Orchard and Fruit Garden.

TREES that have been heeled-in may

BILE. If the trees have started, great
care will be needed in handling them.
Such trees should not be trimmed at
planting Grating for the renewal OF
old trees may continue, taking great
care in cutting away the branches to
make no bad wounds, as the bark now
peels readily.
GRATING WAX. - -Four parts of
rosin and one part each, bees-wax and
tallow, make a good preparation. If
too hard, add more tallow, or if too
soft, take less. The best way of using
it is upon cloth. Take an old sheet or
the skirt of well-worn dress; tear it
into strips two inches wide, make the
strips into rolls, and let them remain in
the melted wax until thoroughly soak
ed through remove and let them drain
and cool. This waxed cloth may be
torn off in pieces of convenient size to
cover the wounds, and can be applied
to make a complete covering. Squashes
are good crop for young orchard.
Potatoes, mangels, turnips, or other
roots may be grown between the rows
of fruit trees.

escaped, their 'tents" or webs will soon
appear in the trees Remove them
while small Curculios attack the
young plums soon after the blossoms
fall, and the thorough jarriDg of the
trees. should begin early.
MULcHING is far better than water
ing to save newly planted trees. Cover
the ground over the roots with bog
hay, old straw, or litter of any kind.
STRAWBERRIES. - Beds that were
covered last fall should have the straw
left on them until after The fruit is
picked. The straw should be pulled
away just over the plants. Pull up
such coarse weeds as appear through
the mulch of the bed.
Watch for the first appearance of
holes in the leaves of Currants and
Gooseberries, and use White Helebore
busted on, or better mixed with water,
large tablespoonful of the powder in
pailful of water. and apply with a
syringe or pump. Repeat few days
later, to destroy those which escaped
or have hatched since the first applica-
ton.
Young grape vines set this spring,
should be allowed to push but single
shoot. If two or more buds were left,
to guard against accidents, rub off all
but the strongest, and keep the shoot
from this tied up to stake. Rose
bugs destroy the flowers of the grape,
shake off these pests in early morning,
catching them in pan in which there

A learned Bostonian writes: cal
though the Indians did not know how
to swear when the white man came
they soon learned to swear, and had
sufficient words in their language for
the purpose. Eliot, in the Indian
Bible, used the Indian word Osh (my
Father for Creator, ETC., and the early
missionaries, when addressing the In
dians, used Gosh (your Father) The
Indians soon saw that that was the
necessary word for profanity and
adopted it, Gosh is in use to some
extent now, and perhaps some pious
people who say gosh are not aware
that it is downright swearing in the
Indian language"

Judge Pershing, of Pottsville, has
decided that base ball playing was not
business under the meaning of the
wages act of 1872, and that the players
salaries are not to be placed on the

working people. The question came
up on q case stated in which the play

Glucose in Leather.

According to the Shoe and Leather
ReUie,o, the Justification of the weight
of leather by adding glucose, or grape
sugar, appears to be carried on rather
extensively in Germany, and the shoe
trade societies are taking steps to pro-
tect themselves from the imposition.
A simple test is recommended, which
consists in placing pieces of leather in
water for the space of twenty-four
hours, when the glucose will be dis
solved by the water, and the result
will be a thick sirupy liquid. When
two pieces of the leather are placed to-
gether and left in that position for a
time, it will be found difficult to sepa-
rate them, as the gummy exudations
will stick them together. 1t is stated
that some samples of samples of sole
leather were found to contain as high
as 80 to 40 per cent of extra weight.
Another test recommended is to cut off
small pieces of the leather, and, wrap
ping them up in damp cloth, lay them
away for few days in a temperate
place. If the leather is adulterated,
the pieces will be found to be stuck to-
gether, and surrounded by a sirupy
substance in proportion to the quantity
of the adulterant used; and the pecu-
liarity about leather treated with grape
sugar is that, after wetting, it IS diff
cult to dry, and resembles gutta percha
or untanned leather more than the
genuine article.

Plants in High Latitudes.

A Norwegian plant geographer,
Prof. Schubeler, called attention
short time ago to the remarkable fact
that most plants IN high ATTITUDES
produce much larger and heavier seeds
than in warmer regions near the
effect which he ascribes
to che prolonged influence of sunlight
during the long summer days of the
high ATTITUDES. In some cases the
difference of seed Developments most
astonishing. Dwarf beans taken from
ChrisLiania to Drontheim-less than
four degrees further porth-gained
more than go per cent. IN weight, and
thyme from Lyons, when planted in
Drontheim, showed q gain of II per
cent. The grain i'm northern fields is
heavier than when grown in more
southern localities, and seed from
Norway planted at Breslau decreased
greatly in the first year. The leaves
also of most plants are larger and
more deeply colored in higher lati-
tudes, as was first noticed by Grise-
bach and Martins. The same is true
Of flowers, ana many which are white
in southern climates become violet in
the north.

The SOUdan.

Many people are at present puzzled
over the "Soudan," Of which they
hear so much. They are not quite
sure whether it would betray an un-
pardonable amount of ignorance for
them to confess a general kind of
unacquaintedness with what this Sou
dan IS and how far it extends. Would
it give these people-who, by the
way, need not be ashamed to confess
their ignorance any kind of satisfac-
tory information to tell them that
Soudan is the name given by the
Egyptians to all their dependent EN-
pire stretching from the third cataract
for an indefinite distance towards the
lakes, and from the Red sea to the
western border of Darfur? This EN-
pire comprises much Of Nubia, all
Senaar, all Kardofan and all Darfur.
It is said to be about 1000 miles
square, or as large as India. This
vast extent of a million of square
miles is said to be inhabited by about
100000 people, most of them Mus
sulmans and many Of these of excep-
tional ferocity, fanaticism and daring.
Eventually, 1t seems likely, the Eng
lish will have to tackle this wild,
ferocious crowd, if it invade Egypt,
which is far from unlikely.

Artificial OYsfers in Paris.


Artificial oysters are now manufac-
tured in large quantities by several
oyster factories recently established
in the neighborhood of Bordeaux.
fbe new product, the making of
which is kept secret from the I'M
initiated, initiates the real oyster very
perfectly in the appearance, and tue
main difficulty of the business,%the
fixing of the spiduous product to the
oyster she'll, upon which it takes the
place vacated by its prototype, is said
to have recently been got over with
perfect success. 1t is urged that all
who eat real oysters should carry
away and destroy their shells, thus
preventing them from being passed
into the service of this new aliment-
airy fraud. The initiate oyster shells
would be too costly a process, and if
all the shells of the favorite bivalve
could be kept out of reach of the
oyster-makers the dishonest trade
would receive its death blow. But as
that is an unattainable res ult, it is to
be feared that lovers of oysters have
an uncomfortable prospect before
them.

How Negroes COnjure.
Walton E(Ga. } News.

Not many months ago the columns
of this paper contained an account of
the sickness and death of Rev. Jesse
Gilbert, colored pastor of the negro
Baptist Church at this place, and the
subsequent trial and exclusion from
the church of the Edmund Butler for
''conjuring" the preacher and caus-
ing his death. Another case of trick
ing" not quite SO fatal in its results,
perhaps, has come to the surface
This was at Mount Etna, another
negro church in this county. Ran
son Henderson, colored, is a sort of a
preacher himself, and for long time
he was used as a substitute at Mount
Etna whenever the pastor would fail
to put in an appearance. A month
or SO ago Ransom had terrible spell
of ''nUraligy," as he called it, and
upon inquiry was told by some one
that he could cure himself by boring
a hole in blackjack oak and filing
1t with lint cotton saturated In whisky,
white oak pin to be driven in the
hole and sawed off close to the tree.
Rams went home full of hope, de-
termined to carry out instructions to
the letter. He and his wife had a
quarrel the day before, and he arriv-
ed home to find her pouting. It wasn't
long before Ransom had hole bored
IN a blackjack and the white-oak pin
prepared. When he came to the
house and carried from it the piece of
cotton saturated in whisky his wife
watched and secretly followed him to

given the pin it was as much as the
pouting wife could stand, and jump

her own way bout it. But he hadn't
got far out of hearing before the old
woman lit on that black jack with ak,
maui and wedge, and brought the
contents of the hole to the house be-
tween two pieces of pine bark, not
daring to touch i with her hands.
The same cards that combed her head
were used on the cotton. She never
thought of this, and as soon as she
found some of her wool ia that cotton
her wrath was unsurmountable. She
reported Brer Ransom to the church.
charges of trickery were perferred
against him, and he was about to be
turned out of the church, when one
of the brethren arose and exclaimed
to the members the agony he himself
had suffered from neuralgia, aud how
he was cured by the same method
followed by Brer Ransom: This turn,
ed the scales in his favor, and small
majority voted against turning him
out. His wife is not yet reconciled,
and will not have anything to do
with him. Rams has made many
purchases recently at the store of
Novel;, Michael s. Co., always hav-
lag it understood that he could return
the goods if his wife wouldn't accept
them. Strange to say, Rams has re
turned all the goods, and says his
