She left the room; soon returned with

she touched the sad man on the shout

How to Transplant Trees From
WOODS.

Many think it cheaper and better to
take up large trees from the woods, and
transplant them to their grounds or to
the roadside, than to buy nursery trees.
As rule, such trees die; they fail be-
cause proper precautions have not been
taken. In digging up the tree, ali the
roots outside ofa circle q few feet in
diameter were cut of, and the tree is
reset with ITS full head Of branches.
Whoever has seen trees in the forest
that we're upturncd by a tornado must
have been struck by the manner in
which the roots run very near to the
surface, and to great distance. When
the roots Of these trees are cut off at
two or three feet from the trunk, few or
no hbres or feeding roots are lett; and if
the mass of tops is left, the expansion of
the buds in the spring will not be re-
eponded to 6y supply Of sap from the
roots, and death must follow. If such
leaving only bare pole, they will usu.
ally grow when transplanted. The tree
is little moro than an immense cutting:
but there are roots enough left to meet
the demand of the few shoots that start
from the top. and growth above and be.
low ground are well balanced. We
have seen naples, elms, and Eastwood
trees, fifteen feet or more high, trans
planted in this manner without fail
ure. Some trees treated in this manner
were planted in our neiehborhood about
ten years ago. They have now as fine
heGds as one would wish, and
show no signs of former rough treat

Adopting IL Style OF Walk.

The conventional girl has to bring
adaptability into play just as much
when she selects her style of walk as
she does in deciding upon the style OF
her hat or the stuff of her gown. Con.
gruity, too, plays an important part in
her street appearance, and is an i'm
portant factor in her success. The
plump girl, who is all rich, ripe, round
curves and massiveness, can bound
along with a quick, elastic step that
would be ridiculously out of place in
her lank and sweetly aesthetic sister
The first can travel with that easy
spring-way that is as suggestive OF
physical luxury and solid comfort as q
pineapple fiber hammock under al
apple tree; the other must glide-heI
very appearance suggests the frailties
of her structure and the possibilities OF
her being Jared out of shape in the
bounding process. Every woman has
q peculiarly of gait that is essentially
her own. To one who watches the
crowd it becomes o question whether,
with proper description of the steps,
and motions of the body, it would not
be possible to classify each girl with q
tolerable degree of accuracy. The
matter-of-fact girl brings down her feet
with such prosaic force that she is
readily distinguished. So too is the
romantic young lady, whose step is in
itself suggestive of rope-ladders and
mysterious moonlight. There is GO

Matrimonial Tnfelicity,

Mr.. Oliver Cassidy has only been
married few years, but his apprecia-

depreciate There is discount of 20
per cent. on it already.
Sunday afternoon they were taking q
walk, when she requested him to carry
her dolman, at which he grumbled ex-
ceedingly.
Before we were married." said Mrs
Cassidy, bitterly, you used to say
there was nothing in the world you
would not do for me, and now you growl
when / ask you to do little thing"
Yes, it's all very well to talk that
way, but if / had known before we were
married that you were going to load
me down this way with cloaks, umbrel
las, hats and things, whenever you got
u chance, would have advised you to
wed hat-rack."

band, which is more thin / can say

Wait for Me. PaDa.

A strong man lay upon his deathbed
in full possession of his faculties, but
rapidly approaching that unknown sea
which rolls around all the world" His
little daughter, the pet and baby, sat
on the bed holding his hand in hers,
and begging him to "det up and do
walkin'." The dying man looked at her
with eyes whose love was soon to he
quenched in death, and said in a falter-
ing voice:
Papa must go alone-papa must go
alone a long, long journey"
The little one slipped from the bed
and ran out of the room. Soon she re-
turned with hat and cloak on, ready for
a walk. and her little sachel on her
arm. Even in that brief space the
father had become unconscious, and the
heartstricken friends caught up the
little one and whispered to her:
"H-u-s-h, papa Is goingl"
Then there rang out the sad wailing
cry as the child held out her pleading
arms:
Wait for me, papa"
The dying man opened his eyes,
looked at his little daughter with q
smile, and framed some words inaudi-
BILE to mortal ears, and so entered into
rest, perhaps bearing with him beyond
moon and stars the last echoes of his
darling's voice.-DeUOit Post.
