New Facts About Trees.

1t seems to be we'll understood that
a man is taller at morning than at
night, but it has remained for a young
woman named Fry to discover that
the boughs of trees hang much higher
in winter than in summer. Doubtless
the low hang of the summer is be-
cause of the weight of the leaves, but
j. is surprising thing that the differ
erce is so great as reported by Miss
Fry. She found a certain branch of a
mulberry tree was thirty-one inches
higher in December than in August,
and weight of thirty-five pounds was
not enough to make the bough assume
its August attitude in December. -Ex-

When the Present Treaty with Japan
Expires.

When the Present Treaty with Japan
Expires.
A serious question which our mer-
chants, who have invested in Japan
will have to face before long, is as to
what will be done when the revised
treaty with the United States enters
into effect, that is, on and after July 16,
1899. From that time American citi-
zens will be placed under Japanese jur-
isdiction, since the ex-territorial clause
of the existing treaties is abrogated.
It. is not a pleasant prospect for those
whom business or interests will COM
pei to remain. It is not only that the
codes are not completed, and the ju-
dietary is necessarily inexperienced;
the spirit of reaction which prevails in
Japan, and is proudly acknowledged
by their own official writer's, together
with the decided anti-foreign feeling
which is, manifested with unpleasant
frequency, renders the outlook ex-
tremely gloomy.--R., Van Bergen in
the illustrated American.

struction Of such hotbed is the subject
of an illustrated description by Charles
A. Long, in American Gardening:
The location should be one that will
admit of drainage from the excavation
that is made to hold the manure. To
have a bed that acts as a catch basin
for water in case of heavy thaw or a
rainfall is too risky. II the bed be also
sheltered by an evergreen or other wind
break, it means much in retention Of
heat. First provide sufficient space for
the heating material. Referring to the
cut, shows hotbed 8 feet wide and the
space around should not be less than 8
feet, and in the north even 4 feet
would be no mistake; in depth, Q feet
below the surface is about right. This
calls for large stock of manure, but
the manure not only gives a complete
and paying bed, but it Is afterward on
hand for enriching the garden.
The foundation is a matter of impor-
lance that the bed may retain an exact
position without reference to the set
Ting Of the manure, In the case illus
trated the foundation consists Of oak
stakes 81 feet in length, driven into
the ground to a depth of about Q feet.
For four sash bed use IL stakes Ga in
the sketch). These are driven home and
capped by plank ripped into three
pieces, 5 or 6 inches wide and as long
rs the bed is to be- The frame is set
upon these planks as shown. Within
this frame is bottom made of 1 inch
rough boards which rest on the strips,
and on this is placed the soil. Thus is
the bed firm and will last for at least
ten years. To prevent heaying OF tho
stakes previous to making up time in
winter, some manure may be piled
around the base of each.
In making the bed, remove the sash
and the board bottom, then fill in the
manure evenly over the entire excava-
ton C, tramping it uniformly and firm
ly. Under the frame itself the manure
Is to be brought up to the top OF the
strips that rest on the stakes Indeed, it
may be brought several inches higher,
counting on the boards and the soil to
press it down to its proper place. Out
side the frame the manure is to be piled
TO make a slope from the sash to the
ground level The slope Of the hotbed
itself should always be toward the south
that is, the sash exposed to the sun
In order to preserve as much heat as
possible no better means can be employ
ed than shutters covering the manure as
shown in the engraving. These are
made of three-fourths inch stuff secured
with clinch nails to cross Stats. They
should be made of a size convenient to
handle. If, after the heat be somewhat
spent, any difficulty be found in keeping
up the temperature desired, the shutters
may be removed, some of the lining
thrown out and fresh manure put in its
place.
Protection against cold must be given
In the shape of sash covers. Straw mats
are much used, but best gardeners prefer
wooden shutters The main reliance as
heating material for a hotbed is strawy
horse manure or mixture of this and
other fresh manure. Forest leaves are
excellent to mix with the manure, as
they decay slowly, tending to prolong
fermentation and also to make the heat
ing more uniform.

Attractive Women.

Why Ia one woman attractive and another

about attractive woman is her womaniness.
Everybody admires womanly woman. She

Real health must mean that q woman is really

Directions For Draining and Esillzing tn,
Waste Water.

Waste Water.
Much Of New England, New York
and Pennsylvania Is either hilly land
OF, if fiat, has hills and mountains
back of its level portions. In these
mountains part of the surplus water
comes down in streams and brooks on
the surface, and still other parts sink
into the soil to reappear in the lower
side hills or on the level lands below
The amount of water seeking these I'M
foreground c)nduits Is much larger than
is commonly supposed, says American
Cultiyator authority for the following:
1t is not the natural water fall on the
lower hillsides that obliges the farmer
to undcrdrain them. 1t Is the water that
comes from still higher land, and per
colating through the soil, meets some
obstruction lower down and breaks out
into a clear spring of water. Sometimes
these springs are natural siphons. Then
the flow is intermittent. But not many
springs are of this character, and their
sources are generally where they cannot
well be got at.
Sometimes springs that were good
when the country was new for an un-
failing supply of water gradually fail
until they only supply water for few
spring months. 1t may be in such cases
that the source of these springs was near
by and affected by the local conditions
which clearing of the land about the
spring involves But in far more cases.
In New England at least, the spring fails
because blowing and cultivation have
oompacted the water courses near the
surface, and the underground streams
have gone down to still lower water
courses. In such cases digging hole OF
well three to ten feet deep, where the
old spring was, will disclose it, and the
water, being lower down, will be better
and less subject thereafter to changes.
failing spring water may generally be
found by digging down. Thousands OF
farmers whose stock is suffering for
lack of water can secure the very best
supply if they know where to sink ponds
for this purpose.
If the outflow below be interrupted or
shut off, advantage may be taken OF
such springs to make series of ponds
excellent for growing trout or other fish.
If possible, let the water flow under
ground between the ponds with screens
at the upper entrance of each pond to
keep the fish from one pond passing to
others above or below. This is probably
for the farmer who owns such springs
the best use he can make of them.
When this succession of ponds ia
extended down to low, level land, there
will need to be pond larger and deeper
than any other, into which will be de-
posted much Of the soil brought down
by surface streams or in the steep and
swift underdrains from the soil above.
This silt basin will be especially neces-
sary if the drains from the upper spring
are not interrupted by silt ponds.
