had doubtless informed her that he

ment a bellboy came to inform him
he was wanted to prescribe for new
patient.
By the time he was at liberty, 1t
was the dinner hour. When Miss
Grayson came into the dining-room,
she gave him an odd look, and rath-
er distant bow. Again she finished
her meal before he had left the room.
As he came out he gladly welcomed
his uncle who had returned.
Well, Fred, how did you make itg
Fine! Uncle, don't you want me to

Together they approached the two

Then, as the notes Of a waltz foated

BLUEJAY LIVES IN WOODS
Hawks, Owls and Other Birds Are
leased and Tormented by
These Noisy Birds.

The bluejay likes best to live in
thick woods, but it often comes into
open fields, orchards and near dwell
lngs in search OF food. When it dis
covers you it assumes a proud and
angry air Of conceit and defiance.
The bluejay's upper parts are pur.
plish-blue. The lower parts are pur-
plish-gray. The wings and tail are
bright blue with tIack bars. The tail
feathers are tipped with white. 1t
has a crested head.
The bluejay builds its nest about
twenty feet above ground. 1t is made
Of twigs and fine roots. From four to
six eggs are laid. They are Of a
greenish drab color necked with
brown.
Doubtless ths bluejay helped to
name itself, as its common utterance
Is a long drawn, Jay, jay. jay" This
cry. with the bright blue color, has
given It its name.
While the jay sings no song 1t is
able to initiate the calls Of other
birds, by which means it often at.
tracts them. 1t likes to tease and
torment the owl and especially the lit.
tie sparrow hawk. This Is done by
initiating the cry of wounded bird
which draws the hawk near. Then
several jays will dart at the hawk
squealing and frolickng about in
great glee. Sometimes the play ends
in tragedy, for the hawk pounces
upon one Of them, to the dismay OF
the others. Jays may be Gagged and
tanned like crows and some writers
say they can be taught to utter words

Pruning Fruit Trees.

The time for pruning all fruit trees
Is when they are young. Then Is the
time when most wood growth takes
place, and then Is the only time to
train the trees to the desired form.
The most severe pruning of a fruit
tree should be when 1t is set in the
permanent orchard. At re-setting,
many of the feeding roots will be de-
stroyed, hence pruning and severely
cutting back the top are necessary so
that the young tree will live while
new roots are forming and becoming
established In the new soil home. The
top of the young tree set out in spring
should be cut back to about two feet
of the ground, with some root pruning
at the same time The following
spring cut out all but FIVE or six main
branches, and begin to shape the head
according to your ideals for heading.
The following spring cut back these
main branches somewhat, and cut out
all surplus and interfering small
branches. Continue pruning every
subsequent spring for removal of sur
plus and interfering branches so that
it will never become necessary to cut
out large branches.
Although pruning may be done at
any time when the tree Is dormant
In late fall. winter or spring-yet the
best time is In the spring just before
new growth begins. Then the wounds
begin to heal Immediately and are
least exposed for decay.
Use a sharp instrument to make q
smooth, clean cut. Cut close so that
long stubs win not result. Avoid as
much as possible the cutting of large
branches. PruRe some every year.

Opening Up Lhasa.

Lhasa, which is the capital of
Tibet, for generations was known as
the Forbidden City, because Of its
political and religious exclusiveness.
In 1904 a British armed expedition
opened the mysterious old city. Pre-
vious to that time practically every
European traveller had been stopped
In his efforts to reach the place. The
population In Lhassa is about $1,000.
