Prospect For Apple Orchards.

At recent meeting OF the Western
New York Farmers Club, the question
Need Orchardists be Discouraged?n
was discussed. Mr.. Quimby said that
some orchardists hsd ceased to hope in
consequence of three successive fail
ures, and were digging up their trees,
as the land was more valuable for farm
crops. But he thought the failure only
temporary, and that with good man
agement orchards will continue to
bear well in the future. Some, with
the best treatment, had borne well the
past season. There were instances in
past years where apple orchards had
yielded as high as $500 and even $1,000
per acre. He would renovate old or
chards or plant new ones. Mr.. Rogers
said his experience had been unfayor-
able. He planted an orchard eighteen
years ago on rich land, but it had borne
little. Mr.. Simmon said that thrifty
orchards had been dug up because the
land was worth more for farm crops.
1t appears that these trees had grown
too fast, for a case was reported of an
orchard which bore good crop, which
had not been plowed for many years;
and Mr.. Quimby mentioned the case Of
tree girdled by mice two-thirds around
under snow-drift, which bore heavy
crop, all the other trees being barren.
Mr.. Reed had observed thattrees which
had been bruised by teams bore better
than others. 1t appears that the trees
in some of these orchards on very rich
land had been too highly cultivated;
although cases were reported of barren
orchards in grass. Shelby Reed said
his orchard bore better than usual the
past season, and from four acres he
had $500 worth of fruit. Some of the
speakers had allowed their orchards to
be killed by the canker worm; others
destroyed the insects easily with Paris
green. Seasons and unfavorable in
fluences can not be controlled, but en-
perience has already proved that great
benefit has been derived from intelli-
gent and vigilant management. Old
orchards which have made little growth
indicated by the length of the annual
shoots-have been brought into abund-
ant bearing by a oopious and broad
cast top-dressing with yard manure,
and by judicious pruning, cutting out
dead branches, and thinning the outer
part where the growth was 100 thick.
The canker worm is easily DESTROYED
with Paris green, and the codling worm
killed by spraying several times with
Paris green, in seven hundred times its
bulk OF water, when the young fruit is
the size of cherries. On poor land,
cultivation and manuring will often
give moderate crops every year when
bearing was only in alternate years be-
fore. Early thinning of fruit in abund-
ant years promotes annual bearing,
and gives finer apples.

Etiquette for Chinese Women.

A young girl walking in the street
must not turn her head round; nor ut
home is she to glance shyly at visitors.
She is to remember, moreover, that
girls who are always laughing and
talking are not esteemed; and that vir-
tuous women have been honored from
the earliest times. The philosopher
Mendze grieved when he saw his moth
er break her shuttle; the woman Tson
threw herself on a sword to save her
husbands life; the mother of 40, being
SO poor that she could not buy writing
materials, taught her son to read by
tracing characters in the sand. Wo-
men should be able to read, write and
use the counting machine, so as to be
in position to direct household. They
should read books of piety and stories
OF morality in action, while avoiding
loye-poetry, songs and anecdotes. Wo-
men should be reserved; and they are
cruelty enjoined not to occupy them
selves with other peoples affairs. Men
ought never to talk OF domestic affairs,
while woman should never talk of any
thing else. When visitor is in the
drawing-room the lady of the house
should not be heard raising her voice
in the kitchen. Women are not to
paint their faces and wear striking
colors, for the sufficient reason that if
they do men will look at them. Young
women, as well as young men, are to
be dutiful to their parents and always
in good humor, even when their father
and mother are not. They are to ask
them whether they are hot or whether
they are cold; to take them food and
drink and to furnish them with new
boots and shoes. When a young girl
is grown up and married to an honest
man she must not forget her parents,
and once or twice year must ask per-
mission of her husband to 90 and see
them. "From the highest authority
until the present day the rule in mar
rage has been that the husband COM
mands and the wife obeys." Virtue in
wife consists in having an even tenn
per; and to arrive at this much must
be supported. If the first wife has
not the happiness to give her husband
male child he chooses a person lie
loves in order to have by her a son
who will perpetuate his line. 1t is nee
essary under these circumstances"
says the Manual, mot to give way
to jealousy, but TO live together on
friendly terms in the same house. At
present great discussions take place
between first and second wives. Out Of
q hundred first wives YOU will hardly
find one of sweet and affable disp0-
sition. | have taken great pains
adds the author, sin writing this para
graph. Do not read it thoughtlessly."
If, however. he had been more thought
full himself it might have occurred to
him that the want of sweetness and at
liability which he deplores in ''iirst
wives" is the result less of character
than of circumstances, and that it
would show itself equally in second
wives if they too in their turn were TO
be replaced. James Gazette.

In 1880 came from the North to take charge Of
the gas works in Rome, superintendent, and
after the overflow, which occurred in the spring
following, was very much exposed to malaral
poison, ana in 1852 found my blood so contamina-
ted with the poison that was forced to give up
business. l was treated by the physicians without
relief.
My trouble finally determined in an abscess of
the liver and nearly every one myself included)
thought was doomed to die within few days.
In this condition was advised by friend to take
Swift's Specific, and took 1t just as q drownin z
man would catch at straw, but as soon as my
system got under the influence OF the remedy, the
abscess came to point and burst, passing off
without pain. In fifteen days after this / was up
at my work and have since enjoyed excellent
health.
Every sufferer from malarial poison should take

An Arl,ansas .Icrmlt.

The death Of Ajrahan Becker is re-
ported. He lived on Wattcasod bayou,
in Prairie county Ark, aud earned
livelihood by trapping ana fishing. 1t
Is claimed he was a native vi Syracuse,
n. L., where he has many wealthy rel
atiyes. His abode was a tumble-down
hut; his only companions two big dogs.
he led hcrmit-like existence, shun-
ming mankind. Singular stories con-
corning him are related. 1t was said
he had been forced into voluntary exile
to escape punishment for awful crimes,
and that he had large sums of money
hidden about his lonely cabin. Rumor
likewise stated that he had once been
a counlerfeiter lie sold fl h at
neighboring town, arriving and depart
ING like a shadow, He spoke to few,
and his tac.turn manner checked awk-
ward inquiries concerning his history.
He was missed from his usual haunts
at the beginning of last week, and GU
rlosity inspired party of men to visit
his dwelling, No sign of life was any
where visible around it. The visitors
pushed open the door and entered.
Becker was found dead on pallet.
Life had been extinct some time. The
remains were guarded by the dogs,
who grow.ed iiercely, and who tried to
drive away the intruders. Whether
the old hermit had been strangled or
died from ma ural causes was q matter
OF conjecture. No money or food was
found anywhere in the hut, where pow
erty and desoIation had apparently
taken up their abode. AS in life, so in
death, Becker preserved the secrets of
the past, leaving no letters or papers
through which they might be disclosed
There are persons who claim that MUIR
der and robbery ended his career, but
coroncr's inquest was of the opinion
that he came to his death from want
and exposure. He was buried near
his hut. The dogs, faithful to the end,
followed him to the grave, and showed
deepest grief when the earth hid him

The Defendant's Attorneys are Conaden
of Success.

Colonel S. w. Downey and Hon. H. v.
S. Groesbeck came down to Cheyenne
yesterday forenoon and spent the remain
der of the day in consulting authorities
and decisions in the Territorial Library
that are supposed 10 throw some light on
the Cook murder case, which is to come
up for hearingi in the Supreme Court on
Tuesday next. The regular attorneys for
Cook are Messrs- Downey and Mcintyre,
but Mr. Groesbeck is assisting somewhat
in looking up points eentended for on the
part ofthe defendant, and may partici-
pate in the argument Of the case when it
is reached.
There are thirteen assignments of error
made in this case, some of which are said
to raise very nice points Of law.
One of the main points on which Cook
relies in order to obtain a new trial, as
stated by his counsel, is the fact Gas they
claim that the jury were allowed to sepa-
rate during the trial, which factit is claim
ed is shown by the record IN the case.
While there are many other points in
the case, his attorneys appear to rely more
confidently upon this than upon any other
or perhaps alEother points raised in the
case. nl ~ l
What the attorney for the Territory viii
have to show upon this point cannot be
