Orchard and Fruit Garden.


 mulch ofmanure (that from cattleis the best may still be applied to trees that are fruiting heavily, with benefit to the fruit and leaving the tree in better heart at the end of the season. A stuntea, half starved tree is poor subject to endure great ex- tremes of climate. But we must bear in mind that the manure should be applied at once. If we delay until the seasons growth has matured it may stimulate late growth that would not have time to ripen up, and disaster would be sure to follow. Late broods of the tent caterpillar may still be found in the trees, and should be destroyed. Washing the trunks of orchard trees with strong soap studs is very benefi- cial. It cleanses the bark from dust and moss, destroys the eggs of the borer, and other insects, and leave the trees less liable to injury from sun-scald.
 Raspberries are now in full bearing, and it would be we'll to pick them every alter nate day or some of the crop will be lost Where grown for market they carry much better if picked and sold in pint boxes one half the depth of quarts. Remove all weeds and useless shoot from about the currant bushes, and keep the blackberries we'll hood or mulched.
 He who has planted trees has done we'll, but he who has watched them, made them live and get good start in their early growth has done better. Take time to look over the orchard and shrubbery; pinch in any vigorous branch that is leading too far ahead of the main top, and remove suck CTS and water sprouts from about the roots. If any light pruning is necessary it may be done with most safety about the last of June or first of July; but do it with moder- ation, remembering that, although wounds made now will heal quickly, the removing of any considerable amount of foliage when the tree is making vigorous growth tends to weaken the roots.
 The semi starvation of the orchard and fruit garden is one of the prime causes of failure. We should not let the grass and weeds impoverish the soil. If already poor the scrspings of the milk-ysrd are an e1- cellent restorer of fertility. Loosening the surface soil frequently with a hoe or rake is beneficial. Loose surface soil acts as mulch and absorbent of plant food Whenever it seems necessary to water new ly set trees or plants do it thoroughly, SO the water will reach all the roots: a light surface watering often does more injury than good. From this time on, occasion ally look over the trees that have been top grAfted, and rub off sprouts that have started below the graft, while young and tender; it will save severe and more labor ious pruning in the future.

HUMAN NATURE AGAIN.

It is just possible that when the schemers of the Farmers alliance seem about to work the same greed and sharp management that characterize people who are not farmers may make trouble. In deed, it has already appeared. It is re- lated that several of the alliance leaders in Minnesota have feeced their confding followers in the matter of binding twine, The story is that the members of the alli- ance were supplied through their organiza- ton with binding twine and implements at reduced prices. They were to get the greatest reduction on binding twine, and so they did. But they got a re- duction in quality as well as in price. The alliance officials who did the pur- chasing, bought cheap sisal twine and had it colored in imitation of pure man fila, which is the best twine for the pur- pose. This doctored twine they branded as manila, and as that they sold it, mak- ing, it is said, $500 by the operation. The "honest farmers" who worked this little game were not much better than the wicked middlemen in the opinion of the victims, who are extremely indignant. It is stated as probability that the resulting storm will sweep away the whole fabric of the alliance in Minnesota.
 If the farmers can't trust their own their plight is indeed a sad one. They might as we'll be swindled by one set of spectators as another.

THE RACKABOAR.
A Remarkable Animal, and, oI
 Course, Chicago Has One.


 Lincoln Park has 0 new curiosity. We regard it as the most remarkable specimen of animal life in the geological quarters. It is a rackaboar, the gift of Edward G. Mason, the historian, who, at a great ex- pense, has brought the rare and strange creature from Egypt and presented it to our North Side Park.
 This curious beast was captured in the wild mountainous country about 400 miles above Cairo and short distance back from the Nile. It has somewhat the appearance of goat, except that its fleece is very cur ly and of bIuish- black color, and its neck is of extraordinary lenght. Its eyes are su- prisingly large and beautiful, and its small head is surmountsd by two slender cork screw horns, perhaps four inches in length. The rackaboar lives altogether upon the shelf mountains of its native district. These mountains are composed, as their name indicates, of a mighty series of rocky shelves or steps, of so regular formation that ono might fancy that these same shelves or steps had been hewed out by ar tisans instead of being simply beautiful caprice of nature. Upon these shelves or steps does the rackaboar abide, subsisting on the hardy herbage there abounding, and, to enable it to move swiftly and securely over this unusual surface; nature has pro
 
 longer legs, thus enabling the rackaboar to career at full speed upon the rocky shelves. The legs upon the right side of the beast are from three to seven inches longer than those on the left side, consequently the rackaboar pursues his way easily, graceful ly, and swiftly, one set of feet resting on @ lower shelf of the mountain and the other resting on the superadjacent shelf. When pursued by lions, jackals, hyenas, or other foes, the rackaboar easily escapes, for be is exceedingly fleet, and has this advantage, viz, that, whereas he is formed to run upon a side hill, the others are not, and so he quickly vsnishes and his advsr- saries, footsore and embarrassed, desist from the chase. When, as frequently hap pens, beasts of prey come face to face with this harmless creature, the rackaboar in stinctively doubles its long neck back un- der it's belly, thrusts its head up between its hind legs, and, thus reversed, makes good its flight in the opposite direction. The only way whereby the rackabaor can be captured is to station bands of hunters both before and behind it, and then the beast may be taken with lassos.
 Barnum once had a rackaboar in his menagerie, but the poor creature soon died | of a surfeit of peanuts and popcorn fed to him by children when the keeper was not looking. This specimen which MT. Mason | has denoted to Lincoln Park is the second which has been taken out of Egypt. Heis now provided with quarters near the avis- ", and seems to be contented enough on the rough pile of stones steps hastily con | structed for his accommodation.
 | MT. Edbrooke, the architect, says that rackaboars used to abound in the Rocky Mountains when he first went to Colorado,

Science for the Adipose.


 A well-known Detroit man is somewhat larger in the girth than the lines of beauty and the rules of perfect physique call for. On one of the recent hot days he met a girl from that town, and, after flaming himself till his arm was black and blue, he said:
 'I don't see why get so hot. Other peo- pie don't seem to suffer ss do"
 ''Well," !" she replied. ''it is very simple, indeed; fat men"
 'I beg your pardon" he said haughti- ly.

If the body is not movable with relation to some larger body this force of gravity becomes that form of molecular motion which We call heat.

money. In 1879 he got judgment for s1O, . 900. The case was taken to the Court of Appeals, where it was untouched for twelve years. Six months ago the decision of the lower court was reversed In the
 recen. retrial Megibben's heirs got judg- ment for $9, 900 and interest. The other side will appeal. Senator Blackburn was one of the Bedford lawyers and Senator Carlisle was on the Megibben side, and each made an argument in the trial just closed.
 According to the last report of the Mas sachusetts board of health, the grip in that State presented some peculiar characteris- tics. It appears that the ratio of persons attacked by the disease in industrial and other establishments employing large num- bers of hands was about 35 5-10 per cent, or less than that of the population at large while that of the inmates of public insti tutions was still less, or some 20 per cent. Again, the ratio of persons who were obliged to leave their work on account of illness from influenza was about 27 per cent. of the whole number employed, the average length of their absence from work being five days. Special occupations do not seem to have had a marked effect in modifying the severity of the epidemic upon opera tives in such occupations; and thus, while the atmosphere may constitute one impor- tant medium of it's communication, human intercourse also suggests itself as an equal ly important factor. The chief diseases which followed in the train of the influenza, and intimately associated with it, were bronchitis and pneumonia.

 "A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches" The witnesses for the defense in libel suit at Montreal testified that so high did the character of the plain tiff stand that it would be impossible to libel him. No one would believe his tra- ducers, and hence his business standing could not suffer. On this ground the jury retured verdict for the defendant.
 There is at least one man in this country who can fairly say that he cannot under stand Woman. A woman at Aurora, Hi nois, who had remained faithful to her lover of forty years ago, whom she was then prevented from marrying by her parents, recently agreed that they should pass their declining days together, and the man came on from Texas to be married. They had kept up correspondence all these years, but the woman tainted dead away whom she saw him and refused to have anything to do with him.
 A recent traveller in Mexico says the natives are unwilling to adopt modern ways, and it is nearly impossible to make them change. An Englishman engaged in mining put up hoisting plant, but found at once that it was money thrown away, as the workmen would not consent to its use. They had long been accustomed to carry the ore in sacks supported by broad canvas band passing over their foreheads, and to receive so much for each sack delivered at the mouth of the shaft. To get it there an ascent of over two hundred feet had to be made by means of ladders, and accordingly progress was very slow. But nothing would induce them to use the hoisting machinery, and it had to be aban- doned, every man working in the old fashion.
