THE TREE DOCTOR.
Several Cities Add Dendrologist to
Their Official Corps.

From the Brooklyn Eagle
Doctor OF trees Is the latest official addi.
tion to the municipal corps OF large cities
Boston has engaged a tree doctor to feel
the pulses of the elms on Boston Common;
Chicago has a consultant to help Jackson
Park recover from it's attack of worlds
fair: New York added one to It's official
roster when the rapid transit subway was
likely to interfere with the boulevard
trees. and Brooklyn is considering the ad-
visibility OF offering a permanent positioN
to tree doctor competent to look after
the health of the trees in Prospect Park.
Most OF the interest In city trees is di.
rectly due to the growing fashion for coun.
try houses and estates. City men have
learned to recognize good trees when they
see them and to observe them closely
enough to detect promptly any sign OF ap-
preaching decay. Landscape architects,
who used to be scarce. are now plentiful
and able. and they have succeeded in edu-
eating such a considerable proportion OF
the general public that complaint Is soon
made IL the trees OF city shows symptoms
of municipal neglect or Ill treatment. In
deed. since the days of Secretary of Agri-
culture Morton. who established "Arbor
day.. there has been a regular compaign
of education In favor of city trees. The
direct effect Of this work has been the crea-
ton Of the tree Doctor"
The tree doctor" is net necessarily
practical landscape architect. or gardener.
though he very often stands high i'm that
profession. More than one Of the really
successful men in this new occupation ac-
tually knew very little about trees until a
few years ago. Many of them were anna
teurs who became Interested in the SUBJ
Ject and took 1t up as an amusement. At
that time there were few facilities for tho
acquisition OF tree knowledge, hut in re-
cent years 1t has not been hard for intend-
ing doctors OF trees to gather knowledge o1
the best methods Of arboricufture.

Improvement Of Country Life.
From the Chicago Tribune.

from the Chicago Tribune.
In the golden age country life was all
that could be demanded even by the most
exacting critic. and the glorious fellowships
Of shepherds and shepherdesses, the Cory
dons. the Chloes and all that set, knowing
none Of the aspirations Of modern life to-
ward libraries, telephones and free deliy-
cries. were exceedingly happy all the time
1t is not SO now. Country life now has GER
tain awkward and exasperating disadyan-
tages. Isolation and the want of good
means of communication lie at the root of
the difficulty.
Farming is, no doubt, one of the most
normal and healthful Of occupations. At
the same time 1t Is, to a certain degree
narrowing and deadening. If to the pleas
urable and profitable features of the coun-
try there could be added some Of the pleas
urable and profitable features Of the CITY a
great good would have been accomplished
II. besides fresh air. good food and excel
lent health, the farmer could have the Ii
braries, telephones and free deliveries be-
fore mentioned, as well as the concerts, the
lectures. the theaters, the museums and
the constant and easy Intercourse which
are possible In urban communities. the
change In the tone of rural life would
bring with 1t important and far-reaching
consequences.

Honey as a Food.
From Health.


Starch and sugar, when eaten. undergo q
digestive change before they assimilat-
ed. In honey this change has been made
to considerable extent by the bees. Ie
is easy of assimilation. and concentrated,
and furnishes the same element of nutrition
as sugar and starch-imparts warmth and
energy. As a medicine. honey has great
value and many uses 1t is excellent in
most lung and throat affections and is
often used with great benefit In place Of
cod-liver oil. Occasionally there is a per-
son with whom 1t does not agree, but most
results. Children. who have more natural
appetites, generally prefer It to butter.
Honey Is laxative and sedatiye and in dis
eases of the bladder and kidneys it is an
excellent remedy. 1t has much the same
effect as wine or stimulants, without the
injurious effects and is unequaled in mead
and harvest drinks AS an external APP
.plication. 1t is irritating when clear and
soothing when diluted. In many places it
is much appreciated as remedy for Group
and colds. In preserving fruit the formio
acid 1t contains makes a better preserva-
tive than sugar syrup, and It Is also used
in cooking and confectionery.
In early times it is said. Palestine flowed
with milk and honey. but we have far moro
Of both today than the people of any agS
ever had. Honey does not injure the teeth

Shakespeare Wrote the Psalms.

From the SprfngfieId Republican.
A good satire at the expense of the Ba-
conian cipherists has been perpetrated by
an anonymous Englishman, who shows by
methods quite as defensible as those used
in demonstrating that Bacon wrote the
Shakespearian plays that Shakespearelreally
wrote the book Of psalms. For his system
1t is necessary to spell the poets name
either Shakespear or Shakespeare. both OF
which are permissible. In the name '.Shake-

and six consonants. which make the num-
Der forty-six. Turning to psalm 40. the

Mr. Editor: September 1st is at
hand, and We have come to the time
Of harvest in this mountain country.
Irish potatoes, apples and cabbages, in
wagons, carts and drays, or sleds, fill
the streets and the back lots to most
of the stores. The cabbages are pack
ed in crates, the apples in barrels and
the potatoes in bags for shipment.
The apples and potatoes sell at forty
cents per bushel, and the cabbages at
one-half cent per pound. A Columbia
friend has shipped to his home a
goodly supply of potatoes and apples,
paying sixty cents freight per hundred
pounds. I have an idea of doing a
like thing before my return. 1t would
not inconvenience me to fill orders for
a few of my Sumter constituents who
feel disposed to purchase these
articles.

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.

Columbia, September 2.-The week
ending Monday, September lst, was
decidedly cooler than usual, with an
average temperature of about 73 de-
grees, maximum Of SO degrees at
Greenwood on the 26th, and mini
mum of 58 degrees at Bowman on the
9th and at Darlington on the 29th.
The first and last days were partly
cloudy to clear, but the middle of the
week was cloudy, humid and rainy.
There were no destructive winds or
hailstorms.
On the 22d, there was a heavy rain
fall in the middle coast counties, and
a quite general rainfall on the 23d,
while on the 26th,I 9th and 28th,
light, cold, at times drizzling rain COW
cred the entire State, heavy at few
points where lands were washed; but
generally very gentle, so that nearly
all was absorbed, putting the soil into
good condition for fall growth, and
for plowing for oats, which is under
way to slight extent.
Over most of the State the week was
favorable for farm work, although the
rains interfered with cotton picking,
fodder pulling, rice harvest and hay
ING. bat turnips came I'D to good
stands.
Late corn will be greatly benefited
by the now ample supply of moisture,
and looks quite promising. Some
early corn has been gathered.
No improvement is note5 in any but
very late cotton; on the contrary, all
reports continue to note the spread OF
rust, that stops growth On the planSs
attacked, while on sandy lands the
plants have reached maturity and all
growth has stopped. Cotton opened
rapidly previous to the rains, which
checked opening somewhat and inter.
fered with picking, and also stained
some cotton or beat it to the ground.
In places half the crop is open, and
the work Of picking is being urgently
pressed. This is unusually early.
Yields are Disappointing. Late cotton
on all stiff soils is still fruiting, but
! the general prospect for top crop is
poor. Sea-island cotton is putting OF
| small top crop, and blight is less pre-
| valent than for years. Rice harvest

sweet potatoes, cane and fall gardens
improved materially. Late fruit is
scarce except grapes, which are plenti
