Apple Trees Are Long Livers
BY E. p. POWELL.

How old can an apple tree grow?
I have few OF the trees planted by
Sconondoah, the Oneida chief, with
Dominic Kirkland, the missionary, in
1871. These trees, now considerably
over 100 years of age, still bear an
abundance of fruit The wood is in
good condition, Notwithstanding many
years OF neglect The average age of
an orchard, as generally planted and
cared for, rarely exceeds fifty years.
/ am inclined to think that the more
sturdy sorts can be made to exceed
$50 years. In order to attain any
such age there must be selection of
varieties, and they must be grated
high up on tough stock. Our fathers
apple trees were grated in the tops;
but the apples planted in these days
are grated in the roots. However,
one must not cling too long to an old
tree. love any fine old tree, espe-
'cially an apple tree, but when beyond
usefulness 1t is sin to let it cumber
the ground Jesus laid down great
horticultural law when He cursed the
barren fig tree a. e.. condemned it to
being cut DOWN. There is no room
for second-rate stuff in the orchard -

SCISSORS IN THE KITCHEN.
"A Labor Saver in Preparing yegeta-
bles in Making Salads.

If you want to see a pair of scis-
sors put to all sorts of queer uses
just watch some young housekeeper
getting vegetables ready for dinner
or preparing salad 1t is declared
! that in nine cases out of every ten
things can be cut better with the scis-
sors than with knife.
Especially in the preparing of sal
ads should the kitchen scissors ap.
peal to the housekeeper looking for
labor saving schemes. Dicing ap.
pies and celery is matter of only
moment when done in this way, and
few green peppers may be shipped
up in less time than it takes to tell
about 1T.
The easiest way to dice green pep
pers is to cut off several long slivers
the whole length of the pepper. Hold
these firmly in one hand and with
the scissors slip through the entire
bunch. Several stalks of asparagus
may be clipped through in the same
way,
For following out tomato pre-
vious to stuffing, a pair Of scissors
enables one to remove practically all
the pulp without breaking through
the skin. For fruit salads scissors
are equally useful, as the fine skin
which separates the sections of grape
fruit and oranges is easily clipped off
in this way
But fruit and vegetable salads are
not the only kinds for which the kit
chen scissors may be brought into
use. Cold boiled chicken and lobster
are easily cut into pieces, and, sur
prising as it may seem to those who
haven't tried it, chicken joints and
lobster shells are no obstacles when
scissors are used.
The hard parts of oysters and clans
are neatly removed with a pair of
scissors, and slices of cold tongue and
ham are often improved in appear
ance if, before sending to table, they
are trimmed into shape in the same
way.
When 1t comes to preparing cold
vegetables for relocating in crears
sauce, or for the many popular dishes
au gratin, the kitchen scissors are
Iagain a blessing. Cold boiled pota-
toes, cauliflower, asparagus, oyster
plant in fact any and every vegetable
may easily be shipped into pieces of
the required size. Doing such work
With pair of scissors is not only
much quicker and easier, but the saw
ing of ones hands is important. No
woman will believe until she tries for
herself how great labor saver a
pair of scissors may prove in her kit
chen. New York Sun.

Boy Rescues Brother.

Paul Pomroy, ten years old, saved
his brother, Carl, eight years, from
drowning in the Delaware River, at
Trenton, while large crowd of per-
sons, not one of whom offered to go
to the assistance of the struggling
boys, stood at the waters edge look
ing on. Little Carl was playing on
the river bank when he slipped and
fell into the water, which is ten feet
deep at that point. His cries attract
ed crowd, but the swift current car
ried the lad from the bank and de-
tered any one from trying rescue
Several women in the crowd pleaded
in vain to the men to save the drown
ing lad, but they did not dare to try
their strength. AS Carts cries were
becoming fainter, his brother Paul,
who had been attracted by the crowd,
ran up to find out the cause of the
excitement. carl is in the river!"
cried. one of the men. Without an
instant's hesitation Paul plunged in
and brought his exhausted brother to
the shore

Observation-Disclosures,
ONE THOUGHTLESS BRAIN
IN EVERY HEAD.
Soeee ooeo eoo0s

Man has pair of brains, just as
he has pair of eyes and a pair of
ears, declares DR.. William Hanna
Thomson, only one of our two brains
is used to think with. He con-
tinues:
when we come into this world
we have pair of quite thoughtless
brains and nothing more. To be-
come intelligent beings, we must ac-
ties and endowments, not one of
which does human being bring
with him at birth. No one was ever
born speaking English nor any other
language. No newly born babe
knows anything by sight nor by any
other sense. Every kind of knowl-
edge has to be gained by personal
education. But only recently have
we found that this education necessi-
tates the creation of local anatomi-
cal change in brain matter to make
it the special seat for that accom-
come skilled violin player until by
long fashionlng he mas at last maze
violin-playing place in his cere-
Drum.
But all this brain fashioning
takes so much time and trouble that
for mere economy of labor, as one
hemisphere will do all that is neces-
sary, the individual spends his efforts
on one of them only. AS both hem
ispheres are equally good for this
purpose, which of the two he will
educate depends on which one he
begins with. This is settled for him
by the hand that he then most easily
uses. Hence it is that all the speech
centres and all the knowing and
educated places are to be found only
in the left hemisphere of the right
handed, and in the right hemisphere
of the left-handed.

The Ivory Market IN London.


length of the hollow is thereby re-
vealed and in addition cracks and
flaws that cannot be observed on the
exterior are at times disclosed.
Soundness is the one thing that
sways every class Of buyer; flaws
mean waste; waste means resale at
lower figure per pound
The increasing scarcity, combined
with the increased demand for ar
ticles manufactured or adorned with
ivory, has had the inevitable effect
Of increasing the price of the raw
material To take billiard ball ivory,
for instance. In 1870 the price was
$3.50 per cwt., whereas in 1905 the
same class of ivory was sold for
$685.. In bulk ivory averages about
$4,000 per ton. Each lot is care
fully weighed and the exact weight
marked upon &C. Extra large tusks
are exceptional, for in the majority
of instances in which tusk grows
to an exceptionally large size, the
other belonging to the same animal
is found to be deformed or to have
been injured or broken off, thus en-
couraging an abnormal growth.
The record single tusk. sold some
years ago, turned the scale at the
enormous weight of 204 pounds.
The idea that innumerable elephants
are shot to supply the market with
ivory is incorrect, as the majority is
what is known as dead ivory; that
is, tusks of animals that have died
from natural causes in the bush,
many Of them perhaps centuries ago.
Climatic and other influences cause
the color of the ivory to vary from
pure white to dark brown. The lat
ter, however, is only a surface dis
scraping. Climate, however, affects
the substance to a very great de-
gree, rendering some hard and brit
tie, and in other cases increasing the
liability to crack and split. Some
of the ivory that arrives from the
northern part of central Africa is ex-
posed to the sun throughout it's long
journey on camels across the desert,
and has to be bound up in rawhide
to protect it and prevent it from
splitting. Trihing as defect in the
surface may appear to the uninitiat-
ed, it may reveal to the expert the
presence of disease within, or may
enormously reduce the value of the
tusk by rendering it unsuitable for
some particular class iof work. The

Mrs. Emma Nutter. who went to
Atlantic City four years ago as a
travelling evangelist and founded a
small church in the poorer district of
Arctic avenue, has been admitted to
the Methodist Episcopal Conference
as an ordained minister She is the
first woman honored with a minis

copal Church OF New Jersey. The
church founded by Mrs Nutter was
started by tho poorest classes. They
were unable To pay minister sal

gregation, and the church is now in
q fourishing condition. Two years

Blouse or shirt Waist.

There is no waist quite SO useful as
the simple tailored one, and this model
would be charming made from linen
or soft finished pique, from the pom
gee that is so seryiceable and so
fashionable, from the thinner madras
and also from silk or from washable
flannel. 1t makes a most satisfactory
model whatever the material may be-
and it suits both the separate waist
and the gown. The tucks that are
stitched for their entire length give
tapering effect and the wide box
pleat allows successful use of the or
namental buttons that make such a
feature of the late season. In this
case white linen is trimmed with big
pearl buttons and worn with collar

One of the sights of London is the
great ivory floor at the London docks,
where, previous to and during the
periodical sales, ivory may be seen
literally by the acre, for the tusks
are laid out in lots on the floor of
one Of the great warehouses for in
spection by intending purchasers.
For weeks previous to the actual
sale the special staff of the ivory
department have been busy prepar-
ing the various consignments and
arranging them according to the size
and quality and CHASING them into
the various grades, each OF which
has some particular use for which it
is especially adapted.
There is practically no waste in
the manufacturing Of articles from
ivory. The smallest chip is not
thrown away, but carefully preserved
to be utilized for some purpose. Even
the shavings from the turning down
of billiard ball have a marked
value for use in inlaid work. Con-
sequently the lots in an ivory sale
by no means consist of tusks and sec
tions of tusks alone, but include the
residue from many previous sales.
Buyers purchase the particular class
that they require for their own in
dividual industry and subsequently
return what in most other material
would be waste to be resold to manu-
facturers of different class of
goods.
Though there is sno waste" oddly
enough the most important consid-
Grafton from buyers point of view
is how much waste" will certain
lot produce in the course of trans
forming it into its own particular
line? Thus, lot that would be
dear to one would be a gift to an
other, and vice versa. The most
valuable class Of ivory is that suit
able for making billiard balls. To
conform to the requirements the
tusk must be perfectly sound and
solid, without the slightest suspicion
of crack or flaw, and, moreover, they
must measure only trifle more than
the regulation size billiard ball or
they will cut to waste, from the
manufacturers point of view. On
the arrival of a consignment OF I'M
worked elephant ivory from abroad
the first preparation for the sale
floor consists of a thorough cleaning
of the interior or hollow part of the
tusk. This is done by means of wads
attached to long sticks. The exact

Kills Man For a Squirrel.

In the shooting down of an old
man whom hunter mistook for a
squirrel another killing was added
to the long list of those due to care
lessness. The man killed was
Charles Miller, seventy years old. a
farmer living in Old Tappan Bor-
ough The hunter gave his name as
Roll Hacienda. He was arrested by
order of Coroner Kelly and locked
up in the Hackensack jail. Miller
was walking down the road from his
farm, and Hacienda did not see him.
Just as Miller passed a hedge SPUR
rel came from behind it. Hacienda
raised his shotgun and fired. The
charge struck the old farmer in the
chest and killed him instantly.

SHOOTING ON HIMALAYAs.
Game Birds of India-Their Habits
and Peculiarities.

The common pheasant of the Mus
soorie district and also of Kumaon is
the white crested kali, says writer
for Field. My experience of the Him,
alayan pheasants points to their be-
ing birds of unsporting, skulking
habits. When flushed by dogs they
frequently perch in trees, and when
sitting thus l have occasionally shot
them with rock rife after they had
been freed by my spaniel. Very close
and strict beating is necessary in or.
, der to send the birds over the guns;
even then they seldom make long
flights, diving back again into covert
on the first opportunity.
OF course, the heavy and extensive
jungle of the Indian hillsides is large
ly responsible for the disappointing
nature of the shooting. Even the
English pheasant has, in the thick
and continuous bush of New zea-
land, become a bird of low sporting
value, preferring, like the Indian
kalij, to run rather than fly. No
doubt, If the kali could be estab
lished in country of small detached
woods; such as the Neilgherry pla-
teau, where the heaters could compel
them to face the open, they would
give nearly as fine sport as the Eu-
ropean pheasant.
A peculiar and difficult shot, which
the Indian pheasant shooter is often
called on to take, is when a kali
dives perpendicularly from the top to
the bottom Of steep sided ravine.
One must hold then well below, as
though the bird were falling stone.
: BY far the best time for shooting
is in the winter, when the covert has
thinned. When the season first opens,
Just after the monsoon is over, all
vegetation is at its 'rankest, and it is
then especially hard to turn the
pheasants out of their Businesses.
At high elevations in the Hima-
iayas the sportsman constantly meets
with the great snow cock These
birds are not pheasants, but gigantic
mountain cartridges, and are found
In pairs near the snow, from $4,000
feet upwards. They are heavily
built, sober colored birds, and the
plumage of both sexes is alike-grey
above, penciled with black, and with
chestnut borders to the wings; the
tail, which is square ended like that
Of grouse, is reddish gray and chest
nut marked with black.
