Verstegan, in his "Nestiges," states:
Before we borrowed the word hon
our we used instead thereof our own
ancient word ear. For noble or gentle
we used ethel. Ethel was sometimes in
composition abridged to el. SO as of ear
ethel, it came to be ear-el. and by
Authorization earl. 1t is as much as
to say, honour noble or noble of
honour" Earl is the only title of
nobility derived from the Anglo-Saxon.
for though William the Conqueror first
made hereditary earls they were TO be
called counts. The ancient title, how
ever, holds its position to the present,
and in acknowledgment of the Norman
French the wives of earls are called

RIVAL POLITICIANS.
HOW THEY PASS THEIR HOURS OF
EASE IN SUMNER.

David Bennett Hill and Jacob sIoat Fas-
sett Have Elegant Country ,Homes-Mr.
HnI's Mansion Was Built by Fritz En-
met and Has an Interesting History.
Hon. David Bennett Hill and Hon.
Jacob Sloat Fassett are Elmirans and
lifelong rivals in city. county and state
politics. There the rivalry ends for the
present, for Mr.. Hill took sudden rise
and went away ahead of Mr.. Fassett.
The latter ran for governor on the ebb
tide of Republicanism in New York and
so returned to private life, while the
former ran on the flood tide of Democ-
racy and became in rapid succession
lieutenant governor, governor and Unit
ed States senator. Their rivalry began
in Elmira and ended, for the present at
least, in Albany.
Despite their long rivalry at Elmira
and Albany they are good friends, with
very similar tastes for rural life, AS both
have shown recently by securing coun-
try homes of great beauty. Mr.. Hills
home has history. Several years ago
the eccentric actor, Joseph K. Emmett,
Our Fritz" in one of his summer ram
bles was struck with the commanding
situation and rural beauty of a spot on
the ridge which runs along the west
side of the Hudson from Albany to Troy.
He bought IA acres and proceeded &c
build residence after his own heart.
Being the product and the exclusive
product of Emmet's brain, it is not nee
essary to add that the design is unique,

YOUNG FRUIT E
How to Take Care Of Them During the
First Summer.

How to Take Care of Them During the
First summer.
The first season after the young fruit
tree has been transplanted from the
nursery To its permanent home in the
orchard is a critical period in its exist
ence, and it is hardly too much to say
that on its growth during this period
depends in a great measure the future
value of the tree. If it receives a check
at this point in its career its full posi-
BILE perfection will probably never be
realized. OF course much of the first
seasons success or failure depends upon
the care or carelcssness with which the
transplanting has beer done in the
spring, but still the summer care will
have much to do in helping the tree
through the first season.
The greatest danger the tree will en-
counter is the scalding effect of the
midsummer heat and the weakening of
its vitality by a drying of the earth
about the roots. the first difficulty will
he at least partially obviated, and the
latter almost wholly, by taking are
that the earth is made firm about the
roots when the tree is transplanted and
kept thoroughly well mulched. The
mulching should be spread on thickly
and as far out from the trunk of the
tree as the roots rum, and if carried
considerably farther it will be all the
better. as the moist condition of the
soil beyond the extremities of the roots
will induce good growth.
Another care of summer is to be on
the lookout for the eggs of the apple
tree borer that may be deposited upon
the trunk, from which eggs, if not de-
stroyed, will come a brood of larve
capable of inflicting irreparable damage
upon the tree. Another important
summer care is the cutting off at
of all branches that are not desirable
for the growing tree to possess, as in this
way much strength can be saved to be
expended in growth, where growth is
desired Care at all points throughout
the season is amply repaid by the
orchard in after years.-Webb Donnell.

Mind Your Own Business.

An old custom once prevailed in a re-
mote place of giving n clock to anyone
who would truthfully swear that he
had minded his own business alone for a
year and a day and had not meddled
with his neighbors. Many came, but
few, if any, gained the prize, which
was more difficult to win than the Dun
NOW fitch of bacon. Though they
swore on the four Gospels, and held
out their hands in certain hope, some
hitch was sure to be found somewhere;
and for all their assertions the clock
remained stationary on its shelf, no
one being able to prove his absolute inn
munity from uncalled.for interference
in things not in any way concerning
himself. At last a young man came
with a perfectly clean record, and the
clock seemed as if it was at last about
to change owners. Then said the GUS
todian: 30, a young man was here yes
terday, and made mighty sure he vas
going to have the clock, but he didn't"
Said the young man seeking the prize.
"And why didn't he get it?' What s
that to your" snapped out the u
todian, that's not your business, and
you don't get the clock."-Home Jour

Greenwood cemetery, Brooklyn,
has grown of late years to be extreme
ly valuable. IL occupies. 474 acres in
what now is a thickly-settled part of the
city; it is a fashionable place of burial,
and lots there have appreciated enor-
nously in value. 1t is said that last
year the trustees took in about $500, 900
for interments. Forty years ago a
man bought a lot there for 1880, and
afterward was buried in it. His son
has been offered $40, 900 for the lot, and
wants to sell it and remove his fathers
bones to a less expensive resting place.
He vas about to carry out the plan
when the law was invoked, and the su-

graves, and exempting them from
