Rosenberg A Co. an<J others here rnDoui Hi*? interested in pinn'iii? ;ruu orchards. They have bought several thousand trees and are now making arrangement* to have them net in the ground Mr. Lewis! J-ieksou Is preparing to plant a largn number j of trees. These trees are Intended to raise fruit to be shipped abroad to the markets. The proper time to set out trees Is not In | November, ns recommended by the cata'j logues. From the standpoint of the nursery-! HBy men November U the time t.est suited for! selling trees. The reason November is the W ''best time'* for selling trees may be found in | the fact th'*t the farmers have more money In November than they have in .March, when the trees om;lit to he bought and set In the earth, Instead of In November. - Tbe trees of course do not grow between H November and March. If planted In NovemH her they Jle doruient until Spring, and If they escape accident during the winter they may perish before tbe spring time. Tbe reason able and sensible thing to do Is not to disturb tbe scions until after tbe winter freeze are over, and until such time when the sap may berlslDg. Wben tbe buds of a tree begin to swell, then Is the time to reset It. ' But of course any old time will suit us. If the twig which lies dorment all winter should escape the attention of a hungry cow, and not perish or freeze It may live through the W1UICI. xi nu, IIO giuniu la ncii , auu ? aboat one year's time may be Bet down an lost.

Sphinx OisapiMNirintr. j The marvelous way in which the monuments of the past have been preserved in Egypt is due ehielly to its rainless climate. For agos the regions 1 of the Lower Nile were watered solej ly by the river, and beyond the limits of its annual overflow the ground was I perfectly dry. The tins left i>y Napoleon's army lay on the sand for nearly [a century, bright and unrusted. I?ut the climate of Egypt h gradually champing. Extensive tree plantitiK has gont; on for a long time past, the irrigation works have produced moist and fertile land where formerly stretched the barren desert. Thus ruin ik irrMihui 11 V hcillir attracted. Htloi while u few years ago a shower was a novelty, there are now considerable falls of rain. The effect is seen in the crumbling of the Great Sphinx at Gizeh, near the Great Pyramid. This vast monument is 172A 'eet in length au<i ofJ feet high, hewn out of a projecting! spur of the rock which iim-s out fit (tie sand. The head is sculptured, and represents a woman in the old Egyptian headdress, the body being that of a lion, formed by the natural reef of porphyry, with additions of masonry to complete the shape. For more than a generation the monument has been more or less defaced owing largely to the attention of early tourists and the nose has long been absent. But now the rain is begin niug to assist iu destroying the Sphinx. The wet softens the surface of the stoue, aud fierce sand storms then griud the outer surface away. The Great Sphinx ia not the only one of that kind; numerous specimens great aud small, haviug been found among the remains of Egyptian, Assyrian, and Grecian art. The older Egyptian Sphinxes were wingless, like that of Gizeh, but there were many others which had wings. Some of the heads were female, others bearded, and there were Sphinxes with the head of a hawk or a ram. From the earliset times there has beeuspeculatiou as to the meaning of this curious symbolic figure. The name "Sphinx" was given to it by the Greeks and means literally "The Strangler." From the fact that Sphinxes appear commonly on aucient tombs, and are represented as treadiug on or carrying away a man or child, there seems some reason to believe that the figure was first intended as a symbol of death, but other explanations have been given which may hold good of Sphinxes made in later times. Thus the liou's body aud mau's head have been held to symbolize the combination of strength and intellect iu some divinity, and the Sphinx has also been taken as denoting the resurrection. A chanel aud altar found early in the last century in front of the Great Sphinx would suggest that the figure represented an ancieut deity. The Greeks, while continuing to represent the Sphinx in their art, had a story with regard to it which was evidently only a poetical fuble, and showed that the real meaning of the figure was lost. The story was that on a rocky mountain near Thebes dwelt a creature with the face of a virgin, the body of a lion, the wings of a bird, and the tail of a serpent, which had been given a riddle by the Muses, and bad power to destroy and devour mankind till the riddle was solved. Every traveler failing to solve the riddle was devoured, and this was the riddle ; "What creature is it that goes ou four legs at daybreak, on two at noon, and on three at night?" Finally O'Edipus solved the riddle saying man was the creature, for as a baby he crawled, in his prime he walked, and in his old age he hobbled along with a staff. On heaVing the answer the Sphinx threw herself from ner rocKy mountain anu was Kmeu. The Sphinx continued for many centuries a favorite subject of art, and is found on coins, in relief sculptures and a decoration of arms and furniture. Seaboard Air Line Railway.
