A P0xtman's Big Burden of Magazines.
A Washington postman has been
made weary of his job by the Ladies

very rich soil. This method has the
drawback that plants do not fruit at

certainly do if transplanted from a hot
bed. When bur ~artichOkes are grown
in regions where the winters are at all

uorticultural observs,ion-

TIE Japanese plums are beginning
to appear in some quantities in the

brought good prices this year. Where
they can be grown they are destined
to play an important roe, as their
flavor and color are in their favor.
The fact that they bear abuu iantls IL

courage their further planting.
An advocate of summer pruning ex-
presses the opinion that pruning may
be done in summer that cannot we'll
be done at any other time OF year
namely cutting away the inside
branches where the tree is too dense
to permit the sunlight to get into all
its parts. The reason is that when the
leaves are on the branches the Gegree
of denseness OF the tree may be un-
derstood much better than when the
leaves have fallen.

Old MOnitors and New.

At P~ennsgrove, on the Delaware
River, the Ajax and the Passaic, two
Of the singleturret monitors that were
built in 1862, are being destroyed by
dynamite.
Thirteen Of the old monitors were in
existence at the close of the Spanish
American War. Six of them are now
laid Up at the League Island Navy
Yard, and five are in use as training
ships for the naval militia of various
states. Al have been condemned, and
would be sold IL 4 Purehaser could be
found. They cost, on an average, half
a million dollars apiece. The firm tina,

tors are an inch thick, but some Of
them make think of spiders webs.
They bear conclusive evidence, in the

craft of her type could lead. Heated
engagements at Fort Sumter. Charles

Rated by modern standards, these
old monitors were neither speedy nor
powerful. They could steam but five

ed only two smoe.h-ssrs fi~fteen-pound-
ers. The deub,e-turreted monitor. the

one of them. He did not. in India,

cats. He may not be afraid Of pussy,
but he avoids her.

HumOrs Of the Siege.

In times of lCng-continued danger,
men often seek to relieve the strain by
turning to account anything which
can be called a joke. The brave de-
tenders of Kimberley found plenty to
laugh at even in times Of lombard
ment, and the recently published jour-
nal of DR.. Oliver Ashe lays stress on
the humors of the siege.
It was very funny to see ali tbs
towns big swellS either fetching their
meat themselves or sending a member
of their family for 1t. Parsons, law
yers, doctors, business men-xs were
all there, and it vas a hugh joke that
We We're all in the same box; but 1t
is well that the joke didn't last too
long.
At times the Smelling wal very
severe, and buglers were constantly
on duty to give warning when the big
siege guns of the Beers were fired. Ii
the bugler got his little tune OF
smart, there We're about fifteen see-
onds in which to dodge under a wal!
or rush into your fort.
Men took this Inconvenience in diff
ferent ways. One nervous man was ac-
tually seen to put up an umbrella
when the bugler sounded the warning
of a coming shell, while, when another
exploded within 4 few yards of an
Irish policeman. the only notice he
took of it was to remark:
"Begob, fwhat will they be play!a'
at next?"
l had a shell-proof fort constructed
under my house, and my servants were
told that they could come into it any
tine they heard the bugle.
Lizzie did come in a few times, When
she was handy. but as a rule she did
not bother. and was really very plucky.

hind the big water-tank. don't think
that would have saved him. bat he
was happy there; so that was all right.
He was very funny. One day we
heard Lizzie lecturing him about some
