best land on the farm, as it requires st
good sail to furnish the constant sups

planting, heals over during the winter,
the soil becomes firm around the roots
and resists drouth much better than
spring planted trees. The holes which
are to receive the trees should be at
lesat three feet square, and of sufile
dent depth. The soil should be thor-
oughly mixed with well rotted manure
and vrell filled in and pressed among
the roots. Trees set in this way will
grow twice as rapidly as trees set in, a
haphazard way. All cross limbs and
stater sprouts should be cut oft each
year, and shortening the tops annually,
is advanta.geous, as trees are then not
no liable to break down when loaded
with fruit, and the fruit is more easily/
gathered.

Sonscald Among Fruit Trees.
• in some parts of the country 'run,
Scald is one of the most important fac-
tors in growing fruit trees. Especial-
ly is this true in the southwestern
states, where the danger from sun-
Purning controls the whole practice ol
cultivation and pruning. In that, coun-
Zry the trees are headed low, even
Tlown to within a foot or six inches of
the -ground, in order to protect the
trunks. At theeame time any consid-
erable pruning in the tops is avoided,
because it would expose the larger
branches to the deadly sun scald. This
1/41ifficulty is less frequently met in the
northeastern. states, but the writer (F.
IA.. Waugh, in The Country Gentleman)
lias lately visited an orchard as far
north as Canada and New England
Line, where nearly 50 per cent of the
trees were ruined Dy this trouble. They
ferere pruned too high, with heads ail
Seven and eight feet from the ground.
Sun scald Is usually worse on appled

early stages, sun scald may be cured by
protecting thetrunk with boards„ pa -

—There is a drop of about 8'20,0.00 in the

this year. The chief causes assigned for the
drop are unfavorable weather on the .first

IPortrait; of Shelley.
Tr. Garnett has an article in The
Magazine of Art for September hich
should be of great interest to ali stu-
dents of Shelley. It deals with the
portraits of the poet which have re-
eently been added to the National Por-
trait Gallery. The following passage
deals with the portrait by Miss Cur -
1 ran :—Curran had been an intimate
'friend of Godwin, Mary Shelley's
father, who had given Shelley an in-
troduction to him on the occasion of tire
former's expedition to Ireland in 1812;
but the Irishman's boisterous convi-
viality seems to have disgusted the
• eensitive eroung poet. The Shelleye ap-
pear to have been for some time un -
!mare of Miss Curran's residence at
Rome, but after its discovery through
a chance recognition on April 23, 1819,
she became their frequent companion.
The portrait was begun on May 7, and
shortly afterwards Miss Curran is
found painting Mary and little William.
Personal intercourse was -abruptly ter-
minated by the death of the child on
June 7; the heart -broken parents left
Rome immediately, and never met Miss
Curran again. Letters were neverthe-
less interchanged respecting a. monu-
Inent which she designed for William
Shelley, and a copy of Guido's "Bea-
trice Cenci" _which she undertook to
make to be engraved as a frontispiece
to Shelley's tragedy. The execution
of both projects seems to have been pre-
vented by want of means. All the por-
traits meanwhile remained in Miss Cur-
ran's possession until ....after Shelley's ,
death, .when Mary applied for them.
Miss Curran, however, had gone to
Paris, and the Shelley portrait was
packed up at Rome. Even when she
returned, it was no easy matter to get
it safely conveyed to England. There
seems to have been some idea that it
might be brought by the young poet
Thomas Lovell Beddoes, who had prov-
ed his enthusiaem for Shelley by aid-
ing to guarantee the cost of publish-
ing the Posthumous Poems. But Bed -
does got no nearer to Rome than Flor-
ence. and his stay there was of the
briefest. "If," he writes to Procter
from Milan, June 8, 1824, "I could be
of any use in bringing the Portrait it
would be a proud task, but most likely
I only flash over Florence ; entering
on the flood of the stars and departing
with their ebb." At length, on April
19, 1825, Miss Curran writes to Mrs.
Shelley: "I waited • to write to you
until I could say that at last I had
found an opportunity of sending the
picture you are so anxious about. . .
It is enclosed in a small case of pic-
tures to; Edgell Wyatt-Edgell, Esq.,
care of Messrs. Calrore wine merchants,
St. ‘Mary's Hill, Fenchurch street,
London. If the duty on pictures has
not been taken off, as we hear, you
will have to pay it. The picture has
to be' delivered, expenses paid; it is the
best I could do to forward it to! you."
This. was assuredly a reasonable con-
dition, as the pieture was still Miss
Curran's property, It was ultimate-
ly reCeived on September 17, 1825. Pre-
served with religious care during the
lives of Mary Shelley, her son Sir
Percy, and her daughter-in-law, it be-
came the property of the National
Portrait Gallery upon the death of
Lady Shelley in 1898.
SCOTT BROS.
Lady Shopkeepers. I
In a London letter of a recent date
the following interesting paragraph ap-
peared :—"One of the things which has
been remarked this season is the quite
surprising number of ladies who have
been going in for trade, that means
making a livelihood. Napoleon Bona-
parte said the English were a nation of
shopkeepers, but he would have been
even more surprised to -day had he
known the number of patrician ladies
who are not ashamed to strike out a
line for themselves in order to be inde-
pendent of their various relations. How
many people know that the ladies'
skirt -makers in Sloane square are real-
ly all 'women of excellent birth and
position, and they are doing a rattling
good business, too. Their blouses ars
quite famous, and they have had so
many orders to execute during the last
season that they are quite unable to
cope with all the orders that are show-
ered upon them. Thize by the way, is
not op account of their birth and posi-
tion, but because the work turned out
by them is excellent. Miss Cockerell,
too, whose engagement has been 'an-
nounced to Captain Noel of the 17th
Lancers, and the son of Lady Augusta
Noel, has made quite a name for her-
self by the beauty of design and the
workmanship of the lovely neck chains
be has made. Half the 'smart pet' in
London used to go to Albert Hall Man-
sions, South Kensington, with commis-
sions for her. I have seen a great deal
elf her charthing artistic handiwork.
Everything is mot beautiful. She has
a delightful way ef blending jewels to-
gether. Some of her necklaces and
oha1ns of uncut stones are really su-
perb. Miss Cockerell Obtained very
large sums of money for her artistic
chains. Many of those one sees in
London came from her atelier. Many
of the first-class tea-rooms of London,
which are commanding the best trade,
are also run by ladies of quality,"
The Arab and France,
To Izzet Bey, surnamed "The Arab,"
is ascribed the aggressive attitude of
the Sultan toward France. Izzet is
regarded in diplomatic circles as the
evil genius of the Sultan, and although
nominally his secretary, he is in real-
ity not only his chief adviser, but like-
wise his chief executive officer. The
Sultan recently conferred upon him the
title of "Transmitter of the Verbal
Ccmmands of His Imperial Majesty, the
Sultan." Small in stature and frail in
anpearance, Izzet, who was a subor-
dinate police official when he first at-
tracted the attention of the Sultan in
connection with the discovery of a. con-
spiracy,possesses a constitution that can
only be deeeribed as of steel wire. He
is 'simply indefatigable, is rarely known
to eat or sleep, and has so thoroughly
Impressed everybody at the Yildiz
Kiosk with the conviction that he is
able to do without food or. rest, that
they look upon him as possessed of
supernatural powers and as something
akin to an evil spirit. He Is with Ab-
dul Hamid night and day, and no soon-
er does he leave the Imperial presence
-than he is summoned hack. His clever-
ness is best shown by the fact that for
eight years he has known how to main-
tain his position as chief favorite of
the Sultan, bringing about the disgrace
and in marry cases the death of every
statesman or dignitary who either stood
in his way or whose influence with the
Sultan he had occasion to apprehend.
Izzet is responsible for most of the
fereign policy of the Sublime Porte
during the past decade, and to him
belongs the credit of having taught the
-Sultan to make good use of the unreal-
ity of the so-called concert of Europe.
He is especially averse to the French,
being like all Arabs, of a revengeful
disposition, and neither forgiving nor
forgetting the fact that in 1890 he was
dismissed from the subordinate police
office which he then held,on the demand
of the French Embassy, on the ground
of cruelty and corruption at the ex-
pense of French subjects. He is the
most dreaded man in the entire Turk-
ish Empire, of which he may justly be
described as the Vice -Regent.

Why Women Are Invalids.
The insane desire of fond parents that
their children shall "shine" in their
studies and accomplishments is one to-
pic vigorously dealt with lax Edward,
Bok in his editorial In The Ladies'
Home Journal for September. Regard-
ing the girls' side of this widespread
evil he says: "There are parents who,:
net content with the studies which'
their daughters have to grapple with at
school, load themdown with a few spe-
cial studies in the finer arts. I have
in mind now several young girls, be-
tween the precarious ages of twelve and
seventeen, who, after they return from
school, have an extra dose of painting,
music or languages. 'But my daughter
must know something of these things,'
is the protest of the fond mother. She
must be able to hold her own with
other girls of her set' Of course, the
girl at Ole tender age, with such a
mental load, soon goes to pieces. She
becomes anaemic, listless and nervous,
and then the mother wonders why! To,
build her up everything under the sun
is tried except a lessening of mental
work and the unnatural strain upon
the nervous system. The girl develops
into what A bundle of nerves encas-
ed in the most fragile frame, her phy-
sical vitality sapped almost to the last
dreg. And in this condition she enters
the marriage state! And yet we won-
der why there are so few women abso-
lutely free from organic troubles. Is
It so inexplicable ?"
Hone For the Negro.
Looking at the other race in the
south, who must be reckoned, if they
will allow themselves to be so, as a
part of the southern people—whilst
there is much to cause regret and evenl
disappointment to those who are theiri
•
truest friends, yet there is no littlei1
from which to draw hope, says Thoma,
Nelson Page, in September Atlantic.
No other people ever had more disad--1
vantages to contend with on their issue
into freedom. They were seduced, de-
ceived, misled. Their habits of indus-
try were destroyed, and they were
fooled into believing that they could
be legislated into immediate equalityl
with a race that, without mentioning
superiority of ability and education;
had a thousand years' start of therm!
They were made to believe that their
only salvation lay in aligning them-
selves against the other race, and foie
lowing blindly the adventurers who
came to lead them to a new Promised
Land. It is no wonder that they com-
mitted great blunders and great ex-
cesses. For nearly a generation they
have been pushed along the wrong
road. But now in place of politicall
leaders, who were simply firebrands,:
Is arising a new class of leaders, which,
with a wider horizon, a deeper sagac-1
ity, and a truer patriotism, are endeav-i
oring to establish a foundation of mor-
ality, industry, and knowledge, and to
build upon them a race that shall be,
capable of availing itself of every op-
portunity that the future may -presenti
and worthy of whatever fortune it may
bring.
Ants and the Flowers.
"Like the rest of us. ants have a
sweet tooth. Now, honey is produced
by very many plants in their blossoms,
but not for ants. Flowers advertise;
quite extensively, but only for flying
customers. They hang out bright colore
and bunch themselves together so that
any bee or butterfly that is not totallyi
blind may find them. In the case of the
rhododendron they even go so far as to:
announce, 'This way to the bar.' For
the evening trade they dress in white;
and are strongly perfumed. Bees and.
butterflies and such like crawl in, all,
bedaubed with pollen from other flow-
ers of the same kind.and thus the plants
are cross-fertilized; but ants and crawl-
ing things climb up and suck honey
from a clover and then go to the next
plant, which may not be a clover at all.
and so the flower has wasted its honey
and its pollen all for nothing. That is.
it would if it let the ants do as they
wanted. But it doesn't. When an
ant comes around all the honey -bearing
flowers shake their heads and say,
'Nothing for you—not to -day. No, no;
go on away. Get out now, or I'll set
the dog on you.' Some defend their
blossoms with regular chevaux de frise
of bristles and stickers: some make
their stems gummy and hairy; some.
like the snapdragon, shut up so tight
that an ant cannot get in and make the
flower stalk so dingle -dangling and so
slippery that the ant falls off. Some
open early and close early, knowing
that bees rise betimes while ants are
notorious slug -a -beds. But that there is
a determined purpose to boycott the
ants is evident from the fact
that amphiblours plants when they
grow in , the water where ern -
mete cannot get to them omit
the defences they throw up when they
grow on the land. On the other hand.
some plants, recognizing the fact that
ants are great for destroying worm
and caterpillars, set out a kind of cheap
lunch for them on the under side of
the leaves. The acacia even goes so
far as to grow hollow thorns as com-
pany houses for the ants. as well as
furnishing them sweet. syrup. But I
think the smartest trick of all is played
by the melampyrum pratense. It knew
that the soil on an ant hill was more
than usually fertile and well stirred up,'
so it sat with its head in its hands for
a long time and thought out this plan of
action: 'Ants like honey. I'll squeeze
out a little for them. They think the
world and all of their young ones. I'll
make my seeds look like their cocoons,
and, more than that, I'll make them
smell like their cocoons. They'll carry
'ern under ground, and when spring
comes they'll sprout.' It worked like a
charm, and you will find the melame
pyrum pratense growing on ant hills
where no other plant is allowed. It
looks like a low-down trick to play, but
where there is so much competition it
doesnqt do to be too particular."—
Harvey Sutherland, in Ainslee's.
The Awakening of the Boy.
"There was always something very
brave and beautiful to me in the sight
of a boy when he first 'wakes up,' and
seeing the worth of life takes it up
'vrith a stout heart and resolves to carry
It nobly to the end through all disap-
pointments and seeming defeats. I
was born with a boy's nature and al-
ways had more sympathy for and in-
terest in them than in girls, and have
fought my fight for nearly fifteen years
with a boy's spirit under my 'bib and
tucker' and a boy's wrath when I got
'floored,' so I'm not preaching like a
prim spinster, but freeing my mind
like one of 'our fellows,' and as such
