This Horse Climbs Trees.

Dan Berry, the well known horse
owner of Chicago, has made a great hit
In purchasing an ordinary looking nag
in the southern part of the state. Ii
appears that the owner was glad to get
rid of 1t and thought he was doing a
smart thing in working 1t off on Dan,
but to latter is going to turn the deal
to his own account, for the animal is
wonder. 1t is nothing more or less
Than a climbing horse.
II was foaled In the woods Of an un-
settled part Of Brown county. and for
six months afterward It never saw a
human being. During that period II
learned to climb trees with the agility

II thou art not kind.
What will profit thee
Wealth of purse or mind.
II thou art not kind;
Grief and misery
Must thy portion be,
II, alas! thy heart be blind
And. poor wight, thou art not kind.
Kindness. and the earth is bright,
Kindness, and the load Is light,
Kindness, and the weary way
Laughs with love and roundelay;
King Is he in all his blood
Who is first in doing good,
God pity him whose heart is blind
And alas! who is not kind.

Insect Horses and Their Riders.

At recent meeting of the Entomo-
logical Society of Washington some
specimens of chrysopa, a species Of
golden-eyed fly, which had been coll
lected in the White Mountains, were
exhibited as curiosities, because each
carried on its back one or more minute
cecidomyiid flies. The opinion was ex-
pressed that this was a true case of
a smaller species of insect using a
larger species for the purposes of loco
motion from place to place.

Wheat is Always Growing.

Wheat is grown all over the world
ern hemisphere, and, as the winter OF
the southern half of the world occurs
when we have our summer, the Chill
ians and Australians are sowing and
reaping wheat while the northern hem
isphere is wrapped in snow. In go
many countries is wheat grown and
under slch diverse conditions that
there is no month in the year during
which wheat sowing or a wheat har-
vest is not going on in some part OF
the world.

The Scent Of Flowers.

AS rule, the scent of flowers does
not exist in them as In store, or
gland, but rather as breath, an ex-
halation. While the flower lives 1t
breathes out its sweetness, but when
1t dies the fragrance usually ceases to
exist. The method of stealing from
the flower its fragrance while 1t is still
living Is no new thing. and It Is not
known that when II was discovered
that butter, animal fat, or oil would
absorb the odor given on by living
flowers placed near them, and would
themselves become fragrant.

Lessen Your Wants.

More of the true enjoyment of life
lies in this maxim than is generally
thought. We may indeed go to ex-
tremes and cut to the quick, like that
Cynic philosopher who threw away his
wooden cup on seeing a vagrant boy
drink from the hollow of his hand.
But the truth Is, we create many of
our own necessities; and with the
growth of luxury new wants come in,
not by ones, nor by tens. but by hun
dreds.-The Ledger.

Mr.. Downhill had returned with the
glass of water.
Perlina, not knowing what to do, had
refuge in tears and silence. The gen.

away with each other, with pistols for
two and coffee for four" in their faces.
But this was eighteen hundred and

documentary evidence. In a retired
spot, where they could not be over

were produced. Poor little Kolt read
with the bitter agony of youth the wo-
mans denial of ner love for and en-

Downhill gave groan over another

APPLE ORCHARDS.
voted to the Cultivation of This
Fruit I'm the state.

Allegan. Aug. 27.--Inquiries have
been coming TO the State Horticultural
society from all portions of the United
States, as TO the prospect of the Michi-
gan apple crop. a canvass of the state,
which includes every county, reveals
the fact that the crop will vary from
ten per cent. of winter fruit in some
counties, TO as high as 10 in others.
There are comparatively few large
commercial apple orchards in this
state, but the yield is gathered from in
Vulnerable small orchards which
abound.
From statistics gathered in this and
many other states, ii is believed that
the Michigan apple crop will be in eX-
cess of any state east of the Rocky
mountains. The indications are that
apples will command an unusually
good price this fall. Buyers are al
ready in the field for cider apples and
drying stock, many evaporators hav-
ing been erected within the state by
men who have been engaged in that
industry elsewhere.
The reports state that comparative
ly little damage is noticeable from the
codling moth, but there is an album
dance of scab, particularly where the
trees were not sprayed. The crop OF
pears and plums will be full and of ex-
cellent quality. Grapes will yield a
very full crop.
The acreage of apple orchards in
Michigan is 2OO,47s, and of peaches, 49,
