Tes,imony for SPRAYING.

At horticultural meetinE an I'LL
nois fruit grower said: had a little
orchard of sixty trees that we're ten
years old. and we never had secured
a pllm from that orchard. Every

we sprayed three times with the Bor.
Geaux mixture and Paris green. and
we produced a good crop OF plums on
the trees that We sprayc'. while on the
trees that we did no: spray the plums
all rotted. j.s. the same as they had
before: in fact. we got so disgusted
with them that we cut out most OF

SAFES FOR THE HOME.
CunningIy uiddcn, Even From the
Eyes of servants.


The clumsy safe which formerly held
the precious stones and documents Of
the wealthy has practically been abol.
ishod in the homes of those who can
afford to keep abreast OF the times IN
such matters. and in its place have
been introduced curiously wrought
places OF concealment which the plo-
fessional burglar would have great
difficulty i'm finding. A little secrecy
has been found to he worth more than
foot OF chilled steel. The old fash
loned home or Office safe is n direct in
vitation to burglar He knows that
the diamonds. iewelry and spare cash
and valuable documents are kept there.
Otherwise. why have safe I'm the
home? There is hardly a man who
does not Mt some time have consldera-
Bile valuables in his home which he
must intrust to his private safe.
The most ingenious method Of mod
ern safe builders is to construct re-
ceptacle for valuables in the walls,
floor or ceilings of the house. The
work is as ingenious as It is effective.

of room selected for the purpose and
finally hits upon n place where conceal
ment can be made the most effective.
A square Of n couple OF feet or more is
taken out OF the plaster, and a chilled
steel safe Is made to fit in the hole thus
made. The inside OF the safe is lined
with plush for holding diamonds and
| mt
ments for bills and valuable docu-
ments. When fitted in its niche i'm the
wall, ceiling or floor. the most ingcn-
ious part of the contrivance is then
made by an expert The opening OF the
safe door is made so carefully that II
appears as II the side of the wall moves
outward as II by magic. The spring
which controls the mechanism is often
concealed in the picture molding or
cornice some distance from the safe
itself.
To make it doubly sure so that no
one would accidentally touch the spring
and reveal the hidden safe, with its
| treasures, there is usually a second
spring. The first one consists chiefly
in removing a small piece Of the mold
Ing or wooden base of the rim, and this
discloses nothing but a bare surface OF
wood. a little examination will show,
however, that this wooden surface is
divided into little square lines. One OF
these squares holds the second hidden
spring. BY pressing it in n certain way
1t will spring open the door Of the safe
located probably half dozen feet
away. Consequently If workmen OF
servants should accidentally knock of
the piece Of molding or wooden base
which reveals the second spring the
secret would still be intact.-Philadel

Weeds Albany Evening journal signed

was no such baron. There was no man
named "Roorbach." But the absolute
falsity Of the writer's statements was
such that ''roorbach" became syno-

the kind against personal character
suddenly issued against a man for his
injury when he could not meet 1t In
