Germany's Queer Tree.

One of the most curious trees in Ger
many stands on the left bank of the
river Oder, in Ratibor, Silesia. 1t is a
maple, at least one hundred years old,
which has been twisted and cut into a
sort of circular two-storied house. A
fight of steps leads up to the first
level, where the branches have been
gradually woven together so that they
make firm leafy floor; above this is a
second floor of smaller diameter,
formed in the same way, and the ends
of the branches have been woven into
solid walls and cut so that eight win
dows light each of the apartments.-N.

THE PEAR MIpoE.
Damage Done by This Pest and How to
Hold It In Cheek.

Hold It In Check.
The pear midge is one of the insects
which has been introduced into the
United States within recent years and
is causing good deal of injury in the
eastesn states, so that Bulletin No. 90
of the New Jersey station should be of
much assistance to fruit-growers in
that section, as well as in other locali-
ties where pear growing is extensively
carried on.
The adult insect or fly is described as
much resembling diminutive mos
quito. 1t makes it's appearance very
early in the season, before the pear
blossoms open. The female deposits
her eggs in the latter by piercing the
petals or the calyx. The midge larv@
live on the substance of the pear It's
sue, destroying the seed and checking
the growth of the fruit, which decays
and drops in early summer. Our illus
tration shows sound young pear
and one deformed by the pear midge
Larvae.
The great difficulty encountered in
fighting this insect lies in the fact
that there is no period at which 1t is
within reach of ordinary insecticides.
The eggs are laid in the bud before it
opens and the young larvae get into

PARDoNARLE DEsERTloN.
The Soldiers Pride Was Overpowered by
the Fathers Love.

Tho Soldiers Pride Was Overpowered by
the Fathers Love.
In the winter OF 1S62-63 Col A. c.
Battle, of the confederate army, pre-
sided over a court martial of the Army
OF Northern Virginia. Case after case
was disposed of, and then the case of
Edward Cooper was called-a young
artilleryman charged with desertion.
The prisoner pleaded not guilty, and
the judge-advocate was beginning for
the prosecution, when the court inter
posed to ask the accused who his coun.
sci was. ~ have no counsel" was the
the reply. The specifications against
him were all sustained by the evidence,
and he was told to introduce his wit
nesses. ~ have no witnesses" he an
swered. The president of the court,
astonished at the prisoners calmness,
said:
"Have you no defense? Is 1t possi-
BILE that you abandoned your comrades
and deserted your colors without any
reason?'
"There was reason" said the
young man, but it will not avail me
before'a military court"
You may be mistaken"
The prisoner trembled, and for the
first time tears filed his eyes. He
stepped up to Col Battle and handed
him letter. There, colonel, is what
did it."
The president read the letter, and in
moment his eyes, too, were moist.
The paper was passed from hand to
hand, and soon the whole court was in
tears. This was the letter, as Col. Bat
tie read it in the prisoners defense:
my DEAR EDwARD.-I have always
been proud Of you, and since your con-
nection with the confederate army I
| have been prouder of you than ever. 1
would not have you do anything
wrong for the world; but before God,
Edward, unless you come home, we
must die! Last night / was reused by
little Eddie crying. l called and said:
| What's the matter, Eddie? and he
said: % mamma, am so hungryr And
Lucy, your darling Lucy, she never
complains, but she is growing thinner
every day. And before God, Edward,
unless you come home, we must all
die. Your MARY"
"What did you do when you received
| unlS leOUeT! dSReu SOl baUUle.
81 applied for furlough," was the
prisoners answer. THE application
was rejected. Again and again
made application, and it was rejected.
Then, one night, as wandered back
and forth in the camp, with Lucy's
eyes on me and her mothers words
burning into my brain, l was no
longer the confederate soldier; was
the father of Lucy and the husband of
Mary. And would have passed those
lines if every gun in the battery had
fred upon me.
81 went home. Mary ran out to
meet me. Her arms were round me as
she whispered:
$50 Edward, / am so happyl ! am 81
glad you got your furloughl'
"She must have felt me shudder.
She turned pale as death, and catch
ing her breath at every word, she said:
80 Edward, Edward, go back! go
back! Let me and the children go
down to the grave, but save the honor
of your namel'
"And here 1 am, not brought here by
military power, but in obedience to
Mary's command, to abide the sentence
of your court"
Moved as the officers of the court
martial were. they did their duty as

they understood it, and each in'oturn
pronounced the same sentence:
Guilty"
Fortunately the proceedings of the
court were reviewed by the command
ing general. He endorsed the record
thus:
