Revenge.



From ole Of our fashionable suburbs
comes a TILE Of revenge that would make a
Sioux Indian turn green with envy. A
young man just home from an eastern coll
lege invited young lady of the village to
a Sunday morning ride on his tandem BIZ
cycle. She was delighted, and would. OF
course CO. and she could scarcely walt TO
carry the news to her particular girl
friend, who. il happened had heretofore
occupied the front seat on that same tan
dem. Then the plot was laid.
How nice" said her chum. Have you
a bicycle suit? Why not wear mine? Don't
you think this will look lovely?"
Now, the garment exhibited happened to
be bathing suit of pronounced colors and
unique design. but as the first young lady
had never been in sight of salt water, ana
being Of a guileless nature, anyhow, the
bunco game worked to perfection.
The young mans breath suddenly left
him that Sunday morning when his COM
panion came out ready to mount, but that
was nothing compared to the panic they
created along the route Pious matrons on
their way to church threw up both hands
and prayed fervently and the male popula-
ton on the streets stopped spellbound and
watched them out Of sight The young
man had little to say. but 1t Is claimed he

Old Jack Benn, section hand on the Long
Island railway, threw down his tools at the
close of a summers day recently. and with
a fervent Thank God I'm through with

Long Island.
Old Jack was seemingly dazed and no
wonder. for shortly after noon of that day
Ia" yers IN fine clothes had visited him on

and while he was wondering what all this
irlendhnesS meant from such fine folks
they had told him that the will of his uncle.

and that he had been left a fortune of
sl2h'HH. He could not realize all that that

London Letter
1t Is evident that Princess Maud, who is
to marry Prince Carl of Denmark, will not
lack for means of locomotion when she Is
married. The parents Of the bride and the
aristocracy having begun presenting their
gifts to the young bridal couple, they are
now being followed by the numerous towns,
counties. shires and guilds. Among the
presents received there are up to now not
less than forty-eight ladies' bicycles, for 1t
is known that Princess Maud is an enthu-
siastic wheewoman. There are wheels of
almost every class, make and of the most
varying constructions and executions some
adorned with engravings and others with
inscriptions. Besides the wheels, the prin-
cess is the recipient of several dozen motor
carriages, some driven by steam, others by
petroleum motors. compressed air and cleo
tricity. Since the exhibition of wedding
presents is still fashionable in aristocratic
England, the show of Princess Maud's we'd
ding gifts will look very much like a cycle
show or an exhibition Of motor carriages.

GRAPE CULTIVATION.
How 10 Care for the Vines So as TO Scr
Fair ProHt.

How 10 Care for til Vines So as TO SCI
cure a Fair Profit.
] In an address before a New York
farmers institute. ". I. Tabor, of Lake
View fruit farm, said on the above sub
jeet.
First, we shall properly grow the vine
that il be vigorous and healthy. not an
ayergrowth of cane by furnishing too
much nitrogen in the form of stable
manure, but with sufficient potash and
phosk horic acid 20 harden the cane and
perfect the bud. Assuming that you are
trimming your vines upon what is
known as the Knitfin system with four
arms, let me say to You that we have
changed our system so that we only use
the two upper arms and grow all our
grapes upon these arms.
Why have we changed and what mas
been the result? We observed that
much the larger proportion of marketa-
bic grapes We're grown upon the upper
arms, and as it was marketable grapes
we wanted, we removed the lower arms.
Now in order to get the amount or guam
tity necessary we left upon this single
cane which constituted the arm upon
each side of the main vine a greater
number of buds which distributed the
/ new growth over more surface, pre-
venting the overcrowding of fruit upon
the vine. We leave upon two arms 10 to
IA buds each.
The summer pruning consists in re-
moving, after the fruit is set, the cling
ers and seconds and afterwards the lat
erals, and clipping off the fruit-bearing
shoots at the third or fourth leaf beyond
the 1ruit. excepting one good cane hear
est the head of the vine. which is left for
the fruit bearing cane for the next year.
We also remove the poor clusters and
never have over three clusters upon a
shoot, and usually two, and on some
only one.
There will then remain upon the vine
from 35 to 40 or more clusters, and
think it will pay to remove still more,
not having over 80 clusters to the vine,
believing as do, that these so clusters,
even if not averaging in weight over 20
pounds to the vine, viii sell for more
money than the 40 clusters weighing 25
pounds, and less expensive in market
ing. ] am after quality in place of
quantity.
What are Indications of high quality
and where do we find it? Like the
peach, the rich bloom upon its surface
is indicative of its quality and you find
this bloom most perfectly developed
upon the largest and finest clusters up
on the vine
BY this method of pruning each clus-
ter hangs in a natural position upon the
vine. independent of each other. are
more compact in their structure and
better developed in their growth.
] believe there are other advantages
that indirectly aid in perfecting the
fruit. These are the free circulation of
the air under the vines and fruit, the
clean surface of the ground affording no
lodgmenr for sporadic or fungous
grcwths, also the ease with which the
vines may he sprayed, the rapidity with
which the fruit may be gathered and
the ease with which the surplus of
growth may be removed in the winter
pruning.

piece of canvas was stretched. This
frame served the important office of
throwing back all those grasshoppers
that otherwise would jump clean over
the pan and throw them INTO the oil.
The runners on which the pan stood
were usually made of saplings or small
pieces of board having an upward curve
in front to prevent them from catching
in the ground. The front ends of the
runners were all fastened by screws to
a cross-piece. which was, in turn, draw N
by two ropes, one at each end. These
ropes We're joined in front and fastened
to single-tree. Sometimes two hop
per-doziers were fastened to a long pole
by means of short ropes; this was very
easily drawn by one horse. Just in
front of the pan was fastened piece of
rope which swept the ground few
inches in advance, and served to stir up
the hoppers and make them jump into
the pans. In the pan was laid piece of
cloth which was first saturated with
water. About pint of kerosene was
then thrown in and the upright sheet
or sail of canvas moistened with oil.
The machine was then drawn over the
pasture, or wherever the hoppers were
thickest. In short time it was usually
seen to be partially filled with dead and
dying insects.
The slightest touch of kerosene,
either from the pan or from the canvas
sheet, means death to the hopper, for
the oil spreads over its body in the
same way that single drop win spread
over large surface of water. It seems
to produce paralysis, which is first
shown by the stiffening of the legs. A
very large proportion of the hoppers
that came in contact with the oil in
the pan Immediately jumped out again.
but they invariably died in the course
of "a few seconds or minutes.
Hundreds of these machines were
made and drawn over the meadows and
pastures, with the result that millions
of the choppers" were killed, and this
work, added TO the fact that the season
was unfavorable to the insects, saved
many crops. Last year we had several
requests from readers in the eastern
states as to how these "hopper-doziers"
are made, and so we print this Informal
ton early in the season.-Rural New
Yorker.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

A moss-covered tree cannot remain
healthy.
It is mistake to set fruit trees in
the garden.
Moss on tree affords hiding place
for insects.
An application of whitewash is good
to remove moss.
To have plenty of fruit you must have
strong canes and to have strong canes
they must have room.
Examine the apple trees for borers
every ten days or two weeks in order to
keep them down.
As soon as the apples begin to fall
from the trees it will be good plan to
turn the hogs into the orchard.
With raspberries and blackberries all
canes that grow outside the direct line
Of tile rows should be treated as weeds
A good rule in pruning is to cut all
dead or disabled wood and every branch
that starts out where it is not wanted
as soor as seen.
The growing canes of raspberries and
blackbcrries do better if they are kept
from becoming too tall, as they are
usually inclined to do.
BY planting few fruit trees Of diff
ferent varieties every year the orchard
need never grow old. and a supply of
fruit may be always kept up.
Trees should be so pruned while
young that the necessity for cutting off
large limbs win be avoided.-St. Louis
Republic.
