What is 1t that so Enthusiastically distin-
Euishes the Parisienne from every other
Eell-dressed woman on the streets?
Why is It that even an American, when
she has been here a week, is able to say:
rThere goes an American. 1 can tell
she's not French" Certainly, to be
conveniently vague, the Frenchwoman
has an air, a something. that the Amer
lean never carries with her, not this side
bf the Atlantic. Possibly it Is that she
feels slightly out of her element, and
puietly slips into seconC place, after q
few days fruitless struggle to be first.
For the Trenchwoman will never yield
her the palm ''Oh, yes" she will say.
hdiferently, when you question her
On the subject, undoubtedly the Amer
leans dress well, very we'll" Butwhen
Eou know her little longer you dis
rover that she secretly despises not only
The Americans dress, but the English
woman's as well-in fact, everything
that Is not French and emanating from
the French capital.
But while we must in all Justice ac-
cord to the Parisienne the first place in
this respect, one wonders wherein lies
the secret of her charm. Is it the way
she walks? Undoubtedly that has
something to do with it. 1t is not posi-
lively because of her dainty French
boots. For those are an utter Illusion,
never seen outside of the carriage and
the home. On the street she wears
broad, sensible and what an American
would call decidedly ugly boots. But
she is fine walker. Is It on account
of the bewildering mass Of colors in
which she ofttines bedeck herself? To
the American they often seem bit too

Capt. Donaldson said: "That is the

verified. The fight in which we got it
occurred shortly after ten o'clock this

THE NATURAL AGE OF FRUIT TREES

The natural life of fruit trees is
matter hard to determine in these
days. Insects and fungus diseases
that were not known in the early his
tory of the country cause the death of
trees at a very early age. The peach
tree is commonly supposed to be the
shortest lived of all the trees; vet
fifty or moro years ago there were
many peach trees thirty and forty
years old. They were grown on land
full Of mineral plant food and the
peach borer had not been introduced.
We remember some of these old peach
trees that had large trunks, with a
comparatively small and high top.
These trees had probably never been
pruned, and the peaches were grown
on limbs each year farther away from
the ground. Trees that grow from
seed are longer lived than those that
are grated. There is very seldom en-
tire harmony in growth between the
stock and scion, and this difference
tends to shorten the life of the tree.
There are yet some old apple trees
eighty to 100 years old with sound
trunks, and likely to live many years.
There were no apple borers when these
trees were young, and those which
come now seek the tender bark of
young trees. These old trees are all
natural fruit and mostly of poor quail
ity. No trees that can be planted
new and run the gauntlet of insect
enemies can be expected to live as
long, but their shorter lives may be
more valuable. Boston Cultivator.

PRUNING EVERGREEN HEDGES.

When evergreen plants are first
placed in the hedge row they should
receive light pruning, or enough to
give something like the form intended
for the future hedge. Prune off the
leading shoots to On even height, and
straighten the sides, for all this clip
ping will be of benefit to the newly set
plants. In our opinion, one pruning
in season is as much as evergreens
will bear in our hot, dry climate.
This annual pruning should always be
done in early spring, before the new
growth of the season commences, then
all the buds remaining will start evenly
and be in condition to resist the heat
of summer. The best form for ever
green hedges is an oval brought to a
sharp point at the top, for if left
broad and flat at the top. SHOWS are
sure to lodge on it and crush and
break down many Of the plants.
Where there are no SHOWS in the
winter or very light furries, other
forms of hedges may be admissible,
although the oval. or egg-shape is
really the most beautiful anywhere. -
