Young Troei Should Bo Protootod
From Injury by Rabbiti.
Young orelmnl trees tthoiild bo pro
tected from niblillH for one or two
)am after the' buve been net lu the
urclinrd. Any imiterlul thnt wruM
tight about the trunk of the tree must
be removed In early HprlnK. Screen
wire, veneer wood or cornHtalkB may
lie bound loosely about the trunk of
the tree and may lie left on for two
or three years. This does not Injure
the tree, on Is frequently supposed, by
forming a harbor for Insects. The in
sects that work on the trunk of the
tree do not seek protection In audi
places, but, on tbe contrary, usually
attack trees thnt have the trunk or
larger limbs badly sunburned or mm
scalded.
Tho Beit Material.
Kor this reason the use of wood tree
protectors or wrapping with cornstalks
und material of that kind seems to
give the best satisfaction of auy ma
terial used. The cornstalks cun be
easily prepared by cutting the BtalkB
with a knife anil sticking one end of
the stalk In the ground and tying the
tops close to tho top of tho trunk of
tho tree. Ity using the stalks lu this
way a perfect protection can bo form
ed for the tree and one thnt will lust
for two or three years and llnally fall
; away of decay without any Injury to
the tree. It Is as Important to protect
the trunk of tho trees during the sum
mer as It Is during the winter.
Throughout the Year.
The rabbits Injure the trees In the
winter and the hot sun and borers dur
ing tho summer. Trees thnt are well
protected from the sun seldom suffer
badly from the effect of borers, and
or tills reiiHou it is evident that the
protection that will shield the tree
from t lie sun and last two or three
years Is an Ideal protection to use

A Beautiful Apple.

Trifles.
The world is composed of trifles. The
nerve of a tooth, finer than u cambric
needle, nearly drove Napoleon Bona
parte to distraction and uctually caus
ed the mighty Caesar to lose a 'jattle.
A mosquito can drive an elephant
i crazy. A mouse call tease a lion to
I death. The reef which sinks a navy
' Is tiie work of a tiny worm. The war
' rlor that walks up to the cannon's
I mouth and faces death In a thousand
forms is killed by an Insect Small
pleasures make up the sum of human
happiness. The deepest wretchedness
often results from a perpetual contin
uance of petty pains. A single look
from ooe you love produces exquisite
pain or unalloyed pleasure. The Urst
glass of wine that was drunk led to all
the horrors, miseries and crimes that
hare sprung from drunkenness and
darkened the earth for centuries.

' Phantom Hounds.
Conan Doyle's "Hound of the Bas
kerrlllqs," a "fearsome animal," is said
to . harp its origin In the legends of
packs ipf spectral hounds which are
popnlar'Mn various part of England
and Wales. In tbe north of England
these apparitions are known as "Ga
briel's hounds," in Deron the "Wlsk."
"Test" or "Heath hounds." in Wales
"Cron Annwn" or "Cwn Wyblr" and
In Cornwall the "Devil'i Dandy dogs."
They are supposed to be evil spirits
hunting the souls of the dead. Gener
ally they are only heard and seem to
be passing swiftly along In tbe air, as
they usually choose cloudy nights for
the pursuit of their prey. Their yelp
ing Is suid to be terrific, resembling
tbe note of a bloodhound. All of which
tends to show that the origin of these
legends of goblin hounds Is to be found
In the terrifying noises made by flocks
of wild geese.
Tho Ancient Law of Deodand.
"Deodond" means literally "to be
given to God," and the original Idea
wos that any Inanimate object causing
the denth of n human being was to be
sold and tho proceeds disbursed In
charity. In practice the sum so real
ized was always hnnded over to the
next or Kin or trie person k eu. . a h1(1 jt.el ,,11S.,,-., r,,,- and re
call ran over a child and killed it the tm.ueil ,, u.u. ,.,, f , ,.Xp,,io
vohleio was forthwith sold, and the ' . , ,
- ....
parents of the Utile victim received the
proceeds of the sale. The only draw
back to the scheme was that the object
causing death might be comparatively
valueless. It was this Inequality which
was mainly responsible for the aboli
tion of tho statuto of dcodund in 184(1.

Gave It Up.
A friend of the writer recently made
applb ation fur 11 public appointment In
a small Scottish town, and, thlnklna
that his chanres of success .would b
greater by a little judicious canvass
ing, lie resolved to call upon a few of
:i;e town eoiiurliors. lu wliose hand
the appointment lay. (if ie civic dlg
lilli'.ries' position in private life be
know nothing. Journeying to the town
hi question, be hired a cub at the rail
way station and requested the Jehu
to take him to Councilor ltisset's. the
treasurer. Tbe councilor was found
lu his blacksmith's shop shoeing n
horse.
"I'll see somebody of more impoi
tiiuce than this, anyhow," said tho can
didate to himself, and. turning to the
driver, he said. "Drive 1110 to Councilor
Muitlaud's otlice."
The cabman thereupon drove bltu to
the local Joiner's shop. This was
worse even than the smithy, and In
despair he ejaculnted:
"Drive uie to Councilor Gray's."
"1 urn Councilor Cirtiy. sir." replied
the cabman.
The answer staggered the candidate.
He quietly paid his fare and disap
peared, mini veil to leave his fate lu

When Life Was Little Valued.
The 2J3 capital offenses which the
old English Inw recognized as punish

and with the abolition of the death
penalty for all crimes but murder

where else all over the world where
the death penalty has been modified,
lessoned markedly, notes the Boston
Traveler.
