American beauties tied with ribbon

latest novelty.

Luigi Labiache. the singer. was q
giant in size. Zone Of his boots" says
a biographer, would make q good
portmanteau. One Of his gloves would
clothe an infant" There is humor-
GUS exaggeration in the statement. but
the fact remains that he was certainly
an enormous man. It is recorded Of
him that he was very generous and
also lover Of jokes. At one time he
was staying In Paris at the same ho-
tel with Tom Thumb. An English
tourist. who had been making strenu-
Gus efforts to meet the latter. one day
burst into the great basso's apart

hesitated and apologized.

II am he" answered Lablache in his
deepest tones.
The Englishman was taken aback.
He must have been trusting soul.
But" said he. you were very tiny

Last summer among the crowd was
one Camden county man who had
drunk too much Salem county apple
Jack. He made himself obnoxious by
going to the men as they were with
their women folk and shaking his DIST

you. Come out and fight" No one
would fight. because he was evidently
drunk.
Convinced that he had scared them

saying, II can lick any one on the
beach" He repeated this to every
one he met.
Finally an inofensive little family
man standing with group jumped
into him and beat him into submission.

up the Camden man struggled to his
feet and. looking around at the crowd
which had gathered. said deflantiy:

Chiidr9n Cry
FOR FLETCHER'S
CA s TO IA
An Interesting Experiment


Fruit growers are watching with interest
an experiment that is being tried to resus
citate trees that have been affected by the
San Jose scale.
The experiment is being tried in the or
chard of the N. B. Greeley estate on the
Burlington road near Mount Holly.
This farm at one time boosted of a fine
apple orchard that covered nearly three
hundred acres. but the ravage of the scale
completely destroyed it. an experience
that was shared in by scores of other farm
ers In the vicinity, while peach, apple and
pear trees were similarly afflicted.
Workmen engaged in cutting down
scale killed trees In the Greeley orchard
last year discovered that the trunks of the
trees were still alive, although scale in
fected branches were leafess and dry.
The upper dead branches were trimmed
from the trunks, new shoots were grated
to the trunks, and others were allowed to
TO rm their natural shoots. Horticulturists
watching the experiment are delighted
with the results of few months growth,
which find the trees, once apparently dead.
putting forth dozens of new shoots and
thriving rapidly. Strange as it may seem,
the new growth, in the centre of acres of
scale-infested trees, shows no signs of being
affected by the insect.
That the tree itself may form a sort
anti-toxin to resist and poison the scale is
the hope of the scientists vino are eagerly
watching the experiment. If the almost
unbelievable anti-toxin idea is carried out,
scientists say the incubation of scale in
fected trees of all kinds with sap extracted
from trunks and bark of ''resurrected" or
chards will prove as effectual in combating
the orchard plague as the same principle
in hating and preventing infectious dis
eases of the human system.
