Nature's way is to let the tree reach maturity before It sets to work to effect its re production by seed. "We may' by dwarfing the tree obtain fruit earlier.

In some cases and under some conditions the same varieties of trees 1 1 will bear earlier than at others, and in testings new varieties dwarfing is often allowed iu order to get at results earlier, but when thls: Is done extra care must be given or the vitality of the tree will be injured In the ordinary ore-hard iti is best to let the tree bear in its own good time vathtntithan attempt any forc-1ngr rtlrltH-ftte and Jertilize so to give a healthy, vigorous growth.

Most trees, if thrifty and vigorous, are ineliued to overbear, to set more fruit than they can properly mature jj'ithout a too severe draft on the vitality One reason, why so many trees bear fruit only in alternate years is that they are allowed to overbear to such an extent one sea: son that tree is so exhausted that requires," the next season's growth to recuperate.

"It is not easy to define a ghost," replied the "but-the evidence convinces a plain person like myself that there lis "a thai can be heard, produce speech, make noises. "The best Virginia sMctmeii was fthe Smith "Tell of that." "When the late Dr. A.

Ati'enipty; cradle In his dwelling began to rock about ten In the morning and continued for an hour each day for a month. Th6 cradle was changed from room to It-came to time promptly and rocked wherever located. Hundreds went to see it, among them ninny ministers." Throe are living witnesses to this curious automatic motion of the child's The preachers appointed one of their number to seize the 'cradle when rocking and hold it. The late Dr.

Penn was the gentleman the cradle started he gripped" It, but it resisted so stoutly that he let it go. It seemed It would tear Itself to pieces if he held on." Nothing was found to explain the motion. It was fixed together as originally and it began on schedule time to rock again. It continued for a month, then quit and never rocked anymore. No one ever could tell, why it behaved In such an unusual "You did not see the cradle? "No.

It was before ray day. I think Bishop Granbery, of this State, did see it. Dr. Smith as a matter of fact person, robust In brain, and not inclined to believe in "sper-its." I asked him about the cradle. He said the cradle did rock as reported, but the discoveries of science would explain Jts actions at some future day and that ghosts had nothing to do with it, Science up to date has not found out the reason of the "What is your theory?" 4I have none.

I am only trying to unthink the knotty question: An English writer of note thinks the noises are made by spirits who have landed on the planet and got lost They do not mean to -frighten peo ple, but are only fumbliiigabbut trying to find their way Didn't your Mr. Wesley believe In ghosts?" Very much. He had a reason to be a disciple of these strange visitors. For years there Was a 'something' that made noises In the rectory of Mr. Wesley's father.

Is as follows: "The difference between the cost of a mass of bjil-. lion and the face value of the piece coined from It." Now, the Sherman act called for the purchase by the Government of 4,500,000 ounces of silver bullion each month-at the current or market; price for silver; bullion.

The Government paid, for the bullion in special Treasury notes.

whtn, in the mineral th'inirtment of the Virginia exhibit (which was under my vision) there were samples of ochres from counties of the Stated as follows: From near Midway, in Augusta; from near Millboro.in Hath; from the Iron Mountain, in from the Bermuda Ochre Company jf Chesterfield, both crude and man-" ufaetured; from near Pearisburg, in Giles; from the Arminius mines, in Louisa; from Tye in from the Oxford Ochre CompanyJ near Marksvllle (now Stanley), in Page; from! Chambers Mountain near Goshen, i in Roclibridge, several varieties; fro near Keezletown, in Kockingham.i several kinds, made into "Hamilton's paints: from the Wilderness, in Spptt83ivnnia; from Paint Lick Mountain, in TazewellJ from licetl Creek, in Wythe, and ochre and umber from Overalls, in Page. 'j In little mineral exhibit at Chicago One'of about fifty sani pies', according to the last edition, of the: official catalogue! of exhibits! there were" three samples. of ochres shown, as follows: From C. I). Tins- ley, of Petersburg; from the Virginia World's Fair managers, locality not given, and from B.

J. Carter, of Mid- dleburg, Loudon county. In West Virginia's great exhibit of her mineral resources at Chicago one of the Jmost creditable there, there were shown yellow, from W.m II.

Having had referred to me a.t Chicago for examination and award hundreds of samples of mijieral paints, both jn their natural and manufactured condition, from various States and countries, I was greatly Impressed the large number and Variety of such paints exhibited by New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and other States, especially of the paints manufactured -from shales, slates, clavs, numerous varieties of iron ores, all of which are abundant in Virginia and West Virginia, and which conld be easily utilized in the same direction. In fact, after days spent in examining mineral pigments at; the fair, I do not hesitate to say that Virginia has the undeveloped materials for becoming fthe leading State in this particular" industry, It also, led me to regret that we had no provision for a survey whicli shall gather and information In reference to the economic mineral resources "of the State, and Hi us lead to a utilization of these somewhat Commensurate in importance with that which has been so begun with our coal and iron ores. Ochre beds, or deposits of one kind or another, always accompany, in varying quantities and qualities, all deposits of iron ore, and since iron ore beds of one kind or another, are found in'nearly every portion of the Virginias, it follows that ochres are more or less abundant In many localities In these States; but many of these are comparatively- valueless, because they, do not furnish the shades of colors that are most in demand- As before stated, a considerable quantity "of excellent yellow ochre (thelight, or lemon yellow being the most valuable) has been mined' near Bermuda "Hundred in countyprobably from proximity to the iron ore beds of Virginia's first iron Fine red "ochres, uuv bers, and siennas result from roasting the pyrites from the celebrated Arminius and adjacent mines riea.r Mineral City, in Louisia county when" the ores of these and other mines In Virginia's' great gold belt, one over 200 miles long, are utilized In Sur State hi the manufacture of sulphuric acfd, the production of various shades -and" grades of, mineral paints as by-products will here become a new and very important industry, Vast quanti ties of hresand ochre-ons clays and umbers abound in the rerriferona shales, as also do iron-ores, that extend for more than 300 miles diagonally aeross Virginia along the eastern borderof the great among the foot-hlUs and slofies of the western Blue Bldge.

Jki. HoiTiiKiss, Consulting Geologist Prophecy James Blaine, in one of his campaign speeches, some years before.his death, prophetical' foretold the present condition of business, and the paralj-sjs which has come to our industries.

If spoken now, in the presence of the ruin, suffering and despondency that prevails, he could not have more accurately portrajed the industrial prostration and enforced idleness which afflicts the country. His words should be read and re-read by every one into whose hands they may fall, for they are words of. wisdom and must make a deep impression: i I love my country and my countrymen. I am an. American, and 1 rejoice every day of my life that I am.

I enjoy the general prosperity of my country, and kiiow, that the work-ingmeu of this land are the best paid, the best fed and the best clothed of any laborers on the face of the earth. Many of them have homes of their own. They are surrounded by all the 'comforts, and many. of. the luxu-ries of lile.

"1 shudder, however, at the thought that the time must come when all this will bechangfd, when the general prosperity of the country will be destroyed, when the great body of workingmen in this land, Who are now" so prosperous, will hear their wives and children cry for bread; that the dy must come when the great factories and manufactories of this land will shut down, and where there is now life and activity there will be the silence of the tombf And the reason why this must be is. this: The great wing of the Democratic party are determined ta establish the doctrine offree trade in this They will be assisted by their Northern allies. There is a great body of visionary, but educated men who" -are employed day by daJp-rwritlng free trade essays and arguments in favor of the doctrine, Wen-find- their way to every newspaper in this land. The great body of our people have never experienced themselves the sufferings which, always result When the' protective principles are laid aside. Poisoned and excited by the wild statements of these writers and the demagogic appeals of the Democratic speakers, the result will be that in the "very near future these' forces which are now working will be strong enough to' defeat at the polls the party advocating the doctrine of protection: It must inevitably, follow that uncertainty and doubt will ensue.

The business meii of the country, fearing destruction of the principles of protection, will decline to engage -In -business, conse-, quently niills will 'shut down, and the workingmen will thea be thrown out of employment. The people will then see as they have never seen before that they-can not be prosperous and- have work while this principle is threatened. In the midst of sufferings they will learn that -theonly. way they can be prosperous and happy is to vote for the party that has built up the industries by which they have gained a livelihood) because they will then see clearly that when the manufactory Is shut down there is no demand for the only thing which they have to sell, and that is their labor.

Bark and young wood in autumn and winter are laden with stores manufactured in the: leaves the yearx before and stored-up for use when required. Generally speaking, the trait buds, too, are formed the year before, and the management should be such as will promote the development of fruit buds at the ex pense of the Tleaf buds.

The fruit grower, so far as he is able, must check the growth of one and develop the other for fruit formation. But after the fruit is fully formed it is essential that too. much be not allowed to remain on the tree, especially if aline quality of fruit is desired.
