trees has been ~contradicted, some have
tried it aud concluded that the practices
did more harm than good, The rough
bark is a protection to trees from sudden
changes of temperature. The benefit
often claimed from scrsping the tree
comes from the greater attention paid
TO them in other respects by men who
take this trouble. Whitewashing apple
trees is equally inefectual for good.

A Choice MorseI.

We take the following choice morsel
from little book entitled Poultry for
Pleasure and Poultry for Profit"
All things are given to us for our
pleasure or our profit. AS soon as thing
ceases to be of one or the other,i it is of no
use ;and as long as it does give us pleasure
or profit, it is good for us. By pleasure,
1 wish to be understood the innocent,
harmless enjoyments of life. which make
one better, and no one worse: by profit,
that which is of gain to us, at no other
ones loss.
We are so constituted that we desire
and must have some kind of recreation.
The professional man, man of business,
merchant, clerk, mechanic, and all 9th
ers, after day of work and application,
enjoy rest: and it is the best form Of
rest to have something to enjoy-some-
thing to look at and care for that is
pleasing. 1t is like the cool drink of
water from the old oaken bucket to the
tired laborer. 1t is both rest and re.
freshment.
To this class of men there are two
things which seem especially we'll adapt
ed. They give rest and reward. One is
good garden, the other is well-kept
flock of fowls. believe good garden,
with flowers and growing vegetables, will
almost insure happiness in doors; and a
flock of clean, healthy, csckling fowls
will make a pleasant husband or wife,
and happy children. 1t is hard to cal
culate the value of such flock.
On the other hand, it is not a wonder
there are SO many quarreling, brawling
families, when we consider how many
ill-mated, quarreling and diseased focks
of fowls there are; some sneezing with
the Group, and rolling to get rid of the
million of mites whibh infest their quar-
ters, black hens, dirty white hens, yell
low hens, brown hens, speckled hens
some with top-knots, some with none
some with tail feathers, some with none
combs and toes frozen; they roost on the
wagon, and lay-if they lay at all-in
the wood-pile; they look scrawny, dirty
and saucy, and seem to hate them
selves.
When we see a yard like that, nine
cases in ten the man of the house never
calls his wife by loving, tender names,
and the children speak of the father as
the sold man" Is it a wonder that a
man who has such flock of fowls goes
to the insane asylum2

fowls is an unsafe person for girl to

seaIstIn and Seal CatohInr.

"Seal fur will never become cheaper, F"
said a New York dealer TO q Nail and
Express representative. 'eThey may get
higher priced though, unless some new
seal hunting places are discovered in
some part of this globe"
"Why will it never become cheaperp ~
"There arc only four seal grounds Of
any importance in the world-the islands
Of st. George and st. Paul in Behring's
sea, which belong to the Territory Of
Alaska, and the other two are the Com
mander islands, lying zoo miles west
of these in the cars dominions.
The first two islands produce the great.
est number of seals. During the months
of NAV and June they come TO these
islands in focks OF thousands. Then
the great slaughter takes place to supply
the fashionable world with sealsllin
sacques. The Alaska Seal Fur company
kill about 100, 600 seals annually. They
pay the natives forty cents for each seal
they kill and skin. No firearms are
used, as it would drive the animals away
and spoil the island as a seal resort.
They are killed with a single blow Of a
club on the head. Then the skins are
quickly removed, partially cured and
prepared for shipment &c England, where
they are dressed and dyed.
at takes a great deal Of care and
work to bring the fur to the rich and
glossy perfection il shows when wrapped
around the form of a fashionable lady.
First, all the coarse hairs are removed
and then the fur is dyed the shade re-
quired. But it takes experts to do this,
and in London only the art seems
to be we'll understood Now, the
value of sealskins depends entire
ly upon their successful treat
ment, and the color and smoothness of
permanent nature attained. 1t takes
three of the sealskins to make full-sized
cloak. They should last the wearer
seven years without losing their rich
color, and at the same time retain their
perfect appearance. The best cloaks are
worth over $40e apiece. The finest fur
comes from young seals, between the
ages of two and three years. When they
get beyond the age of four the fur be-
comes stiff somewhat. At six years of
age they are utterly worthless. Now,
the great question is, how long will
these seals last1 and if they take a notion
to desert these four islands, where will
they go2 The United States, it is true,
has restricted the number to be killed
annually at 100, 900, yet at this rate will
they not finally become extincti Some
think they increase so fast that this num-
Der is scarcely missed. Well, that may
be true. But the great danger is that
they may take a notion to emigrate to
unknown parts of the world. In that
case the sealskin sacque that figures so
prominently as an article of dress and
fashion now will become obsolete and
added to the history of the dodos."

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

A German engineer has invented an
electric target on which hand indicates
the exact point where the bullet strikes
1t. That ingenious arrangement will do
away with human pointers, and effectu-
ally prevent many accidents to life and
limb.
A process has been invented by Pro.
fessor Eder of the State industrial school
at Vienna, which he calls orthochromatic
photography, and which enables the
photographer to reproduce colors in ex-
actly the same tones as they appear to
the eye.
Cork, when carbonized, produces
62.SO per cent. pure charcoal, the great.
est per cent. of any known wood. Will
low, wheat straw and oak rank next in
the order named, while maple and poplar
are SS. 75 and 31.12, or lat the very foot
of the list.
Several agricultural chemists of Ger
many have been studying to improve
heavy soils, and now recommend lime as
dressing. The crop for the first season
should be potatoes; for the second, oats
for third the tares, or peas; and for the
fourth potatoes again.
There are nineteen known metals val
ued at over 81, 900 per avoirdupois pound.
The most costly is vanadium, which is
said to be worth $4,000 pound. OF
these nineteen metals only one is pro-
duced or used to any considerable ex.
tent, and that is iridium, which is valued
at $1.090 per pound. 1t is sometimes,
but very sparingly, used in electrical ex.
periments.
TEMPERATURE PERcEPTIoN.-A Ger
man physiologist, Professor Gutenberg,
has found that different parts of the
body are very unequally sensitive to diff
ferences of heat and cold, the sense of
temperature being most acute in the
forehead and the back of the hands, and
least active in the back and the upper
part of the abdomen. At the former
spots differences of about third of
Fahrenheit degree we're distinctly per-
ceived, but at the other two points diff
ferences were only detected when reach
ing nearly two degrees.

The Trumpet.

The trumpet is universally popular
musical instrument, and appears to have
been known in all ages and all countries.
1t is said to have derived its name from
tuEbo, a shell. 1t is constructed in mod
ern times several feet in length, doubled
up In parabolic form and sounded by
a mouthpiece. The trumpet has always
played prominent part in battle, as an
alarm or summons; few things are more
inspiriting than flourish of trumpets.
The old Eastern custom of proclaiming
DEGREES or public notices with the sound
OF the trumpet has bequeathed us the
vulgar saying with regard to a loud,
boasung person: SIS his trumpeter deadY"
The twin brother Of the trumpet. the
horn, owes its origin to the custom of
blowing through the hollow horn of an
animal.

Sailors call the sea "Davy Jones's

there. Dayy is a corruption of "duffy, -

A Talk with a Photographer.

It is the hardest thing in the world

natural position, or expression of ccunte-
nance. They will put a kind of Unto

when they come into the gallery and it
generally stays there. Then the way
some women dress They have an idea
that the more colors they get on, the bet
ter they look, and the result is that when
they see their photograph and the curl
Gus effect produced by the colors, they'll
blame the photographer, though we al
ways tell them beforehand. Nearly all
persons look better in picture than in
reality, except those having clear com
plexions. Some ladies, for instance,
would be considered beautiful in side
view of their features, while front view
is decidedly disappointing. OF course
in photographing them, we take the side
view. Some look better with hat on
and some in full outdoor costume. But
there is one thing you may not know,
and that is very few ladies look we'll
