the bark and emitting very disagree
able odor. and the diseased branch
or part turns black, as IL burned by
fire. When the pear tree is attacked
1t is difficult to save it, the disease
spreads so rapidly. In the apple and
ounce It is less fatal, rarely killing
more than portion of the tree. The
only remedy is to cut away instantly
the blighted parts into the sound
wood, where there is not the slightest
trace of the disease, and burn them up
at once.
Apple blight is a disease Of serious
character, inasmuch as II invades
and destroys many orchards. Like
the dreaded fire blight of the pear,
tacks a whole branch or limb. and
sometimes one-quarter to onYhalf OF
the top is destroyed. The only
known remedy is to cut away the
diseased branches down TO the
sound. healthy wood and burn at once.
The young trees should be cultivated
throughout the season and kept free
from grass and weeds. 1t is a good
plan to mulch young trees with coal
ashes or coarse. strawy manure. Coal
ashes are best. spread about one bush
el around each tree. The ashes keep
the soil cool and moist and prevent

comedy in which she achieved her greatest success, "The Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary by Anne Warner. It is difficult, impossible, in fact, to give an idea of the delicious humor of the play in an outline of the story There are many quaint phases, many touches of human nature, that cannot be transcribed. There are sudden transi- tions from humor to pathos and from pathos to humor. Smiles are turned into tears and then laughter again breaks out through the mists. Every thing has been done to make the re- vival noteworthy.

Pour it into a straight sided shallow pan of sufficient size to have the syrup about an inch deep. Drop in the nuts to be crystallized, not all lowing them to touch one another. Stand aside in a moderately warm, dry place, and leave undisturbed for twenty-four hours. If by this time they are sufficiently covered with the sugar crystals, drain off the syrup and stand the pan in a cool place until the nuts are dry.

When smooth and clear add one-half of cupful of sugar, cook for five minutes, then add the soaked ge1atine, stir until dissolved and set aside to cool; if no fruit juice is used, some fiavoring such as vanilla or al- mond should be used. Whip one pint of thick cream to a stiff froth, and when the farina begins to thicken mix the two lightly together, turn into wetted mold and set aside until firm. Cream is served with it.

home to us. To admit that one haS been wrong is the simplest way out. No one can continue to blame you for a fault when you frankly acknowl- edge it and avow your intention of overcoming it.
 But the man who cannot be wrons cannot thus abandon an untenable position. He must continue to holo it. no matter what the odds against him. And to do this he is often forced to abandon fair means and take to foul.
 He has to say mean things and show a yellow streak. He has to lie and. avail himself of the weapon of unmerited sarcasm and unjustifed ridicule.
 It Must Be Terrible to Have to Use
 Such Weapons.
 Why shouldn't anyone who couldn't bear to touch such weapons with his finger tips pity the man whose char acter forces him to employ them?
 Besides, there is another penalty for never being wrong.
 If you are never willing to blame yourself for anything, you must com slider yourself blameless. If you com slider yourself blameless that means that you feel you are perfect. If you think you are perfect, you see no need for growth and development and you will permit yourself to stand still.
 And as the most real happiness and satisfaction of life is in growth, in climbing up and on 'to new King doms of Heaven" why shouldn't we pity the man to whom this part of life is closed. 2.
 Why, indeed? ....,-...-....

The war scenes the remarkable representations of Ford's theater, with views in turn of the audience, the play in progress and the presidents box, the sheeted Ku Klux riders hastening on their deeds, the mob scenes the happy plantation life which preceded the war, all these excite wonder and admiration.

He Couldn't Be Wrong

We heard a man say an unusually mean thing about his wife the other day. How could he say that?" we wondered after he had gone.
 How could he help it?" said the Authorman
 Help it?" we echoed indignantly. Why, it was horrid thing to say. Why shouldn't he help it?" .
 He couldn't" persisted the Au- thorman, that is, not if he stuck to the main article of his creed"
 What is thatn"
 Puts Him in a Hard Place.
 That he can never be wrong. He was in a hard place: he had been practically proved wrong, the only way he could justify himself was to put the blame on his wife. It was a yellow thing to do, but he had to do it. Poor man, Pm rather sorry for him on the whole!'
 Sorry for him!' sniffed the Au- thormans wife. 'I shouldn't think you'd be, after the way he spoke. I think it rather reflects on you"
 The Authorman shrugged his shoul- ders helplessly. Is there any more utter helplessness than that one feels with a person who is constitutionally incapable of getting ones point of view.
 Personally I like the Authorman's l analysis of the case, don't you? 1 |, After all, could anyone be in a more i difficult position than the man who 1 cannot be wrong?
