DR.. Henry Thayer's Dilemma.

The following story, it is safe to
affirm, has never been seen in print:
The late DR.. Henry Thayer. the found
er of Thayer's laboratory in Cam
bridge. was on his way to his ofice
one winter morning in the early six
ties when the sidewalks were a glare
of ice. While going down Main street
he met lady coming in the oppo-
site direction. The lady was stranger
to him, although he was not unknown
to her.
In trying to avoid each other on the
icy pavement they both slipped, and
came to the sidewalk facing each
other, with their pedal extremities
considerably entangled. While the po-
lite doctor was debating in his mind
what was the proper thing to say or
do under the trying circumstances. the
problem was solved by the quick-wit-
ted lady. who quietly remarked:
Doctor. IL you will be good enough
to rise and pick out your legs, will
take what remains. Boston Herald.

THE STAR AND THE cYNIc.
Example of Pessimism Seems About
the Limit

tne Iin1n.
Gen. Thomas H. Hubbard was talk
ing in New York about the advertise
ment for an optimistic surgeon that
Lieut.. Peary inserted in the papers
before the departure of his expedi-
ton.
Gen. Hubbard subscribed $4,000 to
the expedition. Therefore it is easy
to see that he has profound interest
in it.
"Peary in his advertisement was
right" he said. "It is as needful that
the expeditions physician be CHEEKY
optimist as that he be a practical sur
gen. Optimism and good spirits go
far in a voyage like this one. Per
haps It is because there has not been
enough optimism and good cheer
among men in the past that the north
pole has not yet been found.
when it is found, an optimist. COM
manding a band of optimists, will find
it. and there will be no such cynic
in that resolute and successful crew
as the one who sailed with Peary on
an earlier expedition.
He was indeed a cynic. Let me
give you an example of his disposi-
ton. With Peary, one glorious night,
he paced the deck. Pointing to the
sky. ablaze with splendid planets.
Peary said:

sPANIARo's NERVES GAVE WAY
Sputterins Fuse Was Getting Too
Close to Dynamite"


When, some time ago. an American
and Spanish officer quarreled fierce
ly over love affair and the choice of
weapons fell to the American he ar
ranged the following method of set
ting their differences. Two cases Of
dynamite were to be placed 100 yards
apart, and to each was to be attached
long fuse. Each rival was to take
his seat on one of the boxes. the fuses
were to be lit simultaneously. and the
man who retained his seat the longer
was to be declared victor. At the
time appointed the duelists duly en-
throned themselves on their respec-
tive seats and the fuses were lit. AS
the fire ran Kissing along the fuse and
death came nearer and nearer the
Spaniard turned first pale and then
green with alarm. and. finally, unable
to bear the strain any longer. jumped
down and took to his heels. Mean
while his American rival maintained
his seat placidly. never moving
muscle: and when his fuse had burn
ed itself out he calmly dismounted
and emptied and took away the cases.
which. as he we'll knew. were filled
with nothing more explosive than
sand.

Sod-Bound Trees.

Sod bound trees are not very COM
mon, but they are to be met with.
When a tree has made good growth
and has spread out its top to cover its
feet there is little danger of its be-
coming sod bound, for the branches of
the tree catch most of the sunshine
and the grass growth below is meager.
The sod bound condition comes when
the tree is either very young or so old
that the leaves are thin and few. The
young tree that is set in grass ground
and has never obtained very good
hold of the ground is the one most
likely to become sod bound, which
means that the roots of the grass have
taken possession of the soil and are
taking most of the plant food and
moisture. Such a tree can be relieved
only by digging out the grass and CIV
ing its roots the entire use of the
ground.-Farmers' Review.

Sheep in the Orchard.

II the trees are protected by some
means, sheep are as useful for picking
up fallen fruit as pigs are, perhaps
more so. They are on hand when an
apple falls, while the hogs may be
asleep in the shade. The apple ought
to be devoured promptly before the
worm has had time to crawl out. 1t is
nearly ready to do so before the apple
falls. and does not lost much time af-
forwards. This will suggest the i'm
portance of prompt action il the cod
ding moth is to be kept down. Give
the animals a chance at the little fruit
that falls early, and SO dispose OF the
greater part Of the insect crop. BY
these means the number of the moths
can be greatly reduced. but the fight
must be kept up every year.-Ohio
Farmer.

THE OLD ORCHARD.
How It May Be Treated So as to Re-
store It to a Profitable
Basis.

AS an orchard, it had always been
q failure. The trees had come from
the refuse of an abandoned nursery.
Ninety-nine men in hundred would
not have taken the trees as a gift and
the one remaining man took them be-
cause they were cheap.
For 30 years part of the trees stood
and grew. The others died, most of
them early. Occasionally they pro-
duced apples, but did not take this as
the serious part of their existence. The
chief purpose was to cucumber the
ground, making it less valuable for
other purposes and of no account as an
orchard.
In course of time the farm had a
change of owners. The new man had
an idea. The orchard was not profit
able, but it had never been fairly treat
ed. Good trees could not be made from
poor stock, but there was possibility
OF bringing about a better condition
than then existed.
The soil was a light, gravelly loan,
not a good place for an apple. More
over, the laid had been exhausted by
continual cropping for many years.
This, with poor stock in the beginning,
had resulted in stunted, half-starved
trees.
The first step was to plow the ground
in the spring and SOW to rye. When
it had grown large enough to afford
pasture, hogs were turned in. who wal
lowed down the green straw and gath
cred some lard into themselves. The
next year the ground was again plowed
and sown, and the hogs called in for
the harvest. Four times was this re-
peated, to the great satisfaction of the
animals and, as it proved, to the bene-
fit of the trees.
1t was by that time evident that a
change had taken place. The trees
grew as they had never grown before.
There was fruit in abundance, too. The
orchard come up smiling with it's bur-
den on ''off" years when it was good
to have apples. 1t bore every year and
was the most profitable part Of the
farm.
A part of the original orchard was
fenced off and received such treat
ment as trees usually receive in cul-
tivated field given up to the ordinary
farm crops. After six or seven years
they did not look as though they could
have been set at the same time with
their more thrifty neighbors.
II potash and phosphoric acid had
been applied the results should have
been still better, remarks the Ohio
Farmer. AS it was, the ground re-
ceived a supply of much needed hu-
mus and such other fertility as come
from pasturing. Results as good or
better might be obtained by many
from orchards now considered unprof-
table.

SIS it losing COLOR" asked a visitor
at the New York aquarium of one of
the attendants, referring to the blue
lobster, which seemed to him to be

NO" was the answer, ut simply

its back is caused by fine, velvetlike
marine vegetation that has settled
there out of the waters of the tank and
had chance to grow and spread be-
cause the lobster here cannot well
keep itself clean.

tured with barnacles growing on them,

attach and grow on turtles and on
ships, and plenty of Holsters have been
taken with marine vegetation attached
to and growing on them. knew of an
old lobster, weighing about 25 pounds,
that had attached to it, growing in
this manner when it was captured.
sea grass two and half or three feet
long.
But Holsters with such growth on
them would be most likely to be found
on rocky bottoms; On sandy bottoms
Holsters are likely to keep themselves
clean.
"If this blue lobster was free and on
a sandy bottom. it would bury itself in
the sand and rub itself in it, as a
chicken rubs and wallows in the dust,
and so keep it's shell smooth and free
from growths. Blu. we couldn't give
this lobster sand mere, because if we
did 1t would keep itself out of sight
more or less. and we keep it here to
be seen.
mo, the blue lobster Is all right:
all it needs is little grooming"
