MARRIED..

At Copeland's Studio.
Arizona republican., 1892-09-22

One by one the historic buildings of
France are disappearing. The last Of a
famous royal palace was seen recently
when the materials of the ruined Cha
teau of st. Cloud were sold by auction
For nearly three centuries this palace
has been linked intimately with French
history, since Cardinal Mazarin built
the stately chateau ON the site of the
small house where Henri III was assas
sinated by the fanatical monk, Jacques
Clement. The various Dukes of Orleans
lived there until 1882, when the chateau
became Marie Antoinette's residence.
At st. Cloud Napoleon the Great was
nominated first consul after he had dis
solved the council of five hundred in the
Orangery; there Charles X signed the
ordinances which produced the July
revolution aud cost him his throne, and
there the third Napoleon and his en-
press held their court and the boy prince
imperial built his toy railway in the gar
dens. The palace met its fate from a
shell in the Franco-Prussian war, and
now, after twenty-five years ruin, even
the fragments are to disappear within
the next four months. A Paris builder
bought the ruins for $685., the state re-
serving the right To any coins or jewelry
found during the removal.

Crown Grating.

Mr.. A. w. Pearson communicates to
Garden and Forest an account of his ex-
perience in setting gratis in circle
around the rim of bearing trees, which
shows the advantages sometimes attend
ing this method of grating Some years
ago he sawed off the trunk of Sheldon
pear tree below its branches, four inches
in diameter. Sixteen crown gratis were
set around the circumference. 1t thus
made a new head, and already bears
pears. This large number of gratis was,
however, intended as an experiment,
the number to bo subsequently reduced
by cutting out part. Another tree, at
tackled with fire blight, was sawed off
near the ground when it was six inches
in diameter, and the stump was crown
grated Only two of the gratis were
allowed to remain, and they are now
twelve feet high and have borne crop
of pears. Mr.. Pearson uses q liquid
grating wax for covering the wounds,
made of rosin, beeswax and inseed oil,
tempered SC as to be solid when cold,
and when used warmed in portable
furnace till liquid and applied with a
brush.
