BANDSTAND MUSINGS. Random Notes of Interest for the Reader —On the Ill Effects of License in Journalism Because of some State legislation that just now comes into force, a good deal is being said about the freedom of the press, whatever that may be. There seems to be quite a diversity of opinion as to what constitutes true freedom, as regards the press. It is said that when our fathers framed our Constitution, a century and a quarter ago, and took great pains to secure for themselves and their posterity liberty of the press, they meant that sensible people should be free to use it wisely for proper purposes. In these days many people seem to think that it means that in this free country anybody should be at liberty to use it just as he pleases. There is a flamboyancy, a pugnaciousness, a rampagiousness about some minds that seems to find relief only in printing their erratic thoughts. They lose sight of the fact that true freedom is liberty under the care of proper law. While liberty run wild is unwarranted license, true freedom we need, and must protect and preserve, but license must be properly checked. It may be difficult to do this, for as a rule the class of people who need proper restraint are most unwilling to submit to it. There is more or less responsibility connected with the use of the press. When it is used for unfair, mischievous, or other unworthy purposes, we want to fix the responsibility. An honorable newspaper will not be an impersonal thing. Liberty without restraint is dangerous, and the public should be protected against it. When under the name of liberty writers resort to misrepresentation, calumny, libel, it becomes a necessary and proper question. How can the well-disposed citizen be protected against the mendacity of the careless, unscrupulous, irresponsible scrubber? An effort to do this is to be commended. Probably it is almost, if not quite, impossible to frame laws that unscrubulous persons cannot in some way evade. There is a certain commendable quality called honor that ought to influence in these matters. I wonder if some modern trust or combine has got a corner on honor, so that it is a scarce article in the market? Certain it is, there is not over much of it about. The indications are that in this State some special efforts will be made to find out just how far legislation can regulate the press. In the meantime, it is amusing to see some most flagrant violators of propriety showing some time of blooming was not occurred. Seedling trees of the bitter almond among the first to bloom, and two weeks or more ahead of them came into bloom the pollen of ter almond had either been wilted by the early rains, or lost other unfavorable conditions; ing its action on the other flower order to accomplish the result at the varieties so intermixed bloom together, or nearly so. Of course, almond the experiment was easier because, after testing variety, and its merits become known, they were reproduced ding. The long period required walnut to come into bearing was grown from the seed almond together. But this is no longer culture has reached the height section, and is now being conducted broad lines and scientific practice. Inferior seedlings are giving grafted and budded trees of the kinds, or to seedlings of choice; their habits are studied novice of the grower does not wait and undergo years of tollery to acquire results, but only by the experience of others who made fruit culture the study lives, and who show their liberal warmheartedness by sharing knowledge with their neighbors. ORIGIN OF IMPROVED HOME VA While large walnut orchards set out, and many new plantings every season, consisting mainly of trees produced from seeds of old historic trees of early introduction was ever made to improved varieties by cross-pollination and none are yet recorded. Only have improved varieties known, and these originated chance seedlings. In 1867, Mr Sexton, of Goleta, Santa Barbara, purchased in San Francisco walnuts supposed to have cooled South America, labeled "Eng nuts," from which he raised abtrees, and the spring followed planted 200 of these trees in form at Goleta. Sixty proved soft-shell variety. Later, he 24 trees raised from soft-shell his original trees; of this aname true (the same) to the pariand three made a much-growth, commenced fruiting sixth year, and produced a mendacity of the careless, unscrupulous, irresponsible scribbler. An effort to do this is to be commended. Probably it is almost, if not quite, impossible to frame laws that unscrupulous persons cannot in some way evade. There is a certain commendable quality called honor that ought to influence in these matters. I wonder if some modern trust or combine has got a corner on honor, so that it is a scarce article in the market? Certain it is, there is not over much of it about. The indications are that in this State some special efforts will be made to find out just how far legislation can regulate the press. In the meantime, it is amusing to see some most fragrant violators of propriety showing some anxiety to come into line, and demurely recommend their neighbors to be good, and obedient to the law, just as they are. One of our dailies has submitted for consideration two plain propositions, viz., "Obadience to law is not a mark of cowardice," and "Defiance of law is not a mark of courage." These two propositions suggest the inquiry, Can a man regularly and freely use the press for right purposes, and in a right way, without being either a coward or a braggart? So muses the BANDSTAND.

One of Detroit's retired officers, who fought in two wars and helped for years to restrain the savage outbreaks of our Indians, thus delivered himself to the writer: "The very hardest lesson a young American has to learn when he enters the army is that of obedience. For the first time, his individual authority is dehroned. He is as fractions as a thoroughbred colt that long rebels against the whip and spur. It is hard for him to understand that his freedom of action must be subordinated to military necessity. He chafes, if he does not openly rebel, but when once whipped into line he makes the best soldier on earth. "My first drillmaster had been my friend and the friend of my family from my boyhood up. We had hunted and fished and courted together and exchanged secrets with a freedom that does not obtain among brothers. One day, early in my experience as a soldier, and while everything was being hurried with a view to getting us into Mexico, we had been drilling till I felt ready to drop. The repeated orders struck pain to my ears and I would have consciously sworn that my musket welged a tom. At length, when within easy earshot of him, I shouted, 'For heaven's sake, Bob, stop this tomfoolery and let's go over to the tavern.'" "He never looked at me but roared, 'Corporal, take that man and drill him like the devil.'" "The corporal did, and I thought I'd die of exhaustion. I fully meant to challenge the drillmaster and whip him if he declined, but he succeeded in making me understand the imperative necessity of unquestioning obedience in the soldier. It's tough with the raw recruit, but the quicker he learns his part the better it is for all concerned."—Detroit Free Press. According to the Gardner's Chronicle in 1888, reports became current of trees in portions of the walnut sections of France bearing a full crop, but the nuts failed to harden, the husks when about half grown withering up, and few good nuts were found. The kernels which were formed were soft and insidful. Reports made throughout were that "while there were plenty of nuts there was nothing in them," and after assigning different reasons for this failure, conclude "probably from imperfect fertilization of the flowers." Many other similar instances are reported as occurring in different groves. "It is a common occurrence for the walnut to be deficient in producing either the male or female blossoms, which it bears, both of which are essential to its producing and ripening nuts. I have a tree, now about twenty years old, which began a few years ago to show blossoms, but those merely female, without one male catkin appearing on the tree, and the consequence has been that after the flowers laded the fruit regularly dropped off. This season, there being a considerable show of female blossoms but no male ones, I thought of trying the plan followed by gardeners in the case of melons and other fruits where fertilization is not freely effected by nature, and having seen abundance of male catkins on a tree at a friend's, I asked him to send me some, and he accordingly sent me a small paper-bag full, which I dusted and threw over such of the female blossoms as were within my reach. The consequence has been that I now have about a dozen fine nuts, swelling out regularly, with every appearance of coming in due time into maturity. All the embryo fruit not fertilized have fallen off as usual. I am pleased with the success of my experiment, and mean should my tree still prove deficient in male blossoms, with the assistance of my friend's, to supply its wants; and, by taking a little more trouble, I have no doubt I shall be able to render every female blossom fruited."—Gardener's Chronicle, London, 1847, p. 541. As showing this curious functional difference in our own State, a few facts are cited. A nurseryman at Ventura observed a large seedling walnut tree, which from its luxuriant growth and symmetrical form he believed would be a variety worthy of cultivation. Accordingly, in the spring of 1886, he planted forty pounds of nuts gathered from that tree. When the seedlings bore none of them produced nuts of any commercial value. This of course proved to be a sad disappointment to him; and after waiting ten years for a crop, he dug up most of them. Some of the trees had become of large dimensions, and had long, spreading branches, and were always quite full of nuts, but without kernels—all hull and shell. This functional difference was investigated; the trees were found to produce an abundance of flowers of the same sex, but few or none of the other through which imperfect fertilization of the flowers the kernels in the nuts did not form—they were wanting. It is also interesting to note that no attempt was made to correct this curious phenomenon by artificial cross-pollination, by distributing pollen from staminate catkins or male flowers, of other trees, before digging up the trees. Through the continuous planting of the seed (as mentioned elsewhere), without regard to the laws of nature, has come about the degeneration of the species in many sections. Trees are frequently reported as having "never borne nuts"; others "bloom profusely," but are blooms of only one sex; the nuts have never set, and have become a bar. favor of cross-fertilization by pollen, of flowers borne by other trees of the same species.

Blood Poison—I lived in a bed of fire for years owing to blood poisoning that followed small pox. It broke out all over my body, itching intensely. Tried doctors and hospitals in vain.

Nervous Debility is often one of the most distressing after-effects of the Grip. It may also be caused by overwork, worry, mental strain or excesses of almost any nature. Whatever the cause, a debilitated nervous system means that the nerves lack nutrition. Feed the nerves and life will renew its joys for you. The best nerve food, and the most valuable tonic (because it both builds up the blood and strengthens the nerves) is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Hundreds of worn-out, depressed men and women have been made strong-nerved, ambitious, energetic and healthful by this remedy. Among the well-known man of the newspaper profession is F. J. Lawnene, of 46 Fourth Avenue, Detroit, Mich., who for the past eleven years has been at his desk every day. He says: "At one time I was in such a condition that my physician said I would have nervous prosecution; that I would have to stop newspaper work or I would go to places if I permitted in doing it, as I was destroying what nerve force I had left. I lost death and had a complication of alliments which baffled medical physicians. An associate recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and I gave them a trial. I can't say that I received any benefit from the first box, but derived very good results from the second. They gave me strength and helped my shattered nerves so that I could get a full night's rest." "A great deal of pain in the small of the back I attributed to a derangement of the kidneys. For this complaint Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People worked wonders. Soon after I began taking them regularly, the pain seemed, and I felt like a new man." "I am greatly encouraged from the results of using a few houses and am confident that the pills will work a complete restoration of my former condition."—From Burning News, Detroit, Mich.

The transports Centennial, City of Pueblo, Cleveland, Grant, Morgan City, Newport, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Portland, Roanoke, Senator, Sherdian, Sherman, St. Paul, Tacoma, Valencia, Warren and Zealandia and the hospital ship Relief, as they belong to the army, need not be reckoned in, while the receiving ships Independence and Pensacola and the Fish Commission ship Albatros, though naval, may also be left out. But there are important vessels under repair or construction on the Pacific coast and notable among the new ones are two battleships, the Ohio and Wisconsin, and the monitor Wyoming, all building at the Union Iron Works in San Francisco; the torpedo boats Farragut, Paul Jones, Perry and Prebble at the same yards, and the Davis, Fox and Goldsborough at Wolfe & Zwicker's in Portland.

PIERCE'S FAVORITE PRESCRIPTION MAKES MOTHER HEALTHY & STRONG PANBESA'S LETTER. An Account of an Egyptian City Thirty Centuries Ago. Probably the oldest letter in the world is the letter of Panbesa, written 15 centuries before Christ to his friend Amenemapt, a scribe. The manuscript is of perishable papyrus, and it is amazing that it should have survived for more than 80 centuries and still be legible. It is preserved in the collection of the British museum. It has been several times translated during the present century. It presents an interesting picture of life in Egypt in the time of Rameses II. It is more in the nature of a literary production, a poem composed in celebration of the visit of Pharaoh to the city of Pa-Ramesea, than an ordinary letter of today. Panbesa "gives his lord, the scribe Amenemapt, to whom he life, health and strength," and then goes on to describe the verdant fields, the thrashing floors, the vineyards, the groves of olives, the orchards of figs, the great daily markets, with their fish and waterfowl and swarms of purchasers. The officials had their "sweet wine of Khemi pomegranate wine and wine Chesterfield's idea of excellence was essentially superficial, for his praise of solid acquirement and genuine principle is always coupled with the assertion of their entire intuitility if unaccompanied by grace, external polish and an agreeable manifestation. He omits all consideration of their intrinsic worth and absolute dignity; their value to the individual, according to him, is wholly proportioned to his skill in using them in a social form. In one of his earlier letters to Philip Stanhope he writes: "What an advantage has a graceful speaker with genteel motions, a handsome figure, over one who shall speak full as much good sense, but who is destitute of these ornaments. In business how prevalent are the graces, how detrimental is the want of them! If you should not acquire manners, all the rest will be of little use to you. By manners I mean engaging, instrucing, shining manners, a distinguished politeness, an almost irresistible address, a superior gracefulness in all you say and do." He would have manners overlay individuality and go so far as to declare that a soldier is a brute, a scholar, a pedant and a philosopher, a cynic without good breeding.—Gentleman's Magazine.

STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE. A Mountaineer Who Highly Appreciated Really Good Cooking. As a rule the mountaineer of Kentucky is not a gastronomic connoisseur, and the visitor at his table is quite as likely to hear dried apples referred to as "fruit" as he is to find any other kind of fruit on the table. Occasionally, however, one of them is sufficiently fortunate to get away from his fastnesses, and living temporarily down in the blue grass has an opportunity to acquire some virtues not otherwise obtainable. It was such a one I caught up with one morning in June along the ridge of the Cumberlanda. "I'm looking for a place," I said after a few preliminaries, "where I can stop for a week or so while I look up some timber I have in this neighborhood. Do you know of any?" "There ain't much uv that sort around here," he replied, "exceptin you go to Mount Pleasant, an I reckon that's too far. But hol' on," he broke in with a sudden thought, "thar's the Widder Tackett. She axed me yistidy to see some uv you folks at the mill and tell 'em she had a place to sleep and eat two or three men of they wusn't too porttickler." "Is it a pretty good place?" I inquired thoughtlessly. The young man's face flushed. "Well, I reckon," he said with some emphasis. "She's gone to be my mother-in-law come next September." "Oh, I beg your pardon," I hastened to explain. "I only asked to know if she had good eating. Some of that we get in private houses even in the cities, you know, is not the best in the world." "Cities be derned," he said with a fine feeling. "Yer ain't never tried the Widder Tackett's pie yet, mister, an yer want to keep still till yer do. Ain't nothin like it nowhere, no matter what kind uv a pie she sets after yer. It's all ne plusibus unum, an no mistake. Why, I'm tellin you that I got down to one uv her pie last week, darn of I recomember what kind it was, of I ever known, an I wus eaten right into it like a hot shovel goin into a snow pile, an Bill Rogers across the table frum me called me a liar, an I never said a darn word to him tell I had plum e't my pie and got my teeth picked. Dern my buttons of I did, colonel." I did not like to inquire further into the mystery of what happened to Mr. Rogers after the last taste of the pie.

A number of literary men were at one time gathered in a well known chap-house in New York. The conversation was of course brilliant, and the repartee sparkled with mirth and wit. During a lull in the talk the door slowly opened, and an old southern darky, grizzled with age, poked his head in and then slowly drew his body in after him. A wait started to eject him, when one of the gentlemen cried: "Wait a moment. Let's see what the old boy wants." The darky bobbed up to the table where this gentleman sat and held out his hat. Throwing a wink to his neighbors, the gentleman took the hat and, making a show of placing something into it, passed it on to the next man, who did likewise. The hat made a tour of the room, to the puzzled wonder of the darky. The last to receive it solemnly handed it back with a polite bow, saying: "There sir, don't you think you have something to be thankful for?" The old darky looked solemnly around the company and mechanically taking the hat, he said: "Gen'men, I'ze indeed glad dat I got eben de hat back!" The reply was so thoroughly enjoyed by the company that the darky left the place a much richer man than when he had entered it.—Kansas City World. Why He Failed. A Wellington Chinese trader known as William Joe Gett, formerly a Chinese interpreter, failed some time ago. Here is an extract from his "statement of the causes of bankruptcy," which, written in red ink, covered four pages of foolscap. After detailing his trading experiences the Celestial writes: "I see my troubles endless to come. I can't get my money to pay. I am helpless. During last three years over 86 creditors support my business. During last two months not a one let me have a penny on tick. Fish never can live in a dry pond without water. Engine can't move along without well supply of coal. Boy can't fly his kite without tail on it. Housekeeper pour out all tea to the cup no refilled water—how she give you more tea you require?

Manufacturers are experimenting in this direction and promise soon a meal that will keep as long as wheat flour and make a much more nutritious bread. As already the crase for whole wheat flour is passing, this new albumen will undoubtedly meet a quick welcome when it comes. The use of the banana has developed its great value as an article of food, and the great army of banana consumers are prepared to accept eagerly its further development. — New York Post. Dear. It is natural for a rich man to become familiar with a professional man he hires and to address his physician as "My dear doctor." But to his solicitor he would say "My dear lawyer!" although the legal man's fee would be quite as good. — New Orleans Picayune. Summons.
