Almond Grated on Live Oak.

a story of unusual grating in vege-
table life is vouched for by Attorney
John J. Wells and H. c. Swain, at Red
dlng. Cal. They say that on the farm
CT Julius Jensen. OF Dibble Greek. an
almond has been grated upon a live
oak and a pear onto a mulberry. Mr..
Jensen has been on the place only for
a few years and knows nothing of the
past history of the h.rm. In the yard
stands a magnificent almond of the
hard shell variety, which produces
every year a crop of large almonds.
The tree forks at the ground. A foot
and a half above the ground, where
one Of the branches is twelve inches
in diameter and the other half as
large. each branch suddenly enlarges
and becomes four inches greater in d.
ameter. This spring, to the complete
surprise Of Mr.. Jansen, he discovered
cn oak shoot putting forth just below
the enlargement on one of the
branches. Examination then showed
that up to the point where the enlarge
ment appears the tree is live oak. Who
did this strange grating, or when. is
unknown. But the fact is plain that
on each branch an almond has been
successfully grated on to a live oak
stump.
In the same yard, and distant only
fifty feet, stands a pear tree. About
FIVE feet above the ground the pear
wood commences; below that is null
berry. Clearly this is a case Of pear
being grated upon a mulberry. This
tree produces excellent Bartlett pears.

they climb up hundreds of feet on lad
ders, often only notched trees. They
toll without a recess from 6 a. m. to 4
o. M, and seem to be in need of all the
rest they can get, but before supper
they prefer to take the strain out OF
their muscles by dancing vehemently
to the sound of a fiddle for an hour
or two or even longer if their lady
friends happen to muster in force.

THE BATCHELDERS.
Friends of the Woman Think She
 Will Not be in Court Again.

Reading, Pa, Sept 16.-The case of Harry s. Batchelder and his grid iron bride continues to be the leading topic of discussion. From foot ball player of the Yale college team to the Berks County prison is a far cry. Batchelder's six months sen tence for allowing gambling in his cigar store came as a surprise to the public as we'll as to Batchelder. His father, a well-to-do resident of Wa terbury, Conn, has been in Reading all week working earnestly in his sons behalf, and to him the fate of his son was staggering blow.
 After sentence the football hero greeted his father with an assuring smile that all would come out right, but the old man could not see it that way, and yesterday he left for home greatly cast down. Everybody has liked Batchelder ever since he came to Reading. It would be in the power of the court to mitigate his sentence, and the suggestion was ire quently made yesterday that mon- ster petition in his behalf be pre- sented to the judge, but the move ment has not been started.
 T want to work" said Batchelder yesterday, but there is nothing for him to do in prison. Under the laws of this state only 10 per cent of the inmates of a prison are allowed to work at employment in which they come in competition with free labor, and the probability is that Batchel- der will be given nothing to do ex- cept prison chores.
 A topic of local speculation is: "WilI Mrs BatcheIderS go to jail?' She has pleaded guilty to embedding 2,500 by means of a duplicate bank book and is out on bail, and how she can be saved from further disgrace is what is puzzling her friends, many of whom swear by the young woman. She has left the stone-front house in which she and Batchelder and her mother, resided and is living at a ho- tel. She is seen in the streets as if nothing had happened and her self assurance is wonderful.
 One of the leading members of the bar said yesterday that he saw no reason why Mrs Batchelder should be sent to jail. He explains it as follows: .tThe date of her sentence has been postponed until Saturday, September 24. She is then to be called to the bar to answer for the crime to which she has pleaded gull ty. Whether she will be called, de- pends on the district attorney. Sup pose he should not call her to the bar for sentence? Nobody else in an of fcial position has the power to call her to the bar of justice. Should she not be called you can take it for granted that the cases has been ad- justed satisfactorily to the com monwealth. I, for one, don't believe that she will be called on the date named"
 Confidential friends of Mrs Batch elder have expressed the same belief. By orders of her counsel she is not talking for publication. Yesterday she visited her husband in prison, and they chatted together for an hour. Batchelder is allowed no fa- vors in jail and Is treated the same as other inmates.
