wlio uso tlio limkn of lrecn for their
winter iuu Icrp, Is ns good tinio us
:uiy anil before nolivo outdoor work
begins to elenn oil nil tho moss ninl
siipoilliious or old bark from tho trunks
of treefl. Not only tho Insects, but
their millions of ogirH, nnd tho seeds of
various blights nnd mildews nro shel
tered in tho ereylccs nnd rough places
of Iho old barks, moss, fco. It should
bo la,ken for granted that tho nppear
unco of tho vogetablo orgnnlsms on
tho steins of troes, ns well ns upon tho
balk of tho trunks, shows thnt some
thing has already gone wrong. Some
thing has jiroveuted tho lice lrom
thriving ns It should havo done, nnd
because it did not thrive tho moss fob
lowed. When, therefore, wo mnko up
our minds to look after tho moss, it
will bo ns well to find out what is tho
matter with tho tree, anil if possible
plaeo it in a position to throw off, ns it
growR, tho dead bnrk on which tho
mosses nnd sickness fee'.
The stunted condition of the trees
whlcli induces mossy and hide-bound
bark Is more frequently the result of
starvation than anything else. When
u tree does not expand fast tho bark is
not thrown off but remains on the
tree to slowly decay i but with n rapid
expansion it is thrown oft ns n treo
swells nnd thus keeps Us ownself clenu.
Starvation keeps tho tree from grow
ing. A liberal supply of good food
making a treo thrive nnd expand rap
idly, is one 0 tho best means of keep
ing n treo clean and clear of moss.
When a treo bus onco got into its
burdened -condition, nioio manuring
wjll'hardly get it out of it alone. In
such cases orchardists mnko use of n
Hbcrni application of tho pruning
knife cutting away all tho branches
which may seem to bo pretty well
hardened or stunted. This brings on
n freo growth of foliage tho next sea
son, nnd n freo growth is ono of tho
best ways to keep tho main steins
clean.
Much can bo done in tho.carly spring
with those old starved and stunted
trees towards getting them to do bet
ter. Tho loose bark may bo scraped
off, and evon washed with weak pot
ash water or soft soap. Tho branches
which scenv gone beyond recovery, or
aro too weak or so much stunted as to
promiso little in Iho future, may bo
cut away, and soitio good feitilfzing
material may bo Inuled and spread
under tho trees.
As lo what is a good fertilizer lor
fruit trees much has been written, but
wo believe for the apple and pear al
most anything that comes convenient
ly to haild is good. Wo knew years
ago ono very successful applo raiser
wild used nothing whatever but ashes
from tho kitchen. Tlieso wcro always
saved expressly for his apple orchard
nnd spread evenly on tho ground under
eauh tree. It is commonly said that
there is no nutrition in anthracite coal
ashes, and perhaps there is not ; but
it is a fact that tlieso trees grew
amazingly, and boron largo ci op of
tho most beautiful fiuit. It may bo
that tho wood ashes from tho "kind
ling," and perhaps some kitchen re
fuse among tho rest, were tho chief
fertilizing ingredients. J5o that ns it
may, this orchard wns a grand
success. Tho bnik was always
smooth and hoilthy looking, without
any washing or scraping. Nothing in
tho orchard line could look better. Wo
havo known others who used simply
tiitih cleanings, or good top soil from
wet places, and always with consider
able increase in tho apparent health
and vigor of tho tree.
lTsr. ok Plastek and Asnr.s. Ilen
ly Ives, one of the best farmers in far
famed Western New York, writes
thus sensibly to tho Tribune: "To
use plaster 011 any of our growing
crops required so slight a cast and so
often proves bcuciici.il, that one can
hardly afford to neglect its application,
although occasionly no perceptible
advantage is derived from it, and, nt
best, wo scarcely look for benefit ex
cept for the one season and the ono
crop. But in uirg ashes wo aro more
sure of benefit, and its good effects are
so lasting that after ono liberal appli
cation, say of from oO to 100 bushels
per aero (though if leached ashes aro
used ono could safely apply three to
sis times this quantity), tho" eflect will
show for five, ten or even fifteen years,
by increasing fertility. When apply
ing plaster to corn", or plaster nnd
guano, phosphalo or hen manure, or
even with a small quantitv of ashes
(in all casts from 100 to 200 weight to
tho acre is enough of tho plaster), tho
ingredients bhould bo prepared and
well mixed on tho bain tloor, loaded
into an open wagon, bo as to have it
along convenient to tho work, and nl-most-nny
t'nno In tho early growth of
tho corn apply a small handful to each
hill, not us some do, by throwing it
carelessly in a compact heap near to
tho hill, but ns it is thrown sifting
through tho fingers givoit an evon
distribution all about tho hill. Hut
niter tho com is a little moro advanced
I believe it would do it more good, nnd
without costing much If any more, to
uso two or three times as much of the
fertilizing mixture, sowing it broad
oast over tho field. If, instead, tho
farmer could apply 00 or SO bushels of
nshos to tho acre, it should bo dono
before planting or seeding, so as to bo
well mixed with soil when preparing
it for the seed bed. This, I believe, is
tho most lasting of any kind of fer
tilizer, and ouo of tho cheapest, too,
when the nshos can bo obtained with
out costiuir more than 2.' or 30 cents n
bushel. After such nu application of
iisiH-p, ur uuier let unzer, or manure, it
is still just as desirable as ever to
plaster tho corn growing on such fer
tilized laud."
He Was the Wrong Man.
Several weeks ago, by special enact
ment of the legislature, the governor
offered n reward of $200 for an Ar
kansaw man who is not a judge, col
onel, major, or captain. The next day
n plain, unassuming man called upon
tho governor, nnd said :
"I havo tho lienor, sir, to claim tho
reward you offered lor a man who is
neither a judge, colonel, major, nor
captain. 1 nm neither of these."
"I nm glad to meet you, bir," said
tint I'nvi rnor. "Just sit down n mo
ment until I attend to n little matter of
business.
The man took .1 seat, and tho gov
criior went into nu ndjoiuing room,
ami, nfter u moment, called 1
"Colonel."
"Yes, err," snld tho gentleman mis-
'That's all right," mnmked tho gov
ernor. ' "I eeo you nro a colonel.
Porter, please bliow tho military gen
tleman to tho door, and admit tho next
man."
Quality of Eggs.
A uenticman onco remonstrated with
Ills miirkct-womnii on tho high prico of
her eggs, to which sho replied 1 "Kggs
19 eggs now-n days, 1 would havo you
know,' meaninir that they were scarce.
"1 nm very glad to know It,'' snld tho
gentleman, ''for the last I bought of
you were chickens."
Kggs nro eggs, whatever may bo tho
price, but thero is n difference in tho
quality even of fresh eggs. They me
nil manufactured alike, but they nro not
11 .... 1 r .1 .-I'-l I
iiiikiu 111 iiiubiihiu jiiiuitiiii, mm iium-u
tho difference. It is n wcll cstnbllshed
fact that tho food of fowls nffects tho
tnsto of tho eggs ns well ns tho tnsto of
their tlesh. Tho ilcsh of wntrr fowls
thnt live on fish hns n fishv flavor, nnd
their eggs partake ol tho same. So tho
oilor nnil llavor ol onions may Do de
tected In tho eggs of barn-yard fowls,
and It docs not always require n detect
ive to perccivo it. All this might bo in
ferred from tho slightest knowledge
of animal physiology, and is proved
by actual experience.
"The quality of eggs cannot bo ascer
tained in tho market, excepting ns to
whether they nro fresh or nddledj tho
proof is tho'snino ns in tho caso of n
pudding it is in the eating, lint those
who keep fowls nnd havo their eggs
laid to order may know beforehand
what is lo bo their quality. If you have
tho tight kind of fowls, it depends largo
ly on their food. Fowl should bo kept
in a clean, wholesome place. They
should havo clean food to eat nnd only
clean water to drink. Thev should not
bo allowed to live on tho ifuughill, but
should havo plenty of good and whole
somo food. Corn and wheat aro good
enough for a staple diet. Buckwheat
will not furnish ns rich eggs as cither
of those. Fowls should havo somo kind
of green food. In summer they gather
it for themselves when thoy run at large;
in winter it should bo provided for
thejn. Cabbage and olhcr vegetables
Bhould bo laid up expressly for their
uso in the winter season. In order, to
ensure their laying freely they require
some kind of. animal food. In summer
they gather it by catching grasshoppers
ami various kinds of insects, but .in
winter they have no such resource. He
fuso pieces of meat, liver, etc., may bo
obtained at tho butchers, and scraps of
meat from thu table should bo given
them.
But whatever they feed on, caro
should bo taken to havo it cleanly. It
is well worth the experiment to try dif
ferent kinds of food, nnd then test tho
quality of tho eggs. Great satisfaction
will bo found in tho result of good caro
and clenu feeding.
Betting on a Certainty.
I 'i the British nrmy, India,betting among
tho otlicers often runs to an extreme
of vice that is sometimes fearful to con
template. Perhaps it is no worse than
in club life in Loudon, where tho most
ntuiifing as well as tragical stories aro
told of the curious bets that nro made.
Betting on a certainty isr.held lb bo un
fair, unless tho avowal is distinctly
made, so that no undue advantago is ta
ken.
An officer in the army had impoitcd
for his private apartments .1 nesv and
beautiful mahogany table'. A day or
two after it had arrived and had been
duly installed in his quarters; n brother
otticer, a great swell nnd very unpopu
lar, dropped in familiarly, and greatly
admired .the beautiful table. Tho own
er was shaving himself at tho glass
with his back toward his visitor Colo
nel Brown but continued the. conver
sation until tho colonel withdrew, the
latter remarking that ho soon hoped to
have his legs under that elegant ma
hogany. , Tho owner of tho table, whom we
must call Major Jones, mado up a little
dinner partv in the courso of a few
days, and Colonel Brown was ono of
mo uumiier. it was natural that tho
now table should bo tho subject of re
mark, and Brown, who affected to be a
connoisseur in all matters, said tho ta
bio was perfect, with oue exception.
Jones, "and pray what is that, colo
uelf
Brown. "It is just a little too high."
Jones. "Do you think so 1 flow
high would you suppose it to bo !"'
Brown. "I presume it is the usual
height, just thirty six-inches, nnd it
ought to be less than that by at least
half an inch."
Jones. "That is tho exact height,
thirty-five and a half inches, not thirty
six as you suppose."
Brown. "Pardon me. I am certain
it is three feet high : I will make you
abet on it."
Jones. "You will lose if you do, fori
give you notice that I know its exact
height to bu half an inch, and if I bet I
shall bet to a dead certainty."
Brown. "I am just as sure as you are;
I am betting on a dead certainty also ;
my eye never deceives me. I will lay
you a hundred or .1 thousand pounds
that this table is thirty-six inches high j
no more, no less."
The major sought to dissuade his
guest from his purpose to make a bet,
assuring him that he knew tho height
of tho table, and did not want to bet 611
n ceuiainty, but when tho excitement
grow furious, the wager was finally
laid nt an enormous sum I havo heard
it stated us high as $50,000 10,000
That seems preposterous, whou such a
tritle was tho subject, but tho gambling
spirit does not stick nt trilles. When
tho betting wns finally arranged, Colo
tiel Brown exclaimed, exulHngly, I told
you I knew tho table was just thirty
six inches high : I did know it, because
when I called, just after it had arrived,
I took its measure on my canb as I eat
by it, and after I went out I measured,
and found it to be, as I have said, pre
cisely thirty six inches high.
"Yes," said Major Jones, "I was sit
ting with my back toward you, but I
was shavinj; before tho looklnir-irlass.
nnd I saw you take tho measure of tho
table with your cane, buspectmgth.it
you were preparing for a bet ns to its
height, nfter you left I had n half nit
men tnKcn oil, and it is now precisely
thirty five and a half Inches high."

THE COLUMBIAN AND
The Coming Ooronatton,
There ro great preparations going
on nt Iho present tlmo 111 St. Petersburg
nnd Moscow for coronation, which is
to tako placo In May. Already many
hundreds of horse nro being transferred
from tho Imperinl stables of St. Peters
burg to Moscow. The number of these
animals required for the occasion may
bj surmised from tho fact that tho min
ister of the imperial household has is
sued nu order to cnanira 1,200 volun
teers ns slnblemen in ndditlon to tho
rcirulnr men In tho employment. Thir
ty-six gilded closed carriages nnd four
gilded open carriages arc to bo pent to
Moscow for tho occasion. These vehi
cles must, of course, bo moro Imposing
man comtortamc, since thoy mostly be
long to tho Btyio ol carriage mado n
century nnd even moro ngo. Most of
them were constructed in tho beginning
of tho eighteenth century, wliilo others
wcro mndo in tho reigns of Alexnndci
I. nnd Nicholas I. Constiicuonsnmonir
them is the magnificent gilded carringo
presented to tho empress Elizabeth of
Knssln by Frederick the (treat in 17-16.
These forty carriage, with tho invited
guests, will bo drawn by 188 horses,
lifty-uino of which havo been recently
imported from Hauovcr expressly for
tho purpose, nnd nro reported to bo n

Two ermine lined purple coronation
mantles havo been ordered of tho denier
111 furs, Grunwnld, of Moscow. Thesu
mantles nro to bo about seven yards in
lencth, with an imperial curie embroid
ered in gold on the back of each of
them. The dress which is to bo worn
by tho empress at tho coronation is be
ing embroidered in the famous atelier
of Lomnu, in Moscow. It will consist
of finely woven silver cloth, all cm
broidcied in silver, a irnrliiiid of em
broidery nearly n yard tvido running
around the bottom ol tho skitt nnd
covering tho train. The train alone,
consisting almost entirely ot silver, is
to weigh moicthnu twenty pounds.
the old capitnl ot uussia is to disomy
tho greatest hospitality on that occa
sion. All the numerous monasteries,
all private houses, aro undergoing re
pairs in order to offer accommodation
to the expected guests. Nono of the
persons s.immoncd for the occasion to
Moscow by the imperial decree aro to
bo quartered in hotels j tho houses of
the nobility, of tho notables nnd of tho
dignitaries, of the church, arc open to
those. Tho Metropolitans of St. Peters
burg and of Kief, who nro to crown

rooms 111 tho two larco historic monas
teries of Moscaw, and likewise will bo
accommodated tho other twelve prel
ates who are to officiate nt the cora-

The nobles of the government of
Moscow, in council assembled, have de
cided to offer tho traditionary bread
and salt to the. monarch on a plate
which is to cost .o.OOO rubles. Thoy
have resolved to give a ball to the Em
peror at which, 111 order to avoid a
crowd, but 2,700' persons will bo pies
out, though tho house of the nubility
in Moscow may easily contain over
1,000 guests. Fifteen thousand rubles
have been voted for tho decoration of
the ball room, ns much more for the
restoration of furniture, nnd nil ex
penses considered, the ball to be given
by the nobility is very likely to cost
100,000 rubles, which sum will be lev
ied as a self-imposed tax from tlio in
come ot tho landed proprietors of the
government of moscow, who are all ea

J'apar World.
Paget Sound is considered one of tlio
most remarkable bodies of water in the
world. It is suriouuded by continuous
forests that reach bick to the summits
of tho Cascade and Olympic ranges.
Tho streams that como down from tho
mountains on every side have fertile
valleys ; somo of them already occu
pied and well cultivated. Puyallup and
White Hivers nnd their ntlluents nro

room for settlers 011 tho Snouualmic,
Snohomish, Squak, '.Skagit and Noot
sack, as well as on a valley in What
com county, wheio Frazer's Hiver once
flowed. It was olee believed that the
laud around tho sound was worthless,
and that its forests stood on rock with
out soil ; but time has demonstrated
that this is only true of a small extent
of country near the Sound, and that all
tho upland between the streams and
extending to tho mountains, is rich, deep
soil that will produce anything that will
grow in that climate.
