Protectinp Emit Trees.

I consider good thick soft soap the
superior Of all things-eyen to the rab-
bit proof fence-inasmuch as it not only
keeps the rabbits away, but it stimu-
lates the bark to new growth and kills
all insects and their eggs that may be
found when washed good with soap.
/ know OF trees in this neighborhood
that had old bark on them and never
thought Of fruiting, which were
washed every two weeks from fall to
spring, that had a good crop of fruit
the following summer and for four
summers since. And the bark of these
old trees is as new looking to-day as
when set out forty years ago. These
are all apple except one, which was a
pear tree. This tree bloomed itself to
death last spring In using the soap.
take a soft soap made OF good wood
ashes 1t should be thick, sticky and
strong to be the best.
Always wash the trees on bright,
sunny day-never when there is pros
pect Of rain 1t should be done long
enough before q rain or snow so that II
will get thoroughly dry, or there is
danger of its washing before the win
ter is over. Always scratch away
about three INCHES of the soil around
the base Of the tree and wash down as
far as possible in order that the eggs
of insects which are close to the ground
may be washed-rubbed hard so as to
force the wash in the rough places OF
the bark where the insects are found.
When well washed replace the soil and
wash upward as far as desired. This
is easily applied, and viii be found
much more effective than many OF thc
washes used. -Ylck's Mig zipe.

'That is just the trouble" said the

Approximate Gifts For Invalids.

Flowers and thrifty growing plants
are acceptable offerings to the SICK
and a rosebud or a bunch of yiolets
never comes amiss. When GONZALES
cence is established a new book or a
magazine, and perhaps little mechan-
ical contrivance on which it may rest,
viii give real qualification. A pretty
wrap which the invalid may wear, a
pair of bedside slippers, or any other
small and dainty thing which conveys
thought of individual ed will al
ways be rewarded with SIN AFRO
matte extracts, perfumery in beautiful
bottles, any little luxury in the way of
fruit or delicacy prepared in another
kitchen, leaves gladness in its wake.
The element of surprise breaks the to-
dious monotony Of invalid life and is
therefore to be sought for and regard
ed as restorative in its in1uence.-La-

TIE old-style plain-letter monogram
Is being superseded, and the woman
who would be thought artistic and up
to date in dainty trihes is using the
new monogram somewhat after the
Japanese style. The more subtle the
design the better it is liked. The idea
is TO have something graceful in out
line, well balanced in parts, and alto
gether artistic, a monogram perfectly
clear when once deciphered, but which
to the casual observer seems to be
merely a pleasing, fanciful sketch or a
symbol rather than a combination of
letters. -Woman's Home Companion.
