"Speaking of mind reading and magne-

Gently returned from European trip,
related an occurrence wherein there
surely seems to be something more than
mere whimsicality or caprice. A lady
we'll known in Boston is given as
authority for the story, the incident
having happened to herself. She. some
time after the murder Of Jennie Cramer,
in New Haven, was stopping at Boston
hotel, and being among the recent arri-
walls, was placed at table devoted to
those guests of the hostelry. She was
seated at table directly opposite quite
ne.looking man, who seemed per.
fectly gentiemanly and polite. Upon
sitting down to the table the first day
she found she could not eat anything,
and her appetite always failed her when
ever shesat down to table with this man
opposite her. For several days in sue
cession when sitting at the table she felt
sick, weak and oppressed with fear, and
was at loss to explain the singular
coincidence. After thinking the matter
over for some time she found that she
always ate heartily on the few occasions
that the polite gentleman did not cit
at the table with her. She spoke to the
waiter, desiring another table, and
explaining CONFIDENT ally the reasons
for which she asked the change. In
accordance with her request she was
placed at another table, and ever after
wards ate very heartily and with none
of the sense of oppressiveness which
formerly came over her at the other
table. She went away for some time and
came back to the same hotel. The
waiter recognized her and mentioned
the facts connected with the change of
eating places. She had almost forgot.
ten the affair and wondered why the
waiter called the matter up again. He
asked her if she knew the gentleman
who had exercised over her such pc.
culiar influence. She stated that che
had not the faintest idea of the mans
character, knowing only that she in
stinctively shrank from him. The
waiter then informed her that her com
panion at the table was none other thar
the celebrated Walter Malley, who, with
his brother, was accused of the murder
OF Jennie Oramer."

Best Age to Pinnt Fruit Trees.

From pretty long experience in
planting fruit trees we have come to
the conclusion-and this is not the first
time we have printed it-that two. year
old fruit trees are more certain to grow,
to assume good form, to become
vigorous and long-lived, than trees
twice as old. Indeed, we have seldom
succeeded we'll with trees more than
two years old.
Some years ago we sent to nursery
for some two dozens of pear and cherry
trees, and in the hurry OF writing the
order, not being able to 60 after the
trees personally, nothing was said about
the age of the trees. We only said :
"Send some good trees we'll branched."
We never saw more perfect lot of
trees, but they we're at least four years
old and some of them nine feet high.
They were planted carefully and cut
back severely, but only moderately at
first, to save them. The spring co Id
not have been more favorable for trans.
planting, and when the dry weather set
in they were frequently watered, which
doubtless saved the majority. Five of
the lot died. We do not remember
losing small tree. We repeat our con-
viction, therefore, that one and two ear
old trees are better in the end than
those older; and though we may have
to wait sometimes mot always longer
to get fruit, the trees are far healthier
and more productive and give more.
satisfaction.
We may add that several of these pear
trees. were pruned within from six to
ten inches of the main stock, resembling
when done half-closed upturned hand,
and it not only saved them, but they
are at this time in perfect health, grow.
ing finely. All fruit trees, to afford the
best satisfaction, should be of the age
here indicated, and if properly planted
and cared for, will be more hardy, Wig
orous and long-lived than trees of older
stock. The desire some people have of
getting fruit as quickly as possible is
not always realized by planting older
trees; and from the very fact that they
may bear earlier, will be vt the expense
of the health and growth of the whole
tree.-[Germantown Telegraph.
