SOME OF the boosted journals of the couu-
try had long and minute accounts of the
attempted assassination of Guiteau by Bill
Jones, and in some of them there was a de-
scription, by Jones himself, of the manner
of attack and the reasons for making it.
This was exceedingly enterprising journal
ism, the only thing incorrect about the
whole matter being the fact that no such at
tack was ever made by Bill Jones, and the
real criminal has never yet been discovered.

Farm and Garden Notes.

Heliotropes need moisture and heat
to strike root, but potted in sandy
soil, with glass tumbler placed over
them, they will root quickly in May or
any summer month.
If old fuchsias are cut down they will
send out quantities of fresh shoots but
if you desire TO keep them in good form,
cut off the old branches and pinch in
the new ones, and fresh growth will
soon push out.
The theory that variety of potato is
limited to about fourteen years is not
new, as some suppose, but may be found
mentioned on page fifty-seven of the
Transactions of the London Horticul-
tural Society,"" as far back as 1907
Give each fruit tree in the garden at
least few shovelfuls of manure, and if
the same treatment is extended to the
orchard, a good return will be made.
The way TO obtain abundant crops of
fruit every year is to manure the trees
yearly.
One of the best remedies for the cur
rant and gooseberry worm is to sprinkle
the bushes with a strong solution of
copperas water, using gallon of water
to a quarter of a pound of copperas,
and applying it from watering-pot, a
single application killing the worms as
'dead as door-nail.p
Grease is fatal to all insect life. In
sects breathe by means of mall porest
on their sides. Grease or oil that comes
in contact with the insects closes the
pores and stops the breathing. Mercu-
rial ointment kills as much by the lard
in it as by the mercury-that is, so far
as the vermIn are concerned, but not
as to the animals that lick it oft from
their bodies, so that almost any oily
or greasy application will be destruc-
tive TO insect vermin that infest ami.

the most good.

History of Glass,

In the year GIG A. D., messengers
were sent out" according to Bede, from
Wearmouth, England, to Gaul, France,
to fetch makers of glass (artifcers p
"who were at this time unknown in Eng
land, that they might glaze the windows
of the church, with the cloisters and
dining-rooms." Bede adds that "they
taught the English nation their handi-
craft, which was well adapted for inclos-
ing the lanterns of the church and for
the vessels required for various uses.'
About this time, Archbishop Wilfred of
York "filled with glass" the windows of
the cathedral, previously "open to the
weather." and "such glass;" says one,
Gas permitted the sun to shine through" +"
from which it may be inferred that glass
was made that was impenetrable to the
suns rays. 1t was recorded, in con-
nection with this cathedral, that "great
astonishment was excited, and supersti-
tious agency suspected, when the moon
and stars were seen through material
which excluded the inclemency of the
weather" Still, the adoption of glass
was slow; for in 1914 Robert de Linde-
say, abbot of Peterborough, employed
glass sin identifying thirty of the win
dows of his monastery, previously stuffed
with straw to keep out the wind and
rain, and for some generations later the
domestic windows of England We're not
furnished with glass, but lattice. When
glass windows were first introduced,
they were not fixtures, but were regarded
as movable chattels. In 1899 Lord Coke,
in the common pleas, adjudged that
''glass annexed to window frames by
nails, or in any other manner, could not
be removed, for without glass it was nc
perfect house."

The Strange Tree That Got Mad and Made
ltsclf Utterly DisagrceabIe.
A gentleman of this place has a tree
which is species of acacia 1t was
grown from o seed brought from Aus
tralia. The tree is now 4 sapling some
eight feet in height, and it is in full
foliage and growing rapidly. It is leg
luminous and very distinctly shows the
characteristics of the mimosa, or sensi-
tive plant, Regularly every evening,
about the time the "chickens 90 to
roost," the tree goes to roost. The leaves
fold together, and the ends of the ten
der twigs coil themselves up like the
toll of well-conditioned pig. After
one Of the twigs has been stroked or
handled the leaves move uneasily and
are in n sort of mild commotion for a
minute or more. All this was known
about the tree, but it was only yesterday
that it was discovered that the tree has
in it much more of life and feeling that
it had ever before been credited with
The tree being in quite small pot, one
which it was fast outgrowing, it was
thought best to give it one of much
larger size. Yesterday afternoon the
tree was transferred to it's new quarters.
1t resented the operation of its removal
to the best Of its ability. Arriving at
his residence about the time the tree
had been transplanted, the gentleman
found the house in q grand commotiou.
On asking what was up, he was told that
they had transplanted the tree accord
ing to orders and the operation had
"made it very mad" Hardly had it
been placed in its new quarters before
the leaves began to stand up in all
directions like the hair on the tail of
an angry cat, and soon the whole plant
was in culver. This could have been
endured, but at the same time it gave
out an odor most pungent and slcken-
ing-just such smell as is given off by
rattlesnakes and many other kinds of
snakes in summer when teased. This
odor so filled the house and was so sick
ing that it was found necessary to open
the doors and windows. 1t was fully an
hour before the plant Gained down and
folded its leaves in peace. 1t would
probably not have given up the fight
even then had it not been that its time
for going to roost had arrived. It is
probably needless to add that the whole
household now stand in not little awe
of the plant as being thing more ami
