The FaImou.h Hotel wa.er Case,

The case of Chadbourn 81 Kendall against
the owners of the Falmouth Hotel, to recover
damages 70 their stock of wooden and furnish
ing goods caused by the bursting Of water
pipes in the hotel year ago, has been decided
in favor Of the plaintiffs by the Law Court.
The verdict in the Superior Court was for
$3.50. which has been sustained, as will ap-
pear by the following rescript received at the
Clerk of Courts office, Saturday. N. 8 a. b.
Cleaves we're counsel for the plaintiffs, and
j. & e. M. Rand for the defendants:

Whether, on the one hand, the water pipe,
by the bursting Of which the plaintlffs' mer-
chandise was damaged, was OF suitable size
and strength and suitably placed for the pur-
pose for which it was used, aud the bursting
was caused by a sudden freezing, from the
window being carelessly left open over night,
or In some other way for which the occupant
was responsible, and not the owners of the
building;-or whether, on the other hand, the
pipe had continued from the time of tho ieas-
ing of the hotel TO g lson to be in defective

provision in the lease in regard to repairs and
improvements in plumbing, etc., to be made
by the defendants, taken in connection with
the fact that their attention had been alled to
the condition OF the water pipe In this part of
the otel, and that what repairs had been
made there were made by men IN their employ

plumbing and for damages which resulted

How to Transplant Trees From Woods


Many think it cheaper and better to
take up large trees from the woods and
transplant them to their grounds or to
the roadside than to buy nursery trees.
As rule, such trees die; they fail be-
cause proper precautions have not been
taken. In digging up the tree, all the
roots outside of circle a few feet in
diameter are cut of, and the tree is
reset with its full head of branches.
Whoever has seen trees in the forest
that were upturned by tornado must
have been struck by the manner in
which the roots run very near to the
surface, and to great distance. When
the roots of these trees are cut off at
two or three feet from the trunk, few
or no tibrous or feeding roots are left;
and II the mass of tops is left, the
expansion of the buds in the spring
will not be responded to by supply of
sap from the roots, and death must
follow. If such trees have the tops
completely removed, leaving only a
bare pole, they will usually grow when
transplanted. The tree is little more
than an immense cutting; but there are
roots enough left to meet the demand
OF the few shoots that start from the
top, and growth above and below ground
are well balanced. We have seen
naples, elms, and Eastwood trees.
fifteen feet or more high, transplanted
in this manner, without failure. Some
trees treated in this manner were planted
in our neighborhood about ten wears
ago. They have now as fine heads as
one would wish, and show no signs of
former rough treatment Trees in
pastures, or on the edge of the woods.
are better furnished with roots. These
should be prepared for transplantinp
by digging down to the roots, and cut
ting off all that extend beyond the
desired distance. This viii cause the
formation of fibrous roots near the
tree. 1t will be safer to take two wears
for the operation, cutting half of the
roots each year. Such trees NAV be
removed in safety, especially il a good
share of the top is removed In trans
planting. Shrubs of various kinds re-
quire the same treatment. MANY of
our native shrubs are of great beauty.
and desirable as ornaments to the
grounds. As ordinarily transplanted,
they are rarely satisfactory. If the
whole top of these shrubs, every branch.
be removed, leaving only stick with
as much root as can be secured. success
is quite certain. We have removed the
laurel (Ka5natG IatifoljG) safely in this
the shrubs show no signs of
their rough treatment. --Anerican Aqri.

The Law Of Scent.

Is any one to be found bold enough
to say he has mastered even the rudi-
ments of the phenomena of scent? It
has long been found that not even a
southerly wind and cloudy sky is a
certain prelude to days sport The
late Lord Fitzhardings once remarked
he had hunted hounds for over fifty
! years, but knew no more about the
| chances of scent or the reverse than he
| did when he first began to carry the
horn. The poet Somerville declared
that ION the air depend the hunters
hopes and the great Beckford, while
approaching the subject with much diff
tidence, thought scent mainly depended
on the state of the ground and the tenn
perature. Other writer's have fancied
scent varies much in different foxes.
and the celebrated Nimrod was much
of this opinion. We all know certain
conditions under which hounds as a
rule are unable to get along. but we
know nothing more. On most SEEM
ingly unfavorable days they can often
run to distraction; on others, with APP
parently everything in their favor, they
can only walk after a fox. A cold,
raw, windy day is, so far as can be
judged, the most unfavorable to hounds,
as are also those sunny, gaudy days we
get some time in spring and autumn.
One thing is well ascertained, and
that is, pastures carry q better scent
than arabic lands. The reason is not
so easy to explain, but the fact remains.
1t is commonly said that the earth stick
ing to the fox's pads prevents the
ground being tainted with the effiuvia,
and that when the ground is wet and
''carrles, as the term is, hounds cannot
even puzzle out the line by slow hunt
ing. This never seems a very salts
factory explanation, though it is the
one generally given to inquirers. In
all countries there are coverts, and
certain fields, which are notorious for
an utter absence of scent, and usually
without any assignable cause.
We are almost tempted to think that
no general rule can be laid down, but
that the phenomena of scent vary in
different countries, according to the
diversity of soil and prevailing winds.
There can be no doubt that the modern
crowded fields are all against hounds
and in favor of the fox. 1t has been
said that honnds, if left entirely to their
own devices, would rarely miss catch
ing their fox, but now they are har-
raised by the field, and often by too
oficious huntsman. As a matter of
fact, those best able to Judge of the
matter would pronounce the contrary
to be the case, and would say there are
but few days on which hounds would
be successful by their own unaided eff
forts. Never to let the fox get far
ahead is the great maxim of the day,
and very sensible one; for we ali
know how quickly on bad days he can
run himself out of scent and danger

Tim and His Pet Dove.

One day. when little Tim Raw was
| picking berries in field, he found
dove with broken wing. He carried
it home, and bound the wing close d
the doves side with linen band. Soon
the wing was as well as ever, and tina
dove could fly again; but it aid mol
want to fly away from Tim, for ii had
grown very tame. Tim was glad Is
have it stay, for he had no TOYS or pets.
| When he went to pick berries, the
dove would 60, too, perched on lis
shoulder. Tim named it Fairy, aaa
taught it to come at his call. and to eat
from his hand. At night the dove would
roost on the head of Tins bed.
Tins mother was taken very sick.
There was no one to nurse her but Tins
and when she could not eat, and began
to grow worse, Tim went for doctor.
"She will get well if she has good
food said the doctor. .'She must
have chicken or meat broth"
Tim had no money to buy meat but
all at once he thought Of his doFe He
knew it would make good broth, but be
could not bear to kill it.
He saw neighbor going by tho
house, and he ran out and put the dove
in her hands.
" Please kill my dove, he said. ''and
make my mother some broth; she Is SO
SICK
Then he ran in the house, and tried
not to think of his poor little dove. lie
did not want his mother to see him cry,
for she would have said that the dove
should not be killed.
In about an hour the neighbor brought
some good hot broth; and when Tins
mother ate it, she said, she felt amest
well again.
"You shall have some more to-rnor-
row, said the woman. Il will make
broth for you every day until you are
well again. y
Tim followed the woman to the door
as she went out. and said, SO that his
mother should not hear, that he had no
more doves, and did not know how 70

How happy Tim was He loved hls
dove better than ever, now that he had
it back again. His mother did not know
until she was quite well how near shs
