One Of his soldiers coming unexpect-

street opposite the Chapel Ardente.
where Skobeleff lay dead, on asking,
''Why this crowd?' received answer,
''Skobeleff is dead. Nonsense" re-
piled the simple veteran; '.Skobeleff is
not dead. He would not consent to die
1t is impossible" And so he uncon-
cernedly went his way, confident that
his beloved general was still alive. He
used to eat with them with the common
spoon out of the camp kettles, and no
one was ever more careful to see that
the camp kettle was in its place. 1t
was not only the superb military ,ge-
Mus which they admired, but his SYM
pathy, his affection, his homely urother-
illness. There was no pride in hinI-
with the poorest he was as friendly as
with the most powerful. Skobeleff went
to visit a transport of soldiers badly
wounded. One of the nloribunds recog-
nized him. "Oh," said he. .ithere is

diers, he could be stern enough when
necessary. Once working party in
the trenches, assailed by murderous
fire from the Turks, fell back and
sought shelter in the trenches; Skobeleff
exclaimed: You are frightened. Your
comrades are working and you are
frightened. Form in rank" They
obeyed. ''March back to your work,
and that at once. If not, God be nv

They resumed their work without hesi-

approaches slowly. In such localities,
fruit trees may be planted in the

not like stake stuck in the ground, to
remain unchanged. The tree, though
at rest, is still alive Its buds and bark
keep up certain activity. 1t is well
known that if apparently dormant cut
tings of the grape or currant be set out
in the fall, they will form callus at
the lower end, and the currant, espec-
tally, will even produce roots; ali this
takes place without the presence of a
leaf or any apparent life in the cutting.
When a tree is planted in the warm
soil in autumn, its roots begin to heal
where they have been wounded, and
new fibres push out and help fix the
roots in the soil. A certain work of
preparation which the roots must do
hurriedly in the spring, if planted at
that time, is much better done in
autumn, and when the growing season
begins, the tree is prepared for it. Wet
soils are not favorable for autumn plant
ing, nor indeed for any other. If the
earth will be saturated with water in
winter, it is no place for the roots OF
trees. Heel-in the trees, and by laying
drains, prepare the land for setting
them next spring. In planting trees at
this season, they should have the prep
aration we have advised for spring,
i. e., to smoothly cut all broken roots,
and to diminish the tops one-third to one
half; moreover, sharp mound of
earth should be made around the base
of each tree. foot or eighteen inches
high, both to steady it against heavy
winds, and to keep off the mice. The
stone fruits, peaches, cherries, ETC.; are
regarded as less suited to fall planting
than apples, pears, etc.; but in the
peach districts of Delaware and Mary
land, extensive paintings are made in
autumn. The planting of deciduous
ornamental trees is subject to the same
conditions as that of fruit trees, and the
same may be said of currants and other
fruit-bearing shrubs.-American Agri-
