Care of Peach Trees.

Peach trees should not be forced in
growth too rapidly, nor should they be
deprived of a sufficiency of plant food
Orchards should be kept clean and cul
uvated like corn. Peach growers hec.
mnend that trees should be so trim
med as to shape each tree in a manner
to shade its own body, and thus pre-
vent sun scalds. Distribute the growth
Of limbs uniformly so as to secure sym
metry and have the weight of fruit
evenly distributed. Strengthen the
limbs by shotening them back-in or
der that they may sustain a crop. Re
duce the quantity Of fruit when the
trees are overloaded, and also. by ju-
aicious shortening early in the season.
Of the shoots bearing the fruit buds,
and direct the growth SO that the crop
ca nbe gathered by a man standing oD
he ground.

The Spider.

The spider has a tremendous appe.
tite and his gormandizine defies all hu-
man competition. A scientist who
carefully noted spiders consumption

that If the spider were built proportion

at daybreak approximately a sinai

Yet in spite Of his enormous appetite
a spider has wonderful power of re-
framing from food, and one has been
known to live ten months when abso-
lutely deprived of food. A beetle lived

worn for various reasons. Some wom-
en- like them because they are comfort

slippers are not a bit more conducive

selected judiciously. Indeed, they are
less comfortable In the long run, for
the woman who is addicted to slippers
Is bound to have swollen feet a good

c,RcuMsTANT,AL EVIDENCE.

strongest Chain Of discriminating In.
cidents May Prove Errone 'us.
A recent incident in London serves
to prove that the strongest chain Of
circumstantial evidence may be defect
i've.
A visitor at the American circus ex
changed comments with a well-dressed
stranger who sat by his side. and used
his own opera-glass freely. Midway
in the performance the stranger re-
marked:
II have been here several times, and
know the best features Of the show. ]
advise you to watch closely with your
glass what Is now going on In the
farthest ring. 1t is one Of the most
interesting numbers of the program"
The advice was followed. The visitor
watched eagerly the performance IN the
distance, and when it was finished
thanked his neighbor for the hint, say
ing that it was well worth seeing. The
stranger assented, and after moment
ary delay left his seat, saying that ae
would not stay to the end. as he had
seen the show several times.
1T is your first visit here" he added
"and you would better remain for the
last act, which is the best Of the even
Ing"
Not long afterward the visitor missed
his watch, and felt sure it had been
stolen by the stranger while the opera
glass was In use. The police at Scot
land Yard advised the victim the next
day to advertise for the watch. anG
also to open negotiations with several
of the largest pawnbrokers for Its re
covery, leaving with them descrip

pocket" he added, land must help mt
in having him arrested and convicted
The pawnbroker admitted that the
evidence was strong enough to conv!ci
tie man. but added that he had abso
lute faith in his innocence. He asked
the loser to write to the matchmaker
and ascertain whether, by any chance,
two watches had been marked with the
!, same number.
This was done, and q reply was re-
ceived. stating that, by accident, two
watches had been marked with the
sine number and wore exactly alike
One of them had been sold to an En-
glishman, whose name was given In
the letter. The pawnbroker, when the
| name was repeated. exclaimed:
That is the name Of the man who
pawned the watch because he was
penniless! knew that he could not be
pickpocket."
Nevertheless, the innocent man would
have been convicted II he had been
hastily arrested. The circumstantial
evidence would have been regarded as
conclusive.-Youth's Companion.

Georgetown Boy Who Owned Up to
Another's Ofense.
That the days Of chivalry are not
over and that the spirit Of Damon and
Pythias is not dead is demonstrated by
an incident that occurred at George
town University and has just leaked
put. A poor young man who had work
ed his way through college passed his
examination and had alluring pros
poets Of employment as soon as the
graduating exercises were over, went
out with a party Of students for lark
one night and got into mischief, as
young men often do. 1t was not a dis
graceful act, but it was u violation Of
one Of the most serious rules of diseip-
line, and expulsion was the penalty.
The culprit was unknown, except to
his companions, and they being scru-
pulous in the observance of the code Of
college honor, sealed their lips. But
the Jesuit fathers, who compose the
faculty. were unusually energetic in
their Investigations and the evidence
was closing around the poor young
man in a manner that made him trem-
Die. when Robert A. w. Walsh, sopho-
more from st. Louis, entered the office
Of the president and said: Il did it."
Walsh was quiet, well behaved boy,
popular with the faculty and the stu
dents, and his confession created a
sensation, for he had not been suspect
ed. Nevertheless, discipline must be
enforced, and with reluctance and re-
gret he was expelled from the institu
ton. He left Washington, escorted to
the railway station by a large body of
students, returned to his home at st.
Louis and the next fall entered Prince
ton University. The poor young man
received his diploma and went his way
rejoicing, but 1t was noticed that he
never spoke of Walsh without emo
hon. As the young men are no longer
cessity of preserving the secret, and
the faculty and the students are all
aware that Walsh, being an under-class
man and the son Of wealthy parents,
and having nothing at stake, vOluntari-
y offered himself as a sacrifice to save
the reputation and the prospects of his
friend, who otherwise would have been
turned out of the institution In dis
grace The act was done without con-
sultation and without the knowledge
Of the student who was saved, and has
received absolution, and Walsh can re-
turn to the university whenever he de-
sires. He prefers to remain at Prince
ton, however, and the publication of
he story now will not injure his repu-
tation.-Chicago Record.
