TIE "SlNKER" HABIT.

ko Hope for Bian After He Has Once
 Acquired 1t.
 The "sinker" habit is dangerous and growing evil. says the New York World. You may have noticed the man with 3 starched flat cap, white jacket and apron baking something like biscuits on steel plate heated by gas jets, in one of the cheap eating places. When YOU go in and order these biscuit-like things, the waiter calls: ''Three out!' That means three sinkers. So they have come to be known as sinkers, or "three out" A cup of surpassing coffee is always ordered at the same time. Nobody ever ate sinlers dry. Some thing must be drunk along with them to soften up the gawmy mass. In the summer time ice water is favorite ac- companying beverage. Ice water and binl1ers form an all-star combination that will make empires rock and reason totter on her throne.
 The walters in the eating places where there are such signs as
 In that day ye shall call me ISHI;
 Ye shall no more call me BAALI,
 when asked about the effect of ''sink- CTS" on the human system say nothing.
 They know better than to talk. But get them outside and they'll tell you that the cigarette habit is as naught to upset the intellect compared with sinkers. The dough is made out of flour, butter, lard, cream of tartar, soda and buttermilk. The dough is shaped into cakes and left to rise in something like a bureau. The cakes are put on the hot steel and baked brown on one sidA Then the man fiips them over on the other side with his fingers and a knife shaped like putty knife.
 When they are Drowned on both sides the victim of the habit tears them apart and sticks piece of butter into their entrails. They are doughy and hot, but they taste good. Half an hour later the reaction begins. The Spartan boy that stole the fox and hid it inside his shirt was rapturously happy com pared with the man who has sinkers under his waistband. The agony IS awful.
 Once there was a man who lost all his money one week playing poker and he had to live on butter cakes and coffee. That was a lesson to him. He always laid aside some money after that so that he wouldn't have to come to such extremities again, no matter how hard his luck might be at cards Sinkers saved him from gamblers doom. The doctors say there is no hope for 8 man after he has once acquired the sinker habit. A drunlzard may stop talSinp r1lm: an opium fiend may quit smoking; even a man who inhales cigar cite smoke may reform-there are cases on record-but the sinker maniac has nothing but padded cell and grave ahead of him.

A WONDERFUL TIMEPIECE.
The Unique Product of Watchmaker's

The Unique Product of 8 Watchmaker's
 skill.
 A wonderful piece of mechanism, con- sisting of watch dial of unique con- struction, has been finished and placed on exhibition by one of the delft fin gered artists belonging to one of the large watch factories at Waltham, Mass. It contains, says the Philadel- phia Press, instead of the usual numer- als, twelve small but distinct silhouette figures, beginning with woman with a very small child in her arms. At one o'clock the little mother and her minia- ture baby are clearly depicted, the in- fant being in Hong clothes" At two o'clock the same figure appears, but the child has perceptibly grown.
 At three o'clock the little mother is still the same, but the baby is in ''short clothes" At four the child again ap- pears, and so on up to eight o'clock, when he goes to school for the first time. At nine he is seen in college gown, standing beside the now elderly mother At ten o'clock the deathbed is brought to view, the young man taking leave of his loved parent. At eleven o'clock he is aged with the snows of many winters. At twelve he makes his final appearance, an old, decrepit speci- men of humanity, praying for the end. During the next twelve hours the same scenes are again enacted. The little machine is a wonder all round.

The Canav Hahit.

The Chicago Confectioner asserts that there are many women in that city who have become as much addicted to the use of candy as some men are to the use of whisky. They cannot pass a confec- tioner's store without dropping in to purchase supply of sweetmeats. There is certainly great danger in the habit of candy eating. The writer some years ago encountered a case in which a young woman was in the habit of con- stunning, every week, two or three pounds of double extra strong pepper- mInt drops. It is unnecessary to say that She had no appetite, and that her stomach was in dreadful state. But 1t was no small task to wean her from the indulgence in sweets.

LIFE IS NO slNECuRE.

It May Re for Some Folks, But Not for
 the English Journeyman.
 The English journeyman has an unat- tractive life, says Reuben Gold Thwaites in an article on ''Village Life in Old England" in the New England Magazine. Starting out to his work, perhaps miles away, at six o'clock in the summer morning, with a heavy basket of tools and food on his shoul- der, he often works until eight absolute Iy breakfastless; then half an hour is allowed him for his cheerless meal of cold tea and bread and fat bacon; at noon he has an hour or less for what dinner he has brought with him; and at five o'clock ends his days task, he sometimes taking light lunch in the middle of the afternoon. As with the farm laborer, rheumatism early seeks him for a victim, and at sixty he is quite apt to be useless old man with ''a crick in his back" burden to him. self and his relatives. Earning at his best and in the height of busy season not to exceed one dollar and twenty five cents a day, with long stretches of either sickness or no work, invariably a large family on his hands, possibly 8 drink habit, which makes every spare penny burn in his pocket, and the cost of provisions not on the whole below that prevalent in America for the same qualities of supplies, he neither accum- ulates savings nor apparently wishes to. Let him endeavor to rise above his fel- lows or furnish more comfortably his little cottage-which the landlords agent keeps so neatly without, but whose interior is apt to be cheerless enough-he would in many communi- ties be scoffed at and summed at the alehouse, as a man too proud for that state of life unto which it hath pleased God to call him. Then, again, the ''union" will receive him when at last his working days are over, and he looks forward with complacency, or shall we say with sullen indifference, to ending his days as pauper. The picture is gloomy enough, but Merry England is filled with such, if you care to look for them.

Seven Thousand Miles of Wheels.

If all the locomotives in the United States were coupled together they would make train of solid iron and steel over 300 miles long Add the passenger cars and we would have soc miles more of wood and iron. This. would give us a gigantic passenge:. train 600 miles in length, counting botIl engines and cars. Should we want f huge mixed train we might add th4 "box, $ fiat" and every other kind of freight car, and our train would then have total length of over 7,000 miles!

Planting Shade Trees.

As most readers must know, the best
time to transplant deciduous trees Is
during the period between the fall of
the leaves in autumn and the bursting
of the buds into leaf in the spring.
In many portions of the United States
there is but little choice as to the par
ticular week or month during the above
interim beyond that of choosing time
when the soil is in good condition. In
winters where the winter is well de-
find and much cold prevails, the plant
ing period is divided into two seasons
fall and spring-and the relative adj
vantages of these seasons are thus
briefly divided by Supt William Saun-
ders in a report on horticultural sub
jects to the Secretary of Agriculture at
Washington:
Other things being favorable fall
planting is preferable to spring plant
ing, and for these reasons: 1t is found
that the best conditions for Fastening
root formation in cuttings of any kind
is to keep the soil into which they are
inserted several degrees warmer than
the atmosphere surrounding them.
This encourages root growth in the
warm soil, and the cooler atmosphere
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1892-12-01

prevents the growth of buds or leaves
until after the roots have been pro-
duced
There are certain periods of the year
when these conditions are naturally
found. During the month of October
the soil from twelve TO sixteen inches
below the surface will average several
degrees warmer than the air four feet
above the surface of the ground in tenn
perate climates. Consequently a tree
planted about Oct. - will Immediately
begin root growth. In the northern
regions where winter begins early and
is long and severe, fall planting will
not be generally so successful as in
more temperate climates.
In spring planting it is well To have
1t done as early rs practicable in March
or as soon as the soil is dry: planting
cannot be done properly when the soil
is wet. At this planting trees should
be pruned back more closely than IS
necessary in the fall
Trees of largest size. such as lindens
Gins. silver naples. etc, should be. ac-
cording to Supt. Saunders. 45 feet apart
The Norway maple and all of similar
growth 35 feet apart, and this last is
quite close enough for any kind of tree
in the street This allows each tree
room for expansion and prevents too
much shade

Winter-KiIling of Wood plants.

There are many reasons for the whole
or partial winter-killing Of wood plants,
that are called hardy or half-hardy,
upon one farm and not upon another,
or upon a piece Of land in one season
and not in another, that are not the
fault either Of the nurSeryman who
grew them or the gardener who set
them, and it might be a puzzle to an
expert to select the exact reason even
when he knew as many of the circum-
stances attending the change as either
of them could tell him. Some Of those
plants are really one-half hardy, and
require protection from severe cold, or
at least from sudden changes, until the
wood has had opportunity to become
thick and harden up so as to protect
the pithy centre. We sometimes hear
people tell of it's being so cold it seems
as if it would freeze the marrow in
their bones, which would be a disas-
trous affair surely, but very little worse
than freezing the pith Of certain trees
and shrubs Others suffer from the
freezing Of the inner layer of bark,
anu OIIlcrS again 1TOLI IIceZLuS OI Tie
tap root at its lower and most tender
extremity, which has not had time to
go down into the warm earth below
the freezing point. All such plants
may need protection for the first two
or three years, unless the winter is
very mild, or other conditions are in
every way favorable, but after that
they are hardy enough to protect them
selves. Other plants that are very
highly MANFRED make a rank growth,
which does not have time to assume
woody character before freezing wealth
er comes on, and it may be supposed
that the frozen sap afterward runs
back to the trunk, or perhaps to the
roots, and conveys a poison or disease
to them. This has some FEASIBILITY
from the fact, or what has been assert
ed to be a fact, that such trees more
frequently die from early fall frost, or
from late spring frosts, after they had

The Thermometer of Health.

To meet each day of life with joy is to
live in the highest condition, mentally,
morally, spiritually. There are two,
and only two, logical causes for meeting
it in any other way-ill health and i'll
hap.
The man or woman most weighted
with the sense Of responsibility for the
burdens of sin and ignorance which so
mar the beauty Of life should greet each
pOrtunity to work for their removal?
TO enjoy living is not selfish or low, or
indicative of animalism. TO seize each
moment as a gift from heaven to be
used to make ones self or some other
mortal worthy Of Immortality should
bring joy in itself. TO use each day as
Il Seed-time for the future, consciously
or unconsciOusly, is a privilege. Having
sOWn new seed today, and cultivated
that soWn in the yesterdays, should not
each day close with an anthem Of
Thanksgiving for life, for intelligence,
for the peculiar gifts that mark each
apart from each?
Joy is not to be gained by seeking. It
comes-the unseen spirit that makes
every pulse to harmonize. But it comes
only to the well-romded life. To the
one who thinks that pain is an evidence
of the approval of God, rather than the
evidence Of a violated law, joy could
never come. 1t is the peculiar gift Of
him who seeks by obedience to produce
harmony not only in himself, but in all
men.
