If they cannot give reit- son this is good evidence that they do not understand Bruning. You know why we prune the hedge. It is for the purpose` of keeping the hedge dense and low. Why' do we not trim our oaks, maples and elms? For the reason glut we desire them to be densely headed, thus it cannot be said we tfine our apple trees to hake thein more beautiful. Should we trim our elms, maples and oaks back to make them- longer lived or more Healthful? No, it is not natural fct trees of any kind to be pruned they are. not apt to be so long lived after pruning nor so handsome to kok at. The main object of pruning is to be able to produce larger and bet- ter fruit than could be secured without pruning. If a fruit tree is filled with branches thickly, the tree will have twice as much fruit as it can bring to merfection. If each year we thin out a few of the branches we thus thin out the fruit and at the same time permit the rays of the sun to penerate so as to color the fruit and bring it to. perfection. If too many branches are taken out andthe sun admit - AXLE GREASE is the turning -point to economy in wear and tear of wagons. Try a�boxa. Every dealereeverywhere. The Imperial QII Coss•lattl.

There is the young Duke of Whitby, good-natur- ed and foolish, with a simple, plea- sant face and a very shy manner. I had that ass opportunities I'd make the world spin," says Wriothesley Ormond, who is a very poor and very witty member of par- liament, and also, which he values more, the most popular member of the Marlborough.

TALKING LIGIITIIOUSES. night. "Curious type, the young fel- kws," says Blanford, musingly. "I don't think they will keep England what our fathers and grandfathers made it. I don't think they will, even if Chamberlain and company will let them, which they certainly won't." "Tell you what it is," says Usk, "it all comes of having second horses hunting, and loaders behind you out shooting." "You compound cause and ef- fect: The race wouldn't'have come to second horses and men to load if it hadn't degenerated. Second horses and men to load indicate in England just, what pasties of night- tingales' tongues and garlands of ,`ogee indicated with the Romans— effeminacy and self-indulgence. The Huns and the Goths were knocking at their doors and Demos and De- bacle are knocking at ours. His- tory repeats itself, which is lament- able, for its amazing tendency to tell the same tale again and again makes it a bore." "I should like to know, by the way," he continues, "why English girls get taller and taller, stronger and stronger, and are es the very palm of the desert for vigor and force, while the English young man gets smaller and smaller, slighter and slighter, and has the nerves of an old maid and the habits of a valetudinarian. It is uncommonly droll, and if the disparity goes on increasing the ladies will not only get the franchise, but they will car- ry the male voter to the polling place on their shoulders, "As the French women did their husbands out of some town that snrrendared in some war," said Boom, who was addicted to hietori cal' illustration and never lost oe- casion to display it.

It is George .Usk's opinion that the whole thing is immoral; he is by en means a moral person himself. His wife, on the contrary, thinks that it is the only way to have your house liked, and that nobody is supposed to know anything, and that nothing of that sort matters; she is a woman who on her own ac- count has never done anything that she would in the least mind having printed in the Morning Post to -mor- ro W.
