Trunin the Tree.
The murderous work of ignorance in
the direction of pruning trees, costs the
fruit grower a vast deal of money. It
is the theory of ignorance that a fruit
tree must have about so much surgery
performed upon it whether there is any
reii-ton for it or not. Het.ween pruning
too little and pruning too much the
orchards of the country have been
greatly injured during the last fifty
years. AVe have seen men cut off large
limbs of I'riiit trees without the slight
est apparent purpose., except to do
about bo much pruning. A limb should
never he removed from a fro t tree un
less there is a well delinded, intelligent
purpose, any more than the limb of a
person should be removed without, a
necessity existing for ils removal. The
reckless manner m which some peop
prune is no a par wilh the. action of
surgeon who should insist on cutting off
a human limb every now and then, up
on the theory that a limb should hi
amputated about so often anyhow
When trees are small, before they come
into full bearing, they may be judicious
ly pruned, lint a full grown tree
should never lose a limb unless there is
a well defined necessity for doing it. Jt
was pretty dillicult work to induce
people years ago to prune to the extent
that pruning was demanded. We can
remember when we were boys (hat an
orchard was set out and left to itself.
iietween a lack ot judicious pruning
and a neglect to fertilize, the orchards
wore out long before there was any
necessity of their doing so. Hut in this
ago of intelligence and of the import
unco of orcharding, there should be a
happy medium between butchering out
trees and letting them run wild. It
may sometimes be desirable lo remove
a limb of a tree that causes inconven
ience, but with the exception of pro
perly pruning young trees, the man
who is determined to do a lot of prun
ing every year upon the supposition
that lie is doing a scientific horticultur
al work, ought to be restrained in some
way.

Joseph Meeliau is reported in a con
temporary that credils the iirtic'e to
exchange, to have said that it is never
wise lo let, the trees bear fruit while
still quite young and should they (low
er and fruit, then the fruit should be
taken oil iefore it gams any size. Hut
it sometimes happens that the reverse
of this is the case, and trees which are
well grown and should bear fruit do
not do so. It is then that the skill of
the fruit grower comes into play, and
hp used his art and prunes for fruit.
Pruning may be of the branches or of
the root -i, and both may be done to pro
duce fruit. Jt must be understood that
when a tree is growing fast it will not
rait . To ch Vk the growth is ;i step to
wards fruiting, and this is what prun
ing is for. A tree in rich ground will
i;ro'.v larger and be longer coming into
bearing tluu one in poor soil. This is
why wiiii tht- sr.nie variety of tree one
man may have fruit from his tree, long
Ivfore his neighbor does -the soil dif
fers in richness. There is no use in
waiting long after time for a tree to
bear, any more than there is to have
one bear too early. Keeping iu mind
that a too fast growing tree must be
checked in its growth to make it fruit
ful, root pruning is the thing to do to
accomplish it. The earth should bv
dug away until some of the larger roots
are exposed, and these should he chop
ped away.
There is no need to check it too
severely, as a loss of a large portion ot
its roots would do. .v cutting away ol
one-fourth will probably be ample.
This process rarely fails lo cause llower
buds to form, lf done iu spring or
summer, buds will form for tlie season.
Sometimes Summer pruning of tlie
branches will have the sanm effect. The
cutting off of the ends of grouingslioots
is done while the sap is still active, and
where cut, llower buds will often form
This way will do where some fruit is
looked for to test a sort, but it is some
times at the expense, of the shape of
the tree, and is not to be recommended
as so good a way as that of root pruning.

Captain,!. Iloben, commander of the
Lloyd steamer Neckar, has written
to the (iernian marine observatory in
Hretnen that when he was off Skota, on
Sept. 1, at It p. ni., the sea suddenly
became an even milk white luminous
color, which at times seemed to llame
up from the depths of the 'water like
the increased glow of an electric lamp
when the current grows too strong.
Xo bottom was found when the lead
was sunk, and at 10 p. in. the sharp
edge between the bright and the dark
water was reached. After twenty live
minutes quite bright .water again
appeared, and after 11 p. m. it decreased.
The next night the phenomenon was
observed to be still more intense but
after that it was not again met with.
The appearance had nothing in common
with the usual phosphorescence of the
sett.
During its presence the horizon was
everywhere distinctly visible, except
where at various changing points on
tlie horizon tlie light seemed to shine
brightly at which time a thin haze
seemed lo lie on the water. London

three Methodist ministers from Pitts
burg, liev. W. II. Pearce, 1). I)., Hey.
r. S. Leak, I). 1)., and Itev, J. A. Hal-
Untyne.
X early two mouths ago, when the
party, bound homeward, reached the
Mediterranean sea they boarded a ves
sel at Alexandretta, a small town on the
Syrian coast. It is over eight thousai;
miles from Pittsburg. Some oflieial of
the levee followed the gentlemen on
board, and going up to Itev. Dr. Pearca
handed him a small hand bible. The
man explained that it had been left there
by some jierson years before, and as it
would probably be sadly missed by its
owner it had been carefully preserved
at Alexandretta, awaiting the visit of
other Pittsburgers to carry it back to
its owner's home.
So Dr. Pearce was requested to place
tlie book in the hands of the right man
at Pittsburg. He brought it home with
him. The volume is one of theold -fash
toned Polyglot bibles, w hich are quite
rare now. On its fly-leaf is written in
lead pencil: "John I!. Semple, Pitts
burg, December, 181 !." The name is re
peated on the next page. The three
clergymen, being new to Pittsburg, did
not recognize this particular name, al
though they knew there were several
families of the Semples in this city.
Frank Semple, who attends to the ad
ministration of the estate of the late
"William Thaw, is a son of the gentle
man alluded to, and a reporter carried
the bible to Ids office on Fourth avenue
yesterday. As soon as it was shown him
ho recognized it. "For years it lay in
our family pew at the Third Presby
terian church," he said. "It was given
father by a gentleman who became a
missionary among the Choctaw Indians
lie prized it highly, as we used it every
Sabbath at church. "When I was a boy I
used to read the text out, of this same
book in i-crch. Welt do 1 rer.iembei
it." '
Mr. Semple is now a gray-haired gen
tleman. His father died in 1ST". The
bible was missed a good many years ago,
but as it was simply used for church pur.
poses no search was made for it.
"IJut your father carried it abroad
with him, suggested the reporter.
"Xo, he never went abroad," replied
the gentleman. "I have not the remot
est idea how the biblo turned up 8,0d0
miles away from Pittsburg. I can form
no conception how it got that far away.
Certain it is?, though, 1 am glad lo get it
back again. It recalls very vividly my
father, and my own boyhood days."
Why Coffee li Adulterated.
The main reason for the adultera
tion of coffee is that there is not enough
of it to go around. Mocha now sells
at the highest price ever known, which
is about 25 cents a pound in large
quantities for the green bean. Pure
Java sells for 23 cents a pound and pure
Ilio for 14) cents a pound. These are
very high prices and the supply of the
best grades is limited. The temptations
to adulteration are now therefore at
the highest. Some low grade iira.il
coffee was recently sold at 1 1 cents a
pound, and, when that comes lo be
doctored by the grinders, the coffee part
of tlie product will be small. There is
wide differenci between 3T cents
a pound and 10 cents. Jt is a difference
between the pure article and the adult
erated Xew York Sun.

"I .still live." These lire Ihe dying
words of Duniel AVcbsler mid the identi
cal words used by a friend of mine whom
I met on the street coming from one of the
depols. He went on to tell me how timid
ho was about riding in sleeping-cars, and
then got to talking about the new way of
making up the beds on those gilded fun
end pyres. "Home years ago," he said,
"they used to make up those beds with
the feel to the engine, which was very ap
propriate, for Hint is the way coffins arc
always carried. But of late they have
laken lo making up these beds with the
head to the engine. This is infernal, you
know. Iu cast; of a collision you are sure
to break your neck. A jar that would
simply double you up a little if your feel
were put forward, will snao your cervical
vertebra if your head is put' forward. The
porters say they have strict orders to make
up the beds that way, and give, as the r a
son, that the body is more protected fro ,
drafts in Unit position. Hut the companies
must bo very green if they think no one
will get on lo that racket. The explana
tion of tin's little caper is that when a pas
senger gets killed, the law limits the dam
age to $5,000, while if begets crippled, the
company may have to nay" $23,000."
"German
Syrup
Here is something from Mr. Frank
j A. Hale, proprietor of the De Witt
j House, revision, and the Tontine
Hotel, Brunswick, Me. Hotel men
meet Hie world as it comes and goes,
and are not slow in sizing people
and things up for what they are
worth. He says that he has lost a
father and several brothers and sis
ters from Pulmonary Consumption,
and is himself frequently troubled
with colds, and he
Hereditary often coughs enough
to make him sick at
Consumption's stomach. When
ever he has taken a
cold of this kind he uses Boschee's
German Syrup, and it cures him
every time. Here is a man who
knows the full clanger of lung trou
bles, and would therefore be most
particular as to the medicine he used.
What is his opinion ? Listen! "I
use nothing but Boschee's German
Syrup, and have advised, I presume,
more than a hundred different per
sons to take it. They agree with
me that it is the best cough syrup
in the market."
