Mulching Fruit.

It may not be generally known, es-
pecially by farmers or those engaged
III pursuits foreign to fruit growing,
that many varieties of fruit plants,
vines and trees require, to obtain the
best results, Il large amount of mulch
ing and manurilig. The grape vine is
a great feeder, requiring before plant
ing a deep, preparation OF tic soil,
good cultivation and frequent appli-
cations of manure to surface after.
Currtnts and gooseberrics require fire.
quent mulching to keep. out the blue
grass, keep down weeds, and to pro-
mote luxuriant growth. The DOolit-
tie black cap raspberry, which every
family should have in abundance, can
not be grown successfully OH amy soil
without heavily manuring, and should
be cultivated both ways, like corn,
and no tips allowed to grow. The
strawberry bed also requires frequent
top dressing of well-rotted compost,
and plants kept thin on the ground.
Cherry trees, old enough to bear, by
heavily manuring, will produce nearly
double the number of bushels, much
larger and swee;er, and from ten days
to two weeks earlier. 1t has been q
theory with fruit-growers, and has
generally been conceded, that apple
orchards, even when down i'll grass,
are better OFT withOutHmanure. e

A Worldly, Old Maids Advice.

From my safe position have watch
ed many husbands, my dear girls, and
can give you few hints Which NAV
be of service in selecting partner for
life. l shall confine my observations
to the small circle of men, such as /
have studied them around the tea-ta-
BILE. If o man wipes his feet Oh the
door-mat before coming into the room,
you NAV be sure he will make u good
domestic husband. Ii man puts his
handkerchief on his knees while taking
his tea, you may be sure he will make
a prudent husband. In the same wuv.
always mistrust the man who will not
take the last piece of toast, but prefers
waiting for the next warm batch. 1t
is not unlikely he will make u greedy,
selfish husband, with whom you will
enjoy no "brown" at dinner, no crust
at tea, no place whatever at home
The man who is very careful of his
own health is very apt to be careless
of yours. All his sympathy is ex-
pended on himself. Tue man who
watches the kettle and prevents it
boiling over, will not fail, my dcars,
in his married state, i'll exercising the
same care in always keeping the pot
boiling. The man who doesn't take
tea, ill-treats the cat, takes snuff, and
stands with his back to the fire, is
brute whom would not advise you
to marry under any consideration, Ell
thcr for love or money, but most de-
cidedly not for love. But the man
who, when the tea is over is discov-
cred to have had none, is sure to make
the best husband. Patience like his
deserves being rewarded with tho best
of wives and the best Of inothers-in-
law. When you meet with such a
man, do your utmost to marry him.

Engineering says that an old and
comparatively ittle-known work by
C. A. Tremtsuk, published at Bor-
deaux in 1912, gives some interesting
particulars of the steamers plying
about that time on tho Gironde and
the Garonne. One OF these vessels,
the Union, set to work in June, 1929,
had a compound engine constructs by
Hallette, Of Arras. This engine had
two inclined cylinders, the connecting
rods taking hold Of the same crank
pin. The cylinders had q diameter of
Is and 1873 inches, respectively, and
the stroke in each instance was 26
inches. The engine was run at 80 rev.
olutions a minute under pressure of
66 pounds of steam. Another exam
pie Of an early compound engine was
that which il 1912 was in use in the
steamer LIE Corsaile Noire. 1t was
built in 1887 by Fol. Sr., Bordeaux,
and had three oscillating cylinders,
two of them being 1918 inches in di-
ameter, with 1914 inches stroke, and
the third having diameter of 21.27
Inches with stroke of 80 inches. Tho
three cylinders acted. OH three differ
ent cranks. The two smaller cylinders
received the steam from the boiler ut
o pressure of "a pounds, and dis
charged it into an intermediate re-
ceiver, from which it passed to the
large cylinder, and then to the con-

Skin G3r0fffnD.

The medical faculty OF DanielSon-
vile, and in fact throughout the whole
of Winilam county, Connecticut, are
greatly interested in an experiment
OF skin grating which has been 4 ding
on there, and which has finally proved
O gratifying success. On the 31st of
December, 1878, Jesse, an eleven year
old son OF Mr.. Edwin Morgan, all in
fiuential citizen Of Canterbury, all ad-
jacent village, fell into u shallow vat
containing u solution of potash i'll
boiling water. lie struck on both
feet, the liquid coming nearly up to
his hips, and instantly the skin began
to peel off. With remarkable pres
ence of mind the lad leaped to the
floor, where he lay unconscious for
some time. 1t was found that the
flesh OH both legs had been SO horrl-
bly, and thoroughly boiled that no
cells remained for new skin to form
q grow tn upon. The bows life was
one of excruciating agony for months.
The scared members began to turn un-
der the body, and actually "dexed"
OF knit to the back OF his thigh. A
young physician, George j. Ross, of
that, town, finding that his older
brethren had given up the case as in
CufdUIC, dtlu Olle WHICH IAuSC SpCcClly
result in death, determined to attempt
the salvation of the lads life by skin
grating. He was '.pishcI and pooled
at" to use his own words, by the old
heads of the profession without Iner-
cy, but the boys parents imolnrin0
him To undcrtake the operation he was
finally induced to try it. Over two
Thousand gratis were used, the mother
of the child, noble hearted coach
man in the family, the lad himself
and many of the ncighbors submitting
portions of their cuticle for the oper-
alton. A prevailing desire Was mall
ifesteu to have the child live without
becoming cripple. Hundreds of
visitors focked to see the patient, and
implored DR.. Ross to try piece of
their: skin for the operation. The
pieces OF flesh were pulled OFT with
torceps, and were about three times
the size of pin. The process Of
grating is similar to that employed
in horticulture. One of the limbs
looked as though pitted with small
pox. The gratis grow fastest III the
spring months. One of them is put
on Il muscle, where it sinks i'll and de-
posts cell, after which the top
sloughs off. The legs arc nearly re-
stored to their normal and natural
functions, and the child Can walk q
short distance without q crutch, but
is still very weak from exhaustion
and emaciatiOn.

Funeral Eccentricities.

Ludovick Cortusius. an eminent
lawyer, who died at Padua on the 18th
of July, 1918, when upon his DEATH
bed forbade his relations to shed tears
at his funeral, and even put his heir
under a heavy penalty if he neglected
to perform his orders. On the other
hand he ordered musicians, singers,
pipers, tiddlers, of all kinds, to supply
the place of mourners, and directed
that fifty of them should march before
his corpse with the clergyman, play
ing upon their several Instruments.
For this service lie ordered each of
them half ducat. He likewise ap-
pointed twelve maids in green habits
TO carry his corpse to the Church of
st. Sophia, where he was to be buried,
and that they, too, as they went along,
should sing aloud; having, each of
them, as a rccompense, a handsome
sum of money allotted for a marriage
portion. All the clergy of Padua
marched before in long procession,
together with all the monks of the
convent, except those wearing black
habits, whom he expressly excluded
by his will, lest the blackness OF their
hoods should throw gloom upon the
cheerfulness of the procession.-Notes
