PRUNE THE TREES.

Show the boys how to prune. Take
them out into the orchard and go
over the apple, pear, plum and cherry
trees, and explain why you do things.
If your trees were properly trimmed
when they were set out they can be
kept in shape without much prun-
ing. But go over the trees every
spring, using sharp knife and
pruning shears. Make clean, neat
cuts, and if large limbs are removed
use saw. Cut out crossed limbs.
thin out the top, but don't cut off too
many lower limbs. Keep the head as
low as possible. A beginner must
prune with a great deal of care. The
aim should be to keep the trees
shapely and keep the fruit as near
the ground as possible. indiana

How the Strawberry Was Named.

Many persons have wondered how
strawberries got their name. They
have been so called by Anglo-Saxon
people for hundreds of years, but no
corresponding name for them appears
In other languages. On the contrary,
their fragrance mainly is set forth in
the names by which they are called
in non-English speaking lands. The
old Anglo-SaNon form was "streaw-
berige.' 1t seems probable that the
straw is the long stem of the vine,
which runs along the ground Some
have thought, however that in ancient
times the Anglo-Saxon berry hunters
brought the berries home or sent
them to market upon straws. The
explanation that the word is a cor
ruption Of strawberry" due TO the
running habit of strawberry vines, is
believed to be erroneous.

Queens Taller Than KInos.

1t is n curious fact that at this
time nearly all the sovereigns OF
Europe are shorter than their con-
sorts. For example, King Edward is
an inch shorter than Queen Alexan-
dra. Car Nicholas III. looks quite
small by the side of the Czarina;
the Kaiser is just a trife shorter
than the German Empress, and, for
that reason always insists that she
shall sit down when they are photo
graphed together; the King of Italy
hardly reaches to the shoulder of
Queen Helena; Queen Amelia of Por-
tugal is shade taller than Don Car
los. and Alfonso of Spain is half a
head shorter than Queen Victoria
Eugene. In fact, the King of Nor
way and the Prince of Montenegro
are the only two rulers who are very
much taller than their wives.
