A Great Annual Waste From Cutting
Down Fruit Trees.

4 Great Annual Waste From Cutting
Down Fruit Trees.
There is great annual waste
throughout the country from the cut
ting down Of fruit trees, according to
Iowa Homestead. Trees that from
some cause have convinced their own
er that they are useless cumberers Of
the soil are cut down without hesita-
tion, though sometimes with regret for
the time and money wasted.
Pause and Reflect.
II may be that the tree has proved
untrue to name and produces worthless
or at least inferior fruit. It may be
some new kind that was expected to
sllrpass the old kinds and, as often
happens, proved inferior to them, 1t
may be that 1t has stood for number
Of years without bearing, and Its own
er believes 1t barren. 1t may be that
the scale has infested it, that some Of
its limbs have died and that it IL
thought to be doomed. No matter
which one OF these reasons may be in
fiuencing you to apply the az. Task you
to stop and reflect before you make
your action irremediable.
Every Tree Has Value.
Every tree has a value. If the fruit
be utterly worthless the tree neyerthe-
less represents an expenditure of time
and money. Ifit was bought of nurs-
cry there il the first cost OF it. Next,
there is the labor OF setting IT, then the
cost Of cultivating and pruning and
caring for it, and, lastly, there is the
use of the ground 1t has occupied for
maybe dozen yenrs.
All these elements OF cost should be
considered. They win usually amount
to at least $40 and often $50. Pause.
then, before you destroy your own and
natures work forever and ask yourself
II there Is not some way to avoid such
an extreme measure. There Is often
way to redeem such trees, and that
is by grating upon them the scions OF
some other tree. Grating Is not very
difficult, and even II you have never
attempted II, you should not be afraid
to try. 1t Is now too late for this opera
ton, as the scion should be cut before
the buds swell In the spring.
Budding In Summer.
Budding In late summer may be sub
stituted for grating, It Is. however
truly remarkable how soon a grated
tree win form a new top and bear new
fruit. RI it has happened that the tree
has been condemned for not bearing.
II is almost certain that its barrenness
has been accustomed by too rapid q
growth In too rich q soil II this appears
10 be the case, then there is a remedy
in girdllng the trunk. Along in May
when the tree Is growing rapidly tear
of strips Of bark a foot or SO long all
around the tree, leaving only about a
third OF 1t undsturbed in alternate see
tions. This viii usually check the
growth and throw the tree into fruitnge
the next year.

THE FIRST sULpHER MATCHES
They Were Considered a daring And
Dangerous Innovation


In these days Of rapid progress It
does not take long to make an appli-
ance oldfashioned and out Of date. Not
more than seventy years agosthe match
was considered an innovation Of a dar-
ing and dangerous type. The conser.
yative still seraped away with his
steel and flint, holding the sulphur
dipped stick in fear and trembling.
One Robert Gibbs tells the story of
the first match he ever saw. a school.
fellow who had visited London brought
back with him, besides his stories Of
that wonderful town, a box of the new
III invented matches He exhibited
them to his wondering mates and, "a
as a great favor presented one to Gibbs.
The boy took his prize home, struck
II in the ehimneypieee and gleefully
watched the surprise Of his mother.
'Now You may throw away the
finder box" he said
mo such n thing responded the
prudented woman. Matches which
light themselves will find no place here.
Why, some night we might be burned
in our bedsl give me the finder box
A Salem, Mass newspaper Of june,
1896, speaks approvingly Of one Of the
Inhabitants Of is town.
Notwithstanding Me convenience OF
those dangerous little articles which are
in almost everbodys hands, but which,
with all their charms, bid fair to prove
heavy curse on the community, we
learn there is one man in Salem, a re-
spectacle tradesman, who keeps store
where we should generally expect TO
fird such Things, but who has never
sold them or allowed them to be used
on his premises. He stick to the flint,
steel and tinderi be shows his wisdom
IN 80 doing. How many more can say
Is muchg From Youths Companion.

Old Aae Pensions In Great Britain.

II Is only question Of time until the
government Of Great Britain adopts a
system Of old age pensions Labor Is
united in its demands for such n scheme,
and it has the support Of many other
influential interests which believe that
something should be done to give the
aged poor assurance that their last days
shall not be spent in the darkness Of
absolute distress.

To Remove Lines.

The takers wrinkles commence in
and near the lower cheek and run
down under the chin from side to
side. The straight up-and-down lines
furrowed in the brow denote sternness
and sharpness. Diagonal lines, criss,
crossed in the middle of the brow,
mean small frets and worries. The
remedy for wrinkles is found in
cheerful disposition a watchfulness
over ones own face that it doesn't
crinkle into plaitings and in gentle
massage with good skin food. It is
the manipulation of the skin as much
as the cosmetic itself that banishes
the lines. Expert facial specialists
who massage the face and use cleo.
tricity do much toward plotting out
lines. The whole process is rejuve-
mating and stimulating. Outdoor ex-
ercise, .restful, refreshing sleep and
nutritious food are essential in the
treatment of wrinkles.
