Nourishino Old Fruit trees.

Often the roots of fruit trees, more
exhausted than the parts in the air,
refuse to supply the branches with
their proper nourishment. To cure or
prolong life of trees possessing still a
certain vigor a French investigator
has injected solutions of sulphate OF
iron and other chemicals into the
trunks. The liquid penetrates into the
cells of the tree, but not into the old
wood. 1t follows the young layers,
descending into the roots to the depth
of three and a quarter feet and rising
to the top of the tree with uniform
distribution. Good results are said to
have been attained.

Apnendicitis as a Craze.

Dr. Boyden adds his testimony to
that of Prof Dieulafoy as to the extent
to which wrong diagnosis leads to use
less operations for appendicitis, says
the London Globe. In his own expert
ence operations OF the kind have been
carried out on patients in the early
stages of typhoid fever. One child
was brought to him for operation, on
the faith of family doctors diagno-
sis, and he satisfied himself by exam
nation that the symptoms pointed to
nothing worse than worms. So infatu-
ated were the parents, however, that
they removed the child and had the
operation performed elsewhere.

A Poor Excuse,

When President Hadley of Yale was
professor of political science there, a
student once offered him a poor ex-
cuSe for bad examination paper.
Prof. Hadley listened to the excuse
in silence. Then he said, with grim
smile:
THAT excuse is about as poor as the
one criminal lawyer offered for his

with him.
