the background as possible, and here
and there picking out bit for the
walls. Passy had not dealt with this
morrow he would go through 1t more
attentively, and make a definite clear
ance of what was not wanted
The lines upon which his wants would
be likely to proceed were hardly clearer
than they had been yesterday, but the
fact no longer possessed any urgency.
What was of much more value than his
studio furniture and. waste, Mole had
left a cheerful and comprehensive i'm
pulse toward optimism, which con-
tinued to warm and brighten the place.
Oddly enough. Mole mentioned Incl
dentally that he was leaving England
because he was broken hearted, or
something like that; but If this were
true, then he had marvellous talent
for keeping his emotions in separate
bulkhead compartments. so to speak,
for Passy had got nothing but high
spirits and gay confidence from con-
tact with him. A casual suggestion
from their talk had taken certain
root in Passy's mind. 1t had to do with
the possibility of lectures on the arts
in general, illustrated by .lantern-slide
views of objects, places, ateliers, and
the like. Perhaps there was something
in the idea, and Passy had gone so far
as to get out some hundreds of mega
tive films, and assert them, and think
of making prints for them il there
was ever any real daylight In London,
But if that project came to naught,
then some other would fructify. 1t was
all right. He smiled again, and rolled
another cigarette.
Anoise which had seemedto be apart
of the winds general racket repeated
itself at the door, and caught his car.
Something like hurricane was blowing
outside, and there We're streaming
splashes of rain upon the glass now as
well. The sound came again. 1t was
hard to make sure whether 1t belonged
to the storms hubbub or not, but after
a moment Passy's zeal as a new pro-
prietor triumphed, and he went to the
door.
1t opened into little passage. de-
sCending in three steps to the outer
door which gave upon the street pave
ment. When he drew back the spring
bolt of this latter a tremendous swoop
of rain laden wind on the instant flung
him backward, with the door banged
upon him. A figure of some sort was
swept into the passage by the same
violent propulsion, and when he turned
from finally mastering and securing
the door. 1t was to note that this some-
body had ascended the steps and en-
tered the studio.

NEWLY DUG TREES.

According to Vick's Magazine, more
than one-half of the failures in get
ting a "stand" Of. any kind of fruit
are the result of careless digging and
neglect while the roots are out of theil
native element. There is no class o.
planters who do their work 50 rapidly
and with such seeming carelessness as
nurserymen, yet their losses are com
paratively small, simply because they
know that the proper place for roots is
in the earth, and take every precau'
ton to make their condition when out
of the earth as similar to the natural
one as possible. In the earth the
roots are moist, and subject to very
slow variations of temperature, and
are also in darkness. AS usually han

night, with the thermometer at q
degrees the next morning, to stay or

old farmer to keep load of cherry
and peach trees on his wagon in the
barn for a week without any sort O

THREE BIG PREMIUMS.

This year we offer three big premiums. One
ia q SEVENTY-FIVE DOLLAR BUGGY.
Another is q SEVENTY-FlVE DOLLAR OK,
GAN. and the third Is FIFTY DOLLAR
WAGON. The Buggy will go to the clubmaker
who gets up the largest list Of subscribers, new
and old. The Wagon will go to the clubmaker
who gets up the second largest list, new and and
whose total list shall show up the largest
number of NEW NAMES. The organ contest,
however, will be separate and distinct from
the other contest, in that the winner OF this
premium will still have the right to count his
entire club, including both old and new
names, in the contest for the Buggy or Wagon.
To be more explicit. 1t is possible that the
clubmaker who gets the Organ, may also be
the winner Of either the Wagon or the Buggy,
n is also possible that the Organ may be won
with less than 20 names, together with one
of the smaller premiums.

I wish you would inform me through
the columns of your valuable paper
when is the best time to transplant the
common water oak and white ash
Also, how to transplant.-F. E. Maybin,
Frank, s. G.
The best time to transplant any tree
is in the fall of the year, after growth
has entirely ceased, and the tree has
become absolutely dormant. tits then
comparatively insensible to the neces'
sary cutting of its roots and branches
1t knows nothing. so to speak, of its
removal, because it is asleep. In the
spring it only discovers that it has
been kidnapped, and experiences some
shortness of breath by reason of its
pruned roots and branches, but soon
makes the best of the situation and
goes ahead, growing. The main rea'
son why transplanting in the fall is
best is contained in the above re-
marks. If the work is deferred until
spring, the earliest action of the roots
which occurs long before the end o
frost, is interfered with. With many
trees, root growth becomes active be-
fore there is any sign of vegetation on
the tree above. The removal of the
tree during this period defers and
weakens this first effort of the tree
which may involve its life.
Shortening in the top of treee in
transplanting is a matter of the first
Importance, and the neglect of it &C
counts for the loss of many trees, OF
for the slow and unsatisfactory growth
The roots and top should be cut back
in about the same proportion with
such trees as the water oak, or the
top made smaller than the roots
When the roots are necessarily cut
and the tree transferred to new quar-
ters, it is plain that the shortened
roots cannot perform their natura
functions as early as they would other
wise, and that they cannot for some
time at least, send up food for the
tree above to any appreciable extent
A new root system has to be formed
and during the time taken for this
there must not be much demand fol
nourishment by the tree above the
ground, else the roots will fail to
supply it. Herein lies the importance
of close pruning the top. With young
fruit trees, the rule should be to take
of the entire top, leaving nothing ol
The trunk but straight stick two OF
three feet high. The roots should be
cut smooth and we'll spread out.
Dig holes for trees amply sufficient
to contain all the roots lett upon them
and in all cases, at least three feet in
diameter and two feet deep. Fill in
and plant the roots in top soil. Buck.
cts of water poured violently into the
hole while filling in will better settle
the earth among the roots than can be
done by packing with the feet. Trees
as rule, should be set slightly deeper
in the ground than they grew before
being removed.
1t is a great mistake to manure q
newly set tree with stable manure or
other heat generating substance
Ashes, lime, bones and woods earth
are the best fertilizers for trees. Sta
ble manure has killed many newly
set tree.
We are not aware of any reason
why these principles and rules should
be varied with the water oak and
white ash.-Cotton Plant.

THE DOCTORS WITNESS.

A certain physician, who shall be
nameless, once brought suit against q
man who had been his patient, for the
recovery of the amount of fees charged
in his bill. The patient pleaded, in
defence, that the doctor had visited
him many times after he was entire
ly we'll, or at least, after he-the
patient-had declared that he did not
need him. He was willing to pay fol
those visits which had been made while
he was really sick, but not for visits
which had been persistentlv made af-
ter he was just the same as we'll. He
had been blessed with the attendance
of q good and faithful nurse, who
could have carried him safely through
his convalescence, and to whom, he
really believed, he owed his recovery
Upon this the doctor chuckled glee'
fully. Said he:
"Your honor, I will prove by this
mans own nurse, of whose faithfulness
he boasts, that she considered him not
entirely out of danger at the time OF
which he speaks.
The nurse was summoned, and she
made her appearance, and was sworn.
She was a widow of middle age.
"Mrs. Blinker, you attended the de-
fendent in this case during his recent
illness ?"
She answered that she did.
Then the plaintiffs attorney took
her in hand.

condition Of the patient from the 18th
to the 25th day of April past?"
eyes, sir, remember very WE'LL"
"And did you not think that, during
that time, he required the attendance
of a physician ?"
81 did not, sir"
GLOW! Did you not say more than
once, during that very time, he requir'
ed the attendance of physician ?"
ayes, sir, I said that"
"And you now tell US that he re-
quired no physician I don't under
stand you"
"Well, sir" said Mrs. Blinker, with
q firm steadtast look, ~ think I can
explain it. I said that man was in
danger, because 1 consider any man
to be in danger while that doctor was
giving him medicine !'-Philadelphia
