SCRAPING TREES.

Do we approve of scraping Trees :
asks friend of ours Certainly we do,
provided they need it, and one can rarely
find an old tree that does not. Aside
from the fact that the removal OF the old
bark. scales breaks up refuge for var
ious insects, including the Woolly-aphis'
the increased beauty Of the tree repays
the trouble. There are scrapers made
for the purpose one of these has trl-
angular blade, another long blade, with
one fiat and another slightly concave
edge. An old hoe is quite as good a
tool as any; cut off the handle to about
IS inches, and do not grind the blade too
sharp, as cutting implement is not
needed only scraper. On very old
trunk some force may be needed to de-
tach the scales that are partly loose, but
on Young trees be careful not to wound
the healthy bark. The scraping may oe
done now, next month or later. When
there come, moist drizzly spell, 60 ov-
er the scraped bark with good soft soap
made thin enough with water to apply
with brush. Paint over q thick coat
of this soap and leave the rest to the
rains. Later in the season the trees will
appear as if furnished with mahogany
trunks. - american Agriculturist for

PRoMoTIoNs:-r There will probably be
number of the pupils who will not be
promoted at the close of this term.
Their recitations and examinations
show that it will be for their best good
to take the same work for another year.
In several cases sickness and absence
have prevented advancement. In some
cases in the High School students under
took more than they were willing to do
well, and consequently fail With
others, the trouble has been that they
were idle and Indifferent. We hope
they may learn alesson from this failure
and do better work hereafter On this
subject we earnestly invite the attention
of parents to the following from the
the Wisconsin Journal of Education:
'From the very nature of things there
can be no perfect system of promotions
from grade to grade. We establish a
certain standard of perfection in the
final examinations, and permit those
vino attain this to advance, and require
those who fail to do their years work
over again. Naturally there will be
many who will just reach this standard
and barely pass. These find it up hill
work during the coming year, and as
much longer as they simply Craze sue
.ceSsi in the yearly examinations. There
will often be those who will pass by acct
dent, whose standing IN the monthly re-
ports has been uniformly bad, and their
struggle to maintain a standing at all
creditable in the advanced class is
against appalling odds. The lucky acct
dent that passes them proves a piece of
luck thai Is much to their detriment, but
neither they nor their parents SO regard
it, and a proposal to place them back
where they belong is resented as Unjust
and outrageous. sure evidence of I'M
fair discrimination on the part of the
teacher.
To say to the parents that this is unjust
to the child from every point Of view;
to say that his successful progress
through the course is thereby retarded
rather than FASTENED, and that the use
less-strain is a menace to health if not
to life. is generallyto waste your breath.
These are some Of the cases that call
for the exercise Of a little of that .'een-
tralized authority which is the fash
ionable bug-bear of the day. There is
only one safe and proper rule to follow.
and that il to put such scholars where
the work corresponds to their physical
and mental capacity. This is just alike.

dizziness Is impeding.

The Promise.
weary teacher sat alone

A weary teacher sat alone
In deserted room,
Whose empty desks and naked walls
Showed uimly through the gloom
The twilight shadows. fast and thick.
Were gathering round her form,
Yet with sad eyes, half filed with tears.
The teacher still unused on.
Traces OF care were on her brow.
And lines OF anxious thought.
That many years OF restless zeal
And earnest toll had wrought.
But now a shadow Of despair
Ciouded her sunny face,
And in her heart a dark iistrust.
Has found resting place.
Alas, she sighed, .,why all this cares
What fruitsfor all my tears,
Ny many prayers. my feryent hopes,
Through all these many years.
OF what avail my work OF hfes

And IL pause 10 view my work,
find IL just begun.
"Aly life is all suppressed desires,
And faneies crushed and dead;
The fairy fabrics hope had reared
Fall 10 the earth like lead
look IN vain for some bright ray
TO Danish doubt and fear,
Some cheerful sunlight through the gloon
The darkening sky TO clear
The teacher ceased; the echoes died
Throughout the empty room,
When list a voice so soft and clear
Seems issuing from the gloom
The stivery cadence seems to bid
Her faintlng heart rejoice;
She scarce believes, yet dares TO hope.
II is an angels voice.

The examinations this week are not
public in the sense that they are an ex-
hibition of proficiency in what the
pupils have been drilled in for the oc-
casion. They are almost entirely writ
ten, and the aim is to give every student
fair test of his knowledge of the
subjects pursued. No drill has been
gwen to enable pupils to know what
questions to expect. The examinations
are public, however, in the sense that
all are cordially invited who desire to
obtain an intelligent idea of the work
done during the year, In the advanced
classes of the High School the questions
arc printed, and in the other rooms they
are placed on the blackboard thus they
can easily be seen by visitors.

ANOTHER case of accidental shooting
comes from the west part of the county.
Mathew McIver. son of Samuel McIver,
Esq. of Blake's Prairie, was accidentally
shot in the leg last week, by small pis-
tol in the hands of one of his fellow
students, at Beloit College. The wound
is not very serious but bad enough to
compel him to relinquish his studies for
the remainder of the term and learn the
use of crutch. This same young man
very narrowly escaped serious injury
from the bursting of a gun in his hands
about one year ago. In attempting to
fire the weapon the breech flew into
pieces and his face was filled with
grains of gunpowder.

Died, at Glen Haven, May 25th. 1888,
of diptheria, Johnnie Ward, aged 10
years, months, 10 days. Johnnie dead,
how strange it seems for one so young
to be shrouded for the tomb. None
knew him but to love him; he was SO
kind and obliging, ready to lend a
helping hand to all. Before he died he
called his mother who passed over the
river two years before him. He leaves
a grief stricken father, one brother and
one sister to mourn his loss
One sweet flower has dropped and faded,
One sweet youthful voice is fled,
One fair brow the grave has shaded
One dear schoolmate now is dead,
But we feel no thought of sadness,
For our friend is happy now;
He has knelt in soulfelt gladness,
Where the blessed angels bow.
He has gone to Heaven before us,
But he turns and waves his hand,
Pointing to the glories DER us
In that happy spirit land.

The court of Justice Baldwin was
opened last Saturday, to accommodate
Michael Montz, of Fennimore, with q
trial, on the charge of selling liquor on
election day. Court opened at one
o'clock. and proceeded directly to bust
ness by reading the complaint made by
III. A. w. McNair, which was in short
as above stated, the date of the otfense
being April 3, 1888, AT the conclusion
of the reading his honor asked the de-
PENDANT whether he pleaded guilty or
not guilty.
Guilty
The court said such being the case
there was nothing to be done but to fix
the fine and costs. 1t was in the power
of the court to make the fine twenty-five
dollars, but as the defendant had pleaded
guilty he would not go to the extreme.
Here MIR. McNair asked leave to say few
words, and permission being granted
said in Fcnnimore they had been in the
habit of letting men sell whiskey on
Sunday, Monday and all other days.
This was the only case that had been
brought up, and as the defendant had
pleaded guilty the speaker asked the
court to make the fine as light as posi-
BILE.
nv. MONTE then said he had kept as
GOOD and quiet house as was ever
kent in Fennimore. His neighbor had
had several rows in his house, bat the
sneaker had been there five years and
never had a row in his house, and he
,houcht the arrest unfair. If he had
kept disorderly house be would not
have minded.
The court said under the circum-
stances he would reduce the fine to ten
dollars and costs. the whole bill amount
inc to S25.47, which was promptly paio
and court adjourned.
