An Unfortunate Debutante.

A sod accident occurred to young de-
butante at an amateur musical entertain
ment in Washington few nights ago.
The beautiful creature walked to the foot
lights with the grace of a queen and the
ease of professional. She warbled the
first stanZa like Nilsson. The accompa-
mist struck up the interlude, and of course
this was the time when the fair singer
should raise her lace-kerchief' to her
face. With a regal curve of the LETT arm
she did so. her eyes fixed on the admiring
audience, when horrible dictu, a most del
icately constructed silk stocking displayed
itself in wavy folds. 1t seems that her
maid in her excitement had placed stock
ing in the place where the other article
ought to be, and hence her ludicrous mis-
take. She stood transfixed, resembling an
auctioneer of hosiery ut bankrupt sale.
The audience roared. The buttons flew,
and stalwart men grasped their sides In
fearful agony. Fashionable ladies forgot
their propriety, and just screeched. Oi
course the best thing under the circum-
stances for Mile. Blank to do was TO faint.
She did it as well as Clara Morris could.
I'm rushed Senator -; he seized a pitch
er of water and soused the PROSTATE form
of the unfortunate singer. This had the
desired effect, and so it would on any fe-
male when her $500 dress was ruined
| With a whizzng sound she left the plat
| form the entertainment was'ended; the
| fair singer has taken herself to nunnery

To Obtain Fruit from Barren Trees.

A correspondent of the American Agr1-
culturtst says in relation to obtaining fruit
from barren trees:
Il wish to describe to you the method
of making fruit trees bear which L blum
dered upon. Some fifteen years ago had
small apple tree that leaned consldera-
bly, so [ drove stake by ii, tied string
to limb and fastened it TO the stake. The
next year that limb blossomed full, and
net another blossom appeared on the tree,
and | came to the conclusion that the
string was so tight that it prevented the
sap returning to the roots; consequently
it formed fruit buds. Having couple oi
pear trees which were large enough to bear
but which had never blossomed, l took
coarse twine and wound it several times
around the tree above the lower limbs
and tied it as tight as | could. The neX'
spring all the top above the cord blossom
ed as white as sheet, and there was not
one blossom below where the cord wa:
tied. A neighbor, seeing my trees loaded
with pears, used this method with tn'
same result. | have since tried the exper-
| iment on several trees. almost with tht
same result. ] think it a much better way
than cutting off the roots. In early sum
mer, say June or July. wind a strons
Irvine several times around the tree, or
single limb, and tie it, the tighter the bet
ter, and you will be pleased with the re
suit; the next winter or spring the corr
/ may be taken of.

A Novel Bequest.

An old gentleman named March died
recently in CbarlestOwn, who was most
eccentric genius. Though possessed OF
some wealth he had but one pleasure
that of theater-going. He could econo-
mize in every thing else, but always treat
himself to a sight of every new play or
actor, good or bad. He left no heirs and
few relatives, and his property was dis
posed of in several singular ways. The
principal item of his will provided for the
investment of sum sufficient 70 realize
$500 per year clear, which was to be ex-
pended in theater tickets, to be given
away to poor, respectable people, mol
over 81 each TO be paid for the tickets.
The trustees under the will are other
wise given full authority in the carrying
out Of this provision. They have selected
the Boston Theater, Globe, Museum, ano
Howard, and will furnish 10 tickets 70
each house for any performance desired
by the parties receiving them.-B0'toH
