PLANTING TREES.


In planting trees of all kinds
there are certain rules and condi-
tons that should be remembered and
practiced.
l. Plant early, before the spring
rains are over and the soil settled
and dry. There is little danger Of
dong this work too early provided
the soil is in condition to handle
readily.
9. In removing trees, either large
or smail, more or less roots will be
cut off, or broken; consequently a
corresponding number of the branch
es should be removed or shortened.
1t is always safe to give the roots
the advantage by reducing the branch
es, leaving less top than root, especi-
all with deciduous teers.
B. In removing trees like the ma
pie. birch, and similar kinds, from
which the sap flows freely from
wounds made on the stem or branch
es in spring, always dig up and cut
loose the roots from the soil before
pruning. because this prevents ex-
cesslve bleeding, as it is termed.
Grape vines are TO exception to this
rule, although many persons think
it will not do to prune them in spring,
even if they are transplanted at the
time.
4. In planting always pack the
soil firmly above the roots of trees,
and also carefully fill up all intersti-
ces between them.
5. In removing trees from one
place to another, and during the OPP
Grafton of planting, keep the roots
moist and exclude them as much as
possible fir III drying winds and the
direct rays of the SUI.
8. Arrange the roots in a natural
position, descending from the stem
outward, and place them no deeper
than they were originally. OF
course allowance pust be made for
the loose soil with which they are
covered to become compact.
7. Large trees with few brace
roots require s king when first
planted to prevent swaying about
and breaking the young rootlets as
they push out into the soil.-N Y.

Every year increases the popu-
larity of this valuable Hair Prep
aration, which is due to merit
alone. We can assure our old
patrons that it is kept fully up to
its high standard; and it is the on
ly reliable and perfected prepare
ton for restoring GRAY OR FADEL
HAIR to its youthful color, making
it soft, lustrous, and silken. The
scalp, by its use, becomes white and
clean. 1t removes all eruptions and
dandruf, and, by it's tonic proper
ties, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. BY its use, the
hair grows thicker and stronger.
In badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR-DREss1NG ever
used, as it requires fewer applica-
tons, and gives the hair a splendid,
glossy appearance. A. A. Hayes,

The liquor question has been
sharply debated in the Canadian
Parliament. The committee to
whom the subject has been referred
declare that the relations between
lntemperance and crime are so sig
nlfcant that they cannot be ignored.
They assert that four-6fths of all
crimes in that county can be traced
TO intemperance terrifying their po-
sition by the fact that of $3.50
commitments in Quebec and Ontaris
last year 2l,236 are TO be traced d.
rectly to intoAication. They also
cite the opinions Of 153 physicians,
who testify that alcohol is provoca-
tive OF disease and death, being in
fact health, destroying agency.
They are inclined to test prohibition,
and are seeking to frame an effec-
tive law. There is strong feeling
in the Parliament on the subject, and
a stringent law, if no. one absolutely
prohlbitory, will be passed. Pits

Helping Gods Creatures.

A little girl, seeing the servant
throw the crumbs into the fire, said,
"Don't you know that God takes care
Of the sparrows ?"
"If God takes care of them we need
not trouble ourselves about them, j"
was the careless reply.
"But," said said little girl, "I had
rather be like God and help him to
take care of the little birds, that scat
ter. or waste the food that he gives us. u
So she carefully collected what was
left of the crumbs and threw them
out of the window. In a short time
several little birds flew eagerly 10 the
spot and picked up the crumbs she
had scattered. After this, she every
day collected in a little basket tho
crumbs and bits of bread that had
fallen around the table, and thew them
under the window for the little birds:
and during all the winter these LITTLE
creatures came regularly sitter elet
meal to partake of the food thus pro
vided for their support. How beauti
full it was to see this little girl tryinl
to "help God," as she said, and thus
early learning to be kind to the help

A story Of Governor Brough.

On one occasion there was difficulty
in moving supplies to the Army of the
Tennessee, and Stanton telegraphed to
Brough to go forward and put vigor in.
to the officer OF the army who had the
work in charge. The Governor found
a red tape gentleman in command.
who began work at 8 A. n. and closed
at 4 P. NJ. and, when admonished OF
the necessity of more prompt action,
he eoolly informed Brough that he
was a regular officer, and could take
no orders from him, and then he de-
liberately took his own leisurely way.
The Governor assured him that If he
reported him to headquarters be
would be struck by lightning; but the
officer smiled and refused to change
his habits. The Governor sent 8
dispatch to the Secretary of War and
quick answer ordered an officer oi
equal rank from another post to report
Immediately to Gov. Brough, and di-
rected the delinquent to await the
decision of the department. AS hS
took his leave, he grimly admitted
that he had no idea that lightning
could strike so suddenly. After

The wood and bark contain a large amount
