The distance at which our various fruit
trees should stand in an orchard is subject
yet worth discussion, notwithstanding the
vuluminous teachings of our book and jour-
nails. For old-fashioned, slow orcharding,
where standards in grass are expected to
come into profitable bearing in from twelve
to fifteen years, nothing is better for apples
than the old rule of forty feet each way.

rable experiences are overwhelming In their
suddenness, and this was about % sudden an
occurrence as ever knew. The locomotive
struck the Saratoga amidships and continued
on Its way, literally with flying colors: A
silk dress futtered in peaceful folds about
the smokestack; mass of delicate pink
colored clothing undulated from the brass
rods above the cowcatcher. Back and forth
with the piston bar, and round and round
with the drive wheel, flashed q mansled mass
of drapery and lace trimmed robes de mutt.

pilgrimage down the track after the catas-

on both sides was strewn with feminine rem-
iniscences-for most of them were nothing
more than "reminiscences. The last article
which we tenderly gathered up was small

Beyond us, high in the branches of birch

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Some people were not born to be shot. At
q recent duel between two young men at
Warsaw, both fred and hit, but the bullet of
one was dattened against the cigar case of
the other and the bullet of the other was
turned aside by the pocket knife of his op-
ponent. The seconds decided that the young
men were not born to kill each other and
declared the affair off.
Farming seems to be in bad way in many
parts of this country. The State assessors Of
New York say that there continues to be a
marked depreciation in the value of farm
lands in nearly every county in the State
and the depression of the industry continues
without prospect of Improvements. "Many
assert, )" says the report, "that after paying
expenses they connot realize from their farms
sufficient to pay the interest on mortgsSa>9
and consequently thousands of farms are
falling into the hands of mortgages"
An innovation which will doubtless give
rise to some discussion is that of heating
| mausoleums. Those of the late Emperor
Frederick Of Germany at Potsdam, and of
his father-in-law, the late Prince Consort, at
Windsor, are both being fitted with an elab-
crate system of radiators and steampipes.
This, however, is q fashion which is not like
ly to become popular. For the number of
persons who can afford to maintain steam
engines and boilers for the purpose of
keeping their family tombs warm is neces-
sarily limited.
Prince Bismarck seems to be appreciated
in Franco. The Paris Temps, which alludea
to the ex-chanoellor as the greatest giant Of
modern times" declares that his disappear
ance 'leaves void In Europe that is full OF
uncertainty and trouble; that, too, at time
when the need of his large mind and saga
cious power could least be dispensed with by
Europe" All the other leading French pa
pers pay similar tribute to the wisdom oi
the influence which he has exercised on tht
continent, and point out that no amount o
youthful energy and ability on the part o
Emperor William can supply the place o
the mature and rare experience Of the pilo
whom he has just dropped.

THE WONDERFUL CONGO RIVER.

For our knowledge of the dimen-
sions and navigable lengths of the
Congo, the largest, and, next to the
Nile, the longest African river, the
world is indebted almost entirely to
Mr.. Stanley, its discoverer, and the
great Free State within its basin
According to Mr.. Stanley, the Congo
is more than 8 ZOO miles long; and
in size and volume the second river of
the world, the first being presumably
the Amazon. Like the Nile, the
Congo has one stretch of uninterrupt-
ed navigation 900 miles long, be-
tween Stanley Pool and Stanley
Falls. Unfortunately for commerce,
however. this magnificent stretch of
water is separated from the sea by
series of insurmountable cataracts
that compel portage of 235 miles,
or two portages of S5 and so miles
and many transfers. The largest of
all African rivers, and probably the
most valuable from a commercial
point of view, more promptly and
emphatically than any others forbids
the upward progress Of the steamer.

POSTAL CARDS.

The convenient little postal card is
about twenty-five years old, and
Prussia claims the honor of its birth
place.
In 1865 the Prussian postal au-
thorities announced their intention
of issuing correspondence card. on
which brief communica tons, not
under seal or in an inclosure, could
be sent through the mails at greatly
reduced rates. For some reasons
never explained the scheme hung fire,
and was apparently abandoned.
In 1869, Austria took up the idea,
and commenced the manufacture and
sale of correspondence cards." as
they are still called on the European
continent Prussia Immediately fol-
lowed suit, and during the war with
France distributed the cards free to
soldiers, and at a purely nominal
price to soldiers relatives.
American postal cards made their
appearance in May, 1873, since which
time the sale has grown so rapidly
that over 100000, 600 have now
to be manufactured every year. 1t is
not greatly to our credit, however,
that we were about the last of civil
lied nations to add these cards to
our postal facilities

Life Insurance on
Business Principles.

The management of the National Life In
surance Company of Vermont has attained
enviable distinction for its ingenuity in
originating plans of insurance. This COM
pany's policies have always appealed to a
particularly well-informed class of applicants.
In addition to the bonds which it disposes of
in large numbers, it issues option policy
which undoubtedly is of the most deSi-
rable of insurance contracts. 1t is claimed
for it that it provides for any emergency that
may arise.
This is what the company contracts to do,
through the medium of this policy: 1t guar
antees an annual cash value which after a
certain period is in excess of all premiums
paid; it guarantees paid-up policy for such
a the cash value will purchase,
act amount being specified in the contract at
the time of issue, and it guarantees extended
insurance for the full amount of policy for
long time the cash value will pay for.
Incidentally the policy will protect its holder
against adversely in business, and also make
an absolute provision in case of death for
wife, children, parents creditors. In these
days of1ow interest and unsafe investment
teeing that certain amount of money will
be accumulated in a specified time, which the
purchaser can use at any age when he is more
likely to be dependent upon others than
others upon him. Finally, the officers of the
National Life say that under this policy you
know exactly what you have, and if you
need your money more than insurance you
get it. under this policy you have in
vestment, protection, and the use of your
capital"

In the cable office at Duxbury there
areeight operators who work on the
cables themselves, and a similar
number of men who man the Morse
lines over which the cable news is
forwarded to New York In former
times the operators used to sit in a
dark room. A mirror behind the
instrument reflected the dots and
dashes coming from beneath the
armature like sparks. The operator,
as each signal came, announced it in
a loud voice and it was transcribed
by a clerk IN an adjoining light
room.
By the present method the charac-
tiers are registered on tape, and are
Transcribed by the operators them
selves. As each despatch Is received
it is recorded and is then passed over
to the Morse operators, who forward
il to New York. After the dispatches
reach New York they are distributed
and forwarded to their respective
destinations.

who Wa, Lord che..erfleld's son9

To turn to that feature in Lord Chester
fields life which has impressed itself
most strongly on the world at large-his
relations with his son-we find that, for
the last quarter of his life, Lord Chester
field lived almost entirely for his son tthe
issue of liaison with French woman
of the name of Du Bouchet). This young
person is much to be pitied. He is one
of the most eminent victims of parental
ambition, the determination that is, to
make son what you think you would
like him to be, not that he was born to
DO. What Philip Stanhope might have
been, we need not waste our time in
guessing. Nothing very striking, prob
ably. At best he seems to have shown
signs of being an inferior Gibbon; his
father is always telling him that he
spends too much time over his books, 80
that probably he had areal taste for cru
dition. But that was not at all Lord
Chestcrlield'S itlca of man. Tho clois-
tered pcdant, 1.-THE illiberal pedant," is
the object of his unceasing scorn. He
determined that his son should lead tho
same sort Of life that he had led, but be
so much more successful in that he should
have had the advantage of all Lord Ches-
tertield's experience.
Unfortunate ely, the scheme Of educa-
ton which lid devised was far from well
adapted to 9 AIRY out these ideas. AT
its root there was fundamental error.
Lord Chesterfield held theory, of which
he flattered himself he was living ex-
ample, that everything except poetry can
be acquired, and, rs in one place he
thanks God that neither he nor his son
was born to be q poet, for practical pur-
poses he may DO said to have believed
that everything, not merely facts, but
feelings, not only outward habits, but
frames of mind, only waited for vigor-
Gus will to summon them and take pos
session. This was radical error Of his,
but he believed it with all his heart and
soul. 1t is wrong, but nevertheless it
may be 4 highly useful lesson to teach
while the mind is in its acquisitive stage.
Then it may act as q powerful stimulus,
but it II re abused, and Lord Chester
field certainl, abused it.-Temple Bar.

Joking with Sea Gulls.

Sea birds are always interesting OBJ
iects to voyagers. They follow vessel
sometimes all the way across, ever rest
less and untiring. The gulls particular
ly, with their long, swift wings. realize
the highest powers Of endurance and fly
with cese against the severest storms.
Some say that these birds never visit the
earth except to deposit their eggs; other.
wise they live constantly between the sea
and the sky. In fine weather they fly
high in the air, descending with great
rapidity to seize the fishes on the surface
Of the water.
The symmetry and strength OF the
gulls are remarkable, showing how ma
ture has adapted them in every particu.
lar for the purpose of .ong fight. Their
pectoral or breast muscles are one solid
mass of firm, hard muscle, and their
bones are hollow, hav.ug no marrow IN
them. Sleep is not necessary to them,
or, rather, they rest upon their wings
and allow themselves to be Graded by
the breezes, whose violence neither wor.
ries nor frightens them. On the other
hand, they seem to feel fierce delight
in the fury of the storm, which, con.
vulsing the waves, brings up the dead
fishes and nollusks.
Sailors are very fond Of playing OFT g
joke upon the gulls which are always
lowering about the ships. They take
three or four pieces of sail twine about
six feet in length, these are tied together
in the middle, and to the end OF each
small piece of blubber or fat is attached
tightly and then thrown into the sea. a
gull comes along aud swallows one
piece; another then sees there is plenty
to spare and swallows the next; perhaps
q third bird takes possession of another
bat as they are all attached to the sal
yarns, whenever they try to fly away
one or the other is compelled to disgorge
his share, and this is continued TO the
tantalizing suspense of the poor gull:
and the great fun of the passengers ano
sailors.-Ocean.
