enough to admit two oak planks, each
one being II inches wide and inches

The first illustration shows the work
advanced to that stage when the tun,
mel is ready for the planks. AS soon
as these planks are placed in position
and packed up firmly to the ball, the
soil is dug out all round the latter to
the depth of the lowest roots, sever
ing strong roots and being careful
to preserve fibrous ones from in

by accurate measurements to ensure

Bio Glaciers.


The big glaciers are among the fea-
lures which make Switzerland ia
nous and attractive TO tourists. Visit
ing and inspecting these vast accumu.
lations Of ice are invariably on the
program of tho more hardy men and
women who geek diversion in that
picturesque country, and along with
mountain climbing give ample oppor-
tunlfy for adventure and for testing
endurance and skill. Recently fears
have been expressed that the glaciers
would disappear in time, since, as was
alleged. they gave strong evidence of
melting away. But the scientists
have been investigating carefully and
the result is comforting assurance
that the glaciers are all right, and
likely TO stay Indefinitely. The ap-
parent changes are explained by the
fact, as alleged, that glacier action is
variable, being subject to periodical
changes which cause the icy masses
20 expand and contract at intervals
The glaciers, say these learned men,
may be so extended for space Of 90
years or so as to cover ground from
which there had been recession, and
then in turn may show plainly per
ceptible shrinkage. There is not like
ly to be much variation on the aver.

ages TO come. The same principle.

High Enjoyment.

One OF the highest and best eajoy.
ments comes through what is done for
others. This is believed in theoreti
cally, but seldom practically. II a man
has money, he imagines that the way
TO enjoy it is either to keep and accu
mulate II or to spend It on personal
qualification; yet he misses the very
finest of its delights when he refuses
to share II or its benefits with others.
So with our time, our talents and our
tboughts-kept to ourselves, or used
simply for our own delectation, they
do not give us 1.-THE of the real en-.
1oyment that they afford when we use
them literally for the benefit Of the
family, or friends, or the community.

Slow Mental Rlpeninq.

Not infrequently those mentalities

considerably larger increase than that

being 81 cents per ton of manure for
the yard manure and 35 cents for the

used instead of gypsum the total gain
over the untreated manure has been
larger than for the gypsum, but the
greater cost of the kainit has reduced
the net gain to GA cents per ton for
the yard manure and &C cents for the
stall manure. Kainit is q crude salt,
mined in Germany, and is a mixture
of the chlorides of potassium and

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, It is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric Is
hidden behind paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

The question often arises as to what
is the limit in size and age at which
tree lay be transplanted. The an
swer is that these items depend en-
tirely on local conditions. Should a
tree only have to be moved to a short
distance a very large specimen could
be satisfactorily transplanted. Ex-
cept for special reasons, however, 1t
is not advisable to attempt an unrea-
sonably large tree. AS a guide, any
deciduous tree may be attempted up
to 40 feet in height, with trunk diam
eter of IL or Is inches. Coniferous
trees such as pines and cedars are not
so easily transplanted; as a rule, their
roots do not ramify so well and there
is a difficulty in keeping the ball of
soil from breaking

ger Of the light sand trickling away
from the roots during transit. Heavy
clay, again, although It binds to-
gether well. cannot be said to be the
best material for the purpose, as the
necessary ground work is much more
difficult. When a tree growing in very
sandy soil must be transplanted; II is
advisable to dig trench round the
stem, leaving ball OF soil rather
less in diameter than II is proposed
to move eventually, and after filling
the trench with good soil leave il for
- months; this Will encourage
greater amount OF root fibers. The
same thing may be done with trees
that form large roots; by cutting
trench and neatly severing all large
roots, then filling up with new soil
and leaving for l2 months, small
ibrous roots are encouraged, and the
tree may be transplanted with greater
hopes Of success.
For trees that are to be transplant.

trations, the ball of soil surrounding

depth. After the size Of the ball has

the life to come. Refuse to live &C
cording to the law of right and plunge
yourself into continuous life of sin.

We are sometimes told that there

every man who is living life of SIN

Relative to the petition for the

the Islander ventures to suggest that
many more signatures would proba-
bly, be obtained if game birds we're
not included. 1t is very doubtful if
the farmers on this island are SO par
tial to Chinese pheasants as to petit
ton the legislature to prohibit the
shooting of them for five years. The
need of better protection for deer is
generally recognized but many are
opposed to prohibiting property own
ers from killing deer or other game
upon their own premises. The Ques-
