why are you opposed TO it? Is it not very
great improvement on its Republican predeces-
sorse Are not the personnel and the efficiency
of its oficeholders rather better than the old ?
Has it not preserved the civil rights of every
citizen, without respect to previous condition
Has it not offered 10 all the enjoyment Of the
privilege of education? Have the free schools
been closed against any class? Has not impartial
justice been melted out by the courtss Have not
the last three years been an era Of peace, good
order, improvement in the extirpation of petty
crimes, higher social development, wider ranges

I'm 1853, when Hanover and other
parts Of Northern Germany were visited
by very malignant kind of smallpox,
the great anatomist, Langenbeck, tried
to discover 'the popularity of organic
structure which disposes one man to
catch the disease while his neighbor es-
capes" 81 have cut up more human
bodies than the Old Man of the Noun
tain with all his accomplices," ne writes
from Gottengen, in his semi-annual re-
port, "and, speaking only OF my primary
object, / must confess that ] am no wiser
than before But though the mystery OF
smallpox has eldded my search, my
labors have not been in vain; they have
revealed to me something else-the origin

The Growth Of Gardening.

II Is interesting to notice the extent to
which gardening has grown. In 1903
the chief products of our gardens were
cabbages, onions and garlic. Apple, pear,
cherry, and ounce trees seem to have
been the only fruit trees in England nj
that time. The plum tree was first in
troduced into this country in 1880, being
brought from Asia. The cockspur haw
thorn was first cultivated here in 1892.
The maple-leaved hawthorn was intro
duced into England from America in the
year 1888. A beautiful variety of alder
was first cultivated IN England in the
year $780, being brought from Switzer-
land, Siberia and other cold countries
The cedar was first cultivated here in
1864, and the common white larch, which
now covers with such excellent effect SO
many wild parts of the kingdom, but is
becoming diseased was accidentally
taken TO Scotland in 1887. Mr.. Menzes.
of Culdare, having procured four of these
plants from Siberia, gave two to the Duke
of Ath0ii, which are still in full vgor at
Dunked, and may be called the parents
of all the larch trees in the kingdom.
The mulberry tree was introduced in the
reign Of james l. The lime was brought
into England by the Romans, but it does
not appear to have been planted in Scot
land before The reign of Charles II. The
general cultivation ii carrots originated
with certain FlemiEgs, who fled hither
in the reign of Queen Elizabeth and set
tied at Sandwich, in Kent. Peas Were
rarity N that same reign. They we're
brough from Holland. Fuller speaks
of item as eft dainties for ladies'; they
came 50 far and cost so dear" The opin-
iols which prevail in respect of some
towers are curious. The snap-dragon,
for example, is thought by the less adj
vanced people in some countries to ex-
ercise supernatural inhuence-to have
the power of destroying charms and baf-
fling maledictions. Bachelors buttons
were viewed as having Il magical effect
on the fortunes of lovers. How oddly,
too, have some plants reached us SAT-
from, which was at one time cultivated
to such an extent IN Essex as to give its
name ID a town, came to US from abroad,
at the risk Of a life. Hakluyt was told
at Saffron Walden that pilgrim brought
from he Levant TO England, in the reign
of Edward LII, the first root of saffron,
which lie had found means to conceal in
his stall, made hollow for that purpose.
'If he had been taken, by the law Of the
country from whence it came, he had
died for the act" Saffron Hill, Holborp,
part of Ely Gardens, had its name from
the crops i bore.
