n AND GARDEN.

The average life Of raspberry planta.
tons is about six years.
With grapes the rule should be to dig
deep and plant shallow.
For roofing the best cutting Of u
plant is a shoot Of new growth just be-
fore it grows woody or at all f1brous.
Trees about the house make it more
attractive and homelike, besides shield
ing it from the cold winds Of winter
and the hot suns of summer.
Cut the young trees back when plac-
ing them in the ground and also trim
off some Of the roots, especially those
that are bruised or broken in any way.
Fruit trees cannot thrive on all kinds
Of exhausted soil. The trees will make
a growth Of leaves and wood on poor
land, but they require mineral manure
to perfect the fruit.
In most cases when planting shade
trees the hardness Of the trees should
be given preference over rapid growth.
1t is Of no advantage to secure a shade
tree early only to have it die when
most useful.

but the same old story will have to be
recorded here-failure. By this time my
money was nearly all gone. What to do
next was the all absorbing question.
One day a friend convinced me that
big money could be made out Of chick
ems. I invested every cent I had left,
$780,. in hens. At the end Of six
months I sold out my hennery for $500.
Then I got a government job, and here
I've been ever since. Shortly after my
arrival In this town / purchased a lit
tie land in the northwest section. That
investment has yielded me a very
handsome return, and I am nov thor
oughly satisfied that the only thing for
q man on a salary to do is to either put
a little each month in some good saw.
ings bank or invest his surplus in land
or bricks and mortar. Remember one
thing - this is an age Of specialists.
Stick to n thing, make a suceess OF
it, and maybe one of these days some
big company will offer you a princely
salary for your knowledge. A rolling
stone gathers no mos or money

Always Ask for Diamond Dyes
TAKE NO OTHER.
CHINESE WASTE PAPER.

Every Scrap With q Printed Charac-
ter Upon 1t IL Sacred.
You will never find upon the street
or in the rubbish heap a scrap of pa
per with Chinese characters written
or printed upon it.: An intelligent
Chinaman, questioned as to the rea-
son, explained the matter in this way:
+"Melican man never tears up and
flows in stleet his Bible or hymnbook.
Chinee lifting all same to Chinaman as
Mclean mans Bible" Soy
Then he still further elucidated the
mystery by leading the way to the cell
lar of a Race street house, in which,
piled up before a gigantic furnace,
were bundles Of paper and sacks of let
tiers and newspapers printed in Chi
nese hieroglyphics. :.
Interpreted into plain English the old
Chinaman's story was that the orien-
tails regarded the written characters
as so sacred that this furnace was es-
pecially set apart, after being blessed
by the priests, for the in~cineration of
all Chinese letters and documents.
So sacred indeed was the Chinese
writing regarded by the ~orientals that
the most compromising letters of the
highbinders and the private CORE
spondence of families were left with
confidence in the care Of the furnace
attendant, it being perfectly well
known that he would not risk his i'm
mortal soul by committing the deadly
sin of prying into correspondence com
mitted to his care to be given to the
flames.
Nor does the oriental regard the Chi.
nese writing as safe from the hands of
the infdel even when every scrap of il
has been reduced to ashes. After the
paper has been burned the ashes are
carefully collected, and when enough
has accumulated to make a load they
are shipped on board a boat belonging
to the Chinese Merchants company
by which society all such matters are
managed, and taken to sea, where they
are scattered over the surface of the
ocean.
To the Chinaman it is horrifying tc
see the white mans newspapers used
for wrapping purposes, his letters
H-
scattered around the streets to be
walked on and his old books funa
around when read as though of nc
more ~sacredness than old boots. a
letter, an envelope, the printed slips
extolling the virtues of preserved gin
ger or the characters that advertise
q laundry for sale become, after thei,
usefulness has passed, as sacred al
the gilded ornaments that add to thu
glory of the joss.
One. man is employed in Chinatown
to collect the waste paper. he calls al
the stores and the rooms and gathers
it up with the utmost care, tying 1t il
sacks so that not a shred shall escape
With his sacred burden he goes to ths
furnace and hands the sacks Il
the important parsonage in charge
there, who slows 1t away ready for the
next burning day. Twice a week thu
furnace is lighted and the sacks Of pa
per solemnly committed to the flames
with many Observation-Disclosures
Il Record.
