She Was Not Dead,

In London recently a well known ar
tist Of the camera was called in to photo
graph the body of a young lady who had
just died under peculiar and distressing
circumstances. The body was laid on q
sofa in the drawing room and presented
singularly beautiful spectacle. The
photographer was left alone in the room
with the body and took negative.
After inspecting it he was not satisfied
that the exposure had been sufficient,
and he took another. And then, to his
amazement, he discovered that the two
negatives were not alike. The body
must have moved. Not having lost all
his nerve by this extraordinary occur
renee, he took third negative, which
was exactly like the second. He instant
ly summoned the nurse who had been in
attendance on the deceased girl, and af-
ter some difficulty and delay had the
doctor fetched. To cut q long story
short, the young lady was not dead at
all. This Is true story. - Atlanta

Soft Soap for Fruit Trees
II one has an old orchard, tho trunks
and larger branches covered with loose
bark, on which MOSES and lichens find q
foothold, and which afford hiding
place for numerous injurious insects in
various states Of development. the first
thing to be done Is to scrape Off all the
loose scales OF bark. Use q moderately
dull hoe-a sharp one might iniure the
bark; one with short handle will allow
the lower branches TO be reached. Use
the home made soft soap, dilute 1t with
hot water, stir it well until it Is thin
enough to apply with small whitewash
brush or large paint brush. Put plenty
OF it on tho trunks and the larger
branches.
One should endeavor to apply the soar
very early in spring, SO that it may not
dry mp at once, but be gradually washed
Oil by the rains that usually occur al
this season. When the trees have had q
thorough washing, the bark will present
beautifully smooth appearance that
VIII amply repay one for tho trouble.
For removing the green growth on the
outside OF flower pots, this soap is excel,
lenti 1t has also been recommended as
vehicle to apply kerosene for aphides
or plant lice and other insects. One pint
OF soft soap is mixed with half pint OF
kerosene. Mix thoroughly, add to seven

Early Potatoes.

Farmers may forward the seed for
their crops Of early potatoes and gain
several days. A method practiced by
many, and explained recently in Ameri.
can Agriculturist. is as follows: Cut the
fubers, sprinkle tho cut surfaces freely
With gypsum Qand plaster to dry them
and keep them from sticking together.
The pieces are then laid in flats" or
other shallow boxes. They are placed
close together. skin sides up and exposed
TO the sunlight in the kitchen window.
The eyes will form strong sprouts which
at tho proper season may be planted. If
the first shoots that appear above ground
arc cut by the frost, other shoots will ap-
pear from the dormant buds, and the
labor will not be al lost. OF course this
forwarding process is advised for those
only who wish to be early with a part Of
their crop, and who can try part Of
their early kinds to see II it will pay. A
still further help is to nail two boards to-
gether. after the manner of a trough;
place these by the side Of the rows, and
u frost seems probable, or even cool
night, 1t Is but the work Of q minute to
turn them over the rows; indeed it
would bc well to cover tho rows every
night until the potatoes outgrow their
protection.

Points In Pruning.

3 r. n. Augur, Connecticut's state po.
nnoaogist, sums up the points Of good
lEuning ~ follows, In Popular Garden.
lng: 70 have an ideal tree, begin at the
outsst to prune annually ut least. A
Soung tree ought to have only three or
&our leading branches; prune all others
mt, % ~ to keep very open tree dur
ing The early years.
VaSieties vary as to needed pruning,
thus the r. I. Greening needs different
plan from tho Baldwin or the Ben Davis.
1hs No,thern Spy needs spreading, tho
0reening needs throwing up. and all
aeed keeping IN evenly balanced heads.
With pears, those varieties like tho
Bu6um and Sheldon need spreading,
and the Seckel always much thinning
out, but neither the apple nor the pear
usually need shortening in unless ono
sided In shape; never let branches crowd,
for sunlight and free circulation Of air
are indispensable for well developed
fruit, and q superfluous branch is need
Les drain upon the resources Of tree.
- good pruning knife and an iron NAL.
1T and thin bladed chisel are excellent
tools for pruning. When trees are
hPerly attended to no large branches
mould need removal. but when that 10
ths case good saw is required.

Jason; nature has made its wealth so
apparent to the naked eye that the
miners will come and cause the val
leys to vibrate with the metallic ring
of the hammer and steel, and by his
reward share with all the avenues Of
trade the gift of nature. Where there
is no such grim specter as over pro-
duction, for by the aid of the deep
water courses of the Pacific that kiss
the gold-decked sands of Washington,
a natural harbOr is given for the great
ships that will be built from the tim
ber grown on Washington soil, and
under the glorious stars and stripes
will bear our surplus product To sthe

Truly Washington is an emigrant's
Eden. Every spot is garden, and
every garden productive of fruits and
flowers. Every fruit of luscious sweet
ness and every flower bearing its own
sweet perfume. And while the lands
OF our Eastern States are robed in the
cold and pitiless mantle of white, and
the birds and cattle shiver in the shell
tered hooks; where the hand of the
farmer is practically paralyzed by the
ice and frost, and he sits restless and
fretful waiting for the return of spring
that he can begin his planting, all is
different here in Washington. The
valley lands are green and fruits and
flowers grow and add beauty to the
scene. The air is filled with sweet
melody from tiny throats and children
romp and play, warmed by the re-
markable freak of nature-the soft
chinook wind.

How to Datect Counterfeits.

A few counterfeit greenbacks are
floating around. Here is an infallible
rule for detecting counterfeits in
greenbacks or United States currency.
The writer paid $50 for it many years
ago, and has never known it to fail
yet. If you have the slightest doubt
of the genuiness of United States
notes of any denomination look at the
number of the note, take the last two
figures; divide by four; if the remain
der is one, the note is genuine, has the
letter "A" in the upper right hand
and lower left hand corner; if the re-
mainder be 2 then the letter B"
should so appear; if 3, then, &C." if
the 4 goes even and there is no re-
mainder, then the letter "D" should
appear. In the Oldest issue of green
backs the position of the correspond
ing letter is reversed, appearing on
the lower right hand and middle left
hand side of the bill. A fellow one
morning with bogus bill put the
writer in mind of the old rule, and it
is here given publicity for the first
time, so far as the writer's observation
extends.-Astoridn

RICHMOND's FALL.
How the First News Of the Event
Was Received at Washington.

1t is safe to say that no message
ever sent by telegram was of so much
national interest as the one which Mr..
VIM. z. Kettles, then an operator in
the service of the Government at the
War Department of Washington, re-
ceiyed from Richmond on the morn
ing of April 8, 1865. Mr.. Kettles,
then a mere boy of fifteen, but an ex-
pert telegraph operator, was working
the Fortress Monroe and City Point
wire at Washington. The Washing
ton and Cherrystone operators were
engaged on long message, when sud-
denly both men were taken aback by
what seemed to be most foolish de-
mand from Fortress Monroe: "Turn
down for Richmond, quickl" Had a
a flash of lightning struck through
the wall at that moment the shock
could not have been greater than it
was on the part of every man in that
room. Such thing as communica-
ton with Richmond, which had not
been known since the beginning of
the war, notwithstanding the frequent
successes OF the Union Army OF late,
was entirely out of the question in
everybody's mind. Richmond, the
great stronghold of the South!
Could it be jokef
There was a great alacrity in turn
ing down the adjustment. There
were trembling fingers while it was
being done, and there was a gather
ing of many operators with curiosity,
suspense and impatience combined to
see what it meant. Sure enough!
The signals of the operator in Rich
mond to the operator in Washington
were bounding over the line. No
signal was ever answered more
promptly. Then came the question:
Do you get me well?'
al do, 60 ahead"
"All right. Here's the first mes
sage"
RICHMOND. Va, April 8, 1s65.-The Hon.
entered Richmond at eight O'clock this
morning. G. WKITzEL,
Brigadier-General Commanding.
Mr.. Kettle comedies that he copied
the message, but he could never tell
how. He remembers starting up
from his chair and upsetting inkstand
and instrument, kicking over q tin
and sat in the fireplace, in order to
make noise; and running for Gen.
Eckart's room, where sat President
Lincoln and Mr.. Tinker, the cypher
clerk, talking in low tone. AS Mr..
Kettles was about to hand the mes
sage to Mr.. Tinker, the President
caught sight of the words, and with
one motion and two strides, message
and President were out of sight on
the way to Stanton's room. Mr..
Tucker and everybody else were dumb
founded. Kettles quietly returned to
his instrument, walking like one in a
dream; proceeded mechanically to
turn the inkstand right side up, and
to straighten up his overturned ma
chine. Then he sat down in his chair
and stared straight before him in
blank amazement. Around him
were the other operators, every man
alike fustered and unable to get his
mind back to his work or to utter
connected words.

Walla, was on his way home from
Wallowa county in charge of his
fathers horse, recovered from horse
thieves, he met with painful acci-
dent while near Athens, Or. A pistol
in his pocket was accidentally dis
charged, the ball glancing down his

ball was extracted. The wound,
though not dangerous, is quite pain
