LOCATING AN ORCHARD.

Why Fruit Trees Should be Planted ON
Good Soil.
"You won't plant trees on that nice
ground" said the visitor, when told, IN
being shown over the premises, that ar
engagements were in progress for set
ting out a new orchard there.
"Why not?" was the reply.
because the surface lies well and the
soil is good for any of the crops most
generally raised.''
'"Those are two of the reasons why I
selected it. The soil is good, the loca-
ton is elevated, but not too high, the
surface is nearly level, so that the trees
can be cultivated as often as necessary
without danger of washing, and there is
sufficient drainage so that water will
pass off in a short time after the rain
ceases" ..,- -.
1t is surprising that some people
think an orchard should be planted OH
land fit for much else. True, such
land, cansQften be made more profitable
in fruit 81 some kind than in raising
grain or grass. But it does not follow
that an orchard will not be aigood in.
vestment on good land. Such persons
have never calculated the cost - tile
greatly lessened cost, rather-in grow
ing fruit as compared with other prod
sucts, in a. series of years. If they. did
they would find that, under fair condi-
tons, the orchard is the most profitable
piece of land of that size ON the farm.
This, to say nothing of the pleasure,
and the advantage to health, of a regular
supply of fine fruit.--National Stock

Kentucky is Aroused.

The statement that a bottle Of whisky
made in 1880 is to be used to christeu
the battleship Kentucky has aroused
a deep and widespread feeling of re.
sentiment in the state for which the
vessel is named, IL is probable that
this feeling will take the form of a pub.
lie protest and that the Dissertation will
be prevented.
Said Colonel Homestrctch who is
staying ut the Palmer House: "Thcro
IS no mistakiug the fact that our people
are greatly stirred up over this chris.
tening matter. When it was first
stated that "A bottle of whisky would be
used in the christening little attention
was paid to it. We heard that liquor
Of some kind was used in christening
ships, and, not being nautical people,
we did not think it seemly to obtrude
our views of what was proper on such
an occasion. Even after it became
generally understood that the part
played by the liquor was simply to be
spilled and wasted it did not occur to
us to organize in opposition to the pro.
granme. Without giving much thought
to the matter we supposed that a small
quantity of some inferior and inexpen.
sive brand would naturally be used"
But" continued the colonel, throw.
ing out his chest, 1--WE have lately
learned that it is proposed to spill a
whole quart of 1880 whisky over the

CAT In a PIPE ORGAN.
Unusual Experience of n Hotel Cat
Music Box.


A few nights ago, when the big AGO.
Ian at the Great Northern began its
usual evening programme it didn't
seem to work just right, says the Chi
cago Chronicle. The aeolian was doing
its level best TO play the wedding march
from 'Lohengrin," but made an awful
mess of it.
The frst strain, which everybody re-
members goes 'Rum-tum-te-tum," was
fo llowed by ''meouw-wow-ow." All the
crowd looked up at the organ and tried
TO locate the spot where the unusual ac-
compartment came from. The next
strain of the march was followed by a
screeching yowl that was heard clear
up to the G floor. People at dinner
dropped their knives and forks and
looked nervously at each other and
then at the doors and windows. Just as
the third yell came out of the aeolian
Proprietor Eden was seen on the second
floor stealthily moving toward the in
strument with ladder in his hand. Mr..
Eden crept up close to the aeolian and
listened for a moment. Then he put his
ladder against the right side and slowly
made his way to the top. When he got
up he reached over and put his hand
down inside of the f fiat pipe. There
were no results at first. Then he stood
on tiptoe and showed his arm 10 the
shoulder down the mouth of the pipe.
Then followed a terrible yowling and
scratching, but the colonel pulled and
with a noise like the departure of a
tight cork from the neck of beer bot
tie he pulled the hotel cat out of the
pipe and carried it down to the bag
gage room, where it belongs.

Metallic Cheese.

1t has been n common theme of con-
graduation by not few writers and
philanthropists, says the London
Lancet, that the days are over when
PEOPLE were poisoned by the indiscrim-
mate practices of the adulteror, and
that now they are only cheated. What
will be said, then, of the announcement
that both the salts of zine and lead are
used in the preparation of cheese?
Cheese spice" is the delectable name of
crystallized sulphate of zinc, which, ac-
cording to Mr.. Allen, the public analyst
of Sheffield. is used to prevent the heav-
ing and cracking of cheese. Worse still,
Mr.. Stoddart, another public analyst
has described a sample of Canadian
cheese in which he found metallic lead,
and it is probable that the highly poi
sonous acetate CT lead was employed
for the same purpose as the sulphate of

Victoria has not been exempt from the

BIBLE HIS ONLY WEAPON.
Queer story of Hanse Hatfield, of the
HatfeId-McCOy Band of Outlaws.

Queer story of Hanse Hatfield, of the
Hatfeld-McCOy Band of Outlaws.
Mrs E. p. Chapman, of Hartford City,
W. Va, vouches for the truthfulness of
the following story concerning Hanse
Hatfield, one of the widely-known out
laws of the Hatfield-McCoy gang:
She was in Kanawha county some
time ago instituting Rebekah lodge,
and, on her way home, stopped over
Sunday with the family of merchant
in Charleston. Hanse Hatfield was in
the city at the same time and was the
guest of the merchant, being there on
a purchasing tour. On Sunday evening
Hatfield asked to be shown the Meth
odist Episcopal church, and, on being
informed that there was no service in
that church that evening, accepted the
invitation to GO with the merchants
family to the Presbyterian church.
Upon arriving at the church Hatfield
took the merchant to one side and told
him the Hatfields had such a bad repu-
tation that he always carried a weapon.
He then proceeded to open a hard grip
he was carrying. To the chagrin of the
party he took therefrom an old and
much used Bible, and, holding it up so
those near could see it, said:
This is the only weapon l ever
carry, and to get along we'll and live
close to the feet of Jesus Christ one
must carry it constantly and use it
often" The Bible was all there was in
the grip.

UNSUITABLE STEALING.
Why Kentucky Judge Set Aside
Verdict of a Jury.

Verdict of a Jury.
L heard the late Judge john f.
Grace, of the court of appeals of Ken
lucky, set aside the verdict of a jury
once under circumstances that to my
mind did him infinite. credit" said Rep
resentatiye John S. Rhea, of that state.
according TO the Washington Post.
ut seems that a poor woman, who
was on the verge of starvation and who
was the sole support Of four little chill
dren, went into neighbours smoke
house and purloined piece of bacon
The proof was positive and the jury
reluctantly returned verdict of guilty.
When the finding of the jury was read
Judge Grace, who at that time pre-
sided over the Fourteenth judicial dis
trict, rising TO his feet, said in the most
emphatic tones:
The court orders that the verdict
in this case be set aside, and | want to
declare here that in all cases where an
unfortunate woman is on trial for steal
ing food, taken to keep her offspring
from starving, it will require IS men to
convict her of the crime in this court.
The defendant is discharged from Gus
tody.'
The announcement was greeted
with applause from the spectators, and
the general sentiment was that Judge
Grace had acted not only rs befitted
a chivalrous man, but that his ruling
was right. Theft to keep innocent ba-
bies from perishing of hunger can
scarcely be called a crime"
