How Professor Biackie's Apology for
Rough Word Was Received.

How Professor Binckie's Apology for n
Rough Word Was Received.
Professor Blackie was lecturing to a
new class with whose personnel he was
imperfectly acquainted. A student
rose to read a paragraph, his book in
his left hand.
''Sir" thundered Blackie, hold
your book in your right hand"-and us
the student would have spoken-"No
words, sir Your right hand, say"
The student held up his right arm,
ending piteously at the wrist "Sir.
] hae nae right handr' he said.
Before Blackie could open his lips
there arose such storm of misses as
one perhaps must go to Edin burgh to
hear; and by it his voice was over
borne. Then the professor left his
place and went down to the student
he had unwittingly hurt and put his
arm around the lads shoulders and
drew him close, and the lad leaned
against his breast,
My boy said Blackie-he spoke
very softly. yet not so softly but that
every word was audible in the hush
that had fallen on the eclassroom-''my
boy, you'll forgive me that | was over
rough? l did not know-I did not
know He turned to the students,
with a look and tone that came
straight from mis- great heart, he said:
And let me say to you all, am re-
joiced to be shown | am teaching a
class Of gentlemen"
Scottish lads can cheer as we'll as
hiss, and that Blackie learned.

Two Farmers In a Dispute About a Far

Two Farmers In = Dispute About a Fam
lily of the Animals
Farmer Dan Warren lives near
Hagan's Pond, Sullivan county, New
York, and bear and four cubs come
out of the woods and feed in his
meadow. He had not raised gun to
them, and he chuckles as he looks at
the furry youngsters. Farmer Wood
is his neighbor, does not like bear,
and when he started to bring in
the cows few days ago
and met the youngsters and
their mother he let his dog fly
at them and get killed. Wood got his
rife, and, when he missed that big
bear she chased him all the way into
the back kitchen. Then she made
faces at him and trotted back with
her little ones. Wood is afraid to go
after his cows now, and swears he
will kill the bear, and Farmer Warren
just as empatically swears tnat he
will do no such thing. Warren feels
that he has proprietary interest in
the bears, as they feed on his land
He says he wants the cubs to grow
old enough to make fit eating. then he
will kill them himself And Wood is
such a peaceful man that he says he
will move before he fights with his
neighbor.

A good story is going the rounds
about Mayor J. X. Dempsey or ex-
Alderman William Rees, but which of
the two to fasten the joke on to is
question. When the dispute came up
the other night at the Lottie Collins
show between the pair of Irish
rogers" on the stage and the man in
the audience who loaned them his high
silk hat by request, only to see one Of
them smash il in before his eyes, many
people were fearful of trouble when the
man in the audience grew angry and
demanded damages, While the racket
was going on Messrs Dempsey and
Rees went out and were shortly after
ward seen at the side door where it is
said they called the pair of actors out
and one gave them - to pay for the hat
and save all trouble Adam Kuptz says
they can't see yet where this laugh
comes in.

PRUNING THE GRAPE.

Jabez Fisher of Fitchberg, the we'll known GU tivator of fine fruit, gave dis course at Boston, before the meeting of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, the substance of which we give in con- densed form. He purchased his first vine a Concord, 40 years ago. Ten years afterward he had an enormous crop, four and half tons upon three-fourths of an acre, which sold at high price. Suc- cess with grape-growing at present de- pended circumstances, and if person had vineyard well situated and in good condition, he would advise growing the best possible product.
 His experience taught him that the best soil is a strong one, inclining to clay but not too heavy, with good drainage. Shelter is useful. A field in fit condi- tion fo~ corn is also suitable for grape vines. No training is necessary the first year. As soon as the leaves fall the vine should be cut down, leaving two or three buds only. The second year 8 single stake to each vine is sufficient, The pruning of the second year is similar to the first. A permanent support should be provided the third year, whether trellis, stakes or otherwise, as preferred. The object is to grow single strong cane. When the length of six feet is at, Galned CnlS cane SnOuIu De stopped Dy
 pinching off the point. All laterals that
 grow from this cane should be pinched
 so close that they may not divert growth from it. If it makes a growth of five to six-sixteenths of an inch in diameter, it will be safe to allow it to fruit foI
 half it's length, and it should be cut back to that point at the fall pruning. If
 less vigorous, the whole should be cut away as in previous years.
 Fruiting too soon injures vine ser iously. If the vines are six feet apart
 they may fruit one cane and grow a new one, cutting out the one that has
 borne fruit If twelve feet distant, two
 arms may be fruited of six feet each and
 two new canes produced to replace those fruited. This will require year or two
 more to reach full bearing. Each vine
 may be allowed to carry as many clus. ters of fruit as there are spurs growing from the arm. Each fruiting spur may
 be tied to the trellis or allowed to swing free as in the Kniffin system. The system above described is the renewa system, the vine being, so to say, renew. ed each year and thus kept perpetually young. If the land is in good heart and no other crops are grown upon it no fertilization will be required before the third year, but otherwise 1t should

LITCHFIELD.

A STORE THAT WOULD DO CREDIT TO A
 METROPOLIS.
 Among Litchfield's successful busi- ness men is Ernest l.. Pratt, the jewell CT, whose handsome store in Pratt's block is the pride of it's owner, and in- deed of the whole town. MT Pratt's store would do credit to a city. The furnishings are rich and attractive, and Mir Pratt says that he carries everything in the jewelry line from a diamond to 16-cent chain. MT Pratt, although 8 young man, is an expert in the jeWelry business. He served his apprenticeship under F. A. Shepard, formerly of Litch- field, entering in his employ in 1882. On June 8, 1887, MT Pratt embarked in business for himself under the firm name of Pratt & Gannung, but for three years back he has conducted business alone. Litchfield being the county seat, MT Pratt naturally draws trade from all over the county. He keeps his stock fresh and bright, and allows no cobwebs or dust to hide his stock of jewelry. MT Pratt's right hand man and clerk is w. $. Fem, who has been with him some time. It is said that MT Pratt has the finest jewelry store in Litchffeld county. Last December, Mir Pratt leased the store adjoining his and opened up a stock of toys and holiday goods. and this has become permanent feature of his business. Quite novelty in this de- partment are souvenirs of Litchfield, ir the way of plates, cups, etc., with pie lures of Litchfield buildings on them These are in demand by the city people MT Pratt is business man of to day. He believes keeping a stock that cannot be surpassed and in selling goods at reasona ble prices. Polite and considerate treat ment also feature that has done mucf to contribute to MT Pratt's success il | business.

THE BLUE BIRD.

Ohi what fill of happiness the blue bird al
 ways brings, Although his notes are few there's much in
 what he sings; He sings them OCT so often it makes a lengthy
 song, A song of love to one he loves that's never in
 the wrong. He seems to say the whole long day, there
 never was wife, That sweetens up existence so, that all is joy
 in life; And when his song is dearest he keeps times
 with his wings, And fails cen then to tell her all his love in
 what he sings She hears it all, this love of his, and all so
 sweetly sung, Yet she never sings an answer to his rapt
 rouS tongue, But utters just the note he loves, it makes
 him wild to hear, And so he does the singing and feels that
 heaven is near. Iris not your love, my dear blue bird, thai
 makes the genial air, Twas not your notes your mate just heard
 that makes all seem so tair; But 'tis the Great Creator, that makes al
 songs e'er sung, Who blesses ev'ry grateful heart, and tunes
 each thankful tongue! -[G. W. Bradley, in Ansonia Sentinel.
