Ahont C,,ttinr Wood.


Every farmer who plans to do large
seasons work cannot overlook the i'm
portance Of having his years supply OF
fuel on hand and ready for use not
later than April /. With some it is
not very hard task, for in many To-
calities where timber is scarce coal IS
largely used for heating and oil for
cooking purposes. During the past ten
years a number of different kinds OF
trees have been dying, and the farmer
who owns ten or more acres of hard
wood timber finds that the dead trees
accumulate in spite of the fact that the
quantity of fuef is larger each year as
the quality deteriorates. Some farm
ers were wise and sold off the varieties
that were subject to decay and avoid
ed a loss from this source. Others.
however, were in hopes that they
would be able to use the diseased trees
for fuel before they became worthless.
Here is where they made a mistake.
And this is why we see so many Old
dead trees in the woods. These are in
some cases so rotten around the out
side close to the bark. the sap wood,

AN HEROIC FRENCH NURSE.
The Cross Of the Legiou of Honor Bestowed
on Mother Mary Teresa.

In presence of all the French troops
guarding the capital Of Tonquin the
Governor General bestowed the Gross
of the Legion of Honor on Mother
Mary Teresa, Superior Of the Sisters
of Charity in that empire. The troops
were drawn up in the little plaza Of
the city in square surrounding plat
form, on which were the Governor
General and his staff.
The General, in solemn and inn
pressive tone, addressed her as fol-
lows:
Mother Mary Teresa, when you
were twenty years Of age you received
wound from a cannon ball while as
sisting one of the wounded on the field
at Balaklava. In 1859 the shell from a
mitrailleuse laid you PROSTATE in the
front ranks on the battlefield Of Ma
genta. Since then you have been in
Syria, in China, and in Mexico, and II
you were not wounded 1t was not be-
cause .rou have not exposed yourself.
"In 1870 you were taken up in Refs
hoffen covered with many sabre
wounds. Such deeds of heroism you
have crowned few weeks ago with
one of the most heroic actions which
history records. A grenade fell upon
the ambulance which was under your
charge-you took up the grenade in
your arms; yousmiled upon the wounds
ed who looked at you with feelings Of
dismay; you carried it distance of
eighty metres. On laying it down you
noticed that it was going to burst; you
threw yourself on the ground; it burst;
you were seen covered with blood, but
when persons came to your assistance
you rose up smiling, as is your wont.
You were scarcely recovered from
your wound when you returned to the
hospital whence I have now summon
ed you.''
Then the General made her kneel
down and, drawing his sword, touched
her lightly with it three times on the
shoulder and pinned the Cross of the
Legion of Honor on her habit, saying:
II put upon you the cross of the
brave, in the name Of the French people
and army No one has gained it by
more deeds of heroism, nor by life SO
completely spent in self-abnegation for
the benefit of your brothers and the
service of your country. Soldiers, pre-
sent armsv'
The troops saluted, the drums and
bugles rang out, the air was filled with
loud acclamations, and all was jubila-
ton and excitement as Mother Teresa
arose, her face suffpsed with bushes,
and asked:
General, are you done?"

The Seed distribution Fake.

Who gets any real and lasting benefit
from the Government free distribution
Of seeds? Most Of our horticulturists
will answer, Nobody but the man who
gets the contract for furnishing the
seed" A writer suggests that this
money, instead of being spent in this
way, be divided up into generous sized
awards to be given to the men and
women who develop and originate new
and valuable varieties Of fruits, grains,
vegetables and grasses. AS rule, the
person who has the genius and pa
thence to develop something valuable
has his product taken away from him
by all nurserymen and seedmen getting
it after the first year or so, thus enab-
ling him to realize but little for his la
Dor. A reward Of this kind would be
a great stimulus for workers in this di-
rection, and, we think, would result in
great and permanent good.-Wallace's

Saving the Trees.

In order to save the beautiful trees
which it is necessary to remove in con-
structing the buildings for the Paris
exposition an ingenious method has
been devised by the engineers in
charge Of the enterprise. Trees. roots
and the surrounding earth are inclosed
in heavy plank bins built around them,
and are then bodily lifted into the air
and kept suspended there until the ex-
cavations and building foundations are
completed, when, if there is room. the
trees are let down into former posi-
tons. The plan has been found to
work admirably, and it is so simple
and practical that it might be adopted
wherever it is necessary to disturb
trees in the course of building opera
tions.-New York Mail and Express.

METHOD OF SPLITTING WOOD.

that it requires some skill to split a
block into stove wood without break
ing good many sticks in two. The
illustration shows how one successful
wood cutter does the work and seems
to be very simple. At a, the block is
split through the center, paking two
halves. The lines running from the
outside to the heart are where it should
be again split to make slabs like b.
The cross marks on end Of slab b tell
their own story. In splitting OF the
outside slabs from b, always strike far
enough toward the heart to get Sec
ton Of sound timber with it. II you
fail to do this it will break like C, and
much of the block will be wasted

Care of Monthly Roses.

Two courses may be pursued in a
severe climate in the winter care of
tender roses. They may be taken up,
removing the leaves. and place them
In q box of soil, covering the roots as
if planted. In this way they may be
kept in cellar. maintaining some
moisture In the soil. until spring and
ready for replanting in the open. The
other course Is to leave them where
they have grown, draw up some soil
about the stems, and then cover all
over securely with litter or leaves.
The best way to use evergreen
branches. if one can get them, laying
them over the plants, and then placing
a thick covering of leaves or little over
all. 1t is also further protection to
box around the plants and cover with
boards to keep out the wet-but this
is not absolutely necessary. Il the

Armour's Venture in Eggs.

1t was learned recently that the Ar
mour Packing Company completed ar
rangements for embarking in the bust
ness of separating the whites and yolks
Of eggs, canning them separately,
freezing them and placing them on the
market. During the last year the Ar
mours have gone extensively into the
egg business, and have succeeded in
creating a great demand for the new
product.
AS the eggs are canned at present
some thirty dozen eggs are put up in
a gallon can. When a baker uses
thirty or forty dozen eggs in day, it
takes time to break the eggs and sep
arate them under the old plan. The
new venture promises to be money
saver for the large handlers of eggs.
