One for Fishing Purposes That Will be Comfortable and Safe. ‘THE EXPENDITURE IS SMALL AND THE EXERCISE HEALTHY—IF A MAN CAN DRIVE A NAIL AND HANDLE A SAW IT IS ALL THAT Is NECESSARY— THE MOST CONVENIENT BOAT FOR FISHING. (Copyrighted 1889.) Infinitely many men whose occupations tend to the exercise of their minds rather than their bodies find diversion in the use of tools for wood and iron working, generally the former, and very often these amateur workmen develop & degree of taste, ingenuity and skill that would do credit to the ablest artisans. The disposition is one that should be encouraged for the physical benefit derived from it, but still more because of the practical values of the exercise of inventive, creative and formative talent, especially among a people like ours, to whom it is impossible to make anything with- out at least endeavoring to improve upon their models. USE OF TOOLS. Nine men ont of ten have an innate confi- dence that they can use carpenters’ too whethey ther have ever tried to do so or not. It is not until one has made the attempt that he realizes the almost unconquerable tendency of a saw to squirm away from a straight line through a board; of a plane to make surfaces rougher instead of smoother; of an auger to bore crooked holes. Let us suppose that he has gone well beyond that rudimentary knowl- edge; that he has a good stock of tools and is disposed to make worthy use of them as a mat- ter of recreation. What shall he construct? MAKING A PUNT. Why, if he bas any water to float it in when it is done, there is nothing in the making of which he will be likely to have a deeper in- terest and from which, when it is made, he will derive more pleasure—proportionately to the effort for its attainment—than a boat. What sort of a boat? The “punt” is the thing to commence on. It will not be difficult to build, will cost very little in either materials, time or labor, and you will almost love it if you are fond of fishing. Obtain two sound and clear pine boards, smoothly planed, sixteen feet long, fifteen inches wide and three-quarters of an nch thick. Lay one on your bench and mark like diagram T. i The distance between A and A will be 16 feet; between A and B, 4 inches; from C to C, 8 feet. Saw your board out to the shape indicated by black lines, round the angles at C C toa gentle, easy curve, and smooth the edge accurately with the plane. Now lay the board so finished upon the other, scribe off its exact shape and finish up the second board so as to be precisely like the first. From an inch Page sixteen wide, cut outa piece shaped like the diagram X. ITS LENGTH must be 4 feet on the upper edge and 8 feet 4 inches at the bottom of the bevel. The small projections at the ends of the lower edge are to aid in setting it correctly in the middle of the long planks, across them, where th: dotted line D D appears in the T diagram.

The ar- Your frame will now have considerably more “rocker” on the bottom than you want, so you will have to plane them off straight on that side for about six or seven feet of the middle, stand- ing the frame down on the floor and gauging the effect by your eye until you get it just right. You will also have to straighten the edge bevel made by bending so to give parallel flat edges to nail your bottom boards to, as was the case with the punt.

Effects of Thinning Fruit Trees—Point- ers for Poultrymen and Farmers. Scarcely an annual exists, which usually dies at the close of the season after ripening its seed, but may be made to retain a vigorous ex- istence if its inflorescence be removed as soon as formed. Mignonette is a very fanfiliar ex- ample, for this may be allowed to bioom; but if its flower stalks ‘be cut down before its seed vessels are perfected, it becomes woody and shrubby, and will live and bloom for three or more successive years, But it will die the same year if allowed to ripen its seeds. To illustrate the point in question we have but to compare the single and double flowers. The common nasturtium is an annual, but the double nastur- tium has become a perennial. This is due to the fact that the flowers, pls of the faculty of producing seeds, do not exhaust the plant, aad tte probable that any flower render double by cultivation may become a perennial. WHY FRUIT TREES ARE INJURED. This explains why fruit trees are injured by being allowed to ripen too large a crop of fruit. If they are allowed to overbear themselves the trees are weakened, rendered temporarily un- productive or even killed. For this reason the thinning of fruit is one of the most important operations of the garden, although it is proba- bly the one less generally attended to. On the weaker branches of the peach and nectarine an average space of eight inches should be left between seek brace of fruit, and on the more Vigorous branches the space should not be much closer than five or six inches. The thin- ning of fruit in this way should not be confined to the peach and nectarine, but it should ex- tend to all of the fruits—especiaily to the vinc— apricot, apple and pear. It shouid be done with a bold, fearless hand; and the perfection of that which is left will amply reward the grower in the harvest time. But the reward will not be 80 much this year as next. The trees kept un- weakened by overproduction will be able to ripen their wood and deposit that store of in- spissated sap in their vessels so absolut@ly nec- essary for their fruitfulness next season. THE REASON FOR THE OFF YEAR, There is a general idea among farmers that every other season is the great bearing time for their fruit trees, If a heavy crop is har- vested this year, the next season will be con- sidered as “an “off year” for the fruit trees. The reason why some seasons go by without the fruit trees producing much fruit is that the trees ripened more fruit than they ought dur- ing the bearing year. The tree was injured by the heavy burden imposed upon it, and it took nearly a year for it to recover from the effects of it. If the fruitis thinned each season, there need be no off seasons for the fruit trees. 8. W. Campers. Bursting of the Cherry Tree. The bursting of the bark on the trunk and larger limbs of cherry trees is a very common occurrence in different sections of the coun- try, and this bursting usually causes the death of the trees. Various cures for this have been suggested at different times. Some have attrib- uted the bursting to thin, poor soil, hard un- cultivated ground; to the lack of gravel and sand, or to the lack of blue clay in the soil. It is true that some particular kinds of soil will diminish the amount of ascending sap in the tree and thus prevent the bursting of the bark. Shading the trunks of the trees from the sun has also been found to be beneficial in this respect; but this is often impossible and not at all advi able. Cherry trees growing in the richest soil will suddenly have the bark on the limbs and trunk to burst open and peel half off. The trees continue to grow vigorously on the sound side, but the bursting continues and the wounds spread until the trees have to die, If burst- ing trees are examined, it will be seen that it is the “corticle” or outer ring-bark which bursts first and seems to cause all of the damage. It this is slit with a knife and peeled off bursting of the cherry tree will be prevented. Simply slitting the tree is worse than nothing. Entire peeling alone is beneficial. FROM SMOOTH TO ROUGH BARK. THE FATE OF AN USHER. From Harper's Bazar. The scene was a young man's boudoir, if such @n anomaly can exist, the time, late in the evening. when confidences find easiest expres- sion; the people were the boudoir'’s owner, in a négtigé compounded of dress clothes and a smoking jacket, and the friend of his bosom, somewhat similariy attired, with the comforta- ble abomination of a cigarette between his fingers. “Just let me read it to you again,” said he of the smoking jacket, straightening himself in his chair, and taking a worn-looking paper from the table. “Something may suggest it- self to you. Iwantto have it all right, you know, so that when the notice is mentioned I shall be ready with a good suggestion. Now, then, listen: ‘Miller—Waldron.—On Wednes- day, the 28th instant, at the Church of the Seven Angels, by the Right Reverend Arthur St. John Forbes, D.D., assisted by the Reverend Francis Willard Mason, George Northup Mil- ler and Adaline Bell, daughter of the late Maj.

I was just ready to swear off from all social dissipations and go into training until fall for the sake of my health, There’s Green, he’s a good fellow; have him.” Miller shook his head. “I won't have Green nor anybody else,” he said, clasping his hands beltind his head and throwing himself back in his chair. “I'll have you, feeble, I wish you could be best man. There’s plenty to get and little to do in that situation; but Ada‘, brother—confound him—I had to ask him,” “Of course.

I must say I think it's shabby of you to desert me on that account. Still, i will be agnanimous, and tell you the news, although it would serve you right if I didn't. She has accepted, after all; her father has consented to her coming to town for the occasion. Why he wanted to refuse at all I can’t imagine. But it is like him; everybody knows what he is, Brooks laughed with a more interested man- ner than he iad shown heretofore, “I don’t,” he said; “what is he?” “Why, haven’t you met him? “Yes, but ouly once or twie for more than a minute. oe and then not He is a handsome h, iron-gray hair gives any man a distin— ished look, and he is tall and straight, which elps out the idea, but he is a perfect tyrant.

It seems that he went out there to offer Miss Howard his hand and heart, and was fairly rushed off the place by his host.” “Sensible man, Who told of it—Radford?” “I don’t know; it was told.

The nooks and crannies are filled, and still they com ‘They are vandals, They stand up in the seats; walk upon each other's skirts.

There are tall ones who stalk like the stately deer—only it is not the deer who does the stalking; but never mind; there are short ones who chat amiably up at’ me, trying to sppear unconscious of the gaping crowd, and these trot like little foxes; then there are some unac- customed, half-tiedged ones who are fright- ened, and get over the ground like a pair of dividers, But I am up with them, neck and neck, so to speak, as I turn them into their places and stroll unconcernedly back for another victim in my natural manly gait. And now they are all shown up—and a very com- fortably gaudy gathering they are—with fans waving and jewels scintillating. How am I getting along?” “Not at all at present.” ‘But how was I?” randly! We had just arrived at the inter- esting part. I was standing on tiptoe, ankle and all, to see the bride come in.” He nodded. ‘Remain in that position, if you please,” he said. “The organist is playing and leaving off at his pleasure, and any ingre- think that he might have been declined with thanks. I suppose it sounds heartless, but peculiar advantages belong to a girl who hasn't any father. Brooks rose to his feet and dropped his cigar- ette end into a receiver; then turning an ai mated countenance toward his host, he grasped his hand and shook it firmly. “I'll see dient of the stuffing would, at this moment of excitement, be willing to stand upon the fore- head of its fainting neighbor to get a better view.

E. P. 8. The Potato Rot. . Every year the farmers dread the potato rot, which has done great damage in seasons past. The rot first appeared in Ireland in 1847 and was cog ree into this country but recently, voted themselves to trying to see, that they might not have come entirely in vain.
