A FEW GARDEN HINTS.

Every large fruit grower should
have cold storage plant.
The apple is, all things considered,
the best fruit grown, and the winter
banana heads the list.
For a small lawn there is no pref
tier or more suitable tree than Mag
nclia acuminata. 1t is without dis
ease and insect pests do not attack it.
There is probably no better goose
berry for this country than the Co.
lumbus. 1t is very prolific and is
claimed to be absolutely free from
mildew

Gooseherrx Cultivation.

Gooseberries are propag gated to
ONE extent by cutting, but generally
by layers. The earth is heaped in a
mound around the bushes and the
young sprouts will strike roots. They
should be planted in rows four by four
ON a rich, heavy soil, we'll cultivated
and heavily pruned. The fruit grows
on the buds formed on two-year-old
wood and on spurs and buds of older
growth. Pruning should be directed
to cutting back the new growth and
occasionally cutting out extra shoots.
Some cultivate in low tree form. but
the shrub forl.s, is the more natural
way of growing, says the Denver Field
and Farm.

PLATFORM FOR PLANTS.
A Stand Which Enables the House
wife to Preserve Her Floral
Pets in Cold Weather.

Various are the contrivances for hous-
ing plants through the winter in coun-
try houses. Some people do not like
their windows darkened and it is often
q matter of much anxiety how and
where the house plants can be kept.
Where windows are small shelf on a
level with the window sill is the most
convenient, although however faithful
~ coal fire may be kept burning
through the night, there are always a
few nights through the winter when
the temperature drops SO low that there
is danger of Jack Frost taking nip of
the choicest varieties unless they are
moved out into the center of the room.
Stiff, brown wrapping paper slipped be-
tween the plants and window is usually
sufficient protection, but flower lover

An Idea That Can BE Used Advan.

The main stalk was grated with a

of thus quickly giving the little trees

TROLLEY SICKNESS.
dren Almost Exclusively Breaks
Out in Brooklyn.

Trolley sickness is causing great dis
tress in the northern SUBURBS and in
parts of Brooklyn. As is well known,
young children are usually exempt
from seasickness, but they ENJOY no
such immunity in the matter OF trolley
sickness. On the contrary, they are
peculiarl y the victims OF this new dis
ease. AS infants play around in care
less glee or shipboard while their
wretched elders are lost to the world
in their bunhs below, bent in abject
misery over the rail or stretched limp
and hstless upon blanketed steamer
chairs, so CT the trolley cars, while
grown folks swing merrlly from the
overhead straps or Eawl the latest Cos
sip into one anothcr's ears, the poor
little victims Of trolley sickness writhe
in tortures and wal in unison.
In the case of trolley sickness, as in
that Of seas. ckness, fresh air is often
the best remedy, and SO it happened
that so long as open cars were run upon
the suburban trolley lines infant mis-
cry was kept within reasonable bounds.
But now that the advance of the sea-
son has brought out the closed cars the
sickness daily increases. 1t must be
remembered, too, that in the case of
trolley sickness there is no such con-
venient rushing to the rail as in the case
OF sudden seizure on shipboard. To be
sure, most unhappy-looking infant
faces are daily seen protruding from
the windows of thu trolley cars, but
this convenient resource is seldom
available, since trolley cars are SO
densely crowded most of the time that
to get child suddenly upon the seat
and its hea'! out of the window is al
most impossible. Mothers of foresight
encourage their children to stand on
the seats anG look out of the windows,
SO as to be in the very best possible po-
siticn for any sudden emergency.
But when a trolley car is packed, as
Brooklyn and suburban trolley cars
sometimes are packed, and as horse
cars never were packed, because no
two horses could ever have drawn such
loads, the position Of the infant. sud-
denly seized with trolley sickness is
truly pitiable. So, too, is that of the
mother, for she receives, instead of
sympathy, the angry looks Of her fell
low passengers, who would e re her and
hers as pestilenca, hut who, struggle
as they may, and tread down and elbow
one another as they will, cannot put
more than six inches between them
selves and the object OF their disgust.
In Brooklyn, where the art of troll.
ley-car riding has been brought to a
higher degree of perfection than else
where, save in Philadelphia, there IS a
rumor that the trolley parlor cars at
least are to have (, corps of chamber
maids. This provision, the managers
of the trolley lines hope. will promote
general comfort. Meanwhile there is
widespread demand throughout ali the
territory threaded by the Huckleberry
lines for remedy that will at least
assuage the violence of trolley sickness.
and disposition among the childless
to demand that the discrimination
against children practiced in some
apartments and boarding houses be ex-
tended to the trolley cars.-N. Y. Sun.

Divorced by Candle

BULLDOG AND MARINE GLASSES
First Caused the Loss of the Second to
q North Slider

There is at least one man in Chicago whose
faith in the honesty of human nature is
gradually oozlng away. He lives on the
North Side and is frequently encountered
patrolling the Lake Shore drive watching
the waves at rest or in commotion, for one
Of the loves of his life is old Lake Michigan.
Another love is a bull terrier dog. with a
pedigree that stretches from America to Ire
land and propensity for lighting inherited
from his Hibernian ancestors on the "ould
sod
Armed with his dog, his cane and valua-
bic field glass, the North Side gentleman
strolled along the shore drive the other aft
ernoon oblivious to all his surroundings ex-
cept the dashing water viewed through the
magnifying lenses. But a shrek of rage
from feminine throat, accompanied by a
howl of pain from dog and man S vocifer-
Gus exclamation, quickly brought his wan
dering attention back from the lake to the
other side of the drive.
Hanging from the rigid jaws of the bull
terrier was poor little black poodle, while
woman clasped her hands and cried and
her masculine escort made the atmosphere
uncomfortably fiery.
Here, hold my glasses" hastily called the
North Side man, "while get them apart"
"All right" cried the infuriated dog
owner, "but I'll go and call policeman and
see that your beast is shot right away, sir." :"
The North Side man scarcely heard him.
All his energies were directed toward the
unyielding bull terrier. Down came the
heavy cane on his head, while the woman
cried louder than ever and the poodle yelped
piteously. An interested crowd quickly
gathered to watch the struggle between the
man and the dog. Men leaped from their
wheels, carriages stopped and pedestrians
lined the edges of the stone walk. 1t was an
exciting contest between brute's strength
and mans will, but the man finally con-
quered. Tearing the poodle from the jaws
of the terrier, the North Slider turned to re-
gain his glass. But he found neither man
nor policeman nor lenses. And that is why
his friends are laughing at him and why he
is ready to believe that to the dishonest
much shall be given.
