We vould now call them medium height, are heading them as low as we can give them thorough cultivation and :iss under them with teams, and this is becoming the practice In this vicinity at this time, writes a Cumberland County (111.) correspondent of the Farmers' Review. I think there is very little in high or low head as to borers. High heads are a unless the little more apt to trees be set leaned a little to the southwest. Probably the high headed trees would lose more apples In a storm than ones, but the ones sometimes thresh the ground and knock some of the fruit off and the limbs touching the ground are apt to have poor and bad colored fruit. Would advise to keep the heads as low as you can to cultivate under, as you can do a better job of spraying on a low bead than on a high headed tree, and do it more rapidly, ajso easier to keep caterpillars or other Insects off low fruit trees and much easier to gather the fruit. We aim to keep our tree heads as low as possible to have them so they do not interfere with cultivation, and we call our orchards as they are now medium-headeand have gotten them as near right as we can put them and cultivate.

They live in retreats at or just beneath the surface of the soil, and a little investigation in infested grass lands or about hills of corn troubled by this insect should result in uncovering the depredators. They work on corn in various ways, sometimes tunneling the stalks, occasionally eating holes In the sides of the stems or feeding to some extent on the leaves. There were some injuries of this kind last year, and as a rule trouble of this nature may be prevented by early fall plowing, since this deprives the web worms of their accustomed provender before they have an opportunity to go into hibernation, and we should expect a considerable number of them to perish before any green food such as young corn is available in the spring. Another preventive measure would be to delay planting as late as possible, in the hope that a considerable number of the web worms would succumb before the corn came up. Another precaution which might be taken in planting sod lands would be to put in about twice the usual amount of seed. In the hope that a fair stand would be secured, in spite of Inju ries. This would necessitate some thinning on areas where web worms were not abundant, but in any event this would be preferable to replanting. There is no pract ical method of checking outbreaks of this character in cultivated fields, owing to the expense Involved. About the only thing that can be done following severe injury is to replant.

American Poetry. American poetry is occasional, not professional; something aside from the day's work, instead of being the day's work. Browning wrote a poem a day for a stated period, applying his every working hour to the task undertaken. Browning is an example of a professional poet. We cannot boast of such an example. John Burroughs boasts of only Hawone poem called "Waiting." thorne and Webster wrote two or three poems. Cooper wrote three. Bryant had a day's work to do in a newspaper office, as did Eugene Field, while Emerson had lectures to deliver. Sidney Lanier was a flute player in a Baltimore orchestra. Joaquin Miller is writing peems while he plows like Burns. Billiards at Sea. "Can you imagine playing billiards in a heavy gale?" said the captain. "Do you wonder that our new liners, with their elevators and telephones and gymnasium, don't have billiard tables as well? One ship once had a billiard table the Great Eastern. "The wonderful Great Eastern had a billiard table on a swinging deck. This deck was supposed to counteract the ship's motion, and to keep the table steady. But it failed to do so, and very remarkable were some of the shots made on the Great Eastern's table In rough weather. "Nevertheless, the table was kept for years, and was a popular institu tion aboard the big boat. But no other boat before or since has ever bothered to introduce billiards."

That at least some people believe It has ao excuse is proved by the following tale: An ancient rabbi came to a city where all the people were truthful, married one of the inhabitants, had two children and prospered. One day a neighbor called when the rabbi's wife was washing her head, and the rabbi, going to the door, was seized by false modesty and said that she had gone out. Thereupon both of his children died, and, as no one died in that city before reaching old age, the neighbors made inquiries, the rabbi confessed what he had done, and wa3 ordered to leave the city immediately Considered the Proprieties.

The Clyde claims both as its offspring. The Comet, constructed by Mr. Henry Bell, Hashed its four shovel-shapepaddle on each of its four wheels in the year 1812, and carried on its deck of 40 feet by 10 as many passengers as its three horse-powe- r The could negotiate. Comet was so conspicuously successful that two or three more boats of a larger capacity were immediately built, and the citizens of Glasgow Mr. became the envy of mankind. Lawrence, of Bristol, determined that England should not be left behind in the race, tried one on the Severn, and was so delighted with the result that he steamed with it up the Thames, intending to reap a harvest from citv men on their way to and from business. He overlooked the company of Watermen, who made such a fuss about this inhuman com petition that Mr. Lawrence and his steamship fell back to the Severn. From 1813 to 1823 no vessel was built in Britain of a greater tonnage than 500, the average being only about 60. The Lusitania of those days was the Atlas, described by the contemporary press as the "largest vessel ever built." She was impelled, says an "three enthusiastic reporter, by mighty engines of 100 horse-powe- r each." This gigantic vessel (which could be stowed away quite comfortably in the hold of the Lusitania), was built at Rotterdam, and launched In the summer of 1S28. web-line- mis-lion- Tree Ruined by Careless Pruning.
