Mrs Langtry's Feet.

" Twoladic came into my store the other day, just after Mrs langtry'g shoes Lad been sent here from the Monongahsla lionse," said a JPittsbnrph shoemaker to a reporter. '' They vert- too small, had never been worn, and the orders were to have them stretched They were the laced shoe?, extending abive the knee, which Mrs Langtry woie in Rosa lind'on Thursday evening. I left them sit ting on the counter, and, of course, their queer shape could not help attracting atten tion. These two ladies showed some curiosity, and when I informed them to whom they belonged they were very anxious to try them on, and implored me to allow them to be taken to the hotel. I could not ivory well rcf use their request, and allowed them to be carried away. When they were returned I inquired who could wear them, and was informed that ouo lady could get them on. This rather astonished me, for I knew that there was one lady who could, and when I asked about her I was told that she had not seen them. I sent them back aud she got them on, with two inches to spare. They were Mo. 4, and were laced from above the ankle. A reporter came to me yesterday afternoon and asked me if such and such were not the facts, and I told him they were; but I did not start ,'.> ) story that the shoes had been to the hotel. The ladies sent a lawyer to me tbismorning, demanding to know whether I was the author, and I informed him that I was not. The ladies can console themselves with the thought, how ever, that Mra Langtry could uot wear them after I had stretched them, and I was com pelled to open a seam below the ankle and put on the same fastenings as were above. The shoes were made of sealskin, in London, and Mrs Langtry wore them forthe'tirst time in this city. The actress has a pretty and well-shaped foot, excepting the ankle, which is inordinately large."

A fortune Saved.

A French paper relates a curious anecdote o£ the first of the Rothschilds, who, it alleges, was a simple pedlar. One day ho was (joing to a neighbouring town, ladon i with a roll of cloth to sell at the fair, when he was overtaken by another pedlar, who was going by the same road for the same 1 purpose, but who was more fortunate, as he was driving au ass carrying his stuff. A conversation began between these two honest tradesmen, when one said to the other, whom we may call Rothschild the First, "Kase yourself of that burden and put it on the ass." This was done, and they journeyed on till they came to a deep and narrow ravine, across which a single plank served as a bridge. The ass was going over, followed by his master, when the prudent Rothschild paid, "Wait a mo ment, I will tako back my cloth, it is all my fortune, and accidents often happen at such places as this." So eayiug, he took his load from the ass's back. At the same time he resumed his load, and while iixing it on his shoulder, tho ass and his master stepped upon the plank, which sank nnder their weight, and they disappeared into the chasm. M. Kothschiid remained In safety on tho bank, bearing with him that single. i bale ficm which the enormous fortune of I his family grew in succeeding years,

Pruning.

I uxlikvs there is no system of pruning tho branches of trees that will apply indis criminately to all kinds of fruit trees, or even the same kinds on {all the different soils, aspects, or localities which we possess. The climate of Hew Zealand is so varied, that a somewhat different system may even b» required for the same variety of fruit tree ; and yet there are fixed prin ciples which must guide tho operator in dealing with each tree according as circum stances require. However varied may be the special manner of treating different trues, they .should all be under the low headed, or what i* called (he medium dwarf system. Not many years ago, even even in in XJritaln, the trees were almost all grown as large standards, - but this now is almost superseded by | the present system of dwarfing all the trees. Standards take up a large quantity of apace, and take a long time before tney begin to arrrive »t a profitable fruit - bearing state, Such trees usually attain a large size. About tea or fifteen years elapse before much fruit Is obtained. Although such trees a<*o not to bo despised, as after they ooinmunco fruiting they will continue, on good soil, giving crops for a number of years j but only a good sheltered situation will, as a role, suit them; for being tall their fruit is apt to get injured by heavy ' winds. But there are other methods which do away with all these disadvantages. Among a variety of systems I will mention a few: Dwarf pyramid, Dwarf bush, Espalier, and Cordon. But some of these systems are too advanced for New Zetland as yet. The time is, however, fast approaching when they will be all tried, and I believe successfully. At present what is called the medium dwarf bush and pyramid will suit beat. This system has many advantages over the large standard. I will try and enriinerate a few of theae advantages : 1. A low headed tree makes strong up right branches, takes up less room, and therefore can be planted oloser together, giving more trees per acre. 2. Trees with a low head making a more vigorons upright growth, the branches are stronger and ate therefore more capable of sustaining a heavy crop of fruit without bending or breaking. 3. A low tree does not suffer so much from the effect of high or boisterous winds; the fruit is not so liable to get blown off or injured before it becomes ripe, 4. A systematic pruning can be more e&sily given them each season, and the trees kept iH a round handsome form instead of being bent aod warped out of all shape as is often the case, with high headed standard trees. They also can be more easily at tended to, washing them with thick lime and water to kill the moss or insects which do them a great deal of injury. 5. A low tree will not require to have long stringers for roots. Long stringers will not be necessary to keep the tree in position, its bulk presenting a less lever age to the force of the wind, and being less liable to be blown over, and can ba root-pruned when required, so as to promote the growth of the fine fibroas rootlets, which trees ought topossess, so as to be ablo to produce fine crops ot frnit. Bnt whatever system of training is adop ted, a' certain amount of rest or winter Droning will need to be performed, and I will therefore eive a few of the reasons for sometimes using the knife in the winter, with'afew ideas how to guide operator :— Rest-Prtjsln o.—Whatever be the course pursued in regard to summer management, rest-pruning should be resorted to with trees of all ages when and where deficiencies exist. The pruner in this case may merely remcvnbsr ttiat a tendency exists in most J free - growing yhoots to lengthen, and i that it very frequently serves the cnl- 1 tivator's purposes much better to cause one strong shoot to branch into four or I five subordinate one*. This the reat pruner's knife can accomplish under ordinary circumstance. INDUCING SPUR*. —One of the most important offices of rest pruning, and which in carrying out a dwarfing system neels to be practised annually on many of the long shoots of young and free-growing trees, until the side buds are made to derelope in some degree. If you stand before a young tree about six feet high, and see one or more of the side branches much stronger than the rest, with their ends more upright, showing plainly that they too would be leaders in time as much so as the centre and true leader, same teaches that if the top or tops are merely cut off or stopped the ascending force is divided, and the leading character is lost from that hour to those shoots. But science may be at fault for all that, and practice alone must guide the pruner as to which of four buds to cut to. If you take the point of a shoot and bend it to you there are eyes or buds on the upper side of it; alao on the under side, and on the right and left sides aa veil. Now the question is to which of these buds is the shoot to be cut, and to that science cannot direct you—at least, not to threoof them-Rcience being based on fundamental rules. If you understand it you will never cut a side branch in any trie or bush to a bud directly ou the upper side of it, because it is natural or funda mental that the top bud left on the upper side will either take the lead, or by grow ing inwards crowd the distance between it and the stem or trunk of the tree. A pruner may work to get more flowers, more fruit or timber, or be may only want a more regular disposition of the branches, but none of these can be had by crowding them. Still there are three more chances in the thiee buds left out of the four, but as science does not go by chance it cannot tell which of the three' buds is the right one to cut. If you cut to a bud on the under side of the shoot that bud will make a shoot which will crow outward?, and if there is room in that direction, that is the best way for it to grow. But suppose there is another shoot which occupies, or which, will soon occupy that space, then you are causing a. new one to grow in that direction which will crowd that part; therefore, cutting to the under sido bud in such a case is manifestly wrong. Let us now take a bud on the left side of the sUoot, and cut to it. This also may be right or wrong, na it happens. A leader rising from the left side ot a shoot will grow more to the left

than the shoot itself would do were it not stopped; and if that left side is already better furnished than the right side, there will be more crowding than need be ; and it is just the sameon,the ngh side of the branch. This teaches us to stop an aspiring leader, to lessen its ferce in that direction, never to stop to a bud on the upper side of it, and to be guided to 'the right bad to cut to by the rest of the blanches, choosing a bud on that side where they are less crowded, and so by directing a new growth to the more open part oftne tree, balancing the whole more eqnally. . : (To be Vontfaued.)

A sensible Woman.

RfiADin the light of the recent breach of promise oases, the following story taken jrom an ancient chronicle, will, no doubt, interest some of our fair readears. Lndwig L, Duke of Bavaria,' laid siege to the heart of the beautiful Countess Lndmilla yon Pogen, the daughter of a Bohemian king, whose husband had been slain in battle not long after their marriage. The Duke paid her frequent visit* at her Castle of Frankenstein, and long besought her favour, but in vain. At last »he one day sent for him, with the declaration that she was now ready to give a decisive answer to his suit. After dining with the Duke, the Countess led him into a large room, where she directed his attention to an arras on which were embroidered three knights fully equipped, and then addressed him as i follows : " Noble lord, yon assure me of Sour love and wish, me to reciprocate it; you will promise on yenr sacred 'word of honour, in the presence of there three knights, that yon will take ms to be your wife, I will not reject your suit." The Duke did not hesitate to maks the required promise. Then suddenly the tapestry parted asunder, and out stepped, clad in full armour, three noble' Bohemian knights of the families i Chotek, Rosenberg, and Chlum, and the Countess said to them, " You are ray| witnesses I" "We have heard the declaration of the Prince," answered the Chevalier yon Rosenberg. Startled at this unlooked-for denoument, the Dake left the castle and did not return until JLudmilla's year of mourning had ex pired, when he c&me to lead her to the hy meneal altar in fulfil tfient of his ''sacrad" promise.—" illustrirtes Sonntagsblatt."
