European travellers visiting the United
States invariably declare Lat the resi-
delce districts of Boston are more attract
i've than those of New York There is an
easy explanation to he offered for their
preference for the New England capital.
Boston has found substitute for shade
trees in the finest residence quarter. The
long blocks of substantially built brick
and stone houses there are covered with
Ivy trained rs high as the second floor line
or TO the roof, as the taste Of the occupants
req hires less or more Of this beautiful
screen of fresh foliage.
Tue absence OF trees passes unnoticed
when the eye is refreshed by constant
glinIpses Of yerdurc on the house fronts.
On the hottest midsummer days the resi-
dcnCe streets OF Boston look cool and at,
tractive. The monotonous character of
the architecture is concealed by this most
graceful and mXuriant of vines. In the
streets of New York there are fewer shade
trees than are to be seen in Boston, and
hence there is more urgent need of vine
planting; but the residents here have been
slow to appreciate the necessity for screen
ingand decorating their brown stone fronts.

But Arthur was too dumb-founded TO
speak. His father kindly repeats the
question, and finally Arthur says: Just

I'd get loving care and attention when
sick. Yes, and I'D want to improve on
the old state Of things, or else it wouldn't
pay to change, don't you see? I'd want
to find man with fewer faults than my
father had, and who would love me just
as much as he did; yes, and I'd want to
improve on the mother business, too,

the mischief would be the use of max
ing change, at all, old fellow? Don't
you see?" and Mr.. Medford passed his
arms over the shoulders of the boy and
patted him confidingly.
Such talk and treatment as this from
his father quite broke down the logged
| resolution with which Arthur had set
out on the trip, and he blurted out:
But it's Julia, papa; there's no living
in the same house with her. She hates
us boys"
Tut, tut, Arthur"
"She does; she told me this morning
that four boys are too many for one
house; and I told her l thought so, too,
if they had her for a sister, and that I
was going to run away. Then she tan
talized me until I was provoked into
saying those ugly words that you
| heard
''Well, we'll; ought to have known
the other side before
| "You didn't think we'd blow on girl,
did you? We boys don't blow on each
other"
| 20, we'll, these little matters can soon
be Strengthened out. Julia has been
sick good deal, and is nervous. But
she has good heart, and 1 know she
loves her brothers. There's the whistle
for the next station. Suppose you and
l just step off the train when it stops,
and return home together about noon,
just as though nothing had happened"
Just as you say, papa; but 1 don't
want Julia to think l hadn't the pluck
to stay away half day"
Nonsense! Danish such thoughts
Very likely she's crying her eyes out
about you by this time"
And to Arthur's amazement, so
finds her. She is the first one to spring
and embrace him, assuring him at once
that less than four boys in that house
can never be enough.
| Afterward his mother holds him by the
hand, stroking his hair, as she gently
says:
you thoughtlessly managed to give
us sad morning, my son. There's
young runaway in the basement who
would be puzzled to guess why any boy
! should want to run away from this
home. I shall want you to hear his
story, by and by, and see for yourself
what he has suffered.-Maria Barrett

PRUNING.
An Important Point and But Little On
derstood by Many Gardeners.

An Important Point and But Little On.
derstood by Many Gardeners.
There is no point in connection with
gardening that is really SO little under
stood as pruning, says the Ohio Farmer.
We have heard some preach the doc
trine of 'prune not at ALL" but we pre-
sumo they have been forced to teach
such doctrine from having seen some
fearful illustrations of bad work. Then
there are those who advocate pruning
whenever the knife is sharp, and they
must have been taught in the miseries
of some neglected orchard. There is no
doubt whatever that it is safer to prune
not at all than to have sharp knife in
the hands of an ignoramus. 1t is quite
certain the comparative neglect and in
difference into which the cultivation Of
the dwarf pear has fallen has been
caused by the bad mistakes of ignorant
primers. 1t is not at all uncommon to
see dwarf pear tree in the spring with
all its young vigorous growth cut away.
Nothing but fruit spurs left. All the
force is thus sent into the Towering con-
dition. The trees are mass of bloom
but the fruit Is few and far between. A
judicious thinning out of weak branches,
so as to get good form to the tree, is
about all the pruning required. If there
is tendency to produce an overpropor-
ton of fruit spurs, cut out good por-
ton of them.
Apple trees often require pruning
when somewhat advanced in years.
The old, stunted branches should be
cut out now and then whenever a young
and vigorous shoot is inclined to take
its place. Peach trees especially should
be subjected to this sort of pruning.
The grapevine when trained on lattice
work or trellises is very liable to have
its strong branches at the end of the
vine, and the good primer is ever on the
alert to get young, strong branch up
from near the ground. When he can
get this he often takes out an older one
weakened by age or hearing, and re-
places it with youth and vigor. The
rule in pruning grapevines is to shorten
the shoots in proportion to their
strength, but of course those who are
following any particular system will
prune according to the rules comprising
that system. As general rule, how
ever, we can say that excellent grapes
can be had by any system of pruning,
for the only object in any case is to get
strong shoots to push where they may
be desired, or to add to the increased
vigor of the shoot and increased size in
the fruit it bears
