NUT TREES.

Plant the Nuts, and the Trees VIII Grow
After Awhile.
The age at which any nut trees come
into bearing depends ON the care given
to the trees Some authorities state that
Is or 20 years are necessary 70 bring
them into full bearing from the time
the nut is planted This is . mistake.
as trees that have been we'll cared for
should bear bushel Of nuts in ten years.
and the quantity will increase rapidly
each year after that time.
Some persons may enjoy raising these
trees from seed. To be sure il is rather
slow process. but IL is interesting
work. When planting the nuts. II they
have thin shells be perfectly sure that
they nave not dried out at all. The best
plan is to get them as soon a. they ripen
and plant them 1t once. When this is
not possible. keep them in moist sand or
in sawdust until they can be started.
ButternutA walnuts. hickory nuts and
flberts. being hard shelled. will keep in
growing condition much longer, but
should be planted in the fall. - they
germinate better when allowed to freeze.
- that cracks the she'll.
The fall planting IL natures own
plan, and the nearer we follow her ways
the better results we may expect An
other thing. do not plant the nuts deep.
Nature drops them on the surface and
gives them thick covering Of leaves in
which the dirt catches - IL blows atnnt,
then the snow covers all and helps the
leaves to decay and form . covering Of
leaf mold for the tree to grow in.
II Is not practicable for any Of 10 10
try to raise all these kinds Of nuts, but
select the ones most likely 10 succeed in
our climate, and BY proper care and 1T.
tentiou make . success Of is. We may
not reap the benefit Of our labors. but
our children will and theirs after them.

There are still some members Of the
New York bar who remember George

James T. BRADY and other disting uish-

great lawyer. The papers were produced
and the client departed. The next day
he presented himself before Mr.. Wood,
and the latter said. Fifty dollars,
and nothing more. The client was in

pay him that sum- which he did. After
waiting awhile he asked. "What about
my papers Mr.. Wood?' They are not
worth d-n." replied Mr.. Wood. and
he made no further comment on the
case. 80

SOLDIER BOYS OF MINNESOTA,

prentice, whose home was in Law
renee, Mass. This was the only fatal
missile which struck the Texas during
her fighting term, as none of the other
men who were wounded succumbed to
their injuries. A piece of the shell
which killed Blakely hit John Lively,
landsman, in the leg and inflicted a
dangerous and painful wound. Lively
was limping around the deck today and
said he would soon be all right again.
During the engagement of July 5, when
the Texas was chasing Cervera's YES
sells, big shell, probably from the AL
mirante Oquendo, pierced the starboard
bulkhead underneath the bridge. 1t
passed through the ventilatOr and en-
tered the smokestack, where it eXplod
ed, but injured no one. Several shots
took effect on the bridge and other
parts of the superstructure, but nearly
all traces of the damage done by them
were removed on the homeward trip.
The firing of the port turret guns on
the upper deck shook the vessel con-
siderably, and she will need general
overhauling, as her decks and super
structure have been loosened.
twenty-five sick sailors and marines
were brought back from the squadron
by the Texas, and they were all trans
ferred TO the navy hospital adjoining
the navy yard. None of them had been
injured in battle, and in no case is there
fear of fatal results. Dry dock No.
has been made ready for the Texas,
where she will go tomorrow.

PAY ROLLS PREPARED.
Men in Camp Will Receive Their
Money This Week.

CAMP THOMAS, July SLOWING to
the almost continuous rain at the park
from II a. m. until tonight, the day
was very disagreeable, and the soldiers
remained in quarters. The command
ing officers took advantage of this ex-
cellent opportunity to muster the regi-
ments preparatory to receiving their
government pay for the month Of july.
and the result is that tonight practical
ly all the regiments had been mustered.
The pay rolls have been made up, and
while the paymasters had not arrived
up to this evening the regiments are
expecting their pay during the week.
The task of paying the men will prob
ably begin not later than Wednesday
of this week
Thomas, Notwithstanding there has
been rain for a week, continues very
low. The report Of Maj. G. M. Drake,
surgeon in charge of the First division
Of the Third corps, issued this morn
ing, shows that out Of the 10000 troops
in the division there are 228 sick in
the hospital. This is less than one

CUBANS HOLD GIBARA.
The Fall of Nuevitas Is Reported,
but Not Confirmed.

KEY WEST, Fla, July 31-Reports
have reached here that Nuevitas, on
the north coast of the province of
Puerto Principe. Cuba. has been bonn
barded by the ships of the blockading
squadron, evacuated by the Spanish
and subsequently burned. No details
are known, and the only information
of the affair is that given to Capt.
Maynard, of the gunboat Nashville, by
Lieut.. Col. Rojas of the insurgent
forces at Gibara, last Tuesday. Col.
Rojas himself had the news at second
hand, although he carried private dis
patches from Gen. Garcia, which were
delivered to the commander of the
Nashville
The only American ships known to
have been in the vicinity of Nuevitas
lately are the Prairie and Badger The
latter captured three Spanish vessels
coming out of Nuevitas harbor and
took them to the Dry Tortugas. All
We're flying Red Cross flags, but when
boarded were found to contain a num-
Der Of Spanish soldiers, only three of
whom were sick. The Badger is ex-
pected here shortly
The Nashville reached Gibara on
Tuesday, when she captured the
schooners Gibara and Express. On en-
tering the harbor she was met by the
former United States consular agent
and the president of the railroad line
to Holguin. He told the Americans of
the evacuation Of Gibara two days be-
fore by Gen. Luque and his 1880 Span
ish troops, who feared a concerted at
tack by Americans and Cubans. They
fled to Holguin by rail and afterwards
tore up the track. Gen. Luque left in
the Gibara hospital $50 sick and
wounded Spanish soldiers, with a re-
quest to Admiral Sampson to see that
they were properly cared for
The next day the Cuban forces. con-
sisting of 500 cavalry, under Lieut. Col.
Rojas, and 200 infantry made a tri-
umphal entry into the town. They
were received with acclamations by
the Cubans, and the town held fes-
tival that day and night. The insur-
gents took formal possession, estab-
lished police system and sent out
scouting parties, and when the Nash
Vile arrived the best Of order was be-
ing maintained. The invaders. how
ever, neglected the schooners In the
harbor, and the American ships took
possession of them.
When Ensign Snow left with a prize
crew to bring the Gibara here it had
been practically determined to raise
the American flag over the town. At
that time only Red Cross and Cuban
flags were flying, and there was
question as to whether dissension
might not arise between the Americans
and Cubans in consequence of the Gar
cia-Shafter incident. In such case.
Capt. Maynard was resolved to seize
and hold the place.

OVATION FOR THE TEXAS.
BnttIeShip From Santiago Greeted
by the Cheers of ThOusonds

NEW YORK, July 31.-The battleship
Texas, Capt. ]. W. Phillip in command
arrived today from Santiago on her
way TO the Brooklyn navy yard. For
d brief period she remained at anchor
off Tompknsville, Staten island, to re-
ceive mail and dispatches, and, as soon
as these, were gotten on board, the YES
sci proc A2ded to her destination, amid
Shouts of greeting from thousands of
people, who crowded the decks Of the
outbound excursion boats.
Solicitations of welcome came from
all sides. Every vessel that boosted a
steam whistle let it fly for all it was
worth. The sailing vessels were also
in evidence, and the dipping of colors
aboard the pleasure yachts, while not
so demonstrative as the shrill notes
from the steamers, was equally effect
i've, and the man in charge of the
steam siren on the Texas worked like a
beaver replying to the reception.
When the Texas reached the navy
yard the dock was crowded with blue
jackets and marines, who greeted their
fellows with feverish enthusiasm and
welcomed them back. with joyous
cheers.
The general outward appearance of
the battleship showed that the Texas
had had a rough time of it, and a
close inspection revealed the places
where the shells Of the Dons had pen
etrated the port bow and starboard
suDerstructure
On June %, while the Texas was
bombarding the MORO at the entrance
to Santiago harbor, a six-inch shell
tore out the port side under the an
Choir, about twenty feet from the bow.
This shell exploded on the opposite
SIDE of the gun deck and instantly
