Rules in Pruning.

In prise essay on the philosophy oi
pruning J. F. White, Boone County,
Mo-, gives the following rules in
pruning:
First-Always leave an inch of wood
beyond their terminal bud, and let the
cut be on the opposite side from the
bud.
Second-Always cut upward and in a
sloping direction.
Third-Prune 80 as to make but few
wounds, and cut the surface as smooth
as possible.
Fourth-In cutting out an old branch
prune even to the stem, that the wounds
may heal over quickly.
Fifth-Prune so as to obtain the
quantity of fruit desired from the
smallest number of shoots.
Sixth-Never prune when the vines
are frozen.
Seventh-Never prune during the
months of March, April or May, as
pruning then will cause bleeding and
an unnecessary flow of sap.
Eighth-Let the general autumnal
pruning take place early in October, as
soon as the gathering of the fruit will
permit.

A DEAF MUTE's Door TENDER
Henry Hardness, deaf mute, describ-
ing the scene at his silver wedding
Tuesday night, at his residence in South
Tenth and Fourth streets, Williamsburg,
pointed to his dog, explaining that he
acted as doorkeeper.
"I've had the animal" he signed,
"over sixteen years. He is as good as
a servant. When ever the door bell
rings he catches me by the trousers. and
when he is sure I've noticed him he
trots to the door. follow and let my
friends in. Last night we were both

Logging i'm Nevada.

A chute is laid from the rivers brink
up the steep mountains to the railroad,
and while we are telling it, the monster
logs are rushing. laundering, flying,
leaping down the, d1clivity. They
come with the speed of thunderbolt
and somewhat of its roar. A track of
smoke and fire follows them-ire struck
by the friction with the chute logs.
They descend the 1, ZOO feet of the chute
in fourteen seconds. In doing so they
drop 700 feet perpendicularly. They
strike the deep water with report that
can be heard mile distant. Logs fired
from a cannon could scarcely have a
greater velocity than they have as the
foot of the chute. The average veloc-
ity is over 100 feet in second through
out the entire distance, and at the in
slant they leap from the mouth their
speed is 200 feet per second.
A sugar-pine log sometimes weighs
ten tons. What missile How the
water i5 dashed into the air. Like a
grand plume of diamonds and ralnbows
the feathery spray is hurled to the
height of 100 feet. It forms the grand
est fountain ever beheld. How the
waters foam and seethe, and lash against
the shore! One log, having spent its
force by its mad plunge into the deep
waters, has foated SO as to be at right
angles with the path Of the descending
monsters. The mouth of the chute is
perhaps fifteen feet above the surface of
the water. A huge log, hurled from the
chute, cIeaves the air and alights on the
floating log. You know how bullet
glances; but can you imagine a saw
log glancing? The end strikes with a
heavy shock, but glides swiftly past for
a short distance, then with crash like
the reverberation of artillery, the falling
log springs vertically into the air and
with curve like rocket falls into the
water, long distance from the log it

Footprints in the Sand.

Prof. Joseph LIE Comte, of the Uni
versity of California, has examined the
footprints which have lately attracted
attention at Carson, Nevada. He says
that the strata exposed in a quarry
consist of heavy bedded sandstones,
alternating with thin layers of sha lie.
The stone has been removed down to
an even stratum of shale which forms
the floor. The whole area thus cleared
is literally covered with tracks of many
species of mammals and birds. LIE
Comte concludes that they were made
in the early age of mans existence, but
he does not believe that any of them
are the imprints of human feet, though
some may possibly be so. Those OF
gigantic elephants are unmistakable,
and others are of extinct species of
birds

THE SORT OF PEOPLE THAT ONE
MEETS AT DANCES.

MEETS AT DANCES.
THE DEBUTANTE,
Who thinks the world all roses
Who loves at sight the first man who pre-
| poses;
Believes that each admirer is sincere,
And cannot bear that men at love shoul
sneer.
The NEAT Young MAN,
With high well-starehed collar,
And expectations Ready cash, dollar
Who dances like a well-made dance-ma
chine,
wears a most depressed indiferen
| men.
The KNOWING GIRL,
Who's waltzed through several seasons,
Not married yet But then she has he
reasons.
Who's always dressed with cIsic that make
| girls jealous;
To please her partners this one is mos
| jealous.
| THE MAN OF YEARS,
No longer pleased with folly,
Who thinks that dancing's good but sup
| per's jolly.
| Prefers to spend his time in conversation
With perhaps, to sweeten 1t, the least fir
tation.
| The CLEVER GIRL,
Who's great on education,
Whose talk is lofty and of long duration,
Who scorns frivolity, neglects her clothing,
Loves Women's Rights, and looks on men
with loathing.
THE NERVOUS MAN,
Who stands up in a corner,
The very image of new Jack Horner;
The sort of man who asks (whilst shyly
glancing
At his fair partnsr), care you fond of
dansng?"
TIE PRETTY GIRL,
Of whom men ask. "Who Is ahs2'
And women murmur that she's far too
gushy;
Of whom few guess, who meet her winsome
glanees,
She has heart, thing apart-from
dances.
The TAME Young MAN.
Who talks about the weather,
And hopes your step and his go well to-
gether;
Agrees to every single word you utter,
Can't dance bit, and then begins to stutter
THE ANXIOUS GIRL,
"Not been out much BEFORE"
But very willing to go out much more;
hn oba'c tad tn
grateful,
are hateful.
TIE FLIRTING MAN,
Who falls in attitudes,
Talks to each girl of love-in platitudes;
Looks ling ring looks which seem to breathe
devotion,
The FAST YOUNG MAN,
Who drops in for an hour,
Who generally wears some large white
flower;
Who quotes from comic songs, and smells
of smoking,
And has great propensity for joking.
THE onArrno~.
Who sits with smile so weary,
To her dance must be thing right
dreary;
Who beams upon young men with lots of
money;
For poor young men her looks are not so
ssHnny.
The GENERAL CROWD.
The average man and maiden,
With never too much brain or beauty laden;
But he will see, who at these lines once
glances,
The sort of people that one meets at dances.

SKILL.-The original Hermann is
dead, but his name and skill seem to
have been acquired by performer now
travelling in the West. He goes to the
largest market in every large city and
draws crowd by taking gold coin out
of eggs and apples, live mice from
cabbages, and watches from the dealers
clothes. These feats make great deal
of talk, and help to fill his hall in the

c4 AN IMPORTANT DrClsIoS.-Monoay
afternoon last u decision of much imDor-
taace was rendered by the Supreme Court
of this State. The facts are as follows:
In lSGG the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail
road was chartered by the Legislature OF
wes: Virginia, and IN their charter was
a provision eXemptiuS the ROAD from tax
alton until it's net earnings should DC sur
ricient to pay IL dividend of 10 per cent on
its CAPITAL stock. The road was COM
nenced soou after, and the work proseeu-
ted rs funds could be obtained, and final
" completed. No sttempt was made to
vollect taxes on the road-bed, rolling
stock or other property of the Company
until 1879, when the State Auditor, under
the power vested in him, assessed the en-
tire property of the Company, ana sent
the list 10 the several counties for co:lec-
ton. Immediately the Company hied
petetiOn for an injunction IN the Cirenit
Court of Ohio county. and after an arSu-
mcnt, in Which, was engaged the best le-
gal tslent OF. the State, the Court decided
the exemption valid, and perpetuated the
Injunction. The case was Immediately
appealed by the State, and was elaborate
" argued last March, and on Saturday
The Court decided the case, Judge john
son delivering the opinion. The Court
holds that the Act of the Legislature CIV
ing the exemption is Unconstitutional, be-
Ing in violation Of the provision which
says that taxation shall be equal and uni
form throughout the State. -.
The amount involved in the shape Of
back taxes is nearly $4,000, and the
taxes 10 W hich the road will hereafter be
subjected will amount to about S25, 900
per year.

HON. DANIEL Ii. LUCAS.
JEFFERSON COUNTY, May LIST, 1882.

JEFFERSON COUNTY, May ISL, 1907.
From time TO time there appears In the
REGISTER kind words of Mr.. Daniel B. I.u-
cas-. earnestly urging him for Congress
all this in its way is good and shows that
the people are interested, but what is real
lv wanted is work. If the people want
Mr.. Lucas TO represent them in the 4eth
CONGRESS and are earnest in their wish
and desire 10 make reality OF it, they
must say emphatically TO the convention
fxers. we want Mr.. Lucas, he is our
choice and we will have none other. The
people must enter heartily into this agree
ment on Mr.. Lucas and he will be elected,
and then only.
When Mr.. Lucas friends saw proper to
announce his name for Congrers, the an
nouncement was hardly made when II was
met with abuse from certain quarters ana
i'm private and public conversation he is
charged with selfishness. Mr.. Lucas IS
not a subject OF abuse, politically or So
cially. his private life Is as pure as pure
can be he has always without nlnchlng
held to the doctrines of the Jeftersopian
Democracy, lie has fought the fight OF the
people when Others Jagged and faltered,
he fought when others failed. his sELF-
IsuNEss Is OF THAT ORDER WHICH MADE
HIN SACRIFICE HIS OWN PREf LhhENi fon
THE GOOD OF HIS PARTY and promote the
welfare of others who repaid his generos-
lty with ingratitudc and this CLASS are his
bitter opponents now. Let the people
speak out and say TO the convention ma
nipulators in language not 10 be misun-
derstood, we want Mr.. Lucas and You
must not elbow him out of the way for
political HAwKs who have been iully paid
for their work Gf they ever did any, we
want the nominee OF our choice and have
him we must and will. We have paid of
all obligations promised or implied.
Let us put Mr.. Lucas in Congress that
we may lave one fearless advocate OF the
peoples interests. His great ability as a
lawyer and thinker will soon give West
Virginia place in the National l'ssisla-
ture where she will be felt and heard. l
have no intention of detracting from the
merits of any aspirant for Congress, but L
do insist that the people want Mr. Lucas,
and his claims shall be recognized by the
machine fellows. The people demand 1t
and its well always to heed the people:
