this feature. He has six-year-old,
red-headed son that didn't inherit his

Gently the son was very much in need
of a five-cent piece for soda water
purposes. He went into the dining
rom, where he was free from obser-

and placed them in his hip pocket for
future reference. Returning to the
office he approached his father and
said:
PA, give me nickel to get me

His father glanced down at his
sons shoes, then turning around ap-
preached the office safe and opened
it in silence. He took out the cash
box and raising the lid extracted a
pair of new shoe strings, which he
handed to his son without a word.
The youngster took the strings with
crestfallen air and then to the amuse-

GBy L. C. CORRECTLY

In forming the heads of orchard
trees. they should be much closer to
the ground than those of ornamental
trees. Commercial orchards of ap-
pies and pears are now headed much
lower than formerly, three feet being
very common height for starting the
head. while the heads of peach and
plum trees are started even as low as
Is or 20 inches from the ground.
The reason is that In certain To-
calities where windstorms are fire.
luent, a low-headed tree is less likely
to be broken, and will lose smaller
proportion of fruit, and does not suffer
80 much from sun-scald, as the low
head serves to certain extent as a
shade for the body.
During the early years of both orna-
mental and fruit trees. they should
be pruned vigorously. because they

With pears and apples. the main

ened to at least one foot. and each
of the main body branches should
carry not to exceed three subdivisions
about eight inches long.
The same operation should be re-
peated the third year. but the num-
ber of branches carried by each sub
division should be reduced to two.
The arrangement OF these branches
should be based upon the same prin-
ciple as the arrangement of the main
body of the trees.
One additional precaution is neces-
sary with trees which have an up
right or pyramidal tendency: the ter
minal bud which is intended to form
the leading branch from any primary
branch. should be left on the outside
rather than toward the center of the
tree. By observing this precaution.
the plant will have more tendency

On the other hand. If a tree has a

First OF all caste is a question OF
birth, and there is no entry except by
birth. A worker in a coal mine may
become a part owner thereof, and his
daughter marry n peer. and his grand
son become a peer OF England. No
millions will enable the low caste Hin
du to marry into a Brahman family or
even to touch the hand. or throw his
shadow on the food of a Brahman in
India.
If man is communicated by his
caste fellows in India. no one of the
caste will eat with him, accept water

own wife will not touch him or speak
with him. He is dead to his family

A Brahman clerk has been known
to distribute legal documents by
throwing them down at the end OF

the entire body, causing little or no
