III is not generally known that in
sending trees to distance, the tighter
they can be packed, provided they are
not very wet, the better they will travel
In old times, before the days of steam
boats, it was not uncommon to send
such plants as camellias, azaleas,
heaths and other plants on six
months voyage to Australia with per-
feet success. The plants were packed
in perfectly dry moss and pressed into
the cases as tight as it was possible for
them to be pressed. They usually
reached Australia in perfect condition.

Insurance Agent yanBuskirk FOnnd
to Be All Right In Every Sense of
the Word.

D. VanBuskirk, agent for the
Massachusetts Mutual Life Insur
ance Company of Springfield, Mass,
was arrested last week on a charge
of obtaining money under false
pretepses. He had insured Prof.
Guerrne's life, and for some
reason suspicion got out
that he was not with this insurance
company now. 1t appears that he
had been general agent, but is now
a sub-agent. A telegram to the
headquarters asking if he was gen.
eral agent was answered in the neg
ative. Officers then went to Lad
donia where he was at work and ar
rested him. His company, being
informed of his arrest, Immediately
wired that while he was not general
agent he was sub-agent, and had a
license and authority to work for
the company. These being the facts
in the case he was Immediately dis
charged.
Mr.. VanBuskirk says that two
local insurance agents were the cause
of his arrest, and that he will attend
to them at the proper time and in
the proper Way,
