BoRERs AND SUN ScALD.
Suggestions for the Setting Out OF
Shade Trees.

In my experience the borers and
sun scald are the greatest obstacles to
the growing Of shade trees. I have
found it to be good plan to coat the
trees with some kind of paint soon
after planting the trees In planting
it is we'll to remove quite large por-
ton of the top part, to enable the
tree to withstand the loss Of part
Of it's roots when it is taken out OF
the ground In digging up trees a
very large portion of the ends of the
RIOTS is left in the ground The roots
SO left contain root1ets and feeding
hairs in large numbers AS the root
takes it's food through these root hairs,
it is evident that when the. tree is
placed in new ground it is very de
f1etent in ability to- take in food and
moisture enough to supply large
tots: In setting out trees, do not put
them close together. If they are ON
lawns. think that 60 OF so feet
is close enough, and for the street
40 or so feet. Trimming is necessary
to get more dense shade and better
shape. .,--

recommend; also, while noting that it
is to be obtained hand or machine
knitted in many dark colors as well
as in white, this makes a capital golf
costume in combination with a plain
skirt of the popular Highland clan,
and a small toque with cock feathers.
The most favored costume is OF
black cloth; this, being considered
prominently safe, is chosen by six
women out of eight, and, trimmed to
discretion with lines of black silk
braid either on the pleated OF blouse
bodice Or the tight coat, it can be
suited easily to the condition of best
gown or everyday gown.
The manufacturers are forever i'm
proving velveteen, most advantag-
eous fabric, which now has granted
unto it soft finish, bringing it into
close resemblance with chihon-velvet.
It appears, too, in many excellent col
ors, mulberry being one of the great
est successes, and this in combination
with yellowish lace and ivory chiffon,
plead most heartily as the selection
for an autumn tea gown of your de-
light, the lace being used with great
profusion about the neck to the waist,
and in full frills on the wide sleeves
of velvet, which should assume bell
shape at the back of the elbow and
be short in the front.

SCION AND STOCK.
The Relation of the One to the Other
in Producing Fruit.

Everybody knows that when a scion
is inserted in a tree the fruit which
it produces is that of the scion and
not of the stock. There have always
been some who believed, on general
principles, that the stock had some
influence on the fruit, even if it could
not be perceived. An imperceptible
influence is hardly worth inquiring
into, but some study has been given
by competent observers, whose con-
clusion is that the root systems OF
some Stocks were better purveyors
of nutriment than others, so that
scions grated into them might pro
duce more Or larger fruit than when
grated into other stocks with which
equally good unions were made. But
the curiosity of modern Investigators
is Unsuitable, and some people have
been trying to find out how it is that
a ounce root, for example, will pro-
duce a pear. or an almond root a
plum. Some have thought that it was
the leaves which did the trick, which
was rather natural theory. because
the sap is digested and the nutr1ment
assimilated in the leaves. To deter
mine this point, says an exchange,
scions of the yellow transparent apple
were inserted into branches OF the
wild crab. After fruit spurs were
formed all leaves were removed from
the graft and none allowed to form
during the season, so that all Of tie
sap was elaborated by the leaves Of
the wild crab. At the same time an
other scion of the same yellow trans
parent tree was inserted into a twig
of the same branch and allowed to
form it's own leaves. Both of these
crafts bore fruit this season, and the
general verdict is that no difference
either in size, color or favor can be
| detected In both instances the fruit
! is clearly yellow transparent. This
experiment would seem to indicate
| that it makes no difference from
whence the sap comes, the fruit will
remain true to it's kind.

Reckless of Danger, the Great Soldier
Was Wounded Many
Times,

In reply to the question in what en-
gaSements he considered himself to
have been in the greatest danger of
losing his life Napoleon once said, I'm
the commencement OF my campaigns
Indeed, il further proof were demand
ed to show that he did not spare him
self at Toulon it is only necessary to
add that during the ten weeks of it's
siege Napoleon, in addition to a bay
onet wound in his thigh: had three
horses shot under him. while at the
siege of Acre during the expedition to
Egypt he lost no fewer than four in
the same manner.
During the last days of his life,
when captivity, disappointment and
sickness had well nigh completed their
work, it is said that the agony of his
fatal disease drew from him on many
occasions the pitiful cry of, why did
the cannon balls spare me?'
During his long military career Nae
poleon fought 60 battles, while Caesar
fought but so. In the early part of his
career he was uttrely reckless Of dan
ger while on the battlefield, and this
spirit of fearlessness contributed large
ly to the love and esteem in which he
was held by his armies. There was a
curious belief among the English in
Napoleon's time that he had never
been wounded, and indeed the report
was current that he carefully if not in
a cowardly manner refrained from ex-
posing himself. Nothing could be more
| contrary to the truth, for he was in
reality several times severely wound
ed, but as he wished to impress upon
| his troops the belief that good fortune
never deserted him and that, like
Achilles, he was we'll nigh invuIner-
able, he always made a secret of his
many dangers. He therefore enjoined
once for all upon the part Of his i'm
mediate staff the most absolute silence
regarding all circumstances of this ma
ture, for it is almost impossible to call
culate the confusion and disorder
which would have resulted from the
slightest report or the smallest doubt
relative to his existence Upon the sin
gle thread of this mans life depended
not only the fate and government OF a
great empire, but the whole policy and
I destiny of Europe as well :-:' -

On a background of piled up heaps
of yellow gray smoke, seeming great
puffs from giant fire, rose a perfect.
straight column of burning material,
without a flaw or deviation, to what
seemed thousands Of feet above,
spreading at the top and throwing cut
myriads Of iridescent globes in all d.

as that of a Cyclopean rocket.

The ideal location for such g hot
house as is here suggested and which
has been found successful, is the

The next best would be the south or
east side, with double wall, or glass

These general directions are recon-

required location in a space of six
by IL feet Oong way, east and west)
within two feet of the cellar floor
Make two openings in the cellar wall,
one IA inches square, four inches
above the pit floor, and one foot from
the outside wall of the basement, and
another circular opening eight inches
in diameter at the most convenient
point on the same wall and about six
inches from the basement ceiling. Fit
an iron furnace door frame into the
large opening and a circular metal

door, frame, hinges and latch can be
bought for about four dollars.
Now build brick furnace in the
pit with walls four inches thick)
three feet long, 16 inches wide and
16 inches high, inside measure, one
end fitted to the door frame open
ing. From the opposite end extend
nearly to the farther end of the pit,
gradually reducing the size to eight
inches square inside measure; carry
on curve partly across the end of
the pit and back to the circular open
ing in the wall to which an eight
inch stove pipe is to make connection
with convenient chimney in the
basement.
Build a wall on the exposed sides
from the bottom Of the pit, the top
of the wall to be seven feet above
