SO now let the war 60 on. It is
none of my doings. For q good while

who let slip the dogs of war for polit-
zeal purposes, would see their mistake
and call off their dogs, but NEST of the
preachers tell them that it is Co... will
and manifest destiny and that the
doors to the heather must be opened

folks can't do anything. / heard
preachers talk that way for war thirty
seven years ago and We thought they
had the Trim and Thummin in their
breeches pockets, but they didn't.
One thing is certain. This war has
done the nation no good morally or fl
nancially, and it has lowered our re-
spect for the army and for military af-
fairs in general, end army beef in par
ticnlar. When our boys once get out
of it they will be apt to stay out and if
we have to send 100. 200 more troops

Many farmers when setting ont trees
by the roadside make the rnisiaksof
planting only one variety, which hap-
pens 10 be the one that they parti.
cularly admire. Bat variety of scenery
adds much to its attrac.iyeness, and a
row Of trees of different kinds shows
in the varying foliage far more beauty
than single variety could do Be-
sides, where there is q long row os
trees, some will be on low and wet
soil, and others on that which is high
aud dry. Besides. each kind of tree
should have the particular soil that it
IS best adapted to. An exception to
this rule Of interspersing varieties is
found where rows Of sugar naples are
planted along roadsides, to be tapped
for sap when old enough. 1t is then
economy to have the trees in unbroken
rows. SO that the sap may be gathered
more easily. A row or grove Of naples
near the house will usually be tapped
every spring, while the more distant
sugar bush may be neglected. when
the woods are full of deep snow and i.
is hard work to get into them.

Crnafne Planting,

The careful use of plants will do
much to produce a hone-like effect.
To make beautiful and harmonious
picture, trees and shrubs should bo
planted in such q manner as to give a
pleasing effect The first essential in
creating beautiful surroundings is the
lawn. It forms the foundation for the
remainder and no pains should be
spared to make it perfect. Arich and
thoroughly prepared soil should be
provided, one which viii retain all the
moisture that it is possible for soil to
retain. Next in Importance to the
lawn comes the Arrangement and
grouping of the plants. Plants in
carefully arranged groups and masses
please much more than disconnected
planting. While we'll arranged groups
are not easy to make. anyone by exer-
cising a little care and patience may
be able to DO SO as well as the man who
makes this his business. All groups
should be arranged to provide as much
lawn as be space will allow and shut
out uncongenial objects on the out
side.
One may consult his own choice in
regard to the plants TO be used in
working ont the picture. Al kinds
can be used to advantage. As gen
eral rule, shrubs are as valuable as any
other class Of plants, as they attain
their character and size quickly and
are easily moved il desired. aud more.

distilled water. which is too expensive
for general use. Soft water is next
best to rainwater, and a little borax
or ammonia IN hard water will soften
it. Brisk rubbing should always fol-

| --timulaE-- i great men
Lave been recorded in their memoirs.
One OF the most remarkable records OF
this kind has come to light in Au-
brey's Brief Lives" founded on notes
taken by the author in the middle OF
the seventeenth century. Few drinks
are more distrusted among BRAIN
workers these days than ale, but
Pyrnne seems to have thought other
wise. He was voluminous
writer, and his pamphlets lost
him his eyes and endangered
him his head. Aubrey informs
us that about every three hours his
{Prynne's) man was to bring him a
roll and pot of ale to refoclllate his
wasted spirits. Sc he studied and ate
and drank and niunched bread, and
this maintained him till night, when
he ate a good supper. Now, he did we'll
not to dine, which breaks OFF oue's
fancy, which will not presently be re-
gained" The danger OF priorl rea-
soning may be seen from the above
| quotation. Those who have forgotten
| ;:bout Prynne would take him, from
| this note of his diet, to be bohemian
| Of a well-known old-fashioned type;
yet he was a stern, uncomproniising
| puritan who suffered mutilation ana
the pillory, and had violent and very
unbohemian prejudice against the
stage. The diet does not then proclaim
the man. We doubt, however, if the
serious student of the end of the nine
teenth century would do we'll to IRE

Prynne was perhaps wise not to dine
which meant to lunch in those days
and implied very hearty meal. Blu

The Fruit Garden.

Preparations for extending the sup
ply of the fruit OF the garden should
be made early every winter and spring,
and even if one only owns small
place, fruit trees, bushes and vines
should be planted and intelligently
cultivated. First, this should be
done for family use, and second for
commercial purposes. The owner OF
a small or large place who does not
raise fruit for home consumption is
not deserving Of the name Of farmer.
A quarter, half Or one acre plot will
yield fruits in variety and abundance.
Only tested kinds of fruit trees and
vines should be planted. Let the
nurseryman experiment with new
sorts, unless you do it on very small
scale for the pleasure gained thereby.
Too many farmers are led to adopt
new varieties of fruits upon slim
grounds of recommendation, and they
lose money invariably by the process.
The accumulated experiences Of the
many will be of use in guiding one in
the selection and cultivation Of all
fruits. This experiment crystalizes
in time in the short, pithy advice
that finds its way in reputable agri-
cultural journals. Some times the
| advice is repeated SO many times that
few are inclined to sniff at il, and
ask for something new. There IS
very little that is absolutely new in
the world, bat our knowledge adj
vances gradually, and in each little
new suggestion that comes as the re-
suit of actual experience proves OF
great value in the long run.
The man who raises apples to-day
cannot expect something from moth
ing. Apple trees need culture. They
require as much intelligent care as
any other fruit. II you are not
willing to give the trees this atten.
ton, it is better not to raise any apple
trees. II you are willing, then select
the very best varieties adapted te
your region; but it would be a pity to
buy first class trees and then stunt
their growth with poor attention.
The apples are a good illustration
years ago that we thought the appl,
trees could take care of themselves
Now there is no profit in apples unless
one makes the raising of them
study. We must select the best trees
guard them against diseases, fertiliz,
and cultivate the soil around them
pick the fruit at the right time, scr
and grade them carefully, and thel
t pack and ship them TO the right mar
ket. Ono mistake in this chain @
, work may knock out all the profits
What is true OF apple culture Is tru
, of all other fruits. It is q period c
. intense competition, and the suryiva
of the fttest will follows. "

BRAIN-WORKER PROPER FOOD
Their Diet and stimuiants Are of Great
Importance,

Woodworking men, especially in the.
learned professions, are often puzzled
rs to the right hours for their meals
and the right diet to be taken at their
meals. The much graver question OF
stimulants also interests them person
ally. The fear Of midday meal is
very common among brain-workers. 4
good luncheon is apt to interfere with
Inspiration, especially if any form Of
alcohol be taken. Tea, very popular
with scholars, is less objectionable as
to its immediate effects, especially
among scholars, who like workwomen,
nearly always take too much nd pre-
fer their tea to be strong, red as
blood as Garrick used to say. The
chief danger in taking toe light a
midday meal is that the student is at
his worst, physically, just before dim
ner time. Hence, dinner is rendered
fresh source CT dyspepsia, and if he
strolls about before the evening meal
he IS apt to take cold.
