The Irrigation Of Orchards.

1t has been demonstrated in California
that surface irrigation is not the best
method for orchards. The system is un-
tidy, wasteful and causes an unneces-
sary growth of noxious weeds. It also
stultities the tree growth, causing tho
roots to form in ball near the surface.
An orchard designed for market fruits
should be irrigated by means Of under
ground conduits or cement pipes
These are laid below the freezing
point and made of sufficient dimensions
to carry the requisite quantity of water
within three or four feet of the tree.
Small holes cut in the top of the pires
and covered by boxes to prevent the
holes filling with earth allow the water
to percOlate slowly out from the pipe
and mOisten the soil at the roots of the
tree.
By this method the roots 90 down
ward, giving the tree a firmness to resist
rainstorms and withstand the effects Of
continued dry weather in case the water
supply is temporarily exhausted. This
system may be considered expensive, but
the additional yield of fruit will justify
such expenditure. The field of the future
irrigated fruit market will be large
enough to justify systematic under
ground tiling as well as piping Drain
ages will be more extensively practised
as the market orchards increase, and al
though expensive as it may seem, these
orchards will be valuable dividend pay
ing properties.-IrrigatiOn Age.

] HIanhshni,ihr Was n Trial

George Meik1e Kemp, the architect Of
the Scott monument at Edinburgh, was
o man who raised himself from OBJ
Bcurity by the sheer force of talent and
determination. He had a retiring
nature, and shy and shrinking manner
toward strangers. The habit of hand
shaking created in him an embarrass-
ment and aversion which he could
scarcely control, and one of his friends
gives an amusing description of the
manner in which he accomplished
the deed when it became inevitable.
The two were walking along one of the
streets in Edinburgh in the full flow of
an animated conversation, when Kemp
suddenly became aware of friend ap-
preaching them from the opposite direc-
ton.
Instantly the current of his thought
was arrested, he lost the thread of con-
versation, and then became silent alto
gether. A whimsically troubled express
sion crept over his face, and a nervous
commotion developed itself in his man
ner.
Extraordinary movements began in
his right hand and arm, which he kept
dangling and jerking backward and for
ward in helpless way, as if he had en-
tirely lost control of them. Gradually
the hand appeared to stiffen, and rose,
with the arm, until they were at right
angles with the body.
With powerful effort he shot out his
hand and grasped that of the friend who
had approached, and then, the ordeal
passed, with a sigh of relief, he briskly
resumed his part of the conversation
with the air of a man who has performed
an unpleasant but meritorious action

An Accommodating nnrhcr.

Some of the rural towns i'll New Eng
land do not support "a barber, and hair
cutting is usually done by an accommo-
dating neighbor. A writer recently fell
in with one of these amateur BARRIERS,
and humorously describes his accommo-
dating ways:
Soon l was perched astride of a mo-
lasses hogshead, with a meal bag about
my neck to protect it from the fall Of
hair. might say the possibilities of a
fall from the hogshead were great, as l
squirmed about it to have the light
strike my head right, so the cores would
be even. He was no mean barber, for
he scorned to receive any recOmpense.
| wish all BARRIERS were as charitable.
After our cutting acquaintance l saw
much of the barber One time he was
on the school house steps cutting a
mans hair. Again saw him hard at
work on a mans head in the middle OF
his vegetable patch. The farmer was
leaning against bean pole with his hoe
in his hand, evidently making the most
of his luxurious ease. Anywhere and
everywhere he happened to catch his
man the enterprising barber would
work. was on the shore one day
watching fisherman at his salmon nets
Shortly a small skiff went out from q
neighboring cove. In it was the barber
who rOwed ont to where the fisherman
was and was soon cutting his hair.-Bel

Hindoo Legend of Adam and Eve.

fhe HindOo legend Of Adam and Eve
in substance is as follows;
In the beginning God created Adima,
the first man, and Heva, the first wom-
an, which completed life. He placed
them on the Island of Ceylon and COM
manded them never to quit their place
of abode, but to remain and propagate
their kind. In the course of time i'll
wandering over the island they saw
most beautiful land connected with
theirs by lofty peaks and ragged rocks.
The land beyond was most beauteous to
behold, being covered with stately trees
whose branches hung with fruits Of
every variety. Many colOred birds fit
ted from bough to bough and made a
perfect din of ever changing music.
Adima (note that this is directly oppO-
site to our Biblical account) tempted
and induced Heva to violate the COM
mand of the Creator and accompany
him to the paradise across the rocky
peaks.
When they had crossed the narrow
neck of land which connected their is
land heaven with the mainland, they
heard a loud, cracking noise and looked
around just in time to see the isthmus
break in two and sink beneath the
waters of the ocean. When it was plain
that their way back to their island para
disc had been cut off they turned their
attention to their new home and found
it a land of sand, thorns, rocks and
brambles, its supposed beauty having
been but a mirage raised by Rakokasos,
the spirit of evil, to tempt them to DISC
bedience. For this act they were doomed
to perpetual labor and final death.-St.
Louis Republic.

A plen for the Roadslde Weeds.

The foe of natural grace and beauty
is the road commissioner, whose mistak-
en- zeal is allowed annually to remove
the grass which seeks to soften the dusty
outline of the road along its untrodden
borders and cutters. This is an expen-
sive process and wholly unnecessary,
since adding to the dust capacity of the
street is the only service it accomplishes,
the short, thick turf affOrding no OBJ
struction to carriage wheels. This is
called "cleaning up" the street, when,
as a matter of fact, it only adds to its
dirt.
But a worse phase Of the cleaning up
mania is apparent when the Jealous
commissioner proceeds to remove from
the banks of the highway what he terms
weeds-namely, the graceful mantle of
vegetation with which nature ever
seeks to conceal the wounds which man
has made. 1t is interesting to watch
the process by which the devastations Of
the road cutter are tempered to the eye
by the beautiful natural screen of vines
and herbage, which. if let alone, will
soon cover the rough unsightly place
with drapery of verdure when the
reckless workman has left behind him a
shOrn and barren waste.
After his inroads banks of sand and
gravel are left on each side of the wide
road, from which every spear of grass
has been banished, the fences stand up
stiff and stark, the rocks protrude from
the soil, the trees which cannot be felled
have their lower branches rudely cut
away, so that their trunks are gaunt and
unsightly, stumps are left along the
edges of the fields and the soft turf is
replaced by sandy slopes to be quilted by
the rain.
Without wasting an hour nature be-
gins her gentle but tireless work of
Transforming these ruins into beauty

A New Variety of Cane.

Many new plants have been brought
to light in the recent explorations by
Englishmen, Frenchmen and Germans
in equatorial Africa, but one in particu-
lar has special claim to the attention
of West Indians.
In the Upper Niger region, where
great heat and moisture combine to pro-
duce luxuriance of tropical vegetation,
a giant variety Of sugar cane has been
found, which is described as possessing
great saccharine richness and being re-
produced from seed, which in this variety
is well developed.
This is indeed news to the sugar
planter, and from q botanical point of
view confirms the theory that our pres
ent cultivated varieties are descended
from an original perfectly Towering
and seeding plant, the perpetuation Of
which by cuttings impaired in course of
time the original attributes Of the par
ept variety. The agricultural board
and local planters should take particular
note Of this reported discovery, and so
also should the government botanist.
Such a variety Of cane introduced in the
island would be worth millions of Tus-
ser silkworms, and prove infinitely
more advantageous FOR its prosperity.
And it is to be hoped we shall soon hear
something more of the Niger cane

Dangerous Champagne.

The well known epicurean taste Of
the French people seems to have driven
some Of them to their wits end in order
to satisfy the appetite in an inexpensive
manner. In 1852 a Frenchman invented
and obtained patent on process for
making sparkling wine or champagne
at a price bringing it within the reach
of ali. His process is to take bottle OF
ordinary still wine and pour into 1t a
certain quantity of Dutch bronze
powder,H The waiter then is INSTRUCTED
10 shake the bottle violently before serv-
ing It to the customer, This, the in
ventor says, twill disturb the brilliant
particles Of powder, causing them to cir
culate through the wine, giving 1t the

Wine" Dutch bronze is chemically
known as bimuriate Of stannan, and is

bear both victory and defeat with
less of wailing than Democrats,

be defeated and when defeat comes
on the over-confident it is going to
make them sore. Our Democratic

never have. After more than a

they are still unable to bear their

It's Third Effort.

The Democratic Legislature OF
this state completed last Tuesday
it's third effort to apportion the
state into senatorial and assembly
districts While as whole the
population Is more equally dis
tributed, in many instances the
handiwork Of the gerrymander is
seen, some counties having been
carved up to mako Democratic
majorities, and some senatorial
districts ridiculously shaped for
the same ends. In short there
was brave effort to get all the
law allows. Iowa county is one
assembly district, while this county
is united with Lafayette and part
of Grant for a senatorial district,
which has population of 62,2sG,
and according to the vote of 1888 a
Republican plurality of 884.
