An Unenviable Experience.

Dr. G. A. Martin had an experience with his autoniobile un Thanksgiving evening, about dusk, which was some- thing lu the nature of a "startler." He was Peturning from a professional cail in Wrentham, and had just climbed the hill this side of the Lake Pearl gate. Ascending the next rise hix machine waa just rounding the top, when he "stripped" his gears, taking ont all of the teeth, and of course, disconnecting his motive power. He at once applied hiis brake, but to no effect. He begau to

left his steering lever that moment hs would be "slewed" over the embank- went on one side, or over into the water on the other. Rushing backwards he

managed to reach the bottom of the bill in safety, going up the hill the other side of ths bollaw some ways, and finally running down again into the hollow, where it atopped. The doctor kept his wits about him through it all, but did a "heap o' thinking." He is going to sug- gest to the makers of the auto that there should be an auxiliary hand brake attached for just such emergencies.

The Opening Night,

Next week Friday evening is the open- ing entertainment of the winter uight'a course at the Congregational church, when the Harvard male quarcette and Miss Hennigar, reader, will appsar.

In modern times fruit growing has been pretty well reduced to a science, and I think I am safe to say that fruit growers know mnare about the best methods of culture than they are willing to give to the particular production they may be cultivating. There are bundreds, doubtless, who grow fruit to some ex. tent and who are iguoraut of the common methods of culture, and they will never kuow, because their, interest is In+l strong enough lu push them ca to ar quire a knowledge, which is spread all around them in far mers' papers and hor ticultural magazines, Like everything else, fruit farming Deeds energy, brains and a contiunal attention to little details, which make up the sum uf what is called success, There is no arbitrary division between the methods of growing fruit for profit and growing frult for pleasure, but it may be generally com- prehended in the following words: To grow fruit for pleasure, a person simply grows such fruits, and in such a way, as suits his own taste; whereas for profit he ignores his own taste and does his best to suit the taste of his prospective customers. What he strives for in both cases is success. These two objects may be called the home garden aud the com - mercial gardeu.

The home garden is dear lo the family The bousewifs gues there for Her sup plies; the children go there for the early fruits; the Irusband, if enthusiastic, goes there for his daily lessons, which may be of practical value on a large scale, if this small venture is a success; and the family go there because it is a pleasant placs. To maks this garden a success, aud profitable as well as pleas- ant, the caretaker will try to give varie- ty to as far as quality will permit. In some cases this will be very limited, as with the grape, or more varied, as the apple and pear, but always have a due regard to tbs hardiness and excellence
