In some cases IL will be found that
old fruit trees. though proftless at
present, consist of good salable kinds,
and the question is. BY what means
can such trees be brought into fruit
ful or profitable condition? A fruit
tree of this kind need not necessarily
be improbable because 1t is oil.
though if IT is old and has been neg
lected it must be. We find that many
of this class of tree are what they
are through neglect. The heads have
for years been allowed to become a
tangled mass Of growth. The head
wood has become crowded. so that too
many fruits set, and in the end 10
not come TO a salable size. neither do
they color up as they should do. In
such cases the remedy is simple. The
old. dead growth must be cut out
thoroughly. The moss covered boughs
must be cleaned. All branches that
cross and rub against each other
must be regulated by removal. AMI
generally the pruning or thinning out
process must be carried out in such
a way that when finished the heads
of the trees will be open. and airy,
which will insure free crop of the
best fruits.
If any one will look into the mat
ters with which we deal they will find
that the majority of the profitless
fruit trees we refer TO are planted in
grass land. The fact is instructive,
and it iustifies in the most emphatic
manner the denunciations that we
launched against the system for
years. 1t is utterly impossible to
grow the best apples and pears in
grass land-there can be no doubt
about that. If we pay a visit in the
fruiting season to the fruit trees set
in grass We shall be struck with the
small size of the fruits the trees
usually bear. There may be plenty Of
apples or pears. but there will be few
good sized fruits to be seen among
them. Tillage is of the utmost i'm
portance to fruit trees, but this i'm
portant operation cannot be carried
out when the trees are surrounded
with grass. Aeration, so necessary
in the production of large sized
fruits. becomes impossible, and the
fine surface tilth that is so needful
under good culture cannot be pro-
luced unless the land is open and un-
cropped by grass or any crops grow
ing right up to the stems of the
trees.-Lon1on Globe.

SHORTY" AND HIS MACHINE.
How Tall Telegraph Operators Origi-

nal ideas caused Mixup.
There is a telegraph operator in
Kansas City so tall that every one
calls him Shorty" Some time ago
he brought new typewriter, and
thereby hangs a tale.
The common everyday machine
wasn't quite upto-date enough for
him, so he had one made to order.
The keyboard Is along different lines
from the ordinary machine AMI even
the type has n popularity unto Itself.
He realized that he needed a word
counting attachment, but the counters
on the market were ordinary affairs,
so he bought bicycle cyclometer,
and for three months has been put
ting in all of his spare time in an ef-
fort to convert 1t into word counter.
Another of "Shorty's" up-to-date
improvements is secret sounder."
A secret sounder" is an instrument
which fits over the head and brings
close to the ear the lelicate instru-
ment used in receiving messages from
the wire. There Is no sound audible to
any one excepting the operator who
Is wearing the device, hence the name
secret sounder. The sounler is con
nected by a flexible cord. long enough
to allow the operator to have little
freedom. A stranger dropped into
the newspaper Office where Shorty"
was employed one evening and. see
ing the man on the enl of a rope,
asked why they didn't take that
feller outside If they had to keep him
tethered up that way"
Shorty" was at a newspaper Office
n few nights ago and had occasion
to use his typewriter on a long story.
To say that the copy he turned out
was artistic would be putting II mild
ly-it was a work of art. 1t pleased
him so much that after exulting over
it for Is or 20 minutes and showing
it to "the gang" he laiI IT. down on
the table, took his typewriter in and
placed ii on the telegraph editors
desk. Then he returned to the tele-
graph room well satisfied with him
self and every one else.
The typewriter took up too much
room on the editors desk. and he f.
nally came out and asked shorty"
what he should 10 with it. It was
then discovered that he had delivered
his machine to the telegraph editor
instead Of the story.
In the excitement that followed
there was a wild miNup of operators,
telegraph editors and beer bottles,
and the Office levil who came in to
see what the row was about got so
tangled ut in the wires of the secret
sounder that they both had to be laid
up for repairs. City Journal.

There is no rule for feeding. Is each
individual must be considered sepa-
rately from the others. 1t is rot an
uncommon error to suppose th2t the
animals which eat but little a.e the
most profitable. So long as an animal
is capable of digesting and assimilat-
ing food the greater the amount of
food it should consume. and the more
profitable the returns especially with
producers. such as cows. The proper.
tion of food required to support an
animal and supply waste Of tissue is
less when a large amount of food is
eaten than when smaller quantity

A Small Watch.

The Dowager Duchess of Suther-
land, who is credited with possessing
the only crystal watch in existence
having transparent works. made for
the most part of rock crystal. had the
works removed from miniature
watch and placed inside a magnificent
diamond having n diameter not ex-
ceeding the depth of four lines of or
binary type. Small as this timepiece
was. It is surpassed in diminutiveness
by what was Justly described as the
Smallest watch in the world" which
was exhibited at the watch exhibition
in Berlin recently. Made OF fine gold,
this miscroscopic watch had the di-
mensions of a pea; that Is to say. its
diameter of 1.2 millimeters. which
is practically a quarter Of an inch,
would equal in depth three lines of
type; 4S0 OF these watches would
weigh about one pound avoirdupois,
IL there existed any one possessing
a heart sufficiently adamant to per-
NIT so brutal a weight as avoirdupois
to be applied to so delicate mechan-
ism. Made of gold and valued at

ute hand as long as an ordinary-sized

Hardening on.

"Hardenng off" Is a. term well un-
derstooi by gardeners. but whether
1t is properly carried out in prac.
tice is another consideration. We
see so many plants injured or IRE
trievably lost by hastily pitching
them out of the houses and exposing
them at once to the burning sun, that
1t appears only right to convey a few
words of caution to those who adopt
\this method. 1t does not pay any one
70 get his plants burned up or in
ured. as the appearance Of his flow
n beds or even pot plants thus
reated would be very unsatisfactory
pfor a long time afterwards. When
the plants are removed from the
greenhouse. they require to be grad
ually exposed to the full influence of
the sun. or course. where there are
plenty of cold frames, this can be
easily done. but such is not often the
case.
A good warm sheltered position
should be chosen, under a wall fence
of some kind, when first exposed. AMI

material can be placed over them so
much the better, so as to admit of air
and to screen them from the sun.
This can be removed after a few
days, If possible, choosing dull
weather to do so. II tiffany is not
procurable. a few branches Of ever
greens placed over them will answer
the same purpose. or many OF the
harder kinds of plants can be
placed under shelter of trees or
shrubs until wanted to plant out. The
same caution in the matter of hard
ening off, applies to such things as

Canal street, New Orleans, is about
1876 feet wide between the sidewalks.
On each side of the pavement there is
a roadway 81 feet wide. on which is all
the traffic. In the centre of the street.
there is q section 60 feet wide, which
has been known as neutral ground, on
which the local street railways have
laid their tracks. Recently an effort
has been made to Improve the condi-
ton of the street and after considera-
BILE study it was determined to pave
this central section with concrete. Ac-
cordingly a regular concrete pavement,
such as that used in sidewalks was
laid down, the bottom of which ex-
tends to- the bottom of the ties upon
which the rails are laid Instead of
being solid mass, 1t Is laid down in
blacks with sand joints. Eight inch
sand joints are provided between the
paving and the rails to prevent spread
Ing OF fractures which may develop
after time. This also permits of the
ready repairing of the rails. or re-
newing of bonding without great ex-
pense. The experiment of using q
concrete surfaceway In streets will
be watched with much interest by mu-
nicipal engineers.
