THE DRAGON FLY.-Vulgarly call
ed the Devils Darning Needle in
this country, may be seen in sunny
summer days moving with rapid
flight about our streams, ponds and
meadows, alighting for a time and
then darting away. These creatures
have peculiarly light and airy ap-
pearance, and are beautifully colored.
They are enormously voracious. be-
ing among insects what birds of prey
ale among their kind. Though for
midable to the minute creatures on
which they prey, they are perfectly
harmless to mankind. Otherwise
they are very useful to man, and de-
stroy vast numbers of gnats and
other insects which are troublesome
or destructive. They are 8 great
ornament to our meadows and water
ways in summer time. If a few
dragron flies be shut into a house for
short time, they will exterminate
the mosquitoes and flies and other
vexatious blood-suckers, just as a
few toads put into room will rid it
of bugs, cockroaches and like pests.

The relative Importance of the oil
fields of the world are succinctly
stated as follows, in the July Century,
by E. V. Smalley, in his graphic and
fully illustrated article on ssStriking
Oil: = "Nearly all the petroleum
that goes into the worlds commerce
is produced in q district of country
about a hundred and fifty miles long,
with varying breadth of from one
to twenty miles, lying mainly in the
state of Pennsylvania, but tapping
over little on its northern edge
into the state of New York. This
region yielded, in 1881, 26,95O,813
barrels, in 1882, 81, $685. $50 barrels.
A little petroleum is obtained in West
Virginia, little at various isolated
points in Ohio, and a little in the
Canadian PROVENCE of Ontario.
There is also small field in Ger
many, larger one, one still larger,
perhaps, in India. The total pro-
duction of all fields, outside of the
region here described, is but small
fraction in the general account, how
ever, and has scarcely an appreciable
influence upon the market. Further
more, the oil of these minor fields,
whether in America or the Old World,
is of an inferior quality, and so long
as the great Pennsylvania reservoir
holds out, can only supply local
demand in the vicinity of the wells.

Tie following hints may be useful
to persons suddenly alarmed by an
outbreak of fire. If fire occurs in a
room be very careful with the availa-
BILE water, especially so where the
quantity is limited. An ordinary jug
of water may be sufficient to extin-
guish a body of flame if judiciously
used. Close doors and CRATE, be-
cause by stopping draught you de-
prive fire of its attacking propensity.
If in bedroom, carefully but well
saturate a blanket with the water
available, and on yonr hands and
knees escaping from the thick
est of the smoke, which ascends-
approach the seat of the fire, and en-
deavor either to stife Or beat out the
flames A table-cover in a dining
room will do instead of a blanket.
If unsuccessful, leave the room, be-
ing sure to close the door, and alarm
the household by springing rattle,
which every house should possess
and when all are together make for
the easiest place of access to the
street. A silk handkerchief wetted
will, when tied firmly round the
mouth, act as a good smoke respira-
tor; and blanket wetted and wrapt
round the body will enable a person
to pass through a sheet of flame in
comparative safety.

KALsoMINE. = Eight pounds of
whiting and one quarter of white glue
make the right proportions. Soak
the glue over night in cold water, and
in the morning heat it until it is per-
fectly dissolved. Mix the whiting
with hot water, stir the two together,
and have the wash the consistency of
thick cream. Apply warm with a
kalsomine brush, brushing it well in
and finishing it as you go on. If
warm skim milk is used instead of
water the glue may be omitted. Be-
fore the wash is applied, all holes
and crevices should be stopped with
plaster of Paris mixed with water.
Colors to tint the walls may be pro-
cured at any paint store. If zinc
white is used instead of whiting, it
will last white for years. The first
expense is more, but the investment
pays. Use first a sizing Of white
glue.

Trimming Apple Trees.

Experience is the mother of wisdom.
There are different opinions among
farmers about the proper time for trim
ming apple trees. The main object
ought to be to trim in that season of the
year when the wound will entirely heal
over, or the tree is ruined, sooner OF
later. Ii that object is not accom-
plished the water enters and a hole is
rotted into the trunk; it becomes hollow
and is destroyed.
Some trim in early spring; the SAP
forces itself out of the wound in abun-
dance, runs down ON body or larger
limbs; the bark turns back and often
dies, and the trees are permanently in
jured. Another follows the opposite
extreme and prunes in August, or even
in early winter. when the sap has
turned into the wood; the wound does
not turn black, as in the other case, but
heals slowly, if at all, and tree with
holes in it is a final result. If the bark is
entirely peeled off the tree from the
roots to the limbs, in the longest days
OF midsummer, which are somewhere
from the 18th to the 26th of June, a new
bark is formed and the tree is not in.
jured, and an old tree is said to be bene-
fitted by the operation. If apple trees
are pruned at this time, if any bark is
accidentally taken off where the limb
has been removed, it will entirely heal
over if the limb removed is not toe
large and the growth is sufficient for
that purpose. The sap of the tree is
not too thin to run out and blacken the
tree, as in early spring, nor too thick
and already formed into the wood, and
the wound comparatively dry; both
wood and bark as in later pruning are
not stopped in farther growth over the
wound. Many farmers, as general
thing, prune an orchard without discre
ton, saving off too large limbs, that
can never heal over, oftentimes cutting
them off some inches from the trunk o.
the tree or the larger limbs from which
they are removed; the stub of the limt
will die to the body and the further de
cay of the tree is sure
In pruning off too much the natura
equilibrium between the roots and th,
top is destroyed and the body of tn,
tree will come out in suckers ol
sprouts. Such ignorant farmers ha(
better cut their trees down anC
trim them afterward, which i.
easier done, and with more profit to
themselves, as the ground could be EN-
ployed for some better purpose. If +:
limb is dead there is no option: it must
be cut off close to the tree; the only liv
ing limbs that should be cut off are the
small ones that will heal over, coming
from the larger branches in the inside
of the top (and those that cross and gal
each otheD, thereby letting in more
sun to the apples to give them a better
color and give the picker better
chance in the tree. Everything beyond
this is superf1uous, and pruning had
better be dispensed with altogether
Many fine orchards receive their death
warrants from such i'll pruning every
year.-N II. Patriot

An lee. Cream Festival and What 1t
Led To.

p An ice-cream festival in Louisville,
Ky., has caused a painful warfare
between a voung man and a woman
who might have been his mother-in-law
Joseph Summercale escorted Miss
McGhee to the festival and there enter
tained her with great liberality, expend-
ino no less sum than $1.85 for her
benefit. After seeing her home, how
ever. the remorse which follows extrav-
aoance set in, and he expressed to a
friend regrets that he had been so
lavish. This regret was subsequent
" communicated to Miss McGhee,
who told her mother, whereupon
Mrs McGhee, thinking to overwhelm
him, forthwith sent to the uneasy
Summercale the sum which she under
stood that he had expended upon her
daughter This was bold stroke, but
the Young man was equal to the emer-
gency, and Immediately made reply
that she had not sent him enough by
thirty-fve cents. At this point Sum-
mercale had a slight advantage, but
when Miss McGhee's small brother
soon afterward addressed him on the
street as Thirty y-five-cent Joe" he lost
his temper and threatened to thrash the
youngster. The boy told his mother,
who sent word that she would cowhlde
Summercale if he attempted anything
of the sort. But Summercale is man
of resource and he Immediately swore
out a peace-warrant and had Mrs.
McGhee arrested, to which she forth
with responded by causing his arrest
for disorderiy conduct. At this stage
of the conflict the Louisville papers
went to press and the telegraph has
been unaccountably silent as to the final
result.-N. Y Tribune.
