Women and Medicines

In very early times women made up
medicines In the conventual infrmaries.
The Abbess Hildega ride, who founded a
school for nurses ut Rupertsburg, near
Bingen-on-the-R Rhine, in the twelfth CEN
fury, made a special study of the art of
healing, and instructed her nuns In the
use of medicinal plants, the compound
ing Of simples, and the dispensing OF
medicines. IIildegarde left behind her
the Jardin de Sante, materia medica
of the tine, in which are described the
principles accepted in the middle ages
concerning the properties of plants and
minerals as related TO disease. The

The rapid denuding of our forests

ments, renders the planting OF forest
trees of great Importance. There are
few farms, especially on prairies, that
have not several small pieces of land
that are not easy of cultivation, which
a little time and work will fit for the
planting of trees, which should be set
IN rows about 4 feet apart, and cult
gated as corn. Seeding trees can be
purchased from the larger nurseries at
from So to s. per thousand, which is
cheaper than tie labor required to dig
them in the timber lands if they could
be gotten for nothing. 1t is a good
plan TO cut off the entire top of the
young tree when setting out. This will
give good, strong, straight growth for

RAMBLE IN CHARMING CADIz.
Quaint Streets and Houses of the

Quaint Streets and Houses of the
AristOcrntic Old Town of Spain.
A walk through the streets of Cadi1
keeps one craning ones neck, says the
San francisco Chronicle The houses
are not very high-four or FIVE stories
but the streets are extremely narrow,
and 1t Is necessary to look straight up
In order TO see the house fronts. The
lower story is generally painted a dark
color-brown, red or dull gray-while
the upper stories are tinted white or
pale shades of pink, yellow, blue or
green. A very striking style Of con-
struction, one that is decidedly pleasing
to the eye, is the good use made OF
glazed tiles. One house in particular
caught our fancy. The lower story was
painted a deep, dull red The upper
stories were faced with pale yellow
tiles, the woodwork around all windows
being white. Balconies and bay win
dows jut from every floor of every
house. The streets look like narrow
| canyons running through perpendicular
walls of balconies and bay windows.
In many cases bay windows are built
out into the balconies, while in others
bay windows that reach the entire
height of a story are closely barred all
the way up. Along many streets these
balconies afford very pretty sight, for
! plant-loving residents have turned them
| into diminutive gardens and frequent
glimpses of red geraniums, purple bou-
| gainvilliers, roses of every color and
green vines supply most pleasing
| touch of color.
Along the principal shopping street,
Dubuque re Tetuan, are some handsome
buildings, most of which are residences
OF Spanish aristocrats. In most cases
the ground floor has been transformed
into shops, but in one Instance the en-
tire house has been turned into Span
ish hotel. We went into this hotel,
| formerly the residence of q marquis,
but which has been greatly altered and
! spoiled by its transformation A Curl
Gus fact was that every bedroom we
saw opened into patio" or court
yard, the only air end light for the
rooms coming from the court.
The better class of residences in
Cadiz are distinguishable by the mar
row square towers that rise to consid-
: cradle height above the fat roofs. These
towers are crowned by tiny glass
houses, where members of the family
can enjoy sun bath and at the same
time an unObstructed view OF the city.
On a sunny day this view is a bright
one. for Cadiz is n very pretty sight,
and fully lives up to its name of The
/ Pearl OF Andalusla."

DEAF-EUTE PUPILS SUCCEED.

Less Than Per Cent Fail TO Make
Their Way After Leaving school.
A feature of the eighty-ninth annual
report of the New York Institution for
the Deaf and Dumb, which has just
been submitted. is description of the
work of the trades school. 1t is re-
corded that since the school was es-
tablished less than per cent of the
graduates have failed to make their
way in the world, says the New York
Sun.
The trades taught include carpentry,
cabinetmaking, cooking, dressmaking,
gardening. house and sign painting,
printing and tailoring. The pupils are
SO well trained that the demand for
them when they leave the school ex-
ceeds the supply.
The work of the class In printing Is
an example Of what the trade pupils
accomplish. The class last year num-
bered forty-one and they not only did
all the work of getting out the annual
report of $50 pages. but printed all the
institutions stationery and published a
weekly four-page seven-column news
paper. This work would have ccs the
institution $2,236.25 outside.
The sixty-three pupils in the classes
of carpentry and cabinetmaking made
all the desks, tables and other pieces
of furniture In use In the institution,
their completed work for the year be
ing valued at S4,159.45. Nine pupils
in the classes in house painting and
glazing did all the work in the build
ing, the money value being $i,690.45.
Sixty of the older girls accomplished
the following work during the year

Cooking was taught to both boys and
girls and the forty-fve girls and
twenty-four boys who took the course
are able to do plain cooking for the
family needs and to handle both coal
and gas ranges. There were only four
pupils in the art class, while. only one
boy cared to study gardening, and only
one wanted to be tailor.

The Apple Orchard.

Select high, well-drained site, pro
tected if possible from the strong pre-
vailing winds, and prepare the land
deeply and thoroughly.
When transplanting, cut back ali
torn or injured roots to fresh, sound
wood; avoid exposure of the roots TO
the sun or drying winds, dig the holes
large enough to admit the roots with
out cramping; cover with moist mel
lou surface soil and tramp firmly.
Set the trees far enough apart to
allow for full development. This will
depend largely upon the locality and
soil. Observe the distance required
for full grown apple trees in your
neighborhood.
Form the head of. the tree at what
ever height you think best. In north
ern sections where trees are liable to
sunscald, low heads with trunks not
over ten feet high are best. Prune
the lower branches up to the desired
height, and leave three or four main
branches to form a well-balanced top.
Prune regularly every spring. thin
ming out as much of the new wood as
may be necessary TO prevent the top
becoming too dense. Careful annual
pruning avoids the necessity of cur
ting out large limbs when the tree
get older
Do not allow adjoining crops to en-
croach upon the trees To insure good
growth. it is best to give clean. thor
ough cultivation from early spring till
about midsummer, after which the
trees should mature their wood for
winter.
A cover crop of some kind, such as
rape clover and hairy vetch, sown
after the last cultivation in midsum-
mer, is valuable for root protection in
winter, and to enrich the soil when 1T
is plowed under next spring.
The fertility of the soil about the
trees may be most economically main
tanned by the judicious use of the le-
guminous clover crops ard occasional
applications of unleached wood ashes
spread evenly over the ground as far
out as the roots extend.
Guard against girdling of mice by
banking earth against the trunks in
the fall, wrapping the trunks with
building paper or tramping the snow
firmly around the trunks from time to
time after the first heavy snowfall
Watch out for borers on the trunks
near the ground every summer. and
dig them out as soon as they are found
to be at work.
Protect the trees against the raw
ages of insects on the foliage by spray
ing, or by removing the insects by
hand until the trees get TOO large for
such a method-Ontario Bulletin.
