IN PRISON FOR LIFE
 AND HAS s12S,4ss

An inheritance of $50,OOO left to him by his mother sixteen years ago while he was serving a sentence of life inn prisonment for the murder of Clinton Reynolds, a lawyer, has increased the estate of Alphonse J. Stephani to SIPS, ,48S.73, according to report filed with the supreme court by the Eqult- able Trust company, in proceedings brought by Hughes, Rounds, Schurman & Dwight, lawyers, for an order to col Iect $50 for services and S1 for eX- penses.
 Stephani was convicted in 1890, when he was 25 years old. He was the son of a prosperous importer of wines and shot the lawyer when he imagln- ed the latter was not properly hand ing his fathers estate of S25O,OOO. After his conviction he was adjudged insane and transferred to the Danne- mora state hospital for the criminal insane. During his twenty-eight years that he has been in prison many et- forts were made to obtain his free-' dom. His mother worked indefatga- blv in his behalf until her death.
 Under institutional rules Stephan is allowed only $50 a month and this caused his aunt, Mrs. Marie Hill Of Frankfort, Germany, to bring pro ceedings in 1914 for the distribution of his estate. She asserted that his limited needs permitted the distribu- ton among heirs-at-law of most of the principal, but Judge Lehman, who heard the action, decided that al- though Stephani was legally dead, he would not be deprived of his property.
 Since then the inheritance has been accomplishing at the rate of $5OOO a vear.-New York Herald.

T0P-WORKING OF PEACH TREE
Change Of One Variety to Another May
Be Done by Shield Budding or
by Grating.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Sometimes II is desirable to change
the top of a peach tree from one va
riety to another. A grower may find
after his orchard begins to bear that
he has larger number Of trees Of
some variety than he wants; a block
Of trees may prove to be some other
variety than the one ordered; or.
for some other reason, a variety is not
well adapted to the needs of the own
er. In such cases he may top-work the
tree either by budding or by grating
to a desirable variety
The ordinary method Of shield bud
ding is most commonly used for this
purpose. If the tree to be top-wOrked
is not more than two or three years
old 1t is usually practicable to insert
the buds directly into the main limbs
wen down toward The point where
they leave the trunk.
If the tree TO be top-budded has
reached the age when the bark on the
main Alitlb iliH btNtAA'C wv tiAA'fN ht4A
firm to be manipulated readily for bud
ding, 1t is necessary first to head Ii
back somewhat, as when the top Is to
be replaced with new growth Of the
same variety, and later insert buds
on the new branches that develop
after the tree has been deheaded.
When this course is followed the buds
should be inserted In the new growth
as near the trunk as Is practicable,
in order to have as large a portion Of
the top as possible Of the new variety.
This is also desirable on account Of
the subsequent management Of the
tree.
Top-wOrking is sometimes done by
grating instead Of budding, the or
binary cleft graft being generally
used. However, budding f. TO be pre-
ferred. especially as the Wounds made
in grating do not heal readily in the
case of the peach, though when prop
crly done the union Of stock and
scion Is generally strong enough to
make a fairly servi ceable tree. But
trouble resulting from difficulties In
the healing Of the wound are likely
to occur.
