stairs. The committee has made ap-
p'ication at many different labor agen-
cies, but without much success.
Yet the pay was not too meagre. The
model is assured FIVE hours employ
ment day tor.a month, at fifty cents
the hour; and if his or her figure is par
ticularly fine, longer engagement Is al.
MOST certain. Recently, however, less
diff iulty has been encountered by the
committee. AS the demand becomes
known the supply increases. The model
is placed, in whatever attitude the com.
mittee sees fit, upon platform covered
with green cloth, at one end of the room,
Behind the platform is a background oil
some neutral tint. The students choose
places by lot, and being ranged around

ing Is different.
The advantages OF the League are
great, and its expenses are not light. Ii
costs the members, in addition to their
annual fee, $35 the season, and ap-
plicants pay $50 for eight months.
There is "Sketcn-class," also, which
meets every afternoon from A to
O'Clock, composed mostly OF students
from the Antique School at the
Academy. At each session some one OF
the class poses for the benefit of the
rest. The ordeal is often too much for
some of the young ladies, who after a
few moments trial f1y precipitously ly
from the room. The League at present
numbers about fifty members, but as the
season advances IL is expected that the
applications for admission will increase
This organization has also its social
side, ana during the winter soirees and
small parties are not infrequent at the
rooms.

BURSTING OF BARK.

1t Is not uncommon in The spring Il
| find free-grOWing young nursery treei
| seriously injured by a splitting and sepa
rating OF the bark near the ground. The
slit will be TWO to four inches long, anC
the bark is often loosened to the eXten
of the circum ference. AS the lips o
lOOsened bark dry, they cape open more
and more, leaving the surface OF the
wood beneath fully exposed to dry wind
wet and decay. This injury is usually
but mistakenly spoken OF as "sur
scald"-an effect of hot sunshine sud
denly thawing a frozen stem.
But 1t is often seen in the north and
east as we'll as on the south and easl
sides OF the stem. II is evidently caused
by the expansion of the watery sap oil
the camblum, on being converted into
ice. 1t is never seen on trees from which
the leaves have nearly all fallen, and
this is because the leaves do not fall
until the flow of sap has subsidized, and
the new wood begins to harden aud dry
to the condition OF the winter sap.
Although we do not often see the hurt
until it becomes very obvious in the
spring by gaping open, it takes place
only IN the fall, at the time OF the first
keen frOsts, and as already said, only
late growers, which retain their leaves
latP, are LbDl6 u IL. Inc apple OIL SuCu
sorts shows 1t most frequently, probah-
ly because the bark is not very tough or
elastic. The cherry is often severe
sufferer.
Ii the damage occurs as early as in
October, we often find in the spring that
it has been repaired by natural exuaa-
ton Of prepared sap, SO that the exposeu
wood has been sealed over by "a very
thin brown film OF cambium tissue,
which, although not finished smooth and
vanished like the completed bark, yet
answers its purpose OF protection 10 The
wood against losing moisture from with
in, or receiving too mucn moisture from
without.
1t is like the thin and scarcely percer-
tible 1lm which Oozes from WOUNDS
made by pruning in September, or early
in October, and which prevents the lace
of the cut from CRACKING in assures,
such as are seen on wounds made by
winter pruning if left long imp. otectel
by waterproof coating. All that is
neces sary to save trees affected by the
splitting and separating of the bark is
to look for the cases in November, tie
the bark down, and cover with eartD, or
with Il strip If wax, like a wound made
