A Canadian Settlement

The colonial method OF dividing the
lots Of land into long narrow ribbons Is
still followed throughout the province.
The houses all stand along the roads rs
beads on a string, with the church fCr a
crucihx and uniting point. The settle
ment once formed, the next step Is t.
make 1t into parish and cndow il with a
church, the life and soul Of this system Of
civilization. The church Is well named
the peoples palace, for quite indepcuG-
emily OF the deep religious comfort I
brings 10 them, it gives these peasants
their only sight Of material beauty uni
art, their only taste Of intellectual hfr.
The settlers soon wish to replac" the RUDE
log chapel with something more imPoaitg
and ornate, and possess the permanent
satisfaction Of n resident priest C, H.
Farnham in Harper's Magazine.

Rcgrafting Apple Trees.

As general rule 1t 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
tendency for large production of fruit of
poor quality, such may be grated
throughout their tops as extensively a.
You please with good deal of propriety,
especially IL they stand in locations where
they will be missed II cut down as worth
less. To change large tree entirely will
require at least three years, rs to cut Off
the entire top at once may kill it. Tho
scions should he set in limbs of about ono
or two inchcs in diameter, and not near
the en,.J - the limbs, but near the butts
OF fsmall limbs rs they project ont from the
larger ones. The shoots, that will now
more than ever be thrown out from the
old wood, should be kept pruned out rs
they appear.

TO suggest that he was an approximation
of the typical naturalist. The composite
Of the Harvard class OF 1887 is character

Gen. Israel Putnam, tho "wolf killer"
But the strangcst fact in all its history
was that Marietta became officially sea
port. The place was made port of clear
Rnce, and in less than eight years no less
than twenty barks and brigs were con
structed there and "sailed" down the
Ohio and Mississippi, loaded with tho
produce of the country. The first full
rugged vessel built at Marietta was named
the st. Clair, and with Commodore Abra-
ham Whipple I'm command, went out by
New Orleans TO Havana, and thence on
ocean travel. Her commander was the
leader OF the Rhode Islanders who burned
the British schooner Gaspee In Narragan-
sett bay. Such were the men who founded
Marietta.
And yet they had n hard fight to keep
slavery out OF Ohio. When the constitu-
tional convention met Mt Chilicothe in
1902, u clause was reported allowing slav-
cry for n limited time, and on the first
test It had In the convention n majority
Of one. There is some unpleasant evil
dencc tn the effect that Thomas jefferson
and William Henry Harrison favored this
partial repeal Of the anti-slavery clause In
the ordinance. Judge Ephraim Cutler, OF
Marietta, by an earnest speech, secured
the one vote needed TO defeat the measure
In 1885 Marietta college was established,
and Is now one OF the most prominent col
leges of the west, with some 200 students
and library Of over 1000 volumes. The

In Rutland, Mass, so full Of enthusiasm
about the Ohio valley that the two talked
all night and agreed to form n colony. On
the goth of January, 11B0, they published
In the Boston papers highly favorable
description of the Ohio Muskingum valley,
and proposed n meeting of delegates TO
organize for n settlement. Tho meeting
was held at the Grapes tavern, in Boston.

upon. There were to be 1000 shares Of
$1,000 each, and the land was TO he
bought II congress would not give it.
One year later, March, 1887, the Ohio
company completed its organization at
Bracketts tavern, Boston. Many were
anxious to go, but only $50 shares had
been subscribed; so they sent Rev.
Manasseh Cutler to Washington as their
agent. He travelled nil the way in his
gig, preaching at various points, and
reached New York, where congress then
sat, July B. In their first form his re-
quests seemed rather extreme. He
frankly stated that the land would be
useless to the New England people unless
they could take their laws and institu-
tions with them. Down to this time tho
proposition to exclude slavery from the
northwest had met with little favor; II
was struck out of Thomas Jefferson's
ordinance of 1884, and was left out OF the
first one introduced In 1887. Then DIR.
Cutler did u wonderful work. He was n
graduate of Yale college, and had taken
degrees in three professions--law, medi-
cine and divinity. lc was 45 years old,

the famed and much discussed ordinance
