ed of Vincennes. Danville. Paris, Char
lesion, NATION and Para, provided the
latter does not become a member OF
the Big Four league. which is now IN
incubation.

The TREE DOCTOR.
His Method of Treating a Trunk That
Is Dccaying.

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 filled. The composition used in
ease 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 ii is hardening a stout tin or
zinc is employed. this being secured to
the trunk of limb in Il way to preserve
the natural shape. The tin is put on III
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 a 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 filled, the last
strip of tin being bent down while the
final application of cement is being
puddIed into place and the cavity en-
tirely filled 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
pletcly. and the tin may all be removed.
This remedy is applied successfully
to fruit trees as well as shade trees

Most of Them Paid,

A large company Of easily gulled in
dividuals was victimiZed a short time
back in an English town. BY means
of posters announcing grand sacred
concert and by n free distribution OF
complimentary tickets bearing on their
face this condition, NO gentleman ad
mitted unless accompanied by lady
a large audience was gathered at the
theater When the crowd began &c
press in, the ticket taker began shout
ing:
"All having complimentary tickets
will please pass upstairs to the gal,
lery."
This was a dark. dreary. hot place,
not having the capacity for seating
comfortably more than 100 people.
Those WHO pressed forward with their
tickets We're told that if they did not
wish to GO to the gallery they could
be admitted by paying shilling
apiece Every man who appeared with
complimentary ticket of course had
q lady with him and felt sort of en-
bar-assment if she were not his wife
or intimate acquaintance, so he yielded
TO compulsion and paid rather than re-
tire, and so the scheme succeeded TO
the extent of filling the house.-London

THE FLYING FOX.
Curious lnhabitant of the Forests In
Eastern Australia.

The flying fox is q very curious in
habitant of the forest near Moret on
bay, in east Australia. 1t lives in
foclzs and moves generally toward the
dusk of the evening, and the noise Pre-
duced by the heavy tapping of the sc
called wings is very singular. The
focks like quiet places. where there
are large araucarian pine trees, with
an underwood of scrub and creepers
The foxes hang in vast numbers froIa
horizontal branches of the pine trees.
When there is n clear space among
the trees an enormous number OF the
animals may be seen, and their noise
tan be heard. for directly they see any
thing unusual they utter short bark,
something like the sound made by
young rocks. Often every branch is
crowded, and the young foxes are seen
either Tapping their wings and holding
on with their hind feet and with their
heads downward or snarling and fight
Ing for places.
Suddenly the whole take to flight and
dap their furry, winglike sides and
wheel around like heavy birds. Many
6y with their young holding on to
them.
The creature is not 4 true fox, and
there is a fold of skin which reaches
from the fore TO the hind legs. This is
called the wing, and it enables the
pteropus. as the animal is called, to
float and turn in the air.

Explicit Instructions.

Two New York girls recently We're
ordered by their mother to join her in
mining camp about days journey
from the City of Mexico. The girls
We're to travel to Vera Cruz by steamer
and then by rail to the capital, where
their father was to meet them. As
they never had been in that country
before they wrote to their mother ask
ing what sort of clothes they should
bring with them. BY return mail they
received a breathless sort of an epistle
telling them to be sure and start from
New York by a certain date. but as to
the clothes question, the only reply
was, BE sure and have your riding
habits of the sort of brown that will

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

Every good farmer has three or four
Jobs laid up for Il rainy day.
TIE man who is old enough to
know better Is usually old enough to
die.
People talk about different tenn
peraments.' when they really mean
different tempers.
Some men are so mean they like to
take their wives advice so they can
tell them later how worthless Il was.
There is this important difference
between n friend ard kin: Every time
you see the friend you don't have to
explain something.
How ''set" old people are in their
ways. If an elderly person should be
asked to change his seat at the table,
how it would rattle him!
People are not devoted to your inter-
ests. You must have noticed it. There
fore you should give your interests a
lot of intelligent attention. For if you
don't do it no one will.-Atchison

tiE QUOTED ST. PAUL.
A Bishops BIunder and the Clever Way
IL Was Corrected.


A certain bishop of one of the middle
states is described as a man who pos
sessed great learning, but had not the
saving sense Of humor. In ''Reminis-
cences of Bishops and Archbishops"
Bishop Potter gives an instance of the
absence OF this quality.
1t happened on one occasion that an
episcopal election had come up for re-
view in the house Of bishops, and ques-
tons as to the bishop elect were being
asked and answered with considerable
freedom. a bishop who knew the bish-
op elect in very intimate way was on
his feet and was being catechised.
when a bishop called out, what kind
OF wife has our brother electT
"IIis present wife, began the blsh-
CD thus challenged, when the middle
state delegate sprang to his feet.
zone momentn' he cried. do I I'M
derstand my brother Alright? Did ne
say his present wife, and am / to I'M
derstand that by that phrase he means
to imply that the brother elect has had
a previous wife? Because, if SO, / cam
not vote IOF 81 4 dui
says, a bishop must be the husband OF
one wife,"
For a moment the house, in which
were a number Of bishops who, having
been bereaved Of their earthly part
ners. had supplied their places, sat still
in stunned silence, until nrelate,
whose sense Of humor was as keen as
the last speakers was feeble, rose in
his place and said. do | understand
that the bishop regards the language
OF the apostle which he has just quoted
as mandatory
Certainly" exclaimed the man who
had objected.
VERY wei, then, Mr.. Chairman"
said the interrOgating bishop blandly,
eff the bishop regards the language of
ST Paul, when he says that a bishop
must be the husband of one wife, as
mandatory, / should like to ask him
what he proposes to do with the bishop
of''-naming a bachelor bishop-"who
hasn't any,
There was n shout of laughter. amid
which the bishop who had objected
took his seat, flushed and angry. The
humor of his blunder was wholly I'M
perceived by him.
