THINNING FRUIT.

The Missouri horticultural Society
announces Its creed on the subject Of
thinning fruit as follows:
First-No tree should have more
fruit on it than it can hold up well
and mature to perfection; that is to
say that the trees should not be so
loaded as to require their being
prOpped, or so much that the branches
bend very severely. This checks the
growth of the fruit to such an extent
as to injure the quality.
SecOnd-Every time Il tree has too
much fruit 1t weakens its vitality to
such an extent AS to require two or
three years to recover; or so checks
its growth that it begins to decline
and is permanently injured.
Third-In the production OF an over.
crop 1t costs the tree more to ripcn
the seeds than to make the fruit.
Fourtl-1f from IA tree heavily load.
ed there is taken onc-half or even
thrce-fourths Of the fruit, there will
be more bushels Of fruit than there
would bc If all were left on the tree.
Fifth BY this practice there will
be less poor fruit upon the market,
and the good will bring better prices
and give infinitely better satisfaction.
Sixth-Thlnning makes the fruit Of
much better quality, makes it keep
longer, and produces finer, handsomer,
more attractive and much more dcsir.
able and saleable fruit.
Seventh When orchardists shall
look upon thinning as important as
cultivation, pruning, care and atten.
tiOn they will succeed in supplying
our markets with perfect fruit of the
very best quality, thus increase the
demand, enhance the value, and give
vastly more satisfaction to both pro-
Queer and consumer.

THE WORLDS INCREASING
POPULATION.

New York World.
The astonishing growth OF Europ-
can cities in the last twenty years Is
but part OF a.movement in population
which is general throughout civillzed
countries. 1t is certainly unprece'
cented In history.
In this country the increase OF from
So 900, 900 to 20, 900, 900 in less than two
decades Is paralleled by Germany,
which has increased from 30,OOO,OO
TO 50. 900, 900 since the Franc0-Prussian
war. England shows a like increase,
confined chiefly to the cities. While
Ireland, Italy and Spain are not so
responsive to the movement, it Is for
causes so well understood as to make
their eases seem exceptional to the
rule that the great scientific and
mechanical improvements Of the
century are making it possible for the
world to produce and support a larger
population than was dreamed Of even
by the most pronounced opponents of
Malthusianism In their controversies
with the most ignorant theorists who
believed that the limit OF population
had been reached or was about to be
reached.
According to Mulhall the total pop
ulatlon OF the world in the time Of
Augustus Caesar did not exceed ST..
OOO, 900, so that in the United States
VIC now have more people than the
earth contained when the empire Of
the Caesars was at is greatest.
According to the same authority
the population Of Europe was only
1000, 600 in the flftecth century,
while now it is estimated at over &7,.
900, 900, whose average Of living is far
higher than that Of the age Of Angus
tus or than that OF the fifteenth
century.
1t Is becoming more and more a
self.evident proportion that the in.
crease Of civilization Is not only &c.
companied by, but is dependent on an
increase OF population. And no fact

OF WORDS.
PERTINENT ADVICE IN REGARD TO USE
OF NEWLY COINED WORDS.

The latest addition to the English
language is the word ''bike;" and 1t Is
here to stay, since Queen Victoria has
conferred the title of sergeant bike
man on the fOOtman who taught the
numerous divers princes and p~rincesses
the art Of cycling. From time TO time
words are coined when needed to
tcrsely describe a fact or situation.
About dfty years ago Colcridge DELHI
crately coined the word intensity, be-
cause he required it to express Il GER
tain shade Of meaning. In Spencer's
time, thoroughly" was good English,
but IL has since been suffering from
suspended snimation. Our very use
ful word, 'outsidcr," never saw the
light until Mr.. Polk was nominated
for President. Professor Marsh says
an undue pressure was made upon the
delegates, and some reporter described
it as a pressure from outsiders"
The term filed a long.felt want, and
soon established itself as a constitu-
tiOnal part OF the language, yet Hart
says that 1t had no more real claim
than uppersider, undersider, insider,
left.sider and right.sider. The sculp-
tor, peninsula, suicide, opera and um.
brella, were unknown until the seven.
tcenth century. In the last century
Bentley was criticised for using the
then novel words ~repudiate, c0ncede,
%verngcular, timid and idiom; and
Campbell hesitated about using the
very new words continental, scnti.
mental, originality. c%riminality, ca
pabi,ity and originate. Horace says,
use is the law Of language, whether
of single words, grammatical form, or
grammatical construction" But Pope,
in his Essay on Criticism" gives
some wholesome advice:
I'm words rs fashion, the same rule will hold;
Alike fantastic. II too new, or too Old;
Be not the first by whom the new IL tried,
Nor yet the last to lay the old aside"

PINE TREES FOR PROFIT.

In the autumn Of l849 Mr.. Jewell,
of Winchester, N. H., gathered twelve
bushels OF white pine cones and scat.

part OF the cones would have been
sufficient. AS there are some Atty
seeds IN q cone, o very small part of
them found sufficient shade from the
cones and produced plenty of plants.

years after the scattering Of the cones
