A dispatch from Mill ville, W. Va.,
says: Just across the line which di

In the latter, is a. fine fruit farm,
said to be one' of the largest lalhe
United States east of the Bodcr
mounUlns. Tnla estate compntea
a little less than 2,400 acres, and Is
situated on the far-famed London
heights, noted for the many Interest
ing events which occurred ther "dur
ing the late war, and rising about
1,000 feet above Harper's ?erry.
which was f amour in history before
and during the war, and where jthere

Jefferson declared: .'It is worth a
trip across the Atlantic ocean' to
see." All along the Blue Ridge
mountains, to which range Loudon
heights belongs, are foothills ,on
Which are fine flowing springs.! '
The present owners of the estate
are - Messrs! , Charles and Louis
Becker. ; ; In the j spring of ; 1887,
while looking for investments, the
.Messrs. Becker purchased a farm of
500 acres in this belt, and the first
season set out a peach , orchard of
33,000 trees. Since then tight other
tracts have been added, and now the
Beckers' fruit farm comprises 2,34
acres in one continuous tract, and is
one of the largest fruit farms in the
world. , The orchards contain 45,000
peach trees, 8.&00 quince tree and
about 15,000 apricot, plum, damson
! and pear trees. Of the peach, trees
85,000 are in full bearing, ripening
from July to November. : ,
The method adopted in these or
chards of. ''heading in" the peach
trees close to the ground is followed.
The strength that would go to main
tain three or four feet of branchless
trunk by other methods is thrown
into j the. very -fruit producing
branches. This results in produc
ing a pyramidal-shaped-tree, with
strong, robust branches that are ca
pable of sustaining a large yield of
fruit without bending or breaking.'
as would be the result of a like yield
on trees of oxdonary-OTovrth. jLn
other Important consideration is the
fact that these trees are much less
affected by high winds, a feature, of
much . Importance when the fruit
commences to get ripe enough to
It is a rare thing to find a peach
tree on this large farm with a trunk
six Inches long from the ground to
the branches. The pruning is done
with the main object of letting In
sunlight to the center of the trees
and to tlightly check a too ! free
growth of some of the higher
branches. The general plan has
been to plow and harrow .the or
chards early in the spring. Some
orchards have crops of corn '. and
potatoes growing therein, and others
have received regular cultivation
without being planted with any
other crop. - . ; j
, Extensive as are these peach or
charda they are not the only fruit
trees that are planted In large num
bers. There are also orchards con
taining 1,800 plums in variety, 1,600
damsons, 4,700 apricots, 500 Japan
persimmons, 7,000 quinces and cher
ries, nectarines, English walnuts,
Italian chestnuts and paper-shell al
monds. . ' ; (
The vineyards cover sixty acres.
which are to be extended to contain
100 acres. They contain 60,000 vines,
. 33,000 of which are la full bearing.

Now as to the possibility of pro

may bring forth no one ca tell. At
the present time there Is no evidence
to show that even the smallest local

say that no method of producing ar
Uncial rain has yet been publicly
proposed which suggests to one fa
miliar with the scientiflo principles
involved even a possibility of sue

ceived the official recognition and
financial support of congress Is only
another evidence of the gross Ignor
ance of scientiflo principles which is
prevalent among rjur so-called edu
cated men That some of the men
who advocate these wild schemes are

History of a Herd That Xa Bnnnlnir

The camels now running wild la
Arlxona are the descendants of a
small herd originally imported for
use In the state of Nevada. In the
early days of mining on the Corn
stock, long before there were any
railroads In the Great Basin region,
It was thought that camels might be'
profitably used about the mines, par
ticularly in packing across the sur
rounding deserts, and "twelve ship
of the desert" were accordingly pur-'
chased and brought to Virginia City..
They were wanted for use la ' pck-j
ff t a. at a af. . a-a
ing saui irom tne sait spring sail
salt deposit lies far out
in a desert region, and . to .reach It,
many waterless i stretches of sand'
and alkali had to be traversed.- ,'
The camels were able to cross all
the deserts In perfect comfort, car
rying heavy loads of salt and find-
ling means of subsistence In ; the
prickly and bitter plants and shrubs
everywhere to be found In abun-!
dance. In short, the animals did as
good work here In our desert as'
they are able to do in any country
the world, but they were too'
slow. The camel may be fast enough'
lor an Arab, but he is too slow for aa
American.
When the occupation of the cam
els as packers of salt was gone they
were sold to some Mexicans, , who
used them for a. time la packing
wood down out of the mountains
Tbe Mexicans took them up rocky
trails into the rugged hills and used
them the same as they used a mule
unmercifully. They sooo killed
three of the wretched beasts,
and would have killed the remain
der had not a Frenchman, who owned
a nig ranch on the Carson river,
below Dayton, taken pity on - the
poor, abused creatures and bought
the, whole ot them. This -Frenchman
had been In 'Algeria with the
Frerch colony, where he had devel
oped . an affection for the camel-
probably owed the animal a debt of
gratitude for having saved , his Ufa
on some occasion. He bad no use
lor the beasts, therefore he turned
them out to roam the desert plains
at will.
The animals, left to shift for them
selves, soon waxed fat and increased
and multiplied. In a few years,
from nine the herd had Increased to
thirty -six, old and young. The
Frenchman then sold tbe whole lot
to be taken down to Arlxona, to be
used In packing ore down . off a big
mountain range. It was said there
was a good, smooth trail, but the ani
mals found all the rocks, and soon
became footsore and 'useless, when
all were turned adrift to shift . ior
themselves. They have, regained

buffalo. Be was la advance, behind
a small tree, when the buffalo faced

what followed:

I was in a dead line between bin and
the buffalo, so that he could not fire

behind the tree It would be no pro
tection, for tbe buffalo would be
brought up dead by it, aad In a mo
ment would rush round it aad gore

three yards of me she lowered her
head for a toss, and simultaneously

Slxtoen Thousand Dollars a Year for
a Mere Lad.
A small boy, with no particular
education, who can increase his in
come by $12,000 In a single ty tar,
may claim to be an exception to the
general run ot boys. This Is what
Tw.t.. fT-im- 1 J alt
sua arTiccs kuuTe Lueir miriet
value. Be was something in the na
ture oi a "find' last year, when Mr.
Gideon engaged him at a salary of
U.000 for a year's riding. During
tbe season Griffin proved that Mr.
Gideon's judgment was correct, for
he gained remarkable prominence
among the jockeys. When it came
time to talk about this season's work
it was found that Griffin had been
approached by a number of owners,
and that Mr. LorUIard had offered
him $15,000 to ride for his stable
next year. He was reengaged by
Gideon & Daly for $16,000 for the
coming season, aa increase of ex
actly $12,000 over . his salary for the
past season. It Is not to be under
stood that this figure represents the
entire Income of the jockey, for un
der the rules he is permitted to ride
for other owners when his services
are . not demanded by the man to
whom he Is under contract. .The
perquisites ol, a good jockey arc
more than the salary of a capable
cashier or bookkeeper. Griffin, for
Instance, received $2,&00 by way of
a present, outside of his salary, for
winning the Futurity. He Is a sober,
well-mannered lad, aad still very
young, but he takes a great pride in
his family, and is educating his sis
ters and brothers out of his earn
ings. N. Y. Sua.
A Broken Tradition.
The father paced the polished
floor of a mansion that had been
banded down from generation to
generation. His face was now
lighted by joy at the return of the
prodigal; now shadowed by an an
gry grief at tidings which his son
bad brougbL The clouds thickened,
and presently the joy was all ob
scured. He turned to his son and
said: t
-You left me that your independ
ence might not be hampered. You
refused my offered funds, preferring
to use only what you considered your
own. So far there is naught to
blame."
. The son waited with respectful at
tention. "Apparently," continued the old
gentleman, ,you have prospered;
and, .my son, I would .be thrilled
with pride at your solitary, unalJcd
victory baa not you Drought me
news. of a broken tradition of my
family.1!

J Something About the Paopla.
u It Is a mistake to think that the
majority of Norwegians have light
hair,; In. Bergen and other towns I
notice .quite tas many people with
dark hair, and in certain sections
the women are- very beautifuL la
tbe fields many are-seen in their
bright red jackets making hay. and
at work, strange to say, they mske
almost as quick time as their music
We saw a party of girls turning hay
on the hills back ot Bergen. Tbey

hay Is original; they place sticks la
the ground about '. three, or f oar feet
apart la a long raw, and then tie
ropes or cross poles algng the sticks,
on which' they hang the grass to dry.
High up la the mountains there are
numerous level spots where rich
grass grows, and the sturdy girls
climb up to them, cut the grass, bale
It, and by means ot a long wire
stretched down the mountain side,
slide the - bales down. Sometimes
they rail hay down several thousand
feet by means ot these wires.
These peesaat girls, are a happy
lot and thoroughly en vy Ufa. When
a wedding occurs in the country all
work is suspended for miles about.
and the ceremony usually lasts six
days. Tha bride Is rigged out la a
gorgoocs costume, aad dancing aad
feasting are the order ot the day.'

Why One Room in a "Carpat Manu
factory I, Not Opon to Visitors-
A party of ladies and gentlemen
were lately visiting a large carpet
manufactory, and the manager took
them over tbe different Coots of the
establishment. On ascending one
of the staircases they came to a
locked door, on wblch tbe following
Inscription was painted In white let
ters: . .
Strangers not admitted under ,
any circumstances..
The curiosity of the ladies was
excited to a high pitch, and they in
quired, almost in one breath:
"Whatever is to he seen Inside?"
That is one of our workrooms, in
which one hundred and fifty women
are employed In embroidering car
pets." answered the manager.
"Oh! how we should just lite to
hare a peep at them!" exclaimed the
Ladies.
"I am sorry I cannot comply with
your wish," said tbe gentleman,
with a shrug of his shoulders, "but
our rules do not admit of the slight
est exception. Truth to say, there
Is nothing special to be seen, nor Is
there any question of trade secret.
The reason why admission Is forbid
den to strangers is airnplr because
every woman naturally ktokt up,
