Chicago,s Marvellous Growth.

The death a few days ago of Alex
ander Beaubien. the first white male
child born in Chicago, tells a wonder
full tale of urban rise and expansion.
"Old Alec" as he was Familiarity call
ed, was IS years of age. Eighty-five
years is fairly old for man, but it is
young for a city of over 100000 in
habitants. When this man first saw
the light, in 1922, Chicago had neither
a local habitation nor a name.
When the national census takers
first took notice of Chicago, in 1910,
it had only 4.40O inhabitants. st.
Louis, Cincinnati. New Orleans and
many other towns in the west and
south, and still more in the east, were
have better chance of growth in the
future. Today it is the second city on
the American continent in population
and wealth. and the fifth in the world.
Only London, New York, Paris and
Berlin lead it in inhabitants. And,
twenty or thirty years hence, when
New York takes the first place among
the worlds cities. by beating London,
Chicago is likely to be also ahead of
the British metropolis. There are
more people, and far more wealth, in
Chicago in 1907 than there were in
the thirteen American colonies when,
at Concord Bridge, the "embattled
farmers" fired the shot heard round
the world" And all of this growth,
from a wilderness military post of a
dozen people to more than 100000,
vas spanned by the lifetime of one
man.-EeSlie,S Weekly.

Pruning Trees.

If pruning was not done early in the
season, attend to it at once. Do not
allow your trees to waste a large
amount of their energy on the develop
ment of unnecessary branches. Throw
their vitality into those which are to
remain. But do not go at the work of
pruning until you have looked the
tree over from all sides and satisfied
yourself exactly what needs doing.
Never prune on the haphazard sys-
tenn, or from "a sense of duty Prune
for results that stand for improvement.
Aim to preserve a proper balance of
head without producing a stiff, formal
effect. Cut out weak wood, wherever
found, even if it does somewhat dis
turb symmetrical outlines. The de-
velopment of healthy branches will
enable you to correct this fault later.
Thin out the branches, where too
thick, to allow free circulation of
air. 1t is a most excellent plan to
cover every cut that is made with
thick coat of paint. This prevents I'M
necessary loss of sap, excludes rain,
keeps away insects. and assists the
wound to heal rapidly.-The Outing
Magazine.
