HELP GAME TOO LATE.
Sad Suicide of a Depressed New York
Cloakmaker.


New York, Jan. fS.-Charles Roths-
child, 30 years old, of 42o Hart street,
Brooklyn, committed suicide Saturday
morning by throwing himself from the
eighth floor of the Cable building at
Broadway and Houston street through
the air shaft to the basement. Roths-
child's wife was on the fourth floor of
the building at the time and saw her
husbands body shoot downward
through the shaft, and, recognizing the
upturned face of her husband, became
so wildly hysterical that she had to b,.
removed to the New York hospital in
an ambulance.
Rothschild, who was a cloakmaker by
trade, had been in business for num-
Der of years. He lost money, however,
and Is months ago he closed his bust
ness. For number of weeks he had
been in very much depressed con-
dition. Rothschild left his house in
Brooklyn Saturday morning aud
started for New York. The first de-
livery of mail which came after he was
gone contained letter which Offered
him an opportunity of employment,
and his wife. knowing its importance,
followed him directly 10 New York and
went to the Cable building. She had
traced him as far as the office of Feisen-
held & Hirschbern, cloak dealers, who
told her they were certain he was still
in the building, and il was while leav-
ing their Office and passing the window
of the shaft that she saw the body of
her husband shoot downward toward

windmill. and other Not ors.

In days long ago, and when many o.
us were young, the only motive power
known that could be generally EN-,
ployed was obtained from windmills
With the introduction of other motors
wind power has been allowed to go tc
waste Recently, however, attention
has been drawn TO the value of this
motor in our garden operations. We
frequently find, in climates where rains
are i'm measure irregular. that the flow
of water at our hands would be desir
able, and windmills are just the thing
for getting this remedy to cur hands
In like manner, motors may be con
structed by the aid of currents of wa
ter flowing through our gardens, and
in many other ways we might avail
ourselves of the motive forces of ma,
ture which we find everywhere around
us and going TO waste. Very much
more might be accomplished in this line
than we have already expressed.-Mee.

How to Perform the Operation and How

The common apple is grown almost
entirely by what is termed root-graft-
ing, although it may be grown by bud
ding and cleft-grafting. Root-graft-
ing is done during winter as fol-
lows:
Seedlings which are dug in autumn,
and packed in moss or sawdGst in cold
cellar, are taken as needed TO warm
room and the seions grated upon them
just below the collar; that is, the place
where the root and the top are joined.
The kind of graft made is here illus
trated. showing the successive stages

Early in the spring they should be

tant to plant the scion deep. so as TO en-
courage ii TO throw out roots, as the trees
are then more hardy than when they
depend entirely upon the Seeding root
for support. Great care should be taken
to have the soil very firm and solid
around the base of the root and at the
union. This may be secured in several
ways. Some nurserymen attain this
end by the use of large dibber, hav-
ing a guard on the side to prevent its
going too deep. With this hole is
made sufficiently wide and deep to per-
init the insertion of the graft easily so
that not more than one or two buds
project above the ground. To do this
work most expeditiously the gratis
should be of the same length and free
from side branches.
Two persons should work together

who carries the gratis. The man

makes hole with the dibber, the boy
puts in q graft; when the man imme-
diately makes another hole by the side
of and two inches away from that con-
tanning the graft, and, pressing for
ward the graft, packs the soil firmly
around it. After each row is finished
in this way, the man should turn back
OIL the row and press firmly by the side
of each graft with the ball of the
foot.
Another method of planting root
gratis, which is as applicable for plant.
ing cuttings on a small scale, is as fol
lows. 1t is not fast method, but very
excellent one for a few CRAFTS. The
thoroughly plowed land is smoothed oft
line stretched and walked where the
row is to come, and then thrown to one
side. With a spade throw out furrow
along the line, leaving the edge straight
and smooth. Against this place the
gratis, and then, with a hoe turned bot
tom up, push little earth against the
lower part of the root of each graft
and afterward draw three inches of soil
into the furrow around the CRAFTS and
then press firmly against each graft
with the ball of the foot. Fill the
tire nch full, and repeat the footing pro-
cess again. A more expeditions way IS
to pillow out furrow instead of max
ing it with spade, and then fill the
trench with pillow. In this way the
work may be successfully done if the
soil is not dry, and the season is favor
able. But it pays well to do good work,
end where one has only few hundred OF
thousand gratis to plant, the spade
method is most certain. In planting IL
dry time, the great key to success Is
to have the land firm and solid around
the root and the union so that there will
be no air space. This is very impor-
tant. In two or three years from the
root-grafting the trees will be large
enough to be transplanted to the orch
ard.-Farm and Fireside.
