IN Chlcago, who Is now dead. but who

by his associates, married a southern

Two Examples in Subtraction.

My little boy gave me thought
starter this morning. He was busily
engaged ciphering out some problem
when he suddenly stopped, looked up
to me and remarked, in tone of great
surprise, q" Why, papa, 800 taken from
/ 200 doesn't leave any more than one
from two!" 1t was an important dis
covery to him, and in the way it struck
me just then it was an important dis
covery to me. | remembered two men
l had conversed with the day before.
One is a slave to his business. He
works day and night. He allows his
business to grind increasingly at both
body and soul--for what? For money
for an eXtravagant family to spend in
fashionable folly. For the many years
of hard toll all that he has to show is a
shelter for his head, home-nothing
more. He subtracted 900 from 1000
and it left him one. The other man is
worker, but he works temperately-
master of his business; he does not
allow his business to master him. He
is not always at fever heat, eager to
make great gains. He is conservative,
cool, calm. He associates freely with
his family, rides out with them, giving
them the benefits of pure air, recrea-
ton and healthful enjoyment. His
family enjoy all the rational comforts
of life, but they do not create artificial
wants. They all work temporarily
and live temporarily. They do not re-
ceive large income, but their expense
account is always kept below it. AS
result they have comfortable, I'M
pretentious but happy, home. They
subtracted one from two and it left
one-quite as much of a result as was
shown by subtracting 800 from 1000

How to Pour Tea.

There is more TO be learned about
pouring tea and coffee than most people
are willing to believe. If those decoc-
tons are made at the table, which is by
far the best way, they require experience,
judgment and exactness. If they are
brought on the table ready-made, it still
requires judgment so to apportion them
that they shall prove sufficient in guam
tity for the family and that the elder
members shall have the stronger cups.
Often persons pour out tea who, not
being at all aware that the first cup is
the weakest and that the tea grows
stronger as you proceed, bestow the
poorest cup upon the greatest stranger,
and give the strongest to very young
member of the family, who would be
better without any. When several cups
of equal strength are wanted you should
pour a little into each, and then 90
back, inverting the order as you fill
them so, and the strength will be APP
portioned properly. This is so well
understood in England that an expert
enced pourer of tea waits till all the
cups of the company are returned to
her before she fills any the second
time that all may share alike.-Good
Housekeeping.

Agritultural.
New Life in the Old Orchard.

Mr.. S. 7. Floyd of Winthrop Center,
Maine, came into possession, ten years
ago, of sadly-neglected orchard of
RoXburv Russet trees which were APP
parently about dead of starvation. De-
clining to accept the neighborly advice
to root out and start anew, he adopted
a course which he thus describes: " All
the old limbs that were dead or nearly
so were cut off, saving only the young
est and healthiest, This gave air and
sunlight access to the inside of the
trees and the ground. A good dressing
of barn manure was then applied and a
pillow put in, with a good strong team at
tached, which was required, as there
was a complete network of roots COM
ing to the top of the ground. These we
let the pillow cut off unfortunately
wherever the team was strong enough
to do it. This root-pruning was sub
sequently watched with much interest,
and it was found that wherever root
was cut off the part next the tree put
out numerous little rootlets or feeders.
The ground was kept under cultivation
three years, with good supply of stable
manure each year, and then put down to
grass. Now for the result. The first
year got nothing and, indeed, expected
nothing, as it takes one season for bear
ing buds to form. The second year
the old trees began to show new life;
they averaged two barrels of good No. l
Russets to tree, which more than paid
for all the labor and expense, and in
stead of dying then, as some prophe-
sled, they have continued to bear every
year since. New wood is formed
around the trunks and new limbs are
growing from shoots that have started
under the new treatment, and although
the orchard is said to be one hundred
years old, it bids fair to outlast this
generation at least 1t is feed that
saved the trees and this bearing con-
dition is kept up by feed. Something
is applied every year to each tree, and
it is all paid for each autumn, with
interest, in the good, rich fruit we re-
ceive. "-Mirror and Farmer.
