Tho other day accidentally ran
across q member Of the new school of

in Chatter, who recently made man
rich by letting him prescribe hot water

"Is it possible" l asked, "that there
are ladies who will walk around and
around their rooms on their hands and
knees--"
"Hsnds and feet" she said ipter
rupting me; on their four palms,"
"There really are such persons?"
Il am one," said she.

their backs aud ges,iculate with all
their limbs, like an overturned beetle

ayes, yes," she said, ''snd it's most

beneficial it is"
"Will you kindly tell me where
your sense Of humor is when YOU are
engaged in these most peculiar per.
formances?"
II don't know" said the lady. 81

Why?"

in silence to myself the utter impos-
sibility Of my locking my chamber

circus of such Dimensions. Breaking

"And do you 90 down stairs on all

"Oh, no." she replied with = sigh,

As we can't do that we are ordered to

CABBAGE SEED GROWING.
Methods Employed by Long Island Pro-
duceTS.

Methods Employed by Long Island Pro-
dneeFS.
An exchange describes the cabbage
seed industry on Long Island in this
manner:
Contracts for the seed are made in adj
vance with seedsmen or their representa-
tives. stipulating the vaTieNy TO be grown
and the price TO be paid for the seed.
Seed for the plants is sown about the
20th of June. and they aim to set out
the plants between Aug. and 10. They
are set in rows three feet apart. about
10. 600 to the acre. For this purpose the
grower aims to have the cabbage grow a
small. soft head. not sufficiently grown
for table use.
About the first Of November. before
freezing weather. the cabbage is taken
up by the roots and prepared for win
tering. 70 do this. a wide and deep
furrow is opened by plowing both ways
in it. In this the cabbage are conpactly
set. about three abreast, and the earth
thrown against them with the pl0w.
covering them as nearly as possible.

WAYS an easy task. but the farmers sue
ceed very well as rule. As soon rs the
ground can be worked in the spring the
cabbage are taken out of the trenches
and set ont. about two and one-haf 10y
four feet. according TO variety. To IA
cilitate the exit Of the seed stalk. the
head of the cabbage is generally gashed
with knife.
About the Goth Of July the seed is
ready for harvesting. The seed stalk is
cut of and allowed to lie upon the ground
/ for few days before il is drawn in.
The shelving OF the wagon is lined with
canvas to prevent wasting of seed, very
/ much Of which is shelled out in the pro-
cess Of loading. 1t is then taken to the
barn floor. where a slight fiai.ing finishes
/ the work. and the seed is cleaned with q
common tanning mill The crop varies
( largely. running between $50 and 500
/ pounds to the acre as extremes, and the
farmers realize from 80 TO GO cents per
pound. 1t is estimated that about 200.-
900 pounds are annually raised in this
part of Long Island.

rreat number OF trees are forever injured
lv such boxes. AID the great increase Of
slme kinds Of insects is solely due 10
them
For instance. tie maple bark borer
rTrochilium acerli) is almost solely con-
Gned to the in jnre,l bark Of maple trees
protected by boxes. and is scarcely ever
found in normally growing trees. Such
tree boxes furnish good shelter for the
formation of cocoons and afford winter
quarters for many noxious insects. The
web worm makes excellent use OF them
A small box elder. with trunk Of about
four inches in dianeter-a tree strong
enough to thrive without projection
lad been inclcsed BY the usual form OF a

Orggia leucnstigma. 4 cocoons Of Aero
nycta Americana. and papa of Datana
rnbicunda. besides innumerabie old and
empty pupal skins Of these and other
insects.
Ii is TO be added in this connection
that this tree grew in a PARK in Balti-
more. and was not as badly infested as
trees in Washington. A Young tree in a
tree box ought TO be firmly fastened at
The top to all sides Of the box, and this
by means Of flexible bands. TO be re-
newed from time 10 time. In this man
ncr a high wind would be prevented
from producing any irictionof the trunk
or branches against tlic edges Of the box.
After the tree attains size of two
inches in diameter the tree box ought to
be removed. and the members Of the
city police should be instructed 10 pay
especial attention TO their further neces-
sary protection.
The shelter afforded by the wooden
tree boxes is. in my judgment. the prime
reason why the web worm has become
such a great nuisance in Washington.
They should either be discarded entirely
after the trees have attained a trunk di-
ameter Of four inches. and heavy penal
ties enacted for hitching horses or for in
any way cutting or defacing the trunk.
or.What would perhaps be safer, and
certainly very much less objectionable,
they should he replaced as soon as possi-
ble by round iron ones ike those now in
use on Fifteenth street. between New
York avenue and * street. These VIII
afford less shelter fer cocoons, and are
in every way less s.obiecgionable.

Does Experience Count?
