up catalogues of an almost endless va
riety Of evergreen and ornamental
trees and shrubs, but a great many OF
them are entirely unsuited to our Gil
mate, not being able to stand our hot,
dry summers. This warning is not IN
tended as any reflection on the nurse
ries in the North and West, for most
of them are noted for their reliability,
but simply to call attention to the loss
and disappointment that is sure to re-
suit from putting out trees and shrubs
that do not suit our climate. Then,
too. it must be borne in mind that we
have great many that will not grow
in the North.
Evcrgrcens, like everything else
worth having, need some care and at
tention, even when they are large, es-
pecially the conifcrae, nearly all OF
which are liable to be attacked By q
very minute insect that works under
the bark. The only remedy against
this special insect is to saw off the
branch that is affected and burn tim
mepiatcly. Very often it does not at
tack the trees at all, but it is we'll to
be on the lookout for the pest.
The poet. n. P. Willis, during his
lifetime was the editor Of a literary
paper in New York, and the motto For
his journal was the following words:
'sWe must do our utmost to encour-
age the beautiful, for the useful en-
courages ITSELF and if this senti-
ment be true one, then it is the
bounden duty of every one to do what
lies in his power to make his home and
its surroundings as beautiful and at
trac.ive as possible; for the measure
of one S refinement, or lack Of it, is. in
large degree, judged blythe outward
appearance Of his home.

Mistake Of o Nought.

The mistake lady recently made
caused her husband to pay $3.50 more
than he had expected, but resulted in a
large increase in the fund being raised
to pay off debt on local church. The
lady is the wife of one of the best
known coal men in this vicinity, and
at the time she made the mistake she
and her husband were at a meeting OF
the church. Of which they are mem :
bers, in a nearby town.
The meeting had been called to
raise funds to pay off pressing debt
against the church. The minister
made an appeal to the congregation
for money, and appointed committee
to take around paper for subscrip-
tions. AS the member of the commit
tee came near the coal man said, in a
whisper, to his wife:
"Put your name down for fifty dol
lars"
The wife wrote her name and placed
the figures opposite, and when the pa
per reached the minister he looked
over tie congregation, and with a
smile, said: II am delighted to see
that Sister Smith has responded SO
nobly to the call [ made and to the
needs of the church. She has put her
name down for $500 dollars, and it is
the largest subscription on the paper.
l know many Of you arc worth more
than the lady who has SO nobly shown
her love for the church, and I hope
you will strive to emulate her noble
conduct. To give you chance I will
again pass around the subscription
paper, and 1 hope that none of
you will fall behind our generous sis
ter.
While the paper was being again
passed around the husband of the lady
became very anxious, and, turning to
his wife, he said: ''How much did you
put DOWN.
"Well,' - said the wife, II intended
to put down $50, but I guess l putone
cipher too much, but for goodness sake
don't let them know that l don't know
how to write $50.
He did not, and paid the $500, and
when the subscription paper was re-
turned second time the subscrip-
tions had been largely increased.

Breaking Down Of the Nervous
