PROTECTION For TREES.

A Handy Continuance Sketched for the
Benefit of Fruit-Growers.
The term 'sun sca1d" is applied to the
wounds found on trees on their south OF
southwest sides. This seems to be
more common source of injury to fruit
and forest trees in the Western and
Northern States than in the East OF
South. Such wounds commence by the
discoloration of the bark at some part
exposed to the suns rays, and ends IN
the dying and falling off of the bark. l
have seen scarlet oaks, whose butts were
exposed to the sun, that had the bark
coming off for as much as twenty feet,
or even more, ON their southwest SIDE.
Very many apple trees are thus injured
What the cause is has often been dlsput-
ed, but it is probable that it results
from the action of the sap on the south
side beiug suddenly checked after a
time of warm weather, during which i:
had become very active where the dl-
rect sun rays warmed the trunk.
There are several methods now in use,
and of value to prevent or reduce loss
from this cause. First, inclining the
body and top of the tree to the south
west at an angle of about 60 degrees
with the horizon. By this means the

A Queer Way Of Counting.

In Andalusia, Spanish province, a
singular custom has lately been OBJ
served. When young man there as
pires to the hand of young lady, he
calls for three successive days at her
parents house. at the same hour. The
third day he always brings a cane, and
goes away, leaving it behind him, ap-
parently forgetting it If his suit is re-
garded with favor, the young girl keeps
the cane, and gives it back to him when
he calls the next day. This makes him
her affianced husband. But If, on the
contrary, the young mans suit is not
pleasing to the family, his cane is
thrown out of the window into the
street This is regarded as a delicate
way of telling him that he need not
come again; and the young man, who
has fingered near meanwhile, reads his
own fate in the indignity put upon his
walking stick. Youths Companion.

4 System by Which the Saloon business
Is Increased.
1t is to be hoped the recent report
will prove true that the Chicago
brewers have decided to abandon the
practice of paying for the licenses of
saloon-keepers. The system began in
the strong competition between rival
brewers. In order to increase the sale
of his beer the brcweryman would
find a room in locality which seemed
promising, would supply fixtures and
pay the license and make himself re-
sponsibly for the rent and other run
ming expenses; the nominal proprietor
bound himself to sell only his patrons

Enrland,s First silk Mil.

A portion of the old mill built by John
Lombe at Derby in 171S - the first silk
mill ever erected in England-has col
lapsed, and it is expected that the whole
building will have to come down.
Lombe worked as silk weaver in Italy,
and at the risk ofhis life made drawings
of the machinery. He then returned to
England, bringing some Italian work
men, and built the factory on an island
ia-tbs Derwent, having first patented
the nfachinery. He died soon after

female emissary of the Italian manu-

many years, but has long been in dis
use. 1t was last utilized as steam
laundry, and was condemned some years
since as being safe.-Galignani's Mes

Red Uniforms Attract Bullets.

While military men are insisting that
the red coat of the British soldier and the
red trousers of the French soldier are dan
gerous, because their colors render them
peculiarly liable to be hit, no one seems to
have noticed that black is the most deadly
of colors, while white is the safest This
has been shown over and over again in the
fights which occasionally take place in the
southern states between black and white
citizens. At one of these fights, which
took place in Atlanta, four blacks were
killed and eight wounded, while only two
white men were hit, and neither of the two
was killed.
This shows that black man is six times
as liable to be hit by bullets as is a white
man. So, too, in conflicts between red
men and white men the former are hit
about twice as often as the latter. 1t is
hence evident that soldiers should be
dressed exclusively in white, and that the
Austrians made mistake in abandoning
their famous white coats.-Paris Herald.

The lower hills of the Himalayas are COW
cred with tea plantations. The plants look
not unlike well trimmed lockwood hedges,
and they rise in terraces up the sides of
the hills. Here and there you may see a
gayly dressed woman picking their leaves,
and now and then a low shed in which the
firing is DONE The seeds are sown in
nurseries in December and January and
they are transplanted between April and
July.
The ground has to be well drained, and
am told that the best tea soil is virgin for
est land, which in India is very rich. The
plants begin to bear about the third year,
and they are at their best when they are
ten years old. The Indian tea planters get
about five pickings u year, and often
seven. In China and Japan three pickings
is considered good.-Frank G. Carpenters

Conducive to Blindness.

The demand for spectacles, and especial
ly for colored or smoked glasses, is con
stantly on the increase, and unless we are
going to be a race of blind people something
must soon be done to modify the electric
light 1t is too strong for weak eyes, and
the bright glare on white paper is not
good even fof the strongest. The are
lights in the streets are very bad, since
they cause constant expansion and con-
traction of the pupil in the effort to adjust
itself to the varying shades of light, but
the house lamps are not much better, and
many persons complain OF their eyes who
do not know what ais them. A tinted
glass used in the globes of the house lamps
would relieve the eye very much. Any
tint would answer the purpose-red, vel
low or blue, the tint being just enough
to take off the sharp glitter of the light
and ease the eye.-St. Louis Globe Demo-

Chill river winds that moaning sigh
And sob through willows as they swayi
The somber shadows interlace

Beneath a shower OF scattered leaves.
Now autumn reigns within the soul
Fair human flowers death wraps in gloomf
While vanished hopes of years now told
Like russell leaves drift DER their tomb.

And voices of departed days
