Then he started on a hard, steady, up-hill grind from sea level to nn altitude of nine thousand feet when ho crossed the Continental Divide. Walking day and night he was in deed a picturesque sight to behold In his khaki walking suit ana high English leggings, currying a short walking stick which he claims to have carried already 50,000 miles during walking matches. Crossing Arizona and Now Mexico entire towns turned out to cheer and en courage him on his way, but In Kan sas, a state he walked over last year, It was a canstant reception by the enthusiastic Kausans. Numer ous Inquiries are mado as to how he gets his supplies. Theso aro carried by two employes of tho Santa Fo who accompany htm on a railway motor car. They consist of eggs, milk, rice, pudding, chocolate, or angos, and bottles of ginger alo and sarsaparllln. Ho eats at n6 regular time, but whenever ho gets hungry which Is about every hour. Dloto tlclnns have, In many of their best arguments, refuted by this marvelous athlete who eats anything and everything during a contest from whoat cakes to pie. Neither does ho follow any regular wnlklng hours, sometimes going to bod Into In tho night and perhaps tho next day re turning for a rest at noon time. His swinging, cnroloss walk, with lantern flashing In the darkness like a fire fly, Is a well recognized feature of his trips. When asked why he un dertakes theso walks, ho always re plies, "To benoflt tho youth of America; to show tho rising genorn tlon what tho application of nn ex ercise within rench of ovorybody has dono for me und can do for thorn." Horo Is nn athloto with nn Idenl. Ono who undertakes a stubborn feat of endurance to teach others to pro long tholr Hvo3 In nn easy, natural manner. His llfo Is a living ox- amplo to nil to lend a healthy, abstalnous existence and to longth on that too brief space between youth and old ngq. His career Is of moral benefit to any community, for somo forty years ago ho promised his mother that ho would nover en gage In any contest on Sunday. To that promise ho has ever remained true, although It has meant a considerable monetary loss particu larly during ono competition In Paris. Ills dally walks average aboht forty-flvo miles, but moro often ho exceeds that distance as on March ICth ho walked 72 miles. He Is now ten days ahead of his schedule and near Chicago, A rousing recep tion is to he given him on his arrival In New York, Including n testimon ial lecturo at Carnegie Hall. Then ho plans a lecturo tour throughout tho country which he hns crossed so many times on foot. LABOR TEMPLE HEAL CHURCH FOR WORKING PEOPLE. The Labor Temple, combining re ligious services for working people with wholesome seculnr amuse ments, will bo tho name of tho Fourteenth Street Presbyterlnn church (New York) beginning on April 10th. Tho Labor Templo Is the realiza tion of the dreams of the Rev. Charles Stelzle, secretary of tho Department of Church and Labor of tho Presbyterian Board of Homo Missions. Mr. Stelzle is from the eaBt side, and still retains a certi ficate that he Is a Journeyman ma chinist. He is also a member of tho Machinists' Union. When he was a boy, .Mr. Stelzle had sharply defined opinions ns to what a church ought to be. He likes to tell how he formed those opinions as he walked the streets and asked himself, "Where shall I go now?" When he reached man hood not many years ago, his opin ions had not changed, nnd when he became a Presbyterian clergyman ho took those same opinions into the ministry. When he became secretary of tho Church and Labor Department, created for him, he spent much of his time addressing worklngmen. The rest of It he spent leaning over his pulpit and asking this question of congregations all over the coun try: "Why the dickens don't you do something real for the working man?" Finally the congregation said: "Well, since you insist, we will. The Fourteenth Street Church has been consolidated with the Thir teenth Street, and we'll let you have the building for a two-years' experiment. We'll give you $10, 000 a year for your expenses, and we'll give you an assistant. We'll let you decide what this 'something real' you're always talking about shall be, and If you show us at the end of two years that the project has been a success we'll make this Fourteenth street institution per manent, and we'll put a place Just like It in every big city in America. Hero's luck!" Mr. Stelzle could hardly wait un til they were through telling him about it. He started work the next morning, and now his plans are complete. Already he sees labor temples at 200-mile intervals across the continent. The first week at the Labor Templo will be typical of every week, beginning Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock with an address on a popular topic. Congressman Wil liam S. Bennet probably will be the first, with a talk on immigration. When he Is through speaking nn opportunity to heckle, as they do at tho People's Institute, will be given. In the evening there will bo a pop ular service, conducted by Mr. Stel zlo's assistant. It will bo religious in character, but not evangelistic. On Monday night there will be a travelogue, with moving pictures, and tho lecturers will bo men of popular reputation. On Tuesday night there will bo a discussion of social problems, iu which tho audiences will bo Invited to Join. Jacob A. Rlls hns been asked to bo tho speaker at tho first of them, and men of his stump and his experience will follow. On Wednesday night there will be a success talk Inspiration Night Is the name that has been given It. John Wanamakor Is announced to make tho first address, and will be followed by men who nro conspicu ous In othor activities. On Thursday night thero will bo a "sociable," when tho people Iden tified with tho Labor Templo will gathor for a good time. W. 15. HOLMES, President. A. T. SEAKLK, Vice Pres.

For tho last four years ho has been pastor of tho wealthiest Presbyter tan church In Toledo, O., and has given up a salary of $4,500 a year to come to New York.
