The Late Crops.

Beets, carrots and Darsnips will do
better if put in as early as possible.
True. the custom all along has been
to wait until the weather became very
warm, but they prefer the cooler part
Of the season, and the earlier they are
put in the better. Give them whole
season in which to grow if you want
good crops of them. Cabbage plants
should be looked after for thexNS~
kinds. The Drumhead ara; winter
varieties, and the iuu- Z laC Dutch
those lines haN nrovements IN
settjr,s &W7e no superior for late
8cSSfKgN6ut. and they continue to be
the old standards. The cabbage is a
gross feeder, and one cannot make the
ground too rich for them. They thrive
with frequent hoeings and workings,
and should have plenty of cultivation.
Corn is planted usually before now,
south Of Baltimore. but it is not safe
to put it in until danger of frost is
over in this section. 1t is a semi
tropical plant, and once touched by
the frost it will not pay for the labor
that rs put on it. Too much care
cannot be given the selection Of seed
corn, however. Corn is also a gross
feeder, and cannot be placed on any
soil that will be too rich for it.

Tree Planting.

You would think that any one would
know how to plant tree. but there
are many people who do not know how
the work should be done. In plant
ing an orchard the entire field should
be put in fine filth the same as though
it was intended for planting corn, or
sowing wheat. 1t will rot do to fill
in about the roots of trees with
sods, Or any kind of manure. The
holes for the trees should be made
large enough to allow the roots to en-
ter without cramDing them. and deep
enough to permit the tree to stand a
little deeper in the soil than it stood
originally in the nursery. After plac-
ing the tree in the hole in the proper
position throw over the roots finely
prepared soil When the hole is half
filled press the dirt firmly about the
roots and see that no cavities are left
under the roots. Then fill in more
fine earth. and when the roots are
nearly covered press down the earth
as firmly as possible. Then spread
over the surface fine earth and leave
it loose as a mulch. But often trees
are planted in grass plots Where no
cultivation is given. In such places a
much wider exDanse Of sod should be
removed than the tree will occupy,
and larger hole should be made.
The sods removed should be placed
in pile at one side. and the fine
earth from the hole at another. Then
place in your tree and cover the roots
With the fine earth and pack it firmly
with your feet It rnay be necessary
to draw some earth from your garden
In wheelbarrOw in. order to get
enough fine earth to cover the roots
Of the tree properly When the roots
are well covered and the soil is firm
" pressed in about them. throw the
loose sod bottom side upward over
the roots of the transplanted tree and

leave them there as a mulch. Say
sods make ar excellent mulch. Every
week or two thcy can be stirred with
the hoe which will keep them from
taking root and robbing the trees Of
moisture. Later apply mulch Of
strong manure.

SOUTH AFRICAN GHOST YARN

SOUTH AFRICAN GHOST YARN.
b. Fletcher Robinson tells the story
of an army captain-a ''quiet, thick set
ieyel-headed man, with clear eye, a
strong will and enough common sense
to run morning paper who wentsto
dine with some lady friends at an old
Dutch manor house at Stellenbosch.
First of all, on his arrival he was
startled by the appearance on the
yeranda of huddled-up old woman,
with a long yellow face and thin
lips" and later on in the evening
when, after some music in the draw
ing-room, he returned to the dining
room for something he noticed that d
half-length portrait hanging on the
wall was swaying from side to side
with slow, deliberate swing, and that
the eyes of the man it represented
were watching him enviously.
Then 1t seemed to the captain that a
fog or mist was rising in the room. 1t
crept up and up till it reached his chin
and then, with shiver of wild terror,
he felt two hands fasten on his throat
hands with thin yet muscular fingers
that clutched even tighter as if grow.
Ing in strength as they materialized
And the man of the portrait, hanging
clear Of the gathering mist, still
watched him with an evil leer.. With
an effort he managed to get away, but
again, as he hurried from the house
he was startled by the vision of the
old, yell0W-faced woman.
On the following morning he heard
that his friends had left the house, and
that one of them stated that she had
been nearly strangled in the night.
AfterWard the captain discovered
that the house had for some time been
used as q temporary hospital, and that

the Lining room had ser a ned forsheIr

FIGHT WITH A LION.
Dssails Ct terrible sUcounter N "A

ps.saIIs q 3 tsrTis!s. s2eogntsr, With
a lion in Mashonaland are to hand by.
the last mail from South Africa. An
Englishman named Nicholson, accom-
panied by his Zulu servant, sighted the
animal lying ON top. OF a stony ridge.
With view to testing the theory that
lion will, if boldly approached, turn
tail and run, Mr.. Nicholson advanced
until he was about ten yards from the
ridge, while his Zulu made a flank
movement.
As the lion was about to spring Mr..
Nicholson sent a bullet from his Snider
rifle into the lions shoulder, and right
through its body. With an angry roar
Of pain, the beast sprang and a blow
from the pad of his paw sent Mr.
Nicholson rolling down the slope for
some twenty feet. &
On rising he witnessed a display Of
traordinary pluck on the part of Job,
his Zulu servant. Without the least
hesitation the native, carrying a shield
and two assegais, made straight for
the great brute, and when it sprang at
him received it on the shield and
thrust an assegai into its chest. But
Job fell, though fortunately under his
shield. Mr.. Nicholson then jumped to
the rescue. Drawing out his clasp
knife, he severed the tendons of one
Of the beasts hind legs and once more
the lion attacked him and threw him
clean over it's head.
Then it turned on the Zulu, but Mr..
Nicholson succeeded in cutting the ten
dons Of the other hind leg. This cons
pletely disabled the brute, which raved
and roared until Job, who had been
roughly mauled and was covered with
blood gave it the coup de grace with
two thrusts of his assegai. The plucky
Zulu had to undergo q repairs. Mr..
Nicholson was only. slightly damaged.

SAILORS FIGHT TARANTULAs

The Italian bark Anita Menotti re-
Gently arrived at Philadelphia from
Buenos Ayres. Under her matches she
had 1000 tons, of bones. When the
matches were lifted and the crew went
below they found that. a horde of ta-
srantulas, - centipedes and nameless
bugs were prepared to give battle.
When the sailors began the work of
unloading the pests fought them. The
seamen armed themselves with long,
strong bones, and with these they
sought to beat off the tarantulas and
centipedes. AS fast as one tarantula
was killed another took it's place.
Several of the seamen were nipped in
the legs, but saved from severe bites
by their sea boots. The sailors in the
hold soon became exhausted, and
others Of the. crew took their places.
but they could not put down their te.
nacious foes. At last the sailors
clambered out Of the hold, leaving the
tarantulas and their allies victors. It
was decided to kill the tarantulas and
centipedes by fumigating the hold.
This was done by burning sulphur.
