powntrodden Husbands.

The middle class woman in England
now generally affects to be superior
to the social position she occupies; she
endeavors to dress, live and act up to
the highest standard she has adopted
as her own. This attitude and it's at
tendant circumstances eventually in
duce the ordinary middle class husband
to regard her as socially superior to
himself. In time, from this cause, he
becomes little better than a footman
to his own wife.-Marmaduke in Lou
don Truth.

THE TIRE: DOCTOR.
His Method of Treating a Trunk That
Is pecaying.

When a tree doctor treats a decayed
tree he begins by cutting an aperture
in the tree large enough to allow him
to get at the inside and remove all the
decayed wood This is essential to the
success of the operation. When this
work has been done the cavity is ready
to be filed. The composition used in
case Of large filings contains five parts
of sand to one part of portland cement,
except for the outer part, where these
ingredients are used half and half, this
outer coating being several inches
thick. To hold the cement in place
while it is hardening a stout tin or
zinc is employed, this being secured to
the trunk of limb in a way to preserve
the natural shape. The tin is put on in
strips, being fastened with round steel
nails having a broad head and a small
shank. The strips are wide enough to
lap over upon the sound wood, and the
nails are placed from half an inch to
an inch apart, according to the strain
imposed.
The first strip Of tin is put on at the
lower part of the aperture and the ce-
ment put in until it reaches nearly to
the top of the tin. Then q second strip
is put on, tapping over the other two
or three inches, and the two nailed to-
gether. Then more cement is used, and
so on until the cavity is filed the last
strip of tin being bent down while the
final application of cement is being
puddled into place and the cavity en-
tireIy filed, and then it is Strengthened
up and nailed in place. In case of
extra large cavities large sheets of tin
or sheet iron are nailed on the outside
to prevent the tin from bullying out
until the cement has hardened, when
they can be removed. The smaller the
cavity the larger are the strips of tin
employed, as the strain is proportion
ately less. In twenty-four hours time
the cement will have hardened com
pletely, and the tin may all be removed.
This remedy is applied successfully
to fruit trees as we'll as shade trees

A LESSON IN NERVE.
The Laundry Didn't Charge For the
Ruined Shirt.

The Laundry Didn't Charge For the
Ruined Shirt.
s'When l came to open my bundle
Of stuff sent home from the laundry
this morning" said the bachelor man,
"I found in it, sent back washed, but
not ironed, one shirt that had pinned
to it a ticket reading like this:
"'We are returning this shirt on &C
count of it not being in a condition
to withstand ironing
'NThis was a new one to me, but
when 1 came to open up the shirt and
looked it over l didn't wonder that
they hadn't tried to iron 1t; one arm
was all but torn from its socket, and
there was hole punched through one
cuff, with tear extending from this
hole for an inch or two up the sleeve.
The shirt was sure not in condition for
ironing, but how did it get so?
''I certainly never sent it to the laun-
dry in that shape. I'd have had hard
work tearing the sleeve out of the
shoulder the way this one was torn,
and / couldn't have made that hole
in the cuff without some sort of
sharp and big punch. Clearly the
shirt had been torn and mangled in
that manner by being caught in the
laundry machinery, and so I wrapped
it up in a neat little bundle and took
it over to the laundry Office, intending
to make a claim for the value of it.
I spread the shirt out on the counter
and called the clerks attention to it
and told him that / couldn't have torn
the shirt in that manner; it must have
been done in the laundry, and how
about it?
"'Well,' said the clerk, we made no
charge for it
"AS the full significance OF this came
upon me-they had torn my shirt all
to pieces, but they didn't make any
charge for it'll staggered back. and
kept on staggering that way until /
had got out Of the door
81 shall never make any further
claim for the shirt. 1 got back far
more than its value in that lesson in
clear, cold nerve."-New York Sun.
