Pruning Shrubs

Messrs. Elwapger & Barry, in their cata-
loguc, say pruning, as sometimes practsed,
has the effect to render trees and shrubs un-
natural and inelegant by shearing into cones,
pyramids and other unnatural shapes. Every
tree and shrub has a habit of growth pecu-
liar TO itself, and this PECULIARLY is one of its
beauties If we prune all alike into regular
shape, we destroy their identity. The prun-
handled with judgment to lop off struggling
branches. Shearing may be practiced on
hedges, but never Oh shrubs. While symme-
try and regularity of form are to be admired
in shrub, this quality should never be gain
ed at the expense Ofheath and natural grace

and honeysuckles may be trimmed during the
winter or early spring, and the branches
should be reduced only enough to keep them

root sprouts removed. The best time, how
ever, for pruning all shrubs is when they
have done Towering. The plumed ny

English experience shows that the quaint
ty of farm yard manure produced in feeding
cattle may vary from one hafto three fourths
of the amount of food consumed and the
straw used for litter. A ton of dry food, such
as grain, cake, hay or straw, yields when fed
about two tons of dung. A ton of green
food, however, such as clover, vetchcs, man.
gel, turnips or cabbage, does not afford on
an average, more than half ton Of dung

What Becomes of Old Tomato Cans.

People often wonder what becomes ofthe
old tomato cans. Wagons can be seen on
the street almost every day filled with old
tin cans of every description picked from
vacant lots or streets They are taken to
Newark and sold for fifteen cents hundred
The price is small but cans are numerous and
the gathering of them pays handsomely if
our informant tells the truth. The Newark
purchaser sorts them out and puts them
into large furnace which softens the
solder so that they can be rolled by
machinery into plates. These plates are ar
tistically blackened and present a smooth,
polished surface. The trunk makers buy
them to bind the edges and bottoms oftrunks
and often to cover up defects of woodwork.
In this manner old tomato cans become n
most useful as well ornamental material The
process of heating the cans also has its profit
able result, for the solder running through
the CRATE into receptaclesis sold for twelve
cents pound, it alone paying it is claimed,
all the price originally paid for the cans -

The Cashier Ahead.

A new bank which had been established in
town in Indiana had engaged the services
of Waterman who came well recommended,
but who did not seem over experienced. The
president therefore sent for him to post him
up a bit, and began:
james, this is your first job of this kind,
isn't it?"
"Ycs, sir"
"Your first duty must be to exercise vigil
ance"
"Yes, sir"
"Be careful how strangers approach you"

"No, sir"
"And our cashier--he is good man, hon

"But it will be hard to watch two men and
the bank at the same time, sir"

"Why, sir, it was only yesterday that the

you were the squarest man in Indiana, but

A LEGEND.

l read legend of a monk who painted,
In an old convent cell in days bygone,
Pictures of martyrs and of virgins sainted,
And the sweet ChriGt-face with the crown of
thorn.
Poor daubs not fit to be chapel's treasure!
Full many haunting word upon them fell,
But the good abbot let him, for his pleasure,
Adorn with them his solitary cell.
One night the poor monk unused: Gould but
render
Honor to Christ as other painters do,
Were but my skill as great as is the tender
Love that inspires me when His cross ] view
But no-'tis vain | toll and strive in sorrow;
What man so scorns still less can He admire;
My life's work is all valueless tomorrow
I'll cast my ill-wrought pictures on the fire."
He raised his eyes, within his cell %, wonder
There stood tor-thorn-crowned was He,
And n sweet voice the silence rent asunder-
IL scorn no work that's done for love of Me-"
And round the walls the paintings shone resplen-
dent
With lights and colOrs to this world unknown,
A perfect beauty and hue transcendent,
That never yet on mortal canvas shone.
There is a meaning in the strange old story
Let nOne dare Judge his brothers worth or need
The pure intent gives to the act its glory,
The noblest purpose makes the grandest deed.
