FRUITS AND FLOWERS.

In planting the orchard care should
be taken to allow each tree plenty Of
room. r. rt'S
"A layer of charcoal in the bottom of a
flower bed is very beneficial in keep
ing the soil fresh. "
In blowing in the orchard always
turn the furrow toward the tree, and
be careful not to injure the fine. fbrous
roots. H.
The life Of an apple tree is often
shortened because it grows in a poor,
exhausted soil or one not properly
drained. Ha< r. e.
When i'll or ailing, handle the flowers
little or wear gloves. Delicate plants
are sensitive to human magnetism,
good or bad.
The roots of the strawberry often
reach out five feet from the main
stem; hence the plants should not be
set too thickly. 8. " 5 +
An apple or cherry tree, is much
more valuable If it shoots out low.
Trim from the top, as this will cause
the lower branches to grow out.
Land that has been too rough for
plowing may yet be sufficiently fertile
to grow fruit trees and is better than

The Wrath of the Bee.

At the end of winter most hives have
exhausted their stores and become
dangerous. When this is the case. woe
to him who touches the hives. Smoke
has lost its spell, and you shall scarce
have emitted the first puffs before
10000 acrid and enraged demons will
dart from within the walls. overwhelm
your hands, blind your eyes and black
en- your face. No living being except.
they say, the bear and the sphinx afro
pos. can resist the rage of the mailed
legions. Above all. do not struggle.
The fury would overtake the neighbor-
ing colonies. There is no means Of
safety other than instant fight through
the bushes. The bee Is less rancorous,
less implacable, than the wasp and
rarely pursues her enemy. If flight be
impossible. absolute immobility alone
might calm her or put her off the scent
She fears and attacks any too sudden
movement, but at once forgives that
which no longer stirs.-Harper's.

THE SAUERKRAUT PEDpLER.
Character Common to the German
& Section of New York.

A Character Common to the German
Section Of New York.
The regular and popular visitor to
the German inns and taverns of the
east side is the sauerkraut man. He
brings his calling with him from the
old country and finds more profitable
field in New York than in Berlin Or
Hamburg. His equipment is quite cu-
rious. He wears a blue or white apron
running from his neck nearly to the
ankles, and from his; shoulders is sus-
pended a circular metal box which
goes half around his waist. 1t has
three large compartments. two of
which are surrounded by hot water.
In one are well cooked frankfurter
sausages and in the other thoroughly
boiled sauerkraut In the third com;
partment is potato salad. He carries ia
his hand a basket in which are small
plates and steel forks: One sausage
and generous spoonful Of sauerkraut
and potato salad cost cents. All three
articles are of good quality, we'll
cooked and seasoned. He finds his best
customers in the bowling alleys, where
the exertion demandal by the game
produces large appetites. Next to these
are the tayerns which do not supply
food with their drink. Last Of all are
the halls and meeting rooms where
different societies assemble. His night.
" stock consists of fifty sausages, sew
en- pounds of sauerkraut and as much
more Of salad. On bad evenings he
takes only half as much stock as on
fair ones. Some Of the more fortunate
peddlers have arrangements with clubs
which pay them a very fair profit upon
their goods. Others are free lances
who visitsevery place where they think
they can effect a sale.
The metal boxes are very ingenious
and are made in Germany. The metal
is some variety Of pewter. and the
fitting of the compartments and OF the
entire affair to the body is very ac-
curate. The covers are so we'll hinged
and snug at the edges that when the
owner falls down he is not liable to
spill any Of the contents. The con.
trivance costs some So in Germany,

Too Gorgeous Rocks.

The author Of Elizabeth and Her
German Garden" writing on the Civ
ing Of Books, in the Century, says:
Gifts Of books addressed solely to
the spirit. should never be editions de
luxe. OF what use is a book to me,
however much may want to read it,
il it is SO gorgeous that it must not be
taken anywhere where rain might fall
on it, or where it might get muddy, or
where a needless gnat, caught by the
quick turning of a leaf. might leave its
legs in the pages, angering the owner
of the defiled book, who does not want
its legs, almost as much as 1t is itself
angered by having ito go on being a
gnat without them? I can no more
take an oYergorgeous book to my.
heart than | can fold my child in my
arms when 1T is dressed for party.

The Tired Foot.

A lady was watching a potter at his
work whose one foot was kept with a
"never slackening speed turning his
swift wheel round" while the other
rested patiently on the ground. When
the lady said to him in sympathizing
tone. How tired your foot must bev'
the man raised his eyes and said: ''No
ma'am; it isn't the foot that works
that's tired. It's the foot that stands.
That's it."
If you want to keep your strength,
use it. If you want to get tired, do
nothing. AS matter of fact, we all
know that the last man to give a help
ing hand to any new undertaking is
the man who has plenty of time on his
hands. 1t is the man and woman who
are doing the most who are always
willing to do little more."-Philadel-

THE PERPETUAL LIGHT.


Remarkable Lamp In Louisiana
That Never Goes Out.
.'The most remarkable lamp in this
section Of the country" said a man
who cruises a great deal along the
coast to the New Orleans Times DEM
ocrat, lis to be found in the water area
between Lake Borgne and Mississippi
sound in lonely. desolate, isolated
spot, where the fall of human feet and
the dip Of oars are heard only four
times year.
''The light is some distance this side
of Bay st. Louis and is a little south
of Chinchuba. 1t stands away out in
the marsh. but can be seen from the
Louisville and Nashville railroad. 1t
burns all the time. day and night,
year in and year out. 1t fickers away
for the benefit of the mariners who
frequen' these waters. 1t is the Per-
petual Int. The sun. the moon and
stars may come and 90, but the light
which shines out In the dismal marsh
is always the same. 1t is the one
bright thing in a rather dismal stretch
Of country. Seaweeds grow wild and
rank in that region. The land, such
as one may see from railroad train,
is fat and treeless waste. 1t is with
out any cheerful aspect, low, gloomy.
overhung by miasmatic mist and per
feet prairie of wild and matted weeds
of the kind which flourish In marshy
regions. 1t is threaded by sluggish
arms OF water.
"Once every three months this lamp
is visited by a human being. 1t is
filled with oil, trimmed up and put in
condition to burn for three months
longer Thus it is visited four times q
year. It is situated SO that the winds
cannot put It out. 1t renders good
service, never explodes, never goes out,
never gets DINNER or brighter, but
burns with the same steady power all
the time, It has earned the name of
the Perpetual light"

A POUNDS a POUND.

But a Pound of Feathers is Heavier
Than a Pound OF Lead.
That old question about a pound Of
feathers and a pound Of lead takes Oh
new interest when we look at it in a
simple. scientific way. 1t seems alb
surd, of course, that a pound OF one
thing could be heavier than pound OF
another thing, and yet that is exactly
What may be shown in this case; not
that the pound of lead is heavier than
the pound Of feathers, as most persons
would say on the spur Of the moment,
but just the other way-a pound Of
feathers is heavier than pound of
lead. sst !ss,
N This apparently inconsistent state
ment may be quite easi " proved. With
accurate scales weigh Al pound Of lead,
using ordinary shot for convenience;
then with the same scales. weigh ID
pound Of feathers, putting them into a.
muslin bag for the purpose. The featl-
sers and the bag together must weigh
exactly pound. &s3ssB
4s q The next step In the operation will
show apparently that there IS no diff.
ference whatever III the weight Of the
two articles. for you put the shot In
one pan Of "a balance and the bug ,f
feathers In the other, and after a little
seesa wing they will come to- an exact
level. lg4
3SE Now, however. the scientific phase oi
the question presents itself. and you
are reminded zen that in weighing the an
ticles thus ia the open air you have
taken no account of the buoyant pow
er OF the air, which bears everything
np fig proportion to the objects bulk.

ORIGIN OF THE KISS.

The Greek Story of the Way In
q Which # Came Into Being.
kissing is usually accepted as an
agreeable fact, and it's theory and his
tory are ignored, but If kissing did not
begin with Adam and Eve it began
with the beautiful young Greek shep-
herdess who found an opal on one Of
the hills Of Greece and, wishing to
give it to a youthful shepherd whose
hands were busy with his focks let
him take it from her lips with his own,
says Science Sifings. Thus the kiss
was invented, and perhaps the popular,
superstition against the opal may be
traced back to the same incident, for

Worry is but one of the many forms

Q condition that 7avors worry There
Is thus established vicious circle
which tends to perpetuate itself, each

1t is necessary to secure a cheerful
wholesome atmosphere for the dys-
peptic. He should eat his meals at a
table where there is good fellowship
and where funny stories are told. He
should himself make great effort to
contribute his share of this at the table,
even If it be necessary, as it was in one
case under my care, for him to solemn
" and seriously collect funny para
graphs from the press, and at first in
terject them spasmodically during lulls
in the conversation at the table. The
very efforts and determination Of the
man to correct his own silent habits at
table, to correct his feelings of dis
couragement and worry, were in them
selves a promise Of success. The eff
fort made was adequate to the obsta-
cles to be overcome. He succeeded, and
the spectacle Of that man trying to
be funny at table when he felt thor
oughly discouraged and blue is one we
shall never forget.
Laughing is In itself also q useful
exercise from the standpoint Of diges-
ton. It stirs up all the abdominal
organs. 1t increases the circulation of
the blood, it increases peristalsis, it in
creases the secretion Of gastric juices.
