TREE SETTING DEVICE.

long and the other 3 feet long, are
hinged together notch being cut in the
end of the shortest piece. An upright
stick, sharpened ON the lower end, is
run through the center of the longest
board. a peg is also placed IN the end
of the same piece to secure the dRice in
the ground.
1t is used by placing the notch in the
shorter end of the board, against the
stake which locates the position for the
tree. 1t is then turned back and the
hole dug after which the end is let
down and the tree placed in the notch,
when it is of course III the exact position
previously occupied by the stake, and if
your measurements are correct in a
straight line with the other trees.
Tho best means Of protecting young
trees from mischievous animals in the
same Enclosure, according to the author
ity already quoted, is to drive three
stout stakes about the tree and equally
distant from one another. Staple the
end of some fencing wire to one of the
stakes at the ground. Then wind the

wire around the stakes, close enough to
prevent the animals getting their heads
through until the top of the stakes is
reached.
A few staples now driven in will hold
the wire in place. This protection is
Inexpensive and easily constructed. 1t
is better than one made altogether of
wood, since it excludes very little sun
from the tree and does not afford in
sects, larvae, etc, conveniently protect
i've corners or crevices 1t also protects
the trees from workmen that are care
less with pillow or cultivator. When the
tree no longer needs protection, the sta
pies can be drawn and the wire be I'M
wound and used elsewhere.

In the countries bordering on the polar
seas, where the changing seasons bring
alternately the two extremes of dearth and
plenty, birds are more numerous in the
short summer than anywhere else all the
world over, and in winter absent altogeth-
er All are emigrants there by force of cir
cumstances. In like manner the birds Of
temperate climates are affected by the
seasonal changes, though in less degree
through the influence of cold and heat up
on their food supplies rather than by eff.
feet of cold upon their well protected
bodies, a coat of mail is not to be COM
pared to a coat Of feathers for safety, SO
far as bird 5 life is concerned. Layer up
on layer of feathers can withstand any
amount of water or any degree of cold
In proof of this see how the delicate fern
after wintering in comparatively mild
weather, go back to the ice foes of the
polar sea and lay their eggs on the bare
ice.
For two or three weeks the slender
breast of the sea swallow is pressed against
a cold block of ice. Again, as another ex-
ample of the influence of food rather than
climate in governing bird action, take tho
colony of bcccahcos. The bcccaflco is a
Mediterranean bird common on the south
ern shores of Spain and Italy, in the Gre
clan islands, Sicily and Malta, and on
the northern shores of Africa. Formerly
it was quite unknown in the British isles,
but some years ago II large orchard of fig
trees was planted near Brighton, and the
becca1lcos have discovered the fact and
come over to share the spoil. Doubtless
the nightingales told them the story of
English figs and showed them the way
over. BE this as it may, the little birds
from the warm shores of the Medditerra-
mean bid fair to become established as nat
uralized British subjects. -Litteil's Liv-

farmers could afford to ignore this waste
and let it seed the land with volunteer

But in these times every little counts,

Deserted Farms In Vermont.

The attractions of Vermont as a sum-
mer home are becoming better under
stood each year, and many city men are
buying and improving the farms adver-
tised three years ago as abandoned for
summer homes. With deserted farms
again under cultivation and reputa-
ton for superior dairy products, horses
and other staples second to none, there
is no reason why Vermont farmers

Mr.. and Mrs. Hen are the people to do
the work properly, and Rural New
Yorker calls attention to the way this
thing is done in England. A little hen
house ON wheels, large enough for 20
hens, is hauled about from one part of
the field to another Wherever it stops
the hens clean up all the scattered wheat
for many rods in every direction. They
come back to the house to uleep and lay.
All the farmer has to do is to move the
house and gather the eggs. The hens do
the rest. There is progress for you. On
many an American wheat farm the hens
could make the waste wheat worth a

The prof essor of natural science at
Ann Ar Dor was discussing the process s
of ferti ling plants by means of in
sects carrying pollen from one plant
to another, and told them after OAR
win that the old maids were the ulti-
mate cause Of it all. The humble bees
carry the pollen, the field mice eat the
humble bees. Therefore, the more
field mice, the fewer humble bees an d
the less pollen and variation OF plants.
But cats devour field mice, and old
maids protect cats. Therefore, the
more old maids, the more cats, the
fewer field mice, the more bees.
Hence old maids are the cause of it all.
Thereupon a Sophomore with a single
eyeglass, an English UNI brella, a box
coat, with his ''trousers" rolled up at
the bottom, arose and asked: II say,
professah, what is the cause-ah-of
old maids, don't you know" "Per-
haps Miss Jones can tell you," sug-
gested the professor. "Dudes," said
Miss Jones sharply and without hes
itation. There was silence in the room
for the space of thirty seconds, after
which the lecture was resumed

his lost spoils. In an instant the

MACAULA YS RHYMING.

The English Illustrated Magazine con-
tains some delightful, simple, and
childish lines written by Lord Maui
caulay for his little niece, and illus
trating what a magazine of long ago,
called the Tom side Of Macoulay was; for
the historian and poet was ''Tom'' to
many people, and Tom full of good
nature and fun. The author of the
article says:
ssThis little poem was written when
my father was spending a holiday at
his family home in Somersetshire, and
was much occupied in fishing, of which
he was very fond. One day he took
his little girl out with him, as spec
ial treat for her; and he found that
she regarded the whole proceeding
with horror, and that he could only
pacify her by throwing the fish back
into the stream.
''The story delighted Lord Macau-
lay, whose sympathy with the sport
was not of nature to interfere with
his enjoyment of the incident. He
wrote to my mother:
"'I am delighted to hear that my
dear Bahia plays at meeting Uncle
Tom again. Is she old enough to take
care of canary bird Or two? From
her tenderness to the little fish, [
think may venture to trust her with
live animals. Here is a song for her:
"'There was little good Baba,
And she said to her dear papa,
"My dear papa, do wish
You would not catch the little fish!'
Them said papa" Why not, my jewels"
Then said Bahia: cit is so cruel
If you were run through with hook,
And pulled along, and boiled by cook,
You would not think it nice at all,
Butyou would kick and roar and squall.
So let the little fishes play,
Papa, and do not hurt them, pray!'"

USE OF SWEARING.

According to the headmaster of
of swearing is to supply the wants of
a defective vocabulary" At public
Schools he says, Swearing is only
found among the biggest 'louts,' !"
who have no command Of incisive
language without resorting to set
phrases. This is certainly not always
the case. eff it be urged" he adds,
"that sometimes men of ordinary
common sense do swear, it is not from
any difficulty to shake off the habit,
but probably because they consider
that Beelzebub in the sense they mean
to invoke him, is as harmless as Sar-
danapulus would be as sub5titute.n
Swearing among boys, the head
master Of Bradford says, frequently
takes the form of mere garnish to
conversation, and often disappears
with years and increased education
its use, in fact, "merely acting as
stuffing in the chinks of the mind"
DIR. Parker holds that there is no
"substitute'' for swearing, which, he
supposes, means the use of bad Ian
guage. cit is vulgar, indecent, foolish
and pestilent. It adds no strength, no
dignity, no true force to speech. 1t is
no use attacking swearing. Attack
the swearer; make him clean mouth
ed he must be made clean hearted.
Speech should be pure, beautiful,
musical, sympathetic. The swearer is
akin to a mad dog. Westminster Ga
