Lining Fruit Trees.

The periodical lining of fruit trees is
generally considered as serviceabe, especi-
ally in keeping down the ravages of the in
sects which find their home in the fissures
OF the bark. 1t is also important that the
operation should be likewise extended to
the main branches. For the purpose in
question, whitewash has generally been
USED, causing decided whiteness of the
tree, which is objected by many persons on
me score OF the unsightly appearance and
the readiness with which the lime becomes
detached. IT, has been shown, however, by
experience, that the same beneficial effect
results from the use of colorless lime-water
which every one knows how to prepare with
uDslacked lime, and which, when settled
and become clear, can be poured off and
used as above indicated. In this way re-
peated applications can be made without
affecting the appearance Of the tree.

Causes of the Rotting Of Fruit.

According to Decaisne, the rotting OF
fruit is produced by two microscopic fungi,
which develop in moist, confined air; name
ly, Mucor mucedo and Pendulum glaucum,
inhnltely minute germs of which are con-
tinualiy foating in the atmosphere, and
"hlch attack more especially any injured
or abraded portion of the surface. If, now,
the fruit be wrapped up in cotton, or with
soft tissue paper, or, still better, with
waxed paper or tin foil, the introduction of
these germs will be prevented, and the fruit
can be kept for long time without any ap-
preciable change.

DID COLUMBUS Do A BAD THING The
Hartford Courant hardly knows whether
Columbus did q good thing or not in dis
covering this country, and moralizes
thus
The Indians never thanked him, for
one party. The Africans had small ground
to be grateful for the market he opened
tor them Here are two continents that
had no use of him. He led Spain into a
dance of great expectations which ended
in her gorgeous ruin. He introduced to-
bacco into Europe, and laid the tounda-
ton Of more tracts and nervous diseases
than the Romans had in thousand years.
He INTRODUCED the potato into Ireland, in
directly, and that caused such a rapid in
crease of population that the great famine
was the result, and an enormous emigra-
ton to New York-hence Tweed and Hall
and the constituency of the Ring. Co.
lumbus is really responsible for New
York" This reminds us of Artemus
Wards remark, that it would have been
money in Christopher Columbus's pocket
if he'd stayed at home and put his funds
into circus.

The following sensible talk is from the
journal OF Commerce:
'People who sit nervously in counting
houses, or behind their goods, waiting for
customers to take them by storm, and
making no effort to let the world know
the bargains they have to offer, will find
the season very unpropitious. Many of
those who have spent large sums in hiring
drummers and paying for other we'll
known appliances Of trade have effected
large sales, but swallowed up too large
u share Of the receipts in such enormous
attendant expenses. The best remunera-
ton has been found by those who have re-
turned to more legitimate old-fashioned
methods OF pushing business. We say it,
not simply because we are interested in
this line Of expenditure but as our best
advice to all who wish to be enterprising
and to secure a large custom. There is
nothiug now SO effective to this end as
iudicious advertising. A little adyerts-
ing may be like gentle touch of the whip
to poor Dobhin's horse d mercy thrown
away; but a liberal outlay is almost GER
tain to bring in large returns, and will last
even beyond the current season. We do
not believe that any one who has valuable
service or desirable property to offer can
fail of a rich harvest by continuous adver-
tising on a large scale"
