Obesity and Fluids.

much discussed. Formerly it was
generally assorted that the victims

and reduce the fat by abStaining as
much as possible from liquids and
remainingsin, Il continual state of

been affirmed, and am told that
a reduction Of weight-is one OF the
results claimed by ''tho hot water

Experiments have been made in
Paris by DR.. Debove which con

Still, 1t is quite possible that the
old theory of hot water cure may
both be correct. Both violate the
natural condition Of health. Scald-

Transplanti,.g Fruit Trees.

Tho TRANSFORMING of fruit trees
is very simple and effective when
properly understood. Trees should
never be planned in a square or
ronnd hole, such as you would dig
for setting a post. Many trees
tranSplanted in this way die, much
to the discouragementoY the plant
er, who attributes his failure to the
insects, drought or anything rather
than to the manner of transplant
ing. A good plan is TO take a plough
and break out The whole length Of
the row each way, checking fifteen,
twenty to fifty feet each way, us
you may elect, running five or six
or more burrows each way, making
sure to break the Land lis deep as
you wish to set the trees. 1t is
best to use Il two horse plough;tllen
i'll each check you c;ln draw out the
earth a sufficient width and depth
to suit the roots of tho tree to lie
planted. Trim I'LL broken roots
smoothly and strilighten them out
at full length in the hole; cover up
carefully SO as to get the earth firm
around each root. then fill up the
hole and press the soil down firmly
with the foot. Not one tree in a
thousand will die if planted this
way, providing the tree was all
right when 1t was set out.
AS general rule, trees should he
transplanted to the same depth
that they stood in The nursery, or
where they were grown. Dwarf
pear trees are an exception to this
rule, and should be planted deep
enough for the union of the pear
and it's ounce roots to be below
The surface Of the ground, SO that
natural roots may shoot out from
the rear i'll course of time, thereby
converting tie dwarf into {. stand
ard tree.
The object in breaking the land
each way as above advised, isln
order that the roots may have free
access to lose, mellow earth, to
run into in every direction from the
tree. II only small number of
trees are to be planted IL wattock
or spading fork would suffice, using
care to break the ground each way
several feet from where the tree is

Martha Washington as a Beauty.

Martha Washington was very
pretty girl, but not a very good
looking old woman. As she ma
tured she grew stout; aud, though
her picture represents her as Il
beauty, the current history of the
times says she was a plainly
dressed, robust old woman who
looked older than her husband
She was not noted for her socia,
nor intellectual qualities. She
could not spell, ana probably did
not.i'ead book from one end of
the year to the other. She was a
sort Of goody-goody woman, who
almost always had knitting needles
in her hands and who thought she
did a great thing when she saved
Tie rawlings of lot of old black
silk stockings and worn out char
covers and wove them into II dress
for herself. She was very proud of
her husband; and they show the
little room in the second story of
the home at Mount Vermont which
she secluded herself after his death,
seeing no one for months, and only
allowing a cat to enter the room
through a hoe which was cut un

Facts About Our Food.

The old saying tlat"wonders nev-

day in trade, and some OF the trade
happenings nowadays arc so aston

steam, and it's twin genii, electrici

recent instance where, to relieve
the over.Stocked California syrup
market, a shipment was made by
sailing vessels from San Francisco
to New York. When The vessels ar
rived here the New York market
was so low that ~ portion OF the
same syrup was reShiped BY rail to
California and sold there alta prof

Peaches are now shipped from
the Pacific coast TO New York by
rail, thus anticipating Eastern
growths. During the past winter
eggs were imported from Liver
pool, and cabbage from Holland
and Germany, while potatoes from
tamine-Stricken Ireland are not I'M
common in this market. Whenev-
Ell the least scarcity prevails in any
market the news is flashed to the
point Of supply-nnder the ocean
and around the world even-and
steam hurries supplies wherever
demand prevails. Steam and cleo
tricity have become great Jewelers.

but in the value of the land which

The wonders wrought by the loco
motive crowd SO fast upon us that
they seem more like romance than
reality. Twenty years ago Mime

j. l.. Ferguson, representing Phila-

Brennan last Monday for violating the
new ordinance which forbids selling to
consumers within the city without first
paying the peddler's license of $3.50 per
day. He protested, but the Mayor told
him that as this was the first Offense, he
would give him the alternative of going
to the City Clerk and paying the 81 so
license or fine of $25. 90 and costs. He
chose the former, and was licensed as a
foot peddler for one day. We hope to
SEQ this ordinance strictly enforced, and
believe the Mayor will see to it. 1t is
not just that transient vendors should be
allowed to enter the city at pleasure and
retail their wares without paying tax,
while our resident business men who are
here to stay and pay the taxes, suffer the
results of such competition. Make them
