The Bark of Fruit Trees,

From Meehan's Monthly for March.
As a general thing healthy trees are able
to get rid of the old bark without any help
from the cultivator; but in many cases
they are all the better for having a little
help from man. In many species of trees
there is an arrangement provided by ma
ture for helping the plant to get rid of its
bark. These are called, in scientific lam
guage, "suber ells:''hthat is to say, cork
cells. These appear at first on the outer
bark, as small brown spots. From year TO
year, however they Neutrality-suspicious.
eating into the bark in longitudinal lines,
and in this way form the cracks which ul-
timately result in what Is known as rot yh
bark. AS il is thus the design Of nature TO
get rid of the outer bark, IL is good prac-
uce to help nature in this work For this
purpose washes Of various kinds are found
In practice extremely useful. In fruit cul-
ture, soapy solutions have been found very
effective; and in the unscientific work of
successful farmers even lime wash has been
found beneficial In some of the interior
counties Of Pennsylvania a farmer would
almost as soon think of never cleaning his
horses as letting his orchard trees go with
out coating of lime wash once a year.
The practical results of this treatment
speak for themselves. No healthier trees
or more successful fruit crops can be had
than result from this practice

Absorption of Water by Trees.

From Meehan's Monthly.
1t has been noted that in swamps where
there are small hillocks so that trees may
grow on them the ground is not as wet as
in places where trees cannot grow. This
comes from the absorption of moisture by
the roots of trees. Every one knows how
a large thrifty growing tree will dry the
earth underneath it. 1t is this drying pow
er of the roots which tends to make swamps
dry. The more rapid grower a tree is, the
more leaves-in other words the more
leaves to pump moisture the more they
will dry the ground Practical use of this
fact in drying swamps has not, however
been made to any great extent The only
effort on any great scale to make use of
this principle is on the marshes near Rome.
where the blue gum tree of Australia has
been planted. This is an enormously rapid
growing tree. and the drying of the swamps
is of course proportional

THREW DICE FOR A GOLD NINE,
Three Shakes ana Horses. the Tie
BEING Won by -Four Aces.

From the Spokane Review.
Samuel l. Silverman and Dick Sherwood
each owned half interest in a valuable
gold mine in Okanogan county They de-
cided on Saturday night that there wasn't
room enough for two in its management,
and hit upJn a true western expedient for
settling their business difficulties But they
didn't call for pistols for two, with coffee
for one, or go out on the open greensward
behind the hotel and fight with bowie
knives There was a quicker way than
that and it was much safer. Sherwood and
Siverman called for dice box and the reg
ula ton number of dice instead
How shall il be?' asked Silverman, with
q name-your-weapon expression on his face.
Three shakes, horses" Sherwood replied
and as every one knew what that meant
there were no further preliminaries.
Both men were are as calm and collected
as if an immense fortune had not been at
stake Silverman shook first. He got two
pairs. fours and treys, in three series of
hopes and fears. Sherwood was sure he
could beat that, and he did, with three
aces, the first rattle out of the box.
Follow your hand' said Silverman, still
unmoved. Sherwood shook and SO did Sill
verman. The latter won. That made it
horse and horse"
silverman ratified the bones long, but
gently, with short, circular motion sug-
gestive of deep thought. Then two pairs
rolled out, fours and treys. He tried to
"fll'' and failed once. Again he attempted
the same feat Then, with a glad smile,
he laid the box aside. The lucky bone had
come a four. Sherwood was not so conf
dent after that, but he bore up heroically.
In one shake he had pair of aces In an
other there We're three aces. He puffed a
breath into the box gently and rolled out
another. Then Manager S. T. Arthur, who
had been a silent witness. supported man
on each arm and a trip was made to the
refreshment room.
The claim will be called the Monte Carlo
by its owner. MIR. Sherwood. 1t was bonded
some time ago by payment of 81, 900, but
the bond lapsed. Mining men regard II as
a good prospect, as the country within a
circle of few miles contains thousands
of ounces of the precious yellow metal

Honesty the Best Policy.

FROM the Ladies Home Journal.
III Is strange how reluctant Young mon
are to accept. as the most vital truth IN
life, that the most absolute honesty is the
only kind of honesty that succeeds in bus,-
ness. Ii isn't question Of religion or
religious beliefs. Honesty does not de-
pend upon any religious creed or dogma
that was ever conceived. 1t is a question
OF a young mans own conscience he
knows what is right and what is wrong
Ana yet, simple the matter is IL is
astonishing ROW difficult II is OF under
standing. An honest course in business
seems TOO SLOW To the average young maa
a cant afford To plod aIong L must
strike, and strike quickly" is the sentiment
An, yes. my friend, but not dishonesty
No young man can afford to even think
OF dishonesty. Success on honora bic lines
may sometimes seem slower in Coming but
when IL does come il outTiVals in perma-
nency all the so-called successes gained
by other methods. To look at the methods
OF others is always mistake. The sue
cesseS of today are not given to the
imitator, but to the originator. 1t makes
no difference how other men may succeed
their success is theirs and not yours
You cannot partake of it Every man is
law unto himself. The most absolute
integrity is the one and the only sure
foundation of success. Such a success
is lasting. Other kinds of successes may
seem so. but it is all in the seeming, and
not in the reality. Let young man swerve
from the path of honesty and IL will sur
prise him how quickly every avenue OF a
lasting success is closed against him. Max
ing money dishonesty is the most difficult
thing to accomplish in the world. Just as
lying is the practice most wea ring to the
mind. 1t is the young man of ypquestioned
integrity who is selected for the important
position. No business man ever places his
business in the hands OF young man
whom he feels he cannot absolutely trust
And to be trusted means to be honest
Honesty, and that alone, commands con-
fidence An honest life, well directed. is
the only life for young man to lead. 1t is
the one life that is compatible with the
largest and surest business success.

MASHED BOTH HANDS.

F. F. Crenshaw Has a Suit Against
the Central and Against It's Re-
ceivers.
f. f. Crenshaw has filed through his
attorneys, Messrs. Barrow & Osborne
two suits In the city court, one against
the Central Railroad and Banking Com
pany, and the other against the receivers
of that road.
In the first he alleges that Feb 2S,
1891, he was about to board a suburban
train on that road in Atlanta, when il
started suddenly and without any no
tice throwing him TO the ground, where
his left hand was mashed under one of
the wheels In such manner as to impair
his ability to earn livelihood. For this
he asks $1,000 damages.
The second suit asks similar amount
for an accident which occurred May II,
| 1898 This suit is brought against the
| receivers of the Central railroad He
was at the time employed in the Central
railroad shops at salary of 81 200 a
year He was assisting a machinist
to move truck which contained four
heavy iron boxes, each weighing 200
pounds. The truck, he alleges, was de-
fective and gave way letting the boxes
fall TO the ground. This mashed his
right hand so as to render il useless.
For this he also asks &c, 900 damages
