Prnnlne OId Anple Trees.

Professor Taft, in the New York
Farmer, says that it is well to go slow
in saving off the lower limbs in a neg
lected orchard sufficiently high to per.
nit cultivation. The injury might be
greater than the benefits that could be
secured from cultivation.
Ordinarily the best time to prune old
trees is just before the growth starts
in the spring, but as this is generally
busy time on the farm, the work may
be done in the late fall or winter. If
the branches are not frozen when the
pruning is done the injury will be
slight
If the trees are making a rank
growth and are unfruitful, It will Of
ten be found advisable to delay the
pruning until the last of May. Then
the trees, being in leaf, will be sub
lected to a check, and the formation
Of fruit buds will be promoted.

The Chatelaine Bag.

They say that the feminine tourist
hailing from America and wandering
over Europe is spotted by her chate-
laine bag. She has other ear marks,
but this is the most imposing one. OF
late the chatelaine bag has become a
necessity.
Only a woman realizes what a won
iderfully convenient thing chatelaine
is. One woman who lives out on Min
erva avenue realizes it a little more
fully than all the others. She is en-
ployed in a big bookshop down town,
and, like every other woman, wears a
cunning little silver contrivance at her
belt. The other night she was making
for her suburban train when she be-
came aware of the painful fact that
she had left her chatelain at the store.

H. Ebert has been experimenting for
some time trying to count the number
Of ions in air during different atmOs-
pheric conditions. He employs an as
pirator in which air is drawn between
the armatures of a charged cylindrical
condenser, the potential being such
that the ions are driven to the sides
within the time taken by any portion
of the air stream to pass through the
condenser. The results Of his expert
ments show that the number of ions
is very much larger in sunny weather
than in air filed with moisture or
dust. The number is small in any
case.

CHAPTER XVIII.

In the matter of the armistice
Margery was as good as her word
and little better. She did not go
over to the enemy promptly upon it's
expiration, as she had said she would.
Instead, she gave her father another
and final warning.
''Oh, pshaw! what can you do?"
was his rather contemptuous rejoin-
der when she reminded him that the
peace protocol had expired by linn
itation.
THAT is neither here nor there"
she returned, coolly. "You will find
out what can do if you drive me to
it,"
"Bah!" said the man, Ito do you've
got to know. You don't know any
thing about my business"
''This is your last word, is it?''
"You can call it anything you like.
Go ahead with your pigeon shooting
any time you're ready 80
Margery bit her lip, gave a little
sigh, which might have been of dis
appointment or Of remuneration, and
said no more.
But the following morning, after q
call upon some newly come guests at
the resort hotel, she made it a point
to stumble upon Mr.. Andrew Gal:
braith, who was smoking a peaceful
cigar on the veranda. The purpose
of the stumbling was meant to be
very Obvious; was Obvious, since she
made it the occasion of inviting the
banker Ito join the party in the
launch for an afternoon on the lake.
But after she had given the invita-
ton and had left him, she went back
to say:
=: ":Oh,. by the, way, Mr., Galbraith,
think papa has heard something
more about those pine lands-up at
Red Lake, you know. They are not
worth nearly as much as ID Thought

it, and had seen it shot bullet-wise
up the pneumatic tube to the oper-
ating room, she sighed again. It was
another bridge burned; bridge of
price to young person whose am
billions were chiefly social.
After this she drove home to don
her simplest gown while the man was
putting up the highswung trap and
the big English horse, and making
ready the pony and the phaeton.
She made a long round in the
phaeton, driving herself. 1t began
on the manufacturing side of town,
and ended there, and was a house-to-
house visitation in the quarter occu-
pied by the cottages of the iron
works men. She saw few of the men:
but she did better. She saw and
talked with the wives of the men.
What she said to the women, and
what her saying of it was like to ac-
complish was set forth in brief con-
ference with Edward Raymer at the
iron works ofice-a conference with
which the morning of conferences
ended.
She found Raymer alone in the
office, and was glad enough for that.
II don't know what you will think

| when she had told him what she had
been doing.
"You may say very justly that it

or thought I saw, chance for A.
woman to do what all you men could
mt seem to do. So did my part, and.
now if you'll do yours, I believe the
trouble will stop right where it is"
Raymer evaded the business part of
it, and gave praise where praise was
due, taking her hand and letting his
eyes say more than his words.
II think you are the bravest little
woman I ever heard Of" he said,
warmly. II haven't the least doubt

and made as if she would go, but that
was only because her courage threat
ened to fail her while yet the major
half of her errand was undone. She
fought a brave little fght> and then
went back to sit down beside him.
