Propasatins Trees by Budding.

In propagating trees otherwise than
from seeds, as by budding or grating.
IT may be said that the limits Of the oper-
alton are not very clearly defined, but for
all practical purposes it is limited to the
members of the same genus or closely
allied plants; that is. oaks may be budded
on oaks, naples on naples, the cutleaved
birch on stalks Of the moro common
kinds. and generally the more nearly re-
lated tho species the moro successful the
operation.
Occasional exceptions occur where
woods Of two species belonging to the
same genus cannot be made to unite and
form a union. Tho operation is usually
performed in summer soon after the buds
arc fully developed on the young wood of
the present seasons growth. The stock
or branch in which the buds are to be in
serted must be In similar condition, al
though at the point Of junction it may be
more than one year old, but h no case
must the bark be thick and rigid, as the
bud is to be inserted under the bark Of
the stock. In general, the small slice Of
wood taken of from the shoot with the
bud under tbs eye is allowed to remain.

THE LIMIT OF LIFE.
AFTER ONE HUNDRED YEARS MAN
GROWS OLD RAPIDLY.

Chronological Records Not Altogether Re-
liable-Ihe Tale Told BY the Census Of
1sso-T.ble Of Comparative Longevity.
The Prolonsation Of Life.
There Is no doubt that after man has
turned 100 years he grows old rapidly.
fore he reached that limit Of age. The
human machine is well nigh worn out.
and the motive power nearly exhausted
Therefore we are not surprised to hear
that Col. Perkins, the Norwich gentleman
ian, died one month after. his Tooth birth
day, and that NJ. Chevreul. the French
centenarian. was too feeble to receive the
friends who came to honor and feGcitate
him recently on his 102d birthday. Like
Col. Perkins, the venerable French chem
list was in the full possession Of his facul-
ties at 100, but that stage Of his life's
journey passed, the race became difficult
for him, and his steps began to totter.
He has distanced Col. Perkins by two
years, but he seems to be near his limit.
There are recorded instances of men
and women who have endured far beyond
100 years, but none of them is well
authenticated. they having lived at
q time when no accurate chronological
records were kept. Thus tho countess of
Desmond died in the reign of James I,
some time after 1903, at what was alleged
to be tho age Of 145 years, but modern in
vestigators are skeptical Is to the fact.
Though there Is evidence enough to show
that she was centenarian. and was vi
vacious and in full possession Of her facul-
ties up to 100 years. it is probable that
she did not get much beyond that limit.
Thomas Parr, better known rs Old Parr,
died in 1886 at ON ago which was estima-
ted as 152, but his years were rather q
matter of tradition than of well substan-
tiated fact, though he, too, had doubtless
passed his Tooth birthday. and was in all
respects remarkable old fellow.
ABOUT ONE HUNDRED YEARS.
Somewhere about one hundred years
seems to be the present limit of the span
of the life of man, and the proportionate
number of instances where it has been
reached viii undoubtedly much increase
as medicine advances in the preservative
art. The census Of 1880 gave 4, 016 per.
sons as of 100 years and over. and not far
from the same number, or 1878, as from
So to SO. The chances, therefore, are that
when man has got well past 80 he will
round out the 100. It is before years
and after so years that life is in most
danger under present conditions and with
the medical art as it is. In 1880 there
were 1866 men and women in the
United States between 80 and 81 years,
but the number from IS to so was only
1885. Yet there were moro at 95 than
1T % or o.
Putting, then, the limit Of age for
man at 100 years, it thus compares with

Owen:

Some of the cold blooded animals and
birds. Of course, live much longer. Pike

tanned to live $50 years, eagles and crows
more than 100 years. But with intelh-
gence to guide him, and medical art, the
most progressive Of all the learned pro-

the age of 100 years will not be as ex-

but in warding off disease and preserving

Mr.. Morton's manifold charities, benevo.
lent disposition, and efforts on behalf Of
others are we'll known to his friends, though
the world at large has not heard much Of
them. In 1880 Congress, moved by the suf.
fering in Ireland, placed the ship Constella.
ton at the disposal of any n willing to
send relief to that afflicted land. Some
weeks afterwards Mr.. Morton learned tina,
no offer had been made to load the vessel.
Thereupon he addressed a letter to "The
Herald" in which he said: "You are au.
thorized to announce that agentleman known
to you, who declines to have his
name made public, offers to pay for one-
quarter of the cargo of the Constellation
if other parties will make up the balance
At The same time he had determined to
furnish the entire cargo if there was any
delay in securing other aid. The proprietor
of "The Herald" however, and w. R.
Grace contributed each o%ne-quarter, and
other gentleman furnished the remainder.
The people of this city will probably recall
the Rockaway Beach improvement troubles
in the summer of 1880, when 500 workmen
were unable to obtain their wages because
OF the financial ruin in which the gigantic
hotel enterprise had been involved. Certif-
icates of Indebtedness were issued to the
wofkmen, but they were useless to the men,
who needed food for their wives and children.
At this j%uncture Mr.. Morton Joined the
OF Drexel, Morgan & Co., and each contrib
uted $4,000 for the relief of the working
men. They paid the full amount of the GER
tidcates and declined to accept any discount.

ABOUT A COUNTY SEAT.
How They Do it in Kansas.

CHICAGO, July la special from Topeka,
Kansas, says: From information received
by the attorney general it appears that the
county seat fight which las been waged in
Hamilton county for two or three years
past, and which it was thought would be
settled at the election held Thursday, is in
q worse stage than ever before. The excite
ment is intense and is likely to result in
bloodshed. The election was held Thurs
day and the principal competitors for the
county seat were Syracuse and Coolidge.
The election was . very exciting one and
there was a great deal of ballot box stuff
ing and fraud. The latest trouble grows
out Of the fact that there are two sets Of
county commissioners each claiming to be
the lawfully elected board. The Syracuse
returns were returned to the SYRIA
cuse board of commissioners and Coolidge
and Kendall returns to the Kendall board.
board canvassed and declared
for Syracuse, and the other board declared
for Coolidge, though neither board had
complete returns. Two separate county
governments have been established and
here are now two sets of officers, each
claiming to be legally elected, and no one
Is allowed to enter either town until he has
proved satisfactorily that he has no interest
the other town.
