A Good Story Told at the Expense Of I
British Secretary Of State.

A gray-haired ruler. who spent hi,
life in colonies. was fond of telling
a story to illustrate the demi.S0rior Of
Downing street. A certain Secretary
OF Siale-so the story runs-gave au.
dience to an eminent colonist from
Australasia, and the conversation fell
upon a retired Governor. who. when
his period of service had termin a,ed,
bought a charming island in the Pacii,
and made his home there. He had
lost favor at the Colonial Office, and
marvellous stories concerning him
were current in that locality. Il nm
told.' said the noble Secretary, 'that
Governor So-and-so lives the life of a
hermit IN all respects but one. Can
it be possible that he has shut himself
up On nm island with no other com.
panions than n harem of Wallabicsp"
well. yes" said the colonist, .rhat's
about it. The island and the Wallabies
are a true bill; but he has books and
music, and ozone to boot" PRAY,
sir said the secretary, in n tone OF
horror, ''how many Wallabies may
there be therc?' How mapyp'

PRUNING FRUIT TREES,
How to Protect Wounds from the Damag.
ing Effects of the Weather.

Oar orchards. as II whole, perhaps,
do not suffer as much from a lack OF
pruning as they do from too much
pruning. People have come TO think
that an apple tree or other fruit tree
must be butchered about so much,
whether there is any need of it or not.
We are convinced that if one of two
rules must be laid down, viz: do not
prune at all, or prune whenever your
knife is sharp, that the former would
be much the best rule. Whenever it
is the right time for pruning fruit
trees, or whether the right time is not
whenever your knife is sharp. one
thing is certain, and that is. if from
previous neglect or other cause a limb
has been allowed to grow until it
becomes so large as to inter.
fere with the proper shape or well-b be-
ing of the tree. and demands removal,
it is very important that the wound
occasioned thereby be protected from
the damaging effects of the weather
by the application of some material
which will elfcctually answer the pur-
pose until new wood has time to form
over il. G~um-shellac dissolved in al
coh"l is highly recommends ed and
mostly used for tho purpose. But a
much more durable material has been
discovered BY French chemist, and
that is to melt u pound of common
resin oven q slow fire. adding TO it in
the meantime an ounce OF beef tallow,
and stirring the same well together;
take from the fire. and after allowing

avoid this, remove the vessel and its

Mark Twain and Darwin,

Mark Twain enjoys a good story

MI. Clemens, "told me that he once

took him through his work-room, and
showed him whatever there was Of

reading-lamp and three books on it,,
he said: 1 don't want any one tic

Twain's books. and they are the only
books l read; l read myself to sleep
with them at night. and l read my

was n good deal in common between
Darwin and himself; they had both
