and Cardinal Panebianco knelt before the
Pope. "Ah," said the Pope, "here is the

The Time for TransplantIng.

Again and again the question as to what
is the best season for transplanting comes
to US from all parts of the country. Peo
pie do not consider, as general thing,
that plants end trees differ in habits and
constitution, almost as much as the various
members Of the animal kingdom. They
have their likes and dislikes, as it were,
and they muss receive due consideration
to insure success. In q few words, our
expersence with he best planting season
is this: Any tree may be removed either
in autumn or spring, provided the oper-
alton has been performed according to es-
tablish ed rules. Early winter is by nc
means autumn planting; autumn planting;l
| is as soon as possible after the fall of the
leaf. Here is where too many planters fai
they wait entirely too long, and the cold
hard winds kill their trees before they be-
come fully established in their new footing
In most cases all ston fruits succeed bet
ter when removed in the spring, the ever.
greens also, unless the change is made late
in summer, say during August, choosing q
dull cloudy time. Apples and pears are
not SO particular; they only ask to be tret
ed with due repect. Still if there is any
breferance, it lies on the side of early aus
umn planting in which case the new root
let's will start out and cling to the new soil
Raspberries perhaps do the best wher
planted in autumn, bnt they must be thor
oughly mulched to prevent the frost from
heaving them ont of the ground.

It's passage through them, and it was
not until the window of the room in
which the body lay had been removed
and a portion Of the brickwork
knocked away, that it could be got
into the house. Hundreds Of persons
on Monday night saw the coffin hoist
ed to the apartment by means Of
block and tackle, and many specula-
ted as to how. with the added weight
of the deceased (728 pounds it
would be lowered again to the street.
The body had decomposed SO rapidly
that the workmen engaged were
greatly discomposed by the stencil,
and when it was screwed down" the
features were an undistinguishable
mass. On the following morning
great crowds squeezed their way into
the High Bridge to witness the de-
descent of the coffin. The operation
had for them an absorbing interest.
From the uppermost part Of the
breach in the breach in the brick
work five balks Of timber, placed one
ON top of another, projected, and
around this was fixed very strong
chain with tacklirg attocked. From
the level of the floor of the room pro

drake, Y elbow Dock-with the Iodides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the
most efficacious medicine yet known
for the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully
combined that the full alternative
effect of each is assured, and while
it is so mild as to be harmless even
to children, it is still so effectua1 as
to purge out from the system those
impurities and corruptions which
develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence
which prominent physicians all over
the country repose in it proves their
experience of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting it's virtues
have accumulated, and are con-
stantly being received, and as many
of these cases are publicly known,
they furnish convincing evidence of
the superiority of this Sarsaparilla
over every other Alternative medicine.
So generally is its superiority to any
other medicine known that we need
do no more than to assure the public
that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.
