appointed to look for the right man as

into the fitness of certain minister who
had been recommended to him for the

Plants ofthe Trade" Paper.

Some of the most profitable newspaper
property in this country is found in the
plants of the ''trade'' paper. y glance
within a newspaper directory will con-
vince any one of the completeness with
which this field is covered. There is
scarcely trade or industry or enter
prise that has not its representative
iOurnal-either daily, weekly, fort
nightly or monthly. Some of these
aim TO cover all the news points in the
trade they represent, and give, besides
general information on the subject, edi-
torial and other comment relation to
thelr particular trade. Others, through
neglect, inability or laZineSs, have let
their advertisements grow up till they
have chOked out the news features.
This Is especially true of the older and
richer ones.
The advertising space invariably in
creaseS at the expense of the news COL
umnS. The advertising rates are very
high, as the price charged for subscrip-
tions Is but a nominal one. In fact,
many of the magazines distribute a
SOOdly part of their circulation gratui-
tCusly-and they can well afford to.
The Journals of the brewers, iron men,
furniture manufacturers, and the rail-
way papers are by far the richest of the
hebdomadal newspapers il this city.
Most of these were started since the
great fire, and have waxed great upon
the manufactures whom they represent.

of short and sharp at midnight. Pri-
vate dinner parties at hotels have come

on the clock say that 1t is after II

FARM NOTES.

PRUNING is one OF the most impOr-
tant operations connected with the
management of trees shrubs and vines.
We prune one part OF a tree 10 reduce
its vigor and to favor the growth OF an
other and weaker plant. We prune a
branch, or a shoot, to produce ramiGca-
tions OF these parts, and thus change or
modify the forms OF the whole We
prune to induce fIuitfIIlness and TO di-
minish 1t. We prune In the growing
as well as in the dormant season, and
finally We pruue both the roots and
branches Thus we see that pruning Is
applied to all parts OF tree at all sea-
sons, and TO produce the most opposite
results How important, therefore, to
know how to prune, what to prune and
when to prune-
a horticulturist IN Country Gentle
man calls attention to a fact often
ignored, viz, thst pinching back
growing shoot or pruning a growing
branch weakens the same. This fact
must be borne IN mind when one is
endeavOring to make tree shapely or
Sc. u uniform growth OF vine.
In the Old World use IS made of this
principle in training fruit and other
trees into various forms. Some fruit
trees are trained SO as to make perfect
trellises, fiat as a pale fence; these are
called espalier. Others are erect, round
and shoot up like LOmbardy poplars.
CO!umnar trees.
To make this tree, explains the hOTti-
culturist quoted from, the grower has
10 pinch back all the strong growing
shoots toward the upper portion of the
tree, as the season progresses, and any
shoot that seems stronger than the rest,
anywhere. In the fall and winter,
when the finishing time for pruning
arrives, the upper part or the tree is
still severely pruned-
Attention has been called TO this
form of tree simply TO illustrate the
general principle that pruning or pinch
ing back a strong shoot weakens il, and
that the weaker ones profit by what TO
the strong ones has been denied. In
conclusion adds this hoTticultist. IL
the shoots on "A growing vine are all
weakIsh at the bottom, and a few
strong ones are pushing at the top We
should pinch these strong ones back
and take out the growing point soon
after IT starts, or as soon as II occurs to
US that the lower branches need
IL il be an evergreen
that we would thicken at the bottom,
pinch out the growing points of the
stronger branches, but let alone the
weaker ones II II be pear tree that
We would train to any special form,
keep back the stronger branches and
let the weaker ones grow. Only in tins
way can We get branches where we
need them.

Among the most recent discoveries of
scientific research is that OF the pre-
sence of parasites In fish. OF these
tiny eei-like creatures ten kinds are re-
cognized In the fish of the MedIter-
ranean Sea, the Atlantic and Indian
Oceans They are generally found In
some hollow part or the fsh's BODY.
the cavities of the star-fish's body, the
cavities of tie star-fsh's respiratory
organs beingl very favorIte abode.
Sometimes, however, they attach them
selves to part of the fish where life Is
not SO easy matter for them; for it
stance, they have been found in pearl
oyster, buried IN curl of the shell.
These parasites do not endanger the
life OF the fish Oh which they live. as
they feed on the microscopic organisms
which are washed into the cavities of
the hsh by the sea-water-eating their
messmates, as Van Beneden says.

Famous Women,

1t IS significant fact that most of the
women who have achieved fame in art
literature, or AFFAIRS" have enjoyed Wig
orous health. This shows that the mind
is never capable of the severe and contin-
ued application necessary TO creative work,
unless the body is at its best. The woman
who aspires 10 fill an exalted place among
her associates, must be free from nervous
debility and female weaknesses. DIR. Pierce's
tavorite Prescription will Danish these and
II Is warranted 10 restore those functional
harmonies which are Indispensable TO health
As a specific for all those chronic weak
nesses and ailments peculiar to women, it
