A Dandy.

Thackeray's idea of a dandy is sup
posed to be given in the following
note lately printed in newspaper of
Hull England my dear Edward
A dandy is an Individual who
would be lady if he could, but as
he can't does all that he can to show
the word he's not a man. That is
my idea at any rate. To eliminate
in a dandy is to my mind almost AS
absurd AS leading a life in which the
world fast comes in. No! Endeav-
. or to prove a respectable memhera4 If
society-not an eyesore to those " h /,
lead a modest, manly life. Many
affairs good, sound and secure-are
open to you power of them, in
deed. When l have more time to
spare and when my own health is
better l will write at length and state
my views. Ever yours sincerely,

monest American trees, to be obtain

will, with the branches, render a
place as picturesque and beautiful, as
would some trees costing five times
that amount. Then, again, there are
few ways in which owners of homes
or of real estate can invest a few dol
lars at a greater profit, or at a mere
rapid increase of interest, than by
setting out few trees. A dollar or
two judiciously expended in this way
would, many a time in ten or twenty
years, or perhaps even in five. add as
many hundreds to the selling value
of house or lot, as there had been
single dollars invested in the begin
ming. Al least, such has been pleas
ing experience in thousands of cases
in the past, and no doubt it will be
true in maIy more in the future.

mental trees. Sugar or Rock naples
have the advantage of afferding
amusement to children, or their
elders, in gathering maple sap from
the larger trees in early sprlrg
while Silver maple, with their spread
ing branches and rapid growth. are
also favorites with others. For plant
ing along the road side, or near the
house, naples are sometimes prefer
red to elms on account of their being
nearly entirely free from the attacks
of caterpilIars or insects. If planting
shade trees of the larger habits OF
growth near a house, then suitable
distance is usually from fifteen to
twenty feet out. The south and west
sides. but especially the southwest
side, of house. should usually be
pr ,tected in this way, so as TO shield
the heuse from the summers sun
during the early afternoon.
