Don't Learn to Carve.

Never learn to carve, young man.
There is no fun in it. A knowledge of
the art saddles you with a responsible
ity, which, while it may procure you
invitations to dinner, sits heavily on
the soul and brings wrinkles into the
forehead. If you do not perform the
work artistically, you are criticised. If
a tough fowl gets away from you and
takes refuge in lady's lap, you are
laughed at and make an enemy of the
fair one whose dress you soil or spoil.
You offend Jones if you send the choic-
est out to Smith, and vice uersa. You
must send the best away and reserve
only the least to be desired for yourself.
The walters make you the subject of
their remarks, and by putting their
heads together and jerking their thumbs
over their shoulders in your direction
embarrass you dreadfully; you know
by the fiendish leer on their faces tina
they have set you down as blacksmith.
If the room is warm you are thrown in
to violent perspiration; your collar
willis, necktie gets awry, your appetite
leaves you, and when your labors are
finished you begin your dinner with the
air of one who has been in pugilistic
mill and come out second best. Don't
learn to carve.-Nebraska State Journal.

Railroading in the Air.

In some mountain locations galleries
have been cut directly into the rock,
the cliff overhanging the roadway and
the line being carried in horizontal
cut or niche in the solid wall. The
Oroya and the Chimbote railways in
South America demanded constant
locations of this character At many
points it was necessary to suspend the
persons making the preliminary meas
urements from the cliff above. The
engineer who made these locations
tells the writer that On the Oroya line
the galleries were often from 100 to
400 feet above the base of the cliff and
were reached generally from above.
Rope ladders were used to great ad.
vantage. One 64 feet long and one LOG
feet long covered the usual practice,
and were sometimes spliced together.
These ladders could be rolled
up and carried about on donkeys or
mules. When swung over the side OF
a cliff and secured at the top, and when
practicable at the bottom, they formed
q very useful instrument in location
and construction. Scribner's Maya.

PLANTING TREES,
The Method Practiced by the Professional
Horticultural.


Horticultural.
In planting, the greatest care is exer-
cised; when the soil is not naturally
good, holes are dug two feet deep and
nine feet in diameter, and filed in with
good rich loan. The trees are lifted
from the nursery with the greatest care,
to preserve as far as possible the roots,
and in transit to prevent them from dy-
ing or freezing. In planting, the soil
is packed closely around the roots, and
one copious watering is given. A tree
protector is at once placed around them,
for the purpose of preventing them
from being shaken by the winds Or
gnawed by horses, and perhaps what is
most important of all, to shade the
stems of the trees until their own foliage
is sufficient to do so. For this last rea-
son, the best and cheapest tree pro-
tector yet used is one made of wooden
strips placed three inches apart, and
bound with iron hoops; this gives the
necessary shade to the stem, and at the
same time allows free circulation of
air. The best height for the tree-box
is six feet. This shading referred to is
all-important; when trees are growing
in forests or in the nursery, they shade
one another, and it must be evident,
if set out without any protection from
the blazing sun in the streets of
city, they must suffer. Many thousands
of deciduous trees, both fruit and orna-
mental, perish annually the first year OF
planting through this cause. When
taken from the closely planted nursery
rows and exposed to the full sun and
air, the change is too great, and unless
the season is especially favorable, how
ever, carefully the planting may have
been done, large losses mist ensue un-
less the stems are shaded. Trees in
orchards and other enclosures can be
shaded by wrapping the stems up to the
lower branches with straw or any thing
that will shade the trunk from the sun;
but for trees in streets and elsewhere,
exposed to injury, the Slated box is the
best method of shading. The grand
success in planting the avenues in
is no doubt due largely to
the persistent use of this precaution, for
it is never omitted, and the results at
test its value. All trees for two years
after planting are cultivated, just as if
they were a crop of corn or potatoes, by
the soil being stirred by.a pronged hoe
for four or five feet from the stem in all
directions.-Petey Henderson, In Has-
per's Magazine.

Use for Pretty Cards.

Apoetty way OF using the Christ.
mas, faster, birthday or any of the
pretty cards so much in vogue, is to
'eash b the card on piece OF pasteboard
'saaamnlple of sizes larger than the card.
TaKe piece of satin or velvet of some
pre- tty shade to contrast well with the
colors used in the card, and cut an oval
in it to just fit over the face of the
card. Finish the edge of the oval with
a plating of ribbon, and draw the satin
smoothly over the pasteboard and
fasten at the back with long stitches.
Cut piece of cambria little smaller
than outside. and paste to the back.
Fasten to the back loop Of ribbon to
hang it up by, or it can be set on an
easel. -Boston Budget.

Near Egypt, in Chatham County.
N. c., while James Gilmour was OPP
Grating his cotton gin, it suddenly
stopped. He was puzzled to account
for this sudden stoppage. On careful
examination he found negro, one Of
the employees, lying under the overshot
wheel, his head wedged between the
wheel and rock in the bed of the
stream. The negro, while riding on
the shaft of the wheel, had been thrown
from his balance, his head striking UNI
der the wheel. Gilmour pulled him
out in an unconscious state and went
for doctor. On returning, to his great
surprise, he found the negro walking
about. The adamantine skull OF the
negro saved his life.

The time of thinking has been esti.
mated, with some interesting results: 1t
takes about one-tenth second to see a
color, one-seventh second to see word.
1t takes longer to see some letters and
words than others. A word can be-
named in one-ninth second, whereas
one-third second is needed to name q
color. It takes about two-ffths second
to call to mind the county in which a
well-known town is situated; one-half
second to say which OF two eminent
men is thought to be the greater. Those
used to reckoning can add two to three
in less time than others; those familiar
with literature can remember moro
quickly than others that Shakespeare

Dodging the Bullets.

The physical effect produced upon
different men in the presence of danger
forms an interesting study, but in many
cases the outward signs as indicated by
the actions of the Individual in no wise
measure the degree of courage or his
fear. The practice, for instance, of
lodging shots, ''jack-knifing'' under
fire, proceeds from nervousness which
is often purely physical, and has but
little more significance as a test of cour-
age than winking when something is
thrown in ones face. The act is en-
tirely involuntary. A general officer
who was killed at the second battle of
Bull Run was one of the most gallant
soldiers that ever drew a blade. Every
body had predicted his early death from
the constant and unnecessary exposure
to which he subjected himself. When
under fire the agile lodging he per-
formed was whole gymnastic exercise
in itself. His head would bob from side
to side and occasionally bob down to his
horses neck with all the vigor of sig
nal flag in waving message. These
actions were entirely beyond his control
and were no Indication whatever of fear.
Dodging to some extent under a heavy
infantry fire is very common. can re-
call only two persons who throughout
rattling musketry fire always sat in
their saddles without moving a muscle
or even winking an eye. One was a
buglar in the regular cavalry and the
other was General Grant. Century.

"A good housekeeper should never
be troubled with moths in carpet, for
Il it is swept thoroughly, especially the
sdges and corners, moths will not
make it their abiding place. Newspa-
Fers laid under carpet are said to be
an effective aid in driving away these
troublesome pests, but hard sweepings
are more reliable. If a room is to be
shut up for any length of time, some
thing should be sprinkled over the
floor.
1t is said that among all the arti-
o!es of nourishment called for in the
treatment of acute febrile diseases, wa

The febrile patient desires water, and
needs it, and it does no harm when not
taken in too large quantities at a time.
There is no objection to its being drank
