hotel, displayed cne of the cOstliest
if not the costliest Christmas tree
which will be seen the world around.
On this richly laden three were $50
500 gold pieces and nuggets and pres
ents worth $4,000. which brought the
total up to $4,000. East Eear the
man who fixed IN the Christmas tree
dined On Christmas day in the KlOn
dixie off a piece OF cariboo meat, with
the top of d tin lard bucket for a
plate and his fingers serving the pUr-
poses Of knife and fork. The tree
occupies space in the Hotel Lafay-
cite, and those fortunate or Unfortu
nate enough to be allowed to feast
their eyes upon this prodigal display
of wealth were granted permission
by it's owner to sift the $50 gold
pieces through their fin@ers, to lift
double handfuls of gold nuggets, and
guess how much they were worth,
and every visitor carried away lit
tie nugget whether ''the EldoradO
king" had ever seen them before or
not.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Any soil that is too damp naturally
to produce healthy trees should be
avoided.
Vacant places in Il young orchard can
be filled with trees, but not SO with an
old one.
If only well-rotted and thoroughly
lined manure is used the garden can
hardly Ice made too rich.
Lime is Que of the best materials to
apply to get rid Of the white grub in
the strawberry beds.
Wood ashes and poultry manure make
the best fertilizers for onions. They
can both be used as top dressing.
1t is Il good plan as we'll as IN inter-
esting experiment to try few new
varieties every year on small scale.
When onions are to be raised from
seed all reasonable care should be taken
to- SOW the seed ut the first opportunity.
\ In manuring fruit trees the best re-
suits can be secured by scattering the
manure so that the whole surface will
be enriched.
Now is a good time to haul out man
ure and scatter it over the straw berry
beds. Plenty of manure, evenly spread,
will insure fine fruit.
Keep fruit trees properly trimmed
from the beginning of their growth, and
in this way secure the desired form
and save the cutting off of large limbs.
To grow large, rich currants, make
the ground rich and keep it clean and
mellow. Thin out the brush by cut
ting away the old stunted growth of
wood. and leave the young, vigorous
roots.
Strawberry plants that are well
mulched are least affected by sudden
change of weather. The mulch also
prevents the plants from beginning to
grow too early in the season and lessons
the risk Of their getting killed by late
frosts.-St Louis Republic.
