LOW-HEADED TREES
Their Naturally Spreading Habit Of
Growth Will Keep Them Fruit.
full for Years.

A great many fruit trees will be set
next spring, says Nebraska Farmer.
One of the most important points to
be considered in planting is to trim so
as to make the fruit tree productive
and its fruits easily harvested. The
old idea that fruit trees should be
trained to branch up six or more feet
from the ground, so as not to get in
the way of blowing, has long ago been
proved mistake. 1t is the fruit on the
high tree that is most exposed to winds
and which as windfalls brings less
than half what it is worth if carefully
picked by hand. The low-headed tree
will come into bearing early, and itx
naturally spreading habit Of growth
will keep it fruitful. Under trees thus
managed there can, Of course, be no
blowing, but they will not need It..
Grass is easily suppressed by the shade
Of loW-headed trees, and little mulch
spread under the trees will keep the
soil always moist enough for thrifty
growth of roots. Most of the fruit on
low-headed trees can be harvested
from the ground, or by standing on
short stepladders, leaving very little to
be. got by climbing among the
branches. Il >.% @sI*<4 IT. :

SMALL GREENHOUSE.
A Help to Those Wishing to Make a
Start a. Florists in a Small,
Modest Way.

The plan of greenhouse here shown
Is intended as help to those who
would like to start as florists in small
way but who are not able to do so be-
cause the ordinary greenhouse is so
very expensive. A trench is dug along
the eastern side of dwelling house;
if it has cellar six feet deep the
trench should be two feet wide and
four feet deep; door is cut in the cell
lar wall (m), and the trench should
be boarded up on the side opposite the
wall to prevent earth caving in.
A door is placed in the south end and

used until the extreme cold weather
sets in; then it should be fastened un-
til mild weather returns. A cask of
water is kept at the north end of the
trench, and tools of all sorts should
hang from nails driven into the side
of the dwelling house.
This little greenhouse may be built
as long or as short as the builder de-
sires and the size of the main house
will allow, but it should be six feet
wide. 1t gets good deal of heat from
the house. Two holes are cut through

Position of the Feet In walking.

There is but one opinion among physi.
ologists as to the proper position of the
feet, and that is thoroughly opposed tc
the opinions of the dancing master or the
drill sergeant. A study Of ancient sculp-
ture will show that no such conventional
method Of standing or walking was
known among the Greeks. Here the feet
are turned straight ahead, with no in.
clination to the right or left. This is the
position which our sculptors prescribe
for their models as the most natural and
graceful one in standing and walking.
DR.. Thomas Ellis, one of the highest
authorities, in a monograph on this sub
ject names the "fair, square" position IL
walking as the most easy and natural one,
giving the greatest support to the body
with the least exertion. In this position
the feet are placed straight ahead, and
the lines of the footsteps are slightly apart
and are parallel This is the light, alert
walk of the Arab and is different from
the stealthy step Of the Red Indian.
While the Indian holds his feet straight
out, he steps SO that a single line could
be drawn through his footprints.
DR.. Ellis goes SO far as to attribute the
deformity of fiat footedness to the habit
nal turning out of the toes. He calls
attention to the arched foot and fine car
rage of the Arab as the result of hit
manner of planting his feet on the
ground Chicago Tribune.

Eyes, you shall have it!' said the old
lady, and as she stepped into her car
riage and ordered the driver to "whip
up those mules and drive home quick"
there was in her face the same express
sion of determination which may be seen

cheek he clinches his musket and dashes
at battery of gatling guns.
The pumpkin pie was made. The crisp
crust was rolled out by the beautiful
hands of the dear old lady, who was
careful not to let the tears that rolled
down her cheeks drop on it.
The same evening the homely mules
trotted briskly to the hospital.
1t was terrible thing she was about
to do.
She went again to the surgeons office.
Again she asked, Doctor, is there no
hope for that poor Yankee boy?'
Madam, l can DO nothing more. He
will be dead before morning" was the
answer.
Quickly but resolutely she made her
way to the couch of death. She dis
missed the nurse and took her seat After
awhile the boy opened his eyes, and she
held out a slice OF the pumpkin pie.
He opened his mouth, and she broke
the pie into bits and fed him, weeping
quietly the while. When the slice was
finished, his hollow eyes seemed to de-

She hesitated moment, and then

then she quickly stole away, She felt

not make up her mind to watch her VIC

locked herself in her room.
Early the next morning those mules
again trotted briskly to the hospital.
The nurse reported that her patient
had slept quietly all night, While the
old lady looked anxiously down on his
wasted form, he opened his eyes and said
in a strong voice, where's the other

GENERAL JOE WHEELER'S
BLUNDER.

General Joe Wheeler is one of the
popular heroes of the war, beloved
alike by north and south. When he
climbed that tree he simply won the
hearts of the American people; and
henceforth, like the king, he can do no
wrong. And now General Joe Wheeler
has set the whole country laughing
over a lapse of memory and a slip of
the tongue. For four years Wheeler
was a cavalry officer in the confederate
army, and the experiences of those four
years made deep and lasting impress
sion on him. The fighting around and
at Santiago reused the old enthusiasm
in him, and he lived over again the
scenes of more than a third of a CEN
fury ago. At San Juan, wearing the blue
uniform of major general of United
States volunteers. and not the gray
uniform of confederate major gen
eral, leading Yankee boys in blue,
Wheeler went up that hill, making di-
rectly for the trenches of the Span
iards. AS they began to weaken and
give way before the impetuosity of the
Yankee soldiers, General Wheeler,
standing in his stirrups and waving his
sword, shouted: Go for 'em. boys.
The id Yankees are running"
Quicker than he climbed that tree,
he detected the blunder and corrected
it. shouting: Il mean the Spaniards
are running
And what did the Yankee boys do?
They paused just one moment in that
storm OF Mauser bullets to give a cheer
for General Joe Wheeler and laugh at
his mistake. That laugh on that Cuban
hillside was proof positive that all the
bitterness of the past is gone; that
there is no longer any north or south,
any east or west, nothing but the
United States of America. That blum
der was one of the best things Joe
Wheeler ever did.
