too many to do that, get up the Gre as

sprinkle the leaves and shade the
flowers from the sun. We have never
found either remedy of any avail with
frozen plants, and the spTinkling is
often a serious injury il done before
the temperature is above the freezing
point. In II experience with thou
sands OF frozen plants, we have tried
all manne Of ~expedients, and found
no better method than TO get them out
of the freezing atmosphere as quickly
as possible; and we have also found
that the damage is IN proportion to the
auCCulent condition of the plant N
the intensity of the freezing. Just

the bells Of the church ring the San

girls of the family was taught to recite
the appropriate prayer at the sound of
the bells. The parrot watched her
carefully, and the osher evening, at the
first sound Of the chimes, dropped to
the bottom Of the cage, put down his
head and said the first few words Of
the prayer. He has kept this up ever
since ana is adding other words of the
PRAYER as the little girl teaches them to
him.

which an apple tree is trained has
much to do with its early or late com
ing into bearing. The trees which
grow very erect, as the Northern Spy,
are very slow III becoming productive.
This upright growth may be corrected
by cutting out the centre while young
and bending the outer branches slightly,
AS soon as a branch begins to bear it
is naturally bent down by weight OF
fruit, and this continues the produc.
tive habit. In the dependent branche,
the flow OF sap is somewhat checked,

streets and sidewalks without running

The scheme might be modified some-
what and applied to this city, which is
perpetually in trouble from bad roads
and the treasury is in state of chronic
depletion. In Harrisburg it is provided
by ordinance that when petition is
presented for grading, macadamzing
or paving, signed By majority of the
owners of property fronting or abutting
along any of the streets of the city, it
shall be stated in such petition, if for
paving and curling, the kinds desired,
and the Council shall direct the CITY

plan or map, with specifications in
accordance Herewith, of said street
and an estimate of the cost and attend

age, and in no other mode, except in
that of grading, which shall be left to
said board to determine the manner as
they shall deem proper; and if the
owner or owners of said property shall
pay or cause to be paid into the city
treasury the amount of the assessment
within the period of ninety days from
the time of notice to be given by the
city treasurer, then the said owner in
possession shall be credited, in a book
kept by the treasurer, with the amount
of money paid within the prescribed
time, and every year thereafter shall be
entitled to and receive discount upon
the city tax of one seventh of the tax
rate, upon said property. and the whole
amount of assessment paid; provided
further, that no interest in any case
shall be allowed for the assessment
paid. In case an assessment shall not
have been paid within ninety days from
the time of notice given, 1t shall be the
duty of the city solicitor to enter lien
against the property, bearing interest
from date; but when the lien is paid
and satisfied the owner in possession
shall receive the full benefit of the dis
counts, commencing when said lien
shall be paid in full.
We don't know that the Salt Lake
City Council has the authority which is
held by that of Harrisburg, but il it
has it seems to US that it might do well
to adopt system of paying for street
improvements similar to that which
prevails in the Pennsylvania city. A
good many property owners would
gladly vote for improving the streets
and walks in front of their lots, if the
money for the cost did not have to
be paid down, but could remain low
interest lin.
In this connection there comes an
other suggestion. Property owners have
had nothing to do with local street i'm
provements, all such being paid for out
of the general fund. There must come
a time when this system will cease, and
the time to stop it is before costly i'm
provements have been made on any
street. When we begin to m acadamize
or pave the streets, let us also begin to
make the property AUDITING on the
street pay for the improvement.

A RESURRECTION.

Last week one Rutherford B. Hayes,
of Fremont, Ohio, had long private
interview with the President-elect, and
since then the newspapers and the
politicians have been giving expression
to their surmises. These are various,
and include opinions that the aforesaid
Hayes is to represent the United States
at the court of st. James, that he will
go to Germany as American Minister
that he will enter the Cabinet to be
formed next March, and that he will
be the new Presidents confidential
adviser as to how the Federal patron
age should be distributed in the Buck
eve State. These are only surmises, and
they may mean something or nothing.
They ale interesting only in one re-
spect, and that is in so far as they indi-
cate the possible resurrection, politi-
calIy, of the defunct Hayes. Never
before was there public man who
went more completely out of sight and
esteem while still above ground. He
held the Presidency by defective title
conferred on him by fraud and force on
the part of the Republicans and fear
and cowardice on the part of the Demo
Gratis. In Office he was weak and per-
sonally insignificant, though his fairly
able Cabinet managed to impart to the
l.. .,%- ir (.f rccnnntohiIItu
His term expiring he sneaked off into
retirement, as if ashamed to mingle
among his fellows, and until this year
has been seen and heard only at county
fairs where he delivered eulogies on
prize pumpkins and fat fowls; and at
school commandments. He permitted
himself to be snuffed out as it were, and
politicians and press were pleased st
the effacement. II the stories now
being told are true there was
method in his department. He went
into retirement until the great
crime committed in his behalf
should be forgotten or CLOSED over
with age, all the time having in his
mind temperance in the political
scene. Evidently he thinks he can
venture out in safety, and by degrees
during the year he has crowded himself |
forward until now he comes into view
as something more than hen fancier
and Judge of farm products. 1t is
to note his career for the
past twelve years up to the present,
and it will be interesting to watch him
rom now on.
