OLD SHAKESPEARE IS FOUND
Fragment Of passionate Pilgrim" Be-
leved Earlier Than Any
80. Other Issue.

London.-Sotheby's will sell at auc'
ton a volume which rivals In rarity
the tiny book which G. D. Smith OF
New York bought for 1851 from the
Britwell Court library last December
That sold from the Brltwell library
comprised Shakespeare's @Venus and
Adonis," fourth edition, 1899, of which
only one copy is known; Shakespeare's
passionate Pilgrim" and "Sonnets,
first edition, 1899, Of which only one
other copy was then known, and "Epi-
grammes and Elegies," by Sir John
Davis and Christopher Marlowe.
The contents Of the newly discov-
cred volume are Shakespeare's PAS
sionate Pilgrim" and "Sonnets," first
edition, 1899; Shakespeare's "Lu-
crece," third edition, 1000, Of which
only one other copy is known; Thomas
Middleton's "Ghost of Lucrece," 1900,

"Emaricdulfe," by e. c., an author
never identified. 1896, and Shake
spreare's "venus and Adonis," fifth
edition, issued In 1899, the same year
as the fourth edition.
The Passionate Pilgrim and "Son-
nets" is a fragment containing a large
portion of the work. It's twenty-seven
leaves out Of thirty-four are. moreover,
made up Of two issues, one of which
Is the issue offered at the Britwell
Court sale, but the other issue from
which the piece is made up is one
hitherto unknown. 1t contains mis-
prints which In the Britwell Court ex-

the claim Of the latter to be the first
edition is. in the words of the cata-

varieties Of elms, oaks and other trees,
as well as certain foreign trees, such
as the Ginkgo, a native of Japan, that
thrives In either q cool or hot climate.
Nursery-grown trees should be used
for street planting. They should be
transplanted at least every two years
while in the nursery to insure thor
ough root pruning and an abundance
of fibrous roots close to the trunk. If
woodland trees are wanted, most kinds
should be grown for few years in a
nursery before being planted on a
street. A tree should have a straight
trunk with a good set of branches. the
lower ones being Z to o feet above the
ground. Opinions differ as to the sizes
to plant, but for average conditions
trees 10 to II feet high with trunks
2 to 21a inches In diameter are salts
factory for most street purposes With
elms and sycamores and some southern
oaks, trees somewhat larger can be
used, while In the regions Of limited
rainfall, smaller trees are preferable.
An important. detail of street plant
Ing is the preparation of the hole.
From 2 to cubic yards of top soil
from land that has been producing
good crops should be provided for
each street. we'll enriched with rotted
manure--one part of manure to four
of soil. Eighteen square feat Of open
ing In the pavement should be pro-
vided. especially II the latter is i'm
pervious to water. The soil should be
from 2ls to feet deep. II the soil in
which the hole Is dug is so impervious
as to hold water artificial drainage
must be provided. Under no circum-
stances should the depth of available
feeding ground be less thau feet. The
deper the roots can go. the less injury
is likely to result from drought. II
trees are to be shipped IN from a dis.
lance and are not to he planted at
once they should be taken on arrival
to some well-drained spot not too ex-
posed, where the roots can be carefully
covered or heeled In. In doing this the
tops may be left erect or laid almost
parallel to the ground. Not a moment
of exposure OF the roots should be per-
mitted In transferring them to the soil.
If the roots appear dry. they may be
dipped In a tub Of water or In thin
mud few minutes before heeling in.
When taking trees out Of this tenn
porary protection. care should again
be exercised TO prevent exposure Of
roots TO sun or wind. They should be
kept closely covered with moist burlap
or canvas until planted.
In climates where newly planted
trees may secure sufficient soil water
to replace losses resulting from dry
Ing. fan planting is best. Where they
secure insufficient moisture, planting
would better be done only In the spring.
Where the soil freezes to a level below
the roots. a supply Of water Is cut of
from the latter and the tree may be
killed because Of the evaporation.

Memories of Home

A clerk Of large musical instru-
ment store was sent out Monday after
aoon TO deliver a new banjo TO a pur-
chaser. when he was accosted en- route
~ a dusky man from the South. Al
arst the clerk feared ne was about to
be held up. but the ran assured him
that he was merely interested In the
banjo and for purely musical reasons.
whereupon the clerk opened the case
and allowed the man from the South

In advance, or If the excess of dryness
does not make the soil difficult to
handle the tree may be planted and
then thoroughly watered. After water
ing or 4 inches of the loose soil
should be spread over the wet ground
to prevent undue evaporation. It
should not be tramped or pounded in
any way after the water Is applied. II
trees planted In moist, retentive soil
are watered after planting. they should
be provided with a. mulch of similar
earth. East of the Missouri river.
trees planted in soil that is in good
condition usually do not need watering
at the time of planting.
Pruning Directions.
At planting time the tree should be
so pruned as TO remove half to three
fourths of the leaf buds. Specific direc-
lions with regard to pruning are diff
cult, because different species of trees
differ materially In the character Of
their growth. In addition to pruning
the tops, broken ends Of roots should
be removed with clean, sharp knife,
rs new rootlets put out more readily
from Clearly cut, fresh surfaces than
from ragged breaks. Under certain
conditions young trees usually need the
support of strong stake and often
some well constructed guard to
height of 6 or feet.
Proper care of mature trees involves
n thorough understanding of tree
growth. The removal of dead or I'M
desirable limbs should be done by cut
ting them off at the crotch so that the
wound is parallel with the remaining
branch. The closer this cut is made
to the remaining branch or trunk the
better. There should be no stubs left
to harbor decay and prevent healing.
1t is difficult to stimulate artlficially
the growth Of street trees. Sometimes
trees can be benefited by dissolving
one-half to one pound of nitrate Of
soda in 80 gallons Of water and apply
ing / to % gallons of the liquid at
time. the amount depending on the
size Of the tree. Unless this soil Is
damp. water should be applied immedi-
ately afterwards. This solution should
he used only when the tree is In full
leaf and growing.
Care Of Street Trees.
Water. Of course. is one of the
great needs Of city trees. as the
ground is frequently covered with
water-tlght paving. Street trees are
subject TO attacks by insects and sew
eral varieties have their destructive
enemies and diseases Hence. every
municipality needs the services OF a
trained man. who is provided with an
efficient spraying outfit 1t Is esti-
mated that 95 per cent of the attack
ing insects can be killed by insecti-
cides carefully applied with machine
that delivers stream under high
pressure.

lowing are some of the
points brought out:
Providing shade on city streets is
a municipal function. Probably the
most satisfactory supervision is through
an unpaid commission of three or FIVE
members appointed to long terms.
Funds may be provided by appropria-
ton from the general tax fund or by
direct assessment against the property
owners. 1t Is probably best to assess
the cost of tree planting against prop
erty owners on frontage basis, while
maintenance may be provided out Of
general funds.
An almost universal fault is TO plant
trees too near together. A common
practice is to set street trees 95 feet
apart. If public opinion will permit
the removal of one-half of the trees
at the proper time, this Is a good ar
rangement. In general, better rule
for the eastern hnlf Of the United
States and on the Pacific coast Is to set
trees 80 feet apart In the case Of most
varieties. For larger-growlng trees,
60 to 20 feet Is even better.
Some of the more obvious obstacles
with which a city tree has to contend
are water-tight pavements, the removal
of top soil in street paving, careless
digging for public service utilities.
saturation of the soil with gas from
defective pipes, the pouring of salt
water from ice cream freezers into
cutters, the gnawing of trunks by
horses and the slashing of tops by line
men and tree trimmers. A common
mistake In young. growing cities Is to
provide wider street pavements than
is likely ever to be needed. BY reduc-
ing the roadway and making the re-
mainder into parking spaces much is
added TO the attractiveness and com
fort Of the city.
Desirable Trees
The number of kinds Of trees suitable
for street planting is comparatively
small. A street tree must have fairly
abundant foliage that win withstand
dust and smoke and root system not
easily affected by unusual soil condi-
lions, by restricted feeding areas. or
by root pruning resulting from street
digging. The tops should be In pro-
portion to the streets width. Narrow
thoroughfares should be planted with
columnar trees such as Lombardy pop
lars. or with trees that do not attain
great size. Broad streets may be
planted with spreading trees. As a
rule. native trees that have been sue
cessfully grown In other cities should
be given the preference In making
selections. The bulletin contains data
regarding more than score Of differ
ent kinds Of trees. stating the time In
which they leaf. their geographic dis
tribution. etc. This list includes many
