then the wound would soon heal
over. l tried that season and pruned
some trees and was pleased to see
how soon the new wood began form
ing over the stumps of limbs taken
off at that time. But l soon found
that the healing over was not the
main object, but the preservation of
wood below and down the body of
the tree, for / noticed that, in few
years after, the stumps Of limbs taxi
en- off at that season of the year had
decayed and often showed signs of
decay some distance below. there
fore concluded that late spring or
early summer was, of all seasons, the
most unfavorable to prune.
1 had noticed that where limbs
were broken off in the fall weight Of
apples, the part below the break gen.
orally remained sound. / therefore
determined to give each season OF the
year a fair trial for pruning. l select
ed a thrifty apple tree about half
grown, which was furnished with a
number of limbs, and cut off limb
about the middle of each month in
the year, leaving a stump of two or
|
three inches long, and labelling it
with the date of the operation. OBJ
served in few years after, that the
stumps of those limbs taken off in
late spring and early summer were
somewhat decayed, while the Others,
and particularly those taken off in
the fall, were sound. A few years
after, l cut the tree down for inspec'
ton, and found that the decay Of
those limbs showed in the body Of
the tree by colored portions approach
ing decay. Therefore l was fully
convinced that the spring of the yea
and early summer was not the time
to take of thrifty limbs of some size
though it might do for small prun
ing or for decaying branches. Any
person who is familiar with the cut
ting Of young timber knows that
sapling cut in the spring of the yea
soon sapr0ts, and the stump also; bu
if cut in the fall will remain sOunt
for sometime, and the wood whel
dressed will have an oily appearance
AS to the time for large pruning
would recommend to commenc
about the middle or latter part {
September. Fruit gathering ma
prevent beginning thus early, but
may be done Immediately after tn
apples are gathering. Another gres
advantage in pruning before tn
leaves have fallen off is that we ca
,, more readily observe those lint
which nature has concluded
throw off and assist her in the opera
] ton.

The Popularity of the Boa.

The boa, a favorite article of apparel,
is more than ever in vogue this year.
Not only is it worn as a finish to fur
trimmed costumes, but as wrap for the
neck at the opera, where 1T is kept on
during the whole evening by many fash
ionable women who prefer the becom-
ing to the conventional. OF course it
is only boas of the handsomest descrip-
ton that can be so treated-soft fluffy
ostrich-feathers, marabout, Russian lib
linette and Russian sable, delicate to
the touch and somber of color, the latter
presenting a striking contrast to the
sheen of silk or brocade, the delicacy of
lace, or the creamy tint of q pair Of
snowy shoulders and the contour of a
beautifully arched white throat. Pure
white ostrich boas are picturesque ad-
dition, but they are not always becom-
ing. N Y. Evening Post.

pRupeERY AND SYSTEM.
The Knack of Doing Work Rapidly and
With the Least Strain.

anu VI OOihE WYNN hhpihly ohN
With the Least Strain.
There are great many women who
are Industrious and who rise virtuously
with the cock, and yet who manage to
accomplish very little in the world orin
their households, while others rise later
and generally seem to take things easy;
yet in the end are found many furlongs
ahead OF their Woodworking sisters.
The persons who accomplish the most
in this world are not the drudges, but
those who have such command over
their powers that they can concentrate
themselves upon their work. Such
persons accomplish by perfect system in
q few moments what an unsystematic
person would labor over for hours. 1t
is the first duty OF every woman to learn
to do her work in the best and most
rapid manner with the least strain on
her own strength. In order to do this
women must be liberal enough to adopt
new methods, when those methods are
manifestly superior to their own. This
does not mean adopting makeshifts, for

such work The worker who is q wise
economist not only Of her money, but
also of her strength, who does not fritz
ter away her abilities in useless ways,
Is usually successful. For some reason
while the speIdthrift of money receives
very little compassion, the individual
who wastes time and strength in hard
continuous labor that profits him very
little receives sympathy whom he should
be condemned. The man who spends
his money foolishly at least gains
some passing pleasure, the other
by misdirected though well-mean-
ing efforts has managed to work
very hard and gain nothing prac-
tically. The problem which presents
itself to all who must earn their living
: is to find some thing they can do which
