Pruning and Transplanting Young Trees
From Farmers Review: A large

On each side, the tree may be loosened
from the soil with a good supply OF

the roots to the depth of the lowest
ana the roots gradually Ioosened and
freed from the soil. No matter how
carefully a tree is dug, many of the
young feeding roots will be iniured
Or destroyed. Thus only small
aneunt OF sap can be supplied To the
branches and buds, which nevertheless
continue to eyaporate a large amornt
OF water; thus the tree often starta
very slowly, and sometimes falls on
tirely. BY removing the branches and
buds In proportion to the injury of tn.
roots a balance is maintained. All in
1ured roots should be cut of clean
with knife, and the wounds Of largo
roots should be painted over with aomo
waterproof covering. When trees arc
planted the roots should have a fine
mellow bed Of soil, which should he

the cooperation Of other states along

No Longer Requires His Arm.

There have been few more signifi-
cant social phenomena of late than
the discarding of the masculine arm as
q means of physical and moral sup
port. The dawn of the next century
will probably see us all striding down
to dinner by ourselves, our arms
swinging by our sides. Already the
thin end of the wedge had been insert
ed. 1t began with the lunch party.
Time was when these midday func-
tons were nearly as ceremonious as
dinner, when guests were paired off,
and, linked arm in arm, wendell their
way, Noah's ark fashion, to the festive
board. For some time now the lunch
party has resolved itself into an indis-
eliminate scramble to find ones place
and a seat between two unknown per-
SONS to whom you are afraid to make
q remark lest something untoward
should ensue. Finally this season the
same lack of ceremony DEGREES that
our ingenues must march about a ball
room without taking their partners
arm and our dowagers go down to
supper without any more masculine
support than is afforded by the prox-
Unity of a black coat.
The support Of a gentleman's arm

mining purposes at Gallup, N. NJ.
She gave particular heed several
times during the afternoon to the
working of a new patent planer that

Among the young men who came to
Flagstaff six or seven years ago was
Andrew B. Judson. He came there
from st. Louis, where he had been en-
ployed in the lumber yards for a few
years, but his native home was in Full

In developing the sugar pine forests in
Coconino county and between Will
liams, on the Atchison, Topeka and San

of the Colorado, he came out to Ari-
IONA to be a lumberman. In the course
of a year he invested some $4,000 in
timber lands and then put more capital

cialty of timber suitable for boxes for
California fruits, and from the first did
q successful business.
Last year he had his private cabin
IN the lumber region enlarged to a
rude but not unattractive cottage.
Then Judson's widowed mother and
his sister Amelia came out to visit the
young lumberman. Miss JudsOn had
lust finished a course at Cornell uni
versity, and, preparatory to studying
In a Partisan art school, had come out
to spend a few months. with her only
brother among the Bill Williams
mountains in northern Arizona. That
was June, 1898. Last October Andrew
Judson died suddenly with typhoid fe-
yer, a week before his mother and sis
ter had planned to depart for st. Louis.
There were three important con-
tracts for lumber and boxing material
In course Of fulfillment when the
young man was stricken. So when
the mother and sister buried their dead
and had time to think after their stun

also that, unfamiliar as, they were

they would probably lose heavily IL
they forced a sale of the property. So
they did not sell.

For who has labored more than God, j.

The time has come-aye, even now it is
To rank that parable in Genesis
Of Gods great curse of labor placed on man
With other fairy tales. Why, he began
All work himself He full OF force
He flung the solar systems on their course
And builded worlds on worlds, and, not content,
He labors still. When mighty suns are spent,
He FORCES his white hot anvil-space-

Who most achieves is most like God, hold
The idler is the black sheep in the fold
Not for the hardened toiler with the hoe
My tears of sorrow and compassion flow.
Though he be dull, unlettered and not fair
To look upon, though he is bowed with care,
Yet in his heart, if dear love fold its wings,
He stands a monarch over unloved kings.
One sorrow only in Gods world has birth
To live unloving and unloved earth.
One joy alone makes life part of heaven
The joy of happy love, received and given
Down through the chaos of our human laws
Love shines supreme, the great eternal cause.
God loved so much his thoughts burst into flame,
And from that sacred source creation came
The heart which feels this holy light within
Finds God and man and beast and bird its kin
All class distinctions fade and disappear.
Death is new life, and heaven he sees a-near.

And millionaires, seem paupers If from them

Or if his badge be scepter, hoe or bod

How Frenchwomen Lace.

In the first place silk corset strings
are invariably used. They are not
much more expensive than the cotton
ones and give far more satisfactory
results. Three separate laces are re-
quired. The top one is laced loosely.
to give ease and fullness to the bust.
The second one, which is shorter, is
pulled very tight to compress the waist
line only, and the third string, that
shapes the hips, is looser than the sec
ond, but tighter than the first. One
long string may be used instead of
three by leaving it loose at the top and
knotting it where it tightens above
and below the waist line, then tying
more loosely at the bottom. Much Of
the apparent fiexibility of Yvette Gull
bert's figure depended upon the secret
Of this peculiar lacing.
Corsets are longer on the hips and
snugger than they were last year, and
the bust, though still low, is the least
trife higher.-Chicago Times-Herald.

Every evening comes and fingers
Heath the window Of my cottage in the trees,
And with dark they raise their voices.
While the gathering night rejoices,
And the leaves join in the chorus with the breeze
Then the twinkling stars come out
To enjoy the merry rout,
And the squirrels range themselves upon . log,
And the frefiies furnish light
That they read their notes Alright
The katydid, the cricket and the frog.
All the night hear them singing,
Through my head their tunes ringing,
Strains Of music straight from Mother Natures

Now the katydid and cricket
From the deep of yonder thicket,
Then the croaking frog off yonder drones his part
By and by the moon appears
As the midnight hour nears.
And her smiles dispe the low'ring mist and fog.
Then the mirth is at its height,
And they glorify the night

Countess. de Ca.te1lane's Palace.

Countess de Castellane's Palace.
When the palace of the Countess de
Castellane shall have been completed,
it is her aspiration to establish a salon
In her new home, which bids fair to be
as famous in the present time as were
the French salons of century ago.
What need interfere with it, since
wealth and good taste command the
necessary material surroundings, and
the social following of the Count and
Countess de Castellane is becoming
greater in the French metropolis? In
it's present unfinished state the palace
which the Gould millions is erecting
has not it's equal in France.
The American girls palace abroad
is a reproduction of the Grand Trianon
at Versailles, in Louis QuatOrze style
of architecture. Treasures from near
and far have been brought to serve in
carrying out the owners plans. To give
q brief idea of it's costly and historic
beauty, the instance of buying the pal
ace of Verona in order to obtain mere
ly the ceilings it contained, executed
by Tilpolo, is sufficient. At present the
family occupies the main part of the
mansion, and it is estimated that the
interior of the two wings, one of which
will be a theater and ballroom, will re-
Quire two years longer to decorate.
The establishment is manned by be-
tween 80 and 40 servants, whose num-
Der is augmented when entertainments
are given. The staff includes major
domo, a secretary TO the count, valet,
three footmen, a chef de cuisine. three
assistants, two concierges, hoIsemaids,
butler and assistants, a maid to the
countess and nursery maids, while for
the stable there are three coachmen,
Jockey and a dozen groom men and
stable boys.
Imperial France is recalled in the liv-
cry of the servants, who on feStal days
appear with powdered wigs in addi-
ton to knickerbockers and lace braids.
The regular Castellane livery is blue
coat, black knickerbockers, MORE silk
hose and a red and yellow waist
ceat Full dress uniform is white, with
black plush knickerbockerS and gold
lace.
The estimated cost of the palace, the
property on which it stands and the
interior ornamentation will not be less
than $4,000, Brooklyn Citizen.
