A correspondent of the american AZ

tightly around the body or a limb in
June or July will cause barren fruit trees
to yield the following season. Let our
readers try it on single limbs and alter
nate trees this summer. The string
should be cut the following winter or
early spring.
Red ants may be banished from a

former as not being so likely to get into

Before putting a roast of veal in the

A novel and wonderfully pretty

Egyptian Princes.

Ismail Pacha, the former Khedive of
Egypt, brought up his sons, of whom he
had five, in a peculiar manner. Tewfik,
as the heir apparent, was educated in
Egypt and is bigoted Mussulman. The
second son, Prince Houssan, was brought
up in France and is thorough Partisan
in all his tastes. Prince Halem, the third
son, graduated at the Berlin university
and loves his lager beer and tobacco as
well as any German; indeed, he is an Off,
Ger of the German army. He is said to
be the ablest of all the sons of the late
Khedive. Prince Ibrahim is thorough
Englishman. He studies at Woolwich,
eats roast beef, drinks Bass ale and affects
bull dogs. The fifth son is a boy of thH-
teen, and is at college in Turin, Italy.
Such is the polyglot family of the late
Khedive. -DenaoreSr Monthly.

jean Jandun who wrote the "Eloge
de Paris" in 1928 gives a most graphic
description of the display of goods in the
shape of clothes, fans, silks and stutfs
which were exposed for sale on the
ground floor of the shops, while the
story above was devoted to the lighter
object de lure. such as toilet details,
ivory pens, head-gear, girdles, gloves,
etc. That the trade was lucrative one
is evident from the fact that the heaviest
assessment was made on this class of
shops, varying from thirty to $50 livres.
1t is worth while noticing that though
makers of wooden, silk and lace goods
were somewhat numerous, those of
linen were very few, only eight in
number, which seems to imply that the
linen trade was comparatively little
known in those days, and that the ma
terial was not much used. There were
many hatters; but we must not omit to
mention the mortelierS, (from whom,
perhaps, our slang University term of
mortar-boards' has been derived,)
rather powerful and important craft,
who gave their name to the Rue Ee
Mortellerie. There were also, no less
than five makers of hats from peacock
feathers. The furriers, of which there
were $50, formed one of the most pow
erful trade guilds of the time; and we
also find that the old clothes men flour
ished at that period under the significant
title of rdtreschiSSee1trS, or renovators of
old garments. Tailors, who numbered
$50, occupied an important position in
the clothing trade, although the trade
was very much divided in specialties,
there being, besides tailors proper, cor
poration of doublet makers, braces
makers, shoUlder-knot-m makers, etc. The
tailors were under several peculiar rules
and laws. The customer always found
the cloth, and the tailOrS province was
merely to cut the garment; and if he did
not do this properly he was liable to a
fine from his guild and the cost
of the damage done to the cloth. A
paper pattern was first of all taken of
the intended suit, and this pattern was
kept by the corporation as evidence in
case of any complaint either of misfit or
of not using up all the cloth, which was
considered point of great Nervousness.
This, however, was not limited to France
for we find the same custom prevalent in
England in the early days, as shown by
the following: Memorandum That
John Rowter received iii yerdes of brod
cloth blew to make Master Robert Rydon
goWune upoun the weeche, the sayde
Master Robert compleyned of the lacking

proved iii quarters of brod clothe con-
vayed in pieces, as hit apereth by pa
torons of blacke paper in our common
kofer of record, at any tyne redy to
shew," In royal establishments, and
in great houses generally the tailor was
a regular servant, receiving wages and
wearing livery, and, indeed, in the
Kings palace was complete tailor 5

Pruning Pea Vines.

The following by y writer in the
American Garden is worth remember
ing until next summer: 'While hoeing
last summer my Little Gem peas, grow
ING on rich. mucky land, between straw
berry rows four feet apart, | noticed
that some of the plants had more than
one bearing stalk. The question oc-
cured to me why all could not have
several stalks, and of course more pods,
provided the land was rich enough and
there was room enough between them
for air and sunshine. Then came the
thought of what had heard and read
about shortening in plants to make them
more stocky and fruitful, and of the
practicability of a similar treatment for
peas. 1t was already late in the season,
the first blossoms just showing them
selves in most cases, yet the experiment
was worth trying, and as | had an acre
of these peas it could not amount to
much if 1 did injure few plants. So l
counted off just 600 plants on one row,
stuck stake firmly in the ground and
pinched remorselessly an inch or more,
blossoms and all. from the top of every
one of these plants. Then counted 600
plants on the row next to this and drove
stake, without disturbing the plants. 1
watched the decapitated vines with much
interest, and sure enough new branches
came out abundantly near the ground
and from the axis of the leaves. They
finally budded, blossomed and fruited
more abundantly than their neighbors,
although about week later. None of
the peas are picked, the entire crop being
saved for seed. They were thrashed,
winnowed and carefully measured sep
arately on the 22d of August with the
following result: The 600 headed-off
plants yielded five plump quarts, while
the 600 unpruned ones, in the adjoining
row, yielded four scant quarts. The
practical value of this shortening-in of
pea vines. as appears from this single
experiment, consists therefore not only
in an increased productiveness of twenty
five per cent, but also in the prolongino
of the period of picking from a single
planting. By pruning part of the
vines the harvest of these becomes
delayed week, and thus all the advant-
ages may be secured that would other
wise require two paintings"
