Top Worked Apple Trees.

B. Hathaway, Little Prairie Ronde,
Mich, writes Orange Judd Farmer:
Some time since DR.. D. E. Peck said in
your paper that he sees ''no reason why
grating tender sort on an iron-clad
should make the top less liable to win
terkill." Here, in southwestern
Michigan, it is demonstrated fact that
tender varieties of the apple, grated on
hardy stocks, do stand our test winters
when the same varieties, grown on
their own roots, kill out root and
branch. / have had forty years ex-
perience in nursery and orchard, and
from this experience l can say, and
that most emphatically, that such vari-
cites as the Baldwin, Red Canada and
King, if grown on hardy stocks, are not
merely more certain to stand our test
of winters, but are uniformity more pro-
ductive, come into bearing at an earlier
age, and prove in every respect more
satisfactory, than when grown as root

chard, planted in 1916, not root-graft

ago; while the same sort, on hardy
stocks, are still in fairly good bearing
state. I could say the same of the most
of the leading sorts.

a slight blush she hurried out of the

Napoleon and Civil Law.

During the long and difficult discus
sions in drawing up the Code Napoleon
French journalists and statesmen were
astonished at the familiarity shown by
the Emperor with the principles of
Roman law. He told them, one day,
that when he was a young lieutenant,
he was sent to solitary confinement for
some slight breach of discipline ''The
room had no furniture, only an old
chair and dusty cupboard, in which |
found one ponderous, musty, worm

William Black.

Apropos to William Black, the novel

quoted in the Philadelphia Ledger as
saying: 81 think the best thing about
Black is that success has not turned his
head. He is still the courtly, pleasant
gentleman that he was in the old DAYS
before novel writing had made him
famous and given him an independent
bank account. But he is no longer an
ordinary man; he is courted by the bio

In the shattered room when the sun shone

Or take his breakfast till by and by;

A pillow is good and breakfast will keep
Till 10 O'Clock in the morning.

They waltzed, they sang, they made high tea
And had their accomplishments quickly

FOR it matters not if bachelors sleep,
The maids are awake quite soon in the week,
And sometimes rise in the morning
Three married men jumped when the sun
arose,
And left their pillows in swift dismay
They felt for their boots they grabbed their

And thoroughly realized it was day;
For women will never let men sleep

COIOred DOrking Fowls.

A correspondent Of the Agricultural
Gazette, London, says they are the
largest of the Dorking tribe, fine spec-
mems, reaching from eleven to fourteen
pounds each. In relation to colors and
standard qualities it is held that the
color Of the plumage is not regarded of
the most Importance, and, in the
standard issued by the Poultry Club,
it is stated that, whilst the col
ors given therein are those most accept
ed by judges and fanciers in general, it
is not intended to exclude other shades
or varieties of color from competition.
Size and conformation, with purity of
feet and legs, are regarded as of the
greatest Importance. The head and
neck-hackle of the cock are of greysh
white, or steel-grey, striped with

under part of the body and thighs Z
are black, as are the pri- 4
maries, and the tail and sickle feathers; 4
the back, shoulder covers and saddle Il
are white, with black or steel-grey
markings; and the wing-bow is black

Just beneath this enticing placard
4ncre was glass shelf, on which,
amidst a collection of pipes, tobacco
pouches and amber mouth pieces, lay q
heap of lottery tickets.
At this moment 10 o'clock sounded
from all the clocks in the neighborhood
excepting, of course, those that were
not right-and from the lips of the con-
fectioner escaped a, thoughtful murmur.
"a hundred thousand francs that is
not probable, but it is possible. And if
not hundred thousand, why not ten
Thousand ?"
When any one spoke to Nine Moul-
inier about winning in lotteries she in
variablv remarked:
ooh, yes, | know how to do it; / have
discovered a sure way of making money
in a lottery"
Her unsuspecting nearer would gen
orally inquire:
GLOW do you do, madame ?" and then
Eudoxia would reply, with mocking
smile:
II never buy ticket, and then |
make the franc that it would have cost
me !"
Naturally, her meek spouse had new
er ventured to breach the subject to
ncF, or 10 invest on ms own account.
but now, rendered desperate by his
losses ct dominoes, he began to think
seriously of raising franc without her
permission.
"'1n less than a mouths time my
franc will be increased hundred fold,
perhaps ten thousand fold, or even a
hundred thousand fold" continued
Theophile, with his eyes glistening;
<'my losses at dominoes will be more
than covered without Eudoxia knowing
anything about them"
Without further mental struggle he
walked quickly into the tobacco store.
Here he found Clorinde, the young wom-
an who presided in the absence of
Mime Nalmondois, the proprietor,
seated on a shabby velvet stool behind
the counter She made gesture OF
urprise when she saw him.
Monsieur Theophile Moulinier !"
Flattered at being recognized by the
pretty brunette. the proprietor of the
Bon Ronbon smiled graciously.
''What can give your she asked.

''No, thanks, / want one of those lot
terry tickets, and he pointed to the
Certainly replied the young wom-
an, aud going to the window she
picked up one of the tickets and hand
ed it to him with charming smile, say
ing:

Yes. indeed. I will buy the bracelet
at once, for / can take the money out OF
the drawer, and return it In day or
two. and no one need know anything
about it.
'It would be better for you to wait
until YOU have collected my money
ooh, no; | cannot wait-my tigers
eve will be sold"
'Do as you like then. y
Theophile returned home congratu-
lating himself upon the clever way IN
which he had arranged this matter.
The next morning, when he opened
the store, the first person he saw was
Clorinde, who rushed toward him with
male cheeks and frightened eyes. At
the sight of her Mr. MOullner telt colu
perspiration break out upon his fore
head; Nine Eudoxia was liable to come
down stairs at any minute.
"Have you read the newspapers TINS
morning?' gasped Clorinde.
"No, not yet" he answered; put
what possessed you to come here-sup-
pose my Wife"
"Read that p cried the girl, thrusting
the Petit Rouennais into his hands, ana
with amazed eyes he read:
"There was a slight error In one OF
our dispatches yesterday"
''In the drawing of the Mezldon lot
terv ticket No. 013,02S was given as
having drawn 10000 francs, but the cor
rect number was 103, OPS.
Theophile dropped the paper and
groaned with disappointment, and
Clorinde exclaimed:
81 bought the bracelet yesterday with
money out of the drawer. Give me the
500 francs, for | must put them back be-
fore they are missed.
"Never p said Mr.. Moulinier, cit was
all very we'll when | thought | had won
10 900 but now the bargain is off"
"Ah, sir, if you do not give me the
money my employer will think me a
theft" cried Clorinde, and her dark
eyes filled with tears.
Gin heavens name my good girl, 60
home, and | will see you later-per-
haps we can arrange the matter, but II
madame should come down stairs and
hear us''-
MADAME has come down stairs and
madame has heard you ~ said a shrill,
rasping voice suddenly, and turning
round Theophile saw his Eudoxia in
her dressing gown standing at the foot
of the staircase.

money in lottery tickets she said furi
ously, "and of buying 5oo,franc brace

voice of thunder:

Then, with her eyes dilated with
rage, and her face as red as a peony, she
bore down upon her trembling hus-
band, who recoiled from her in terror.
The next instant she stopped, and with
out further word she sank heavily to
the floor.
1t was stroke of apoplexy, and The
ophile Moulinier was widower

NUMBER O13,O28.
From the French.

Take my Is cents, gentlemen, but [
give you my word of honor that [ shall
never touch a domino again"
So saying, Mr.. Mouliner turned away
with dignified air and walked out of
Cafe du Commerce.
This popular resort was situated-and
probably is stll-on st. Sever Street, in
Rouen. Theophile Moulinier, proprle-
tor of confectionery shop known as
the sign of the Bon Bonbon," was pas
sionatelv fond of the game of dominoes,
and for nearly twenty years had
played regularly with his three friends
Mr.. Rigaudon, the halter; Mr.. Flour
ent, the hosier, and Mr.. Briancois, the
dry-goods merchant. Theophile Moul
inier had been wonderfully lucky for
long time, winning at least II cents at
every game. If he had not been so,
his wife, Nine. Eudoxia Moulinier,
would not have allowed him to indulge
in his favoritc weakness; indeed, she
always insisted that the luxury must
not cost anything, and would occasion
ally remark to him in very severe
tone;
~ want you to remember, Mr.. Moul
inier that the only excuse for gaming is
constant success"
"But, alas, nothing lasts foreverin this
world, and one fine day, or rather, one
sad day, ill-luck laid hold of the con-
fectioner From that time he had to
exert all his ingenuity to conceal from
his acrimonious better half the increas-
ing deficit in his funds, and as he left
the cafe after announcing his intention
of playing no more, he said to himself
anXiously:
Eighty confines That makes more
thon l3 francs that / have lost since the
first of the month, and this is only the
18TH | am afraid | shall have to con-
fess the truth to EudOXia."
The thought of acknowledging his
losses and consequent deception to his
wife made him tremble.
He walked slowly toward his home,
and on the way stopped mechanically
before a large tobacco shop. He had
never been inside, not being a smoker,
but there was something in the window
that attracted his attention. This was a
placard of moderate size stuck on the
inside of the glass pane and bearing
the announcements:

stink-weed and dogs fennel, from its
nauseous smell.
The double camomile is often grown
in beds, for the purpose of plucking the
flowers, which are dried and used to
make camomile teas in case of colds,
etc. 1t is also supposed to be useful in
dyspepsia.
