on to single trees, and in this way consid
cradle fruit may be grown at little ex.
pense. Low headed, spreading trees are
best for this purpose, like the apple or
butternut The vine should be planted in
good soil several feet distant from the
trunk, and single cane led up pole to
some strong limb, whence it will soon
spread over the entire head of the tree
The stem of the vine should be protected
against injury from stock. Vine covered
trees would add to the picturesqueness of
many landscapes, and repay the cost aside
from the fruit, but we wouldn't advise any
one to grow less vines in his garden or
vineyard on account of covering a few
unsightly trees with them-Erchange.
A FEW days since little girl in Newark,
N. j., was missing from her home, and
all efforts to find her proved unavailing
1t was finally suggested that she might
have fallen through crevice in the walk,
down distance of forty feet into the
vault of neighboring brewery. Lights
were lowered through the aperture, and
afterward a man descended. Strange to
relate, he found the little one lying asleep
upon high bed of dirt and stones, hav-
ing become weary with crying for assist
ance. When taken out and examined by
leading physician of that city (who at
the same time vouches for the correctness
of this story, she was found to he per-
fectly we'll, and to have suffered no bodily
harm by her perilous fall

Strange Sympathy.

PRoCHAsKA, the eminent physiologist,
used to mention in one of his lectures
how, travelling in Bavaria, he put up at s
small inn at Tetschen Brod, where, being
weather bound, he passed his days in
writing. Not liking the meager accom-
moda ton of little village inn, he begged
a comfortable arm chair. After some de-
throne was placed in his room, with many
ipjunctions to treat it carefully. He well
coined the annexation with delight, and
at once proceeded to avail himself of its
comforts. Scarcely, however, had he been
seated in it half an hour, when he was
seized with pain in the back of the neck,
which extended gradually down the spine.
These pains left him after he went to bed,
and returned when he resumed his place
in the chair next morning Sometimes
they came spasmodically, and forced him
to cry out; sometimes they began slightly
and then increased in severity, gradually
engaging one nervous center after another
and causing intense suffering But all the
symptoms would slowly subside on re-
moval from the chair, instantaneous
ly returning when he went back to
it. There was scalcely form of neural
gia he did not experience. The facial
nerves were constantly the seat of suffer
ing, and his sciatic agonies were terrible
He examined the chair carefully and
thoroughly. He rippid open the leather
covering, and he investigated the hair
stuffing beneath. He tested the varnish
on the wood, and, in fact, left nothing
undone that might throw light on the
curious influence of evil this antique
piece of furniture possessed, but to no
purpose. Nothing came of all his perqui-
sition, and he was driven to seek if the
history of the chair could afford any ex-
planation of these phenomena. To his
amazement he learned that his landlady
had borrowed the chair from doctor in
the village. He had used it for years in
his study, and in it some hundreds of
patients had undergone the various oper-
atiOns of surgery. The well-worn arms,
showing where agonized hands had
grasped conyulsively, the patched leather
attested the violence which had attended
these struggles. 81 bought the vicious
old seat, and had it hacked up before my
eyes, and the fragments thrown into the
Elbe," said the Professor, but the lesson
it taught me l have never forgotten.-
