Pruning EyergreenS,

Upon pruning cvcrgrccns, Mr.. NJ. B.
Bateham, secretary ofthe Ohio Horticul-
tural society, writes as follows, what cx-
pcrts know, and what every person who
cutivatcs cvergrcens ought to know:
"Many people do not understand that
evergreen trees bear pruning as we'll as
most other kinds, and in many cases need
it quite as much. We often sec ever
greens quite too tall for their location,
and make u dwelling seem too low by
contrast Others are too spreading, their
branches obstructing pathway or shut
ting out a good view. Where 1t is desir-
able to check the. hcighth of such trees
as the Norway spruce, cut off the tip
Or leading shoot before it attains the
full hcigltll desired; then two or three
leaders willlprobably be developed in a
year or two, and tho tree will assume
a more dense and tlwarfish form. At the
same time all the side branches
can be shortened as much as is desired.
If done before the growth takes place in
spring, new buds will be formed at the
cuts, and several small branches in the
place Of each large one. removed. Pines
can also bf shortened in, but these only
form new shoots at the joints or whorls.
hence itssbest to.cut~ to- one of these. A
better way still, with young pines, is tc

q A Royal Fiddler.

Prince William of Prussia, the eldest
son Of the crown prince, and the future
emperor, has very great skill in play
ing the violin-a skill which he acquired
by taking lessons in private, without his
fathers knowledge, at Bonn, where he is
a student. Not long ago the crown
prince, who likes popular tunes, ordered
a Hungarian band now staying at Berlin
to play at onc'of his family gatherings.
During a. pause in the music; Prince
William asked the first violin player to
lend him his violin for moment, and
walking up quietly behind the crown
princess, who was engaged in convcrsa-
ton with some ladies, struck up one
Strauss waltzess n The crown princess
turned round TO sec where the music
came from. and was equally surprised
and delighted to find that it was her son
playing: playing so nicely, too, that she
and all the ladies applaudcd. He went
through a. variety of tunes, ,waltzcs,
student songs and quadrillcs, and on
leaving off and making his bow was re-
wardcd, not only with hearty applause
from the princess and ladies present, but
by words Of commentator from the
bandmastcr and the crown prince.
Modcstly discaiming any merit for him
self. he returned the violin to it's owner
with the words: Your violin plays very

The Value of Agriculture.

COmDOst For Roses,

Ifroscs do not grow satisfactorily, give
them good dressing of compost ofwhich
we'll rottcd cow manure forms principal
part. The more sandy the soil, the great
er may be the cow manure used. Cow
manure mingled with sand and rotted
sods, is one of the best manurcs for fore
ing gcraniums for bedding out. In fact
on all light garden soils it is a good tcrtil-
izer for about everything in the flower

A TrOika Party in Russia.

A. correspondent, writing from St.
Petersburg, says: This is the season tor
troika parties, had the pleasure of be-
ing invited to a party which was given
for one of the distinguished foreign visit
ors at the winter palace. There are, by
the way, 5000 people, including servants,
now staying at the palace. A troika is d
vehicle which / do not suppose is ever
seen out of Russia. It has two seats op
posite each other, each wide enough to
hold three persons. There is a tiny box,
into which the driver squcczcs by climb
ing over the horses. These latter are
larncsscd in u very peculiar way. One
in the middle is fastened to a pair of
shafts. and he trots, while on each side is
a kind Of independent horse, who gal
lops There are bells on the harness, and
one is supposed to spin along at the rate
of something like twenty miles an hour.
Once outside the city, with a clear road
ahead Of him, the coachman cmits a Sc
res OF warhoops, and starts the horses
off at sweeping pace, while the occu-
pants Of the sleigh keep him up to his
work by yelling at him at intervals. I
supposed they were calling him very bad
names, and was quite surprised when it
was translantcd to find the following en-
dcaring cpithcts had been used: go On,
my dovc!!' go on, my beauty!'' and so
on. The troika parties generally go
about half an hours ride from the city,
and there they all take a turn at the ice
hills. When / stood at the top Of the
hill and looked down that smooth prec-
ipicc Of ice, my heart failed me, but was
not allowed to back out, and with many
misgivings got on the sled and pitched
off the incline. There was a man who
went behind on skates and guided us. !
remember to have dreamed once that /
certainly l thought the dream was being
realized in the few seconds it took me to
descend that hill. Such a horrible feeling
of goneness as came over me hope never
to feel again. Yet people do this for
pleasure! It is like reading ac-
counts Of MURDERS; there is a
horrible sort of fascination about it.
In any case, it is the proper thing to 60
down the ice hills when one goes on a
troika party; so, of course, we did it.
Then we ull went into a sort Of rcstal-
rant, and after taking some hot tea we
listened to the songs Of the Bohemians
and watched them dance, wondering how
they all happened to be SO ugly. For
supper we had many national dishes
One was a soup made of bects, which
rejoiccd in the name Of 'batchuk,' or
something like that, and afterwald we
had bear steaks and asparagus. The
coming home was the most delightful part
of the excursion. Rushing through the
air with only the sleighbells and gay
voices to break the utter stiffness around
us, the snow fields stretching away On
either side, the stars shining brightly
about us and finally the Neva, across
(which we speed, the long row Of lights
up and down the river on the side Of the
city, the deserted streets, and then home
and distant clock striking five.

The tongue will sometimes make the
most awkward slips; it is told Of a clergy
man in one Of the towns near Boston
that he had given him to read from the
pulpit an announcement that ''thc
BelIlngham rpraying-band' would con-
duct at the evening meeting; but by some
strange perversity Of the unruly member,
the congregation were astounded with the
announcement that there would be a SER
vice by the "Prayingham belly-band!"
