ing hts representing distant nnrseti es.
Our seal nurserymen will sell, at much less
price the fruit trees demonstrated TO be
well adapted to our climate and soil, and
furnish the trees true to name, which can
not always be said Of distant nurserymen
When we come to think Of it. there is no
reason why our local nurserymen cannot
supply exactly the same that distant nurse.
rymen do. excepting, possibly, some very
new varieties, which have Just been
brought out and are yet comparatively un-
tried.
The tllk about "winter hardened,n
'frost proof Insect proof" "blight
proof" and free from disease - is so much
froth given in approved doses to the unwa-
~ purchaser, and is as applicable TO home
grown nursery stock as it is to that pro-
duced in the distance. II the farmers really
wish the latest varieties for trial, the best
wav TO secure trees is, to order direct from
the nursery men, as the agents require
purchasers to sign contract to accept
other trees, should the ones ordered not be
in stock.
NV advice to farmers is to buy their fruit
trees from home nurserymen. They are
more reliable.

Styles In Stationery.

Highly-colored stationery, with rag
ged edges and famboyant crests, is very
bad form. Gilt-edged paper, or that
which is stamped with birds or flowers
in one corner, is hopelessly vulgar. The
most coraect note paper is that which
folds once and slips in square envel-
ope. Milk. cream aud faint shades Of
blue are the only tints allowed by fash
ion and regnement. Chocolate, pink,
green aud yellow are decidedly tabooed.
The square correspondence card is no
longer in usage, and nothing is more
vulgar than TO use a calling card for a
note. Unruled paper is always selected,
aud the texture may be as thick as your
purse permits. Monograms are allowa-
Bile, but Of crestS one should be wary,
as they are prone to provoke smiles
whenever ones grandfather is remem-
bered. If you seal your letters use
scarlet, dark blue or green wax in pref
erence to the lighter colors.- Rose

The Fruit Tree Agent.

The nursery agent is abroad in the land.
He called upon US the other day, and pour
&c into our ears mis- complaint about the
poor fruit of this country, and gave US a
glowing description, well illustrated with
fine cuts OF choice fruits found 10 possess
superior qualities in northern New York,
Canada, and Massachusetts He led US to
infer that nothing but perfect fruits grow
ing in those sections. In fact, his book OF
Illustrations prove beyond the shadow OF a
doubt that the choicest fruits do grow there
and hence il we gave him an order we were
sure 10 make strike.
after he had emphasized the meanness
of our fruit sufficiently TO suit his pur-
poses, we modestlY called his attention to
the fact that almost all of this mean fruit,
which be was denOuncing so vigorously,
had been bought at excessively high prices
from agents like himself, with fine pic
lures representing these distant nurseries
and their fruit trees. and that we our
selves had spent over 81 500 upon such so
called improved fruit, and had failed in
most cases 20 secure as choice fruit as we
had obtained from our local nurseries The
truth Of the matter Is that nursery
men in or near West Virginia
supply better quality Of fruit
than is generally supplied By these travel

The Result of a Dream.

Before Watts, the discoverer of
the present mode of making shot
had notable dream, induced by
overindulgence in stimulents, the
manufacture of shot was slow,
laborious and, consequently, costly
process. Great bars of lead had to
be pounded into sheets of a thick
ness nearly equal to the diameter
of the shot desired. These sheets
had then to be cut into little cubes,
placed in a revolving barrel, and
there rolled until, by constant
friction, the edges wore off from
the little cubes and they became
spheroids.
Watts had often racked his
rain trying to discover some bet
tea and less costly scheme, but in
vain. Finally, after spending an
evening with some boon COM
panions at an alehouse, he went
home, went to bed and soon fell
sleep. His slumbers, however,
were disturbed by unwelcome
dreams, in one of which he was
out with the "boys," and as they
were stumbling home it began to
rain shot-beautiful globules of
lpolished, sdining lead-in such

numbers that he and his com
panions had to seek shelter.

F. In the morning Watts remem
bered his curious dream and il
obtruded itself on his mind all
day. He began to wonder what
shape molten lead would assume
in falling through the air, and
finally, to set his mind at rest, he
ascended to the top of the steeple
of the church of st. Maryat Rad
cliffe. and dropped slowly and
regularly a ladleful of molten lead
into the moat below. Descending,
he took from the bottom Of the
shallow pool several, bandsful of
most perfect shot he had ever seen.

this exploit emanated the idea. of

A RIGHTEOUS DECISION.
The N. Y. Supreme Court Lays
Down the Law as TO Bicycles.

The law of the road as to bicy-
cles is declared in an interesting
opinion recently delivered atthe
general term of the supreme court
of New Yo-k. A bicycle rider was
passing. a driveway in Washington
park, Albany, going at the rate of
three miles an hour, when he met
"a man driving a buggy and going
| at the rate of Elk miles an hour.
The bicycle rider kept at the
extreme right of the road close to
1.-The margin, but the driver ofthe
buggy did not turn to the righ4, as
required by the law Of the road,
and ran into the bicycle, causing
injury to the rider. The rider of
the biccle brought suit against the
driver of the buggy, and the gen.
eral term has sustained the verdict
which he obtained fol- the injuries
done to him.. The defendant, the
driver of the buggy, endeayored to
escape responsibility on the plea
that the plaintiff might have
escaped injury by turning to the
left when he saw that the buggy
was about to strike him. Judge
Putnam says that the defendant
need only have turned his buggy a
foot or two to one side to have
avoided the collision. The bicycle
rider. being on the right side of
the road, was justified up to the
last moment in believing that the
defendant would obey the law
and turn to the right; and the last
moment it was not negligence on
his part not to turn to the left,
because the buggy driver might at
the same moment have turned to
right and a collision thus have
occurred for which the bicycle rider
would have been responsible The
rule is thus established that if the
bicycle rider keeps as far as possi-
Bile to the right of the road, he is
not legally required to take other
extraordinary means of escaping
from collision with a rapidly
approaching vehicle, the driver of
which might easily turn to the
right and avoid danger s~ssss a.

What the Eyes Denote.

One can always trust the gray,
full orb that looks clearly out
from under lashes long and
straight. The gray eye with curling
lashes is certain sign of a frivolous
nature, while a small oval brown
optic, fecks of contrasting color
near the pupil, indicates a aIhigly
nervous temperament with literary
tendencies. This eye is always
overshadowed by sadness when in
repose, and is such a one as many
poets and painter have possessed.
Large, liquid black eyes denote
a sympathetic nature easily moved
but with no great depth of feeling.
Eyes of whatever hue, if set close
together, tell to the world that
their owner is not to be truste.
Beware the shifting gance-it
threatens danger. A full, dark
blue eye is the very tye of honest
intention and resolute purpose
yet a light, watery one betrays a
weak vacillating nature, easily
influenced for good or evil but
more often tending toward the
the latter rather than the former
course. The eye of keen perception
and rare ability is the deep brown
with no mellowness but look
onits surface as of high polish.
This eyes you through and is the
index of a nature calculating, cold
and hard in business dealing, yet
stanch and true in its friendships.

workings of a colliery, to and
from the foo of the shift, had to
be brought up owing to the
flooding of the mine on account of
fire. The mules in all that time
had seen no light stronger than
the flicker of the little Davy lamps
the miners carried. The sun was
in the zenith when they reached
the surface, and the atmosphere
was as clear as crystal.
"The astonished creatures
closed their eyes to shut out the
flood of strong light, and kept
them rigtly closed while they
wero driven to a pasture at mile
distant and tururd loose. There
they stood, trembling as if afraid
something evilwas about to befall
them. Presently they half opened
their eyes and peeped around in
actual open-mouthed amazement.
1t was clear that they couldn't
understand it. When they became
accustomed to the sunlight they
elevated their heads and slowly
swept PLANES mountains, sky,
and horizon again and again.
Toward sundown they broke into
a chorus of joyous brays, the like
of which was never heard from
mules before.
CATER quarter of an hour OF
thatmusic they took to kicking,
jumping, whirling about like
tee-totums and rolling on the sod
as though they had gone mad,
For four days they spent their
time staring at the new sights Of
field and sky, refusing food and
water, not even nibbling at the
grass and not as much as blinking
an eye in sleep. After they had
looked enough their appetite and
thirst returned and they became
common, everyday mules, but
while they were sky gazing hund
reds of people went to see their
didos."
