DIFFERENT NEEDS OF FRUIT TREES
The copious manuring or top dressing
so important for the successful growth
and fine bearing of apple trees, might
destroy a cherry tree. A peach tree
will bear free cutting back to bring il
into good shape; a cherry tree may be
seriously injured by such pruning dur
ing the growing season, and sometimes
the trees are killed by it. Free ma
nuring of dwarf pear trees is abso.
lutely essential, and with some stand
ards it makes the difference between
large, fine, delicious specimens and
small ones. The cherry will succeed
better standing in grass sod than the
peach tree, and standard pears better
than dwarfs. But all kinds of fruit
trees require free cultivation, at leas,
while the trees are young; top.dress'
ing with manure is important.-Fruil

The CAR CONDUCTORS MISTAKE.

1t happened the other day on the
Lehigh Valley railroad. The train
had just left Easton, and the conduc-
tor was making his first round, when
he observed small white dog, with q
bushy tail and black eyes, sitting Coz.
ily on the seat beside young lady so
handsome that it made his heart roll
over like a lopsided pumpkin. But
duty was duty, and he remarked in his
most deprecatory manner:
"I'm very sorry, madam, but it's
against the rules to have dogs in the
passenger cars"
"Oh, my, is that so ?" And she turn
ed up two lovely brown eyes at him
beseechingly. "What in the world
will I do? can't throw him away.
Heis a Christmas present for my aunt" "
"By no means, miss. Well put him
in baggage car, and he'll be just as
happy as robin in spring."
"What! Put my nice white dog in
nasty, stuffy, dusty baggage CARP"
"I'm awfully sorry, miss, l assure
YOU, but the rules of this company are
as iniexible as the laws of the Medes
and them other fellows, you know.
He shall have my overcoat to lie on,
and the brakeman shall give him grub
and water every time he opens his
mouth"
81 Just think it's awful mean, so l
do, and know somebody will steal it,
so they will!' And she showed a
half notion to cry that nearly broke
the conductors heart, but he was firm
and sang out to the brakeman, who
was playing a solo on the stove:
"Here, Andy, take this dog over
into the baggage car and tell 'em to
take just the best kind of care OF
him."
The young lady pouted, but the
brakeman reached over and picked
the canine up as tenderly as though 1t
was 2-weeks' old baby, but as he did
so a strange expression came over his
face, like a wave of cramp collie, and
he said hastily to the conductor
"Here, you just hold him a minute
till l put this poker away" And he
trotted out at the car door and held on
to the brake wheel, shaking like a
man in the ague.
The conductor no sooner had his
hands on the dog than he looked for
hole to fall through.
"Why, wh-why, this is a worsted
dog"
ayes, sir" said the little miss de-
murely. "Didn't you know that?"
"No; I'm most awful sorry to say l
didn't know that" And he laid the
Christmas dog down in the owners
lap and walked out on the platform,
where he stood half an hour in the
cold, trying to think hymn tune to
suit the worst sold man on the Lehigh
Valley.

TURPENTINE's MANY UsEs.-Tur'
pentine is an article so widely used in
the arts, and so easily obtained that its
virtues as domestic remedy have in
great measure been overlooked, says
the Boston Globe.
In the early stages of Group, or any
throat or chest trouble, it is well.nigt
a specific. The writer has seen the
most stubborn cough disappear after
its use, as follows: Rub the chest and
throat until the skin is red, then tie
piece of flannel or cotton-batting over
the chest, moisten with few drops Of
the oil, and inhale the vapor. By rub
bing on sweet oil, irritation of the skin
may be avoided.
For burns it is invaluable, applied
either with a rag or in a salve. The
pain vanishes, and healthy granula'
tion soon begins. Its use is at first at
tended with considerable smarting
but the permanent good more than
compensates for it.

CURE For CoRNs. friend recent
ly sent me the following simple rene.
dy, which she says has given her such
complete relief that she wishes every
sufferer with corns to know it. Soak
the feet in warm water a long time,
and take off as much of the hard skin
as possible; then put around the toe q
strip of surgeons adhesive plaster
sufficiently wide to entirely cover the
corn. Wear the plaster until it comes
off or wears out, and then repeat the
soaking and put on another plaster
The plaster can be bought at any drug.
store, and five cents worth will last q
long time. 1t must be warmed before
applying to the corn.

H1NTs.-If every pot and pan, OF
any utensil used in the cooking o.
food, be washed as soon as emptied
and while still hot, half the labor and
a great deal of time will be saved.
The addition of little salt to sweet
foods helps to bring out the flavor, and
acid things are improved by the addi'
ton of little sugar.
Vinegar should not be kept in q
stone jug. Glass is much better for
the purpose. The acid of vinegar
affects the glazing of stone ware.
A sponge large enough to expand
and fiji the chimney after having been
squeezed in, tied to slender stick, is
the best thing with which to clean a
lamp chimney.
Creaking boots: Stand the boots
for "a hours in a pan of salt and wa
ter, deep enough to cover the soles.

THREE BIG PREMIUMS.

This year we offer three big premiums. One
Ia a SEVENTY.FIVE DOLLAR BUGGY.
Another is SEVENTY-FlVED DOLLAR Or
GAN, and the third Is FIFTY DOLLAR
WAGON. The Buggy will 60 to the clubmaker
who gets up the largest list Of subscribers, new
and old. The Wagon will go to the clubmaker
who gets up the second largest list, new and
whose total list shall show up the largest
number of NEW NAMES. The organ contest,
however, will be separate and distinct from
the other contest, in that the winner OF this
premium will still have the right to count his
entire clrr, Including both old and new
names, in ne contest for the Buggy or Wagon.
To be more explicit 1t is possible that the
clubmaker who gets the Organ, may also be
the winner Of either the Wagon or the Buggy.
It Is also possible, that the Organ may pe won Won
with less than % names, together with one
of the smaller premiums.

DETwEEN this date and the MIDDLE OF
ID MARCH, It is usual for the people Of this
section to select their reading matter for the
following year. Being one Of the cleanest,
most enferprising and reliable newspapers in
the state, It is natural, therefore, that THE
YORKVILLE ENQUIRER should also be
one Of the most popular. Ninety per cent. OF
the families in the county desire II as regu-
Lar visitor to their homes, and all those who
can afford 1t, may reasonably be looked upon
as probable subscribers. One Of the most Sc
rious drawbacks, probably, Is the inconven:.
ience of writing letters, sending money and
attending to the matter Of subscribing at the
proper time. 1t Is this fact that makes 1t es-
pecfally desirable for U.S. Just at this TYNE, TO
secure the services Of large number OF intel.
ligent and energetic assistants, and TO make II
worth their while to give the matter their
attention, we are making the liberal offers
which we will presently explain.
The price OF q single subscription one year
is TWO DOLLARS. This Is to the individual
who does not give his name to clubmaker
but sends it direct to this Office In clubs,
however, the price is only ONE DOLLAR
AND SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS. That Is the
price which the subscriber pays the clubmaker,
and the price which, under all circumstances
he is expected to pay us. Now to our propo-
aiftons

WOMEN AND EATING.-The habit
of starving ones self is one which
grows. A woman complained to the
family physician that she felt a real
distatse for food. His answer was
"My dear madam, if you force your
self to eat now you will soon regain
your appetite. If you continue to eat
nothing, the distaste will grow. TIC
speak plainly, the stomach shrinks
when it is given too little food. 1t is
like other mechanism. 1t gets out OF
order when it has too much to do, and
also when it has too little"

AN AFTERNOON NAP.-A short at
ternoon nap is said to be extremely
beneficial, especially if the heaviest
meal of the day is eaten at noon. A
nap while digestion is in operation Is
natural and healthful, and rests the
body, relieves the brain, and indulges
and assists the digestive organs.

which one can determine easily II a

piece of it in cold water. If it soaks
up the water rapidly, the food is mod
erately digestible. This test was given
to q nurses class.

THE STORY OF THE BOOK AGENT.

A Philadelphia book agent can
yassed James Watson, rich and
close New York man living at Eliza
beth, until he bought a book, the
"Early Christian Martyrs" Mr.. Wat
son didn't want the book, but bought
it to get rid of the agent; then, taking
it under his arm, he started for the
train which takes him. to his New
York Office.
The canvasser took note that the
family was interested in that class OF
literature and made a mental reso.
luton to see Mrs. Watson during the
day, Mr.. Watson having incautiously
dropped the remark that his wife gen.
orally did the book buying of the
family.
By and by the book agent called,
went in and persuaded the wife to buy
another copy, she being ignorant OF
the fact that her husband had bought
the same book in the morning. When
Mr.. Watson came back from New
York at night, Mrs. Watson showed
him the book.
81 don't want to see it," said Mr..
Watson, frowning terribly.
"Why, husband ?" asked the wife.
because that rascally book agent
sold me the same book this morning,
Now we've got two copies of the same
book-two copies of the EARLY Chris
tian Martyrs and"
"But, husband, we can"
"No, we can't, either" interrupted
Mr.. Watson. "The man is off on the
train before this. Confound it, I could
kill the fellow! L"
"Why, there he goes to the depot
now," said Mrs. Watson, pointing out
of the window at the retreating form
of the book agent making for the train.
"But it's too late to catch him, and
I'm not dressed. I've taken off my
boots, and"
Just then Mr.. Stevens, neighbor
of Mr.. Watson, drove by, when Wat
son pounded on the window pane in a
frantic manner, almost frightening the
horse.
"Here, Stevens" he shouted,
"you're hitched up! Won't you run
your horse down TO the train and hold
that book agent till come? Run
Catch 'em nowp
Gall right" said Mr.. Stevens, whip
ping up his horse and tearing down
the road.
Mr.. Stevens reached the train just
as the conductor shouted GAIL
aboard !"
"Book agent!" he yelled as the
book agent stepped on to the train.
"Book agent! Hold on! Mr.. Wat.
son wants to see youw
"Watson Watson wants to see
me?" repeated the seemingly puzzled
book agent.
"Oh, 1 know what he wants! He
wants to buy one of my books, but l
can't miss the train to sell it to him."
eff that is all he wants, I can pay
for it and take it back to him. How
much is it ?"
1.-TWO dollars for the Early Chris
tian Martyrs" said the book agent as
he reached for the money and passed
the book out through the car window.
Just then Mr.. Watson arrived, puff
ing and blowing, in his shirt sleeves.
As he saw the train pull out he was
too full for utterance.
"Well, got it for you," said ste-
'vens. "Just got it, and that's ALL"
"Got what?" yelled Watson.
"Why, got the book-'Early Chris
tisn Martyrs and"-
"By-the-great guns" moaned
Watson as he placed his hand on his
brow and staggered into the middle OF
the street.
