Down on State street yesterday after
noon well-fed merchant stopped re-
porter and said: II say, young man, do
you ever try to correct public nui-
sances?"
"Oh, yes" said the young man with a
pleased smile.
well, then, why don't you say some
thing about those fools that go about
whistling perpetually? I went to bed
late last night completely worn out, and
| was walked at an unnaturally early
hour this morning by an internal idiot
who thought he could whistle Annie
Laurie to the tune of Aud Lang Syne.

little boy whistling Down Went Nc
Ginty to the Bottom of the Sea- Where
in the world that child ever learned that
outlandish melody is more than can

intense wrath: Maria, II that boy ever
whistles again in my presence I'll send
him to reform school There was an
exchange Of words between US, and the
result was scene, a crying spell, a

Home, Sweet Home got of the car
and walked down to the Office, and 1t
seemed to me that every body on the
street was whistling.
by the time l reached the Office
there was medley of whistles In my
brain--the shrill whistle, the rasping
whistle, the loud bass whistle, the
boys disjointed treble, and the mans
hideously smooth whistle, the fife-like
scream, and the long-drawn, hollow
sound of the flute. Oh, it was madden

that carried me up was making a sibi-

and looked startled. He afterward told
my Office boy that his jags is ratty this

himself: Il Had Fifteen Dollars in My

ALL ABOUT SPONGES.

If You Want Good Article 1t WIN Cos,
You Twenty Dollars.
Charles Wood has for many years pur
chased sponges for drug firm of Bos.
ton. Talking of the article the other
day he said:
Good sponges have become SO ex
pensive that they are a luxury to be en-.
joyed only by those we'll to do. OF
course you can buy reef sponge cheap,
small one costing only few cents
but if you want Turkey cup sponge
large enough for bathing purposes you
will have to pay 81 or SIS. Sponges
come all sizes; the largest one
/ ever saw measured twenty inches
across. These very large sponges are
apt not to BIO perfect, and they do not
bring as good prices as smaller and more
perfect ones. The largest Of the perfect
kind measures about fourteen inches
across the top and nine inches through,
such sponge being worth about $50.
1t is too large for bathing purposes, and
too expensive to be used in washing
carriages, and is kept by dealers for a
chance customer. A good size bathing
sponge Is about eight inches across the
top and five through, and is worth IS.
'"rhe expensive sponges are bought
principally by physicians and dentists,
and are used much in administering
ether. There are very many people
who can not tell the difference between
Turkey cups and common reef sponges,
and they are astounded at the difference
in price. They are asked s. for what
they think they can get just as good for
25 cents. There are sponges from
Florida called sleeps wool, which, in
the opinion of many buyers, are as good.
although much cheaper, for all practical
purposes as the silk ones They are
used mainly for washing carriages, al
though they make good bathing
sponge. Reef sponges come from Cuba
and Nassau, Turkey cups from around
islands OF the archipelago. Sleeps
wool and reef sponges come in 10, 90 and
4o,pound bales, and the finest of the
former, known as Rock Island goods,
sell wholesale at from 80 to s., per
pound. The Turkey cups are sorted at
London and Paris into three qualities
and sent to US in bags. They are sold
by the piece. Boston Clio be.

HERE AND THERE.

Never permit tree or vine to over
bear. A tree or vine that is almost
breaking with its load of fruit, may be a
handsome sight, but it is not the most
profitable one.
Cats and young chicks do not thrive
in the same yard. The feline nature
gets the better of the best pussy and
your chicks will disappear. Keep the
cats away from the temptation.
Stop croaking, is the advice given
by newspaper to farmers. Yes, stop
croaking; consent to being robbed and
let the sheriff turn you out of doors.
Don't grumble; be happy.
Always be careful about fire. In
this connection it is we'll to advise
watchfulness of the lamps to keep them
in good order. 1t was an exploded lamp
that set fire to Secretary Tracy's house.
Recent experiments prove that salt
is necessity for fowls, and that when 1t
is supplied them they keep in better
condition and lay larger number of
eggs. Salt is one of the constituents Of
eggs and must be provided.

days; for turkeys, 2s days, for Barbary
ducks, 80 days, and for geese 80 days.
In planning the garden arrange so
that as one crop natures the space will
be occupied by another coming on.
Some of the smaller and early maturing
varieties can be readily grown between
the rows Of the larger, and later would
be out of the way by the time the room

70. Glover and sowed grain should
never be allowed in young orchards;
grass, If kept short and annually top
dressed with manure, is admissible;
hoed crops, rs corn and potatoes do
we'll; and clear culture is best.
81. In well-managed orchards much
pruning is unnecessary, and when per-
formed, do but little in any one year;
thin the outside of the head and not the
center, and paint all wounds
%. Undesirable fruits, or those proved
untitled for the climate, may be changed
to good ones by grating; several gratis,
spread over the heads, win soon form
bearing trees. For large trees, divide
the grating through two or three sea-
sons.
20. For home use, set out good varie-
ties enough to keep up constant sue
cession from the midsummer kinds
throughout autumn and winter, and Of
long-keepers to last through spring till
the ripening Of strawberries.
"a. For market, choose such as bear
heavy crops of salable apples, and plant
orchards only in such places as they
succeed we'll in, and find a ready sale
at the most profitable times OF the year.
25. If trees are received when frozen,
they will be killed if thawed in air; but
If compactly buried in mellow soil be-
fore thawing, they will not be injured
26. Mice are excluded in winter by a
smooth, compact conical mound of soil
around the stem of each tree, to be lev
eled again in spring.
81. Old trees may be pushed into new
life, and bearing by top-dressing we'll a
circle two rods in diameter about them,
and pruning out dead shoots.
2s. As soon as young orchard is set
out, register the varieties in an account
book, otherwise the label being lost be-
fore bearing, loss and confusion of
names will result.
20. Tools for cultivating orchards
without tearing up roots are the Acme
smoothing harrow, shares and disk har-
row.
80. Destroy codling moths by destroy
ing with paris green and london purple,
and punch borers in their holes with
| flexible wire.
81. Farmers who allow cattle to break
into their young orchards should re-
member that fences are as important as
manure,
80. Planting in thin soil, setting trees,
hurriedly and allowing weeds and grass
possession of a hard and crusted earth
will not accumulate silver and gold.
83. Planting large nursery trees, care
lessly dug with short and mutilated
roots, will prove Improbable.
81 Shortening back the heads Of new
ly-transplanted trees after the opening
of the leaves, instead Of before the
swelling of the buds, checks the growth
and seriously INJURIES them.
IS. Allowing weeds and grass to grow
in young orchards invites mice and stunts
the trees.
SO. Permitting suckers to grow around
the trunks and those making wasteful

THE APPLE ORCHARD.
Thlrty-Eight Brief Rules for the Care G
an Apple Orchard.

Thirty-Eight Brief Rules for the Care of
an Apple Orchard.
For successful orcharding, there are
many requisites to DO observed which
are given in extended articles, and
which on account of their length the in
experienced are apt to overlook. They
may therefore be more useful if con-
densed in the following thirty-eight
brief rules:
/. Select a good soil, such as will
raise good farm crops.
.. Mako it mellow at once, or with
previous mellowing crops.
8. Hillsides of the rocky places are
admissible only in case plenty of barn
manure can be had for annual top
dressing.
L. See that the land has good natural
or artificial drainage.
8. Choose young and vigorous trees,
not over two years old from the graft.
8. See that ample roots are secured in
digging-enough to stiffen the tree
without stalking, and give ready
growth.
Z. Avoid large, overgrown or stunted
trees, which have short roots mutilated
by digging.
8. Remember that good supply Of
roots is more important than straight
stems or handsome heads.
0. Procure well-proved standard vari'
cites, and not new Landed sorts.
10. If trees from distance are partly
dry when received, bury them for Q
week, top and all, in finely pulverized
moist soil, to restore them.
IL. Before setting out, dig holes broad
enough to receive all the roots without
bending.
IL. Use no manure. except on the sur
face after setting, or in the remote part!
of large holes.
Is. In setting out, spread the root
out equally on all sides, at their full
length, and fill in compactly fine mel
low earth.
IA. After set, shorten back the lonl
shoots and thin out where too thick
giving a neat, even, moderate head.
Is. Always shorten back before tn,
buds swell, and never when parity o
wholly in Leaf
10. Keep the ground for several fee
around the newly-set trees clean AM
mellow all summer.
IL. Keep the ground cultivated owe
the whole surface for six or eight year
after transplanting; after which ALLOW
grass to grow only in case good snnu
al or biennial top dressing Of manur
can be given
Is As the roots of growing trees ar
as long as their height avoid the mis-
take of spading or maEuring narrow Gil
cies around the foot Of the stem, bu

More than two thirds of our sick folks are
treated by ignorant and unskillful ply

recuperative power Of nature much
larger proportion would be hurried prema-

GUS treatment. People are mostly them

for dyspepsia and indigestion the doctor
prescribes q cathnrto pill, for an acidu-

IMMINENT, for sleeplessness some narcotic,
for skin diseases some external ointment,
and 80 might erroneous treatment be emu
merated to greater length, but enough it is

porary relief without hope or expectation of
any permanent good. Now nine times out Of
ten dyspepsia, weak stomach, aches, pains,
sleeplessness, nervousness, skin diseases,

circulation and blood impurity, and the use
of that scientific remedy invented by the
eminent DR.. John Bull, of Louisville, KY,
would effect q permanent cure. 1t is called
DR.. Bulls Sarsaparilla. Demand it of your
druggist. Take no other.

The burden of Taxation.

1t is estimated that the annual pro-
duction of the farms of Tennessee are
equal to thirty per cent of their value.
II this be true, then the farms Of the
State pay taxes equal to about five per
cent of the value of their annual prod
ucts. Now If our corporations are will
ing to stand along with our farmers in
bearing the burdens of taxation, we sug-
gest to the Legislature, as means of
avoiding all possibility of double taxa
ton, that it pass an act taxing all cor
porations five per cent. Of the gross
earnings of their business in the State
of Tennessee. What will our corpora
tons say to that? -Clarksville Demo-
