auction, and opened his way TO success in a
dingy little shop on Broadway, near the

Years of rigid honesty, shrewd manage

10 Obtain Fruit from Barren Trees

correspondent OF the imeJiodH IqTtcal-
tWris SAYS: Il wish TO describe TO YOU a
method OF making fruit trees bear that
blundered on. Some fifteen years ago had
small apple tree that leaned considerably.
l drove stake by it, tied string to limb
and fastened il to the stake The next wear
that limb blosSomed full, and not another
blossom Appeared on the tree, and, as Tim
Bunker said, 1t sot me thinking and |
came TO the conclusion that the string was
SO tight that it prevented the sap returning
to the roots consequently il formed fruit.
buds. Having a couple of pear trees that
were large enough to bear, but had never
blossomed, / took coarse Irvine and wound
II several times around the tree above the
lower limbs, and tied it as tight as could.
The next spring all the top above the cord
blossomed as white as a sheet, and there
was but one blossom below where the cord
was tied. 4 neighbor, seeing my trees load
ed with pears, used this method with the
same result l think it much better way
than cutting off the roots. In early sum-
mer, say May or June, wind strong Irvine
several times around the tree, or a single
limb, and tie it, the tighter the better, and
You will be pleased with the result the
next winter or spring the cord NAV be taken

A True Woman.

Our beloved and esteemed friend, Susan
b. Anthony, has issued call for Ma
tional Woman's Suffrage Sonvention," to he
held in New York in the coming MAY.
This is the signal for the commencement of
the fun of ignorant newspaper editors and
idiotic reporters. All the stupid and stere
otyped jests usual To the occasion will now
be poured forth in the columns which these
empty-headed gentry control or ventilate
their cheap wit through. Ii in the entire
country any man could be found As honest,
as earnest, and as able as Susan B. Antho-
ny, reform in finance, morals, and general
intelligence might be confidently looked
forward to. But whilst scarcely one OF the
newspaper fraternity is credited with either
honesty or ability, to any considerable de-
gree, We cannot look for honest effort to en-
pose bribery and corruption, or make socie-
ty, politics, or religion, anything more than
the covers for vice, fraud, and hypocrisy,
which they at present are. Susan Il. An
thony is noble, sweet, conscien-
tious woman, who, had fate ordain-
ed or her own inclinations prompted her
to take upon herself the obligations OF
wiiehood and motherhood, would have,
brought to these duties the intellect, courage
patience, endurance, and administrative
ability which, had they been possessed in
any very high degree by the mothers of the
present race OF newspapers scribblers, would
have given better and more honest set Of
journalists to the world
Had We the control of a newspaper, We
would follow the example of our honored
friend, Geo. W. ChildS, Esq, and notify
every aspirant for literary honors employed
by us, that tbs moment his pen was turLed
in abuse and sarcasm on any class of wo-
men, whether 'old maids" clearinghouse
keepers, "mothers-in-law,' or "strong-
minded women" he should take himself
and his cheap wit where it might be in de-
mand. This is what Mr.. Childs does-all
honor to him who never forgets that the
loving heart on which his head first rested
and the tender arms that EMBODIED his help
less infancy were those of a woman, and
who, holding all womanhood sacred through
these membranes, will allow no scorn of
the sex TO find expression in the columns of
the Public Lsdga.-Ihladelphia Sunday Re

American Girls,

Good, beautiful creatures, full of gener-
obs and tender impulses, but extremely
unfortunate in their education and sur
rOundings. The practical moHey-getting
part of life is set aside for the BOYS; they
are the beings fitted and trained, as well as
may be, for the battle which all human
kind must encounter. And vet life often
presses as heavily upon girls as upon
bows, upon women as upon men. The sexes
have the same desires, hopes, aspirations,
feelings but the gentler sex is denied
nearly every opportunity. How hard the
struggle some girls make to gain an indie
pendent fOOthold in the world. If, In the
contest they lose little OF the peach

Call Things BY Their Right Name

DIR. Talmage, in the Christian at Work,
condemns the practice $50 prevalent among
many of the daily journals of reporting
crimes in facetious and reckless language
He offers this suggestion:
We submit TO our editorial friends of our
great metropolitan journals that the issue.
here are too vast to be overlooked. They
ought TO require their reporters to call
things by their right names, and to treat Of
serious things in serious style. In the
name of Christian civilization, We protest
against allowing the deeds that stain an i'm.
mortal soul to be dismissed in the passing
joke. As to families where this habit Is in
dulged in-and We are sorry to know there
are such-we have only to say that, be the
abstract teachings in such a household what
they may, it matters little if you hold the
Bible in the hand while with the lips YOU
do the work of the devil.
