Trnnsplanting Evergreens.

During the month of August l wit
messed the transplanting of several hun
dred Austrian and Scotch pines, writes
Joseph Meehan in Garden and Forest.
The result was the loss of nearly the
whole lot. and it was such a surprise to
me that think the facts in regard to it
worth recording. The weather was all
that could be wished for, being warm
and moist, and the soil was in the same
condition. The pines had been growing
close together in rows and were from
four to five feet high. AS they were not
as bushy us could be wished we thought
best to prune them in well, and after the
transplanting a man was sent with
shears to clip them closely. This he did,
cutting Off all the latest growth, taking
from six to ten inches from the branches.
Out of 300 plants all were so trimmed
except some half dozen, which were pur-
posely left unpruned to see which would
do the better. At that time / confident
ly expected that the pruned trees would
show the benefit of the work. However,
they soon began to turn brown, and in
the end every one died, while every one
of the few left unprned are alive today.
As soon as il was observed how the
matter was going to end another row
was set out, unpruned, and all the plants
in it are thriving today, No doubt the
severe pruning was the cause of this
failure. All the younger or active foIi-
age had been cut away. leaving only that
which was past its usefulness and which
was about ready to drop off. The trees
were, in fact in just the same condition
that deciduous tree would have been if
stripped Of all its leaves in the middle Of
summer. 1t was a costly bat a valuable
lesson, and one worth putting on record
as a warning to others

A Duel of PnIiteness.

Old Judge Fernald, of Santa Barbara,
has the reputation of being the politest
man in California. He never loses an
opportunity to doff his hat or to offer
some slight attention to wayfaring men
and women. One day, as he was about
to take the train for San Francisco, he
reached the rear steps of the last car
just as they were approached by young
priest.
After the CLOTH" said the chivalric
Judge, stepping back with a courtly bow.
Gray hairs have the preference" re-
turned the priest, with a splendid wave
of the hand.
"The church always has precedence,
retorted the judge, taking another back
ward step. hat in hand.
THE church follows in the footsteps
of the fathers" replied the priest, bow
ing low and indicating the way to the
steps.
The duel of politeness was not half
through, neither yielding an inch, when
the train pulled out, leaving both bow
ing and smiling on the platform.-San
Francisco Examiner.

more than e200 on total tonnage of
1858, and the average age of the four
vessels is about 20 years.
That great part of this large sum Of
$3.50 900 has been wasted becomes tolera-
bly, apparent when we examine into the
relative cost of other ships. The Incon-
slant is large iron and wood steam
frigate launched in 1868, and is there
fore 81 years old. Her displacement
exceeds that Of all the royal yachts
put together by more than q thousand
TONS a man-of-war is not, of course,
decorated and furnished as royal yacht
is On the other hand, she has much
more wear and tear and contains expens-
i've guns and machinery such as find no
place in yacht. The original cost Of
the Inconstant, including. incidentals,
was just over e9S3, 900, or under ESQ a
ton. There has since been expended on
her little over e172, 900, or say e456, 900
in all. This represents less than SO a
ton, or very little more than one-third
of the cost per ton of the four royal
yachts.
The oldest of our ironclads, the Black
Prince, to take another case, was launched
in 1861, and is therefore of approximately
the same age as the average royal yacht
She is of 9,2l0 tons displacement-about
twice that of all the royal yachts-and
she has cost up to date e740, 900 in round
numbers, or very little more than ESQ a
t0n Vet in har t,Pentv-aipht ypars' ey-
istence she has seen a great amount of
service, and when we contrast her cost
per ton with that of the Elfin-eS0 with
&500-with that of the Victoria and Al
bert-e80 to e125-or with that of the
Osborne--G30 with e153-it becomes very
evident either that she is very cheap or
that the yachts are terribly expensive.
The latter is, no doubt, the fact and the
main reason of it is not far to seek.

Billy Lynch tells story about dog he
used to own in Chicago, which goes far
toward proving that brute can reason.
He had fine st, Bernard which was
good retriever, and on Sundays would
take him about half block from his
house on Indiana avenue and let him
carry the papers home he purchased from
the newsboy. One morning it was rain
ing, and Billy said he spoke to the dog
just as he would to child, and told him
that he didn't care about walking over
to the corner, so he might as well take
the nickel and go and get the paper. He
wrapped a nickel up in piece of paper
and gave it to the dog, which immedi-
ately went to the corner and waited for
the boy. Billy watched him and saw
that he got the paper all right, and was
so pleased that the next Sunday he re-
peated the experiment, and the next Sun
day did the same thing.
The following Sunday he oversight
himself and was awakened by scratch
ing at his window. Getting up he saw
that his dog had come out of the back
yard into llttie paSSageWay between
his bedroom and neighboring house
and was endeavoring to wake him up.
Knowing it was Sunday, he gave the
do, q nickel and told him to go and get
the paper, which he did. Billy was
awake next Sunday, but concluded to
see what his dog would do, and, sure
enough, it came around to the window
and scratched. The next Sunday and
the next we're tried, and the dog was
always on time. Now, whether the dog
knew when Sunday came or was aware
of the fact by the newsboys being more
vociferous on these days is not known,
but he was thoroughly tested and would
not come to the window except Sun
days. Billy thinks that the dog reasoned;
that it would be hard task for any one
to say that he didn't.-Helena (Mont.)

There is q vague notion abroad in the
minds of our people and in our literature
that witchcraft follies in New England
came to an abrupt close in the Seven
teenth century. Such, however, is not
the case. The successor of the two Math-
ers in the Eighteenth century did not
hesitate to preach from the pulpit their
unwavering belief in "the work of the
devil" Thus the Rev. Ebenezer Turell,
a graduate of Harvard, left at his death,
in IT'S, a manuscript account Of a case
of witchcraft Speaking of divination,
he says: Turn not the sieve, etc, to
know futurities. You only
crafty Satan and invite him into your
company to deceive you" Specially in
teresting is his notice of supeEstitious
practices current in New England He
says:
"The horseshoe is vain thing and
has no natural tendency to keep off
witches or evil spirits from the houses
or the vessels they are nailed to. If
Satan should by such means defend you
from lesser dangers, tits to make way for
greater ones and get fuller possession of
your hearts! 'Tis an evil thing to hang
witch papers on the neck for the cure of
agues, to bind up the weapon instead of
the wound, and many things of the like
nature which some in the world are
fond of"
What clear insight into superstitious
usages which some of our forefathers
were fond of. How natural the minis
ters advice sounds.-The Open Court.

Tattooed AICerians.

In Algeria every girl born of native

also considerably tattooed on the backs
of their hands, their forearms and chests,
as well as on their shoulders, their wrists
being especially adorned with drawings
representing bracelets and flowers strung
together. AS rule, women are the OPP

between the ages of and s that they

INTERESTING INFORMATION REGARD
ING 1.-THE GREAT COMMONER."

His Long Record as Worker in Congress-
An Incident of His Canvass for the Speak
ershIp-His Love of Domestic Life-A
Story of Mrs Randall.
Since July of 1888 the seat of Phila-
delphia's popular congressman, who has
been called the Great Commoner," has
been vacant on account of the serious
illness of the incumbent. Mr.. Randall
was regularly in his seat for twenty-five
years, or from the time of his first
election in 1862 until his sudden illness
in midsummer, 1888. The history of the
ailments which have untitled him for
congressional duties is intimately con-
nected with his indefatigable labors as
public man. Mr.. Randall was made
speaker of the house in 1S76-77, at the
time of the disputed election case be-
tween Hayes and Tilden, and he con-
tinued in that position five years, or
until 1881, when the opposition had the
majority. In the speakers chair he
gained national prominence as a party
leader, and after leaving it he retained
his position as party leader. With his
reputation as worker, public life could
not be a sinecure, and he devoted all his
energies to official work.
During the hecongressional recess Of 1884
80 Mr.. Randall made a southern trip,
stopping at Louisville and Nashville, and
exploring the new iron developments in
northern Alabama. Throughout his ca
reer in congress his status was that of
growing man, and he held positions on
every important committee, and when
ever his party was in power was honored
with craftsmanship.
For months before his health crisis in
1888 Mr.. RandalPs physicians advised
him of the dangers of overwork, and
wanted him to take a long rest. The

Something About the Welsh Musical Fes-

The Welsh "Eisteddfod' held in Cen
trail Music hall, Chicago Jan. and 2,
was one of many recent revivals on
American soil Of an ancient institution of
Wales, the musical and literary congress.
The only one held in Chicago previous
to this one was in 1881. Since that time
Chicago Welshmen have competed in
the exercises at Racine, Wis, where the
congresses are held almost annually.
They are also held at Utica, N. Y, and
at Pittsburg The original 'eisteddfod"
was the national bardic congress of
Wales. The object of the American
congresses is to revive old memories,
renew social ties, and show recent prog
ress in national literature and music.

/ Milky Way.

| learned the other day that the big
milk supply companies of the city found
it necessary to exercise e surveillance
over their drivers, but it has been al
ready reduced to an elaborate system.
An experienced and dishonest driver can
start out with fifty gallons of milk in
spected pure at the depot, and from the
supply deliver sixty-tive gallons, the
fifteen gallons accruing to his own profit,
and being secured by judicious watering
at various points on the route. Before the
discovery of this practice some of the
drivers had regular run Of customers
of whom their employers knew nothing.
The companies inspectors now go about
the city at random, and, following q de-
