Why Her Plan. Did.n Work.

The Pottsyille PENN Miners Journal is respon-
sible for the following story: "A PhOenixville
maid, quite old, becoming anxious about her mat
rimonial chances, recently concocted plan TO
deceive young fellow as to her age. This was
the way she tried it: The old family Bible contain
ed faithful record Of all births, marriages aud
deaths. This volume the maiden took to her cham
Der, and selecting the birth page, she managed by
dint of scratching and writing TO change the date
of her birth to n period eleven years later than
what il had legitmatsly been recorded. Then the
Bible placed on the sitting room table in a
conspicuous manner. That evening came along
the lover. He soon began to finger the Bible
pages, and finally reached the birth record where
and finally reached the birth record, where and
when he discovered, to his surprise, that his An
gelina was just one year younger than lie. He
thought it strange, as she appeared older. He
kept his month shut, and continued to tumble
over the pages. Next he began reading the death
list, and made the very astonishing discovery
that the radiant maiden, according TO the Bible,
had actually been born ten years after the de-
cease of her father. The young man quietly
arose and bid Angelina goodbye, and now
swears that eternal vigilance is indeed the price
of liberty"

Planting Trees In the Fall.

We find that transplanting fruit trees in the
fall is preferred by many, so far as it relates to
apples and cherries. For pears and small fruits,
spring is better. Our own experience would
make the locality, rather than season, the guide
IN making the selection. In uplands, or other
lands of a naturally dry, silicious nature, we
should choose autumn; but in most, heavy or ar
gillaceous soils, spring is undoubtedly the best,
without reference to the variety of the fruit.
And we should adopt this course whether in re-
gard to shade OF fruit trees-always excepting
the evergreens, which We do not think do nearly
so well in fall as spring.
The best time to transplant in the fall is as
soon as thetrees are done growing, which can be
determined by the change Of the leaf By this
early operation the roots have time to seize upon
the soil before winter sets in and the tree is thus
ready for an early start in the spring. aud is al.
so better prepared to stand the seventies of win
ter Large trees, especially, should not be trans
planted very early, or not until the ground is
frozen hard.-GTmdnt0p Telegraph.

what was the matter, until one day neighbor

cause of it; the pumpkin seeds are too fiat and

give them plenty shelled corn and gravel. This
will often cure them and clean out the pumpkin

The Sick Room.

DO not put yonr patient into one which is dark
and gloomy, but let il be light aud cheerful, and
with fireplace if possible.
If the illness be fever, something wrong with
the eyes or brain, or other sickness requiring
quiet, hack room away FROM the family will
answer the best. But if he he suffering from an
accident, let him be near the rest of the family
where you can speak to him. This will help t.
keep him conteuted and cheerful, for it will he
amusement to him to watch your movements
while you are going on with your work, and 1t
will save time in waiting np0n him.
Avoid a room which is exposed to disagreeable
effiuvia. Never have window so fastened that
you cannot open it, especially from the top. Be
careful not TO have much furniture in the room,
particularly if the disease be infections. Wooden
articles hold smells much longer than cotton or
linen; therefore, do not have WOODEN curtains.
1t is better to have none at all, but if you think
the rot m looks bare and cherries, use light mus
lin, or something will easily wash.
