why the Trees Did Not Bloom.

Mr.. p. G. Reynolds, in Green's
Fruit Grower, reports Baldwin APP
pie orchard near Rochester, which
blossomed abundantly in 1892. but
set no fruit, owing to cold storm
which came just as fertilization
should take place. The few speci-
mems that set were fungus stricken
and amounted to nothing. 1t was
thought that in 1893 the years rest
to the tree would induce abundant
blossoming and fruiting, but when
the time for blessing came it was
found that no fruit buds had formed.
This failure TO blossom Is attributed
by Mr.. Reynolds TO exhaustion from
the very abundant blossoming the
previous season. 1t seems more
probable to us that it was the effect
OF the fungus which attacked, prob
ably. both fruit and leaf The main
tenance of healthy foliage I'm fruit
trees Is essential TO pr0ductveness.
From the frequency OF failure OF the
Baldwin in late years it seems likely
that this variety Is especially subject
to blight OF the leaf Had this nom
bearing orchard been sprayed with
something to destroy the fungus, 1t
is probable that IL would have borne
last year. Apple growers must learn
to spray their orchards whether bear
ing or not. on account OF the good eff
feet of healthy foliage in making the
trees fruitful in succeeding seasons.

Planting scabby Potatoes.

1t is not best to plant scabby po-
tatoes II other seed can be had. But
where the only seed obtainable is
more or less scabby, it may be fitted
for planting by immersing the seed In
weak solution of corrosive subli-
mate. This has been tried in the
Connecticut experiment station, and
POTATOES free from scab were grown
from seed badly affected. One ounce
of corrosive sublimate Is dissolved In
one quart of hot water. This is then
mixed with fifteen gallons OF cold
water, and the cut seed Is immersed

A copple Of irish Letters.

As commissioner of public works, Mr..
lie Fanu received good many amusing
letters, particularly from farmers who
were borrowers under the land improve
ment act. Here is one which came from
a man to whom Mr.. lie Fanu had refused
the second installment Of loan because
he had misapplied the first;
SR-I shpent the money all right; send me
the rest, and don't be humboling me any morel
Send it at once, ! tell ye. Hell to your SOUL

Here is one other Of these letters. 1t was
from a small farmer, who had in his hands
the remnants Of d loan--es-which he
would neither expend nor refund. After
many fruitless endeavors to make him dc
one or the other, peremptory letter was
sent to him, to which came the following
reply:

Radlr rrlrhtened.

Innumerable experiences prove that all
ughost storiesn have a rational explana-
tion, and that some natural cause can be
found for any seemingly supernatural oc-
currenee. Sometimes it requires great
coolness and self possession to remember
this, but the effort to do so IS worth maxi
ing, for it may save life or reason. a
striking illustration Of this was the tragic
experience Of a Dutch painter, named
Penteman, who lived in the eighteenth
century.
Penteman had a commission which re-
quired the portrayal of skeletons, death s
heads and other objects intended to in
spire contempt for the frivolities and van
tiles of the time. In order TO have models
before him he painted his picture in an
anatomical museum. One day he had been
sketching the CHASTITY objects which sur
rounded him when he fell asleep.
Suddenly he was awakened by an ex-
traordinary noise. lie was Mortified ia
sec all the deaths heads nodding and
grimacing, and the skeletons dancing
about and waving their fieshless arms
madly in the air. Penteman fled from
the frightful scene and escaped into ths
street. He was picked up unconscious anC
half dead with fright. As soon as hewa.
rational, it was explained to him thai
there had been an earthquake and thai
that had caused the commotion among thu
anatomical specimens, but the shock haC
been too severe; he died in q few days.

The indian Parsees.

The Indian Parsees number now in all
90 600 people. They are and always have
been devoted subjects Of her majesty, and
we may attribute this as much to o GER
tain sympathy with western methods Of
thought over eastern as 70 the fact that
they would rather be ruled by entire for
eigners than by those whom they might
themselves have conquered had fortune fa-
vorcd them,
In domestic relations the Parsoe shows
favorably He is gentle and courteous,
while, as is the case with all children OF
the sun, his affections are strong. His
treatment Of his womankind is not orien-
tai. No petty jealousy consumes him lest
they should be as powerful as himself i
allowed similar advantages. He is per
haps unnecessarily luxurious in his style
of living, and this reacts on his charac
ter, making him averse TO any exertior
which would involve personal discomfort
Doubtless IL is not his fault; he has beer
too much the center Of his femily's afiec
tions to be anything but self regarding by

Incidents Realized and Remembered by
People While Asleep.
Al lawyer who had been overworled rose
in his sleep, went into the hall OF his
house and discharged pistol. The house
hold hurried to the place and found him
at the head Of tie stairway, awake, but
much bewildered He had dreamed of
burglars and had gone to attack them.
One member Of the family slept through
the noise. When he came into the dining
room-before he heard of the events of the
night--he complained that his sleep had
been much disturbed. He had dreamed
that he had been condemned to be shot,
that he had been led to the place Of execu-
tion and had fallen senseless when the
guns were fred. A lady dreamed that a
man came into her room, poured some wa
ter into p basin, carried the splashing wa
ter to her bedside and began to sprinkle it
over her She awoke and heard a loud
splashing. AT FIRST she was motionless
with fear, but presently she lighted can
die and went to the basin where she found
a mouse making frantic efforts to get out
of the water.
Another dreamed that she had severe
earache; that she rose, unlocked the door
that separated her room from one in which
two children slept and went to shell
where there was lotion, which she ap
| piled to her ear. When she awoke, she
found herself in her own bed and without
| pain. The door was still locked, but in {
few minutes one Of the children began K
/ cry that his ear ached, and she rose ant
went to the shelf fss the lotion.

the child into his arms, and he was s

Another incident appears TO be case Q

The PunInhment Of pebs.

From the New York Evening Post.
Judge Woods has sentenced Debs and
bis assistants TO six months In jail for
their sction in interfering with inter
state commerce and disobeying the In
Junction Of the United States Circuit
Court. This is very mild puniahmant
when we look at all the attending cir.
cumstances, the riots, the destruction Of
property and the killing aud maiming Of
human beings But Debs and his assist :
ants can only be punished for what they
did not for what others did, even though
these last were ths consequences Of the
orders given by the chiefs of the Amsri-
can Rsilway Union. The imprisonment
ef these men sven for q short time Is a
token Of what society has la store for
this class of offenders.

salt For Corpses.

The practice Of placing a pewter plate
containing a little salt on a corpse may
possibly have originated IN salt being con-
sidered an emblem Of eternity In Scot
land the custom has generally been to
place both salt and earth, separate and
unmixed the earth being an emblem Of
the corruptible body, and the salt an em-
blem OF the immortal spirit. Salt has
also been used TO preserve a corpse. The
body Of Henry i who died in Normandy,
was cut and gashed, sprinkled with salt,
wrapped in a bulls hide, and brought to
