The Earl of Arroudul0 was bestutl-
ful to look at, beautiful to listen
to and as highly polished as the
Koh-1-noor. Ito hail been known for
years as the modern Chesterfield and
society was proud Nf him, as an in-
stance of what noble rank and high
breeding can produce.
Ho was tall and thin, with a face
in which every feature was as clearly
and cleanly cut as if it hud been
time by a Grecian sculptor, and on
which a beard or moustache had
never been allowed even to suggest
itself,
At this period his hair was nearly
white, but otherwise the face was al-
most without a wrinkle, and tho
figure was so well preserved that it
was at once the admiration and as-
tonishment of all who were privileg-
ed to gaze upon at.
In speech, Huuard, Lord Arrow -
chile, was, so it was said, n model of
grace and eloquence for these degen-
erate tines; his voice soft, and yet
distinct and capable of any modula-
tion. In manpers-but tho pen fal-
ters in its endeavors to convey an.
idea of Lord Arrowdale's manners.'
Lori Palmerston, who had employed
him in foreign service, had been
heard to declare that Arrowdale's
voice tt'oulti melt a nen Indian and
hie manners move a 'Tartar.
No ono had ever seen him in that
vulgar frame of mind known as a
"temper." When angry -and even
he had been angry at some periods
of his polished existence` -his voice
usually grew softer and his smile
sweeter. Once, when a young man,
a woman had struck him across tho
fact: with or without cause, proba-
bly with -and in the presence of
others. They had waited to see
what, he would do, and were moved
to admiration when he caught tho
hand that had struck him and. rais-
ing it to his lips, murmured with a
smile: "Hather a blow from you than
a kiss from another," and in their
admiration tho onlookers probably
forgot that ho had wronged the wo-
men or as probably considered that
his exquisite manners had more than
atoned.
As a young man the noble earl had
been wild and reckless, with a society
polished wildness; belt of tato years
hu had subsided into the middle-
aged but ever youthful man cf re-
tired
o-tired habits and studious tastes.
And he was still the model to
which parents pointed when they
wished to impress upon their sons a
type of what 0 ratan should bo who
was made by manners.
It. in true thatthere wero ribald
individuals who had been known to
jeer nt hint and even to go ns far
as to call hint the Superfine Earl;
but if he was aware of these -and it.
was very little that he wee not
aware of -Lord Arrowdale went on
his way serene, smiling and unmov-
ed.
On the evening of the day after that
on which Ur. lest herick had paid his
visit to Clitl 1'.>ttage, Norton, the
earl had a small dinner party.
iie had asked rho guests before he
had received the letter from Cathe-
rine ((ayes. and, notwithstanding it
wns the day upon which he was to
receivo tho daughter lie had not yet
seen. he had not postponed his little
party.
"Never put off a dinner, however
unimportant, unless there be a (!eeth
in the fancily or smallpox in rho
house," was ono of 1118 nutxiuts.
And exactly at n quarter to eight
o'clock he left the hands of his valet,
exquisitely dressed, upright as a dart
with every white hnlr in placo, with-
out a crease in his shirt front or
scarcely a wrinkle in his faro. and
with the clean-cut lips just curved
with the smile which, if ho had lab-
eled his smiles, would probably have
been numbered "No. 'l, Smile for the
reception of ono's guests."
Nanticigh Court wits as old and as
unimpeachable in the way of ances-
e try ns its owner. Originally the re-
sidence of a Norman heron -of course

the mere idea caused hint to shudder,
and the guide books always put to
their descriptions of the place a fe.,,t-;
tote, "Strangers are not permitted
to pass the park gates."
The earl made his way down the'

the slow and stately grace peculiar
to hila, and was passing into the
drawing room when the feotimt0 ap-

"I beg your pardon. I ought to
have said 'my daughter, Lady

Lord Ferndale started and the
rector and Mr. Parllts•t exchanged
glances. They remembered the oar's
marriage and tho quickly following
separation, but they ,had known
nothing of (Ito daughter.
'1'1►e earl seemed, in a courteous
fashion, to enjoy their surprise.
"Tea oro astonished, Ou;ldford?"
ho said, addressing the young man,

"You were not aware that I sus

pleasantly, "that 1 have not seen for

DISEASES OF 1'IRUIT 'TREES,
Tho black knots: frequently seen on
plants, sour cherries, ittcluding tt;ld
cherry trees, are produced by a fun-
gus. During the summer this fungus
bears ono kind of spore, and ,n h:to
winter or early spring 'mother.
These spores aro carried by she
wind and grow where they find fav-
or/tine lodgment.. Their growth on
plums and cherries irritates the tire
sues, which sw'eil and split the lark,
this exposing their olive green in-
terior, which later becomes sooty
black.
The only satisfactory treatment is
preventive. 'Tho method generally
recommended is to cut out and burn
all knots found during winter and
early Spring, and again during May
and June. This requires but little
time. Wild cherries anti plant trees
in fedi.' u rows which are infested
should be cut down and burned.
I'ear blight or lire blight is duo to
a kind of bacteria which gains en-
trance to the tissues of pear, apple

also visiting the flowers or wounds
through which entrance is believed
to bo gained. Speaking of this
blight, l'rof. W. 11. Atwood, former-
ly of the Virginia experiment sta-
tion, Rays:
For many years we relied upon
cutting out tho infected parts as
coon as discovered. If this 19 rigor-
ously dune, and eareclally if tho
trees are carefully gone over after
growth ceases in the fall and every
bit of blight wood taken out, the
dsease is greatly checked. This
work is exceedingly laborious, and I
have had the blight steadily pro-
gress in spite of Just such efforts.
About four years ago it occurred to
oto to try stimulation with a view
of rendering the tissues resistant.
Thin was attempted in 1901 on a
couple thousand trees, with good re-
sults. and was repeated and other

CAill: Ole TICE ORCHARD.
Some of my neighbors have s
great deal of trouble with their or-
chards, writes Mr. 'leery Hater.
Some winter -kill, others sutler on ac-
count of wet seasons, others are hurt
by droldie while many trees aro de-
stroyed by rabbits and meadow tnic•o
in the winter. This last injury id
most severe where there is a heat',
t.-nowfull or where growers use heavy
coverings of straw around their
young trees. One of my neighbors
lost his whole orchard a few years
ago by allowing sod to g'ruw around
his trees and mulching with light
straw manure which had been used
for bedding the horses.
Sovon years ago this spring I
planted 1,000 apple, pear, peach and
pluut trees. Up to the present time
1 have not lost a single tree from
any of the causes mentioned above.
I have all sorts of land and coali-
tions in my orchard. some being
some low, some wet, some dry, Immo
clay soil and some black. All my
trees are healthy. '1'o overcome the
adverse conditions 1n wet seasons,

The collar is a thing a horse must
wear n1 day, when at work. Not
only that, he must pull against that
collar all the tante while doing his
work; so it should fit the shoulders
as perfectly as possible.
IL is easy to make n horse's shoul-
ders sore in a very short time if he
is compelled to wear a poorly -fitting
collar.
For the morning feed for heavy
work horses, give ono quart of Eno -
laws. diluted with three quarts of
water, mixed with one quart of oat-
meal and two traits of wheat hran,
anti from five to six pontis of cut
hay. At noon give four quarts of
oats. At night give the same ra-
tion ns in the morning, with the ad-
dition of n little long hay in rho
manger.
