By skillful handling, is developed into a. fine plantI and grew so satisfactorily that Walter could not resist the temptation of calculating how maog young “Laings” he would have the following spring. One day in July '87. Mr. Uoles met Mr. John Burton, and the sulject oame up in con- versation as to how many young rose plants could be raised from one stock plant inane season. I forget how many Mr. Burton said he thought it was possible to raise. but Mr. Coles very emphatically asserted that he could raise 550 by the fol- lowing April (1888). This was just as vigorously disputed until a wager Was proposedâ€"a champagne supper for those presentâ€"which was accepted and put on record. The plant continued to improve, and as the time for operation approached, atocke suitable for grafting had to be secured, for there was no restrictions as to how the propagating should he done, either by grafting, budding or on own roots. After some slight: difficulty the necessary number of Manetti stocks were obtained, and on December 24 the first lot of plants were grafted, amounting in number to some» thing less than 180 ; mean of them grew and made a rapid growth. In the follow- ing February these plants yielded a num- ber of anionsâ€"considerably over 1,000~â€"and on the day specified, namely, April 15, 1888, Mr. Coles had the extreme satisfaction of pointing out to the referee, Mr. John Weet~ 00th, upwards of thirteen hundred plants fit to ship to any point in this country. A good many horticultural prejudices, brought: over from the old country, have died out: during the past 30 years, and oth- ers are following. It was some time before root grafting the apple was looked upon as quite a proper proceeding; while for pears and all the stone fruits budding was univer- sal. In is not a great while since those who root grafted their apples w< uld cut them back to a strong bud near the ground the second season, merely to give the trees the appearance of having been budded. Though done for that pni'fpose at first, the practice recommends itse on other grounds, as giv- lng a stronger, straighter and more vigor. one stem for branching the third season. 1y tendérgvarieties, like the Baldwin in Middle-New England. But: this objection is “strong against; low budding as against root muting. There i; a 7 ground" of objection urged ngainah apple root grafting, that: it is inter- !or to tgp graftjng on @ydy‘gmclf‘a for slight. After root grafting had become establish- ed as a legitimate method for the apple, it was still regarded as utterly inapplicable to the pear ; while as to the plum and cherry, no one thought it possible as a practical op- eration. But recent experiences have shown me that as fine pear trees can be grown from root grafts as in any other way ; while with plums and cherries, when both roots and oions are dormant, or own when not, if both stock and cion are in a like condition, union is rapid and complete. and grownh luxuriant, under proper conditions. At least, 1 am finding this true with the Russian and North German varieties ; and the same report comes from Prof. Budd of the Iowa Agricul. tural College. Small (yearling) stocks are best suited to this method of propagation. uuw u..- ...._._ _ Trees protectediby timber on the north and west, annually produce bloom, while those not) protected, do not come so near bearing an that.

" Where the fruit garden consists of but few trees it is very easy tohave a much more regular supply of fruit than is usually grown. Those varieties that bear heavily on alternate years can be made to produce fruit as readily on the of! years by simply plucking all the fruit as soon as formed, in the bearing years, on those trees that we wish tobear on the off years. Thus with only two trees of a kind we may be reason- ably sure of fruit in each year by this method. This habit of bearing will continue until a frost or storm destroys the fruit or blossom and we must then again, the follow- ing year, pluck the fruit as before, from those trees whose habit we wish to change. A little extra labor will add much to the value of a small fruit garden. Waldo F. Brown suggests in farmer's Rs~ view that the end posts, which must bear the strain of stretching the wires, be set with concrete. It will take but a few cent'e worth of cemtnt to a. post. and will make it perfectly firm at the bottom, and also more durable than if set in the clay. It is almost impossible ta set paste film anongh no that they will not yield to the strain when the land is wet and soft. but by dig- ging a hole fifteen inches square and pound- ing it full of coarse cement grout around the goat it will give base enough to the post tJ eep it in place. Our Government has made up its mind to have a fast mail service across the Atlantic, and has assured the world of its willingness to subsidize very handsomely any company that will shoulder the undertaking. Late dispatches, however, indicate that there is some difficulty in persuading British capita- lists that there will he “ money in it,” sufficient to justify them in subscribing to the very large amount that is needed to set the scheme afloat. Something like $20,000,000 is said to be needed for such a service as the Dominion requires, and this large sum, reasons the John Bull capitalist, may prove inadequate for more than a few years. In these days, ocean greyhounds are as little likely to keep their supremacy for more than a few years at a time. as a racing mare is to keep hers, or a youthful beauty to resist the course of time and the compo- tition of developing “ buds.” And our in- vestments of today may prove unavaiiing against in competition of New York even five years hence. It is undeniable that there is some force in the reasoning. If Canada were a more populous and wealthy country there would, of course, be much more inducement to subscribe money for a first class mail service for her exclusive use. And it is a fact that ocean greyhounds nowadays soon become comparatively antiquated, so that a fast mail service of to-day may no longer be the fast mail service of to-morrow. But when the British money-bags have ex- amined the ground a little more carefully and estimated the significance of our trans- continental railroad among other things, we hope that they will grow more sanguine, and ; not refuse the money which is needed. But we cannot wonder much at their caution' ‘Twenty millions is a great deal of money, and they may well ask if it is reasonably certain that a population of five millions could assure a dividend on such a sum.

" The world is indebted to the brothers Siemens for many important: electrical and metallurgical inventions. These five engin- eers andinveutora were not born of inven~ the parents. They were none of a German farmer, whose ancestors for three centuries before had been cultivatora of the land. The Siemens brothers worked so harmon- iously together that it is difficult to define the personal share of each in their many gxeat inventions. A strong mutual feeling of affection and reaped: existed throughout thefamily. A"SicmensStifc"(establishment) was formed {or the promotion of good feel ing in the family, and for the benefit of its poorer members. u .r ‘ p This exception to the law of heredity was associated with another curious fact. Sir William Siemens became one of the best mechanics in England, yet as a boy he showed no fondness for mechanics. He made no windmills, sailed no boats, did no dam- age to the furniture by baby-carpenterlng, and did not pull the clock to pieces to see how “the wheels went: round.” ‘ Once every five yesrs all the members of the Siemens family, rich and poor, met at a pleasant place in the Hertz Mountains to pass a day or two in social intercourse. At this gathering the efl‘airs of applicants for help were inquired into, and the deserving relieved out ofa fund kept up by the sub- scriptions of the more wealthy relatives.

Whabever the explanation may be. the facts about juvenile criminality in Philadel- phia. are certainly startling. According to the Press. how can the April 0f ISBSand the Apr 1 of 1989 [there was hardly a crime on the calendar which was not committed by mere children. Says the Press. "There are boys in prison for murder and attempted murder and there are boys in jsil f 'r assault. Girls in short dres-ee have committed sui~ide. and have been saved from suicide. Dual lives have been started before the teens begin and in many a. home robbers and bar glare have slept in trundle bails. Juvenile highwaymen have s‘opped juvenile victims trembling an the points of their pistols and and fathers who remembered the excitement "hide and seek” gave them in childhood have suddenly been brought to realize that. their sons were playing the game with the police andin dead earnest} ‘ Listle fellows have deliberately organiz'd themselves into gangs If theivea and have planned and (xecuterl robberies that requir- ed days and weeks of detective work to ex plain did then the same authority adds words which make the rccwrd more horrible and mysterious. “Starling it is, too, that amaiority of these children do not spring from the criminal classes. The police to cord shows that trey have good homes, good training, and that their parents have sud- denly been grieved, sur rised and mortified beyond expression by t 6 presence of the officers at their doors with warrantsrf arrest. “The three Cowboys," as they called them selves were between twelve and fwrteen years of age. They carried 0': the most systematic opermious of thievery, and when finally arrested confessed that they had formed the daring scheme of waylaying a hunk messenger knocking him down and re- lieving him of his burden. “ The Black Diamonds ” was another gang of boy robbers. none of whom were over seventeen. Any quantity of stolen goods was found at their headquarters when the police unearthed them. One day in Novem- ber last, a small boy was set upon by a gang of five others, two of whom pointed revol- vers at his head, while the others went through his pockets and took everything that was in them. None of the five were over thirteen. A sixteer-ycarold boy named McGowan knocked it smaller lad down and robbed him of ten dollars. Several other gangs of thieves have been broken up bv the police during the year meniioned. A sixteen-year-old boy named Drew tried to murder a fifteen-year-oid one. because the latter had called him a liar. He drew a revolver and fired point blank at his head, Wounding him severely. A thirteen~year- old boy served another one in the same way. because he refused to have anything to do with what he considered “ a crooked business.“ Two boys in the House of Re- fuse secreted long knifes about their persons and made a desperate attempt to escape. A ten-year-old boy was assaulted one evening by a band of youthful “ white-caps." He was thrown violently down, was taken home in spasms and after some days of terri~ hie sufl'ering, died. Three boys were tried and sentenced for felonious ssanlt upon three girls. All were under sixteen. Sui- cides also by mere children have been alarm~ ingly frequent. Is it any wonder that, in the face of such facts, not the " Philadelphia Press" only, but all good citizens should pause and seriously question with them, seIVes as to the causes'which have led to such nnatnrai developments of crime in children who did not belong to the criminal class, but of the great majority of whom it might be said that they had everything in their favor for turning out good citizens, a credit to themselves and to their parents.

Some of the New York newepapers speak very harshly about the brutal conduct of some of the mounted policemen who were on dutv durin the Washington Centennial celebration. %hey charged the dense crowds who were pressing on the space reserved for the procession, and drove them back by the simple expedient of trampling them down with their horses. Old women and little children were ruthlessly over-ridden. It was a disgraceful exhibition for a metropolis of Christendom. Had it been witnessed in old Rome during a “ triumph ” of one of th conquering generals of that iron age, it would have been bad enough, but that such things could take place in a city like New York, in the nineteenth century of the Christian era. and on such an occasion as the solemn installation to office of a great and good man, is shameful to think of. It is needless for Americans to execrate the brutalities of the \ Irish constabnlary, when they have men among themselves hardened enough to ride over women and children who had given them no provocation.
