How to Set Crafts,

The season for grating may be said
to be from the LIST of April to June, the
time when the forces of nature are i'm
polling the upward flow of sap in the
tree. An expert says in the German
town Telegraph:
eve have set gratis the last day of
May with as much success as at any
other time. and we have known of
grating being done up to the Doth of
June. When understood-an 1t ought
to be an easy thing to learn-any one
can do his own grating. Yet due care
must be taken in all tho details to insure
growing.
"Stocks or limbs to be grated, not
over two inches in diameter, should be
cut off at the distance of four inches.
A fine saw should be used. Incline the
saw SO that the stump will shed the
rain. The bark must be uniniured.
With a sharp knife smooth off the
sawed stump. Take case knife, which
is as good as any, place it across the
heart of the stock, and force it down
with wooden mallet. We use a very
narrow screwdriver for keeping open
the split. Shape the scion wedge fash
ion both ways, keeping the bark intact.
We make a shoulder as far up as the
scion is shaved it is not so strong, but
better insures growth. The inside of
the bark of both scion and stock must
meet or cross, in order that the sap of
the two may commingle. Set the scion
at slight angle spreading from each
other. When the stock is small and
only one scion inserted, place piece of
wood on the opposite side of CORE
spending thickness. If the split does
not close up sufficiently, tie round a
cotton string to keep it tight upon the
graft. Cover with wax every part of the
cat wood and slit. In three weeks
time go over the gratis and rewax. if
needed. 1t is air and rain getting in
that destroy. Where the limb to be
grated is from two to four inches over,
it should be cut say six inches from the
tree, and from four to six scions may be
inserted"

A Brutal Skipper.

A skipper named Brand was recently
sentenced to death in England for killing
an apprentice in most inhuman man
ner. The apprentice, whose name was
Paper, was only fourteen years of age,
and had for some reason or other in.
spired an intense hatred in the captains
mind. The smack The Rising Sun left
Hull on the 10Th of December last with
Brand, the master, in command, and a
crew of five souls, including two boys,
Paper and Gates. When Paper came
on board, Brand was heard to say to
the wretched boy, ''Ill pay you out, !"
or III do for you when get you out
of the dock" The first day he con-
tented himself by beating the boy on
the face and neck with knotted rope
an inch and half thick. When they
got to the Dagger Bank, Brand found
that the trawl net was torn, and at once
settled upon the lad as the cause of the
mischief. The cruel master ordered
him to go forward for three days, which
meant to expose him to the incIemency
of the weather for that time. The skip
per then beat the boy in most inhuman
manner, and threw buckets of ice-cold
water upon him, forcing him to stand,
shivering and rumb, upon the bows prit,
pretending that he was fgurehead,
and to call out every few minutes,
Cuckoo! if [ had not been bad lad I
should not have been here" On Christ
mas eve new torture was devised, and
the wretehed creature was swung up to
the crosstrees by rope fastened around
his neck and arms. The crosstrees
broke, and the boy was stunned by bis
fall on the deck. The skipper lamented
the injury done to the woodwork, and
assuaged his grief by jumping upon the
body of the PROSTATE boy. Finally, on
the last day of the year, the boy died of
his injuries, and Brand persuaded the
crew, who had to a certain ex ent helped
him in his cruelty, to say that the lad
had been lost overboard. Papper's
parents were not satisfied with this
when the smack returned to Hull, and
searching Investigation WAS held, which
resulted in the confession of the crew,
and the cruel master is now under SEN
tence of death.

Railroad Earnings.

Says the Boston AdUertjser:: Let us
take single Gaze, imaginary of course.
The director of a railroad finds, from
Information which he has obtained in
his official character, that the receipts
of his road are smaller than usual In
formation so received is received for the
benefit of the stockholders, and to them
it belongs. But the director, acting as
such, publishes to his stockholders and
to the world at large a false statement,
which shows that the business of the
road has been more than usually profit
able. If, through long experience, men
distrust such statement, he gives it out
that he himself is buying largely into
the stock, which, in fact, he is selling
with might and main. This state of
things continues as long as he sees fit,
and at last comes the crash which may
ruin the shareholders, but must enrich
the director. For, even if his false
statement should unexpectedly be made
true by an increase of business, nothing
is more simple than to tell second
falsehood, and thus depress the price of
the stock. This sort of cheating and
thieving differs from the crime of the
common counterfeiter or thief only in
the amount of money involved but
there is good reason to fear that the
director of corporation who, without
regard to the interests of the share
holders whom he represents, makes use
of his position for personal gain, is re-
garded by large part of the public to
be, not as as thief or cheat ON large
scale, but as a clever business man.
Herein lies much of the evil, for when a
breach of trust is looked upon merely
as a shrewd business transaction. the
crime becomes dangerous, not only to
the criminal and his victim but the
whole community.

Strawberry Beds.

The soil of strawberry beds should
not be stirred in spring, or indeed until
after the crop is gathered, which will
prevent the fruit from being Foiled. AS
an additional precaution slight clean
mulch CT cut straw, tanbark, or other
similar material should be placed over
the surface, pushing it carefully close
to the plants aud under their foliage.
Strawberries are very fond of moisture,
especially when the fruit is setting and
growing, so that if slight stream of
water can be turned on the beds, and
thus irrigated once or twice week,
beneficial results are apt to follow,
especially during dry time. 1t is a
mistaken idea that this fruit does not
require rich soil, and that plenty OF
well-rotted manure will induce super
abundance of foliage but not CORE
spending return of fruit. Water por-
tion of the plants with weak solution
of liquid manure, and mark the differ
ence in the fruit produced by those In
contrast with the remainder of the bed.
After the fruiting season then Stir the
sell carefully. - Tribune.

Grape and Canister,

/ heard a soldier sheer the other day,
says M. Quad, at what he called " the
grape and canister taffy" of war. Stand
here with me on Powder Hill. Here
were massed twelve or fourteen guns,
and for half an hour they used nothing
but grape and canister, pouring their
doses into Cleburne, Cheatham and
Walker. Follow me down to where the
Confederates wero struck by this storm
of death. Here is a hollow into which
three hIllsides dip; it is a spot compris-
ing half an acre of ground. In this basin
that day lay the bloody fragments of
500 Confederates. Heads and limbs
we're torn off, bodies shattered, mon
bored with holes through which one
could thrust au arm. To the right were
scattered more Of the horrible fragments
to the left windows OF dead. Thirty
rods of brush fence was swept clean
away. Whole tops of scrub oaks were
cut off and the branches flung for rods
around. The odor Of death Is there yet,
and witnesses yet 1--we who felt the hor-
ror of that shower of death.

An Extraordinary Story.

A correspondent in the west of Eng
land writes to the Pail Mall Gazette
A remarkable affair is reported from
fashionable seaside town in the west.
About eighteen months ago respect
able artisan lost his wife, and being left
with several children he advertised for
a housekeeper. He received a reply
from ''widow," and after negotiations
by letter they came to terms. She re-
presented that she had been left
5000, but being DESTROYS of continu-
ing in service she had accepted the
present situation. In few weeks she
became her employers wife, the e3, 900
proving tempting bait. In the course
of short time gentleman who was
going abroad called on the family. He
wished, as an old friend of the lady, to
give her a present before leaving Eng
land, and was he accordingly represented
as having deposited e1, 800 in a local
bank to her account. Up to this time
the parties had been living in a respect
able terrace, but the lady now objected
to terrace" and a villa was taken.
In short time she expressed a desire
to purchase the villa they might as
well become their own landlord and
negotiations were accordingly COM
menced and the work of laying out
carriage drive, building stables, etc.,
was also begun. All this time letters
and documents" were coming and 60
ing from the house. Before, however,
the deposit for the villa was paid the
control of the fortune made over to
him, as had been arranged, but the wife
urged various excuses. Meantime q
creditor met at the house a solicitor
who had been engaged by the wife to
draw up the necessary documents, +"
AMI the result was visit of the legal
gentleman to town some miles off to
see a "Colonel" represented by the
lady as one of her trustees. No such
person, however, could be found, and
on subsequent visit to the Probate
Court of the county town to in
spect the wills of both her father and
late husband, who were stated to have
been clergymen of the county, no trace
of any such wills could be found. The
lady, finding that inquiries were beng
made, absconded, and the husband soon
discovered that she had run him into
debt to the amount of 970. The poor
man who had given up his employment
soon after his marriage, in view of the
fortune" is thus ruined, and much
sympathy is felt for him. The woman
is suspected to be the same person who
a few years ago, in a seaside resort in
the same county, took a large house,
furnished it deliberately as lodging
house, and after living in the best of style
for time and making away with some
of the furniture, suddenly disappeared.

As a Presiding Officer.

The st. Louis Globe says:-Those
who would learn how to run a political
caucus had better take note of Gen.
Sherman's style of presiding and con-
Quoting the machine at the army re-
union. Here it is:
The meeting will come to order.
All, yes [Nodding to an officer about
to rise. Gen. Hickenlooper moves the
appointment of Committee on
Credentials, taking a paper from his
left vest pocket. The committee will
consist of Gen. H1ckenlooper, Col. A,
and Major B. We must be speedy, in
arranging these details.
"Gen. Smith-Did 1 see Gen. Smith
rise?" A voice: "He's gone out for a
moment."] "WelI, never mind; it's
all the same. Gen. Smith moves the
appointment of a Committee on Resolu-
tions, and it will consist of taking a
list from his right vest pocket Gen.
So-andSo. Looks blank. That's
not the committee, either. This list I
just read is another committee, and it
will be moved later. Here's the right
one. Reads it. You see, gentlemen,
we get our young staff officers who have
nothing else to do to fix up these things
in advance"
A voice, "Move' to adjourn" The
Chair: Oh, no use putting that motion.
We must fix these preliminaries first.
I have three more committees prepared
here"
And so on in cheerful disregard OF
ordinary parliamentary practice, the
General announces the details fixed up
in advance, puts motions prearranged,
ignores impromptu motions, and "runs
the convention till it gets going" and
then allows other voices to be heard.
Aud it is amusing to him thus to play
caucus Chairman.
The General who is to preside at the
Society of the Army of the Tennessee
banquet, has horror of second-wind
oratory. Upon the occasion of one re.
union, where political orator caught
his seventh wind and occupied two
hours, Gen. Sherman, who followed
him, said: 81 have listened with intense
patience to the eloquent gentleman who
has now sat down." This equivocal
compliment the General subsequently
desired to amend to intense interest," -

WOMAN'S ARG UAlENT.


Outside it was dreary and cold and wet,
Inside on the hearth was the bright wood fire,
And Larry lounged happily in its glow
And talked of his farm and the men to hire
OF the seed and soil and the planting days,
OF his Toys and girls and their pleasant ways.
While now in her rocking chair by his side
Their mother sat sewing with busy skill;
There were stockings and coats and frocks to
mend.
But her needle worked with right good viii
Till some one knocked at the door, and then
Her parlor was crowded with eager men.
"They wanted Larry he must not refuse
The Party on every good man had claim
And the club had got most important news,
Which they must discuss or be much tC
blame"
And indeed stranger might well have though
That the country had been both sold ane
bought.

But Lizzie said So What is it all about?

But we want the light man in the right place.
Then Lizzie looked up with a gracious smile
az agree with you, friends, and I'll tell you
why:
IT'S principle full of rare good sense,
And exactly suits both Larry and l.
Only this is the way state the case,
The right man, Misters, in the right place
Is husband at home in the evening y
They bowed to the wife with acandid smile,
And one of them answered: MEN never
would roam
If all of us had such pleasant wife,
If all of us had such a cheerful home;
And Larry would be neither happy nor right
If he left his wife and home tonight"
And then when the house was quiet again
Larry stopped low to his wifes pretty face
Dear little woman, so wise and so true,
You have made out most excellent case
There's daytime for duty of every kind;
And you may be sure you will always find
Your husband at home in the evening"
