Transplanting f Tie Kvrrirrron.
Tt Is recognized finiong planters that
more risk attends tlie transplanting of
evergreens than deciduous trees. This
applies with more force to those of a
broad-leaved character, fuich as the
holly, evergreen magnolia and ma
h on l.i are examples of. Why this
should be Is a imrprise to many,
yet the cause Is not far tocek. When
deciduous trees arre p1anted It Is
either spring or sntuuin, -when they
are bereft of foliage. At such times
Ihe calls on the roots are not so Im
portant ns they are when foliage is
to be supplied. The evergreen Is
never without foliage; and it Is be
cause of this so much more care Is
required In transplanting it. There Is
no reason why so much care should
be taken to preserve the leaves, when,
by reducing their number, the safety
of the tree would be so much ad
vanced. Veantlfylne; tti Farm Home,

road. It will not be necessary to
make the entire sketch of fence of
this rustic work unless desired; a sec
tion or two will answer, and Is espe
cially attractive when used In connec
tion with a hedge. The artist has
drawn the Illustration from n section
of fence which separated the lawn
from an orchard. The .length of rustic
fence on cither side of the gate was
but ten feet, nnd beyond that consisted
of a well-kept hedge of California pri
vet. The posts in this case were parts
of the trunk of a cherry tree which
was destroyed In a storm. The tubs
on each gatepost were small tobacco
palls cut In half nnd covered with
baric from the woods. In them each
spring was planted roots of dwarf
cunnas, which In the full were taken
out and stored In the cellar. Such
gates and fences can be made at a
trifling expense, and are handsome
enough to surround any borne. New

Single and Double Flowers.
Florists Invariably look with dlsfa
ror upon single flowers, for they neith
er handle well nor appear attractive
to their patrons. The petals of a sin
gle flower fall sooner, as a rule, than
! those of a doublo flower, which may
be accounted for In the fact that the
Inner pot n Lb of the latter are trans
formed stamens, and these are more
firmly attached than simple petals.
The objection to single flowers li
generally contlnod to thoso used for
cut-flower purposes. No one will deuy
( the beauty and line form of a well
grown single peony, and even a good
single rose reaches the heart of many
persons before a double one. Slugle
hollyhocks, too, are at tractive and less
formal than the double.
Many persons will not appreciate
the reference to the single peonies,
for, strange to say, they are very un
common. A slugle tree-peony Is even
more rare. The writer considered It a
treat to see a number of the latter re
cently. Fully expanded, the flowers

Capturing tigers by a novel method
Is now being adopted In Sumatra and
Is proving almost Invariably success
fill. As soon as a tiger's hair has been
found, natives are employed to con
struct a wooden fence nine feet long
and four feet wide a short distance
away from It, and In this Inclosnre Is
then placed ns a bnlt a dog, which t
tied to one of the fence posts. A nar
row entrance leads Into the Inclosnre,
nnd. there, deftly concenled under
earth, leaves and boughs of trees. Is
plnwd a strong shcol trap, which Is so
designed that any anmlal that places
Its foot on It Is crrtnlu to be held cap
tltv. The trnp Is of recent Invention and
consists of strong steel plates and
equally strong springs. When It Is set
the plates form a sort of platform, and
ns soon ns the tiger which has been
lured thither by the dog vets his foot
thereon the springs are released, and
the cruel steel grips the logs and holds
It fast.
Towerfnl ns a tiger K lie cannot free
himself from such twndnge, and
those wlrro have set the trap are never
far away he Is In a thort time either
killed tr securely caged. At the same
time tbt dog Is released, nnd. Indeed.be

Swiss Tom to Aunllsh Furl.
The town of Davos, writes a Swiss
correspondent, is considering a bold
scheme for the Abolition of all the or
dlr.ry forms of fuel. It Is proposed to
erect an extensive electric plant at the
confluence of two large mountain tor
rents, whose united waters will supply
the necessary motive force. A large
firm of Swiss electricians has been
studying the problem for over a year
and has obtained the concession of the
forces of the torrents alluded to. The
same firm has bought rut new electric
heating and cooklngnpparatusespeclal
ly designed for the scheme. The tlrst
cost of tlie installation Is estimated
to be 8.500,000 francs. Already elec
tricity Is not only used for lighting
and motive power, but is adopted in
many villas for cooking and heutlng
and in one of the largest bakeries. The
idea is to do away with all contamina
tion of the air by the use of fuel.

In possession of Dill OflVrdlng, a ho

curiosity. The owls are two months
old now, nud so far have shown no
signs of feathering, and this adds to
the monkey likeness. They have
large, staring eyes like the owls, even
the beak being depressed, but the fore
head runs back like that of the mon

owl well known Is absent. Tho vocal
