Arbor Day-Plant a Tree.

Today, Friday April 2Sth, has
been designated by Governor John
son as Arbor Day, and to- the citi.
zens of Virginia, which iasso gener-
ally destitute of trees add shfdb-
berry; the day should be more titan
a passing event; it shouId be 7ob-
served literally, and every owner of
property should take pride. in
planting a tree or shrub for the
permanent identifying 1 of their
premises. , :
In the planting of these trees zor
shrubs there are several rules to$be
observed which will PROVE of val ue.
Do not dig deep holes in the clay
soil. for the surface water will get
tie in the hole and as the roots
reach down to it they rot, and ID a
few years you see your trees are DOT
doing we'll, and wonder what is the
matter with them. i
The depth of the hole should be,
for small trees and shrubs, II to- 16
inches; for larger tEees ! 10 tos "A
inches. The clay taken out in Dig
ging the hole should not be used
in setting the tree or bush. Good
sandy loan with some black earth
mixed in makes good SOIL Small
trees and shrubs should be set deep
enough so as to have three to four
inches of earth over the upper roots;
large trees should have from six to
eight inches over them. Before
setting, all trees and shrubs should
be root-pruned. This is, the ends
of the roots should be cut back till
you come to green bark, a sloping
cut from the under side upward, is
the best; then the fine hair roots
have no trouble in starting out all
around the end of the root.
Put little good soil in the bot
tom of the hole, set your tree in;
have it held upright while you
spread out the lower layer of roots
and cover with the good soil,- then
spread out the next layer and fill in
as before, being careful to pack it
in firmly around, the rootss with
your hand; and 80 proceed till they
are all covered; then fill the hole
with good soil. Then hold the tree
straight with one hand and tread
the earth down firmly, beginning
at the outside of the hole; then a
little more earth, leaving it5sloose
and dishing from outside, so that
water will run to the tree. Then a
mulching of stable manure, eight to
ten inches, reaching as far as out
side the hole; and-so mulched; once
a week is often enough to wet the
tree.
When trees are dug a large share
of their roots are left in the ground,
and if when reset, all, of their tops
are left on, the cut roots are not
able to furnish sap enough TO make
healty growth, and the tree is
more likely to die. when the hot
weather comes. - &c.. $50

Types of Weak Men.

Ioul Tue NdshViie American,
The man who allows his anger to throw
him on his balance, who falls an easy
victim to passion and permits his breast TO
be filled with murderous resentment ia q
weak man and not a strong man. He Ia
too weak to master himself, and In his van
ity and barbarous egotism he places his
own sense OF anger and his selfish instinct
above the right of others and the fair and
just requirements of Law and society. An
ger Is no evidence of courage Passion ia
most quickly manifest In the man in whom
mere animal impulse easily dominates rea-
son. Mere brute courage supported by an
ger Is cowardice compared with moral
courage. The bullying, quarrelsorne. brawl
ing brute. ever ready to fight somebody in
time of peace. has been known to whine
Ike cur and run like a coward in battle
where the bullets are not respecters of
persons. He has been known to flee from
contagion when the stricken needed aid
and to hang back from d burning buildin~

dangered.

able weakling in the face of tempta fion

a gambler or to yield to lustful passion, and
who mistakes the very Weakness OF his
to excuse or defend the murderer There
are certain types of men which sympathize

other types different only in their connate

these types in order to ditferentiate them.

But these deeds of sheer chivalry.
Most of the queer goods that Zeilah
exports are taken in the conventional way
of the wild beast catcher the world over:
by pitfall. snare and drive. And when
they enter the portal to the strange world

their freedom to crafty its curiosity, they

When the wild gods of the jungle come
in, there come in also victims to make
sacrifice for them; ponies, sheep, zebu and
other small cattle. Many herds of the
gentle things die each week In the jungle

SUB-CALIBER METHOD
DESCRIPTION OF EFFECTIVE
STYLE OF TARGET PRACTICE.
Has Been Employed in Uncle Sans
Navy Since 1seo-Not Copied
From japanese Navy.

Naval officers generally take exception to
the widely published statement that the
United States navy copied from the Jap
anese navy the sub-caliber method of tar
get practice to which the splendid marks
manship of Togo's gunners in the great
battle of the Korean straits is attributed
1t is stated as a matter of fact tina. while
the modern Japanese navy is of compare
lively recent birth. the sub-caliber method
of target practice has been used IN the
United States navy for at least fifteen
years.
An interesting description of sub-caliber
practice was given by naval officer of
high rank in the following words:
Il do not know who invented the sub
caliber method or to what nation is due
the credit of first applying it. but do know
that 1t has been in use in our navy as long
as breech-loading guns. You know, our
modern navy is of comparatively recent
growth, and many other nations had
breech-loading guns and armored ships be-
fore we got them. I have not the dates at
hand. but should say tina. the sub-caIiber
method has been in use in our navy since
1880
Two Systems in Use.
There are two systems OF sub-caliber
practice. The one most in vogue is where
the rifle barrel or tube Is inserted In the
center OF the bore of the gun. The other
method is known as the Morris tube and
was fathered. If not invented. by Capt.
Scott Of the British navy. The Morris tube
Is a Flobert rifle attached to the outside
OF the gun.
..The object OF sub-caliber practice is
economy. 1t costs several hundred dollars
each time one OF the large modern guns
ID discharged. but as in a modern naval
battle everything depends upon the man
behind the gun being able to hit the
mark, 1t is important that our gunners be
given plenty OF target practice. The sub

cranes hawser is damned into the Wide
canvas bands that have been passed around

points of tiger and rhinoceros as racing
men know the points of horses. The trade
that they make is as sharp as any ever
driven by a New England deacon over a
'hoss."
After that the real troubles of animal and
buyer begin and. strangely enough, the
mans are greater than those of the beast.
Though it seems against all reason, the
great cats and in fact, most wild animals,
do not suffer seriously from confinement in
little cages. A lion or tiger will arrive in
America in first-cass condition after a

Department of Agriculture guarantees his
menagerie. The state does the same. The
municipality sends it's health board and its
police to investigate the consignment
And then at last the baggage smasher gets
hold of the lot.
The longshoreman, unima ginative and
"sot" in his ways, unloads coal, silks, pig
iron, camels, coffee and lions with only one
and the same idea-and 1t would be the
same If he were unloading a cargo of
angels-to get the job done in the quickest
possible time.

But the buyer has his money. often his
whole fortune, staked on the ship that

premium on wild animal insurance Is pro-
hibitive. Even companies that take risks
on plate glass windows and blasting out
