What German Critics Say.

German military critics point out
that tactics of mere passive resistance
will be disastrous to General Kuropat-
kin at Lao Yang, as the high angle
of the Japanese batteries is certain
ultimately to shatter the Russian de-
lenses. General Kuropatkin should,
according to the experts, be able to
strike a powerful blow at some por-
ton OF the Japanese line, while, if the
strong Russian cavalry cannot prevent
the outf1anking of the Russian forces
1T must indeed be regarded as value
less"

associates declining the conference.
The reason given was that no good

BIG BATTLE RAGING
HALF MILLION MEN ENGAGED
AROUND LAO YANG.
Expected That Engagement VIII be
Decisive One and That 1t viii Last
for Several Days.

The heaviest battle of the war II
raging around Lao Yang. Following
the rear-guard which Kuropatkin has
fought In his retirement from Anpine
and Anshanshan, he has either elected
or been forced to give battle and Is
meeting the attack of the combined
armies of Kuroki, Nodau and Oku.
Dispatches from the battlefield show
that at dawn Tuesday the Japanese
opened terrific artillery fire, directed
mainly against the Russian center and
right. This rain of shells was con-
tinued throughout the day until 9
o'clock in the evening.
A dispatch from Lao Yang at 6:49
Tuesday evening showed that the
battle was increasing in intensity, the
Japanese pressing forward until at one
point their advance developed into
fight, the Russians repell.
Ing them with the bayonet.
So far reports do not indicate the
trend of the action, but it is freely pre-
dicted that the engagement will be a
decisive one, and that 1t will last for
several days. The combined forces en-
gagged are estimated at between 400,
200 and 100000 of all arms.

CHANGES HIS SKIN YEARLY.
Strange Disease Of New Yorker Who
Annually Dons . New
Cuticle.

Most people have to wear the same
old skin through life, but Galen, N. Y,
has a man in the person Of William
Groescup, who has donned new one
every year for Is years, and he is
changing it again, although the one he
now has is only few months old.
Usually this strange disease makes
it's appearance in the early fall. Every
part of the body becomes covered with
scales, which slough OFF, requiring in
the process from eight to IL weeks.
Mr.. Groescup had the usual attack last
fall, which lasted well into the winter
and then recovered, not expecting an
other attack until next fall, but con-
trary to all former experience in this
case. the disease has manifested itself
again at this time and Mr.. Groescup
is again undergoing the painful and
disagreeable process.
The new skin is always as soft and
smooth as q baby's.

WHEN A JOKE Is NOT A JOKE.

He heard joke.
A millionaire
Was blandly telling 1t,
And he. with all the others there.
Thought it the best of wit.
They laughed. they roared, they held theil
sides
At almost every word:
They vowed: I'm that joke humor hides
The best We ever heard!'
He heard joke.
1t was the same
The millionaire had told;
The father of his latest fame
The rare bon mot unrolled.
And o, he laughed! His eyes were wet
With jolly tears-and then
He said: THAT is the best joke yet!
Please tell it once again!
He heard joke =.
The same, once more
This time, it was his boss
Whose face a merry dimple wore,
Who gave his head toss
And told the witticism through.
And he? He fairly screamed:
"Ha ha! Such men-ha, HAAS you
Know jokes" For SO it seemed.
He heard joke.
The same one-yes.
An after-dinner star
Arose, in fullest evening dress,
With aspect jocular,
And told that joke. What did he do?
He pounded on his plate
And told his neighbor: "Now, that's new
That orator is great"
He heard a joke.
The same old joke.
This time his bosom friend
Came chuckling. gave his ribs poke.
And told 1t to the end.
He gave his friend q look Of scorn,
And solemnly he scowled.
THAT joke was old when you were born.
In crushing tones he growled.

TRANSPLANTING OF TREES.
An Experienced Horticulturist Talks
About His Success in This Line

In the transplanting Of orchard
trees, one should keep in mind the
form and habit of growth of each tree.
Most trees that are transplanted
leave part Of the root system in the
ground from where they were dug. II
the roots have been mangled or torn,
they should be cut back to smooth
wood. In planting, the top should be
cut back, leaving a leader that 10 some
longer than the branches. If the top
should not be cut back, the leaves
would require SO much nourishment
that the short roots could not supply
it. The drying out of the tree would
result II the tree has well-balanced
top, branches evenly distributed
around the main stalk, it will not be
a very difficult matter to form good
tree; If, however, the branches arc
ON one side of the tree, it will be very
unshapely, and unless these are cut
back and branches allowed to form
on both sides. the tree will soon be

PUT SUGAR IN THE SOUP.
Smith Thought It Was Tea; Then
He Deliberately Lied
Out of It.

There had been glorious game of golf,
followed by a jolly dinner at the club
house, relates the Chicago Record-Herald.
Sometimes it is not the correct thing
to tell even truthful story with real
names, hence it happens that it was the
Joneses who gave the spread and the per-
son that happened in was Smith.
Smith is really man of parts, wealthy,
intelligent and genial and usually knows
what's what" but he is not given. to
swell affairs and il not dressy, withal.
A business call had taken Smith to the
club house, and Jones, seeing him, called
him to the table after the others had
begun. Soon as he was seated, being pre-
occupied by salutations from other persons
at the table that he knew, he was absent.
~ sweetening the cup at his elbow, when
Mrs. Jones, hoping to make the matter
quite plain to this plain man, said, shrink
ingly;
"Ah-Mr. Smith-er-that is the soup"
Yes, thank you," Smith nonchalantly
replied. "Yes'm, L understand. But
always sweeten my bouillon,' with the
slightest emphasis on "bouillon." Blu.
Smith was at that moment prevaricator,
to put it mildly. He really thought the
cup was tea, and probably never tasted
sweetened bouillon in his life.

Strings Of Noses.

In paper read by Miss Adele M.
Fielde before the section Of biology
of the New York Academy of Sciences.
the joints composing the antennae Of
ants were described as a series Of
noses, each having q special function.
The first joint distinguishes the ants
native nest from the nest of an enc
my; the second discriminates between
the odor of ants of different colonies,
but of the same species; the third dis
Germs the scent of the track left by the
ants own feet, and enables it to re-
turn over its route; the fourth and
fifth joints discover the distinctive
odor of the larvae, and II removed dis
able the ant from caring for the young
in a nest; the sixth and seventh joints
make known the presence of an ant Of
different species. Only after these
joints are developed will ants of diff.
ferent species fight one another.

Prevention of Apple Scab.

Apple scab may be easily prevented by
a couple of sprayings of bordeaux mix
ture, to the second of which paris green
should be added if there is any trouble
from cooling moth. In order not to
burn and rust the leaves, the solution
should not be stronger than six pounds
OF blue stone and four pounds of lime to
40 gallons OF water. Great empha-
sis should, however, be placed on the
fact that good care will almost entirely
obviate the necessity of spraying. If all
scabby, wormy, rotten fruit and all dead
leaves are carefully gathered up and
either burned or buried deeply, the main
source of infection will be removed. If
in addition to this the ground is kept
entirely free from weeds, the growth of
large crop will be promoted, and the
injury from these two sources will be
SO small as to be unimportant.

of little value. A little care at this
time in forming the head, will be of
great value, and often it means a diff
ference between a good long lived and
productive tree, and one that is Of
short existence and shows lack of at
tention. One very important point
that is frequently not taken into con-
sideration Is the length of trunk-all
successful fruit growers regard trees
with long bodies and a high head as
very unsatisfactory. They may appear
to be larger and for this reason would
come into bearing earlier; but if this
be true, such trees are more likely to
be injured by hot winds during sum-
mer and the thawing and freezing win
ter weather. The trunks are exposed
SO these elements have free access to
the body. 1t is this frequent thawing
and freezing in winter that produces
sun scald.
To obviate this trouble all growers
now prefer low-headed trees. Branches
are formed one to two feet from the
ground. See figure. When headed in
this manner the soil and small body
is properly shaded. Trees with low
heads are not SO liable to be in
jured by strong winds. The fruit will
not be blown off in such quantities and
it is much easier gathered; often
times most Of it can be picked from
the ground, especially If the tree be of
q spreading habit of growth. After
the tree has reached four or five years
of age it will be discovered in exam
ination that the buds are not all alike
On two-year-old wood or older fruit
spurs are formed on which the fruit
is grown. The spurs are usually one
half to three inches long and may be
mistaken for short branches. 1t is
very important that they are taken
into consideration when pruning. The
time for pruning is a debatable ques-
ton and in the very cold sections it
is considered safer to prune through
March, after the severe freezing wealth
er is over, and before the sap begins
to start.
When moderate-sized limbs are to
be removed sharp saw should be
used, and the limbs cut close to the
main stem; if stub is left the cam
blum layer will not form and it is left
to decay. This frequently causes the
trunk to become hollow, All branches
that cross or interfere should be re-
moved. The top should be opened but
not too much, or the branches may be
injured by the hot winds of summer,
or the drying winds of winter. Some
of the best pruning tools are those that
will remove the wood with the least
possible injury to the tree. The medi-
um-sized knife with a curved edge is
very good in removing limbs less than
one inch in diameter. Branches a lit
tie larger than this should be re-
moved with hand pruning shears.
These are made Of steel. with a spring
and blade which is protected with a
guard. A tool that Is very conven-
lent Is sort of shears placed on a
handle of different lengths. This tool
is used largely in removing branches
in the top of high trees. The saws
are of different sizes. One that is very
convenient, is known as the swivel
bladed saw. The blade Is about one
half inch wide and is easily turned 50
all limbs can be readily removed with
out injury to the tree.-E. e. Little.
