The laying OF the foundation stone
of the Gordon College in the Soudan i:
an indication of the practical character
of British colonization, which unites
piety for Gordon's memory and anxiety
for necessary and useful work with ths
thorough assurance of the conqueror;
of territory. The Soudan has been de.
livered from the dominion of the cruel
Baggnras, a fact which will be of i'm,
mense Importance for the growth OF
the new province. The laying OF the
foundation stone also signifies that the
English established themselves in the
Soudan with the intention of remain
ing there.-Berlin National Zeitung.

There is a'common complaint among
farmers that their orchards are dying
out because of the intense summer
droughts which visit nearly every
part of the country once every
year or two. Thousands of orchards
are rotting away, and in nine cases
out of ten this reason will be given as
the primary cause. Next to this is
the damage done to the trees by the
excessive cold of severe winters,
especially in the northern belt of the
States.
Both Of these causes are traceable
to poor cultivation or lack of cultiva-
ton. Trees can stand more drought
than grains or any of our vegetables,
and it must be dry season indeed to
injure them to any great extent.
Consequently if we gave the same
cultivation to them as we do to the
grain plants, sufficient moisture would
be drawn from the underground re-
servoirs to keep them in healthy
growing condition. Good cultivation
means good drainage, and where trees
have proper drainage they are not apt
to suffer much from winter freezing.
There issuch close connection be-
tween summer drought and winter
freezing that one cannot be considered
independent of the other. 1t is be-
cause we have Just the soil for freez-
ing the roots OF the trees with ice that
our trees are injured in winter. If
the soil is cultivated in summer, and
properly drained, there will be little
danger of the trees being badly in
iured by the coldest weather.
Tho damage done to the trees by
freezing is due to tho excessive
moisture that collects in the soil in the
fall. The soil is thick and heavy,
and the water collects in the soil and
cannot escape. Then when cold
weather comes the roots of the trees
are frozen up in solid cakes of ice. 1t
is this, and the alternate thawing and
freezing, that Injuries the trees of our
orchards. The remedy is very plain.
By giving perfect drainage to the
soil in the fall of the year the surplus
water will run off, and when cold
weather comes the roots will not be
frozen up in ice. Then if mulch is
placed around the trees to keep an
even temperature there is little chance
of injury being done to our hardy
orchard trees.
There are plenty who wrap protect
ing material around the trunk of the
trees, and bandage them up generally
like mummies, and entirely neglect
the roots. The damage is always
below the ground and not above it.
Give little more' attention to the
roots, and the winters will do less
permanent damage to the trees

DOCTOR TOO LATE.
The Mosquito Had Saved the Snake
bitten Man-An Ayue Cure.

bitten Man-An Ague Cure.
New York Press: "Talkin about
rattlesnakes," said an Erie railroad
brakeman, did you ever hear how the
mosquitoes saved a mans life up near
Gulf Summit last summer? Well, while
getting out railroad ties in a slashin'
over back of the Summit. Abe More
house was bitten in the leg by rat
tlesnake. Susquehanna doctor was
at once sent for and the leg was band
aged tightly above the wound. 1t
was expected that Morehouse would
die before the doctor could come up
the pike on his bike. Just as soon as
the leg was barred to put on the band
age 1t was attacked by a swarm of
mosquitoes, and when the doctor ar
rived he found the man as lively as a
cricket and in no need of doctor, but
the ground was covered with dead and
dying mosquitoes. They had sucked
the poison from the wound and saved
Warehouses; life. The mosquitoes pre-
sented their bills and died. The doc
tor presented his bill and got his
money. This was hard on the NOS
quitoes, but l presume Warehouses;
life was worth savin'. There was Sol
Timson, another brakeman. Sol used
to brake on the Delaware division,
from Susquehanna to Port Jervis. He
had the ague awfully. Had it so bad
that some of his teeth shook out, and
he shook the buttons off his coat. A
lot of his friends had sure cures for
the ague, and each gave him the pre-
scription. At last when he had 13
prescriptions, he took them all to
Port Jervis drug store and had them
put up. He took them home and put
them all into one jug. Then he shook
the jug, mixed the 10 prescriptions
thoroughly, and took three doses. He
never shook again until the hearse
struck a stone"

Planting Ornamental Shrubs.

Ornamental shrubs, according to
Fl. Il. Jones, before the New Jersey
Horticultural Society, to be desirable
must have some particular merit OF
their own, such as beautiful foliage or
towers, must be adapted to the local
ity in which they are grown and must
be hardy. They will thrive in any
good garden soil, and to be most eff
fective should be massed. Do not
place them in dense shade. Stiy the
ground around the roots frequently
The first season. Among the shrubs
which are considered desirable are the
different kinds of spiraea, lilacs, mock
orange, red towering currant, wild
olive, Japan SNOWFALL, various kinds
of hydrangeas, rose OF Sharon, purple
leaved birch, purple leaved maple,
California privet, clematis Jackmanni,
Japan lily, Virginia creeper and the
honeysuckle.

Destroying the San Jose Scale.

Professor John r. Smith in Ento-
mological News tells of testing crude
petroleum to destroy the San Jose
scale upon fruit trees, with the idea
chat it was as good an insecticide as
kerosene, and not SO violent in its
action. The first trial was on row
of dwarf pear trees badly infested by
the scale. One pear tree was painted
from the base to the tips of the twigs
with the crude oil in January. The
fruit set normally and fair crop.
There were few dead spurs on the
tree, but other trees no worse infest-
ed but not treated died either wholly
or in part, and at the time of writing,
the pears-Duchess-w ripening
normally, and as perfect as any of
their kind, while the tree was then
one of the most vigorous in the or
chard, and the scales were entirely de-
stroyed.
When it was found this tree was
not killed dozen similar trees were
sprayed when leaved out and partly
in blossom. One side was treated
one day, and the other several days
after, when the wind had changed.
The spraying was very thorough each
time, and few shoots near the CEN
tire of each tree were killed, but the
rest of the tree developed naturally,
and fruit was all that could be desired
on September IA. The oil appeared
to have o stimulating effect, and the
trees from the worst in the orchard
have become the best.
An orchard of 200 Ben Davis apple
trees eight years set was sprayed from
April IA to %, and on September 10
was as fully loaded with fruit as any
similar trees in the vicinity which had
not been treated. He thinks the
crude oil is no. only less injurious to
vegetation than kerosene, but that 1T

CAPTAIN BALTZELL TALKS

Montgomery, November n.-(Special)-
The announcement in The Age-Herald this
morning that the populists of the state are
to hold a conference in Birmingham ON The
24th of the present month has caused a
great deal of comment and speculation in
Montgomery today. The general opinion
here is that this conference will endeavor
to disband the populist party in Alabama,
by the passage of resolutions advising the
members Of THE party to go into the demo-
cratic primaries and endeavor wherever
possible to capture the democratic ma
cIhinery.
Captain Frank Baltzell, one of the leading
members of the party in Alabama, and
formerly editor of the Alliance Herald, was
seen by represen, ative Of The Age-Herald
this morning, and he was very free in ex-
pressing mis- opinion of the meeting. Cap
tain Baltzell said that he knew nothing of
iH1e conference, and when shown list of
the names signed to the resolutions passed
at the informal meeting held in Birming
ham yesterday said that none save the
followers of Governor Johnston had been
invited to attend the conference. He said
That it was nothing more than an effort to
place the party in position where 1T could
be used by Governor Johnston, and that
THE men who were present yesterday were
only ofice-holders, and were from counties
where lit was thought that the democratic
machinery could be captured in a primary.
He was severe in This arraignment of those
present, and said that they could not carry
the rank and file of the party with them.
Captain Baltzell's opinion is very geher-
ally accepted here as THE true theory. 1t
is known that Judge CASTOR, Judge Adams
Representative Reynolds and others of
those present yesterday are taken into the
governors council and are among his chief
advisers.
