terville, has had wonderful expe-
rience with the roots of a small elm
tree, one of which found its way into
tile drain which conducted waste
water from his residence to an old well
which he used as cesspool. The elm
root entered the tile through a hole the
size of lead pencil and then proceeded
to flourish amazingly. The four-inch
tile was completely filled with fibrous
root for a distance of twenty feet to
the well, and there single root ex-
tended eighteen feet from the opening
of the tile to the water at the bottom
of the we'll. The tree had shown mar
velous growth-the result of obtaining
nourishment in this manner.-Three

Draining Swamp Land.-When a
swamp is wet and water will flow into
any excavation on 1t, 1t is necessary
to go about the work in a careful man
ner to do it as cheaply as 1t may be
done. The work should be begun at
the outlet and section dug out to the
required depth, leaving a barrier to
keep out the water until the digging
is done. Then when the section-say
twenty feet or more-:is dug out, the
barrier is dug out, and the next sec
tion is taken out in the same way.
That is, supposing the swamp is full
Of water, and this does not run off
directly. Going on in this way, the
water being dipped out of each section
as it is dug, the work goes on in the
dry, and with no interference by ae-
cumulating water about the workmen.

Rainfall Varies Little.-A record has
been kept of the rainfall at Paris for
over 200 years. 1t would be interesting
to note it's agreement with the mem
ory of the oldest Parisians. No perma-
nent changes have yet been detected in
the record, but a failure to show the
usual acumen in this connection might
be considered by some as sad deterior-
alton of memory on the part of the Par
isians.

things to learn about marketing honey.
The first thing necessary Is to see that
the honey is carefully sorted. Then it

be the same all through: that is, the
honey should all be Just what 1t ap-

open the glass works of Baker Bros. X Co.,
in this city, on cooperative basis, has been
frustrated by the decision of President
Joseph TrotI, of the Natioual Glassblow

throwing out of employment 100 men
aud as many boys, many OF whom arc
still out of work. 4 committee. represent
ing them has recently been in conference
with Mr. Baker aud he submitted a PROPOSE
ton TO lease the plant to the workmen,
furnish capital, purchase all products OF
the factory at the ruling market prices,
guarantee SIS a week to the skilled enn-
ployesaud divide any profits tsproportionately
among the workmen.
This proposal was well received and there
was much joy among the unemployed over
the prospect of earning somemoney. There
was one drawback, however, and that was
the Glassblowers' Union. rule of that
orgauiza ton insists that each union man
shall not receive less than $50 per week
for his work. The committee sent let
ter to President Troth of the National
Giassb'owers' Associs ton in Philadelphia
aud anxiously awaited reply.
None came to them, but President Troth
wrote TO the local union, stating that If
the unemployed glassblowers should begin
work at the Baker plant on the terms
stated they were TO be considered as non
union workmen, and should he blacklisted.
This decision was blow to the committee,
which yesterday waittsi upon Mr. Baker
