notion, and I may as well say, ignor-
ant. notions, are apt to cut too severely.
So-called professional tree pruners are
very likely to be of this character.
They often cut unmerciful.. They
want to show something, .done, so they
make pleuty of brush; just aa some
doctors do who give medicine of some
kind to their patients in all cases
whether any is needed or not, lest they
be thought inattentive. I would
rather risk almost any man of ordinary
good sense in my orchard with a few
simple instructions about pruning
than one of these tree carpenters.
The principles of pruning, as I hold
them are to head rather low, to have a
central stem, with branches that come
out evenly and continuously, to allow
no large limbs to cross each other or
otherwise interfere. Train to a round,
evenly balanced head. Great care
should be used to know the habit of
each variety, those which are of up-
right habit being headed lowee aad
cut back on top to prevent too tall
growth, and those of drooping or
spreading habit being treated exactly
the reverse. Do not out off all the
twigs along the main branches, for
they are needed to shade them and
sometimes bear considerable good fruit,
especially in case of the peach. No
stumps should be left, but the cuts
made exactly at the crotches. It has
been proved by careful ,experimetits
that it does not pay to cover small
wounds with anything to protect them
from the weather while they are heal-
ing. Large wounds, such as are over
an inch in diameter, should be covered
with any common paint, which is cheap
and as good as wax or anything else
for this purpose. If these ideas are rea-
sonably well followed there will be
little or need to secure the advice of
an expert to show any sensible man
how to 'clo the work well.

to cut alaing with the red clover not

the young' red clover and give it suf-
ficient vigor and growth to carry it

there is a field with spots of poor soil

taken to so enrich them before seeding

forests around it by Dr. Sven Hedin,
the Swedish explorer, in the Desert of
Gobi, Central Asia, at an elevation of
between 16,000 and 18,000, feet above
,,sea level. Dr. Hedin considers that
the site of this city now exceeds in
dreariness and desolation all the other
desert parts of the earth, and. yet un-

THE VEGETABLE GARDEN.
The vegetable garden should receive
more attention than is usually
given to it by most farmers, who are
apt to think it is beneath their notice
and give all their attention to the big
fields of grain, a good deal of the pro-
ceeds which must go to buy food for
the family, while if three or four
dollars' worth of vegetable seed are
bought and. the garden properly cared
for the resuat will be a good many
dollars' worth of the most. wholesome
food one can obtain.
It will not only save buying a good
deal of food, but there should be some
extra vegetables to take to town to ex-
change for groceries. Early peas and
string peas, green onions and toma-
toes, all find a ready market if of
good quality, and not mu.ch time need
be expended in growing them.
If the family is large enough so that
help need not be hired, one acre of
vegetables, such as sweet potatoes,
onions, Flubbard squash and tomatoes,

vie with each other to obtain men and
They send out agents to dis-
tant places to muster a crowd of
working -girls and bring the= to the
towns. Dormitories are built for those
who come from a distance. But the
number of girls and men thus obtained
is not sufficient. The inhabitants of
the cities must be bribed to work in
the factories. Different attractions
are offered. Some owners provide
tenement houses, which they let to the
workers at a nominal rent, others sell
them cheap rice.
Competition goes further still. Not
only do the factories bid for outside
help, but they try to lure away the
workers from rival, factories. This has
led ,to so much quarrelling that often
the police are called upon to interfere.
As a consequenee, a unlon among the
thread factories has been formed, arid
an agreement made that no factory
shall employ mau or woman from any
other factory in the union until 1m or
she has for a certain stated period left
the other factory. If an employer does
thus engage one fro= another factory,
ae is fined.
Yet the stealing of laborers goes -en.
It has become a necessity for each fac-
tory to send an inspector to other fac-
tories from time to time, to spy out the
stolen ones, The thief, however, is of-
ten too waxy to let his booty be dis-
covered. It is said that some factories
have skillfully contrived hiding -places
where the fugitives can conceal them-
selves the instant an inspeotor enters
the factory. One of the factories is
said to have gone so far as to feed the
=eta who have left other employers un-
til the stated -Lima has elapsed.

FLOWER, WOMEN OF PARIS.
The, roses of Paris are different from
the roses of this country, for they live
met in the coldest weather, and do not
seem to know what it is to get nipped
by frost,
The first thing that strikes a person
on going to Paris, is the nuinbet of
flower women who stand upon the
street corners and in fl'ant of the
shops begging you always to buy a
flower of them. They 'earry their
wares in big straw baskets, which are
strapped upon their baeks like Ixidian
papooses. Not content with this
heavy load, the Parisian flower woman
carries another basket of flowers up-
on her arm, and in- her lndg.there

GORDON'S COURAGE.
Sir W. 11. Russell, the veteran war
correspondent, telle this characteristic
story of Gordon: ,
•During the Crimean W.a.r there, was
a sortie, and the Russians a.alturlly
reached the English trench, Gordon
stood on the parapet in great danger
of his life, with nothing save his stick
in his hand, encouraging the soldiers
to drive out the Ru,etsions.
Gordon, they eried, come , down!
You'll be killed!
But he took no notice, and a soldier

On the wearing of the first silk hat

account:
John Hetherington, harberdasher,

Lord Mayor yesterday on a charge of
breach of the peace and inciting to
riot, and was required to give bonds
in the sum of £500. It -was in evidence
that Mr. Hetherington, who 18 wail con-

called a silk hat, which was offered be

timid people. As a matter of fact, the
officers of the crown stated, that say-

sight,white children screamed, clogs
yeiped and a younger son of Cordwain-
er Lthomas, who was returning from a
chandrer's shop,was thrown down by the
crowd which had collected and had his

the defendant was seized by the guarda
