Regarding Apple Trees.

AS general rule it doesn't pay to re-
graft old trees of undesirable kinds, but
where one has a few thrifty young trees
that have come into bearing and show q
tendency for large production of fruit of
poor quality, such may be grated
throughout their tops as extensively as
you please with good deal of propriety,
especially if they stand in locations where
they will be missed if cut down as worth
less. To change large tree entirely will
require at least three years, as to cut off
the entire top at once may kill it. The
scions should be set in limbs of about one
or two inches in diameter, and not near
the ends of the limbs, but near the butts
OF small limbs as they project out from the
larger ones. The shoots, that will now
more than ever be thrown out from the
old wood, should be kept pruned out as
they appear.

On one of the women's streets Of this
town, where the petticoats are so thick
that a man is almost as much out of place
as he would be at ladies luncheon, there
is woman's barber shop. 1t has not
striped pole in front Of it. 1t is too
aesthetic for that, and the women find it in
fiocks without such vulgar aids. 1t Is
woman's place in the fullest sense Of the
word, run by women and for women. 1t
is the outcome of the usual long felt want.
OF course, there were always places
where women could get their hair dressed,
but when the universal bang demanded
constant attention these great artists were
apt to act as if such ministrations were
beneath their attention. Then they
charged enormously. The places where
they trim bangs cheap were obviously
masculine; even if they set apart place
for women there were glimpses cOntinu-
ally of dreadful, collarless, lathered male
beings, and to the inexperienced feminine
mind nothing seems so indecent as nan
being shaved.
Still another question of decency came
in. The fine ladies whoihave had their hair
dressed ever since they were IL years old,
and who patrOnize men dressmakers and
milliners, Of course, have no sort of OBJ
lection to men BARRIERS, but lots Of young
women in less exalted sphere find it
quite dreadful to have a man fussing half
an hour over their heads. "You know"
said one not over lucidly, with the
dentist you don't mind because he hurts
you so dreadfully all the time, but with a
barber it is different. New York

A Cook with a Centrifugal Motion.

A well known Paris scientist, DR.. De-
launay, has made some curious discover
les which show the connection between
little and great things. To ascertain the
qualities of an applicant cook he says it is
sufficient to give her plate to clean,
sauce to make and watch how she moves
her hand in either act. If she moves it
from left to right, or in tle direction of
the hands of watch, you may trust her;
if the other way, she is certain to be stu
pid and incapable. The intelligence of
people may also be gagged, the doctor
further says, by asking them to make a
circle on paper with pencil and noting
in which direction the hand is moved.
The good students in a mathematical
class draw circles from left to right. The
inferiority of the softer sex, as well as the
male ounces, is shown by their drawing
from right to left. Asylum patients do
the same In word, says the doctor,
centrifugal movements are characteristic
of intelligence and higher development;
centripetal are mark of incomplete evo-
luton. A person, as his faculties are de-
veloped, may even come to draw circles
in different way from what he did in his
youth. Journal.

An Astonished Englishman.

A newly arrived Englishman was told
that the editor of The North American
Review would, that night, deliver a
learned lecture, and that if he desired to
become informed upon live issues in
America he should attend. He did so,
and the next day he wrote as follows to a
London newspaper:
"The Americans are surely very Pc
culiar people. Last night 1 went to hear
a well known gentleman lecture on what
these people term live issues, and must
say that | never heard more ridiculous
discourse. The people laughed in his very
face, but he did not appear to mind it,
He talked about absurd things, and spoke
of showing his fist into the bosom of the
night, and went on at some length to tell
of dog that had fieas. l did not want
to be rude, but l really laughed. I actu-
ally expected to see the people mob the
fellow, he was so very, very queer"
He had been "steered" against Bill
Nye.-Arkansaw Traveller.

Concerning Composite Photographs.

DIR. Bowditch, in a recent lecture on
Composite Photography" exhibited
composite of sixteen naturalists, which
was said to so nearly resemble Agassiz as
to suggest that he was an approximation
of the typical naturalist. The composite
of the Harvard class of 1887 is character
lied as dark, dignitied and brilliant; that
of the composite Bowdoin student as
sturdy, rugged and sensible. Composites
of college young men and college maidens
looked enough alike to seem those of
brother and sister. No reference is made
in the report of the lecture to the COM
posite of the sweet girl graduate Of
the Michigan university; but any one
who knows the quality of the beauty of
our fair students will not hesitate to say
that the composite is superior to the pro-
ductiOn of the east. The young man in
search of the ideal young woman must
come west.-Detroit Free Press.

Enthusiasm Over Scotch Songs.

We met with several instances of how
enthusiastic Scottish feeling exists in the
midst of colonial life, which, with its
prosaic features and struggle after ma
terial wealth, is not always the best con-
server of national sentiment. The feeling
is apt to become eccentric, as was the case
of the Scotsman of King Williams Town
who had portrait of Mary, Queen of
Scots, hung in his bedroom, and who
every morning on rising stretched his
hands toward it, crying, "Oh! my muir
dered queenw Once we overheard an
enthusiast saying, "My Ain Fireside,"
eye Banks an Braes, " "The Land O. the
Leal, -eh, body could be fit to gang to
heaven hearing thae sangs sung" And
was ever love of country more strongly
expressed than in the case of the Fort
Beaufort Scotsman, who exclaimed
''Gude save us! I'd rather gang hame
an be hanged than dee here a natural
deathr'-New York Times.

"Lady" and "Woman."

Shortly after the war closed the negroes
began to call each other ''lady" and 'gen-
tleman," but in speaking of the whites,
they generally called them that imam"
and that woman" An instance &C.
CURED a few years ago in which Gen. w.
T. Sherman played part. The general
was sitting in front of his house one pleas
ant evening with some friends, smoking
and talking when fellow as black as
the ace of spades sidled up, and, address
ing the general, said: 'Is de lady here
named Johnson" No." said the gen.
eral. "Well," said the darky, 81 think
there must be lady of that name living
here, because she is my wife, and she is
working for woman named Sherman"

Curious Kind of Disease.

ELegrand writes on "Narcolepsy" in the

This consists in sudden attacks of deep
sleep, lasting some minutes; not days like
a trance, or seconds like petit NAL. More
over, the condition is one apparently of
simple sleep, from which the patient may
easily be aroused. Brain congestion, re-
sulting from deficient heart action, gastric
troubles or arrangements of the liver, and
such diseases as govt, diabetes and rheum-
atism are some of its associations. -Chi-

Primitive Printing in Far Cathay.


A correspondent of The North China
Daily News, of Shanghai, describes a
printing establishment which he found in
village in the interior, about $50 miles
from Shanghai. The printing was being
temporarily carried on in the village
temple, and movable type only was used.
In the large central hall of the temple
were placed about twenty ordinary square
tables, on which the cases of type were
spread out. At the time of the visit one
man was engaged in setting up type, an
other was printing. The former stood
before a table, on which was what may
be called the Chinese cease" 1t was a
solid block of hard wood, about twenty
two inches long by fifteen inches broad,
and perhaps three inches deep. The in
side was followed out to depth of about
a quarter of an inch, this depression being
still further followed out into grooves
about three-quarters of an inch deep. The
block had Twenty-Five of these grooves,
each filled to the depth of a quarter of an
inch with ordinary stiff clay.
With his copy before him, armed with
a small pair of iron pincers, the compost
tor began his work; character after char
acter was transferred from the case and
firmly pressed into the clay. When the
form" was complete a fiat board was
placed on the top and the characters
pressed perfectly even and level with the
surface of the wooden block, the edge of
which was cut to form the border gener-
ally found round every Chinese page.
The printer now received the form land
carefully brushed his ink over his type.
Taking sheet of paper, he pressed it
down all over the form SO that it might
be brought into contact with every char
acter. He then removed the sheet and
examined each character carefully adjust
ing those which were not quite straight
with the pincers, and apparently never
touching the type with his fingers. After
sufficient copies had been struck off the
type was distributed, each character being
returned to its particular box. The wri-
ter was told that the art of printing in
this way had been handed down in the
same family since the Sung dynasty, more
than 600 years ago. No strangers were
ever taught, apprentices being always
taken from the same clan.-Pall Mall
