The lover of plums may take heart
An experiment made by Canadian
fruit-grower shows that of eight plum
trees one treated to the fumes Of coal tar,
or gas tar as it is sometimes called, three
times week, bore q crop of smooth
plums, and the seven trees not 80 treated
had no plums hang on till maturity.
The year following he tried the expert
ment on the seven plum trees, and was
rewarded by full crop from each, while
the eighth tree failed entirely. He places
under each tree few corn cobs or chips
that have been dipped in coal tar, and in
the calm of evening, when insects are at
home, he treats them to smoke. He
thinks fumigation should begin as soon
as the fruit sets, and it should continue
until the fruit is fully developed. Here
is certainly encouragement to make war
on the little Turk that has robbed us so
long of our plums. It costs little to try

That the boy who is most afraid of the
girls is the first to be corralled in matri-
mony. That the little boys prefer boys
to girls. That they soon change never
to go back to their early love- That the
little girls love the girls best. That they
don't get over their preference as soon as
the boys do, some Of them never. That
women love the men because they love
everything they have to take care of.
That men love women because they can't
help it. That the wife loves her husband
so well that she has no thoughts for
other men, That the husband so loves
his wife that he loves all women for her
sake. That girls who have given over
all hopes of matrimony, or who never
had any, love to firt with married men.
That the married man is apt to think
himself all-killing among the fair sex.
simply because he has found one woman
fool enough to marry him. That home

the woman who does not marry does
better, nine times out of ten.

The Freak of Two Linnets.
from the Stockton Mail.

Several weeks ago a pair of innets
built nest in vine on the awning post
of house in the northern part of the
city. The post is in front of the front
door, and the nest is only about four feet
and half from the ground. The
strangest part of the affair is that the
female linnet Matched her eggs without
any apparent fear of the occupants of
the dwelling, and did not seem at all dis
turbed while the head of the family
leaned against the post and smoked his
pipe of an afternoon, with his shoulder
almost grazing the nest. Three young
innets were Matched few days ago.
One of them died and was taken away
and buried by its mourning parent.
The two surviving youngsters are thriv-
ing, and are fed by the old birds, which
seem very much at home. They fly to
and from the nest chirping merrily and
do not seem to have the slightest objec-
ton to the handling of their young ones
by the lady Of the house.

LAMB OUTLETS WITH CARROTS.
DANGEROUS Men.
From the Detroit Free Press


There are two classes of humorists in
this country that ought to be. sat down
on emphatically. One is the funny man
who points an empty gun around indis-
crilninately, and the other the genial
individual that rocks a row-boat to scare
the inmates The boat-rocker looms up
the graniest when there are some women
in the boat. It shows off his great
bravery and indicates that he cares very
little for marine dangers. His smiling
self-assurance, as he rocks the little craft
from side to side, stands out strongly
against their terror-s stricken demeanor as
they cling to the boat. The remedy for
this sort of funny business is to pick up
the nearest oar and knock the humorist
into the bottom of the boat. Don't be
afraid of hitting him too hard, his head
is thick. Argue the case afterwards,
when he lies at the bottom of the boat.
Then show him firmly, but kindly, the
error of his ways, and if he attempts to
dispute with you, have the oar handy.

THE BAKERS DAUGHTER.

She walks in beauty like the night
Of cloudless climates and starry Skies.
And lovely though STE is to sight,
She is not not lovelier than her pies.
The roses of Damascus blow ii
Their scents to far Arabian sands,
But sweeter is the kneaded dough
That steals the odor of her hands.

Nor pampered prince did e'er partake'

BY A POETS GRAVE

By G. P. D. ''++'
The Spring has come and gone,
Yet silent sleeps he on;
His poet-heart unstrred
By leaf or song of bird.
Though daisies dot the lea,
And blossoms crowd the tree;
Though earth responsive all
Awakes from Winters thrall,
And finds restored what Autumn had decayed,
No Spring tide reaches where the dead are laid.
The Summer calls in vain;
Not here he wakes again.
The south winds balmy breath
Wooes not the of Death
Not all the wealth of flowers
Not oil the sunlit hours
Making earth glorious,
Can bring him back to us.
And for his sake, but half is ours ween,
OF Summers goodness and its golden sheen.
Then pensive, Autumn come,
With woodlands bleak and dumb.
When garnered are thy sheaves,
And shed thy flowers and leaves
Come, yelled, his grave to greet
Who, laid at Natures feet,
Had listened rapt and long
To learn her matchless song.
Come, wall him, Autumn winds and weeping skies;
Moisten the sod where our dead darling lies.
Yet let him sleep, nor rave.
The boon idly crave,
That he might live again
In mortal strife and pain,
Though Joy to us it brought,
For him were dearly bought.
Then let him sleep, great heart,
Since but the grosser part
To dust is given, and where his spirit wakes,
The dawn of heavens eternal Summer breaks
AS though his sun be set
For us-a glory yet
Beams through our tears,
That al the after years
light and guide will be
A hallowed memory.
He liveth still-abeve,
And lives he in our love.
And though, alas, the cold grave lies between,
That love will keep his grave forever green.

licans not to send any delegates to the
convention at Chicago, but to cease
their party action IN our state and joiu
hands simply AS citizens of Texas-with
any party proposing fair and liberal
legislation for the benefit OF Texas
Nothing could be more fair than his

equally with the whites; they do and
must enjoy all civil and political rights
equally with the whites they are en-
titled to respect according to their in
dividual merits. We want no more
secession, We want good government.

to listen to governor Davis, and will
