GIRLS. REMEMBER

Don't snub boy because he wears
shabby clothes. When Edison, the in
ventor of the telephone first entered
Boston he wore pair of yellow linen
brooches in the depth Of winter.
Don't snub boy because of the ig-
norance of his parents. Shakespeare,
the worlds poet, was the son of man
who was unable to write his own
name.
Don't snub boy because his home
is plain and unpretentious. Abraham
Lincoln's early home was log cabin.
Don't snub boy because he chooses
an humble trade. The author of ''Pil'
grim's Progress was tinker.
Dom snub boy because of his ply
steal disability. Milton was blind.
Don't snub boy because of dullness
in his lessons. Hogarth, the celebra
ted painter and engraver, was a stupid
boy at his books.
Don't snub boy because he shutters
Demosthenes, the great orator o.
Greece, overcame harsh and STAN
mering voice.
Don't snub any one. Not alone be
cause some day he may far outstril
you in the race for life, but because il
is neither kind or nor right nor Chris

TRANSPLANT
IN AUTUMN
Precautions to be Taken In
Carrying on the Work.

With the close of September the
planting of many deciduous trees may
be proceeded with, as the stripping of
the leaves, which would then be nee
essary, would not greatly harm the
trees certainly not to an extent that
would be worth considering. Leaves
have pretty well performed their duty
by that time, and but little would be
gained by letting them remain longer
ON the trees, not enough to set against
the gain of early planting.
Oak trees and other trees for the
matter of that, do very well when set
out early in autumn and well planted,
better even when set in spring, in
many cases. To the usual advice as
to good planting there are two other
points to be we'll considered. The first
is that the trees must be closely prun-
ed; and it must be understood that in
the case of oaks this means pruning
them almost to bare poles. 1t will not
do at all to set them out with lot of
side branches to them. There are 9TH
or trees that may be pruned unneces-
sarily close, but the oak must be cut in
close. The younger the tree the less is
this rule necessary, but with oak trees
of caliper of from two to.three inch
es, the side branches must be cut to
within six inches of the main stem.
But little of the leader need be cut
back, perhaps none. This retains the
height of the trees, and very soon new
shoots will form, which will push with
vigor; and in two or three years later
there will be tree of far more salts
factory appearance than there would
have been if the close pruning had
not been done.
There is another and a most impor-
tant matter to be attended to in the
planting of oaks in autumn. This is
to so cover the ground about them that
no frost will get to the roots Where
soil, sand, ashes, or the like, is avail
able, a heap of any of these piled around
a tree is sufficient, and is one of the
best of ways of preventing the entry
of frost. Forest leaves will answer,
but soil is better as, in addition tc
keeping out frost it prevents the tree
swaying about in winds, greatly to its
advantage. This covering need not
be applied until the advent of frost

Keeping Irons Clean.

When irons become rough or smoky,
lay little fine salt on fiat surface
and rub them well. 1t will prevent
them sticking to anything starched,
and make them smooth. A piece of
fine sandpaper is also good thing
to have near the stove, or a hard,
smooth board covered with brickdust,
to rub each iron on when it is put
back on the stove, SO that no starch
may remain to be burnt on. If the
irons get coated with scorched starch,
rub them over with beeswax, and it
will all come off. Rubbing the iron
with beeswax, even if no starch adj
heres, adds to the glossiness of the
linen that is irOned.
