have her arms around her, telling

Girdllng Fruit Trees.

The Palatka (Fla.) Ne1cS refers
10 some experiences in girdling
fruit trees. On that subject the
editor says:
"My experience thus far proves
that if well done, one operation Is
sufficient. The zig tree | treated,
two years ago, was loaded with
fruit last year, and the same this
season. My navel orange trees
hold as much fruit this year as
trees oil the other varieties a light
crop all around.
'Girdling or shifting The bark of
a non bearing fruit trees, seems to
change its whole nature or habit.
1t puts on a heavy crop of fruit,
and in maturing that fruit it calls
on the vitality of the tree, 1t does
not run so much to new growth.
and in the fall it forms new fruit
buds Tor The following season, and
continues to do so year alter year.
There is no "after treat meni," ex-
cept the more you lake from a tree
the more yOu ought 10 put back.
The scar, if the treee Is girdled
early in the spring, (the only time
it should be dOne), will heal over
during The summer and be as good
as new"

is 1T WRONG TO KISS.

The frolicsome waves love to kiss the
white sand
The zephyrs salute the green trees;
The golden sunbeans kiss the beautiful
rose
AS it blushingly mods to the breeze.
The daisy, most lowly and modest of
flowers,
Receives a night kiss fron the dew
And the winds touch the lips of the "em-
blem Oflove"-
The violet Of purple and blue.
The silvery moonboams salute the hill
tops,
The bill shadows kiss the blue seI
And the bright little waves dance, caper
and sing
For star kiss from over the lea.
The tear drops of heaven fall gently on
earth
TO kiss the green grass, and in May
The buds burst their tendrils in joy to re-
CGlV6
A kiss from the Ruler of Day.
The birds kiss each other and twitter
good night,
The clouds kiss the mist on the hill
The grape vine embraces the old cherry
tree,
And the pebbles are kissed by the rlll
The ivy vine chambers the moss bordered
wall
To get the first sip of the dew.
If nature, then, seems ouly born to be
kissed.
don't think it wrong, love, do youf

A New Puzzle.
New York Sun.

New York Sun.
No house is complete now with
out its pig-pe and four little pigs.
"Pigs in Glover" is the latest toy
puzzle and il is having a great run.
The puzzle consists of a circular
block of wood, with a pasteboard
rim around it and three other pa
per rims in concentric circles in
side of the outer one. Each of
these inner rings of cardboard has
an opening in il and the openings
are on opposite sides. The inside
ring of all is two inches in diameter
and is covered over. II is called
the pen. Four marbles are placed
in the outer division OF The box.
These are pigs. The test of skill
is TO get them all into the pen
without touching them with the
fingers. The box is manipulated
in one or both hands, so that the
marbles roll one at a time through
the gates in the circular fences and
finally into the inner inclosure.
They act much very like pigs,
inasmuch as nobody can be sure OF
them until he has them all in the
pen. He may get three in aud,
while trying To put the fourth in
the others will run out. Anybody
who has ever driven pigs will ap-
preciate the toy, aud IL everybody
who appreciates 1t has driven pigs
II proves that there thousands of
pig-drivers in the city.

nv own room this morning"
"Yes, Jane has some work 10 do
for me-"
With a very cross face, Margie
put down the story-bOok she was
reading, and went to her room.
"IfI were Emily Perry, | should
Mt have bit of work to do" she
grumbled. emily always does
just what she likes, and has all the
nice things she wants. When |

she thought there were great
many things more suitable for q
little cir! like me than silk. Emily
has had silk dress ever so long.

Margie worked herself up into
persuasion that she was a very bad
ly used little girl indeed. Slowly
and unwillingly she moved about
her room, and when it was finish
ed felt so little satisfied that she
hastily pulled down the curtain
that the bright sun might not peep
in at the dusty bureau and ill-made
bed.
Mamma was sitting on the porch
as she went down, ready tor her
walk, and could not have noticed
the pout on the rosy little face, for
she took 1T very GondIy between
both hands, and kissed first one
round cheek aud then the other.
what a darling little face it is"
she said, with a loving smile. "If
mamma should go away, what will
she do without sight of it every
day?"
Margie could not get over her
pet all in a minute. She had heard
so much about her mothers going
away for her health, that she
thought little of what she said.
She did not return the kiss, but
waited to hear what she was TO say
TO MISS Lane and went down the
gravel walk TO the gate.
But she tuned to look back and
for the first time it struck her how
pale and feeble her mother was
looking. With a quick run she
was again at her side.
Il do love you, mamma, DEAR"
she said. I'm sorry | was cross
about doing things; I'll come back
and read to you "
Mammals arms again went about
the little form and there were tears
in her eyes when Margie again went
down the walk. The little girl
waved her hand with bright smile
back al the gate, and then went OH
outside the tall hedge.
"HOw is your mother this morn
ing, Margie 2" asked Mrs. Hartley,
the lady who lived next door,

Let ms Have the Truth.
Birmingham Evening Herald.

birmingham Evening Herald.
Rev. DR.. Armitage, OF New York
City, who preached fifty one years
ago, in 1888, at MllIport, in Fayette
county, in this State, is now deem
ed, we believe, The foremost ex.
pOunder OF the faith among Baptist
people and Churches OF America.
This venerable divine, not long
ago, spent day IN lndiapolis with
Mrs. President Harrison, and last
Sunday was telling in his pulpit
that she is "a sweet, lovely, plaln,
unassuming, we'll educated, re-
fined Christian woman, talking
sense and realizing the responsible
tiles Of her new position" She had
besought The Doctors prayers OH
behalf of her husband, and he had
promised to give them. "Then,"
said The wise aud good old gentle
man, ''she said her only fear was
that her husband will be too con-
ncienIious. If you knew how ten
der his conscience is you would
not wonder that | say that"
DIR. Armitage referred in scath-
ing terms to the practice of buying
and selling votes, and expressed
the hope that in the coming four
years the growing desire for The
publication of the ballot would
"crush out the whole abominlnable
system, and let every man, white
or black, rich or poor, who is COW
cred by the shield of the COnstitu-
ton 60 to The ballot box unsold
and free from all control and die
taiOn."
Amen we say to all that and this,
it may be remarked, is the first re-
ference made by a Northern
preacher to the crowning vice of
the age and country. tits The first
righteous condemnation OF an in
fanny praciiced in the late presi-
Dental election, which the Presi-
dent is supposed to have approved
when he made Wannamaker a
member Of his Cabinet. The pop
ular assumption is that Quay, a
corrupt party leader and manager,
contracted with a rich ciothier to
give him a Cabinet position for
100000 to be used by Dudley and
others in buying voters in "blocks
of five." If these be facts, we fail
to appreciate the good wife's exalt-
ed estimate of the presidential
husbands stainless conscience. If
Dudley bought Indiana and New
York, as DR.. Armilage evidently
believes, President Harrison must
have tough conscience and rudest
sepsibilities when he absolutely
rewards with loftiest honors the
very man who gave Quay and
Dudley this enormous corruption
fund.
1t is further true, and we believe
that the prayerful Mr.. Armitage
will concur with us, that Mr.. Har-
risOn should at least tell the people
that Wannamaker did not buy his
Office in the manner indicated, and
that Dudley did not corrupt he bali
lot box IN Indiana and that Quay's
agents did not buy The majority in
New York. If Mr.. Harrison will
simply say that these are not facts
and that Wannamaker is worthy in
all things of the place he fills and
did not pay for il, the masses of
the people will believe the Presi-
dent speaks the truth, and nobody
in America will hesitate in award
ing all honor and respect and de-
vollOn 10 a chief magistrate hav-
ing only this one blot upon his his
tory. Let it be erased and through
the statement and intervention, if
need be, of the venerable and pa
lriolic Baptist preacher of New
York.
