The Trout a CreeI Will Hold.

"What perverse creatures you trout are, p
exclaimed an Angler who had exhausted his
patience and stock of flies in vain attempts
to induce some of the trout to rise. "You
do not know your own mind for half an hour
at time, and it is impossible to tell what
you do want. No dependence can be placed
on you"
mot more perverse than you are" unused
a Trout who had overheard the remarks
made by the Angler. ''For the purpose of
weighing some objects you allow sixteen
ounces to the pound; when you weigh gold
you call twelve. ounces a pound, and when
you weigh US your scale is very elastic. |
have known trout to weigh pound which,
according to troy or avoirdupois scales,
would not weigh more than six ounces. In
fact there does not seem to be any fixed
weight to our species. l have known the
elasticity of your scales to be SO great that a
five pound creel held twenty-five pounds Of

effect cures that I could not with my
methods, so I went to their college and
graduated. Now, if you will show me
a still better method, I will adopt it in
my practice and advocate its use"

Grape Growers Maxims.

l. Prepare the ground in fall; plant in
spring. 2. Give the vine plenty of ma
nure, old and well decomposed, for fresh
manure excites the growth but does not
mature it. 3. Luxuriant growth does not
insure fruit. 4. Dig deep and plant shall
low. 3. Young vines produce beautiful
fruit, but old vines produce the richest. 6.
Prune in autumn to insure growth, but in
spring to insure fruitfulness. Z. Plant your
vines before you put up trellises. s. Vines,
like old soldiers, should have good arms.
9. Prune spurs to enc developed bud, for
the nearer the old wood the higher favored
the fruit. 10. Those who prune long must
soon climb. II. Vine leaves love the sun I;
the fruit the shade. Il. Every leaf has
bud at the base, and either branch or
tendril opposite it. Is. A tendril is an
abortive fruit hunch-a bunch of fruit a
productive tendril.
Beginners in grape culture would do
well to study these maxims, and be guided
by them in their management Of vines, in
either garden or vineyard. They comprise
much useful and practical information in
little spaced. d. Z. Moore, in the Inde-

The Black walnut.

An exchange has fallen in love with the
black walnut, and urges the people to plant
young trees of this variety 1t says: Every
landowner should plant the black walnut.
1t is the most valuable of trees. No tree
can nearly approach it in yearly future.
Professor Brown, OF Ontario, estimates
from an experience Of his own that an
acre planted with this tree may in fifty
years produce a valae of Sl3,350. Pro-
fessor Beale from his experience thought
this estimate too low. Think Of a mean
annual income Of 1926 from an acre of
trees the planting of which could be done
for less than $50. At least every waste
piece, especially If the soil is rich, should
be planted with the black walnut 1t is a
sturdy, handsome, vigorous tree, easily
grown, because no animal and only one in
sect feed on 1t. The white walnut, or but
ternut, is also good thing to plant. The
black walnut has transcendent value but
little known, which is that the fine Euro
pean walnut grows finely on it, either
stock or top-grafted. The harder varie-
ties Of this finest OF all nuts from the north
of Europe should succeed top-grafted on
this hardy stock in the Middle and West
ern States

This willingness to give social reference
to secure the privilege of worshiping at st.

President Lincoln. One day during the
war young officer called upon him to Sc
cure an appointment in the army, and
brought with him letters of recommends
ton signed by all the F. F. VS. in the
District of Columbia. There had been no
application for Office before President Lin
coin so strongly supported by the aristoc-

These were the words which rang in
childish tones through the upper corridor
Of the New City Hall yesterday morning,
and brought Chronicle reporter to the
door of Judge Wallace's court room, whence
the cry had come.
There was seen one OF the saddest sights
which human eye could witness. On one
side OF the room was a lady dressed in
deep black, elasping tightly and deter
minedly pretty child of Z years The
little girl wore the pallid expression of
fear The mothers face was haggard and
full of despair.
Across the room sat the father, cold and
stern. He looked upon the scene without
giving evidence of the slightest emotion.
Standing near him was the portly baillfi
of the Court, who seemed undetermined
as to the right course to pursue.
Give the child to the father" said the
Judge.
The bailiff advanced, and the little one
chung closer to its mother, and tears began
to roll down its cheeks.
| The manly bailiff dreaded his task and
turned to the Court with a look which
meant: / cannot do it, Judge; they love
each other"
Again the order came from the bench !:
Mr.. Bailif, take the child from the
mother and give her to her father. He is
the custodian by law, and this Court or
habeas corpus cannot alter that decree
The mother saw that it was useless to
resist any longer. She yielded to the de-
mand of the bailif but the child did not
yield. Unable to appreciate the order of
the Court, the tiny girl fought the brawny
balliff, kicking and crying until she was
landed in her fathers arms.
The mothers heart seemed broken as
the father carried IF the squirming baby
in his arms. She cried and could not be
comforted.
This scene is the sequel of divorce suit
determined by Judge Wilson last Septem-
Der. Lydia Kennedy sued Albert w.
Kennedy for divorce on the grounds of
| cruelty, failure to provide and desertion.
They had been married twenty-three
years and had six children, the care and
i custody of which were awarded to the
father, though the divorce was allowed
| the wife. Not being able to stand the sep
| aration from the youngest, Mrs. Kennedy
| few days since, got possession of the lit
tie girl. The father sued out writ of
habeas corpus, and it was upon the hearing
of the writ that the Court gave the order
which caused this pitiful scene described

Remedy for Drunkennes.

The Russian physician and publicist,
Portugaloff, declares that strychnine in
simultaneous injections is an immediate
and infallible remedy for drunkenness.
The craving of the inebriate for drink is
changed into positive aversion in day,
and after a treatment Of eight or ten DAYS
the patient may be discharged. Even
should the appetite return months after
ward, the first attempt TO resume drinking
will produce such painful and nauseatinr
sensations that the person will turn away
from the liquor in disgust The strychnine
is administered by dissolving one grain in
200 drops of water and injecting five drops
of the solution every twenty-four hours.
DIR. Portugalof recommends the establish
ment of inebriate dispensaries in connec-
ton with police stations.-sShanehoi Mer-
