THE GERMAN" DANCE.
what sam Jones. the Preacher,
Said at Waco.

Sow germans-I understand this city
thing-sow germans and reap spider
legged dudes. They are the legitimate
oflsprings OF germans. That's the truth.
They can SOW all the spider legs you
want to. That's the end OF logic when
you get to spider legs. You might reap
half thlmblefull OF calls foot jelly. but
you cannot get any lower than that.
Now let me tell you. have Ms much
respect for any gentleman or lady as
anyone In the world ought to have,
love the character OF poor girl IA much
as love my life; but. young lady, when
you walk out on the floor In german
dance and allow young man to put his
arm around your waist. you have taken
one step to far. ] will tell you another
thing. II girls could hear these boys
talk about yourself, your waist, your
form, you would not let them do so any
more. This Internal arm-clutching Is a
part OF the german. A young lady that

Girls. You Must Not Fllrt.

There Is another feature of the case,
says the oross-eyed man of the Pittsburg
Chronicle, who was evidently suffering
from severe case of snubbing, which
should be carefully considered by flirting
young women. Whatever ideas they
may entertain to the contrary, 1t may be
set down as an absolute truth that when
IL respectable young man desires the ao-
quaintan0e OF one who may some day be
his wife he does not go out on the street
and seek TO make that acquaintance by
Irritation; III direct opposition, such a
one he would not marry under any.clr-
cumstanoes, for he desires that his wife,
like Cesar's, shall ''be above suspicion"
The flirting girl should bear in mind that
she is aby-word among those with whom
she fllrts. and that the prolonged indul-
gence of her folly will but serve to fasten
stigma upon her name which will long
outlast her years of indlscretion, and
will cause her TO be stunned by wife
seeking young men through knowledge
OF her former reputation.

On the rail, on steamboat, aboard q
fishing smack, or catching on the coast,
lIostetter's Stomach Bitters will be
found reliable means of averting and
relieving ailments to which travellers,
mariners and emigrants are peculiarly
subject. Sea captains, ship doctors,
voyagers or sojourners in the tropics,
and all about to encounter unacclimated,
and unacoustomed or dangerous climate,
should not neglect to avail themselves
of this safeguard OF well ascertained and
long-tried merit. Constipation, bilious
ness, malarlal fevers, Indigestion, rheu5
matism and affections Of the bladder and
kidneys are among the ailments which
1t eradcates, and Il may be resorted to
not only with confidence In Its remedial
efficacy, but also in its perfect freedom
from every Objectionable ingredient,
since 1t Is derived from the purest and
most salutary sources. 1t counteracts
the effects Of unwholesome food and
water.

AS Usual.

Now lovers fond In lcafy lanes
Together walk;
And Corydon exerts his pains.
While Phyllis coy to listen deigns,
And suffers him
To talk.
Though poor the youth protests he loves
Her as his life.
They'll live, he swears, like turtle doves
He begs her, squeezing tight her gloves
To be his own
Dear wife.
But Phyllis has a richer beau.
Ia loves ways def,
Next day he comes his fate to know,
She's going to scoop him In, and So
Poor Cory dear
Gets left.

He Told Her So.

On the rear seat of fremont street
car were two gentlemen, INDUCING
themselves In that vice only allowed on
the three rear seats. They were
strangers to each other. However, they
exchanged few commonplace remarks
about the variable New England
weather, and, finally, the younger man,
spying female down on the front seat
wearing "a ridiculous old trap of bon
net" which was, in fact, the latest love
of feminine headgoar, loosely gave ex-
preston to his thoughts, and closed by
inquirirg OF his neighbor If he didn't
think the bonnet "most ripe enough to
shoot" Eyes, doln said the elder man
emphatically. "Now that's my wife,"
he added, by way of explanation, "and
| told her when she brought the thing
home that some fool would make fun OF
it before she'd worn 1t 20 minutes" -

Florence Mnrryatt,s Advice.

Miss Marryatt says: ave must sit on
the men,
In lecture addressed to her sex;
We must sit on them once and then sit
again;
IT'S the way to solve problems that
veX.
"As you've done In the past continue to
do;
The men will be wiser for II;
Wherever you fine male biped or two,
Sit down on them, sisters, o sit"
We interpret this vigorous injunction to
mean
If to Illustrate we nre allowed
That women must sit nor behind nor be-
tween,
But always on men in crowd.
This win simplify matters upon the
street cars
II the women, whenever they sit,
VIII look DER the lot, when the seats are
so scarce,
And pick out a man that will fit.
lr case explanation Is needed of that,
We would add this is just what we
mean;
That fat women sit on the men that are
fat,
And lean ones on those that are lean

Transplanting in Spring and Fall.

Owing to excessive drought hundreds Of spring
planted things have passed away. Shall this be
an argument for fall plantingl Yes, and no.
Yes if we willing to believe that fall is at
least as good as spring; no, if we ever expect to
get complete immunity from all loss in planting
trees 1t must be remembered that trees die
after transplanting from lack of moisture. They
dry out Trees die in winter and in summer
that have not been transplanted, just the same
az II they had been, II the moisture does not get
into the branches fast as it dries out A
transplanted tree has worse chance in this
respect than one not transplanted. First, be-
cause it has lost some of its roots secondly, DO
cause the earth does not set as tightly against
the roots as before; for, no matter how we'll
tree may be transplanted, some of the
roots will not be in close contact with
the earth, and then it may as
we'll not have that much root, for the root must
be in close contact with the earth before it can
get any moisture from it. 1t is for this reason
that very often tree with splendid" roots, and
well planted" will die before one that has poor
roots the very thick mass preventing the earth
from getting close in around each one. A
fall-plaEted tree has this great advantage that
the heavy fall rains have tendency to carry
the earth in and around the roots while the low
temperature following is unfavorable to any ex-
cessive evaporation from the branches The only
enemy to be feared is excessively cold and dry
ing winds.
In spring planting we not only have the diff
Guilty of packing the earth well in among the
roots, but have the possibility of heat and
drought Immediately following. Aside from
these theoretical reasonings. the experience of
the last last few seasons has been very favorable
to the success of fall planting AS early as il
can be done in the fall the better Another
lesson of the season relates to watering in dry
time; water will not supply the place of short
ened roots of soil ill-packed in. but it is some
good to the roots that can reach the earth. But
the chief trouble is that people seldom commence
to water till the tree is in dying condition. and
when it is too late to be of any service. The
intelligent gardener waters before the plant
needs it badly. and this is one of the gardeners
arts that a stupid fellow can never learn, and
which, after all. only be well taught by ex-
perience. And in watering it is rather an injury
than benefit to pour the water on the surface.
This compacts the earth, and it dries out sooner
than if not watered But if basin be made
about the tree, water poured in, and as soon as
the water soaks away the soil filed in again
llghtly-not pressed iL-such watering is great
benefit Again, pruning is great help to
tree suffering from drought after transplantlng.
IT, with all the care in watering or otherwise
some branches do not push into growth freely,
cut them back at once
