ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

In the fall is the best time to set out
rhubarb plants.
a few well-known sorts are the best
for a commercial orchard.
In buying trees good roots are the
most important item to look after.
With raspberries it will pay to re-
new the planting at least every four
years.
Sweet potatoes should be dug before
there is a hard frost, as they are easily
injured.
Sort all apples carefully before send
ing to market. Get the best price for
the best fruit.
In many cases gardening and fruit
growing combined can readily be made
a practical business.
The ounce does best with n short
trunk, the top branching out few
inches from the ground.
The arbor vitae or Norway spruce
is one of the best varieties of evergreens
to plant for wind-break.
After the garden crops are harvested
pillow up the garden and apply a good
dressing of W ell-rotted manure.
When quality Of fruit is desired the
more branches and top you cHn make
the larger Will be the crop of fruit.
When garden seeds of any kind are
gathered be sure that they are thor
oughly dried out before storing away.
The sooner red ard black raspberries,
blackberries, currants and gooseberries
are set out the better. Early planting
gives a better opportunity to secure a
good root growth before. winter.-St

The counsel for the defendants OBJ

ment of royalties received from Mans

sonally I should have no objection to
giving the figures, but Go not wish to
risk anything which might be preju-
dicial to Mr. Mansffeld.'
Mr.. Rostand said that in writing his
play he had put together the mcst brill
liant parts and had, filled in the minor
parts later. lie said further: The two
first things wrote III 'Cyraro' were the
presentation of the Gascony cadets in
the second act and the ballad in the
first. Mr.. Ccquelin knew these two bits
by heart before the piece was com
pleted. In fact, I had to demonstrate
with him because he insisted on going
around and rcciting them TO people be

Mr.. Rcstand answered Attorney
Reeds questions concerning the alleged
resemblance by declaring that he saw
not the faintest similarity and that the
Chicago writer's play was without
moral and was shallow. He gave long

sALTINe BABIES.
A Practice. sim Followed, That Goes
Back to Bible Times

A Practice, still Followed, That Goes
Back to Bible Times.
'Salting" newly born infants, prac-
tice that dates far back to Biblical times,
still obtains in many parts of the old
world. The Armcnians in the Russian
government of Eriwan cover the whole
surface of the babes body with fine salt,
especial care being taken with the inter-
stices between the fingers and all depres-
sions, such as the armpit and the bend OF
the knee, so that no point shall remain
unsalted.
The unhappy infant Is left in the salt
for three hours or longer and is then
bathed in warm water.
The Armenans of some districts, having
abandoned the practice, are called "un-
sailed" and are despised by the others.
The modern Greeks also sprinkle their
babes with salt. If an enlightened moth
er protests, the midwife is ready with the
objection, "But il it isn't sailed it will
be puny and will never amount to any
thing"
IL this sailing process is carried to ex-
cess, the poor babes don't stand it at all.
The skin becomes as red as fire, the irri-
tation is intolerable, and the child dies in
commissions. Yet there is mountain
tribe in Asia Minor that mercilessly salts
its newborn babes for "a hours, which
shows that the limits of human endur-
ance are wide in some cases. This an
cient custom is still in vogue In many
parts of Germany. but the rites are mere
ly symbolical. In one district a little salt
is rubbed behind the child's ears. in 9TH
ers a pinch of salt is put on the tongue
or little paper of salt is inserted under
the garment. 1t gives understanding. the
people say, and wards off evil spirits.
The action of salt in keeping meat
sound, no doubt, is the reason that this
strengthening and sustaining power was
ascribed to it. The usage became COM
mon in eastern countries, and it was not
entirely confined TO them. The prophet
Ezekiel. referring to the degeneracy of
Jerusalem, says:
"Neither vast thou washed In water
to supple the: thou vast not sailed at all,
nor swaddled at ALL"
To many oriental tribes this means
grave omission of parental duty.-St.
Louis Post-Dspatch.
