The Height of a Tree.

Any person. however ill-infoimed,
might easily get at the exact height of
Il tree when the sun shines, or during
bright moonl ght, by marking two
lines on the ground three feet apart,
and then placing in the ground on the
Inc nearest the sun. st ok that shall
stand exactly three feet out of the
soil When the end of the shadow OF
the stick exactly touches the furthest
Line, then also the shadow of the tree
will be exactly in length the same
measurement as its he ght. OF course,
in such a case. the sun VIII be at an eX-
act angle of forty-tive degrees. Meas
urements of this character could be
best effected in the summer, when the
sun is powerful, has reached to good
heigh: in the heavens, and when the
trees are clothed with living green
so as to cast a dense shadow. To
many to whom this idea may not
have occurred, it might be made annu-
ally matter of interest, thus on warm
summer days to take the height of
prominent trees, and so to compare

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

Labor in the farm workshop on
rainy days pays better than fishing.
There are known to be one hun
dred and seventy-six varieties of insects
that feed on the apple tree.
The. time spent in securing plows,
or running to the shop for repairs,
when the soil is in condition for work
inc is criminal waste The time to put
implements in repair is before their use
is required. All bright surfaces should
have been covered with a mixture of
lamp-black and kerosene and carefully
preserved from abrasion when last put

Corn, says the National Lice Stock
Journal, is the bane of the farmhouse,
as well as other horses, not because it is
not sufficiently nutritious, but because
it makes too much fat and not enough
muscle. The farmer who has only
corn would do well to sell enough to
buy oats for his horses. 1t is Just the
thing for fattening steers; but the very
quality that makes it valuable for that
purpose renders it unfit for horse feed.
No one who has not tried raising
and feeding turnips to sheep, says the
St0ckman, can have full appreciation
of the benefit derived from this cheap
food and in the increased thrift of their
stock. There can be no doubt of the
advantage of the English method
Of feeding compared with ours, if we
compare their immense fat mutton with
ours; and in all the feeding districts OF
the English provinces turnips are fed in
immense quantities,
"A farmer in New York states that
about fifteen years ago he transplanted
huckleberries, of both the high and the
low kinds, from a cold, wet swamp to
dry, gravely soil, where they have
grown taller than in their native spot,

berries. He advises us to set out young
plants. about foot high, in the spring,
and then to mulch them for year or
two, and pillow in some coarse horse
manure occas .onally. They are slow to
start, but after they are started they
grow rapidly, both in bush and berry,

GLADSTONE'S WIFE.
Personal characteristics of One of the
Leading Women In the World.

Personal Characteristics OF One OF the
Leading Women In the World.
Mr.. Gladstone is accused of being
jolly and jaunty of late, but it is not
always mentioned that on all festive
occasions, whether at an artist break
fast or theater party, Mrs. Gladstone
Is always at his side, as was the case
with Mrs. Disraeli and her lord.
Though not handsome, she has fine,
kindly, English-matron presence, and
has exercised great influence over him
all through his life. ''Let me ask Catha-
rine" was constant saying OF his be-
fore deciding on important political
questions. She has great sagacty and
discretion. Many ladies and gentlemen
of remarkable astuteness in their own
estimation have endeavored in vain TO
CLEAN from her the faintest inkling OF
coming events, and her aplomb is as
remarkable as her discretion.
An instance is going the rounds OF
the clubs. When, two years ago, Mr.
Fortescue resigned the Secretaryship
for Ireland in Mr.. Gladstone's Cabinet
he was very anxious to hear what Mr..
Gladstone would say of him in annOunc-
ing the event, but was unwilling to APP
pear upon the scene. He therefore, in.
stead of taking his ordinary place, made
his way to the ladies' cage. The only
occupant he discovered on entering
was the one of all others he would have
avoided seeing-Mrs. Gladstone, He
was about to evince his discompo.urt
in the rugged spasmodic way peculiar
to that flower of Quaker subtlety, and
which was subject occasionally of un.
pleasant observation on his visit here
when the lady, perfectly at her ease
held up her finger, and, shaking he1
head with an air of tender reproval
whispered in low tone; Naughty
naughty" Unlike Lady Beaconsfield
who entertained very little, and wher
she did with great discrimination, Mrs.
Gladstone entertains with large and
promiscuous hospitality, never trouble:
herself about the amalgamation of hei
guests and is Systematically Indifferent
to their assortment at table. Buffalo

Scotch lassie of twenty, dressed in her

her plump pink arm.

GLADsToNE,s SPEECH.

Mr.. GLADSTONE doesn't mince his words
in speaking of Irish affairs. He realizes
the true condition of the Irish question and
without any attempt to belittle it or to
evade discussion of it, he goes right to the
marrow of the whole subject in his Edin-
burg speech. He is frank enough to say
that in the future treatment of this subject
the Liberals will be willing to concede all
the demands of the Irish agitators except a
disunion of the empire. At that point he
draws the line and announces that if the
Liberals are returned to power there will be
no disposition to concede Irish independence.
He goes further and expresses the opinion
that if the Liberals are defeated a union will
be effected between theT Tories and Parnellites
This is frank avowal on the part of the
ex-premier, but it will probably defeat his
party. In all of the English boroughs there
is more OF less of an Irish sentiment. The
PARNELL party will not attempt to concen-
trate it's vote on its own candidates in
boroughs which are hopelessly against them.
In some of these boroughs the vote which
sympathizes with Ireland is strong enough
to hold the balance between the Tory and
Liberal parties. The result of Mr.. GLAD
STONES speech will be to throw this vote
to the Tory candidates with the hope of
securing the conditions which GLADSTONE
predicts in case of Liberal defeat. 1t is
now to the interest of the friends of Ire
land in England and Scotland to work for
the defeat of the Liberal party.

THE GALVESTON BoYCorrERs.

The suspension of the Galveston strike
relieves that city from stage of siege equal
to that of a beleaguered city in time of war;
In some respects this was the most phe-
nomenal labor movement that has yet been
witnessed. Galveston is commercial city
and entirely dependent on its trade for the
support of the population. The strike was
against the steamship companies, whose YES
sells were in port awaiting their cargoes of
cotton. The result was that when the strike
set in the city was in the condition of
city blockaded by hostile army
and fleet. The strikers were deter
mined to carry their point and even
went so far as to threaten to seize the
supplies which were in store in the city in
order that they might be enabled to hold
out during the winter Of course this con-
dition of affairs left the business elements
no alternative but to bring about compro-
mise on any terms that could be obtained.
Their efforts seem to have been successful,
although the dispatches inform us that the
work of boycotting the Mallory line of
freight still goes on. The Mallory steam
ship line was the one which provoked the
trouble with the laborers, and unless it
makes concessions will probably be driven
out of the Galveston trade.

northwest to Pennington, in Northern
Idaho. just as soon as the work can be ac-

miles. There is also proposition to build
feeder to the Northern Pacific. between
Pennington and Spokane Falls, but the
line will not be an actual branch of the
Northern Pacific. but a side line, built and
owned by private parties. 1t is quite use
less for the Northern Pacific to attempt to

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-The Missorr;
river commission, in its annual report to
the secretary of war, says the plan of i'm
provement adopted by the commission for
the lower portion of the river CONCENTRATES
a reduction OF the width of water wavs to
insure stability and approximate uniformity
of slope, width and depth. The commits
sion is satisfied of the engineering feasibil-
ity of the improvement and of the great
benefits likely to follow its completion. but
it is not prepared to estimate its cost. To
do so they are of opinion that the expert
ment should be tried on an extensive scale
and with ample means, so as to cover
considerable length of The river, and secure
the completion of any work undertaken.
Ihey consider that for this purpose annual
appropriations of not less than 1000, 900
should be made. For the upper
river the commission recommend that
iof the present work be mainly confined

Shoals on Rocky river" above Carroll.
Below that point the snag boat should be
kept al work removing distractions and

these purposes and for certain experimental
dams TO be constructed near Bismarck. the
commission recommend an appropriation of
%1oo, oo0. For continuing the survey of
the river and for obtaining the data nee
essary for proper study of the important
interest committed to their charge the com
mission recommend that a separate appro-
prIatlon be made, which shall also provide
Tor salaries Of the commissioners and for
office and travelling expenses. For this pur-
pose $4,000 is asked. The commission
recommend that the $4,000 appropriated
on the last river and harbor bill for surveys
above Fort Benton, but not expended, be
reappropriated and made available for sur
veys below Fort Benton. The total ex-
penditures of the commission during the
