Excitement Caused Relapse.

Vienna, October 23-Among the re-
ports that have been spread and denied
and spread again today is one to the
effect that there had been a violent
scene between the Gear and Czarewici',
the latter vowing that he had rather
renounce the throne than enter love
less marriage. The excitement of the
dispute was said to have made the Gear
worse.
Berlin Ocober 2.-The North German
Gazette says: "A semi-offi ccial despatch
received here this morning says that the

foresight, hope of a cure is excluded.

catastrophe is not expected in the i'm

Uses Of O Cancels Hump.

The queer questions Of the world are
asked at the lnenageries and geological
gardcns-at least so the keeper of the ami
NAL house at Central park says.
To illustrate this point in single in
stance he narratcs the following as an ac-
tual occurrence. It relates to man from
tho rural district, who for half an hour or
SO had been watching a camel:
"Can you tell me, sir, asked the stran-
ger, what that hump on the animal IS
back is for?"
whats it for?' queried the other in
surprise.
yes, what's it for? OF what value is
it?''
IT was really SO taken aback, said the
keeper, THAT couldn't help giving the
guy a Jolly, and SO / said:
Its of great practical value, sir A
camel would be utterly worthless without
it,
No good without it! Why so?''
Why, you see, sir, you don't suppose
folks would come miles to see this animal
or pay % cents at show to see one If it
didn't have hump. A camel without a
hump might just as well be COW. It's
the hump that makes it an attraction.
That's its use. New York Herald.

The Horrible Maxim Gun.

Maxim guns were used aboard our iron
clads during, the recent naval maneuvers.
A correspondent describes their use as fol
lows: The storm Of bullets from them cut
the water like the rain on the advancing

these guns gunner of very moderate skill
can, at 500 yards range, cut down an or

workman can do the business on the spot
with an ak, and it is therefore not aston
ishing that most of the targets recently,

Newly Planted Trees.

As a general rule, newly plant
ed trees hardly get sufficiently
well established to make much
growth daring the early part of
the season. 1t Is best, however,
that all reasonable care should be
taken to have the conditions of
growth as favorable as possible,
then if the summer and fall be
favorable, good start may be
secure before cola weather. 1t
Is quite an item with all varieties
of trees to get them well estab-
lished, get good root growth,
and then it will not be very diff
cult to s. cure good top.
One serious mistake in planting
trees is IN putting g layer of ma
nure in the bottom of the place
prepared for them, setting in the
tree, and then.filling up with soil
This to great extent. shuts out
the supply of moisture, or at least,
to an extent that the trees will
die. While in many cases an
application of manure can be
made beneficial, it should only be
applied by incorporating thor
oughly with the soil. IN many
cases havlug too much manure
near the roots when the tree is
making a start to grow tends to
produce too heavy a growth of
top. When the tree is taken up
to be tfanspIanted, it is subjected
to more OF LEES root pruning,
depending largely upon the man
ner of taking up. The top should
always be cut back in proportion
to the roots, in order to have it
equal. While the roots help to
make the tree grow, so do the
leaves, and the best results SO far
as health and thrift are concerned,
are secured by having these as
nearly evenly balanced as posi-
BILE. II the tree makes a thrifty,
vigorous growth until it is well
established, there will usually be
no dlcfliulty in keeping good
growth afterwards.
