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. M. A Iloyt in

ACCIDENTS IN ART.
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.

EASY TO CURE CATARRH.
Just Breathe in Hyomei, the Dry Air
That Kills the Germs.
You can do exactly what G. J.
Sterers did by using Hyomei. Read

of the Inhalent sufficient to produce a
complete cure. 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.

A TRYING LANGUAGE.
The Study of Jpne Is Surrounded
by Di ffioult lee.
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.

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

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

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.
