On rich soils these trees grow so rapidly and form so much wood that it does not harden be­ fore winter comes. This is the case with the European larch. This tree is one of the most famous trees in Eu­ rope for the production of building material. Larch wood is found in Eu­ ropean structures that are many cen­ turies old. The trees from which those timbers were produced grew on the tops of mountains in poor soil. It was believed that the larch could be made a valuable tree for our western prairies. Many thousands of trees were planted in all sections of the prairie states. The rich soil of the prairies caused a rapid growth, and the wood produced lacked entirely the quality of the European larch. The tops of these trees frequently froze off in winter, and the wood when used for building material or for fence posts quickly decayed. Our tree growers have long since concluded that if the larch is to be grown at all, it must be grown on poor soils and under hard conditions What is true of the larch is true of m4j|y other trees.--Milton Knight, Cherry Co., Neb., in Farmers' Review. ; „; ACTIVt FOft GREEK CHURCH. Archbishop Tlkhon at Head of inetlti* tion in This Country. The extensive, plans of Archbishop" Tikhon, who for seven years has been the head of the Orthodox Eastern Greek church in the United States, Canada and Alaska, in .accordance with the commission received by him from the hierarchy of that denomina­ tion in Russia, have attracted the at­ tention of laymen and clergy of vari­ ous denominations. Archbishop Tik­ hon has founded a majority of the 150 congregations of the denomination on this side of the Atlantic and has also established a seminary for teaching candidates for the priesthood at Min­ neapolis, Minn., which will be opened next month. His latest step to ad­ vance the cause of the church is the calling together Of the first council of the prelates, clergy and people of the Congregations under his' jurisdiction to be held in New York city in October. His residence and cajthedral church are in New York city. He is a linguist The Common Yellow Bear. . ; This is an insect that is found in our gardens from June to September. It attacks grape vines, apple trees, currant bushes and gooseberry bushes, and even other trees and shrubs. When young the caterpillars are blu­ ish white, but are of a pale cream col­ or when fully grown. The eggs are round and yellow and are placed on the under side of leaves. The moth is the miller we find in our rooms at night. In the illustration "a" is the miller, "b" the pupa, and "c" the adult The caterpillars »«st-be picked by hand. ? ' Thin the Branches of Shade Trees. It is a common mistake to permit the branches of shade trees to become too thick. This is true whether they be conifers or deciduous trees. In the case of conifers, like the spruce trees and cedars, the branches, being thick, prevent the sun from reaching the in­ most branches, which die. If one will lie under some of the thick-branched spruce trees and look up, he will see Immediately surrounding the bowl of the tree only dead twigs, and these sometimes extend several feet from the trunk. Such trees are unsightly. The trees would be just as beautiful if the branches were kept thin, and there would be only green from the tips of the limbs to the trunk of the tree. Shade tends to thin out branches. This is nature's means of pruning. When a deciduous tree, like the maple, is allowed to form all the branches It can, it invariably kills all the grass below it. Where shade trees are grown grass is generally also wanted, and the owner of the tree tries every known art to make grass grow under the tree. The only way for him to succeed is to keep the branches of the trees thinned out suf­ ficiently to allow some light to get through. This will not disfigure the tree, and will save the grass. Thick­ ness of branches does not add beauty to a tree, for it is obvious that limbs that cannot be seen do not increase the beauty of a tree, yet they prevent the passage of sunshine. By thinning out the inside branches the beauty of the tree can be saved and the grass -«t the same time.

FLY TRAVELED 900 MILE8 the it if as Preparation of Orchard Soli. If an orchard Is put out right, soil will be prepared for several years in advance, the soil is what is known vir-gin soli. It is always a mistake to dig holes in virgin soil, and plant treeB therein. Ground for orchards should be plowed for one or two years and crops grown on it that need culti­ vation. Such crops as corn, potatoes, and garden produce are especially well adapted to fit the land for orcharding. The points to be borne in mind are to get the soil stirred deeply, have it thoroughly pulverised and supplied with plant food. No Apple Belt. There * is no such thing u an apple belt, although apples can be grown much more successfully in some localities than others. But generally speaking, apples can be grown everywhere in the temperate zones. The apple, above most fruits, has a wide range of latitude, and is lit­ tle affected by longitude, except where such longitude indicates aridity. The apple adapts itself readily to a great many varieties of location and eleva­ tion. While the apple naturally like3 a clay soil, it adapts itself to many varieties of soil conditions and tex­ ture!;':"' The Hardy Mule. « Hardiness is a quality that is com­ ing more and more to have value in the eyes of our farmers. The animal that is hardy can be more cheaply raised than the ani­ mal that lacks in that important quality. It is declared that the mule is more easily raised than any other farm animal intended for labor on farms of this country. He has a pow­ erful digestion, that makes it possible for him to use the crudest hay for nourishment. Above all, the young mule does not often die from the ail­ ments that affect the offspring of the horse. Especially in the south the mule is very profitable as a farm laborer, in spite of his bad temper ander certain circumstances. Went Safely in Letter from Chicago to Washington. George Ambrose, a mailing clerk In the Library of Congress, and incident­ ally the crack third baseman of the Library team, opened a letter from Chicago recently, when a large black, everyday fly flew from the envelope. That the insect could travel the 900 miles between Washington and the Windy City and escape death by mash­ ing in the many canceling machines it had to pass through between was the wonderment of all the clerks in the of­ fice. * The fly came securely sealed In a big . envelope containing an application for copyright for a piece of vocal mu­ sic. When Ambrose opened the envelope the Windy City fly hopped out, stood on. the table a moment, stretched itself, shook its wings, got its> bear­ ing and flew away to make the ac­ quaintance of Washington flies. Am­ brose made a desperate effort to catch the bewildered creature but it was too fly for him. It was reported that the piece of music was entitled, "Come, Fly With Me," but as information of this kind cannot be given out by the Copyright Office the rumor could not be con­ firmed. The experience of this Windy City insect will probably be recorded in the histories of flydom as one of the great­ est trips a fly ever took. From the common stockyards of Chicago to the palatial halls of the Library of Congress is quite an experi­ ence even for a common house fly. : Japanese in San Francisco. Statistics gathered in San Francisco in regard to the Japanese engaged in business show that they have entered into lively competition with Ameri cans in a large number of occupa tions which the Chinese do not invade. There are eighty-five Japanese hotels in San Francisco, sixty restaurants, sixteen intelligence offices, nine shoot­ ing galleries, eleven billiard rooms and seventy-^five house-cleaning offices. These are all licensed and there is a large number of unlicensed cobblers, butchers, janitors, porters and domes­ tic servants.. Father John of Cronstadt. lather John of Cronstadt, who has such extraordinary influence with the czar, is 86 years old. In personality he answers the description of the average Russian peasant, oflly in his case abstemiousness has wrought a refining effect on his features. He is short of stature with a somewhat florid complexion, and his small, twinkling gray eyes have that furtive appear­ ance characteristic .of the Russian working class. In spite of his great age, he is remarkably active, and his long, brown hair is untouched with Water-Proof Cement Blocks. According to the Engineering and Mining Journal, cemetft blocks can be made impervious to water by treating with a wash made by . dissolving twenty-flve pounds of alum in a barrel of soft water, following with a wash of soft soap, prepared by mixing three or four pails of soft soap with a barrel of water. This treatment, which goes by the name of the Sylvester process, has been known to make water-tight large reservoirs, laid in concrete, w;hen other methods failed. LOftT 72 POUNDS.

Page, Page Optical Co., Erie, Pa., writes: "Taking too many Iced drinks In New York in 1895 sent me home with a terrible attack of kidney trouble. I had acute congestion, sharp pain in the back, head­ aches and attacks of dizziness. My eyes gave out, and with the lan­ guor and sleep­ lessness of the disease upon me I wasted from 194 to 122 pounds. At the time I started using Dean's Kid­ ney PUls an abscess was forming on my right kidney.

They were an elderly country cou­ ple paying their first visit to this city, according to the description given by Major Devlin of the Sixty-ninth regi­ ment, who stood by the desk of the St. Denis awaiting the arrival of a friend, The old gentleman had registered, an'd the bell boy stood near with their valises, waiting to escort them to their room. Just before entering the elevator the good wife said something in an undertone to her husband, and he hurried back to the desk. "I forgot to tell you, young man," he said to the clerk, "we shall want breakfast in the morning. Nothin' extra, you know; just a couple of eggs apieca and scane chops lad' coffee, with the usual fixin's." The clerk smiled and mentioned the fact that the dining room was at their service. "Well, I just thought I'd tell yOu, so's you could make allowances and have enough to go round," said the old gentleman as he hurried to rejoin his wife and assure her that there was no danger of a shortage in foo.d owing to their unexpected arrival. ; Time When Women Are Susceptible t<| Many Dread Diseases--Intelligent Women for It, Two Relate their Experience.

A little English girl wrote tiie 'fol- lowing essay on a cat: "The cat is a square quadruped, and, as is custom­ ary with square quadrupeds, has Its legs at the four corners. If you want to please this animal you must stroke it on the back. If it is very much pleased it sets up its tail quite stiff, like a ruler, so that your hand cannot get any further. The cat is said to have nine lives, but in this country- it seldom needs tl$em all because of Christianity/' Every housekeeper jbould know that if they will .buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 16 oz.--one full pound--while all other Cold Water Starches are put up in %-pound pack­ ages, and the price is the same, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch Is free from all injurious chem­ icals. If your grocer tries to sell you a. 22 cz. package it is because fce has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance. He knows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large let­ ters and figures "lti ozs."

Rank of Cities- The incomplete census figures indi­ cate that the population of New York Is now Just under 4,000,000, or, to be exact, 3,987,154. The probabilities are that Manhattan and the Bronx alone will be found to have a population of 2,378,696. The standing of New York among the big cities of the world is shown by the following figures: Lon­ don comes first with 4,536,641 people, and next to New York are Paris, with 2,714,008; Berlin, With 1,888,848, and Chicago, with 1,698,575.

Drummond, Wis., Aug. 21st ^Spe­ cial)--Whole families In Bayfield County are singing the praises of Dodd's Kidney Pills and the reason why is given in experiences such as that of Mr. T. T. Wold, a well-known citizen here. "I had such pains in my back that I did not know what to do," says Mr. Wold, "and as I came across an adver­ tisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills, I sent for a box. That one box reliev­ ed me of all my pains. My wife also used them and found them just what she needed. I recommend Dodd's Kid­ ney Pills as a sure cure for Back­ ache and other Kidney Troubles." Backache is one of the earliest symptoms of Kidney Disease. Dodd's Kidney Pills cure it promptly and per­ manently and prevent it developing into Rheumatism, Dropsy, Diabetes or Bright's Disease.

Warned by the Russian Mutiny. , Visitors who went aboard the bat­ tleships in the harbor recently noted the unaccustomed absence of all small arms in the seamen's quarters, where usually there are racks .full of guns and swords. A sailor from the Ken­ tucky explained this condition by say­ ing that although there was no danger of a mutiny on any United States war­ ship, the officers always had to "con­ sider the possibility of such a condi­ tion and prepare for it. The success­ ful mutiny of the Russian sailors on the Kniaz Potemkin had been an eye- opener to naval officers, the saiior.said, and at once all small arms had been removed from reach of the sailors.-- New York Sun.

Every woman who neglects the care of her health at this time in­ vites disease and pain. Wh?s her system is in, a deranged condition, or she is predisposed to apoplexy, or congestion of any organ, the ten­ dency is at this period likely to become active --and with a host of ner­ vous irritations, make life a burden. At this time, also, cancers ami tumors are more liable to form and begin their destructive work. Such warning symp­ toms as sense of suffo­ cation. hot flashes, head­ aches backaches, dread of impending evil, timid­ ity, sounds in the ears, palpitation of the heart, sparks before the eyes, irregularities, constipa­ tion, variable appetite, weakness and inquie­ tude, and dizziness, are promptly heeded by in­ telligent women who are approaching the period in life when woman's great change may be expected. These symptoms are all just so many calls from nature for help. The nerves are crying out for assistance and the cry should be heeded in time. Lydia E.
