FLOWER AND TREE.

Pruning TO excess or too frequent or
too long is weakening to the tree.
When n branch is removed. the cut
ting should be close. leaving no stub.
The apple. pear, ounce and thorn
can be grated one on another, with va
rying success.
Wormy fruit in the orchard is best
disposed of by the sheep. They eat all
without making any choice, as pigs do.
Planting n few trees every fall or
spring. as may be convenient. helps
materially to keep up a supply of good
fruit.
The cherry, peach, apricot, nectarine
and almond require Il light, dry and
warm soil, but may be grown on loose,
sandy soils.
Saltpeter is recommended as a quick
acting fertilizer for flower beds that
seem to be languishing. especially
those that show small aud pale leaf
age.
Peach and plum trees are both less
liable to diseases when grown in the
poultry yard. The trees will make Z
better growth and at the same time
afford shade for the fowls.
Geraniums that have been used for
summer boomers will not flower again
until the late spring months. Gerani-
ums for winter blooming should be
grown especially for that purpose by
keeping the flower buds nipped off IN
til August.

Love at First Sight.

We talk of love at first sight, but
what shall we say of people who have
never seen each other marrying and
being not unhappy? Counting" said
an Irishman. lis like dying-sure a man
must do it for himself
In some countrieS-as. for instance.
Sweden-this is not the case. There the
marriages of young people are made
for them by their parents, and they
only begin to court when they are we'd
ded. This sounds wrong and absurd in
theory. but it often works well in prac-
tice. Indeed young people ask the adj
vice of their parents much too little
about that which is perhaps the most
serious and important undertaking in
life-marriage. 100 many of them are
like the young lady who said she hoped
she might be cut into ten thousand
triangIes If she did not know more of
everything than did her mother. So
they consult no one and insist on gain
ing experience at a great cost to them
selves.-Philadelphia Ledger.

CONQUERED HER RIVAL.
A Pretty and Pathetic story of Jenny
Lind and Grisi.

ana
We have recently read n beautiful
incident. Jenny Lind and Grisi were
both rivals for popular favor in Lon
don. Both We're invited TO sing the
same night at a court concern before
the queen. Jenny Lind, being the
younger, sang first and was so dis
turbed by the fierce. scornful look of
Grlsi that she was at the point of
failure when suddenly an inspiration
came to her
The accompanist was striking the
final chords. She asked him to rise
and took the vacant seat. Her fingers
wandered over the keys in loving
prelude, and then she sang 4 little
prayer which she had loved as child.
She hadn't sung it for years. AS she
sang she was no longer in the pres
ence OF royalty. but singing TO loving
friends I'm her fatherland.
Softly at first the plaintive notes
floated on the air. swelling louder and
richer every moment The singer
seemed to throw her whole soul into
that weird. thrilling, plaintive pray
err" Gradually the song died away
and ended i'm n sob. There was a ST.
lence-the silence OF admiring wonder.
The audience sat spellbound. Jenny
Lind lifted her sweet eyes to look into
the scornful face that had so discOn-
certed her. There was no fierce ex-
preston now; instead a teardrop glis-
tened on the long. black lashes. and
after n moment. with the impulsive-
ness Of a child of the tropics, Grisi
crossed to Jenny Lind's side, placed
her arm about her and kissed her.

THE HANDY FOLDING RULE.
An Old standby of the Mechanic In
Greater Demand Than Ever.


Greater Demand Than Ever.
'There are about a million different
kinds of rules" said a dealer in hard
ware and tools. ''the rules being some
thing of well nigh universal use in one
form or another in pretty much all
trades. but here's one old standby that
we sell more of now than ever, this be-
ing the folding rule.
"There are plenty of rules that fold,
the commonly known two foot rule
being familiar example. but this par
ucular old rule that l speak of is known
by name as the folding rule.
1T Is made in foot long sections, in
various lengths, ranging from two TO
ten feet and over ten, if required. but
three feet. five feet. any number of
feet. the rule, whatever its total length,
folds up completely into a bundle a
foot long. The Stats are thin and fold
ed up. and even ten foot rule takes
up little room. 1t can be quite conven-
iently carried in tile pocket.
Lots of people use folding rules
plumbers. for instance. in measuring
pipes and i'm measuring places for
pipes. In measuring a distance great
er than the spread of the arms with
tape two men are required, but one
man can measure with a folding rule
as far as the rule can reach. and with
such Il rule he eau. single handed,
measure around corners or in the an
giles of wall and ceiling or in any other
bend or crevice. We sell lots of them
nowadays to electricians, who use them
in measuring for wiring houses. and
we sell them to various other users.
the six foot rule being the one most
commonly sold.
'Such rules. of whatever length, are
sold by the foot, at 8 cents a foot
