Some Prlnciples of Graftlng.

The first thing to be consid red by
the fruit grower or nurseTyman who
wishes to propagate new stock OF
change old ones by the grating pro
cess Is, will such and such trees or
shrubs unite their wood cells closely
and strongly so as to make new and
perfect tree?
Never, to my knowledge, have trees
of different families been made to
unite their woods sufficiently to make
a lasting union. Many attempts have
succeeded far enough only to form an
unstable graft that would break apart
sooner or later and generally before
the end of year.
Again, it is often quite impractical
BILE to obtain a good union between
members of the same family. The
rose family. to which most of our wes-
tern fruits belong, is divided into sub
families or tribes, and it is found un-
natural for the members of one tribe
to graft with another tribe or sub
family. For intsance, the apple and
pear which belong to one tribe of the
rose family, will not unite with the
plum, peach or cherry, which belong
to another tribe or tribes of the rose
family. In other words, you cannot
graft successfully the stone fruits with
the pome fruits 1t is still more i'm
practicable to graft any of these fruits
upon the most of our common forest
trees, which belong to widely differ
ent families. The successful propaga
tor goes still further than this, in that
he finds it to mis- interests to study
the common likes and dislikes for
each other among the varioas en-
bers of the same family. For instance,
the peach and plum are very common
ly gra ted or budded back and forth
upon each other. There are certain
varieties of these fruits, however,
that are found to be better adapted
to each other than another, and it is
for the nurseryman or horticulturalist
to discover these varieties that
"work" best together.
The peach is desirable and appro-
pirate stock for certain varieties of
the um, but there are certain varie-
ties that do not form a perfect and
lasting union with the peach. / re.
member at the time the Hawkeye
plum was first introduced of buying
about ten of the trees at 81 each.
They we're budded on the peach and
we're fine, thrifty trees as come from
the hands of the nurseryman. set
them out in the orchard, expecting
quick and desirable returns from
them. They had stood hardly two
years in the orchard before the' be-
gan to show signs Of weakness-t they
began to look runty. dug them
out, one by one, and found lack of
congenality between the top and the
root They we're like some people we
hear so often about--perhaps know
some of them-who get married on
sight, and after few months, or at
most few years, they find remedy
for their uncongenial alliance in the
divorce courts
The practice that prevails to quite
an extent among our nurserymen of
propagating these uncongenial varie-
ties upon each other is done for the
mere sake of gain. or in other words,
the trees, like Hodges razors, care
mad to sell. And this reminds me,
too, that the man or woman who mar
ries for the sake of sordid gain or po-
siton meets a fate similar to these
same razors. Il. o. Williams.

Advertising.

The farmer has faith. He sees good
corn going into pig without having
qualm of fear. He knows that it is
good investment of feed and will
pay him. The advertiser has not the
same faith at times. He has a spasm
every time he puts little money into
an advertisement. Yet the money he
invests in this way pays the adver-
tiser, just as the corn put into the
stomach of the pig pays the farmer.

HEAD NOTES HANDED
 DOWN YESTERDAY

By Weakley, C.. J.--Fitzhugh Lee vs. J. D. Crump appeal from .Gadsden city.
 l. When the time of the speaking of slanderous words is laid in the complaint under a vldelicit, it is not necessary to prove the precise time alleged.
 9 It is not necessary in an action Tor islander to prove literally the words all legged. It is sufficient if they are sub stantially established.
 Scott vs. McKinnish, 15 Ala. 662 fol- lowed.
 g. When words are used which in their ordinary signification impute to the plain tiff the crime of larceny the defendant may prove that the hearers knew or were informed that the application or the words was to an act which amount ed to a trepass only. This principle, however, is not applicable when there Is an entire absence of proof that the hearers either knew or were informed that the defendant had reference to mere trepass instead of to felony.
 l. It will not avail the defendant using slanderous words imputing larceny that the plaintiff had not committed that crime, if the hearers do not know that fact.
 D. Malice is the gist of the action Of islander, and malice is of two kinds, ex- press or implied.
 6. A charge that the use of words falsely imputlng larceny to the plaintiff because of anger and i'll will would be malicious, the charge submitting the finding of the facts to the jury), is cor rect. Affirmed opinion by Weakley, C.. J.: Tyson, Simpson and Anderson, J. J., concurring.
 Nashville. Chattanooga and St. Louis railroad vs. Francis Hill, appeal from Marshall circuit court.
 l. When there are several counts in a complaint and each count claims $l99o, as damages for the killing of plaintiffs s minor son, the case Is not removable to the federal court. Since the decedent could be killed but once, it is not legally possible for the plaintiff to recover for more than one injury or for more than the sum claimed in each count.
 9. Theoretically each count of com plaint is considered as the statement or different cause of action, yet practical ly the court knows that numerous counts are employed to avert Q variance be- tween pleading and proof when plaintiff possesses and means to assert but single right of action.
 B. When suit is brought in time. and an amendment is made which is within the lis pendens it relates back to the com mencement of the suit and is not barred by the statute of limitations.
 4. When issue is taken on the plea or the statute of limitations in code form, or upon a plea in a form of no greater value than the code form, the plea Is not proven if, in fact, the action or amendment is not barred by the statute, the code form being the averment or a mere legal conclusion.

to be within the subject matter of the original complaint.
 G. When the verdict is not shown to be excessive a new trial will not be granted on account of the amount of the recovery. Affirmed opinion by Weakley, c. J.: Tyson. Simpson and Anderson, J. J., concurring
 Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company vs Jesse l.. Adams, appeal from Jefferson circuit court.
 l. A count of complaint which ayers that the plaintiff was injured while a passenger upon defendants railway, and , that his injuries were proximately caused by the negligence of defendants servants in and about the carriage of the plain tiff as a passenger of the defendant is not objectionable because of the general ity of the averment of negligence.
 Armstrong vs. Montgomery Street Rail way company 123 Ala, 233 followed.
 ?. When the facts out of which a duty is supposed to spring are averred in the complaint and those facts show a duty not neglgently to injure the plaintiff the complaint is good, against a de- murrer complaining that no duty is shown. The duties incident to carriage of passengers when the relation Is shown, will be implied without being specially pleaded
 3. When the complaint shows that the plaintiff was actually a passenger and was negligently injured 1t is not neces- sary to aver that the defendant was a common carrier, that is one obliged to carry the plaintiff, 1t being sufficient that the defendant actually accepted and undertook to carry the passenger on the occasion of his injury
 1. The word passenger, ex vi termin means "one who travels in some public conveyance by virtue of a contract ex- pressed or implied. on the payment of fare or that which is accepted as an equivalent therefor" Affirmed Opinion by Weakley c. J.. Tyson, Simpson and Anderson, J. J., concurring.
 City of Mobile vs. Ferdinand Phillips, appeal from the Mobile city court. l. The charter of Mobile does not ex- empt one who exercises two privileges from taking out license for one because he has procured license for the other 7. One who purchases in another state articles of merchandise, brings them into this state, stores them in a warehouse and sells them to customers here, all though in original packages. is doing a domestic business, and may be required to take out license therefor without of lending the commerce clause of the con- stitution of the United States.

SELF-CAPTURED CRIMINAL
A Paris Murderer Who Had to Beg the
Police to Arrest Him.

''But the main thought driven IN
upon one who studies the police OF
Paris" says Vance Thompson in Every,
body's, "is that hazard plays a mighty
part in the detection Of crime and the
capture of criminals. M. Goron told
mo one case that is epic in its way.
A cook in the Fould family has been
found strangled III her kitchen, 1t was
brutal murder and caused intense eX-
citement, Now, unfortunately, neither
M. Goron nor his best detectives could
discover the criminal. Weeks passed
and tho newspapers denounced daily the
incapaclty of the police, Had the re-
they would havo bantercd the chief out
of office. The murderer was wastrcl
lad named Ducrct, the son of porter
in the house. Without money, wander
ing half frozen in Paris, he at last
decided to give himself up. With his
last sou he bought an evening paper IN
which he read that all the high func-
tionaries of the police were giving q
banquet that night TO the prefect Of
to do it. Two policemen were on guard
at the door.
g I am the assassin, Ducret began.
"' None of your games here, SAID
the policeman, and kicked him across
the street
"The gloomy murderer went on his
way. In the Auteuil quarter another
gendarme refused to arrest him; he en-
tered a restaurant and had dinner; when
the bill was brought he said: 1 have
no money; [ am an assasslnj have me

q scandal in my house, do you2 the
landlord shouted; he thrust him out of
doors.
''The unhappy murderer went on. In
the rue de la Pompe he came upon two
policemen. Politely he approached
them, took off his hat, and told his
story.

and they took him to the station.

On the Hypertrophy of Golf.

Are we in danger of spelling our
golff The question inevitably arises
when one considers the remarkable rec
ord made u few days ago by the pro-
fessional player, Willie Anderson, on
the Onwentsla links, one of the longest
courses In the country He did the
eighteen holes in 67 strokes in the morn
ing and 6S in the Afternoon.
1t is no disparagement OF Anderson s
skill to say that the accomplishment OF
this wonderfully low score was made
possible by the latest improvements in
clubs and balls. The very instruments
that make phenomenally long shots pos
sible add to the likelihood OF wild play,
as every amateur knows. Therefore it
was Anderson S supreme skill, no less
than his unflagging stamina and self
control, which enabled him to achieve
his very low score.
But the peril to which the game is
exposed is nevertheless made clear by
the very fact that Anderson vas able
to do the eighteen holes in 6T strokes:
| mean: the likelihood of changing golf
from a game of many strokes to mere
cross-country pedestrianism, varied by
an occasional swing of the club,
Today one manufacturer gives us
pneumatic ball, another uses inner
wrappings of silk, still another includes
drop Of mercury in the heart OF the
ball, so that it Will run more truly on
the putting green,
And all to what purposei Why, to
lengthen the stroke and SO cut down
the number of strokes. But, some one
asks, don T. we play golf IS most
pleasant exercise, and therefore would
not 1t be better TO increase rather than
diminish the number Of strokesf Ne,
no. We really play golf Ter the noble
purpose Of cutting down records. We
care not who makes the laws or the
songs of the country, If only we can
make new records. Let US cast out
all considerations of health, Of exercise.
OF sport. OF amusement, and let us
achieve records. No matter how we DO
it. We will use the nest resilient balls
man can make, extra long-shartsd clubs,
with phenomenal power of swiping,
with convex faces OF springy steel to
heighten the force of our strokes, If we
choose.
