THE MORNING ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. TIIfTHSDAY, MAY 21,1008 11 1 I Fruit and Flowers I PEACH GROWING. 6oms Points on Spraying, Trimming and Grubbing For Borers. Before the peach buds start In the spring a spraying with the bordeaux r copper sulphate mixture for fungi must be given; then Immediately aft r the petals fall the bordeadx-parls green mixture Is used as an Insecticide. Additional benefit Is derived from suc cessive applications of the same at in tervals of ten days or two weeks. Peach trees must be grubbed for bor ers In the spring and again in the fall. Trimming is never to be omitted. It ' Involves the shearing out of a multi tude of last year's shoots and the cut ting back oue-thlrd or more of all the remaining growth, aiming ever at a low, open, symmetrical head. After the trees have arrived at bearing age the trimming should be done late in May or early June to facilitate the formation of fruit buds due at this time. Clean cultivation, followed by the cover crop, as employed the first season, Is practiced ever afterward. Crops In ths Orchard. While for the first year or two hoed I crops may be raised in the peach or chard, they are no advantage to the trees. Thinning is in order before the pit develops. Fruits should be left aot closer than eight to ten inches apart High, dry ground Is selected for a peach orchard. A southern exposure Is liable to hasten the swelling of buds in the warm days of early spring, only to be blighted by following low temperature. Consequently a north ern slope, on which growth Is retard ed, less frequently proves disappoint ing. Trees attacked by incurable dis eases like yellows or little peach must promptly be dug up and burned, root and branch, to prevent further infec tion. In our section of Michigan the fol lowing varieties In the order of ma turing their fruit constitute the cream of the multitudinous list offered by the various nurserymen: Davidson or early Michigan, Triumph or Wark, En gel's Mammoth, Kalamazoo, Elberta, Crosby, New Prolific, Engel's Improv ed Chile, Markham Chile, Banner, Gold Drop and Salway.

The variety here shown Is a pure white, Is generally hardy except In extreme northern lati tudes and is most effective standing alone or with a background of dark MAGNOLIA ICLAN. leafage. The plant reaches a consid erable height when fully grown, says Mew England Homestead. The flow ers are large and often six inches across. It blooms in April and May.

Plie Ruin of a Burne-Jnes and the Mending of a 'Turner. A very curious history Is that of Burne-Jones favorite picture, "Love Among the IUiIus," writes. M. II. Spiel mann in the London Graphic. The orig inal picture was In water color and was sent to Paris by a firm of art pub lishers for reproduction and iu that city forwarded -to their photographic studios in the suburbs. The picture unhappily preceded the letter of In struetions regarding It warning the (luotographer of the medium In which it was painted, so that Immediately on its arrival it was brushed over with white of egg to bring out the colors for photographlng-an excellent proce dure in the case of oil pictures, harm less and very efficacious. But as to ttio Burne-Jones picture, Love was very soon among his own ruins, for every swish of the brush brought off the final touches and left a mere smeared ground. Sir Edward Burne-Jones was heartbroken at the loss of a work on which his reputation, he considered, would In great measure rest and on which be had spent many months of patient toil and the very perfection of his execution la the realization of one of the most poetic conceptions that had sprung from his fanciful Imagination. "Love Among the Ruins" was paint ed during the years 1870-3. In October, 1893, it was destroyed, and by the fol lowing year the oil version was finish ed, but was scarcely a consolation to the artist for the loss of his first and more spontaneous work. Incidents of this sort are happily not of frequent occurrence, but one case has come within my knowledge which has never, I believe, been recorded. A wealthy connoisseur,- with a roomful of beautiful Turner drawings, was in the habit of Instructing a firm well known as honorable picture dealers to overhaul his drawings, but his Turners had not for some time been touched, and the glasses had become much dark ened with dust. On his leaving town the senior member of the firm went to his bouse and brought away the pre cious drawings and, carrying them Into the room behind the shop, took the first drawing out of its frame and mount preparatory to dusting it and laid it on the table. Being suddenly called into the shop by a customer, he covered it with a sheet of Whatman paper and left It His brother entered from the street and passed into the pri vate room. A moment later the other followed and found him, knife in band, cutting a mount on the top of the Tur ner. With a cry, he rushed to the paper and lifted it, and there the horrified brothers found 'Uie 2,000 guinea draw tag cut into two pieces. What was to be done? To a-ike a clean breast of It was apparently out of the question, so it was determi-ied to call in the clever artist and repairer attached to the firm, and he Joined the pieces and remounted the drawing, nnd down where the ver tical cut was he boldly painted in a tree! The picture was in due course taken back avd rehung In time for the owner's retufa. A couple of days later came an urgei.t letter calling the dealer to the house. "Look at this drawing," said the collector. "What does it mean? There's a tree here. 1 never saw that tree before!" "No more did I," quietly replied the dealer. "I told you that you would hardlt recognize the drawings when the gl.:-ses had been cleaned in side and out. Why, you could hardly see them!" The owner, though still astonished, excepted the explanation and to this Jay has probably never guessed the 4 ruth. The dealer told the story himself shortly before his death.

I now take pleasure in recommending thi remedy to all sufferers from catarrh." G. J. Sterers, Crown City, Ohio. ' We don't simply say Hyomei will cure catarrh, but we say that T. F; Laurin, the druggist, guarantees it to cure catarrh, or money back. He does more he guarantees it to cure asth ma, bronchitis, hay fever, coughs and colds. A complete Hyomei outfit, in cluding inhaler, costs only $1.00, and extra bottles, if you afterwards need one, will cost but 50 cents. Hyomei is a pleasant dry air treatment. You just breathe it in, and as it passes over the inflamed membrane, it kills the germs of catarrh, and allays 'all inflammation. Would you give twenty-five cents to stop your cough?

Japanese 4n not nn easy language even for the native born subject of th mikado, but It Is very ditflcult of ac quirement by tho westerner. Give Hol land In his book, "Old aud New Ja pan," d-s not give foreigners any encourngi'.nent that they will ever be able really to icani tho language. It takes n .litpnncso child seven years, It Is said, to learn the essential parts of the Japaueso ulphabet. To use a Japa nese dictionary, Mr. Holland says, one must he familiar with uo fewer than 214 signs, which may bo said to serve the same purporo as initial letters lu American dictionaries. Then after one has tracked dowu In ono of these 211 signs some part of the character for which he la about to undertake au ex ploration he still has a veritable north pole hunt ahead of him. The pompous first pcrsoual pronoun is avoided whenever It Is possible In speaking Japanese. If It must be used It Is introduced 'casually, but generally the abstract mum "selfishness" serves In Its stead. 1'or example, a Japanese would not say "I don't drink wine," but "Wine Con't drink," or. If this Is not clear enough, "Selfishness wine don't drink." Reference to one's own possessions must be depreciatory. Thus If a man wishes to point out his own residence he says, "Thnt miserable house," which, of course, could refer to no other than bis own. On the oth er hand, "That beautiful house" would easily Identify the house as belonging to some oue else. Moreover, nny one who wishes to learn Japanese must be prepared to learn two languages, the written and the spoken. The one differs so ma terially from the other that if a Japa nese Is reading a book or newspaper and wishes to do so aloud It becomes necessary Tor him to translate the written words Into the colloquial. To be able to read auy of the higher class Japanese newspapers, Mr. Holland says, It Is necessary to master at least from 2.5PO to ".000 Ideographs. He Held on to His Knife. On the a'fternoou of June 1, 1S72. an old painter named William McCul lough while painting the bridge above the falls between the first and second Sister islands fell into the rapids. In stantly be was swept furiously toward the cataract, but whirled Into lesser waves, so that be struck against and seized a rock not far above the brink. Hundreds quickly gathered on the shore and watched, air eager to help, but Ignorant what to do. Among them was Thomas Conroy, who secured a coll of rope, fastened one end to a tree on shore and with the other end In his hand waded out as far as be could and occasionally swam, the wa ter being from eighteen inches to six feet deep. He aimed far up stream to allow for the power of the current and at last with great difficulty reached tho unfortunate painter and bound him to himself with the rope. They were swept off their feet several tunes on the way back to shore, but the rope had been firmly fastened, . and they finally landed safely. When they reached shore It was found that Mc- Cullough still clutched his putty knife firmly in his hand, having held It dnr rag the three hours he had been on the brink of the fails. Dublin Bootblacks, 1780. Among the populace of Dublin In 17S0 tho shoeblacks were a numerous and formidable body. The polish they used was lampblack and eggs, for which they purchased all that were rot ten in the markets. Their implements consisted of a three legged stool, a bas ket containing a blunt knife called a spud, a painter's brush and an old wig. A gentleman usually went out In the morning with dirty boots or shoes, sure to find a shoeblack sitting on bis stool at the corner of the street The gentleman put his foot in the lap of the shoeblack without ceremony, and the artist scraped It with his spud, wiped it with his wig and then laid on his composition as thick as black paint with his painter's brush. The stuff dried with a rich polish, requiring no friction and little inferior to the elab orated modern fluids, save only the In tolerable odors exhaled from eggs in a high state of putridity, which filled any house which was entered before the composition was quite dry and sometimes even tainted tho air of fash ionable drawing rooms. Polishing shoes, we should mention, was at this time a refinement almost confined to cities, people In the country using grease.
