Buyinr Cheap Trees.

There is an almost universal COM
plaint among fruit growers that the
trees obtained from nurseries nova
days do not possess vitality nor
bear the quality of fruit that
did trees years ago. This is un-
dOubtedly due to the fact that the de-
mand for trees at low prices has in
duced nurserymen to. obtain their
scions for propagating purposes from
selected bearing trees. In other words,
the individual merit Of the tree from
which to perpetuate is no longer con-
sidered. We appreciate the value Of
proper breeding with our stock, but
can see only the cost Of the tree when
1t comes to that part Of the investment.
1t is expensive for nurserymen to OBJ
tain proper material for frst-class
trees, and such trees can not be sold
for few cents each.
Fortunately, there is likely to be a
decided change in this condition, for
some of the larger nurseries are pre-
pairing to offer trees at different prices,
strictly in accordance with the excel
lence Of the tree in all ways. AS these
men are reputable, there will be no
doubt about honest dealings. Twenty
years ago, when our first orchard was
set, we paid % cents each for apple
trees in hundred lots. Last year we
bought better-looking trees for cents
each, but we do not believe they will
bear fruit to compare with that given
by the trees of the old orchard for
many years back. Don't forget there
is such thing as false economy.

Just wonderful.

vestry, Miss, Jan. 1st (Special)--
The case of Mrs. G. w. Pearson, who
resides here is a particularly interest
ing one. Here is the story told by
Mr.. Pearson, her husband, in his own
words. He says:
NY wife's health was bad for .
lsng time. Last July she was taken
terrible bad with spasms. l sent for,
the doctor, and after making a thor
ough examination of her, he said un-
doubtedly the cause Of her trouble was
a disordered state of the Kidneys.
His medicine didn't seem to be doing
her much good, SO as I heard about
Dodd's Kidney Pills, got her a box
just to give them a trial. Well, the
effect was just wonderful. 1 saw that
they were the right medicine and 1
got two more boxes. When she had
taken these she was SO much better
that she had increased thirty pounds
In weight. She Is now quite well, and
We owe 1t all to Dodd's Kidney Pills"

An Impossible Feat,

Ainsworth Il. Spofford, chief assist
ant librarian of the Congressional
Library, speaking ,of fiction, said:
Much Of it is false--as false as the
story Of Napoleon and the one-armei
soldier.
Napoleon, seeing this one-armet;
soldier on the streets of Paris one
day, called him up and said:
"'Where did you lose your arm, my
friend?
I'm your last campaign, SIRE thu
soldier answered.
"'And you were never decorated?'
said Napoleon.
Never, SIRE
Then here is the cross. May you
wear 1t with honor said the Emperor.
and, taking the cross from his OWE
breast, he pinned It on the soldiers
faded coat.
"The one-armed soldier flushed with
pride at this great honor. His eve
glittered. his breast heaved, his lip
curled proudly.

lost both arms, what thenT
Then said Napoleon, 4 should

"On hearing these words the soldier,
quicker than thought, drew his sword
