THE CARE OF CHILDREN's HAIR.-How
often the soft, hossy hair OF children is
seen crimped, pinched and carried, and
nothing is SO injurious to the ultimate
health of the hair as this sort of treat
ment. Wee creatures of three or four
years and even younger, are arraved in
curl pape.s hy afiectionate and admiring
mothers who are bent upon making the
children charming, and wn2 do not stop
to consider how far they may be defeat
ing their own ends by the actions. or how
much pain they may be inficting on the
objects of their fond solicitude. An
authority on that subject says, "Up to
the age Of six or seven children retain
what is called their baby hair" which is
injured, not improved by cutting. In its
soft and delicate sickness, it is like the
frst plumage of a young bird, and is quite
different from the harsher hair which sue
eeeds 1t. If the hair curls naturally it
looks charming dressed in that fashion.
but putting it into papers is sure to in lure
it and pull it out by the roots. The use
OF curling irons is still more objection
able; anything which tansles and cuts
the hair Is bad in the extreme, and it is
to be regretted that mothers draw so
heavily upon the capital OF their chill
drens hair, instead of using the yearly
increasing interest of its beauty and
value. One disastrous result arising
from the prevalent custom of allowing the
halr to How uncontined down the shoul-
ders has been in some cases disease of the
spine or other III of kindred nature.

Is non-conduetor the constant warmth
OF 1t about the neck and shoulders be-
comes weakening agency that betrays
itself IN some miserable form The scaln

PLANTING TREES-About twelve years
ago gentleman engaged in business in New
York city purchased farm in the interior
of that state, and set about improving it in
accordance with his own tastes and notions
The farmers about him at first laughed in
their sleeves at his attempts at book farm.
ing, and predicted certain failure as the re-
suit of his experiments Being an admirer
of the beautiful his first move was to sur
round his place with shade trees, and to
give orders for their careful attention and
culture He next employed the columns of
the local paper to prove to his neighbors
the advantages of trees, not only for shade
and shelter, but also as a means of protec-
tion against storms a circular was printed
and distributed, setting forth the matter
more fully, and giving directions as to what
varieties to plant, and how to care for them
after being set. Meetings were called, and
the subject discussed, until at last the neigh
borhood caught the spirit of progress, and a
tree planting mama set i'll. The highways
were adorned for miles. and yards hereto
fore bare of shade were now adorned with a
bounriful supply And the good influence
ct that mans example spread, until the lead
ing roads IN the whole town were converted
into avenues of shade, and an unattractive
village transformed at length into one of the
most lovely towns in central New York. A
short time since the place was visited by
gentleman from this city-a son of the party
who first led the way in tree planting and
it was with difficulty that he recognized the
spot. The old farm, and the neighbors'
farms, and the village streets were adorned
with graceful elms and naples from twenty
to thirty feet in height Strangers had
heard of the place, aud attracted by its
beauty had chosen it for their home, and
fine residences now graced the shady ave
nues. The old farm, which his father had
purchased for Sll 600, has been since re-sold
for 10000, and like advance in property
had taken place throughout the town Now
this gentleman "builded better than he
knew" We doubt whether with all his far.
sightedness, he ever expected such results as
have followed from his efforts.

PRUNING AT MIDsUMHER--t Is many
years since, from our own experience We
recommended people to prune at midsummer,
although we knew it was opposed to the
views Of many eminent horticutnrists. AT
that time IL was regarded as bold lnnovat o
on established rules and We have often s;nce
seen articles 10 show that Summer pruning
must be wrong. The reasoning by when
this is supported is no doubt very good IL
does seem by the reasoning We have referred
IN. that il ought ia he wrong 10 prune at
that season but on the other had We nave
the evidence of oar own senses not ohiy lha'
no harm but absolute good resulted HUM 'ne

are two sides to every sto'y-two s'ueS ~
winter pruning and TIVE sides TO summer
pruning. Few If these horticultural operf-
tions are unmixed good or unmlNed evli- In
any case what we have to accomplish is 10
he gained, sometimes at little expense oi
GOOD points-cood if we are after some other
object. So III this summer pruning question
1t is said by persons whom the whole horu-
cultural community respect, that winter
pruning strengthens while summer pruning
weakens trees :" and if one were to deprive
tree of the whole Of its foliage this would
probably be true enough to work serious ln-
jury. 1t is on the principal on which noXi-
ous weeds are destroyed. Dcnuded OF every
leaf as fast as one appears, plant is often
killed in one season. Bnt may tins not be
different when only few branches are taken
off The remaining leaves and branches
have more food at their disposal. What was

be divided among Line hundred. But We
are not disposed TO enter into these minute
points of physiological science. 1t is enough
for practical men To know that the cutting
awav of few branches has never been
known to work any serious injury; while the
ease with which the wound heals over, Is III
striking contrast with the long time 1t takes
. winter wound to get new coat of bark
over it. We have seen IN a vigorous healthy
tree stout branch of two inches in diane
ter taken off in which the new bark nearly
covered the stump in two years In winter
the same spot would have been several years
in closing over, and perhaps the parts would
decay first, and thus lay the foundation OF
future disease in the tree. So well is this
known, that III many places where winter
pruning is practiced to any grelt extent, 1t
is not unusual to have shelIac or some other
composition ready to paint over the wounds,
to keep out the weather until 1t shall have
closed over by the new bark. OF course a
heavy loss of foliage would be serions loss
to tree but it Is very rare that any tree
has been so much neglected as 20 need the
half OF even the fourth of its branches taken
off in summer time But there are in many
cases branches here and there along the
trunks Of trees which is an advantage, and
in such cases summer pruning will tell good
tale.

Gov. Drew, who has been in Wash

Gen. Aspinwall and his associates
have formed company TO construct it,
and have taken out papers under our
general corporation act. They want a
special charter, and ask for something
that the state cannot grant under our
constitution. For instance, they ask
exemption from taxation, but our con.
stitution forbids that
Correspondent-What will be done
about it?
Gov. Drew-This company will have
to accept such II charter as the state
can grant. or new company will have
to be formed that will do that, 1t Is
probable, think, that the present COM
pany will assent TO that.
Cor.-And what about the extra ses'
sion of the legislature
Gov. D.-Should the enterprise pro
gress as we hope it will, it will be heces'
sary to convene the legislature IN extra
session in order to grant the charter
You see our legislature does not mee'
in regular session until January, looI'
and the parties who propose to con,
suuct the canal DO not want to delay
until then. The work proposed lie'
exclusively in Florida, and 1t Is tor The
state to grant a charter. Some papers
have spoken o. congress granting "
