suppors.ng and eu.ralng Trees.

A tree when transplanted has lost
the firm hold it bad upon the ground
by means of it's roots and needs sup
port il an erect position until it has
regained its hold. Unless such sup
port is provided the movement of
the tree by the wind tends to pre-
vent the roots from taking hold and
may result in the loss of the tree If
it does live it will be likely to lose its
erect position and lean more or less
according to circumstances. How
great the difference between an erect
tree and one that leansi When a
tree has had support for several
years and has become well rooted
and the shaft has increased in size
and strength support is no longer
needed. The tree is able to support
itself, and fit needs a guard it can
support that also.

Patriotic Expression.
From the Washington News


The reintesment of Jefferson Davis
remains at Richmond, and the popu-
lar demonstration occasioned there
by in the South, will afford Radical
politicians of the Chandler and Tan
ner type one of their few remaining
chances for loading up their old
cracked sectional gun and blazing
away with it, with mere risk to
themselves than to anybody else.
There is nothing to be gained by
the Republicans by misunderstood
ing or misrepresepting the South.
The Southerners would be less than
human it they did not cherish an
affectionate remembrance of the
''lost cause" for which they risked
and endured SO much. That is mere
ly natural sentiment, and in point
OF fact they are no longer inimicai to
the Union They accept the result,
and most of them are satisfied
with it
Shoulder to shoulder, the veterans
of both armies now march out to the
historic fields, view the scenes OF
their former deadly strife, erect
memorials, and fight their battles
over in friendly "Reminiscences. Poll
ticians may scheme, and cranks may
rave, but the people of the two sec
tions are now truly patriotic and
united.

a Tree support Suggested.

A joist eight feet long and four
inches square divided into two sec
lions, one two and one half feet long
to go into the ground, the other five
and one half feet to remain above
ground, makes a good suppor5 for a
young tree. The sectiOpSove
ground may have a~shaped
piece taken of. - eiGes, one side
being untouc~, So that the top will
be three~1nches square. That will
give g tapering form which is grace
III On the section below the ground
on the side which was not changed
above, against which side the tree
will come, a section where the roots
will come may be made wedge shaped
so that it may come up to the shaft
between the roots The whole sur
face may be planed, little taken of
at the corners above ground, and
the whole painted with two cuats,
and the paint well dried before it is
put in the ground. Spruce lis the
most inexpensive timber and it will
last long enough below the ground
if well painted.
When the tree is planted let the
post be set first, and the ground be-
low where the roots will come he well
firmed around the post, then plant
the tree separating certain roots SO
that the trunk OF the tree may come
in contact with the post; the post
should be so set that the side against
which the tree comes is plumb. This
should be carefully attended to.
When the tree is planted the shaft
may be tied to the post in such a
way as to hold it firm and allow it
to grow and not chafe the bark;
some soft material ingeniously APP
piled will accomplish all this. Along
streets the post should be set on the
street side of the tree. This will con
stitute q satisfactory support and
will last as long as required. The
portion above ground may then be
removed. The part below will not
cause any injury. This support
is designed for trees of the ordinary
size set along streets.

REMARKABLE CASE.
The Confession of a Corpse After is
Years.

HE Confession of a Corpse After is
Years.
From the Atlanta Constitution
Fifteen years agoIt was announced
that John W. Hillmon, of Kansas,
had been accidentally shot and killed
by his partner, John III. Brown.
The corpse was duly buried and
the widows natural sadness was
shared by several east. IN insurance
companies in which Hillmon's life
was insured for $4,000.
The policies had been taken out by
one Levi Baldwin, a cousin of Hill
mons wife. Now, Baldwin was a
bankrupt, and the companies at
once suspected something wrong, as
Hiilmon was also poor man, and
the two were not able to pay the
premiums for any length of time. So
the body was exhumed and reputa
BILE witnesses testified that it was not
Hillmon's. The companies decided
to fight the case in the courts, and
for fifteen years the suit has dragged
along.
Brown finally confessed that Hill
mon shot man named Joe Berkley,
dressed him in his clothes, and then
disappeared, telling his partner that
he would hide out until the money
was paid on his policies. After this
confession Berkley turned up, and it
was discovered that the dead man
was named Walters.
In the meantime Mrs Hillmon
married again. This made the com
panies despair of ever finding Hill
mon, but they kept up their search
and few days ago traced him to
the Pacific coast. He looked very
we'll Tor a corpse of fifteen years
standing, and glibly declared that
Brown was the murderer of Walters
The insurance men have spent
about $40, 900 in the case. but they
will win at last, unless it should turr
out that the alleged Hillmon is an
other man. The case has gone
against the companies, but on tn,
new trial they expect to come out al
right. OF all the great insuranc,
romances ever made public this cas'
is probably the most sensational
Its final outcome will be watched fo
