Hints to Transplanters.

The Gardeners Monthly reviews some
of the many practical things brought out
in experience and now confirmed as good
doctrine. 1t says:
1t is now established beyond all ques-
ton that tree or shrub taken out of q
poor soil will not bear TRANSFORMING as
we'll as one that has been well fed. For
instance, if five years ago two Norway
spruces were planted, both of same age
and in soil just alike, but one should re-
ceive no manure for all that time and
the other have little manure every
year, the chance of success in removal
will be very much in favor of the we'll
fed tree. Numbers of trees with good
roots and well planted die after re-
mOval, simply from very weakened
constitution brought about by poor living.
Another capital fact of practical value
to transplanters has been developed.
which is only just now becoming well
known. 1t has always been understood
In this country that transplanted tree
is safer for being pruned, but the pruning
generally consisted of shortening in ali
the branches, strong as well as weak.
But it is now found that the tree should
not be shortened in, but merely thined
out. All the weaker branches should
be cut out and the strong ones left.
And there is the practice becoming
now better known than others, also first

his better-nature. More especially j.
this the case if this undue love of money
has developed within man want. Of
scrupulous honor as to how he comes by
his money, SO that he but gets it. An
Eastern parable illustrates this. A Rus
sian priest knew that moujik, or peas
ant, had come upon buried treasures In
the shape of a pot of money; and the
priest being excessively avaricious, de-
termined that he should get possession
of this treasure. So he killed one OF his
own goats, and took off its skin-horns,
beard, and all complete; and having
pulled the skin over himself, he told his
wife to bring needle and thread and
fasten it up all round, so that it might
not slip off. In this guise he went to
the Moujik's cottage at dead OF night,
and began knocking and scratching.
when the peasant jumped up and cried ::
..Who's there?'' 1.-The evil one!' re-
Piled the priest; and demanded that the
Mouiik should at once give him back the
Tot of money he had found. The
reasant looked out of the window, and
seeing the goats horns and beard, he
was certain that his visitor was none
other than what he represented himself
to be; and in great terror. he seized the
pot of gold, carried it outside, and flung
it on the ground. ''Pve lived before
now without money" said he, land now
I'll 90 on living without it." The priest
seized the money and fastened home.
Come" said he to his wife, ''the money
is in our hands now. Here. put it well
out of sight, and take sharp knife, cut
the thread, and pull the goats skin of
me before any one sees it." She took
the knife, and was beginning to cut the
thread at the seam, when forth flowed
blood, and the priest began to howl: 20.
it hurts, it hurts! don't cut, don't cut!'
She began ripping the seam out in an
other place, but with just the same re-
suit. The goats skin had united with
his body sll round. ''And all that they
tried" adds the legend, ''all that they
did, even to taking the money back to
the old man, was of no avail. The goats
skin remained clinging tight to the
priest all the same. God evidently did
it to punish him Tor his great greedi
ness. "-Chamber's Journal.

learned through our pages. that it is not
possible to pound the earth too tight
about the transplanted tree. It is not
possible to avoid all risks in transplant
ing. The art will never be so perfected
that some will not die; and mortality
where all the conditions can be con-
trolled, will be less than ever before.
Another thing may be remembered,
that trees die in winter from drying out.
Therefore give the roots all the chances
you can to heal and grow before cold dry
ing winds and frosts come. One of the
best of these chances is to plant early.
Plant as soon as you can after the fall
rains come. 1t makes little difference
whether the yellowed leaves have fallen
or not.

Table Notes.

| A table daintily arranged with food
daintily cooked and served produces 8
more favorable impression upon guests
than one overburdened with elaborate
decorations and an unending variety OF
perhaps poorly prepared dishes. with no
regard for order or appropriateness The
fashion of serving one or two articles at a
time, and having a number of courses
does away with a great deal of the con-
fusion which characterized an old-fash-
toned dinner. Really there need not be
any very great variety for a nice dinner
or supper, but served separately it seems
more, as longer time is consumed by the
meal, and greater opportunity is afforded
for sociability.
The table should be laid with the
greatest care, first covered with mat
or cover of cotton flannel, which will
add greatly to the appearance of the ia
ble-cloth, making it look much heavier
and handsOmer. Then the ornaments,
knives, forks, spoons, glasses, salts, but
ter plates, etc., should be arranged with
precision, calculating what will be need
ed for each course, so that when the
changes are made there will be no con-
fusion. The dishes for the several
courses should be set on the sideboard
or side-table, counted and piled together
so that the waiter will have no trouble
about them.
Dinner cards are used of great variety,
from plain card, with the name writ
ten on it, to beautiful, painted satin
fancies in the shape of little fans, tam
bourines, etc. Some of the novelties
are apples, oranges and lemmons, tied
around with narrow ribbon, which is
first passed through two cuts in the end
of a small, narrow, gilt-edged card.
These seem more appropriate for break
fast parties. A fancy clothes-pin is
sometimes employed to hold card.
Fruit and flower decorations are lower
than formerly, and for several reasons
are more desirable. It is quite in order
to remove the outside from oranges and
bananas, and have the oranges divided
into quarters, or even into smaller parts,
and the bananas cut into several pieces.
They are then interspersed with grapes
and candied fruits of different kinds.
In order to have meal served elegant
ly, and without confusion, it is of the
utmost Importance that every detail
should be attended to beforehand, and
that the servants know just exactly what
they are expected to do. Then the
servants should not be called to do other
things when they are passing certain
course. Nothing creates more confusion
and disorder and changes the even tenor
of meal more than to have some one
come in late. 1t disarranges everything.
There is an obligation on the part of the
guests as well as hostess, and whether
invited to a dinner or visiting at
friends, it is a breach of etiquette to be
late to meal, especially so if there are
others invited. Invitations to dinner or
tea should always be accepted or de-
clined so that a hostess may know for
what number to arrange her table,

How to Distinguish SMALLPOX.

When the passengers in Third Ave-
nue. elevated railroad car yesterday
caught sight of the face of a man who
got in at Ninth Street, some of them
moved into other cars, and all the others
except one went to the other end of the
car and sat close together there. The
face of the man who caused this commo-
ton was covered with big pimples. He
would have had the end of the car to
himself but for another passenger who
remained close to him, and then resumed
the reading of newspaper. The other
passengers looked at this couple curl
ously. One of them signaled the man
with the newspaper, and he, too, moved
to the crowded end of the coach.
That man you sat by appears to have
the smallpox, and thought you might
like to know it, said the man who had
signaled to the newspaper reader.

producing an eruption like what you see
on his face. Smallpox does not look
like that at all.''
How does it lookup
'Well, whenever you see pimples de-
pressed in the center you may take that
as sign of smallpox. Smallpox pus-
tules appear first on the face, then on the
neck and hands, and afterward on the
body. At first they are the size and
have the solidity of small shot, but lay
man would not be able to Judge of them
until on and after the fourth day, when
they become depressed in the center and
surrounded by circle of pink that turns
a dark crimson. The pimples are often
so thick that they run together. There
is an odor accompanying the disease that,
once noticed, cannot be forgotten. am

The passengers were interested in
what the surgeon said, and disappointed
when his short lecture was ended.-N

BILE of the tiger and the man, who were

Rochefoucauld says: IS How can you
expect friend to keep your secret, when,
by telling it to him you prove that you

To beware of how you confide in your
friends is given in the tale of a miser,
who said to his friend: 81 have now
1000 rupees which l will bury out of the
city. and will not tell this secret to any
one beside yourself. They then went
out of the city and buried the money I'M

going alone to the tree to see if his
money was safe, found it had disap-
peared. At once he suspected his friend;
but he dared not question him, as he
was sure that he would never confess it.
SO he had recourse to this strategem.
Going to him he said: {" A great deal of
money is come into my hands, which I
want to put in the same place. If you
will come tomorrow we will 90 togeth-
'er." The friend, coveting the larger
sum. replaced the smaller. In the mean
time the miser went and found it, and,
having secured his money, he: deter

Hand Us That Wash. Basin.

There is proneness in man to admire
great thieves. When, however, thief
has obtained national reputation for
robbing stages, and numbering conduc-
tors and detectives, there is no limit to
the slobber and eush when the scoundrel
is finally brought to grief. 1t is really
not safe for sensible person to read
some Western papers since the death of
Jesse James, unless the reader has wash
basin within reach.
Not long since, Jesse James and his
gang murdered, treacherously, shooting
him from behind, Conductor Westfall,
because he was trying, as an honest,
brave man, to protect the passengers and
property entrusted to him. He was
quite as brave man as Jesse James, but
as he was not thief and an outlaw there
was no gush in the papers about his
death. Nobody seemed to care how his
widow and children came on, but when

resume. Governor Crittenden, finding
that whole neighborhoods were screen
ing the highwaymen, and furnishing
them information and aid, and as the
officers of the Law were continually being
betrayed and murdered by these cut
threats, declared Jesse James an outlaw,
and offered reward for him dead or
alive. This is precisely what is done
the world over, when such vitiated
and depraved condition of society exists
that it is impossible to arrest a profess
sional murderer. One OF the gang, hav-
ing imbibed Jesse James notion that
murder was the only approved method
of procuring wealth, gives him a dose
OF his own medicine. What is there in
this to make Jesse James Q saint, and
