mands the skill of the planter. 
Zero weather does not hurt the hardy 
orange, Citrus trifohata. It stands 
quite uninjured in the neighborhood 
of Philadelphia, where it meets zero 
weather almost every winter. Its pretty 
blossoms in spring, and its oranges in 
autumn, make it sought for for orna¬ 
mental purposes; and those who want 
a formidable hedge plant could get 
nothing as good . — 'Joseph Meehan in

WILLIAM II AS ARCHITECTURAL 
CRITIC 
A N incident characteristic of the 
^ impulsiveness of the Emperor 
William is reported from Buda-Pesth. 
Having ascended the gorgeous stair¬ 
case of the new Parliament building, he 
entered the superb Cupola Hall. Over¬ 
whelmed with its magnificence, he re¬ 
mained silent for some minutes, and then 
said to Professor Steidl, the architect, 
“I have seen many fine things in the 
world, but nothing to compare with this. 
If I had been Emperor when the German 
Parliament was built, our Reichstag 
building would not be like a packing- 
case, and certainly nobody but you 
would have been the architect.”— N. T.

DESTRUCTION OF THE REDWOOD 
TREES 
THE war of the syndicate sharks on 
our redwood forests is now greater 
than ever before, in consequence of 
the gradual exhaustion of the white 
pine forests in the Northwest. For 
some time the Government officials 
have been securing evidence against 
these syndicates, but with little success. 
I he timber speculators employ new 
settlers to locate Government lands, 
ostensibly for themselves, but really for 
the employers, who only want the timber. 
Thus, one of their “dummies” will 
locate claim after claim and transfer it. 
By this means, the redwood timber belt 
will soon become exhausted, and the 
lands be owned by the syndicates, to the 
exclusion of actual settlers. 
When white pine is exhausted in the 
Lake States” of the East our redwood 
and pine will be in greater demand than 
even now, but all the lands will be in the
