Ren0vating Old Orchards.

So much has been SAID about the ode
cline of orchards" "renOvating old or
chards," etc, and while we have had a
watchful eye over many of the old or
chards, we have sometimes noticed a ia
vorable change made in unproductive old
trees, as for instance when they are start
ed into new life by manuring the land,
dressing out old and partially decayed
limbs, scraping off the rough bark and
washing with strong soap suds, and keep
ing the trees free from insects, and by all
these remedial agents instil a new lease of
life into the trees, thereby getting new
growth and few crops of fruit But that
the tree is nevertheless on the decline,
and its life and usefulness drawing to a
close, is fact that accords with all our
observations in this direction.
Fruit trees have, as men and animals a
period of existence; a lifetime, and it is
just as impossible to rejuvenate, and bring
into new life, an old decaying apple tree,
as to make an old man young and endeavor
to trot him anew through a repetition of
his life of usefulness and produc 'iveness
We have as little faith in bringing to
usefulness, an old neglected orchard, as to
expect much of man or an animal that
has suffered q decline from a life time of
neglect and abuse. a
When we survey the works of Nature
we see all things drifting along in the
same inevitable oirecti n, birth, a period
of existence, and decline and end If a
child is neglected, it becomes most fire.

A Thrilling Scene.

Two Spanish brothers, Rodriguez by
name, went to Father Edward Purcell
and asked leave to put in order the light
ming rod that runs up the tall spire Of the
cathedral at the corner of Plum and
Eighth streets. The Father told them
that the insulators on the rod ere
broken, and other repairs to it, no one
could tell how much, were needed, but he
besought them to put up scafolding in
order to get at the rod which was to be
repaired. Having been commissioned to
do the work, they proceeded to the exc
cution of it without delay. Coming out
of the spire at one of the Laurve win
dows, just above the dial faces of the
tower, the men swung a ladder, partly by
a. rope dropped down from a narrow

Condition of Farm Stock.

THE monthly report of the Department
of Agriculture for March and April gives
a generally favorable view of the condi-
ton of farm stock throughout the coun-
try. The mildness of the winter has been
favorable to the health of farm animals,
in exemption from the exposure of VIC
lent storms and the extremes of tempera-
ture, and rendering necessary smaller
consumption of hay and other feed. A
very large crop of hay was secured last
season, and its excessive production was
quite general; the exception in quantity
being the regions of the Atlantic coast,
and the marked exception in quality that
portion of the West which suffered from
excessive rain, in the season of growth as
well as curing AS heretofore, it is found
that the cattle of the more northern
States are in better order than those OF
the center and southern belts, simply be-
cause they are better sheltered and pro-
tected from exposure. They are also bet
ter fed than those of the Central and
nearly all the Southern States. The most
healthy cattle seem to be found in the
States of Maine, New Hampshire, Yer
mont, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Mime
sofa. They are not only sheltered, cared
for and fed with regularity, but the uni
formity of the winter is stimulant to
appetite and conducive to health
A large crop of hay, well grown and
cured without damage, in the New Eng
land States aided by mild winter weather,
has kept the cattle in that region in ex-
cellent condition. In the Middle States,
farm stock wintered extremely well.
From the Southern States, the reports are
generally untavorable, owing to drouth
and other sympathetic causes. Exemp-
ton to this statement should be made in
favor OF Texas, whence comes the report
unusually good" The reports from
Ohio are generally favorable In Indiana,
the condition of the farm stock may be
p aced at full average. A similar state
ment holds good in regard to Illinois.
Cows appear to be in better order than
usual in localities where cheese factory
enterl rises are furnishing. Michigan
has witered her stock well. Returns
from Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Iowa are
extremely favorable, almost without ex-
ception. N Missouri, farm stock are gen.
orally looking well. Cattle are in fine
condition in Kansas. In Nebraska, farm
animals have generally wintered well
In Southern California, severe drouth
parched the pasturage and starved the
cattle, causing the death of multitudes
In the northern part of the State the pas
turage was good, and the stock, therefore,
in good condition. In Oregon and Wash
ington Territories, the farm stock are in
an average condition. In Utah, from
various causes, the cattle range very poor.
Losses from debility, starvation, or neg.
lect, have been less than usual during the
past year throughout the country. ga

DEAR SIR: On Thursday of last week,
about noon, my house took fire between the

Immediately extinguished, which, in my

BEAUTIFUL WOMEN

All women know that it is beauty, rather than
shipped in the sex. Can it be wondered at, then,
that so much of woman's time and attention
should be directed to the means of developing
and preserving that beautyl Women know, too,
that when men speak of the intellect of women,
they speak critically, tamely, coolly; but when
they come to speak of the charms of beautiful
woman, their language and their eyes kindle
with an enthusiasm which shows them to be pro-
foundly, If not, indeed, ridicuously, in earnest.
1t is part of the natural sagacty of women to per-
ceive all this, and therefore employ every allow
able art to become the goddess of that alteration.
Preach to the contrary, as we may, against the
arts employed by women for enhancing their
beauty there still stands the eternal fact that the
world does not prefer the society of an ugly wo-
man of genius to that of beauty of lese inteleG-
tual requirements. The world has yet allowed no
higher mission to woman than to be beautiful,
and it would seem that the ladies of the present
ag are carrying this idea of the world to greater
extremes than ever, for all women ROW to whom
nature has denied the talismanic power of beauty,
supply the deficiency by the use of most de-
ightful toilet article, known as the Bloom OF
YOUTH which has been lately introduced int o
this country by GEORGE w. LAIRD, delicate
burrows, scars, removing tan, freckles, and dis
colorations from the skin, leaving the complexion
clear, brilliant and beautiful, the skin soft and
smooth. With the assistance of this new Ameri-
can trick of Lady's toilet, female beauty is
destined to play larger part in the admiration
of men and the ambition of women than all the
arts employed since her creation. Prof. c. F.
Chandler, Chemist to the Metropolitan Board OF
Health, has recently prepared chemical analysis
of this delightfultoilet preparation and reported
that the ''Bloom of Youth was harmless, con-
tanning nothing injurious to the health. Ladies
need have no fear of using this invaluable toilet

Plant an Orchard.

No matter if your farm is small
or large, don't rest content until you
have an orchard of fruit trees. awe
do not advise farmers indiscriminate-
ly,'' says the Countryman, s'to under
take to raise fruit for market. Each
one should judge for himself as to the
feasibility of such an enterprise. But
we do say to every farmer, raise fruit,
Or try to do so, at least for the use OF
your own family. 1t will largely pay
in pleasure and health, if you never sell
dollars worth. In selecting varieties,
choose those kinds that usually do well
in your locality. Deal, if possible, with
| reliable fruit-tree dealers, rather than
with agents who are strangers to you.
And don't set out an orchard under the
delusion that setting out the trees will
be about all the work that will be neces-
sary. In this day of many enemies
to fruit and fruit-trees, it may be said
that eternal vigilance is the price OF
fruit. Land devoted to fruit-trees need
not be worthless to the owner. Some
valuable crops can be raised in the Or
chard almost until the trees become old
enough to bear; and by the time they
reach bearing age, in this case, there
will probably be a market close enough.
But, as we said above, if you never sell
Il dollars worth of fruit, your orchard
assuredly will, if properly attend TO-,
pay you and your family, in health and
comfort, for all your labor and expense"

Value Of Newspapers for Children.

"A child beginning to read becomes de-
lighted with newspapers, because he
reads names which are very familiar,
and he will progress accordingly. a
newspaper III one year is worth quar-
ter's schooling to child, and every
father must consider that substantial
information is connected with this adj
vanccment. The mother of the family
being one of it's heads, and having a
more immediate charge of the children,
should herself be instructed. a mind
occupied is fortified against the ills of
life, and is brslced for any emergency.
Children amused by reading or study
are of course, more considerable and are
more easily governed. How many
thoughtiess young men have spent their
earnings i'll Il tavern or grogshop who
ought to have been reading. How
many parents who never spent twenty
dollars for books for their families, would
gladly have given thousands to reclaim
Il son or daughter who had iguorantly
and thoughtlesslyfallen into temptation.
