slT oF A FAMOUS AppLE rReE.
1t Was the First Planted in Western New
York and y Woman Raised IL.

Mrs. Sophronia Phelps of KuckvIile.
Orleans County, N. Y. celebrated her
ninety-third birthday the other day.
The event was marked by an old-fash-
ioned reception.
Mistress Phelps" as her old friends
and relatives call her to this day, as
that was the way she was addressed
three-quarters of century ago, sat
in a curiously carved chair which is
more than 1876 years old. and an heir
loom. But the relic which interested
the guests most was a cane belonging
to Colonel Miles, of Kuckville, made
from the wood of the first apple tree
planted in Western New York. The
cane is handsomely carved and beau
tifuly polished. 1t was related at the
birthday party by Mistress Phelps that
this first apple tree was planted by a
Mrs. Dunham who sOwed the apple
seed herself and cared for the tender
shoot until It was set out near the
Dunham homestead in the eastern part
of what's now Erie County.
Mrs. Dunham came when a girl from
New York City. The family stopped
at Albany and slowly worked their
way along the Mohawk. westward
through the wilderness. They stayed
for a while at or near the salt springs
Of Syracuse, and there, according to
tradition, somebody gave them hand
full Of apple seeds. From one Of these
seeds came the first apple tree planted
in Western New York, the advance
guard of the innumerable orchards

In Close Quarters.

Many aud varied were the expe-
riences which befell the heroes of In
dian warfare Jack Stilwell and
Pete" Trundeau, two border scouts,
had a peculiar adventure one day in
Northern Kansas when on the way to
summon help to the little fort on the
Arikaree River. which was besieged
by the Indians.
The two scouts had made their way
under cover Of the darkness until they
thought they were safe from pursuit.
Then they plunged boldly forward
They Were crossing a level plain
when they deserted several Indians on
horseback. Hoping that they had not
been seen by the savages the white
men dropped 10 the ground, and seeing
the skeleton Of a buffalo not far dis
tant they quickly got behind it ana con-
cealed themselves in some weeds which
grew rank and high about it. Poor
though II was it was the only shelter
in the vast plain.
They had not been long hidden when
they heard the galloping Of horses
hoofs, and the Indians came to halt
not a hundred yards from where they
lay. They gave themselves up for lost
for a moment, but soon ascertained
that the Indians halted merely for
breakfast.
At that very instant, however, they
were menaced by an unexpected dan
ger. They were pressing close against
the buffalo skeleton, afraid to move for
fear OF disclosing themselves to the In
dians, when they heard peculiar whir
and to their horror saw a huge rattle
snake coiled within two feet OF their
faces.
1t was a trying moment Death
! threatened them on either hand. Both
men remained motionless however
and at length the angry rattler quleted
down and its tail ceased its rapid vi
brations, although 1t still remained in
coil. The slightest movement on the
| part Of the scouts sufiiced to set the
rattles in motion again.
For what seemed a long time the sit
uation remained unchanged. Then
Jack who was solacing himself with a
large chew Of tobacco. suddenly spat
squarely on the snakes head.

Many communications have recently
)een received by Mr.. Herman j. Ba-
ienhoOp, Secretary Of the state of
Maryland Bureau OF immigration, in
Iulring for full particulars concerning
he marsh lands OF this State, says the
Baltimore Sun.
Mr.. Badenhoop said yesterday that
IN each case the writer's stated that,
could they secure tracts of these
marshes at a reasonable figure. they
would come here with the intention of
chanting our branch willows. Mr. Ba-
1enhoop is jubilant at the prospects Of
this being accomplished, and thinks
that a most perplexing problem can
thus be solved.
'In Germany" he continued, this
industry has grown to be one Of the
best paying features of forestry. Inn
meuse tracts of marsh lands are set in
groves Of the branch willow. Each
succeeding year shoots or suckers are
separated from the old trees and
planted out, and so on, year after year,
so thai the growth is ever on the in
crease.
''The willows that are felled and
trimmed each winter are shipped to the
willowware and wOOdworkers. where
they are converted into baskets and
furniture. should the new venture
become a surety in Maryland, it would
put into use a tremendous area of land
that has hitherto been practically use
less, bringing in no revenue, and a con,
stant drain upon the taxpayer.
Heretofore the only use to which
the marshes were put was as a roam
ing place for cattle, where they could
pick precarious living from the va
rled assortment Of grass to be found
upon them, yet none with the nutri-
ment or sweetness to be found on the
highlands.

This is especially shown in the case

The smoke and dust, of course, have

Is want Of proper sleep
"Of the causes which keep such trees

is the matter Of noise in all its forms

Plants and flowers Of all kinds sleep
best away from the glare. So the
