The best plan in such cases is to plant young tree. On the other hand, there aro many orchards where the *trees, if oared for, would be en the prime of life, and neglect is the only native which prevents profitable crepe from being grown. It is of orchards such as these that a few suggestions are her offered as to how to bring them back into good condition. But the results desired cannot be got in one year. The trees, to begin with, shoula be pruned, not too heavily at first, but enouglt limbs should be taken out to open up the top and permit a free circulation of air and the admis- sion of sunlight to it. The trees will, probably, be much moss grown, and both they and the fruit may be af- fected with various diseases. Injurious insects, too, are almost eertain ta abound. Spraying should be begun early in the season, and the trees should be kept ctered from top to bottom with Bordeaux mixture and Paris green mail the fruit is almost fully grown. &raping the trunks and large branches of the trees may be done if there th much moss, but as soon as the tree becomes more vtgorous and air and sunlight are admitted, much of the moss' will disappear. If the oyster ellen bark louse, or other male Insects., infect the trees, they shoull be sprayed wali the era* aria. lure, or other materiel already men- tioned.

As the orchard, if neglected, is al- most certain to be In sod, the soil should be ploughed shallow in the spring, turning under a good dress - lag of manure If it can be procured. If thci sod is dot too thick It might be worked up with the disc or spade harrow. The ground should then be kept thoroughly harrowed until July, working in other fertilizers if the land be poor and manure is not to be had; and then red clover seed sown at the rate or twelve pounds per acre and the ground rolled.

It is entitled "His- tory or Kissiug," and is the fruit of long study on this interesting sub- ject, the author haying searched In all possible quarters for the neees- sera material. lei defining a kiss he quotes Ver- laine, who says: "A Ides is the ac- compa,niment which is played on the keyboard of the teeth when levesings to an amoroes heart." He also quotes a Latin epigram, which says: "What is sweeter than wine? The dew of heaven. And what is sweet- er than dew? Honey. And what Is sweeter than honey? Nectar. And than nectar ? A kiss." About the sound made by a kiss he has unearthed many ourious say - Inge. Johannes Jorgensen says: "The beating of the waves against the shore is like the sound of long kisses." Kierkegaard in a stery re- marks: "We heard all the even- ing a sou,nd as though some one was striking at flies, yet It ware only the kisses of the loving comple." Still more unfeeling is the German expres- sion: "The kiss sounded as though a cow was dragging ber hind leg out of a bog," and almost as heartless as this is the Danish phrase:, "He made more noise when he kissed her than is made when a cow's horns are struck off." Professor Nyrop spent much time trying to find out how women regard kissing, and became con- vinced that on one -point at least they all agree—namely, that men with beards are far preferable to all others. In an old Roumanian ballad a hero Bays: "I am too young to marry, for my beard has not yet isprouteci. 'What married woman would Mee me?" Aueording to a Germea•proverb. 'W kles without a beard Is an egg with- out salt." In Holland ond Jutland young women are of the same opin- ion, for they claim that "Kieses are no good unless they taste Well and are sweet." .They also fiLii that "Kissing a man who has ilo.eeard le like kissing a mud wall." On the other hone, Profesetor Ny- rop says that women as a rule dis- like to kiss men whose .inestalus are motet, and he quotes the Daniell ex- pression, "He is good to kisseeut only when otie is thirsty," and oleo the German one, "If you kiss him you'll get some sauce along with it." That any harm is done by .kissing the author &me not believe, and he brings forward much testimony as a proof that he is right. Thus the Italians say: "A mouth le not the worse for being kissed," and a French poet asks: "Bah! What are two kisses? Only two builets that have miased the mark." A Norwegian sling 41 says: "Johannesen kissed the irl once, twiee, an the mouth, and ca time she was glad of it." Ace° Mg to a German proverb, "The place where one has been kissed may be wiped, but the fire in the heart cane not be quenched." Prof. Nyrop lays stress on, the fact that stolen kisees ate the sweetest. Tee Spantards say on this point: "ef your mother scolds you, deter girl, because you have let a man kiss you, give hlm his kiss back, and then she will have to close her niouthr" Attention is also directed to the young student who said to a girl: "Se you are angry because I kissed you? Well, if you don't like my kiss give it back to ma" The story is also, told of it Danish couple wha were engaged but decided to sew - ate, "We had better give bacitleakb other's letters," sale he. " All Matt," bald she, "and we may as well at the Eamo time give back each otheive kisses." They did so, and promptly decided not to separate. That it stolen kiss may bring a ma,n into peril the professor main- tains, and as proof he tells the fol- lowing story: "In 1887 Mr. Thomas Saveriand, of London, cemplained that Mem Caroline Newton, had bitten a piece out of Ids nose While he was trying to .kiss her. Mee Newton admitted that she had done eo, but claimed that she did not want to be Mated, vvhereirpon the judge dismissed the ease, saying: "When a man kisses it girl against her wilt she may bite off his noire It alio likes." eA.s a Malt of this; work Prot. Nyrop Is now recognized as the one great authority on kissing in the World.— New l'ork Herald. /•••••••11 0•11.011AVOW.11•••••••6 She Gained Eleven Pounds And Was Brought Back From Nervous Prostration to Health and Strength by Using Dr. Chase's Nerve Food.
