In favoring a liberal appropriation
by the state to pay the tuition of boys
and girls at colleges already esteb
fished, rather than to found a new-
state university, Governor Furs advo
cates a very sensible policy, says tbe
Boston Globe. If the state is to aid
deserving young men and young wom-
en in their efforts to obtain a college
education, It would certainly seem
wiser, for economical reasons, If
for no other reasons, to take
advantage of the many excellent lnttl
tutions of the higher learning already
existing in Massachusetts. Tbe prob
1cm of selecting tbe right boys and
girls upon whom to bestow free schol-
arships ought not to be difficult to

The Persecuted Heiress.
This Is still tbe East, and there
are enough unusual incidents to be
met with in the course of a week to
satisfy an observer. Justice is still
I dor;e on some’ other basis than that of
[ the West. A certain Armenian
maiden, fair of face, favored of for-

encing Bagdad law of late. She want-
ed to be protected from her relatives,
who were trying to steal her fortune.
She took her ease to tbe authorities

in a carriage from one end of Bag-
dad to the other, if one knows tbe
streets; and this would have been Im-
possible in tbe days when Haroun
and his grand vizier prowled about
tbe narrow and tortuous and mysteri-
ous highways.
A new Haroun is on tbe scene, and
making changes so rapidly that tbe
Arabs who come to town after an in-
terval of only a year, rub ihetr eyes
and cry in amazement, ‘‘Ma'sb
Allah!’’ The most obvious of the
transformations being wrought by
Nazim Pasha, the n*-w Vail, or gover-
nor, is the driving of a modern high-
way straight through tbe center of
tbe city. The dust of demolition fills
the air, for nothing stands before the
march of progress. Legal technicali-
ties may not preserve a man's home,
if it is on tbe line of the new high-
ways.

for the great man’s purposes. The
maiden fled to that haven of the dis-
tressed in the East, the British, and
she was smuggled out of the country
to India, w here she now is, the Bag-
dad officials meanwhile making all
possible effort to compel her return.
Another episode, of a pleasanter
kind, came to my observation while
here. I had brought down the Tigris
river with me an Armenian peasant,
who was glad to take service to a re-
gion w here there might be a chance
for work. He was an Armenian mas-
sacre orphan, of the 18bC crop, and bis
whole family, he believed, had been
slain at that time. He had not been
in Bagdad a week before he discov-
ered that his older brother had es-
caped destruction as marvelously as
himself and was living in the city, as

patriot. This rich man was so affect-

Making an Army Overnight.
Tbe rag tag and bohtull which used
to pass for an army In Bagdad has
been caricatured times without num-
ber. The men were literally In rags.
They went barefooted. They were
mostly without weapons. Ill-fed, ill-
paid, 111 treated, they made more trou-
ble than they quelled. Now almost
overnight, Nazim Pasha has changed
all this, lie has organized an entirely
new army, with progressive Young
Turk officers und foreign drill mas-
ters. lie has made In Bagdad the
uniforms which all of them now wear,
and he has equipped every man with
a modern rifle lie Is also taking the
weapons out of the hands of the peo-
ple generally, so that only the repre-
sentatives of the law shall be armed

As It Is, a'VJtt- Inter-tribal lighting has

The terror-that now fills the lawless

may not be allowed to diminish.

governor. He Is resolved to bring in

Is called to stand sponsor for various
wanderers who claim the protection
of the American Hag. The latest Is a
man who is soldiering in a missionary
hospital, claiming to be both the
Messiah and an American citizen.
The latter claim has been proved
bogus, so the consulate Is relieved of
him.
Recently one of Sir William Will-
cocks’ engineers telegraphed from a
village In the desert that a party of
Americans were destitute there, hav-
ing been robbed by the Arabs. Re-
lief was straightway sent and the
people brought to this city. The party
comprised a man, his wife and his
grown-up daughter, from Oklahoma,
who had set out to the Holy Land and
the Far East to convert the heathen.
They were of one of the peculiar sects
that believe in going out on faith, and
so the family had beaten Its way from
point to point. The story of their
having been robbed by the Arabs
proved to have been a pious fiction to
secure relief. The consulate fed and
sheltered the family for a time—and
the man was fastidious as to food—and
then sent them on to flosra, where the
missionaries sent them on to India.
Thus, by being passed on from point to
point, the beggars will really accom-
plish a journey around (he world. Of
course they attempted no mission
work; like some more pretentious en-
terprises, they considered their own
upkeep and comfort the principal
charge upon what funds they could se-
cure.
Various persons "working” their way
around the world on a wager get to
Bagdad. One Canadian undertook to
go around the world on roller-skates,
and he asked the consulates to sign
his papers attesting his presence. But
when it was suggested that he give a
roller-skating exhibition, as a means
of raising money, instead of begging
It outright, he naively confessed that
he hud left his roller skates behind,
several months before, but that he ex-
pected to get another pair before ho
reached Canada. A Frenchman was
■'walking" around the world, and he
left the raft that was bearing him to
Bagdad, a few miles above the city,
that he might enter on foot; but he
was never heard of again.
proper Inquiries from enterprising
nationals who would extend the coun-
try's trade Into remote parts. As the
ultima tbule" of civilization, Bagdad
is chosen by many of these Inquirers, ]
whose knowledge Is not always equal
to their Bpirit of enterprise. One
American manufacturer wanted to In- |
troduce the garter business luto Bag- I
dad; but the people do not use hose, j
Another was keen on making a mar- j
ket for American bathroom fixtures;
but there are probably not a dozen |
modern bathrooms In all the Turkish
empire, outside of Constantinople, j
with its few modern hotels. Still an-
other wanted to sell sanitary appli-
ances. which, it must be admitted, are
Borely needed, but not wanted at all.
Another wished to be in early on the
toothpick market; hut the natives
have a natural toothpick, a thorn,
which they might profitably export.
Others wish to sell electrical appli-
ances, when Bagdad is rejoicing over
the introduction of oil lamps. In a
word, the backwardness and barren-
ness of life in this part of the world
is beyond the Imagination of the west-
erner. Nor do they reckon the worth
of tbe consul’s time. On man wrote
from America for postage stamps and
a list of the edible fish in the Tigris
river. Mr. Levaek courteously sent
him a few stamps—and then got an
angry reply for not sending that list
of fish!
For agricultural machinery; for a
strong, simple oil-engine pump, to take
the place of the antiquated water-
lifts, for irrigation purposes; for a
windmill that will work and stand
rough usage; for tools and simple
articles of household convenience,
America may find a market here, in
exchange for the oriental rugs, hides,
wool and dates which Bagdad ships to
America in large quantities.
Successive American consuls have
resfgned this post because unable to
live on the salary, which is less than
a fifth of what the British resident
gets. The post is a hard one from tbe
climatic standpoint. In summer tbe
people live underground in ‘‘serdabs,’’
which are nothing less than furnished
cellars, where the punkah flaps to agi-
tate the oppressive heat. The German
invasion has made the little company
ci less than half a hundred Britons
work hard for their not very princely
livelihoods, so that there Is compara-
tively little diversion to this exile.
One of the Interesting places In
Bagdad Is the antiquated Jewish syna-
gogue, which is so old that the rabbis
do not know its age. It looks it. And
it is not a magnificent ruin, but a
squalid, dirty old place, littered with
torn matting and rugs, with a more
respectable court adjoining in which
some of the rabbis live. The meanest
of synagogues In America is finer
than this. And it is probably des-
tined to be succeeded by a better, for
the chief rabbi told me with pride of
the success of the young Jews who
have gone to America, and of the in-
creased prosperity that is coming to
the Bagdad Jews. He says that he
does not believe in a colonization of
the Jews in Palestine or Mesopota-
mia; let them go to America or Great
Britain, the real promised land. He
also told me that two thousand of the
young men of his community are
learning to speak English, for that is
to be the language of their new life.
None the less, the Jews in France
have helped to build two large schools
for the boys and girls of their faith in
this city, and tbe school buildings are
the finest in Bagdad.
The Jews in Bagdad have been
very poor, and n people suffering
affliction. They have been in igno-
rance, in consequence, and even the
rabbis are not very learned. I hq*l
a conference with several as to the
identity of the Jews up and down
Mesopotamia, who must number sev-
eral thousand, If not millions. There
are from sixty to a hundred thousand
in Bagdad alone. The old men agreed
that all the twelve tribes, from both
the early captivities of the children of
Israel, have remained to this day in
these regions where they were once
taken captive. There are also great
numbers across the border in Persia.
Thus tbe mystery of the "lost ten
tribes” ceasds to be a mystery; tbe
Jews are still here, and now sharing
in the new awakening of this oldest
corner of the world.

Excellent Specimen of Apple Tree.
There need never be any loss in
transplanting trees if a,few leading
principles Involved are carefully con-
sidered. The reason that so many
trees die in transplanting is that the
work is done without any serious
thought of the vital needs of the tree.
The first essential in transplanting
a tree is that the tree shall be alive
and in perfect health. Not only must
the part above ground be alive and
well, but the entire root system must
be fully alive, fresh and vigorous. The
roots must be green and full of color.
Lf there are any dead roots it is an In-
dication that the entire root system is
diseased, and such specimens should
be discarded. The nurseryman who
sends out trees whose roots are part-
ly decayed and show indications of
disease is either dishonest or grossly
ignorant of what constitutes good
nursery stock. In either case he is

He was a sturdy little chap, just

so mature that the man on tile porch

old sister. They played at telephoning
and going for automobile rides; they

Interested, was disappointed too.
There are no more babies, he told
himself, nothing but a lot of junior me-

kites and tops.
Just at this stage the offending one
walked over and said: "Please, mister,
put the ’lastlc of my hat under my
chin right. I want to dress up an'
play I'm taking Hope to the theatre,"
and the man cheered up Immediately
and did as he was bidden, for a youth
who took his sister out to spend the
evening with his “ ’lastie" under his
chin wasn't such a doddering old gen-
tleman after all.

Method of Planting.
not deserving of public patronage. If
any part of the root system of a young
tree Is found to be either wholly or
partly in a state of decay discard the
tree entirely, even lf it has been pur-
chased at a good price. It is better
to pay the e>tra price of a good tree
now than to plant a diseased one and
be compelled to remove it after a few
years, losing the time and space in
the orchard and running the chances
of infecting the orchard soil with trou-
blesome diseases.
in transplanting a tree of any size
or age a more hr less number of roots
will be broken and destroyed. Tills Is
no objection, provided the roots are
properly treated; In fact, it results
in good to the tree, esi>ecially to the
young tree from one to three years
of age. Where a root is broken off or
cut off even, several new feeding roots
will form, whtnh results in a heavier
and stronger root system. In every
case of transplanting a large number
of the outer ahd lower roots should
be cut off smoothly with a sharp
knife, and all broken roots trimmed
and evened up. If the trimmings of
the roots is done clean the cut will
callous over, without decay, and each
produce a half dozen or more new
roots. Root- pruning should always bo
done in transplanting and a sturdier
tree growth will result.
In setting the tree in the ground dig
out an ample hole for the reception of
the roots, so that they will not be
bent out of place or shape when
placed in position. Set tbe tree slight-
ly lower than it stood in tbe nursery
to allow for heaving* through the
freezing of the soil.
Take plenty of time in covering the
roots with soil. Here is where prob-
ably more mistakes are make than In
any other part of tbe work. The very
finest of soil must be placed about
the roots, or some of them are almost
sure to dry out and suffer, unless a
heavy rain should immediately follow
the planting, which, of course, is not
aafe to rely upon. Fill in slowly about
the roots the finest of soil and press
it down and against them with the
hand. Extra care at this point will be
well repaid, not only in better chances
for the tree living, but of its starting
off into vigorous growth the first sea-
son. If large lumps of earth are
placed on the roots of the newly set
tree the moisture contact will be so
poor that too much air will get to
them, and hence drying out will result.
The first few days or weeks of the
tree's life existence in its new home,
until a heavy- rain comes to settle
down the loose soil, will determine its
fate. If the filling in of the soil has
been well done the tree will survive
even though it should not rain for
weeks. A close soil contact may be
secured by pouring several pails of
water about tbe base of the tree as
soon as the hole has been filled, but
this would require a great amount of
labor where a large orchard is set out.
For a few trees in the garden and
about the home grounds this watering
can easily be done and will pay well
in quick and good results. •
A good balance should be maintain-
ed between the branches and roots
of a tree, and this must be carefully
looked after where transplanting is
done. Tbe branches and leaves of a
tree give off water from their surface,
and this water must be supplied by
the roots. Enough of the branches
must be cut off to balance the roots
removed. If this ia not done the de-
mands of the branches will be greater
than the roots can supply. Evapora-
tion from the surface of the branches
takes place in whiter as well as in
summer, hence trees transplanted in
the fall should be cut back at the time
of root pruning. It is always better to
cut back a little too much than not
enough. Mulching the soil about the
base of tbe tree will help to conserve
moisture and enable the tree to get
through successfully the first year.
Growing Broom Corn.
An Ohio correspondent asks for in-
formation in regard to raising broom
corn, both as to soil and culture. The
soil preparation for planting this crop
is no different than for growing In-
dian corn. A finely pulverized condi-
tion of the seed bean is necessary,
since a rough or sandy condition of
the surface will result in covering up
some of the young plants during first
cultivation. It is planted in drills with
an ordinary corn planter or by h'and.
Cultivation may begin at an> time
after planting by the use of the har-
row lengthwise or the rows. Young
plants will not be injured by this
treatment, while the weeds will be kept
from gaining a start. If during the
first few weeks your broom corn
plants grow rather small, it is of
prime importance to prevent the weeds
getting a foothold before the plant is
big enough to cultivate. Ordinary cul-
tivating corn machinery Is used in car-
ing for the crop.
Farm Animils.
A few more animal? on the farm
will increase the profits next year. Ani-
mals consume coarse foods and con-
vert them into high-pr'ced articles of
food. They furnish a market for your
grain, hay and grazing plants and
leave your fertility fer the soil. They
add interest and var'ety to farm life
and often give incent've for your boys
and girls to remain. Try a few more
good animals.
