and beside this it can be gotten at any

This is the best method of burying cab

1t is only in exceptional cases that it
can be considered advisable to pillow in
the orchard late in the fall or early win
ter. OF course there may be cases
when it may be best. but II is the ex-
ception rather than the rule. Any dis
turbance Of the soil within anything
like q reasonable distance of the trunk

turb the roots to more or less extent.
OF course with young growing tree,
where more or less cultivation has been
given all through the growing season,
this disturbance of the roots is not any.

established orchard and especially one
that has been seeded down is plowed.

Of fruit trees there ls q natural tendency
to grow near the surface, so that in
blowing some would DO exposed to cold

Setting Posts.

Farmers sometimes claim that when q
post is set in the ground with the butt
end down it will rot more quickly than
other posts which have the butt end of
the timber upward. have thought
this popular superstition until re-
Gently having had some experience
am inclired to think there are sufficient
scientific reasons to believe it true. A
few years ago, says q writer in Rural
NeU Yorker, set board fence, saw
ing the posts tapered and cutting them
alternately wide and narrow to get the
taper. Of course half these posts have
the butts reversed as to the position the
timber had in the tree. Now after ten
years, half those posts have rotted off
in the ground and half exactly are
sound. Of course there is no proof
that the reversal of the timber had
anything to do with this fact, but it is
very strong presumptive proof Of it. !
have recently set some similar posts and
marked them and in time, if live long
enough, this matter will be settled in
my mind. This is the fact, now here is
my explanation of it which is based on
a scientific principle. We know that
the sap of tree goes up from the roots
to the very top, and tip Of every twig
We know, too. that mere capillary at
traction is not sufficient to raise the sap
so high as this. We know, too, that a
vacuum in the tree which might exist
would not raise the liquid to greater
height than thirty feet or 80. Then how
does the sap get from the roots to the
top Of pine tree over one hundred feet
high? It does this by beautiful pro-
cess Of nature which we call osmose
This is the effect of function by all
membranes, by which any liquid hold
ing any substance in solution on one
side of the membrane, and which solu-
ton differs in density or specific gravity
passes through the membrane Of the
matter held in solution until the density
of the liquid in each cell becomes the
same. 1t is easily perceived that in this
way, step by step, each Of infinitesimal
length, tho matters held in solution BY
the sap and by which the tree is fed g
up through the cells from the tip of thu
roots, which absorb it from the soil tt
the very tip of the highest twig where
the bud is ready to receive its food thu
carried up to it through all these cells
This process goes on in timber after it i
cut from the tree and becomes post,
the moisture being absorbed by thes
posts which are set as the timber stood
in the tree, but not by those that ar
reversed. Thus these are more dur
able than the others. | do not feel quite
sure about this yet but it seems to be
worthy of thought.

Paul Jones Was Prosecuted.
From, the philadelphia Bulletin.


Should Congress take the action now pro-
posed and bring back the mortal remains
Of our first sea hero, John Paul Jones, it is
at this port the landing ought to be made.
1t was from this port that John Paul sailed
on some of his most venturesome cruises.
It is from Philadelphia that his commits
sions are dated. Singularly enough, 1t
was on the vessel confided to John Paul
by Congress that the first national flag
was hoisted and the Official record is some
Thing of a romance. The event is thus
recorded in the journals of Congress:
Resolved, That the flag of the thirteen
United States be thirteen stripes. alternate
red and white In a blue field, representing
a new constellation.
Resolved, That Capt John Paul Jones
be appointed TO command the ship
Ranger"
Jones had before this suffered untold at
fronts from the Naval Committee, though
he had fairly clothed Washington's army,
when it was most in need of clothes, by
his captures from the British. In the
meanest of improvised vessels he had bold
Nv attacked the British conveys, and in
every attempt he had won his prey. For
months at a time, while the British fleets
were securing our waters, John PAU aver
afied two or three prizes week; frequent
ly a prize day. Yet the jealousy OF the
native rank and file in the navy kept him
back, and to the end he was cheated out
of his ranking number in the navy lists.
With the Ranger he crossed the Atlantic,
and for a year became the terror Of the
British coasts. One of the objects he had
most at heart was the capture Of enough
Britons to make the enemy exchange pris-
oners taken IN the colonies who were
treated In the most barbarously inhuman
manner IN British hulks and fortresses.

has too many friends.
Hepburn and Grosvenor two very strong
men, want to change the rules Hender-
son wants 10 hold on TO the present rules.
Hepburn wants the House to do the legis-
lating: Henderson wants the Speaker TO
perform that job just as the Speaker has
been performing 1t for ten years--Reed
six and Crisp four. Grosvenor wants to
enlarge the Committee on Rules, increase
its powers and make Il independent of the
Speaker which would be making of the
Speaker as much of a figurehead in the
House as the Vice President Is in the
Senate. Henderson has no objection to the
Committee on Rules, but he wants 10 DOM
mate 1t as Reed denominated 1t. There is
a pretty chance for quarrel right there.
and If the Democrats choose a tactfuI
man for speaker, and they have the most
factful man In public life on their side.

wrath on both sides OF the dispute, and a

thus be put 10 boiling.

The Hon. David II. Henderson Is in

mighty undertaking. 1t Is the toughest
job devolving on an American statesman.
The Apostle Paul could not come down

is tradition for It that that transaction

ident in 1876 Everybody remembers what
a roar Of derisive laughter went up when
the clerk read the names OF Springer and
Holman IN the committee assignments OF
the Fifty-second Congress. But Hender-
son is already out OF the woods. He will
be speaker without buying H. as were Car
