LION CAUSED A C0MM0TI0N
dentalIy Led to Lavish Display
Of Hosiery.

A lion in a Jersev City railway sta
ton wriggled out of his cage the othel
day and created mild panic. O.
course. as the immortal weaver justly
observes in the Shakespeare fantasy
a lion among ladies is a most dread
full thing" and the ability and hosiery
displayed upon the untoward occasion
seems to have been extremely hurried
and generous.
1t is said by his keeper that there
was no danger. The lion was an ad
vanced neutral. He was out for food
but not for food Of the primitive type
The glowing charms and smelliness Of
the railway restaurant had lured him
to the point of breaking his bonds.
With q hop. skip and leap he would
have reached the lunch counter. and
in less than three seconds by a Hack
ensack hour glass would have had the
place to himself.
When his keeper arrived on the
scene the unhappy king of the forest
had decided to divide his attention be-
tween q fossil doughnut and a con.
crete pie.
Az the rude chaperon fastened a
thumb and finger in the leonine ear
and pushed him back into his cage, he
roared dolefully-the lion roared dole
fully-and there is no doubt the roar
spelled acute mental Indigestion.
Thus ended another of those rare
episodes that help to break the deadly
monotony Of New Jersey life.-Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.

WATERING CITY TREES.

Practicable Method Described BY In
vsstisator Who Has Studied Subject.
I'm a recent issue Of the Scientific
American" says a correspondent Of
that paper, appeared q description Of
q novel co%ntrivance which II being
used in ~Strassburg, Germany, for ap-
plying water to- city trees in dry sea
sons. The method therein described
Of bending a perforated iron pipe
around the tree to be watered and
then attempting to saturate the hard
ground sufficiently for the needs Of a
large tree by means of pouring water
into q funnel and thence into the bent
and buried pipe. pierced with small
h%oles-appears to be a most impracti-
cal and expensive method.
your correspondent has often had
occasion to apply water to planted
trees In an arid climate, and he has
been uniformly successful with the
simple expedient of boring one or more
holes with a post auger. avoiding all
large roots, at a suitable distance from
the tree-say eighteen inches, more or
less. according to its age-and to a
depth Of two to three feet.
These holes, If more than one is
deemed necessary, should encircle the
tree eqnidistantly and be tamped full Of
horse manure mixed with light stable
litter. which will be found to take up
water by the bucketful as fast as It
can he noured thereon. fertjlizin1 and
softening the ground all around the
roots and retaining the moisture for q
long time. .
IA dab Of hay can easily be added
on top Of any hole where settling takes
place. BY this means the roots will
also receive an Increase Of moisture
during rainy seasons"

Arbor Day comes on May Z
this year. That is the day for
everyone to spend out doors. If
you do not intend to plant trees
or flowers, seed your garden. Or
better STILL get the cleaning
fever, and if you have cleaned
your own yard, see what can be
done i'm adjoining vacant lots.
Some may think that work is
for the city, and it may be, but
a good way to get it done will be
to oversee the work yourself.
Give that day to the city it necr
essary. You will not miss it and
it will no doubt give satisfac-
ton to- many to see the beautiful,
clean vacant lots that have for
merly been an eye sore. Arbor
Day is not clean up day, but
tree planting and cleaning both
are identifying and that is what
should be done on Arbbr Day.
