The Best Mananemeiit of Urnpevlnte.
To prune a tree or shrub severely when
ia full erowth is known to be hurtful,
and only those who have fairly tested it
know its extent. There is not only a
shook checking growth, but hurting the
tree for years, it not permanently ; and
where the excision of limbs is severe it
may kill the tree. Some will bear the
, strain better than others. The willow
is one of these, A lew years ago I re
moved a clump of rose willows, cutting
it off even with the ground. It had been
growing some ten years thriftily, and
was cut in July. New shoots put out,
but tardily and spindling, and made a
growth of about eighteen inches, the
leaves gradually turning pale and be
coming mildewed and prematurely drop
ping. Another clump near by, of the
same aee, was rut in spring before the
buds pushed. The growth of this was
magnificent, dark, thrifty and healthy,
because there was no shock, no hurt,
and hence no occasion for mildew. I
had a similar experience with a black
currant hedge, which I cut back se
verely when in full growth, mildew fol
lowing. This was three years ago. My
cutting back since then has been done
early, when the wood was yet in its
dormant state, and a clean, healthy
plant is the result. These, and numer
ous other cases that might be mentioned,
are conclusive that mildew follows
severe injury.
The treatment we give the erapevine
is a parallel case. We cut back severely
our thrifty sorU in the fall or spring,
and pinch back in the summer. Now,
a single cutting when the vine is in a
dormant Btate may not hurt it percepti
bly, as in the case of the willow and
currant, and as is the practice with the
hedges generally. But it is too much to
continue it yearly; add to it the
summer pruning, and put the re
duced leaves to the task of perfectine
a heavy, unthinned crop of fruit, and
the usual mildew or rot, or dropping of
leaves, or all, is the result. Our fruit
trees are cut and forced in their growth
until tho cry of disease has become
genenil. Berries are taken from their
shaded situation, the strawberry out of
the grass, and the blackberry and rasp
berry from the forest border and aban
doned new land, and exposed to the
hot sun, and subjected to the strain of
cultivation. Is it a wonder that de
terioration follows such treatment?
Nature will allow improvement where
it favors her law or habit, but she never
fails to punish rashness, because her ad
vance is slow and gradual.
Let us conform to this. Our crop,
then, though more moderate, will also
be more uniform, with less of the mis
haps we now complain of. The grapes
need more room on the trollis, a smaller
number of clusters, and the consequent
reduction of the number of seeds, which
are such a severe draft upon the vital
forces. At the same time the volume of
fruit is little lessened, and the quality
is certainly improved. When 1 prac
ticed manuring and hacking I got mil
dew; when I gave run on the trellis,
lessened the clusters and diverted the
growth, I got health and a fine improved
crop with the same vines nnd ntlnr.
and for many years. Now and then a
little mildew will show, when, in a
growing s ason, a sudden check is given
to transpiration by humidity, heat
forcing, aided by a stronar soil, and
dampness restraining. The same thing
will happen to grain, but much less to
tne true ana shrub growth in their
natural state, it is when they nre sub
iected to the strain and abuse of culLiva.

grapevines ana berries are attacked lv

A Cuke fob a Cough The New
York Tribune says: The following re
cipe is sent by a valued friend who has
found it very efficient in her family iu

two ounces; tincture of lobeiia, two

cssense of anise, three drams; essence

may require.
Common Sense in Advertising.
A model advertisement is designed to
satisfy the rational demand of a prob
able customer to know what you have
got to sell. The successful advertiser,
therefore, observes three rules: First,
he aims to furnish the information
which the public wants; second, he
aims to reach that part of the public
whoso wants he is prepared to satisfy ;
and third, he endeavors to make his
information as easy of acquisition by
the public as possible.
Tho commonest and handiest thing
in the American family is the news
paper, and as nearly all shopping pro
ceeds from the family, from its needs,
its intelligence, its tastes, its fashions,
it follows that the thoughtful and suc
cessful advertiser approaches the family
by this means. He does not waste his
money and hi? time in loading his ad
vertising gun f nd shootine it off skv-
waid in the streets, at all creation, on
the chance that some willing customer
may be going that way, and may be
brought down; on the contrary, he
takes account of the advertising ammu
nition which he has on hand, and loads
and points his gun through the columns
of some reputable newspaper at the
game he wants to hit.
Besides, knowing that newspapers are
the best means of advertising and how
to pick out the best newspapers for his
purpose, the successful advertiser fully
appreciates the importance of persistent
advertising. Mr. Bryant used to say
that the great influence of the press
depends for one thing upon its power of
iteration. Presenting the same subject
in many forms, it finally wius attention
and acquiescence. Used in this thorough
and systematic way. the advertising
columns of the newspapers are as useful
and essential to the merchant, as means
of telling the public what he has to sell,
as the clerks behind the counter are to
how his goods when the people come
to examine them. New York Evening

A Practical Article for Tonne Men Who
Want to belBdltonand Wield a Moral
Influence,
All the way from the university of a
far distent State comes to us an appli
cation for a position on the Journal as
an editorial writer. It comes from a
young man who says he has been pur
suing a special course of study with a
view of adopting journalism as a pro
fession. He has about finished this
course and desires to enter immediately
upon his life-work. The young gen
tleman writes that from early youth
his ambition has been to wield a moral
influence, and he sees no hope of exer
cising this influence save as a journal
ist. He has tasted of science, of lan
guage, of philosophy; has labored to
form a style which he could use with
e fleet; has sought out new paths, and
endeavored to make new paths where
he found none. His knowledge of politi
cal history, law and political economy
he thinks would enable him to discuss
the averaee questions of tne day intel
ligently. In treating questions of social
interest, his knowledge of socitl econ
omy might not prove amiss. As a
journalist he would keep his life pur
pose ever before him. In his paper he
would introduce new features to old
ones he would give the charm of novelty.
In political discussions he would shun
insignificant partyisms 01 personal re
flections everything save a fair presen
tation ol party principles and party in
terests. As manager he would exercise
judicious economy, as editor, untiling
energy and brain.
The young gentleman is no doubt
honest and sincere in his statements,
but they weigh nothing with an ex
perienced newspaper man. Journalists
are not turned out of universities ready
made. Journalism is a profession which
can only be mastered after long years of
active service on the same principle
that to bo a good lawyer, or a success
ful minister, or a competent mechanic,
one must have practical experience, and
can attain prominence only after long
years of patient labor. Young men on
leaving college are apt to think they
could shape the destinies of a nation if
they could only get control of the
columns of some newspaper. Perhaps
a young graduate does get an oppor
tunity to writp editorials for some coun
try weekly. Ho launches a bolt, and
then anxiously awa ts the report. Ho
generally waits in vain, and is both
Cained and chagrined to find out that
is majestic utterances have attracted
no attention whatever. Perhaps he
gets a position on one of the big dailies,
and with a proud heart he hands in to
the managing editor a long article, over
which he has spent several days and
nights in writing nnd re-writing, only
to be mortified almost to death by the
matter-of-fact chief, telling him to cut
that thing down to two stickfuls, even
if he does not tell him the paper lias no
roem for nny such stuT. He may fur
ther tell tho young man, whose am
bition is to wield a moral influence, that
they want no opinions from him, they
only want news, and that in a con
densed, concise form. The conceit may
further be taken out of the young man
by being detailed to write up the" stock
yards, or sent to get the points in a
scandal case, nnd told that he must get
his report into a half column and have
his copy in by eleven o'clock sharp.
This doing uncongenial work, and
doing it on the jump, with no time to
elaborate glowing periods and eloquent
perorations, is anew experience, ana five
to one he maes a flat failure and is
chagrined beyond measure by being told
that he has no aptitude for journalism,
and is advised to seek some other voca
tion. Journalism is drudgery plod
ding, unostentatious drudcerv. The in
dividual work which makes up a com
plete newspaper attracts no attention
from the public eenerallv. Readers sav
this or that paper is a good one, with
uul uuuc uunug wild uiu 11119 or mat. to
make it such. And this alone would
be cruel to the unfledged writer who
hopes to wield a moral influence. If
one of his articles appears he expects it
to be the feature of the paper, and is
disappointed if people do not talk about
it ana insist on knowing who wrote it

A Humorist's Devotion to nn Invalid
Wife.
The wife of Robert J. Burdette, the

the husband s devotion to her has been
very touching. All his writing is done
in her room and read to her before it is
sent to press. In declining an invita
tion to attend a college society reunion
recently, Mr. Burdette wrote :

How Barns Looked.
So tar' as we can form any correct
judgment, Burns was one of the
noblesl-iooking men of his age. Walter
Scott, at the &e of fifteen, saw the poet,
and it made an enduring impression.
He describes him as follows : His body
was strong and robust, and his appear
ance rustic, but not clownish. His man
ners, though plain, were marked by dig
nified simplicity. His countenance was
more massive than it appears in his por
traits. His eyes were large and dark,
and glowed (I say literally glowed)
when he spoke on any subject with feel
ing or deep interest. I never uaw such
another eye in any other man, though I
have seen the most distinguished char
act rs of the ago." Tae above-mentioned
Interview is interesting as the picture of
one great poet given by another. It oc
curred at a social dinner where Scott
was merely a spectator, but he attracted
attention by replying to a question
which no other person in the room could
answer, and his reward was a smile and
an approving word from the poet. How
little did the inspired plowman imagine
that the lame boy who then attracted
his attention would reach such, distinc
tion still less that they two would di
vide the blithest honors in the literature
of tut r native land.
