GROWING APPLE TREES. The first
few years of the life OF an apple tree
is the most important period for ex.
ercjsing care and diligence IN regard to
pruning. A we'll known pomologist
once said that he could grow a model
apple orchard and never prune with
any other implement than a jack
knife. He would begin with the tree
as soon as it was taken from the nur-
serv, and would at once begin to form
the future top. Then Is the time to
avoid ~crotehes, which will be almost
sure to split in after years, and to
begin at the top at the right height
aud in the proper shape. One is apt to
begin at the top too low; it looks higher
on q small tree than on a large one. 1t
may not be desirable for the general
grower 10 undertake to do all pruning
by means of a knife, but he can always
use it to good advantage. Excessive
pruning of large trees should always be
avoided.

the domestic hen produces only fifteen
or twenty eggs; in its second, 100 or
more, up to 100; in its third year, from
800 to I25. and here the climax of fer
tIlity is reached; in its fourth year, it
produces from 100 to us; in its fifth,
from sixty to eighty; in its sixth, from
fifty to sixty; in its seventh, from thirty

Wanting to buy few precious stones
to distribute among my friends before |

sde. interviewed diamond merchant
down town. and while we were compar-
ing the gems the conversation turned
upon the difficulty OF identifying dia-
monds. Some people assert that they
can recognize certain stone as accu.
ratcly as other people can recognize a
certain man. You take your diamonds
TO be cleaned or reset, and you are sure
that you receive the same stonos again,
although others less valuable, or even
paste limitations, may have been substi-
tuted. But the experts are sure that
they can never be deceived unless the
stone has been recut. Upon this point
the diamond merchant told me good
story.
One day another firm Ia tho same
business-call it Smith & Jones-sent
him diamond which was very fine and
very cheap. 1t was set in ring 80 that
he could not weigh it, but after exam.
lining it carefully he concluded that its
cheapness must be caused by some de-
feet and so he returned it TO the owners.
The next week an agent called
with another fine cheap stone, which
my friend concluded to purchase. Be-
fore binding the bargain he thought he
would take it over TO Smith & Jones
and see what they said about It. They
praised it enthusiastically. "Why, it's
a bargain!' cried Smith; and so my
friend bought the diamohd.
"Ahap said Jones. when thcy met
the next day, "you did buy our stone
after all, and you paid fifty dollars mora
for it than we asked for IL originally. "
This was gall and wogmwood. NV
friend hurried back to his Office and
looked at the diamond Sure enough,
it was the stone which Smith & Jones,
had sent to him. The clever firm had
angled for him through an agent and
caught him nicely. He matched the
diamond, had pair of earrings made
and bided his time.
AT last he gave the earrings and his
price to an agent and sent him out ia
sell them. The agent came back and
said: Smith S Jones want one Of
these stones. win you split tho par?''
"Yes," said the diamond merchant,
"sell them this one" and he took one

TIE ravages of cholera in Spain

TIE ravages of cholera in Spain
are terrible. The fearful disease is |
carrying of hundreds Of victims
daily, and little seem to be opera
tive in checking it. The two great |
essential conditions to such whole |
sale fatility are ignorance and filth.
The first does not allow the people
to take suitable hygienic precau-
tions to fit themselves for success,
fully withstanding the approach of
the disease. 1t also prevents them
from taking advantage of medical
treatment in time to be beneficial.
Many are even opposed to using
medicine in such cases, and hence
whole families die. Filth, as the
second condition, is a friend to a
large proportion of diseases, but es-
pecially such as cholera. Yet the
most stringent sanitary regulations
fail or are neglected, owing to the
criminal carelessness of q certain
proportion of the people, who are
usually the first to want to fly from
danger when it does come. There
seems to be all unfortunate disposi.
tion in mankind to ignore and prac.
tically disregard all measures Of a
preventive character, though they
will yield to vigorous energy and
excitement when the enemy has
come. Medical men can now count

An acute Washington lawyer
has made the interesting discovery
that there are several thousand Am
erican citizens, not in the civil, mil
itary or naval service, who are law
fully invested with titular rank.
These are officers of the late war,
who, after being mustered out Of
the service, received brevet commits
sions from the president or frcm
governor. Commissions of this
character confer honorary rank du-
ring tie lifetime of the recipients.
Anomalous as it may seem, some of
the most distinguished generals of
the Union army are not entitled to
honorary rank. For example, Gen.
Logan and Ger. Butler. who were
full ma jor. generals, and not brevet-
ted with higher rank, ceased to be
generals when they were mustered
out, though TIE title of general is
given them by cou1 ;esv; while Gen.
Blank, who was mustered out as
colonel and brevetted a biigadier-
general, has the undoubted right to
sign himself as such on hotel reg
lister or to place his rank on his
card. From motives Of coed taste
such a right is rarely exercised. AL
this may be surprise To people
with orthodox notions Of republican
simplicity, but, considering the fact
that these giles are due to merit, or
supposed to be, and are not trans
missible, there deees not appear to
be anything il them particularly
dangerous.
Seriously, it would seem that IN
der no form Of government is the
comforting cf distinction for merito-
rious services SO appropriate as IN

TIE season of the year is ap-
preaching in which the educational
energies of the country are to be
operated. The vacation and rest,
in their time and place indispsnsa-
ble, are now ended, and the lahorer
in the field of education must re-
sumo his toll. And while our col
leges and schools are now donning
their armor, it is appropriate that
the average citizen devote some
thought to his personal advance
ment. Regular, systematic hours
should be devoted to study of some
kind, for there is absolutely no man
30 busy with business that he can
not spare half an hour each day to
to increase his stock of knowledge.
There are many who MtHk they
cannot find time, but this is a mis-
take. Further than this, number
of persons animated by the same
desire for improving themselves,
should combine their efforts, and
thus give them the pleasurable ad-
dition of social feature. Debat.
ing clubs, literary societies, scientif.
ic circles,-all or any of these may
be pr&cticed. Nor does it require
much more than an earnest desire
to Improve, in order that such or
ganizations are successful, and
therein lies the incentive for near
ly all to join in the matter. The
season approaching should not be
allowed to pass without q sincere
effort to improve especially in thi
direction.
