Pears for Market.

4 writer iii the Home Journal gives
list of pears which he regards as of the
highest promise, when all their faults
and excellent points are taken into ac-
count In the first place he mentions
those which are least liable to the dead
ly disease-the blight. Tyson and
scclel are named first; next the Angou-
leme, which is rarely affected. Among
the many Angouleme orchards which
fewer blighted trees than we have seen
of any other kinds. The WINFIELD
would be valuable but for its liability
to this disease; the Bartlett less; the
Anjou still less. Another pear, which
this writer has omitted, has always
been with us remarkably free from
blight. This is the Winter Nelis. This
writer is at loss what kind to plant in
the new orchard which he is about to
commence. but rather favOrs the seckel
above all the rest.
To assist in his decision we cite him
to Il single occurrence, showing the
tickle nature under some conditions. In
an orchard OF six hundred trees of
different varieties, and among them
fifty seckels, these fifty furnished such
an abundant crop eight years ago Of
large and beautiful seckel pears as to
sell in the market for as much money
as all the crop of the rest of the orchard.
The past two or three years these same
trees have been hardly worth picking.
and this year not single specimen has
grown on any of the trees. The treat
ment appears to have had no influence,
for part stands in grass, a part are
handsomely cultivated. some are mulch
ed, some freely pruned and others not
pruned at all; but the fruit last year was
alike worthless on all, and all are now
alike barren.-BaltimOr American.

HUMORING THE GREAT PETER.
How the Sovereign of Wurtcmberg
Carried Ont His Little Joke.

1t seems that the Car, who has deter
mined on retaining his incognito In trav-
cling through Europe, absolutely de-
clined to take up his quarters at the
royal palace at Stuttgart, but insisted
on going to an inn. Having learned Of
this prior to his arrival, the Wurtem-
berg sovereign caused all the hotel and
inn keepers to remove their signs. Over
the principal doorway of his palace he
had huge sign hung ont stating that
within there was cheer for man and
beast at cheap prices, and that the
name of the hotel was Konigsbau.
On the Cars carriage and retinue
entering the city the positions, previ-
ously instructed by the Wurtemberg
officials, drove straight to the palace.
and there, standing at the main en-
trance, was the sovereign, fat, burly,
and joyial, arrayed in the traditional
costume of boniface, with white apron
and cap, ETC., while the various prin-
cesses, princes, mobiles, and dignitaries
of his court were coStumed as walters,
and mattresses, ostlers. and other SER
wants. Peter the Great, greatly anus
ed at this witty and kindly maner of
humoring his wishes, entered thorough
ly into the spirit of the joke, which WAS
kept up until the following day. when
he proceeded on his Journey. Noticing
that the position mounted on the wheel
er of his travelling carriage was a man
of singularly unkempt appearance, his
clothes ragged and covered with mud,
he made remark to one Of his attend
ants that there was at least no mistake
as TO the social condition of that man,
and that there could be no danger OF
his being q nObleman in disguise. And
yet, when at the end of the first stage,
the position came to the carriage door
to receive his gratuity and raised the
cap from his head, the Car to his as
constituent recognized in him the heir
to the Wurtemberg throne. who had
assumed this disguise for the purpose
of speeding his fathers Imperial guest.
