Pendleton'S gambling-house was one OF
the sights of Washington before the war.
The entrance was through Il narrow. lighted
hallway, opening from the avenue near the
National Hotel. A pair of stairs at the far
ther end of the hall were closed half way
up by Il door fastened on the inside. i
lattice was opened ON the ringing of the
bell, and a colored man scrutinized the
new conner to see if all was right. If there
was no apparent objection the door was
opened. and the visitor proceeded up
stairs, where there was a large front par
Ior, elegantly furnished, with cen
ter table on which were the leading
newspapers and magazines or the coun-
try. Around it one generally found
several gentlemen, some of them members
of congress, reading and discussing the
news of the day. The back parlor was
more luxuriously furnished, and at one
end in a massive gilt frame was q life-like
picture of Il huge tiger, with fiery eyes and
open mouth, apparently ready for a spring
on his unSuSpccting victim. Beneath this
picture was Il table on which was the lay

bank bills and gold pieces of different de-
nominations, and in another box were the

and redeemed by the banker at the end of
each game. There was n supper-room
where free supper was served every
night. The cook was the best in Wash
ington, and at Pendleton's those who did
not fancy the poor fare at the hotels and
the worse eating at the private boarding
houses, could feast on turtle soup, oysters,
terrapin canvas-ba back ducks and venison.

Many newly set trees are ruined the first
summer after setting by the borer, which
seems mainly to attack trees enfecbled by
removal or other cause. The maple, ash
and elm suffer very severely, if not more so,
from this enemy than any other kinds. 1t
is eNasperatng after selecting and setting
choice shade trees in the spring to find in
the fall that they have been ruined by this
unseen enemy and that the bark on the
south side Of the tree is dead. But if taken
in time the injury from the bOrer can be
prevented. 1t never attacks q tree growing
in the shade, or the north side of a tree
standing alone. Its depredati0ns are al
ways committed ON the sunny side of the
trunk. Knowing this, it is to guard
against it. A board placed upright on the
south side OF the trunk So rs 10 shade il. or
better still two narrow ones nailed together
in Y shape, and kept in place upri ght. will
insure against harm. Wrapping the trunk
with hay rope, or inclosingit loosely with
building paper, also afford security. After
the tree has become well established and is
making vigorous growth, ii is compare
lively safe. The damage, as before
stated. Is in the first summer after planting.
If the borcr once effects entrance into a
tree and kills the bark half way round the

A New Requirement in Modern Farming

A good farmer always needed skill, but
in the changed conditions of modern farm
ing different kind of skill is needed from
that required by our fathers and grand
fathers. This is more largely the case West
than East. but true in both Formerly it
was mostly manual skill in the use of sim
pie implements such as the sickle, the
scythe and the common walking-plOw.
Now the farmer needs TO know how To ad-
Just, run and care for machinery. Ma
chimes properly handled call for little
manual experiences to run them. But to
manage the present implements requires a
degree of mechanical skill that large pro-
portion of our farmers do not possess. To
comprehend the full extent of this change
compare the modern thrashing machine
with the old-fashioned fail, or the self
binding harvester with the old sickle or its
successor, the grain-cradlc. Every careful
observer must recognize the fact that the
lack of skill in using and caring for his
machinery is one of the most potent
sources Of loss 10 the farmer We have
known one man to Use mower

who is unslillful in using and caring for
them. An important inquiry is how thc
