PRUNING AN OLD ORCHARD.-It is i'm
possible to give more than general direc-
tions. Every person interested in the cul-
tivation of an orchard should possess some
one OF the many cheap and really good
works on the subject. AS to the general
health of the tree it makes no difference
when it is pruned, one season is as good as
another, although if the object is to secure
large crop of fruit the next year, prune
the year before in the latter part of the
growing season; but if the aim is to pro-
mote growth of wood, then prune any time
after the leaves have fallen and before they
put out again. Cut off all dead and dying
limbs, all suckers and sprouts from the
base and from among the branches of the
tree; take off branch always which crosses
or rides another, and whenever one is par
allel to another and near to it take out one
of them. These rules observed will prob
ably thin the tops of the trees as much as
it is best for one year. 1t does not harm
tree to take off a large limb. But at what
ever season the pruning is done it is we'll to
have pot of paint OR of varnish, made by
dissolving gum shellac in alcohol, and a
day or two after pruning, when the wound
has become little SCARED, SO that the ap-
plication will adhear, brush over the larger
wounds. 1t prevents rotting, and preserves
the suction power of the tree.

INVENTION OF SUSPENSION BRIDGES.

The most remarkable evidence Of the me-
chanical science and skill of the Chinese at
this early period is to be found in their sus-
pended bridges, the invention of which is
assigned to the Han dynasty. According
to the concurrent testimony Of all their his
torical and geographical writer's, Shang-
leang, the commander in chief of the army
under Kaou-tsoo, the first of the Hans, un-
dertook and completed the formation of
roads through the mountainous province of
Sheu.se, to the west of the capital. Hither-
to its lofty hills and deep valleys had rem
dered communication difficult and circui-
tous. With body of 100, 900 laborers he
cut passages over the mountains, throwing
the removed soil into the valleys, and
where this was not sufficient to raise the
road to the required height he constructed
bridges, which rested on pillars or abut-
ments. In other places he conceived and
accomplished the daring project of suspend
ing bridge from one mountain to another
across deep chasm. These bridges, which
are called by the Chinese writers, very ap-
propriately, ''fying bridges" and repre-
sented to be numerous at the present day,
are sometimes so high that they cannot be
traversed without alarm. One still existing
in Shen-se stretches four hundred feet from
mountain to mountain, over a chasm of five
hundred feet. Most of these flying bridges
are so wide that four horsemen can ride on
them abreast, and balustrades are placed on
each side to protect travellers. 1t is by no
means improbable (as M. Panther sug.
gests), that, as the missionaries in China
made known the fact, more than century
and half ago, that the Chinese had sus-
pension bridges, and that many of them
were of iron, the hint may have been taken
from thence for similar constructions by
European engineers TAornton's History
Of China.

W0MAN'S OPINION OF SURF BATHING.

Let me describe the sensation; and, as l
am woman, own just the truth as to this
fashionable diversion. First, there is the
undressing in the bath house-a closet
hardly big enough to turn about in; for no
lady prepares for bathing at the hotel before
going down to the beach. You feel sure
somebody sees you through the cracks in
the imperfect planks, and you get red and
nervous with fear and shame. Then the
ridiculous dress. Why, it is Bloomer cos
tune, short pants and blouse, making a
guy of the prettiest woman, and a fright of
nearly all. The bit of mirror only shows
how absurdly your head looks in the coarse
sundown hat, and you know you are sure
you cannot face the curious and idle specta-
tors on the shore in such arig. Then comes
tap on the door, and care you ready?"
gives no more time for cogitation. You
open the door and step out on the platform
to join your companions, self.convinced
that if ever in your life you have acted and
looked like an idiot now is the time. You
cross the sands and make an advance into
the first breaker. Oh what chill creeps
through your whole body; how deathly
cold-and you see another breaker coming.
You catch the rope and await the consequ-
ences, while your companion says, ''Cour-
age," in that slow, rasping voice which
means that something dreadful is coming.
And it has come sure enough. The white
capped wave has gone over you in one blind
ing, smothering mass. Your eyes, your
ears, your nostrils are full of it, and a rain
of spray comes down from your broad
brimmed hat to blind you as you feel the
sands washing out from under your feet
with the retiring wave. When you can
see, you know that another breaker is COM
ing to oyerwhelm you. 1t looks like
white capped demon that has gathered all
its force to drown you and dash you up on
those yellow sands that look so invitingly
dry at this present moment ''Now for it,
shouts somebody, as the were goes over
you, and in twinkling your feet are where
your head should be. You grasp at the rope
and wonder if the undertow will take you
out before you can be rescued and set on
your feet again. Assistance comes just in
time to be whipped and tossed again for a
few moments; then you walk out as best as
you can, clinging to the rope all the time,
in the most depressed and crest-fallen con-
dition. Even the joy of being on the dry
sands does not compensate for your forlorn
appearance; and you know that Smith and
Brown are laughing, as you pass them, at
your dripping garments. If it was an Or
deal to 60 down to the water in this wretch
ed dress, what is to face crowd of grinning
idiots as you return ? The only comfort
possible under such trying circumstances is
to remember that you can laugh in return
when they bathe, and that you will not be
recognized by your best friends in your
present costume.

The following story is told of George Sand.
A visitor, M. Baker, had passed week at
