PRUNING FRUIT AND ORNAMENTAL
TREES.


We read about the proper time of prun-
ing trees, and especially the apple tree.
Some prefer fall, some mid. winter, and some
early spring but scarcely one recommends
the very best in our humble opiniou-midsuu.-
mer. Doubtless some old togies will open
their eyes and hold up their hands at such
an innoyotation and denounce it as an absur-
dityi but we think We will be sustained by
majority of the live men of the day.
II we desire to improve the form of
fruit tree and get rid Of some of the super
tluous wood, We should prune in winter;
but If we desire fruit and perfectly healed
stump, we should prune from the fifteenth
OF June to the twentieth of July. We
have done this often with the happiest re-
suits, The fruit buds form after this, aud
the operation in suddenly cutting off its
growth, produces buds while the winter or
early spring will produce only wood.
In pruning ornamental trees in midsum-
mer the bark, instead of receding from the
stump, grows over it, and in few years will
completely cover it and make a .per-
feet amputation, We have noticed this up-
on our own premises as we'll as upon those
OF others many times. This pruning is
done when the tree is taking it, midsummer
'siesta, and then wakes up, refreshed tor
another start, and The bark gradually steals
over the stump as if ashamed Of the shabby
looking exposure.
When the trees are in full leaf, and pre-
senIs Its full form to Us, We can see exactly
where the pruning should be done in OIL
der that while the overgrowth may be re-
moved, the symmetry OF the tree may be
preserved. Especially is midsummer pruu-
ing 20 be preferred, first, to produce buds
as before stated and second, when large
limbs are to be Temuyed.- Gcrmanfop7t

ALL ABOUT THE PULSE,

Every intelligent person should know now
to ascertain the state of the pulse in health
then by comparing it with what it was
when he was ailing, he may have some idea
of the case. Parents should know the nealth
pulse of each child, as now and then per-
son is born with remarkably slow or fast
pulse, and the very case in hand may be
of that peculiarity. An infants pulse is
40, child Of seven years about so; and
from twenty to sixty years it is 70 beats a
minute declining to 60 at fourscore A
beautiful grown persons pulse beats 20
times a minute, I here may be good health
down to sixty; but if the pulse exceeds
seventy there is a disease. The machine is
working itself out there is fever and in
fammation somewhere, and the body is
feeding on itself-as in consumption, when
the pulse is quick, that is over sixty, gradu-
ally increasing with decreased chances of
cure untll it reaches 10 or 100, when death
comes before many days. When the pulse
is over seventy for months, and there is a
slight cough, the lungs are affected.

HELPING THE PREACHER.

A sense of duty often causes some ludi-
crous .mistakes, as the following story will
illustrate Near Dumfries lived a pious fam
lily who had adopted an orphan who was
regarded as hali-witted. lie had imbibed
strict views on religious matters, however,
and once asked his adopted mother if she
did not think it wrong for the people to
come to church and fall asleep, paying no
better regard to the service She replied
she did Accordingly before going to
church next Sunday, be filled his pockets
with apples, One bald headed old man,
who invariably went to sleep during the
sermon, particularly attracted his attention,
Seeing him at last noddng and giving nasal
evidence of being in the land of dreams, .
he struck the astounded sleeper blow with
an apple on the top of his bald plate. The
minister and aroused congregation at once
turned around and gazed indignantly at the
boy, who merely said to the preacher, az be
took another apple in his hand, with So
Der, honest expression of countenance; you

snow storm at the time, and the track across
the prairie was wholly lost. As he did not
reach the end of his drive at the appointed
time it was assumed that he had lost his

BLOOMSBURY, PA. FRIDAY MAY l6 1879

Belle and Lucy returned home with that
conscious air of subdued triumph and inn
portance peculiar to engaged young ladies.
Having attained the end and aim of their
existence, there was nothing further for them
to hope or expect. From henceforth they
were to impose upon their laurels, floating
down the stream Of life with no thought or
care for anything but the present enjoyment.
Bellies capture was Wall street broker,
owning fabulous amount on paper. Lucys
was the son of millionaire, whose sole am
bition seemed to be to spend as quickly as
possible the money that his father had la
bored so hard to acquire They made no
attempt to disguise their surprise and disdain
when they heard of Josie's modest conquest.
Only farmerp shifted Mrs. Wilson.
Never did | dream that one of my daught.
ers would stoop to that But, suppose.
if you have your fathers approval you don't
care for mine
OF course, you cant expect US to visit
you, said Belle, loftily. The connections of
Charles Augustus are all of the highest and
most aristocratic character, and it couldn't
be thought Of
Certainly not echoed Lucy. "A wife has
to take the position of her husband, which
is something that you had better think Of
Josie had thought of it, and very happy
thoughts they were, too.
The financial disasters of the three years
that followed made quite change in the
surroundings of all the above, with the ex.
ception of josie and her husband.
Out of the wreck Of Mr. Wilson business
nothing was left but the honor and integrity
which shone all the more brightly from the
temporary gloom that shrouded him. His
wife took their altered fortunes very hardly
fairly fretting and worrying herself into the
grave, where she was laid few months af.
ter Penniless and untitled for anything
higher, the husbands of Belle and Lucy were
glad to accept positions, one as conductor on
city car, the other a third-rate clerkship
Josie does not see much of her sisters. but
many barrel of apples and crock of butter
find their way to them from the Manning
farm. Almost every pleasant afternoon
gray-haired, placid-looking old man can be
seen on the Western piazza of the farm
house, frequently with a grandchild on eth.
er knee. 1t is Mr. Wilson, who often thanks
God that one of his daughters married "only
a farmer"

BETWEEN TWO FAITHS.

Joseph f. w. Kaiser, son of Jacob Kai-
ser, cigar dealer of Broome street, Newark,
on April 27, 1877 was converted from Jud-
aism to Roman Catholicism, much to tho
chagrin of his father and other relatiyes,Uh
are all orthodox Jews. 1t seems that j, =
seph had been keeping company for some
time before that with pretty Catholic girl,
Miss Kate f. Worth, a member of St. Col.
umba's church, Rev. Father Reilly, on
Thomas street As the story runs, she
would not marry him unless he renounced
Judaism and joined hcr church, He did
so, as stated, Six weeks later on the 9th
OF June, 1877, the pair were married by
Rev. Father Petrard, an Italian priest at
tached to ST. Columba's S church. Meanwhile
Joseph's people were so greatly incensed
that they held mock funeral and buried
his clothing and other effects. The father
was particularly angered, and forbade Jo-
sepd's name to be mentioned in his presence
or in his house. Recently the young man
fell seriously i'll, and for several days past
has been gradually sinking into his grave,
victim to consumption. He lies on his
death bed at his home, No 95 Howard
street.
AN EXTRAORDINARY SCENE.
AT the house of the dying man Sunday
an extraordinary scene was witnessed While
the sorrowing wife and her relatives were
attending Joseph by his bedside, suddenly
his father and other relatives entered the
house. In the bedroom where Joseph lay
was small altar, with few lighted can
dies and crucifx. At sight of this the old
man turned his head and made contemp.
tuous motions. The father went to his son
and said
Joseph do you intend to die a Catho-
lie"
4 do, father replied the dying man.
Won't you come home and die in The
filth of your fathers-the faith of Abraham
and Isaac and j acob p
Never, was the reply of Joseph. The
father then muttered some maledction and
threatening to seize the body and have it
buried as Jew when Joseph died, left the
house, During all this great crowd col
lected in front of the house, the gathering
being part Jews aud part Catholics. The
police were notified to preserve order, but
beyond considerable loud talk nothing oc-
Cured Joseph was still alive Sunday
night.

INCREASE THE LAY.--A correspondent in
forms us that while on a visit in the fall to
a friend he was surprised to see the number
or eggs he daily obtained, He had but six
teen hens and the product per diem averaged
thirteen eggs. He had been in the habit of
giving on every alternate day teaspoonful
and quarter Of cayenne pepper, mixed with
soft food, and took care that each hen OBJ
tanned her share. The experiment of omit
ting the pepper was tried, when it was
found that the number Of eggs were reduced
each trial from five to six daily. Our cor
respondent belyes that the moderate use of
this stimulant not only increases the number
of eggs, but efectually wards off diseases to
which chickens are ubject.-ErcAaage.
