To hold sentiments hostile to Christianity is
one thlng-every man has right TO think for
himself upon his own peril and sponsibiity--but
when he undertakes to teach them to others.
and endeavors to sap the faith and hope and con-

law OF charity he can excuse his conduct Sup

FRUIT TREES.

The Chevaher de Bienen5erg, Of Praguewe,
we are told, has discovered method of citectu-
ally preserving treas in blossom from the fatal eff
fleets Of those frosts which sometimes in the
spring destroy the most promising hopes Of
plentiful crop Of fruit. His method il extreme
Iy simple. He surrounds the trunk of the tree
in blossom with ayisp Of straw or hemp. The
end Of this lie sinks, by means Of stone tied to
H. iii vessel Of spring water, at a little distance
from the tree One vessel will conveniently
serve two trees; or the cord may be heightened
50 Is to surround several before it i plunged in
TO the water.
1t is necessary that the vessel be placed in an
open situation, and by no means shated by the
branches Of tire neighboriug trees, that the frost
may produce all its effect on the water by means
Of the cord communicating with it. This pre-
caution is particularly necessary for those trees
the flowers Of which appear nearly at the same
time as the leaves; which trees are peculiarly
exposed 10 the ravages of the frost. The proofs
of its efficacy, which he had an opportunity of
observing in the spring 1897, were remarkably
striking. Seven apricot espalers, in his gar
den, began to blossom in the month of March.
Fearing that they would suffer from the late
frosts, he surrounded them with cords as above
directed. In effect, pretty sharp frosts took
place six or eight nights the apricot trees III
the neigbouring gardens were all frozen, and
none Of them produced any fruit, whilst each Of
the Cheyaier's produced fruit in abundance,
which came to the greatest perfection.
