Setting the Tree.

Set the tree just trifle deeper
than It stood in the nursery, and
have the hole large enough so that
each root can have ample room. Let
each root slope downwards from the
trunk to the sides of the hole. Re-
place the soil carefully and slowly
enough to have it firmly compressed
about every root. In treading the
soil, go around the tree with your
toes pointing directly toward its
stem, and do not put in too much
earth at once. Use no water in set
ting; but, if the ground is very dry,
finish the filling in basin shape, and
saturate the soil we'll with water,
repeating every day or two, until a
good rainfall occurs.

For scalding poultry the water
should be as near the boiling point
as possible, without actually boiling.
The advantage to this is, the outer
skin becomes cooked or set, and so
does not peel off with the feathers
and look ragged. The fowl being
held by the legs, should be immersed
and lift up and down into and out
of the water three or four times,
then, continuing to hold in the same
way with one hand, pluck off the
feathers with the other without a
moments delay after taking out OF
the water. If skillfully haudled, in
this way the feathers and pin-feath-
ers may all be removed without
breaking the skin. Wherever the
skin is broken exposure of the flesh
to the air Injuries it's appearance and
consequently the sale of the poultry.

The Russian Government is said
to have obtained an opportunity of
interfering in Korea. The Russian
Government is encouraging the emf
grafton of Koreans, and 10000 are
said to have left their native land.
The Korean Government is doing
everything possible to prevent an
exodus, and the officials az the boun-
Diary are ordered to stop the people.
Recently ten Koreans revisited their
native land. They were immedi-
ately seized and ordered to suffer
the death penalty. One escaped and
succeeded in crossing the frontier,
and when safe in the land of the Czar
laid the matter before the Russian
officials. The consequence was that
the Russian Minister at Seoul got
instructions to protest against such
cruelties. Russia thus got her fin
ger in Korea

The Home Library.

a place to keep books in is one of
the first essentials in imparting a
tone of thorough refinement to a
house.
What sort of books will you have
in your home library Remember
you need not buy them all at once.
A library is like garden. 1t grows
by cultivation, Like the family to
whom it belongs, it develops day by
day, year by year. 1t is like house
it most needs possess foundations,
well-hewn and strongly laid
First among its must-bes is good
encyclopedia There are always
arising occasions when the intelli-
gent person finds it advisable to go
to some authority in order to get
matters straight in his mind. No
body's memory can retain everything
one ought to know about Siam,
about Ceylon, about coffee-raising,
about a hundred other things and
places and peoples, all of which are
treated by specialists in an encyclo.
pedia.
Among other books of reference n
dictionary of date is Indispensable;
so is compendium of familiar quota
tions and readers handbook. The
very best attainable lexicon should
be in some accessible spot where the
children and young people may form
the habit of consulting it whenever
doubt arises as to the spelling, pro-
nunciation, or precise shade of mean
ing Of any word, whether word in
common use or one seldom heard.
This is scholarly exactitude, not
pedantry.
In good and well chosen home
library there will by degrees enter
separation and adjustment. One
shelf will hold volumns of history,
another will be devoted to biography
another to poetry, to travels to es-
says. The book-loving boy or girl
will insensibly acquire so intimate an
acquaintance with the books that he
or she can put hand on any wished
for volume without long and bewil-
dcred search. The backs of the
books will regard the family in
friendly fashion, and some brown,
fat, shabby, faded, much read, and
often made the companions of daily
life, will have an individuality never
the portion of any but friends of the
family.

Italy. Upon recovering his mind
he was unable to recall where the
coat was hidden. He has been hunt

near the river and in few moments
OF frantic search he found it in a

writes Juliet Corson in the Ladies
Home Journal. Have a system of
living, and maintain it. Have a
place for everything, and keep every
thing in its place. Near the entrance
door have suitable holders for coats,
hats, wraps, umbrellas, canes, over
and outdoor shoes, ETC., and see that
they are kept there. In the sitting
room have place for writing and
sewing materials, and special table
for books, magazines and papers,
and insist upon it that they shall be
put there instead of being left where
they drop from the readers hands,

mother, whose work in some house
holds seems never-ending

Want Church Property Taxed.

The Adventists in session at Battle
Creek are long way in advance of
other religious bodies on the question
of taxing church property. After a
long and able discussion they passed
the following: "Whereas, In view of
the separation which we believe should
exist between the church and the state
it is inconsistent for the church to re-
ceive from the state pecuniary gifts,
favors or exemption, therefore, Re-
solved, That we repudiate the doctrine
that church or ecclesiastics} property
should be exempt from taxation and
that we decidedly protest against any
such exemption and favor the repeal OF
any legislation that grants such eX-
emption.'

LAUNCHED INTO ETERNITY.

The Launching of "a Schooner i'm Wheelers
Bay City Shipyard Has an Awful Ending.
What was intended as gale day at
the ship yard of +. w. Wheeler &c Com
pany at Bay City turned into one of
horror by one of the most terrible ac-
cidents the city has ever witnessed.
Preparations for grand celebration
in honor of the laying of the keel of
the Centurian, the Tooth vessel TO be
built at this yard had been made.
Thousands of invitations had been sent
out to people to witness the keel laying
of the largest steel steamer of the
lakes and the launch of the largest
wooden schooner, the Mary McLaugh-
lin. The yard had been gaily decor
ated, bands were stationed about and
fully 5000 people were present TO
witness the proceedings.
The keel was laid, speeches were
made and Mr. Wheeler had been pre-
sented with a solid silver table set by
his employees. BY this time the
schooner was ready for launching.
She stood on the ways alongside slip
about 100 feet wide, on the opposite
side of which was the steamship Kittie
M. Forbes. The Forbes as well as all
the surrounding yard was black with
people and men and boys covered the
hurricane deck and had even climbed
up into the rigging of the vessel.
As the huge hull struck the water
the spectators set up a shout and
band started to play a national air.
But instantly the shout was changed
into a cry of terror. The music
stopped and the spectators were gazing
at the bodies of nearly score of men
and boys flying through the air to the
seething water between the vessels.
The side launch commonly used here
had sent up huge swell which lifted
the Forbes 10 feet into the air. As the
vessel careened back to its place the
occupants of the hurricane deck were
thrown against the slight railing sur
rounding it which gave way and a
mass of struggling humanity was TAX
ing a drop of % feet to what seemed
almost certain death. There was a
space of not to exceed Is feet between
the vessels where the water was seeth-
ing and foaming and in which huge
cakes of ice were mercilessly grinding
each other.
1t was impossible to tell how many
were thrown into the water, but the
lowest estimate places the number at
at Is while many eye witnesses were
sure that there were at least 90 or 25.
Of these nine were rescued. Six
people are known to be missing; pos
sibly more.
LATER-It is now believed that all
those who were thrown into the water
were rescued although it cannot be
stated positively, several eye-witnesses
claiming that they saw two boys go
down under the ice and they did not
come up. One man, Fred Babcock has
died from injuries received.
