CITIES HAKU TO KILL.

What Rome, Paris, COnstantinOple
and London Have Suffered.
1t Is difficult thing to kill a city,
and there are some we'll known places
that have SO much vitality that they
will survive any number of disasters.
Take Rome as first example. No
fewer than ten times has she been
swept by pestilence. She has been
burned twice and starved out on six
besieged or bombarded. But she still
lourishes. Perhaps that is why she is
called the Eternal City.
Paris has had eight sieges, ten fam
ines, two plaques and one fire which
devastated it. We make no reference
to the number of revolutions, as they
are too numerous to mention. But Par
is still hourishes.
Constantinople has been burned out
nine times and has suffered from four
plaques and five sieges. There are
some people who think that many of
the sultans have been as bad for the
city as any pestilence. And yet she
goes on.
Lastly there is the English metropo-
lis. London began as kind of mound
In swamp. In her early history she
was sacked, burned and all her inhab-
itants butchered. She has been deci-
mated by plague five times, exc lusive
OF typhus. cholera and such maladies
She has been more or less burned sew
en- times. She is thriving in spite of all

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Give the roots of trees q deep and
broad bed of soil to start and grow in.
In pruning the grape cut back to the
third bud, as it is usually the first en-
tirely perfect bud produced.
When winds prevail from any direc-
ton, as they usually do, lean the tree
little in that direction when setting out.
The essentials in making good gar
den are rich soil, plenty of manure,
good seeds, timely labor and a fair sea-
son.
Having the soil in a good tilth and
planting in straight rows will save
much labor in cultivating in the gar
den.
One of the best ways of getting rid of
moss and lichens adhering to the bark
of trees is an application of lime white
wash.
In taking trees from a nursery or for
est, preserve all of the roots and fine
rootlets possible. Dig out instead Of
pulling up the tree.
When the fruit or leaves of any plant
or tree are eaten by insects of any kind,
spraying in good season and sufficient
ly often is the safest and best remedy.
Gladiolus bulbs should be planted in
full sunshine. four or five inches deep
and about one foot apart. Good soil,
rather sandy, is best, avoiding manure,
especially if fresh.

JUST ESCAPED HANGING.
DR.. Mudd, Who Mended John wilkes
Booths Broken Leg.

DR.. Mudd, Who Mended John wilkes
Booths Broken Leg.
Mudd was physician, and 1t was to
his house that Booth had ridden on the
night Of his great crime. There his
broken leg had been set, and there he
had been secreted for one day. The
doctor was an educated man of refined
and dignified manner. He had never
quite recovered from his surprise that
any one should find fault with him for
setting broken bone for stranger,
He always asserted that he did not
know Booth and was not aware at the
time that Booth had committed a
crime. But Mudd had been an ardent
secessionist. He was accordingly sen
fenced to Imprisonment for life.
1t was hard fate to be called upon
for professional services by wounded
desperado and then narrowly to escape
hanging for it. The trial and sentence
were terrible blow, from which Mudd
never recovered. He had left devoted
wife at his home in Maryland, and his
mental sufferings were so severe that
he seemed always on the verge of in
sanity. He had at first been put to
work with wheelbarrow; but, having
never done any manual labor, he was
rapidly failing under the combined
physical and mental strain. For this
reason directed that he be transferred
to the prisoners hospital as nurse.
There he made himself exceedingly
useful, and there he might have re-
mained had not his homesickness in an
evil hour overcome his judgment. While
ship lay at the wharf he contrived to
get aboard and secrete himself in the
coal bunkers. He was of course dis.
covered, and then he learned what he
did not know before, that no ship was
allowed to sail until it was ascertained
that every prisoner was in his place.
He was Immediately placed in solitary
confinement, where he remained sever
al months.-McClure's Magazine.

Hoist with His own Petard.

A Philadelphia clergyman told q sto-
ry of a young man who took his best
girl to church and when the time for
collection came round rather osten-
tatiously displayed five dollar gold
piece. Fresuming upon the engage
ment to marry that had been made by
her. the young woman placed a re-
straining hand upon the arm of her
fiance. why, don't be SO extravagant
Georgew she exclaimed.
''Oh, that's nothing" he replied. Il
always give SIS when l go to strange
church.
Just then the deacon came with the
plate, and George dropped coin. Ev-
erything seemed favorable, and the
young man beamed with a sense of
generosity. Then the minister made
the announcements for the week and
concluded with the wholly unexpected
announcement of the days collection.
'The collection today" said he, twas
$3.75.''
George hadn't much to say all the
way to his 1aucsA's home.

To the Point.

An incident which occurred while
Admiral Dewey was commanding the
Asiatic squadron and one which Illus
trates his independence is one known
as "the coal Incident"
1t seems that his squadron was in
need of coal, but instead of writing to
the chief of the bureau of equipment
at the navy department he purchased
large amount of coal without consult
ing the department.
The following is the correspondence
between the admiral and Captain Brad
ford. the chief of the bureau of equip
ment, and is self explanatory:

PELLETS OF SNOW.

How They Fling and Drift I'm the
Adirondack Region.
On a good driftmaking day in the
Adirondacks the snow comes not in
the star shaped fakes that look SO
pretty when portrayed on page of the
dictionary, but in small pellets. These
pellets are in shape like tiny white
footballs usually, and they come roll
ing and tumbling down wind as If they
had been ''kicked for fair" by the half
back gods of the gale. And yet while
they roll and tumble and bound they
lind lodging places, and as the idler
gazes he sees them pile up in wall on
the crest Of the road cut. Higher and
higher grows the pile, forming at first
d vertical wall, but before this has
visen three inches it is seen to overhang
the gulch.
Though round and easily rolled. these
pellets in some way fit to each other as
bricks would, until the overhang is per-
haps fifth as great as the elevation of
the wall, and then, marvellous and i'm
possible as it would seem to the unac-
customed observer, lip forms on the
crest of the wall, and soon it begins to
droop and hang down. Wider and Ion
ger it grows, farther and farther it
droops. until it's shape is precisely like
the lip formed on a huge wave when
it breaks on a shoal water beach. Lips
that are ten feet wide and hang down
three feet clear of all, though but six
Oh eight inches thick where they join
the chin of the wall, are not uncom-
mon. BY what magic is it that these
frozen, oblong pellets that go bounding
along as merrily as footballs form into
such shape as that? Of course if the
storm continues time usually comes
when the lips break off because Of their
great weight. And then no new lip
forms to replace the lost one. The snow
merely drops over into the lee of the
wall and gradually fills the cutting
