The Apple a Timber Tire.
In loiiio sections of till country the
tipple tree In looked on for It product
as n plop of timber, as well an a fruit
producing article. For thin renson the.
old Merman fruit jjrowprs In tlio vleltk
Ity of riillndclpliln, always aimed to
Ret A nice stmlKlit trunk to an apple
tree and trnln It up comparatively lil?h
before allowing It to form a bead. Mod
erns lmvo supposed that the chief ob
ject to be KOiucd I'.V this method of
training was In order to fuctlltnt
plowing operntlnns, but the ultimate
end In having a good trunk for timber
pur pi wen was not forgotten. In this
particular region, the wood wns used
chletly for shoemakers' lusts a busi
ness which, in l lie earlier history of
1'hlladelplila, did much to help the
trade of that famous manufacturing
center of population. The apple re
gions have mostly disappeared from
that vicinity; but other sections of the
country seem to understand the value
of apple tni- wood. It Is stated In the
Country tlentlcman that a fruit grower
of Cnyuga sol'' 1 well-known llrm of
lawmakers of Philadelphia Olsston
tc Kong the trunks of some of their
trees, which were cut away because
the trees bad grown too closely to
gether, to the value of $.".00. In this
case, the wood was of course used for
the bundle of saws. Medina's.
Why She Wntitril n Continuance.
An old lawyer once told about a case
be had, but which he didn't keep.
An old Irlidiwnmiiu sent for him in
grent haste one day. She wancd him
to meet her In the criminal court. lie
. hastened to the court house all out ol
breath. The woman's sou wns about to
be placed on trial for burglary. When
the lawyer entered the court room the
old woman rushed up to him and in uu
, excited voice said:
"Mr. U , Ol want ye to git a con-
tinynnce for me b'y .llimnlc."
"Very well, mndnm," replied tlio law
yer. "1 will do bo If 1 can, but it will
be necessary to present to the court
some grounds for a continuance. What
shall I snyV"
"Hhnre, ye rnn Jist tell the court Ol
want a eontinyance till Ol can get a
better lawyer to try the case."
The lawyer nearly fainted when be
heard this, and after telling the woman
that she would have to get another law
yer to get the continuance lie hurried
buck to his ofllce a very angry man.

Cultivate the habit of breathing

breaths. If this habit was universal,
i thero Is little doubt that pulmonary af

An Kugllsh physician calls attention to
this fact, that deep and forced respira

how thinly one may be clad. He was
himself half frozen to death one night,
and began taking deep breaths mid

possible. The result wus that he was
