APerrnanent Label for Trees.

NJ H. Beekwith, of the experiment
static at Geneva, n. Y, writes to
The RurGl Nel0 Yorker: Its necessary
that every fruit tree in the experiment
grounds here at the station should be
plainly labeled in order that q record
can be kept from the time it is set out.
The first label that was used consisted
of strip of zinc about three inches
long and half an inch wide. The name
and also the number of the tree were
written upon the zinc with an ordinary
lead pencil. and the label was secured
to the trunk of the tree by means of a
double-pointed carpet tack driven
through the hole so that the label hung
loosely on the tack. This label did
not prove satisfactory for two reasons:
First. its continual swing upon the

The Hate Einperor's Kind Heart.

ING woman in my compartment was
CRYING with such extraordinary bitter
ness that l spoke to her. She had just
lost the best friend in the world.
Sir" she added,''I am in the imperial
kitchen, where l have been for twenty
four years. | drove milk-cart when
was a girl, and once when | was
serving my customers passed through
a corner. of the royal park. The then
Prince Frederick was walking with
his young bride. The dog that drew
my cart was tired and would not go, SO
/ whipped him. The Prince came for
ward at once and patted the dog on the
head. Then he asked me how much I
would gain by selling my milk, and I
told him ten marks. [ did not know
who he was. He asked me not to beat
the dog, but to take it home and give
it good rest and a good meal, and l
would lose nothing. He seemed so
gentle and good that | obeyed him
without question, and the following
morning a soldier brought me a pres
ent of 1000 marks from the Prince, who
was afterward Emperor Frederick.
From that beginning [ got into service
in the palace. His heart was good and
kind as it was brave.

The English Language in Kentucky

'sSee those two girls coming down
the street talking together" said my
cynical friend, as we were promenade
inc Fourth street. ''Well, as we pass
them no doubt we can oyerhear a scrap
of their conversation, and I'll bet you
I can tell what they will say"
''What will they say?" [ asked.
you'll hear the words says he,'
says T. or says She he replied.
Sure enough when they got near
enough to oyerhear them one of The
girls was talking glibly, and the bur-
den of her remarks was ''says he'' this
and ''says T. that.
CHOW, [ have been a close observer
in this matter, and I have made this
general formula in regard to CONVEX
sation," continued the cynic. IF you
hear 100 bits of conversation between
two women there are sixty chances
that they are talking about says
he says T. or says she, with
probabilities largely in favor of says
he Then there are thirty-nine
chances that they are talking about
matters of dress, and only one chance
in hundred that they are talking
about somebody else"
''But how about menu I inquired.
We'll, | haven't got the percentage
down SO fine there; but it is safe TO say
that if you hear 100 sentences from 100
different men, such as you meet daily
on the street, you will hear at least
seventy-fve oaths. OF course I mean
if men are talking to men. If the men
are talking to ladies the percentage Of
profanity is reduced to q minimum. y

How Chinese History is Written.

Chinese history is compiled by
permanent commission OF accomplished
literary men, who are always: at work
upon it. In 1877 an imperial edict
stated that history ought not to be
written for the Emperor's use only and
remain shut up in golden baskets and
marble chambers; it ought to be made
accessible to all officials. that they may
know the mind of the Emperors and
the laws of the land. From the
Chinese standpoint history is divided
into two parts, one an exact narrative
of events, the other of what the En-
peror has said and done. This division
originates two sets of publications.
one in which the officers speak, and the
other in which the Emperor is spokes-
man. In the first the industry of the
Bureau of History is run in the collec-
ton of facts. but there is ALWAYS a
danger that the recorder NAV be under
strong court influence. Historical
candor can scarcely find place in
reference to nation or persons who
have been in conflict with the court.
With this exception the array of facts
thus recorded is most valuable The
edicts published in the second series
express the mind of the Emperor. He
is always man who has the advan-
tage of good training, and if his style
is tOlerable and he happens to be fond
of writing his ediets himself they will
all be transmitted to future times in
full The scribes, who stand writing
when he speaks. translate his spoken
words into official phrases, and his
opinIooc apd decisions will them ma sc
into official history. partly written by
himself by the scribes of the Cabinet.
