HOW ANIMALS ACT AT FIRES.
Not All of Them Show Fear, Although
the Majority Do Not Like
I EIamea.

Most animals are afraid of fire and
will fly from it in terror. To others
there is fascination about a flame
and they will walk into it even though
tortured by the heat, says the Chicago
Chronicle. Some firemen were talking
the other day about the conduct of ami
mails during a fire. A horse in burn
ing stable, they agreed, was wild with
fear, but dog was as cool in fire as
at any other time. A dog, they said,
keeps his nose down to the floor, where
the air is purest, and sets himself calm
~ to finding his way out. Cats in fires
howl piteously. They hide their faces
from the light and crouch in corners.
When their rescuer lifts them they
are as rule quite docile and subdued,
never biting or scratching. Birds seem
to be hypnotized by fire and keep per-
fectly still; even the loquaciOus parrot
in fire has nothing to say. Cows, like
dogs. do not show alarm. They are
easy to lead forth and often find their
way out of themselves. Rodents seem
never to have any difficulty in escaping
from fires. The men said that in all
their experience they had never come
upon the burned skeleton of rat or a
mouse

CHURCH GETS WINNINGS.
Poker Game Played by philadelphia
Men of Wealth Benefits Re-
ligiOus Cause.

There are five men of wealth and
prominence closely identified with a
certain uptown church who met once
a week to play poker. All are men well
along in years and all have never lost
their love for the great American game
of draw. They realize, says the Phila-
delphia Record, that it would be incom-
patible with their positions as pillars
of the church to gamble, and yet they
play a 25-cent limit game for real
money. There is just this difference:
The winners turn over to the treasurer
all the money that they have won from
the losers and every six months this
fund is expended on some deserving
charity. In that way, while the player
who is really ahead of the game doesn't
really profit, yet he isn't losing any
thing, and the loser has the satisfac-
ton of knowing that his money is GO
ing to a good cause. The element of
chance is not eliminated; each man
plays his best, there are four hours of
excitement and the players do not feel
that they are beating the devil about

GOOD PLANT WINDOW.

suitable for summer as winter. or
may be changed from one window to
another. In coolest weather, plants
should be set in. the living room to
prevent freezing. The uses and adj
vantages of such window garden
are many. 1t is a good place for
foliage plants to develop their beau
tiful forms and colors; seeds may be
prepared for outdoor planting early
in the spring; dying or backward
plants around the house can be kept
together for individual care, and
carpets and the surface of tables
around the house are no longer de-
stroyed or married by flower pots
and spilled water. The warmth of
the ordinary house gives sufficient
heat for moderate weather, and a
small lamp provides necessary
warmth for quite cold spells.-C. B.

DEPTH OF PLANTING.
Does 1T Affect the Bearing Qualities
OF Fruit Trees, as So Many
Growers Believer

The statement has been made by
some fruit growers that fruit trees
which are planted deep deep enough
so that roots may be formed above
the graft are heavier bearers than
trees which depend upon the roots
on which they have been grated.
We fail to grasp the theory of this
method, as has been expressed, says
the Inland Farmer. We have no ex-
perience in this line, and cannot give
any practical results which have
been derived from deep or shallow
planting.
The heavy bearing quality may be
influenced in two different ways by
the above method, first, by the graft
forming roots and thereby nourish-
ing the tree by roots of its own
kind, or, in other words, by roots
which are more in harmony with
the tree itself, it may supply food
ingredients which other roots are
not able to gather, and in this way
the tree becomes stronger and pro-
duces more fruit.
The other theory which we draw
from the argument is: A tree which
is planted deep is more able to with
stand drought, cold and the other
elements, and in this way the pro-
duction is increased. We shall make
number of trial paintings this year,
and give this method a thorough test.
We would like to hear from fruit
growers who have made observations
along this line.

KAISER'S BANDLESS BALL.
Chat Went On without the
Customary Music.

When a noble and brilliant gather
ing had come together in the white
hall of the royal castle for the Sec
Ond rehearsal of the last ball and the
dancing was about to begin silence fell
upon the ladies and their cavaliers,
and CONSERVATION was depicted in the
faces of all, says the London Daily
Telegraph. 1t seems that the princes,
princesses and other representatives
of rank and fashion had taken up the
positions assigned to them for the
minuet, when the kaiser and kaiserin
arrived and entered the neighbOring
apartment. Then the signal was given
for the dance, but it elected no re-
Spouse. On inquiry it was found that
the band of the Guards, which should
have been on the spot, had not ar
rived. Some one ran to the telephone,
called up the band director, and
learned that he had been mistakenly
ordered to come on the following day.
On learning that he was wanted at
once, he dispatched express messen-
gers for his musicians and drove over
himself in a cab, taking with him the
fiddle which he had formerly received
as a present from the emperor. The
dance in the palace now began to the
strains of solitary violin; somewhat
later on the trombone arrived, but
found he could not we'll chime in with
the fiddler, but the fiutist was soon
on the scene, and by the time the
I'll Of
chestra were in their places. The en-
presses gavotte was danced to the
music of a full orchestra.

Preparing Soil for Orchards.

Many an apple orchard proves to
be failure because it is put on land
without the ground being put into
a suitable state of preparation to
bear an orchard. Drainage is one of
the first requisites for successful
orcharding. This is especially true
on heavy clays. 1t is an error to
suppose that hillsides do not need
drainage. We have known gradual
slopes that required drainage to per-
nit the water to drain away from
the roots of the trees in reason
able time after heavy rain. Some
soils are of such texture that the
water will be held saround the roots
of trees for days after heavy rains
Such conditions must not be, allowed
to remain.-Farmers Review
