Oregon DESIRE I'OR DISTINCTION. In "Doc Gordon," by Mary E. Wll-kins-Frccmau, is a quaint Illustration a of a peculiar phase of human nature. tIt develops with the visits of the two doctors (o their poorer patients: James drove ail the morning with Dr. Cordon about the New Jersey country. The country people were cither saturnine with an odd shyness. which 'liml something almost hostile In It, or they were effusively hospitable. forcing apple Jack upon the two doe tors. James was much struck by the curious unconcern shown by the rela tives of the patients and even ly the patients themselves. In only one ease. that of a child suffering from a bad case of measles, was much Interest evinced. The majority of the patients were the very old and middle aged. and they discussed and heard discussed their symptoms with much the siiiuc attitude as ihey might have discussed the mechanism of a wooden doll. It any emotion was shown. It was thai of a singular Inverted pride. "I had a terrible night, doctor," said one old woman, and a smirk of self conceit was over her ancient face. "Yes. moth er did have au awful night." said hei married daughter, with a triumphant expression. Uvea the children cluster ing about the doctor looked uncou eclously proud because their old grand mother had had au awful night. The call of the two doctors at the house was positively hilarious. Quantities of old snnte iack were forced unon them ?The old woman In the adjoining bed room, although she was evidently suf fcrfug. kept calling out a feeble Joke in her cackling old voice. "Thosa people seem positively elated because that old soul Is sick," said James when be and the doctor were again In the buggy. "They are." said Dr. Gordon; "even thc old woman herself, who knows well enough that she has not long to live. 'EgDid you ever think that the desire of distinction was one of the most, per haps the most. Intense purely spiritual emotion of the human soul? Look at tthe way these people live here, grub bing nway at the soil like ants. The irost of them have in their lives Just StUree ways of attracting notice, the romentnry consideration of their kind birth, marriage, sickness and death jgWIth the first they nre hardly actively concerned; oven with the second many fliave nothing to do. There are more wotflcu than men, as usual, and, al though the women want to marry, all ,Jlbc men do not. There remnlns only sickness and death for a standby, so to BpcaU. If one of them Is really sick tand dies, the people are aroused to take notice. The sick person and the ,:orpsc have a certain state and dignity Vnrlilch they bnvo never attained before X Why. bless you, man, I have one pa ,'llcnt, a middle aged woman, who has .jpeen laid up for years with rheuma tism, and she Is fairly vainglorious, and j'v;o is her mother. She brags of her In- Valid daughter. If she had been mere- &'y an old maid on her hands, she would vfwve been ashamed of her, and the wo- 1' nan herself would have been sour and liscontt-nlrd. Rut she has fairly mar led rheumatism. It has been to her as " huBband and children. I tell you, -.loung man, one has to bavo his little footstool of elevation among his fol lows, even If It Is a mighty queer one, jr he lose Ids self respect, and self wroect la the best Jewel wo have."

LUCK. let all the dear ' readers, feminine gender, take cdgulznn.ee of what fol lows, for surely the fairer sex is, after all, the stronger sex. Women know no such nbject obedience to superstitious fears and signs as do the men. With a view to eliciting something of Inter est, the writer hud n chance to put a certain question to a captain of Indus try. "Tut, tut." he replied suspicious ly, "you'd be getting mo Into trouble, would you?" With a promise that no names would bo mentioned, be dually agreed to toll a thing or two. The question was, "Aren't men In Wall street carrying all sorts of queer things to try to change their luck?" In answer to this the writer heard some curious stories. One man of worldwide fame, for example, carries a cane In the center of which there is a slender steel rod. Circling the rod there are rings made of leather and of hard rubber, like the washers that plumbers use. Each seventh ring Is made of leather from the soles of the shoes worn by the billionaire during what he considered Ills luckiest year Elephants and pigs as lucky charms there are of course In plenty, but th. proper capor Is to wear the animal pinned Inside on the watch fob pocket Then there is another great financier who carries with him a gold ink well and would never sign a document with fluid from another receptacle. Once upon a time, when he had, say, only a picayune million or two, he signed a paper In a deal that doubled, then trc bled, his wealth. The ink used that day was emptied Into a long gold tube or well that he now carries. The ink was used up, but to the well, so he thinks, the good luck power has been translated. Lucky coins pass from fa ther to son In several of the multhull Ilonalre families, and the man who In herits them would never bo without them.

"What a beautiful woman Mrs. Ray mond is!" lie exclaimed as he entered the sitting room. "I have Just had such a pleasant talk with her In the bookstore." Ills wife looked up from her sewing. "John," she exclaimed, "where Is your collar?" lie put bis hand to his throat. "I must have left It at the barber shop. Yes, that's It. I went to the barber shop, then to the bookstore. Why," he ended lamely, "Mrs. Raymond would think It very careless of me to appear in public without my collar, wouldn't she?" "Rather," said his wife. "Perhaps you'd better call her up and tell her Just how it happened." lie went to the telephone. "Hollo, central; hello! Hello! Is this Mrs. Raymond? YpS? Well, really. It was very stupid of me, Mrs. Raymond; but, you know, I had been thinking of something very important, aud I quite forgot to put on my collar. I oh ah goodby!" Ho suddenly hung up the receiver and gave utterance to a mild exclama tion. "John!" exclaimed his wife. "She says she hasn't been out of the house today," ho groaned. Harper's Magazine. Womnn'3 Wit. A man found that his wife had bought a few puffs of false hair. This displeased him. So ono day he hid In tho hall outside of her room, and Just as tho lady was adjusting tho false puffs ho darted In upon her. "Mary," ho said reproachfully, "why do you put tho hair of another woman upou your bend?" "John," retorted Mary, with a glanco at her husband's shoes, "why do you put the skin of another calf upou your feet?" Everybody's. Norve. A lady sent her cook to buy the Christmas turkey, but when tho cook returned she bad two chickens. "Martha," the lady said, "I told you to get turkey, not chicken." "I know, mum, but I don't like tur key." A Competont Witness. A friend of the family had been sum moned to testify, much against his will, ns to certain domestic disturbances In a Chicago household. "You saw these blows administer ed?" asked counsel "Yes, sir." "Did you see tho beginning of tho quarrel between this man and bis wlfo?" "I did." "When was It?" "Six years ago." "Six years ago! now is that possi ble?" "I was n guest nt their wedding," snld tho witness. Ladles' Homo Jour nal. Lincoln's Way. Lincoln at tho commencement of tho war was much abused by one of his generals. Ho was even openly Insult ed by tills man. In ills oplcudid way he put up with that mistreatment ini- porturbably.

Keeping Quality of Fruit Grown In Ssd or Under Tillage. Hero is a question, often asked at fruit growers' meetings, as answereu In part by II. V. C. In Rural New Yorker: "Is It true that tipples grown In sod have better keeping quality than those grown under tillage?" No one seems to say yes or no with out qualification. My own experienc Indicates that the cultivated apples ar- larger, lighter In color and less firm than those grown in sod. My sod fru': will certainly average smaller and con slderably higher in color. Our on!, keeping test is that of putting all to gether in an ordinary cellar, as we so' most of our fruit early. I'rom thl test I feel sure that the sod apples ari better keepers. In commercial apple culture this does not make so much difference, ns most apples are put a! once Into cold storage aud kept then' until sold. Scientific Experiments. A largo number of scientific exporl ments have been conducted with vary lng results. There Is u certain deflnlti time beyond which apples should noi be In storage. After this period th sod fruit keeps best. The sod fruit matures earlier than the cultivated and if picked at the same time is a little higher colored. This high colore 1 matured fruit of course keeps botto' than Immature fruit, especially wit'i the earlier varieties, like Wealthy Alexander and Famense. There vari ctles undoubtedly -keep better when grown on sod land than fruit from tilled land picked at the same time. Where the latter was allowed to grow longer there is not much difference. In commercial orcharding I think more depends on other thlinrs. such as pick ing aud handling. No matter how the apple is grown, bruising and rough handling will hurt the fruit. OLD PEACH TREES. Conditions Under Which the Complete Renowal Becomes Advisable. The peach tree Is a rapid grower un der ordinarily favorable conditions. It bears fruit enly on wood of the previ ous season's growth. Rut eVen with careful annual pruning the peach tree will eventually get out of proportion and out of reasonable bounds. It Is at this tlmo that a complete renewal be comes ndvlsable. This can be accom plished without the loss of n crop, pro viding tho work be done early In the spring of a season In which tho fruit buds have been destroyed by the rig- m. m F&s Sfi Wwir e "Ux-Jr '-j-- .

Where annual crops are tho rule the fortunate or chardist may cut back a few of the branches of each tree each season, thereby keeping an adequate supply of new fruiting wood coming on, low down where pruning and spraying may be easily done and where tho crop may be safely supported by the superior strength of tho short, sturdy, well knit branches. Thus gradually the trees will become renewed, there will be no material loss In fruit production and the fruit will bo of largor size becauso of the decreased number of specimens to be developed. V.
