BILE and stately American elm is at the
head of the list, which includes linden,
ash, hard maple and other first-class
trees
No size, even up to three feet in di-

tons of soil and tree are used. Trees

are still growing and have been since
the centennial year of 1876. Last year
the superintendent of Graceland Gene
terry moved two elm trees growing with
in six feet of each other. The larger
was three feet six inches, the smaller
over three feet in diameter. They were
moved nearly half mile in one solid
mass, as they grew; but in this case
they were operated by house-moving
apparatus with windlass and chains.
The trees came out in full leaf and
grew all summer, as if they had never

the business has been carried. To take
an elm of one foot diameter two feet

the native forest, or re-transplant as

occurrence.
How IT IS DONE.-A tree twenty-five
feet high has roots spreading to a
diameter of perhaps fifty feet. This
ramifying mass is not all moved, but
mass of earth, three to six, or even
eight feet in diameter next to the boil
of the tree, as shown in Fig. is moved
solidly. If the nature of the soil will
not otherwise allow it's removal, it is
taken during freezing weather. When
the soil is frozen in a compact mass, the

How to Successfully Combine Healthfal
and Artistic Dressing.

and Artistic Dressing.
In discussing dress in these days,
healthful as we'll as artistic dressing, is
considered. and the woman who can
combine the two is an object of envy, as
well as an object lesson. do you wear
the divided petticoat?" is a common
question. and its use and advocacy grow
more popular every day. So great is tho
demand that our popular dry-goods
houses advertise them largely. They
are manufactured at prices ranging from
s.. so to $40. and even higher. For gen.
eral use. light weight of flannel or cloth
that matches in color the street dress is
the most popular for common use. Every
woman who must walk in inclement
weather should own one. and no woman
using them would ever be without at
least one in her wardrobe.
Dress skirts are as important to fit in
these days as waists, and for that reason
the underskirt needs care in adjustments;
for gracefully hanging skirt it is best
to have long yoke on to which full
Spanish fiOunce is gathered. The yoke
should be made Of wool or cotton, &C
cOrding to the time it is to be worn and

or light weight cloth. White skirts are
no longer advocated for street wear. as
white in the present condition of our
streets and roads remains white but a
short time. Silk, alpaca or cloth can be
readily spOnged and cleaned. Many
ladies wear even with evening dresses
white skirts made of the same materials
trimmed with lace; fewer skirts are nee
essary. and the outer skirt hangs more
easily than over a laundried skirt.
A dress skirt that hangs evenly is a
rare sight. yet perfectly hanging skirt
is Of as much Importance as a perfectly
fitting waist. Harper's Bazaar recently
gave directions that are very valuable
to the home dressmaker: 1.-The founda-
tion skirt for the dresses of stout women
is closely gored on the sides, while tho
front breadth is full and nearly straight,
and is usually made two or three inches
longer than the back breadths. The
English skirt, with slight drapery on
the sides, is well adapted to full figures,
as the drapery can be varied. placing it
below any unbecoming roundness, while
the back has straight full breadths that
prevent too great fairness, and also give
the appearance of height"
To cut skirt of uniform length
where the figure calls for greater length
because of its lack of proportion makes
an evenly hung skirt an impossibility;
and does any thing more completely
! spoil the effect of dress than for tho
! skirt to be too short on the front or
hips? Yet this is common fault,
which following the above directions
will obviatc. -Christian Union.

do by starting a mass of fibrous roots. A
tree prepared in this way may be re-
moved with perfect safety.
PREPARATION OF It's New HOME
Whatever the preparation in its first
situation, the new home of the tree
must not be neglected. Manure is not
wanted, but good, fresh soil is. If this
is not natural to the new location it
must be brought there. If the soil is
sandy, as it generally is near Chicago,
then a good bed of stiff clay is highly
beneficial Immediately below the mass
of earth and roots. This is to proven:
teaching and to hold the moisture where
the roots are Many of the forest trees
near Chicago grow on land which is very
little above water level, and at times
are actually moro or less covered. A
well-planted street tree will have a
space three feet deep, fourteen long and
seven wide of good, fresh soil. with the

started in the direction indicated, but
pulled up again. ''Look here, young

''Who are you?"
"Hexamer himself!' shouted the 9TH
er, grasping his knees and shaking with
laughter. You've been riding with
me all the way out here. and didn't

A burst of laughter went up from the
group. in which the dog joined.
.'Why didn't you tell me in the first
place." cried Lewis, when he found his
voice.
''Why didn't 1? Because you wouldn't
have believed me, you are such an UNI

SWELL, dare say it is very funny

grin at the mirth of the others. ''But
what would like to know is. why you
don't bring out your money and pay me

Hexamer shouted with laughter.
''Here, Dick! here, Dick!' he called, and
a large setter dashed around the house.
''There!" he exclaimed; ''what sort of an
animal do you call that?"

tended curiosity.
':Just poke him with a stick and see.

Lewis. ''He has four legs and tail; but

''You young fraud" cried Hexamer;
''get down off that wagon this instant
and come into the house. l want to show
my wife boy who doesn't know dog

Lewis had dinner before starting on
the return journey. Just before leaving
he gave Hexamer letter that had been
sent out by him from town, which the
latter laid aside unread.
AS the wagon was passing the gate a
voice called from the house: Say, young

The moment the wagon passed out Of
sight of the house the demeanOr of its
young driver changed suddenly. He
seized the whip and drove at great speed
along the road, looking back anxiously
from moment to moment. In this way
he reached small cross lane leading
toward clump of pines. where he
turned in hastily, and hid his wagon un-
der cover Of the trees.
Soon after this was done Hexamer
came galloping rapidly on horseback
down the main road, and passing the
lane, went on toward town. Then Lewis
drove out again and followed leisurely.
laughing as if what had just taken place
was the most comical thing in the world.
He continued laughing until, quar-
ter of an hour later. he met Hexamer
coming back, who also began laughing
as soon as he saw Lewis.
The two approached each other and
met.
'Good-day, SIR said Lewis, with
mock gravity. did you see boy driv-
ing a wagon with a dog in it on your
way to town."
