FLOWER AND TREE.

A single leaf Of the orange tree care
fully planted will often take root and

Rosin and tallow In equal parts
make an excellent covering for wounds
in fruit trees.
"BeltlDg" a tree-that Is, killing 1t by
destroying the bark In circle around
the trunk-injures 1t for lumber.
In transplanting trees all roots that
have become bruised or broken should
be cut clean away behind the broken
part.
A pan of water kept steaming in the
stove will keep the atmosphere in good
condition for the growth Of house
plants during the winter.
Trees should always be trimmed
when young and growing in such a
manner that there will be no necessity
for cutting of large limbs.
Wood mold, provided 1t is fine and
free from roots and sticks, with the
addition of little we'll rotted compost,
makes n splendid soil for the pots or
boxes in which to grow the house
plants in winter.
Orchards generally produce full crops
only every other year. This Is because
the full crop Of one year so exhausts
the fruit producing qualities Of the
soil that 1t is not able to make q full
crop the next year.

Spiders Webs.

The webs of those spiders which spin
snares out of doors, as the geometrical
garden spider, are formed of two sorts
of silk, one of which is used for the
main cables and the radiating threads,
the other for the concentric threads.
The latter are thickly studded with
minute globules of viscous substance.
which retains the fly, gnat or moth
that may blunder against them, while
the former are quite dry and harmless.
A third kind Of silk is produced by the
busy little spinner when some such
large insect as wasp has become en-
tangled in the web and threatens to
break the delicate structure in it's strug-
giles. This takes the form of an envel-
oping mass which is suddenly produc-
ed and which effectually prevents any
further gyrations on the part Of the
captured insect.-Cornhill Magazine.

Lord Morris possessed an almost in
