oh, Fond Dove!" tale of sailors love,
and "Mopsa, the Fairy" were widely
sung and fingered long before the pub
lie. Much of her work was supposed
to be photographed, in which con-
nection it was for a long time thought
that her name, Jean Ingelow,"
which she candidly signed to her work,
was nom de plume and many people
were set by the ears to discover the
real identity of the author, in many
cases it taking them longer than if she
really had in the first place signed 4
pseudonym.
In her youth it was said that the
poetress was not regarded as an infant
phenomenon and that nothing was es-
pecially noticeable about her except
her timid demeanor and prediction
for wandering off along the coast,
where she loved to sit in loneliness and
watch the sea. o.
At her death Miss Ingelow was n
years old and was living in little cot
tage at Kensington, where, with her
brother, who had remained bachelor
all his life, she passed her days sur
rounded by the beautiful greenery-
screened gardens attached to the lodge
and in which, it was said, it was her
greatest pleasure to roam. The con-
servatory is said to be as large again
as the little cottage, and her favorite
amusement was to wander through the
sweet-scented aisles of this and watch
her little net birds at pIay
Of late years she had passed from
public mind and not many recalled the
sensation her early work created.

MENDING BROKEN TREES.
Peculiar Results of Hnlf-GirdIing
with Wire Bands.

WIN wire bhnuS.
In going through an old orchard
where the great gales of the fall Of
1894 blew over many trees, cutting and
splitting off half the tops of others, l
was struck, says j. H. Hale, in the
Connecticut Courant, with the amount
of abuse a peach tree will stand and
yet recover. In clearing up the wreck
age some Of the split trees were holted
together, others had wire bands put
on, and still others had the broken half
cut away entirely, the split trunks
smoothed up with drawing knife and
the one-sided head shortened in to ball
ance it a little better. Trees treated
in the latter method, while having a
SCARED trunk, with bark only on one
side, have full roundabout heads, as
good as though no harm had been done,
while the wiring process has girdled
many limbs and left pretty poor trees.
The bolted trees look fairly well, but
none are so good as those that were
thoroughly pruned. with no attempt
to save broken limbs. This experience
covered about 1000 trees, and in any
future breaking or splitting down 1

better shape than by any other ethod.
A peculiar result of half-girdhng some
trees with wire bands, was that the
fruit borne on them has been larger
and Of brighter color, ripening from
ten days to two weeks earlier than the
same varieties of trees without wire
bands. This might be an advantage
in some seasons with certain varieties,
and If only portion of tree were
girdled at one time, no serious harm
would come of IL.

THE KICKING COW.
How a Determined Man Can Subdue
Her without Violence.

Her without Violence.
It would be difficult, believe, to find
dairyman of any extent who does not
occasionally have in his herd cow
that gives much annoyance from the
habit of kicking while being MIXED.
There are great many prescribed
means of subduing such animals, and
most mixers have found some plan that
works fairly well. Usually really vicious
cows have to submit to fixtures of ropes,
straps or the like, but even these can
be done without if the mixer is strong,
resolute fellow who has not the least
fear of his cow, and will not lose con.
troll of his temper. One plan know
to work well, says writer in Farmers
Advocate, is to tie the cows head close
and secure, so that she cannot jump
forwards or backwards. Then set the
pail a little way out from her, bend
over and place the head very firmly
against her groin, and with the left
hand grasp the back near teat very
firmly and commence milking with the
other hand. In all probability she will
set up furious and determined OPPOSE
ton, but If the mixer is persistent and
stays at his work without finch she
will soon lose confidence in her ability
to kick herself free, and will give up
considerably exhausted and subdued.
Two or three determined efforts will
subdue very bad cases, rendering them
ready to stand peaceably for weeks to-
gether. Occasionally she returns to her
old vice after time, when another
trial of strength and power of endur-
ance will have to be gone through with
and will usually suffice. In breaking
heifer or kicking COW rough usage is
unnecessary and unwise. BY the plan
outlined a really bad case can be MIXED
and subdued in, spite of herself by o
strong, determined man.

eral of these souvenirs of the great
ladies of old may be found suggest
i've.
An old book is bound in maroon vel
vet, with the royal arms of England,
the garter and the motto worked in
gold thread on a crimson ground. A
coronet or crown of gold is inwrought
with pearls. On the covers are roses
in red silk and gold, the edge finished
with a narrow border of FURNISHED
gold thread.
A book of prayers, said to be covered
by Queen Elizabeth herself when girl,
has the canvas wrought all over in tent
stitch, with rich crimson silk and silver
thread intermiXed with the letters "H.
K" in blue.
Another royal book has Prince Of
Wales feathers worked in gold thread
in the center; the three plumes are
bound together with large pearls and
wreathed with leaves and flowers.
Around the edge of the cover there is
broader wreath; corner sprigs in gold
thread are thickly interspersed with
spangles and gold leaves.
This antique work has been revived OF
late, and some of the modern en-
broidered book covers are really beau
tiful. They can be made up at any
bookbinding establishment.
The design given is for a prayer-book,
and is a combination of white faille,
black velvet and gold. The cross OF
black velvet has the edges covered in re-
lief with gold bullion, and is applied on
the white faille, over which the sides
and corners of the black velvet are laid,
the edges being all covered by the
heavy bullion embroidery. The wheat
and the passion flowers are in silver,

bud, and therefore prevent growth. If
left until quite late, imperfect union
may be the result from drought or from
early frost.
The buds are taken from matured lat
erals of thrifty young tree. The twigs
from which they are cut should be about
the size of goose quill. In removing
the bud from the branch, begin half
an inch above it, cut down through the
bark and take up small bit of wood,
having the knife come out one inch be-
low the bud. Leave small part of the
leaf stem attached by which to handle
it. Buds can be kept for week or
ten days after removal, provided they
are packed in a box and surrounded
with slightly moistened moss. 1t would
be best not to cut off any wood when the
bud is removed, but 1t is difficult to do
this without injury to the root of the
bud.
Trees are budded when from one to
five years old, preferably at the earlier
date. Choose smooth portion between
leaves, make horizontal incision
through the bark and at the upper end
one at right angles to it, the two cuts
forming a capital T. Raise the bark
on each side of the horizontal cut slight
ly, grasp the bud by the leaf stem left
on for that purpose and slip it into this
incision. With strip of bass bark or
old muslin bind the bud in place, and the
operation is completed. Be sure that
the knife used in budding is perfectly
sharp, for smooth cuts must always be
secured. One of the chief difficulties

On this board the bait for the animal
to be caught is placed. A wire 1h
inches long is inserted in this standard

of the trap; this wire stands crosswise
of the trap. Through the ends of the

BREATHING EXERCISE.
How to FIJI and Empty the Lungs On
Scientific Principles.

Scientific Principles.
It is claimed by certain reformers,
who, it would seem, never find things
to their liking, that not one woman in
hundred breathes normally. The res
piration of the average woman varies
with every change of mental or physic-
al condition, and it is a rare thing for
woman to use her lungs to the best
possible advantage without previous
knowledge of physiology and an appre-
citation of the merits of physical culture.
Desirable as is thorough exercise
in breathing, it is not quite safe to ex-
pertinent in the matter. A very little
instruction on the subject will enable
any woman to comprehend the precise
art of filling and emptying the lungs on
scientific principles. After this has
been acquired the chief thing is to
breathe in as much sunshine as possible
and to believe in the efficacy of oxygen
as remedy for nearly all the ills that
are fashionable.
The following are some excellent
rules for improving the respiration
and bringing it up to a normal condi-
ton: Stand in an open window or re-
cline on a couch, with the waist and
chest unconfned; hold the chest walls
high and inhale in slow, long breaths,
exhale as slowly, three times only at
first. Gradually the number of times
may be increased and the time length
ened for the breathing exercises. Fiji
teen minutes twice day, at least
should be devoted to this exercise to ac-
complish the desired result.-Farmers'

raising Pile ON Velvet.

Here is how to raise the pile on vel
vet that has been crushed: Cover hot
iron, held upside down, with damp
cloth, lay the velvet on the cloth, velvet
side up, and gently beat the crushed
part with cloth brush. If this is not
sufficient the velvet may be very gently
rubbed with cloth dipped in oil, and
the beating repeated. The velvet must
then be hung up to dry and should not
be touched again until it is perfectly
dry.

Is in the best condition to form union.
When rows of trees run north and
south, put the buds on the west side, and
when they run east and west put them
on the north side. This will enable them
to resist the north and west winds, as
they are capable of much greater re-
sistance when the pressure is toward
the stem than away from it. In very

The usual season for budding is from
the first of July until the latter part of
September. The season varies, how
ever, with the locality, the proper time
being when the tree is in active growth
and the bark parts readily from the
wood. 1t is also necessary to delay the
work until the buds are well matured,
and it can be continued as long as the
sap moves. 1t is not safe to begin too
