Dainty and fluffy is not what the
best sort of porch table covers must
be. 1t may be attractive, novel, of
artistic colors and designs, but there
must be a practicableness about it
which will make it better fitted for
its outdoor life" One which is in
good style is a square of cream-col-
ored canvas or cotton etamine, with
a border of Powered cretonne, which
is eight or ten inches wide. Gre
tonne or some linen art ware is often
found in some dark Egyptian design
This makes an effective center, with
plain border of some harmonizing
color. Pink ticking is the material
of another cover. Large roses are cut
from cretonne and appliqued around
the edge, forming an irregular border
If small black wash galloon is used
in this applique, more character is
given to the cover.

Apples, plums and cherries may be
grown by grating, while peaches,
pears ard cherries are more frequent
ly budded. Either operation requires
that good scions be obtained from
healthy trees of the desired variety.
This is where the farmer may make
use of the good varieties of the neigh
borhood.
In early winter, before frost has in
jured the tvlgs, cut good scions for
spring grating. Take those from the
most vigorous trees, particularly from
the ends of the main branches, where
the buds are well developed These
may be bound into bundles and kept
in the cellar until used. Buds are cut
as they are needed.
Grating is simple operation which
may be learned with a little practice
and may be done in the winter chen
other work is not crowdiug. The
most successful graft for nursery .)rac-
tice Is the tongue graft.
The root, a, is cut. as shown in Fig.
l, with tongue. which is fitted into
notch cut in the scion, b. The two
are stuck together with the bark lay
ers opposite and then wrapped with
a cord or string. Ordinary No. Is cot
ton wrapping Irvine is best. as it rots
off by the time the graft is reacy to
grow. The CRAFTS are placed in cellar
until time to plant in spring. They
are set six inches apart in rows three
feet wide with two buds on the lcion
above ground.
Budding is done in the supmer
when the scions are in most vigor-
Gus growth. The scions should be
cut from strong, healthy trees. Trim
the leaves as shown in Fig. 2 at a and
cut of the buds as they are set. They
are inserted under the bark at b. and
wrapped with Irvine or rafiia to keep
them securely in place.
After once well started, says the
Farm and Home. the bodies should be
kept clean to prevent undue branch
ing and make them grow tall. Good
cultivation is necessary at all times
They will usually grow from one to
two feet high during the first year,
and If the soil is favorable, will be
ready to transplant to the orchard

to rcll from the bottom. While these

Rural New Yorker, they should not
be used with first-class apples. as the

banker was found floating in the

two years. through his wildcat specula-

of every dollar he possessed. His

theory was generally accepted, not

possessed.
Without any previous knowledge of
newspaper making he succeeded in
gaining control of small newspaper
called the Public Record. He changed
its makeup and its general method of
treatment of the topics of the day, and
astonished the town by reducing the
price to one cent.
He became Democratic candidate

banks failed.

FRANK X. NIPPLE AND

The circumstances surrounding the
sclf-destruction of Frank X. Hipple
and of John S. Hopkins. cashier of the
Peoples bank, who killed himself in
March, 1898, are strikingly similar.
Both men occupied positions of trust,
were prominent in church work. had
rigid code of morals for the govern
ment of their employees. and were
strict observers of the Biblical iniunc-
ton to remember the Sabbath day to
keep it holy. Neither would ride In

Their would countenance the use of
liquor or tobacco in any form. Hop
kins maintained this attitude to the
day he destroyed himself. although he

bank. 1t was while he was in control
that he wrote the famous letter to n
henchman that he would shake the

mast brilliant and successful lawyers
in The Keystone state. He shot him

AMI not in Philadelphia, the circum
stpnces became known within "a

hv had been murdered by agents of
the Mollie Maguires, in revenge for
the active part he took in suppressing
that band of thugs.
The fact that Gowen had taken his
own life was established the next day,
and then began an investigation as to
the possible cause. The moral charac-
te. of the great lawyer was above re-
piuach. His life had been singularly
clean. and his reputation never had
bean furnished by even as much as the
breath of scandal. He died without

OE POLITICAL Attack.

Josiah X. Adams, prominent club
man and n lawyer and noted 1gure

phia's Fashionable world, killed him
self in a hotel in Philadelphia. six
years ago. Adams was a man of rare
culture. He took a liking for the ex-
element OF political life, and affiliated
himself with the Quay machine. He
was nominated FOR judge of the supe-
rior court. \ bitter attack was made
upon him by local newspaper. He
was accused OF having conspired with
another man TO defraud the public by
get-rich-quck scheme, in which it
was alleged that hundreds of persons
were induced TO invest to their sor-
row
Adams made a weak denial to the
charge, and withdrew from the ticket.
He never recovered from the blow.
On the day he shot himself he kissed
his wife affectlonately, left her, and in
five minutes was dying from bullet
wound in the head.

bank got away with only 100000,
which he lent on worthless collateral
to a concern called the Guarantors
company. He foisted the securities off
on the directors as of value and when
exposure threatened, he prepared

sci ,nce by writing n voluminous let

Nipple always sought, in the employ
me mt of clerks. to bring in young men
who were members and regular com
municants in some church. He did not
differentiate as to denomination. In
addition to refusing to have as clerks
any users of tobacco or liquor he was
opposed to any of his employees reading
Sunday newspapers or visiting race
tracks. AS there are no race tracks
in Philadelphia, New York was the
nearest place for those who sought
that form of amusement.
President Nipple learned about
year after the Real Estate company
was organized that one of his young
men had visited Sheepshead bay and
had won a five-dollar bet. The presi-
dent took him into his private office
and prayed with him. He gave him
marked Bible, and then dismissed him

THE COOLING MOTHS.
Autumn and Winter Habits of This
Troublesome Enemy of the Orchard.

An examination of the fruit in the
fall will show how important late
spraying for the apple orchard is. The
cooling moth begins early and thins
out the fruit by means of its first
brood. This fruit is out of the way
early. 1t drops off when less thar, half
grown. These early larvae enter the
apple at the calyx. as is well known.
Later comes the moth for the second
brood. She lays her eggs largely on
leaves. where they do not damage, but
some of them are laid on the green
apples, and tie larvae that hatcn out
enter the fruit wherever 1t is most
convenient. So the scientists have
told us, and little observation will
prove it. These worms are caught by
the late July spraying. A film of
poison on the apple will put an end
to the worm before 1t can do any in
jury.
Much has been learned about the
codling moth within recent years, but
there is still room for further re-
search. The worms that hatch on the
leaves eat the under side, and have
been known to burrow along the mid
rib. There is reason to suppose that
they can develop in the leaf. Is 1t
often that they do this? That may
explain why the insects are plentiful.
even after year in which there have
been scarcely any apples. Not having
fruit to live in, they have grown up
in leaves. If this should prove 10 be
the fact, 1t will be as important to
spray in of years as when there is
fruit, perhaps more SO. as the larvae
can be killed better on foliage than
on the apples. This is an intere sting
question, and one which owners OF Or
chards can assist to answer.
Not only are there two broods Of the
cudling moth during the year, hut it
is now considered possible that there
might be three, though that many have
not been actually reported. But the
development of the pest differs so
much in the length of time required
that there are mature insects from the
beginning to the end of its season.
We can get along quite well without
third brood.
The codling moth came from F.u.
rope, but unfortunately did not bring
its enemies with it. There are sew.
eral of them. so it appears. The de.
partment of agriculture is now inter.
ested in them, and has been eNreri'
menting with several. The results
have been sufficient to excite the topes
of fruit growers. In time the codiing
moth may go. as has already been pre-
dicted. but that time is still some dis
lance in the future. There is as yet
no safe and easy means for getting rid
of the worm in apples. and there may
not be till spray pumps are worn out
that are still unmade.
