BILE. When it is hot it is very hot.
Some time, between March and octo-
Der, there is continuous spell of hot
weather that causes an increase in
profanity. Then it is hot, hotter, hot
test, Hottentot, Hottentotter, Hottetot-
est, hot as one oven, hot as two ovens,
hot as - blazes. In the dog days the
New York weather is beastly.
We have to contend with three dis
tinct brands OF heat, and, consequently,
the mean temperature is very mean in
deed. First of all there is the direct
heat that comes straight from the
bright orb that hangs resplendent in
the blue vault above. This is rein
forced by the reflected heat from the
paved streets and the rock and brick
houses. But the most insidious and
the kitchens under the sidewalks. 1t
is aromatic with the flavor of fried on
ions and other tempting viands. When
all these different heats are saturated
with eighty-fve per cent. of humidity,
you feel as if breaths of fresh air were
being sold at auction, and everybody
was outbidding you.
The next thing to be done is to get
out of town as suddenly as possible.
Those who do not keep their elbows
perfectly straight are apt to get sun
struck, hence there is an old-fashioned
exodus whenever it is sultry.
There is any nnmber Of inland re-
sorts in the vicinity of New York, but
the fact is that while they are destitute
of the comforts and conveniences of a
large city, the temperature is not much
lower, so the average Gothamite makes
a bee line for the Atlantic ocean, where
it is always cool and refreshing. In
other words, he goes to Coney Island
in which term are included the resorts
of Manhattan beach, Brighton and

Judging by the number of arrests thai
are made for violating the excise law
and some other laws.
Manhattan beach consists Of a large
hotel, a splendid music pavilion, batl
house, a bicycle track, and that is abou

When Benjamin Harrison was presi-

Washington, and throughout the entire

more than ordinary ability, and Of
genial presence; but he often presumed
upon the fact that his father was chief
magistrate of the republic. That was
quite natural, of course, but the young
man was severely criticised and often
ridiculed in the newspapers, many of
them referring to him as prince Russ, "

This breed is practically unknown in
this country. It is in every respect so
totally unlike the kind Of hog which it
is the ambition of the American swine

The explanation Of their popularity
lies in their thin, long bodies, which
supply great quantities Of well-streaked
bacon, the inevitable dish at every Eng
lish breakfast table. Indeed, in the

without a rival save the improved

Cotton, oil and stocks have had their

scalp the market daily and know the

bowed before the bull storms, and
when there were outside orders in the

operators realized the futility OF try
ing to follow out ordinary influences
which the mad rush Of buying kept up.
The bears ran like sheep in storm.
In fact, the speculative public may be
said to have owned the wheat markets

vate wires in all directions were kept

time that the breeders and feeders
were beginning to comprehend that
success in hog raising can no longer be
obtained under the methods Of long

{ bred assto enable it to turn the im-s
mense crops Of grain into meat in the

of swine feeding. The hog should al
ways have the sweetest Of foods,

two meals a day, should never be over
fed nor und derfed, should have fresh
water at all times, should have shell

swine In Large Numbers.

1 Where swine are kept in large num-
bers they are very likely to be confined
zin.very close quarters, with no regard
for cleanliness and pure air. One who
recently visited a distillery where q
great lotof hogs were kept to be fat
tened upon the waste products, gives q
description suggestive Of the "b]ack
hole of Calcutta. - The fetid atmos-
.phere seemed to torture the swine, and
the visitor would have tainted but for
q speedy exit. This was an exceptional
condition, but in all cases where filth
is prevalent and the air infected there
must be more or less faint to the meat,
even If disease does not appear. But
hogs SO osdeveloped are very liable to be
infested with some dangerous disease
and parasites, and those who eat them
as food do SO with peril to health.
The swine should be fed as pure food
as other animals, and all their condi-
tons recognize sanitary laws. Ss4

ally made Of limbs and the top of the
trunk is, to my mind, a very foolish;
proceeding. A much better plan is to
exercise more care and effort in taking
up the, tree, taking up a big bunch Of
the earth with the fine roots undis-=
turbed. It is the fine rootlets that
feed the tree, and it is the loss Of these
that so often causes the tree to die after
transplanting. The forcible removal
of q tree from the ground is almost
sure to tear off all these rootlets It
is best to begin some distance out from
the tree, and to cut the turf carefully
around it, digging down with caution
so as not to cut off any important
roots. When these are found they
should be carefully followed out
for considerable distance and loos-
ened from the soil. The most inn
portant care, however, is in getting
up big ball Of earth with the tree,
and this is accomplished by digging.
down about and under the tree. This
requires some work, but if a tree Is
worth transplanting it isworth while to
make some effort to give ita good start.
! In Its new location. The accompany
ing Illustrate shows q most conven-
ientsway to handle q tree after it has
been properly dug about. "A pair Of
wheels, with a. tongue, has a piece of
joist lashed beneath it. The end of the
tongue, or pole. is then raised high in
the air and the end Of the joist attached
to chain that has been passed be-
meath the tree in, two or more direc-.
tions. When the pole is brought down.
the tree is raised from its position and
can be gently bent forward to the axle,
secured there, and carried off to it's
new location. ~ E IL =
.. Before being taken away, however,
lit will be well to wrap the ball Of
earth in old burlap to keep the
earth from shaking off and disturbing
the small roots. Carried away with
wheels after this fashion, the tree can
be carefully dropped into the cavity
provided for it with the least possible
jarring. After the loose earth has
been carefully packed in about all the
exposed roots,a q generous coat Of mulch
should be applied, and some pruning Of
the top made, but not a severe pruning,
Z by any means, Whatever wood is re.
moved should be in the line Of giving
the tree q well proPortioned head.
Transplantedi in this way trees ought
to live and grow thriftily, and my ex-.
perience has been that they will do go.
