ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

1t is safer to prune too little than toe
much.
Moist earth and a cloudy day fol
transplanting.
Gooseberries and currants are two
easily grown fruits. and there is sci.
dom an oversupply.
The quality and size Of fruit on old
bushes is much improved by thinning
Of the fruit or severe pruning.
The cause of moss appearing on the
stems of apple and other fruit trees is
wet, cold, undra;ned land or an e1ces-
siyely humid climate.
In saving garden seed gather when
ripe. Do not allow it to shell off, The
first matured is the best, and the first
matured will shell first.
a good mulch around fruit trees
helps to keep down weeds, keeps the
soil loose, moist and porous at all times,
with little labor of cultivation.
The time of setting out of fruit trees
is of far less Importance than to see
that the right varieties are selected,
the soil prepared and transplantins
well done.

were big and little, ornamental and
plain, practical and impractical ones.
Some had broad trays. and Others had
none ut all, and some had devices for
lifting the candle, while others were
made with deep necks. There still re-
main people who cling to the traditions
of their ancestors and will have none
of the modern lighting inventions for
their sleeping rooms. Certain women
prefer a light in their bedrooms until
they are asleep, and for this purpose a
candle is just the thing. for it will put
itself out at the time proportioned by
its length.-Sew York Tribune.

IGNORANT OF GEOGRAPHY.
How German Put Posexs to an
American Girl.


American Girl.
"A thing about Americans which has
surprised me more than anything else,
said German artist who has been Wis,
iting in New York city for six months
past, ''is that with ali your patriotism
you know so little about the geography
Of your own country, to say nothing OF
the rest of the world.
There We're several Americans in the

knew that they were weak in geogra-
ply and that here was challenge

the foreigner said quietly. 'sThe names

And she nodded confidently at the
young American man who was already
beginning to fear for her.
What is the capital Of Massachu-
sets was his first question.
Boston, was the prompt answer
from the girl.
.sAnd of North Carolina ?"
That seemed to puzzle her little,
and it was full minute before she an

effort to correct her. What is the

Ministers Maids.

"Are you q minister's wife,? was i
query encountered so frequently by a
young matron in search of a maid that
she scented Il story.
"Why this mania to live under the
droppings of the sanctuary?' inquired
the matron or words to that effect.
Then it appeared that the minister's
family is considered most desirable
place because Of the opportunities for
witness fees in wedding cases. There
are few bridegrooms who come with
out witness to be married who will
not bestow a generous tip upon the
girl who furnishes this small but nee
essary feature OF the ceTemony.-New

The American republic must live.
Popular commotion and partisan fury
may dash their mad waves against it,
but they shall roll back shattered,
spent. Persecution shall not shake it.,
fanaticism distort it nor revolution

head-majestic, immutable, magnifi-

Home Life In England and America

Home Life In England and America.
The decay Of the home life is to be
attributed partially to the influence on
society of the invasion Of Americans.
In the United States home life is al
most unknown. The meaning Of the
word home" as understood to Brit
ishers. is mystery to Yankees. To a
certain extent we have always envied
you your home life, and certainly
agree with some Of your correspond
ents that it would be disastrous for
your country to lose the elevating and
refining influences Of the home.-An-

THE NEW york WORLD
Thrice Week Edition.

Time has demonstrated that the
Thrice-a-Wee World stands alone in it's
class. Other papers have initiated its
form but not its success. This is
because it tells all the news all the time
and tells it impartially. whether that
news be political or otherwise. 1t is in
fact almost daily at the price of
weekly and you cannot afford to be
without it, Republican and Democrat
alike can read the Thrice-a- Week World
with absolute confidence in its truth.
In addition to news, 1t publishes first
class serial stories and other features
suited to the home and fireside.
The Thrice-a- Week Worlds regular
subscription price is only ST. 90 per year
aud this pays for 1856 papers. We offer
this unequalled newspaper and the
UNION TIMEsto2ether one year for 81 rs.
The regular subscription price of the
two papers is 81 90, you thus get four
papers week for only 1.75. This is
almost equal to daily, which would
cost you $500 year.

CHAPTER III.


The boat moved of up the river
towards Jefferson with Mr.. Hughes
snd his family on board, all we'll

were safely and snugly ensconsed in
q cosy cabin and jeff began to look
around for something to amuse him
self. He found in one of the rooms
Of tho boat party of youngsters
having q good time fiddling and
dancing. He stepped to the door
Of the cabin and placed his hands on
both sides, stood and looked on wish
fally while - set" was on hand. As
It closed he spoke and said something
but no one appeared to pay any at
tentiou to him. He began to think
TO himself) "now maybe I am out of

lind out the ropes" ss he called it.
So making the best of it be kept his
position till they went through With
another ''set." And by this time he
thought he must venture another
word let the consequences be what
they may. So he blusted out some
thing else in his own style and lingo
when he saw one young lady setting
over in the corner of the room look
ing sideways out of both eyes at him
and with thst approving smile from
her he took fresh courage.
After the party had taken . short
breathing spell JEFF proposed another
set to which some of tho party of
boys or men gave their assent and all
at once jeff made lunge across the
room toward the girl whom he took
to be his friend and by the time he
reached her she seized his arm and
out they went followed by the others,
and before they took their seats they
danced two sets. (And jeff says she
was . dancer too and don't you for
get it.) By this time jeff began to
feel perfectly at home. Every now
and them the big, rough, blustry cap
tain would pass the cabin door and
stop and look in. But this made no
diferene with JEFF. He began telling
some Of his big tales he had prepared
for the occasion and soon he was the
central figure of the crowd and every
body had something to say to Mr..
Hughes.
After his round in the dancing
department he thought he had better
look out and see how ISIS" (his wife)
and children were getting on. They
were al right and he returned to his
dancing crowd.
By this time he had got familiar
with them and they with him and 90
they took another round of the may
