Fruit Garden and Orchard.

Finish gathering winter apples.
Planting of hardy fruit trees and
plants should be finished as rapidly
as possible. Should trees arrive SO
late in the season that the ground
is unfit for proper planting heel
them in 3 trench until spring.
Prune grape vines, cutting away
the canes whicn have fruited this
year, and shortening the canes
grown the past summer to absut
four feet This is what is called
the renewal system, and produces
the best fruit. Strawberry plants
may be planted closely in trenches
and protected by slight covering, so
that they can be gotten at for early
planting In spring. Fig trees peg
ged down last month should about
the middle ofthis month be covered
with foot Of soil, monnding it up
so ms 10 shed the rain. Don't allow
tho itinerant tree pruner to get a
chance at your trees. Iffruit trees
are carefully attended to from the
start little cutting will ever be need
ed, and tho ignorant fellows who
travel through the country pruning
orchards generally do more harm
than good. Plant cuttings ofgoose-
berries and currants SAX inches long;
they will be oallOwseek and ready
to grow by spring. The cuttings
make up two or three eyes; tie in
bundles and bury until spring.

LOVING HIS DOGS BErTER THAN HIS

A STABLE ON THE HOUSE TOP.

IL must be confessed that the building OF
stable for twenty horses on the top of a
private mansion, access to which is OBJ
tanned by means of lift, is calculated to
awaken feeling of astonishment even In
these days of marvels. Yet this is the case
of house just erected in BelgraTe Square,
London, by Mr.. Sasson. Ground is very
valuable in that fashionable part of Lon
don, and by relegating the horses to the
top of the house two birds are killed With
one stone, for space is saved and the smell
of the stables avoided The horses do not
seem by any means to object to the mode
of ascent; possibly they are unconscious OF
1t on account of the closed shutters of ths
lift. ..t.. s ...le.-t

Agnes

Sweet Agnes, most winsome. and gentle, and fair,
With roses twinei brightly amid her dark hair.
Smiled roguishly down at the clear, bubbling
spring,
And, nllng her PITCHER, did thus sveetly sing:
"whoeTer at springtime maiden shall woo.
Where musical waters are shimmering through
The rocks where an cak tTee its shadow doth ding,
The same shall bs wed ere the wane OF the
spring"
I stepped from the shadow and smiled on tbs
maid:
Perhaps the light kiss Of the sunset had made
The beautiful nush on her forehead and cheek
Which deepened In tint as FASTENED to speak.
"FAlr Agnes, woo you with vows that are true,
To be my sweet bride ere the spnngtime Is
through
seei waters are ripping through rocks, and the
shade,
OF yOnder gnarled oak oer the sweet spot is laid
She pouied, and rogrishly answered me "Nsy,"
But warm In my fingers her little hand lay,
And closely pressed II, and named the sweet
day,
When Agnes beside me should linger alway.

HER LOST BAGGAGE.

- Down in the Union Depot there are q
thousand carpetbags, satchels, grab-bags

hope you will get your educa-
ton as cheap as you can, for it
cramps your mother and me like
Sam Hill to put up the money.
Mind you, l don't complain. l knew
education came high, but l didn't
know that the clothes cost so like
sixty.
| want you so that you can go
anywhere and spell the hardest
word. want you to be able to 60

Persians and talk to any of them in
their own native tongue.
Inever had any advantages when
l was boy, but your mother and /
decidad that we would sock you
full of knowledge, If your liver held
out, regardless of expense. We Gals
culate to do it, only We want you to
go as slow on swallow-ta coats as
possible till we sell our hay.
Now, regarding that boat-pad-
ding suit and that baseball suit
and that bathing-suit and that rol>
ler-rinktum suit and that lawn-ten-
mis- suit, mind, L don't care about
the expense, because you say a
young man cans educate himself
thoroughly without them; wish
you would send home what you get
through with this fall, and III !
wear them through the winter un>

good deal severer winters here than
we used to, or else I'm failing In
bodily health. Last winter / tried
to 60 without under~clOthes the
way did when | was boy, but a
Manitoba wave came down our way
and picked me out of a crowd with
It's eyes shut.
In your last letter yor alluded to
getting injured in a little "hazing
'cuffle with q pelican frouSthe rural
districts. - l do not want any harm
70 como to you, my son, but if

Your father amt much on Gre

be wouldn't allow any educational
to haze him with impun-
Ity. Perhaps you remember once
how you tried to haze your father a
little, just to kill time, and how
long it took you to recover Any
body that goes at it right can have
a good deal of fun with your father,
but those who have sought to mon

A Dog in a FOx's BurrOW.

The following queer story of dog
is told by a Bridgewater man, who
vouches for its truth: Mr.. Benjamin
Howard owns valuable fox-dog which
started fox in West Bridgewater a
fortnight ago. The fox led the party
into Raynham, when, after following
him some time, the hunters lost sight
and sound of the dog. Finally the
chase was given up and it was expected
as q matter of course that the dog
would return. Not being seen or heard
from for two days the dog was given up
as dead, as he was quite old. Some one
suggested to Mr. Howard that perhaps
the dog had driven the fox into his
hole, followed him in and got stuck
there. Mr.. Howard. with compan-
ion, returned to the vicinity where the
dog was lost and after long search
found the hole The dog had tried to
follow the fox, and had dug about
twice his own length, banking the
earth up behind him so he could not get
out. When found, the dog had turned
around and was faced towards the en-
trance of the hole, but he could not
make any progress. 1t was seven days
from the time the dog was lost until he
was found. Boston Mass. Globe.

He Twisted Her Tail.

1t was a COW, with mild brown ewes,
auburn bangs, and a tail with loose
lock on the end, that switched the air
and knocked imaginary flies into the
hereafter with q snap. She was being
led down West Street, toward the Cort-
land Street Ferry, by ferocious- look
ing Jerseyman, whose complexion,
owing to the cold weather and hot
whisky, was red as meteoric sunset.
Suddenly, with what was apparently
unnecessary cruelty, the Jerseyman
struck the cow across the flank with
club, swung his arms over his head,
danced a maddening double shuttle in
the street, and sat down with strange
rapidity upon acar-rail, The cow looked
over her shoulder approvingly,
and stood in her tracks The Jersey
man arose from the impression he had
made upon the ice, smoothed his coat
tails caressingly, and started toward
the cow. He raped her once, spat on
his hands, raped her twice, put his
her out of the track Of the dray-but to
no avail. A crowd assembled. The
Jerseyman got lots of sympathy but no
assistance. One man suggested that
she had frozen fast; another that she
was undecided about the policy of the
new Board of Aldermen; third that
she was one of II. D. T.'s unbalanced
bids and was afraid of Jersey justice.
The owner went few yards ahead,
grinned q CHASTITY grin, and shaking his
club behind him in suppressed fury
pleaded in persuasive tones: "COme,
Mooly--come, Mooly-- Mooly." But
Mooly saw the club.
At last from the crowd stepped n
lank and unshaven specimen of long,
shoreman. He was gifted with a wis
dom beyond his kind. He drew the
owner of the cow aside and whispered
in his ear: Twist her tail :" The
Jerseyman shook his head. Then, as
though bidding for the support of the
multitude, the 'longshoreman raised
his arm and, making a sweeping gest-
ure, exclaimed:
''Gents, says twist her tail"
''Twist it yerself,'' was the answer.
A glance of scorn upon the crowd,
and the 'longshoreman barred his
brawny arm and stepped up to the cow
| He took the love lock in his hand; ran
his fingers through it and clinehed
them, grasped the middle of the tail
with his left hand and tried to tie a
knot. An agonizing silence, which
was broken by groan and dotted with
broad -brimmed hat, q pair of suspen-
ders and the arms and legs of a long
shoreman doing ealisthenics in the
frosty air. The battered remains Of
the longshoreman were carried away
muttering blasphemy. The COW, after
she had replaced her hind hoofs on the
ground, was led on to the ferry by the
Jerseyman, who observed as he paid
his fare:
