ed. By doing this now, the trouble Of
saving off large branches some years
later will be avoided. Crafts that were
inserted this spring, and are beginning to
grow, should be treated as if they were
young trees and brought into proper
shape by judicious pruning. If one bud
on a graft takes The lead of all the others,
stop ii by pinchiDg. In short, treat a
graft as If it were a young tree planted in
the soil, instead Of being planted in an
other tree. II shoots appear upon grape
vines where they are not wanted, removs

pruned, numerous buds will start upon

Origin of the Term "Blue Blood"

This term, which is so often heard used
in connection with people who claim to
be Of aristocratic birth, is derived from
the Spanish phrase "sangreazu." Its real
meaning Is, not that the blood itself is blue
excepting that all n blood has a
blush tinge), but that the person or class
to whom the term is applied have skins
so white and transparent that the veins
show blue through them, and this is ia.
ken as a certain indication that the class
of persons thus designated are without
an admixture of races. Any one who has
travelled in SPANISH American countries,
or in Spain, where the term originated,
would see at once its applicability. The
descendants of the Gothic conquerors Of
Spain retain to this day the characters.
tics of their ancestors, the white, trans.
parent skin, blue eyes and auburn or
tawny hair, and their veins show blue
through their c%uticle; but in case of an
admixture Of African or Moorish blood
the blue blood %(veins) gradually disap-
pears, until in case of a great preponder-
ancc of the latter races the veins show
merely as ridges. Tourists in Mexico
will notice this popularity in all Mexican
cities, as well as in the haciendas
throughout the country, on account Of
the great admixture Of Indian aztec,
Toltec and Tlascaian) blood in the popu-
lation, and everywhere they will find that
the people whose veins show through the
skin are the ruling class.

commenced looking for suckers An old,

get fifteen dollars for nothing, dropped i'll a
V, got his cough drops, and came very near
putting in the balance of his bundle. Some
one advised him to open up what he had
before he invested any more; he did so and
one by one the little cough drops found their
way To his mouth, but the twenty dollar bill
never turned up. Pretty dear cough drops,
but the experience may be worth the money.
