issue OF a partisan political paper at

does not lend the national banks their

Fruit trees that have been neglected
for . number of years and have grown
scrubby. moss-gPown and half dead,
may often be renovated and made to
bear several good crops. First, all the
dead wood should be removed with the
saw. Then they may be pruned out
somewhat to admit light and air. Next,
the bark should be scraped and all
moss removed, and it might be well to
wash the bark with some alkaline
preparation. If the bark has the ap-
pearance of being hide-bound, . few
longitudinal Sits on the outer bark will
be of service. Last, but by no means
least, the ground should be thoroughly
stirred. The best way to do this is
with . pair Of good horses and a plow.
Do not he afraid If you break off some
large roots, because this will only have
. tendency to start the tree to growing.

WOMAN AND POULTRY.

A woman's qualifications for poultr:

Of demonstration.
Now that there are women gardeners
and florists, who by commcndable in
dustry and business qualities have risen
to eminence in those callings, and while
one Of the most successful bee-keepers
in the country is a woman, we hope to
see others give poultry more attention
than It has hitherto received. Aside
from profit the keeping of fine poultry
for fancy is an elegant pastime very
popular with the English, and we see
no reason why the fashion should not
be adopted here. The mother and
daughterS the children upon the farm.

do this thing Sd easily and SO well
could be induced to undertake. the
agreeable task more generally we are
quite confident they would find intense
pleasure in the pursuit. and we are
sure such . movement among the
wives and daughters of our farmers
would not only render it profitable to
themselves but that poultry interests
in the United States would thus be
greatly advanced. and the results of eff
forts would be in the highest degree
creditable TO lady breeders, who may
now have or should acquire taste for
this pretty employment.
There would be call for women to
get out of doors. which is often want
ing among busy farmers wives, and we
fear this class suffers more from indoor
confinement than do the majority Of
city-bred ladies.

the road surface, and the latter for
keeping the soil water away from the

as hard and smooth as practicable with

This plan secures drainage on both

QUEER FORMS OF INSANITY.

An Old Mans Mania for Perpetrating
Great HOaxes.
Not long ago an old man, looking like
q rich retired merchant or banker,
walked into the Office of one of the
foremost publishing houses of New
York and asked to see the head of the
firm. That gentleman recognized his
caller as man who twenty years ago
had been the junior member of great
Wall street firm. lie also remembered
that the senior member had been one Of
Lincoln's most trusted advisers in finan-
cial matters The ex-banker said:
"You will remember that my partner,
who died about six months ago, was
very prominent during the civil war.
Every one in New York knows that
Lincoln many times sought his counsel
Now. have in my possession papers
and memoranda showing how very
much Lincoln was indebted to him.
This information is of q deeply interest
ing: and, might say of a startling char
acter. / thought, perhaps. we might
make some arrangements to write .
memoir. feel certain that It would
pay, besides being fair tribute to my
friend and throwing much light on his
tory"
The ex-bankcr went on to tell that
he had proof that his partner drew the
original draft of the emancipation proc
lamation, besides doing many other
things of vital importance. The pub
Usher was delighted, and made arrange
ments for q writer to call at the ex-
bankers house on certain day and be-
gin work. The publisher talked with
the ex-banker for an hour or more and
they separated equally well-pleascd.
At the appointed time the writer called
and began to discuss the forthcoming
book. After some time the cx-banker
said:
There is one thing l have not yet
told you, and it is the most important
of all" His voice sank to mysterious
whisper: my partner assassinated Mr..
Lincoln"
NO." said the writer, drawing back
and looking at the ex-banker in an as-
tonished way.
YES" said the ex-banker, ''he killed
him." And then he proceeded to re-
late wild and rambling story. The
writer questioned him and was soon
satisfied that he was stark mad On all
other subjects he was perfectly sane.
On this one of his partners connection
with the Lincoln administration he was
insane.
Instances Of this kind are not uncom-
mon, and yet IL is form Of insanity
that is almost incurable, and is liable
to become dangerous at any time. II
