Care Of Young Fruit Trees.

If the autumn or summer Is very dry
1t may be necessary to water the trees,
but this is very rarely necessary when
the soil has been properly prepared and
thorough cultivation is given afterward.
This stirring must be over the entire
surface of the orchard, and not around
the tree for a. few feet only The ground
of a peach orchard should always be
cultivated; and of an apple or plum
orchard until the trees have attained
considerable age.
1t nay also be necessary to mulch.
Mulching should always he done before
watering; it is much better. Watering
is the last resort. No matter what the
season, mulch cherry trees. If watering
must be done, remove the surface earth
and afterwards replace it. Then the
water will reach the roots and no crust
will form. Trees are injured by water
ing, ten times as often as by neglect to
water. Likely it is better to apply the
water to the branches than to the roots,
unless the soil is dry. If the trees are
shriveled, or the buds fail to start, wet
the top each evening, being careful not
to use too much water. Often when
tne IoolS are quite ueau, tree may De
coaxed TO grow by thus watering the
trunk and branches. By mulching is
generally understood the application of
litter or other material to the surface of
the soil, to prevent both the evaporation
of moisture and hardening of the sur
face. A layer of very fine earth on the
surface produces the good effects of
muching with litter, ETC., and the re-
suits of thoroughly cultivating the or
chard is not merely to keep down the
weeds, but it secures layer OF fine
earth, which acts as mulch upon the

A Russian NObleman's Adventure.

A Paris letter says: A Russian Consul,
Count Dimitri de Noroff, who often stops
at Paris, has good reason to thank his
stars for singular piece of luck. Two
months ago he met in a cafe two gentle
men, faultlessly got up, with whom he
entered into conversation. During a
stroll on the Boulevard, which they
afterwards took together, the two ruff
fans knocked him down without warn
| ing and ran away with 1000 roubles,
or G4S0, which the found in his pocket
book. Last week, after stay in Mos
COW, which had almost etfaced the IN
cident from his recollection, NJ. de
croft was walking in the evening down
the Champs Elysees when he saw one of
his ASSISTANTS taking the air in front of
a cafe chantant. He instantly gripped
him by the throat, but not tightly
enough to prevent his escape, and an eX-
citing chase ensued across the benches
| of the cafe, whose occupants expressed
some asst nishment at the preci plate
movements of the stylish gentleman and
his partner. NJ. de Noroff, however, was
not to be foiled, and effected a clever
capture. The man, after some denial
before the Commissary, was proved to
be the thief, and disgorged the entire
sum of money, which he had consider
ately preserved intact during NJ. de
Noroff's absence in Russia. But the
story does not end here. Only yester-
day, as he was posting a letter, who
should NJ. de NOroff see but the second
thief waiting to put two large envelopes
into the box. He also was secured with
the assistance of a telegraph ERIK, and
identified by an elegant cameo ring on
his fOreingcr. Moreover the two en-
velopes were found to contain several
bundles of forged bank notes, so that
both thieves stand a good chance OF
conviction. There is a dramatic com
pIeteness in NJ. de Norolf's revenge.

A Remarkable Woman.

A woman with a remarkable career
has lately died in Cochin, China. She
was known as Madame Dr. Ribart, and
was a surgeon of considerable skill,
while her experience was one that nc
other woman ever had. Beginning as a
waitress in little drinking shop of the
Quarter Latin of Paris, she passed,
while still very young, through the
usual experiences of a Partisan grisette,
and became connected with a medical
student who frequented the shop. Il er
instinct was irresistible. No sooner did
she come in contact with his books and
instruments, than she fell upon them
and literally devoured the knowledge
they contained. She availed herself of
his teaching, too, and drew from him
everything he learned, so that by the
time she had reached the age of twenty
six she presented herself for examina-
ton as a surgeon, and passed the ordeal
brilliantly and triumphantly. She soon
recognized the field that lay open be-
fore her in the Egyptian harems, to
which male surgeons were not admitted,
and where women suffered unspeakable
tormepts for the lack of proper attend.
ance. At Cairo she speedily established
large practice, and had every prospect
of doing well, but her early formed
habits of dissipation had become rooted
and were unconquerable. She plunged
into inconceivable debaucheries. Her
career of vice brought her to an Egyp-
tian madhouse. After six months of
this severe but sanitary regimen she re-
covered her mind. She made her wav
out of the French colony in Cochin
China. Here her talents and her beauty
won her instant recognition. The old
queen mother of AMMAN had been blind
for years, and hailed with delight the
prospect of relief held out to her by the
French physician. Madame Ribart,
howeve-, died suddenly the day before
the operation was to be performed.
Probably no European woman ever
knew so much of the inner life of the
harem in the east and its dark side as
this ex-grisette.-EuropeGn MaI.
