tumorous department. The Laziest Man Alive.?In an English country village there has just been buried the laziest man alive. Lazy Tom would do nothing iu the shape of work. The village folk, getting tired of him, determinded to make him work or bury him ulive. Accordingly they procured a rough-made coffin, and the leader of the party explained to Tom their intentions. Torn refused to work, so without more ado they put him into the coffiu, formed a procession, and started for the burying-ground. After going some distance, a cotta- 1 ger, seeing the "funeral," and nothav- ' ing heard of a death, aaked who it was. On beiug told who it was, she requested the party to give Tom one more chance. The coffin was put down, and the i cottager said : "Now, look here, Tom ; I have got a lot of beans in my shed, euough to keep you alive for awhile. You cau have , them, and when they are gone, per- ( haps you will feel inclined to work." "What do you say to that ?" said the j leader of the party. "Be the beans shelled ?" drawled out . Tom. "No," said the cottager. I Closing his eyes, Tom murmured, "Go on with the funeral." Unconvinced.?Many and strange are the iuuoceut sophistries of childhood in gaining its point. How quick- ; ly they learu even to distrust the evi dences of their senses! A little girl who was addicted to a prodigal use of ! sugar upon her oatmeal, had been put 1 11 1 upon an allowance ui a icoauuauic number of spoonfuls. Oue moruing she had been given the 1 specified quantity, but presently asked, : "Mamma, may I have just oue spoou- < ful more?" "No, dear." ? "By-und-by some oue noticed that I the little girl was sitting sulkily before her untasted plate, and inquired, i "Why don't you eat your oatmeal, Kitty ?" I "I can't; it isn't sweet enough." | "Nonsense !" said mamma. "Don't , be a little fuss-budget. Try a spoou- . ful and you'll like it." "But if you only knew how sour it is!" said Kitty, tragically. Mamma good-naturedly took a . spoouful. ' "Eat it immediately, dear," she said, 1 with decision. "It tastes quite sweet enough." Kilty obediently took up her spoon, ' but she had one more remark to make: . "It may taste sweet," she said, resignedly, "but, mamma, it isn't sweet." Only a Little Correction.? ( "Here is a poem which you may pub- 1 lish in your paper," said a man, with 1 eyes in a fine frenzy rolling, as he en- 1 tered the editorial door. "I dashed it ofl' rapidly, in an idle moment, and ' if ir* ifo rrvlUrK cfoto flC it ( Juu "uu 11 *" were. You can make such corrections as you think necessary." uAh, much obliged," said the editor. "I will give you a check for it at once." "You are very kind," said the contributor, "I shall be delighted." "There you are," said the editor, handing him the check. "Many thanks!" exclaimed the young man, I will bring you some other poems.,' When he got near the door he suddenly paused ; then he came back. "Excuse me," he said, "but you forgot to fill up the check. You have not written the date nor the amount, nor have you signed your name." "O," said the editor, "that is all right. You see I have given you a t check in its rough state, as it were. , You can make such corrections as ( you thiuk necessary." An Exasperated Landlord.?A * tale comes from the Nutmeg State of j a man who traveled much and was j well knowu^vherever he went by , hotel men antrothers as a "proverbial j kicker." Nothing was ever good enough or had enough, hot enough or cold enough, rich enough or poor 1 enough for him. One day he went to 1 one of the best hotels in the State and 1 put up for the night. His fame had *r preceded him, and the landlord gave ; orders to high and low to serve him ' with the best, aud to wait on him with alacrity, ms wisnes were an antici- i pated that night, and he went to bed t as happy as a man like him could he ! with uothing to growl about. In the ? morning extra pains were taken with c his breakfast, after which the landlord 1 went and inquired if everything was all right, adding that he trusted his u breakfast had heen satisfactory. 1 "Well, it was fair," admitted the t guest, "but I like a breakfast to be hot. t This wasn't hot euough." i "Very well, sir," responded the exasperated landlord, "we have doue our | best for you. There is, however, only | one place so hot your breakfast would ^ be sure to please you. You'd better ? go there." And walked off. ^ Thk Doctor Got Even.?"That j horrid little Bimley boy !" exclaimed Dora, pouring tea ; "he was just as insulting to Dr. Graver as he could be." 1 "What did he do?" f "Why, the doctor was walking {l quietly along, anil, meeting Willie, put J his hand on his head, and said, 'How I do you do, Willie?' just as nice ; and f that boy up and made the horridest ' face, and stuck his tongue out at the doctor and said, 'Yah !

These are the nature of the ^ tree itself aud the soil in which it is to " grow aud prosper. The tree is fastened to the earth by a system of roots, - which have penetrated the ground in ' all directions, forming an unseen uetwork of rootlets, through which the 3 moisture of the earth, bearing in minute ? solution the ingredients indispensable to plant life. The contact of roots ; and ground is firm and strong, enabling ! the tree to withstand the trying influences of the surrounding atmosphere, I whether a heated sunshine or a howl. ing wind. ? Remove a tree from this normal 0011I dition, its physical relation to the ^ ground is severed, a loss of roots is sustained, and' its chance of future life is sorely dependent on the speedy '?C *Vm oumn nhvcinul imnrlt. IC51UJUUUII Ui IUV ouujv f'J M,VM * vv..M. ' tions. This explains why so mau\ ' newly planted trees are doomed to perish, if no regard is paid to these indispensable conditions. 3 It can readily he understood how important it is to save the roots that 1 accident has left to the tree from being bruised, dried up or frozen out. It i will likewise he seen at a glance that ' the contact of soil and roots must he > restored as far as possible to its former condition. No item, however, is more i generally disregarded in tree planting . thau the rational necessity of setting . the ground as tightly around the root.as possible. From this cause arise the . greatest majority of failures. The , earth is shoveled loosely around the . tree, trampled a little with the toe end of the shoe, anil the air can penetrate in all directions where the roots should , be hermetically sealed to the ground. A copious rain after planting, satu, rating the earth with water, will do the work neglected by the planter. If this timely rain fails to materialize, 1 then the tree must uecessarily sutler? j often die. We say, therefore, set your ' trees firmly and tightly into the ground, pack the soil with your heel, a stick or pounder. If the weather sets in dry after planting, repeat the pounding around the tree, to expel, as far as pos1 sihle, the dry air, which otherwise will 1 penetrate into the soii. Tight pluntiug is the only safety to I success in planting of evergreen trees, I more so by far than with leafless trees. To the evergreen the interaction of sap , and leaves is constant, while in deciduous trees it is suspended to the greati est extent at planting time. Set your evergreens as tightly as you do your fence posts; do not depend on your boots to do this work, but take a regu( lar pounder. If the ground is dry, pour in sufficient of water to puddle , the ground around the roots, and in a day or two do- the pounding by hand and stick. Where no water can he had in sufficient quantity, make up the difference by so much more pounding. Do Not Take the Baby's Hand.? How many mothers realize the injury they are doing their children by holding their hand as they walk? You see a little tot of 18 months or 2 years with its little hand and arm lifted high above its head to hold the hand of some grown person, sometimes one sit either hand, and the poor little cresiture, in this unnatural position, with a I strain on the heart muscles, to say nothing of the arms, is dragged along the street, and if that were not enough, the child with its tiny feet and legs to . keep up with the pace of the parents or nurse, who never realize how many steps the little feet liave to take to their one. Let any grown person see how long he could walk with his anus raised higher than his head, without hurrying, and then let hira try being dragged along at full speed by some giant, four times his own size. I am afraid few could endure the strain more than a few minutes. And yet I daily see mothers scolding their little children for crying at being dragged long distances in this barbarous manlier. Children who can walk at all should he allowed to walk alone or holding the hand of some other child near their own size. It is better for them in every way, and will save many a crying fit caused by over strain of the nerves and muscles.?Ex. The Breeding Sow.?A sow should he kept in a good thrifty condition whether she farrows t wo litters or one. is no occasion at, auv time in making her fat. Liberal feeding, with good development of bone and muscle, is what she needs and must have if the most is made out of her. The amount of her ration can always be best determined by her condition. Il she is an animal worth keeping as a breeder, she can be bred to farrow a litter of pigs in the latter part of September or early in October and another in March or April, and with good treatmeut she will keep this up several years aud her pigs improve instead of deteriorate. The cost is always to be considered. One of the surest ways of increasing the profits is by lessening the cost of production so far as it is possible to do without lowering the quality of the product.?Southern Live Stock Journal.
