Methods OF Making tho Crooked Grow
Straight.
Many fruit trees as they come from
the nursery have crooked trunks,
and IL these are not made straight
they are liable to grow into deformed
trees. The proper time for doing this
work is when the trees have been trans
planted, but it is too often neglected,
yet crooked trees not more than two
inches in diameter set in the orchard
may be greatly improved. If the trunk
simply leans to one side in gradual
curve drive strong stake into the
ground about twenty indhes from the
tree; connect the top of this with the
tree near the branches, drawing the
tree so that it will occupy an upright
position, as indicated by the dotted
lines (U in figure shown. A band Of
wire, leather or cloth can be used, but
the place where it comes in contact with
the tree should be padded with cloth or
twist of hay to prevent injury to the
bark. When bad crook occurs along
the trunk, as shown in the middle
figure. instead of using two stakes
simply follow tho plan shown at the
left-hand figure. A strip of seasoned
wood about one inch square or large
enough not to bend readily and long

open examinations are held for the
posts known as student interpreters.
These examinations, which are held at
irregular intervals attract large num-
ber of competitors. The limits OF age
are from eighteen to twenty-four. The
obligatory branches are all English. but
the optional subjects include Euclid,
geography, criminal law, mercantile
law and three languages. The salary
allowed student interpreter is 1000
year, yet there are so many candidates
at each examination that the tests are
becoming more severe each year.
1.-The Consular stats at Chinese ports
include the Consul-General at Shanghai
at $4,000 a year, eighteen Consuls at
smaller ports. three Vice. Consuls, nine as
sistants and sixteen studentinterpreters
There are four Consuls, one Vice-Consul,
six assistants and three student inter-
prefers at the Japanese ports. In the
ports of Siam staff of six people is
employed.
"From time to time competitive eX-
aminations are held for posts of student
interpreters in the consular services of
Persia, Turkey and the Levant. To
pass this examination an extensive
knowledge of foreign languages is neces-
sary. The successful ones report at
Constantinople, where they are under
the orders of the British Ambassador.
Besides the Turkish and Greek Ian
guages the students are obliged to learn
Arabic, Persian or Armenian, according
to the countries to which they are sent.
The salary is $1,000 year. After leav-
ing Constantinople the students are elig-
ible for employment as interpreters in
the East as fast as vacancies occur.
This life appeals TO special class OF
young men, and each year the service
attracts hundreds of the brightest young
fellows from the English schools.

CABS AND CAB-MEN.
An Industry Which Gives Employment Il
Many Thousands OF Londoners.

An Industry Which Gives Employment to
Many Thousands OF Londoners.
The fast times in which we live hardly
remember that cabs" especially ham
som cabs, are almost modern inven-
tion, and that but little while ago the
London which is now served by about
II, 900 hackney carriages was destitute
OF any at all. IL is true that the history
Of public carriages goes back very
long way into tho remote distance. For
instance, carriages of kind were to be
hired in Rome under the Emperors. The
word "carriage" is probably to be traced
to the Latin corrucd. During the Mid
die Ages, however, they ceased to be
used, for in consequence Of feudal GUS
toms and feudal authority they were
prohibited as being likely to enervate
men and render them unfit for military
service. Such a fear suggests kind of
parallel between the old and new ways
of training athletes.
The renascence of public carriages
may be dated from the reign of Louis
XIV, and was due at that time to q cer-
tain Nicolas Savage who, living at the
sign of st. Ffacre in the Rue st. Martin.
gave the name of his dwelling to the
modern French fdcp. Oddly enough as
it may seem, hackney coaches were first
established in London in 1925 by re-
tired sea captain named Bailey, who
was man of ingenious mind and enter
prising. His vehicles used to stand at
the MAY Pole" in the Strand, and
numbered no more than four. But they
were found so convenient, and were so
patronized, that they grew rapidly. In
1887 there were so; in 1852, 200; in 1854,
800. From time to time regulations
were made limiting their numbers; but
as the French Kings could not stay the
growth of Paris, and as Mrs. Partington
failed with the Atlantic, the tide of
hackney carriages was not to be him
continued to flow.
Yet, in spite of the rapid Increase in
the number of these coaches. there was
for long time little improvement in
their form. 1t was not until 1890 that
the French "cabriolet de place." whence
comes our abbreviated and familiar
cab" was introduced into England
from the other side of the Channel. In
shape it was kind Of hooded gig, and
allowed no more than one passenger, as
the driver sat inside. But change was
coming. In 1884 the gondola of London,
the hanson cab, was patented by Han.
som, and by its great superiority it came
rapidly to the front.
In 1883 there were 1896 hansoms and
4,013 "growlers," or four-wheelers, tech.
nically described by the police as clar.
ences, and year by year they continue to
increase. se.-MurraY's Magazine.

Scraping On the Bark OF Old Fruit Trees.
A correspondent writes from Vest
field, ILL.,, of the success he has had in
renewing the growth of his old fruit
trees by scraping off all the old bark
from their trunks. from the branches
to the ground. He went to work June
81, 1880, and scraped the bark from his
,eckel pear and apple trees, which
were not growing thriftily, did not dis
turb the green, living bark at all. The
result has been that they made new
start and have produced fine crops Of
fruit since, and he did not lose a single
tree by the process. We know that a
similar plan TO this has been employed
to some extont in France to renew
the life Of old elm trees, and to destroy
the eggs of insects which were lodged

Uneasiness in China.

We learn from Pekin that there is
a feeling there of great uneasiness
as to the stability of things in China.
The Young Emperor and Empress
are believed to be unlucky, as there
has been nothing but disaster since
their accession. There is no loyalty
in China, in our sense of the word,
and there are great fears that trou-
bles will arise from the general dis
tress inevitable this winter; and that
if there were any man of eminence
who saw any advantage to be gained
from raising a rebellion, it would go
hard with the present dynasty. The
misfortunes that have happened
since the present Emperor's access
ion have revived the discomfort that
was felt at the irregularity of his
succession. which found its express
ion at the time as will be remem-
bered, in the suicide of one of the
Censors. We would earnestly echo
the remarks of our Newchwang cor
respondent, and impress upon the
naval authorities that no treaty port
in the Empire ought to be left with
out a man-of-wsr this winter. There
is no special antipathy to foreigners;
but their safety may easily be IN
volved in some tumult that has arisen
from causes entirely uncOnnected
with their presence.-N. Z. Daily

WHAT WE ARE COMING TO.

People of d speculative turn of mind
may we'll ask themselves what is to be
done with SO enormous a population?
How are they to be supported? and
many other questions that, although
purely speculative now, many assume
vital importance before the close of the
next century. The total area of the
United States, including Alaska, is
$3.50, 242 square miles, or 1921 1854 $50
acres. This area necessarily includes
the lakes, rivers, and uninhabitable
mountains and deserts, yet we find that
there will be an average of more than
two and one-half persons to each acre of
our total area when the enumerators
enter upon their duties 100 years hence.
The exact figures are 1884.
According to Mr.. Loomis, the ratio of
increase of population by births over
deaths, although much less than it was
a century since, is at present POI per
cent per annum or 20.1 each ten years.
Accepting, for convenience, the ratio of
decennial increase as 20 per cent, and
casting aside all accretlon from immigra-
ton, we find that in the year 1890 our
total population will be more than Co.,
100000.
Whether these figures are accepted as
reasonably trustworthy or rejected as
gross eXaggeration, the fact still remains
that the natural and inevitable increase
of the population, not alone of our own
country, but of the whole world, presents
problem that may we'll engage the
thoughtful mind Washington Evening
