d. Delaunay, Of Paris, has made an
extended and careful investigation TO
ascertain If in the majority Of cases the
right upper and lower extremity be
crossed over the left or the left over the
right, and which side most persons in
cline to when in sitting pasture. Ac-
icorGng to NJ. Delaunay, certain breeds
OF dogs, terriers, Newfoundlands and
ipoodles cross the right foot over tho
left. The Chinese and japanese cross
the left over the right. Europeans
cross the right over the left. NJ. De-
launay observed. in the ''creeehes and
sale d aisles," that infants under three
years Of age cross the left arm over the
right, older children crossing the right
over the left, sixty per cent. doing SO at
SIX years of age. Robust children
cross the right arm over the left; the
:idiotic and weak, including those who
are incapable of working, cross the left
over the right. The Calmucks aud
Arabs cross the right over the left, like
the Europeans. A great many women
cross the left Leg over the right. Among
the opera-dancers, some cross the right
leg over the left. bat not one the left
over the right; the majority cross the
left over the right or the right over the
left indifferently. Robust children cross
the right leg over the left earlier than
their weaker playmates. Persons who
cross the right leg over the left lean
toward the left when sitting; those who
place the left uppermost lean to the right
Hence, consistently with what might
have been expected from what Is OBJ
served in children with regard to cross
ing legs, until six years of age children
lean toward the left. French school
masters, it would appear. try to pre-
vent their pupils from assuming this
position, believing that scoliosis results;
hence they encourage or enforce the use
of elbow rests (accoudoirs), which oblige
the children to sit straight, a useless
measure according to M. Delaunay, as
the position they choose is in conformity
with the process of evolution. Tailors
affirm that the back of pair of trousers
is always more worn on the left side
than on the right. Left-handed people
always sit toward the right. M. De
launay concludes from these observa
tons that the left brain develops pre-
viously to the right, and finally the RICH

Soon after tree In set is should be
literally mulched with partially decsyed
leaves, covering the ground q little be-
yond where the roots extend. Te keep
the leaves from blowing away they
should be covered with stones, sticks Of
wood or short pieces of boards. Never
heap up any material about the trunk
of q tree except fresh earth. The mulch
should be spread evenly on the ground.
and care should be taken not to let it
dry through during o drouth, but il
should be watered as often as it shows
any indication of being dry. In o very
dry time not only should the mulching
the ground few feet beyond should be
watered. On cultivated land the mulch
ing may be omitted, if the land be light
and loose on the surface. It is impor.

only o small space where the roots Of
the tree are to be watered, the water Is
veryrapidly absorbed by the surrounding
dry soil, and thus prevent vigorous
growth, if it does not dry the tree up
entirely before the owner is aware Of 1t.
Having properly cared for the roots
of the newly set tree, the top should be
the next care, especially if it be tree
with long trunk before coming to the
branches. The practice of cutting of
ali OF the lateral branches is so universe
that almost every tree that is set hat

smpreyed Methods On the Farm.

There are very few farms in this
country, East or West, that, have ever
been made to produce over fifty per
cent. of their capacity, and very few
farmers capable of making even one
hundred acres do more than this. A
vast majority of those who own more
would be benefited by selling the sur.
plus and using the proceeds as q capital
% improve the remaining acres, and by
purchasing better stock.
The little Island Of Jersey is said 70
maintain one animal to every two acres
on the island, including roads, fences
and the ground occupied by buildings.
Their farms average about ten acres.
In q very few instances in this country
one animal has been supported to each
improved acre. This proves what is
possible under the best management.
The best talent, the intensest study, the
most knowledge and the best business
methods should be, and viii be, devoted

professions are overstoeked. Doctors
