Plant Lice.

Although there are several species OF
these troublesome little pests, known by
the technical term of aphides, their de-
struction is similar. In light stony soils
they will fasten on the roots of apple
trees, and in short time cause a mass
of ungainly excrescences and knobs, so
as to injure the vitality of the tree and
eventually cause its death. Wood ashes
scattered over the surface of the soil
close to its trunk will often effect cure;
but in bad cases the tree should be dug,
then wash the roots clean. dust with
wood ashes, or air-slacked lime, and re-
plant.
The annoying green fly is very readily
eradicated, but if not taken in time will
permanently injurc many plants. Under
glass, the smoke from tobacco stems
quickly destroys them, and on roses in
the open air, little pyreturum powder
or white hellebOre is sure death to the
unwelcome visitors. The black species
that disfigure the tips of chrysanthemums
in Summer are more difficult to get rid
of, but frequent busting with snuff is a
partial cure at least, and if persisted in
will finally eradicate them. Occasion
ally German asters will assume stunt
ed, sickly appearance, and if taken out
of the ground the roots will be found
covered with little aphides. They should
be washed in tepid water and sprinkled
with wood ashes. Indeed, wood ashes
on the soil, or a little weak lime water,
will often work cure without digging
up the plants. Josiah HOPES, in N. Y.

Modern Algiers.

A traveller arriving at Algiers by
rail naturally feels q sense Of disap-
pointment, as if he were come upon a
modern French town with its streets,
large warehouses. colonades, and gay
shop windows. This is modern Algiers
and it lies along the borders of the sea
for distance of two miles or more, and
on the rising hillsides, three or four
blocks upwards. High above the
French building. and directly back of
them, rises what is left of the old Arab
city. The houses, white as an advanced
knowledge of the art of whitewashing
can make them, are irregularly piled
together, like a huge mass Of rock
candy. A flight of five hundred steps
leads to the Kasha, or port, that surmoun 8
the height ; and many other streets and
lanes, dark. narrow and circutious,
lead to the same point. giving the old
town a triangular shape. Scattered
over the hills on either side of the city
one sees large number of villas those
belonging to the French and rich
Hebrews are more to the left of the
town, while to the right live a large
number of English, who occupy a tract
of land extending three or four miles
beyond Algiers. The impression of the
place is much grander when one ap.
proaches it by water; its fine harbor, with
the forts, lighthouse. and arsenal. the
rising mass of buildings of dazzling
whiteness, terminating in the grand o0
fort on the summit, and the Moorish
villas which surround the bay, half
concealed by the luxuriance of the fol-
iage, make Algiers one of the most
beautiful of cities. The climate is alb
solute perfection. Neither hot nor cold,
but allowing one always to sit with open
windows. The seasons are not marked
by the budding of trees and the putting
forth of flowers, for this is going on
throughout the year.-Cor. Hartford

A Great Day in History.

Even before the death of Lord Bea-
consfeld the 10Th of April was day to
be remembered in the history both OF
England and of the world. The origin
of the name of Protestant is due as
every one knows, to the famous protest
of that day, in 1929, against a decree of
the diet of Spires. Another series of
events, of a widely different but scarcely
less important character, were to date
from the 10th Of April, 1875, when the
first shot was fired in the American
Revolutionary war at Lexington. The
day has also been illustrated by the
death of several notable personages-
e. g., of Byron (of whom Disraeli's
lord Cadurcis'' is perhaps the most
appreciative sketch ever cOnceived) in
1924; of Christian of Sweden, 1889; of
Melanchthon, 1860. Nor should Thomas
Sackville, Earl of Dorset and Lord
Treasurer of England, be forgotten.
Like Lord Beaconsfield, he first dis
tinguished himself (and in youth) as an
author; was elected member of the
House of Commons; was raised to the
peerage; became the first Minister of
great Queen, and died on the 10Th of
April Q6OS): The prayer book further
reminds us that the day is sacred to the
memory of St. Alphege. Archbishop of
Canterbury, murdered by the Danes in
1912, after the capture of the metro
politan city. 1t was on the Saturday
after Easter, the Central calendar
having fallen on the same day in 1912
as in 1884. The Danes, "who had
dined," pelted the hapless prelate with
bones. "At last one Thrum, whom
Elfheah had converted, and whom he
had confirmed the day before. out of
feeling of pity clave his head with his
battle AK" Elfheah, it need hardly be
observed, is Prof. Freeman's way of
spelling the saints name.-St. James
Gazette.

WHAT HE SAID.

Oh, yes, TIL tell you the story
The very words that were said.
You see the supper was cooking,
AND was slicing some bread
And Richard came into the pantry:
his race was exceedingly red.
He opened his half-shut fingers,
And gave me the glimpse OF q ring:
And then-oh, yes, l remember,
The kettle began to sing.
And Fanny came in with her baby
Inc cunntngeet bit of thing;
And the biscuits were out in minute
well, what came nextY Let me See
Oh! Fanny was there with the baby
And we all sat down to tea,
And grandma looked over her glasses
SO queer at Richard and me.
But It wasn't till after milking
That he said what he had to saw.
How was It? Oh, Fanny had taken
Inc baby and gone away
Inc funniest rogue of a fellow
ne mad new tooth that day.
We were standing under the plum-trce,
ana Richard said something low,
But was tired and hustered,
And trembled, almost know.
. For old Red lie the hardest of mflkers
And Brindle's SO horribly slow.
And that-let me see-where was I?
On, the stars grew thick overhead.
ana we TWO stood under the plum-trec
iii the chickens flew ND to bed
wen, ne loved me, and we're to be married.
And that is-about what he said.

She could not speak-she would have
burst out crying if she had attempted
to do so; but somewhere from the folds
of her jacket there came a little hand,
and it was held out in half penitent
fashion towards him. He took it in his,
and the compact was sealed.
"You were awfully severe on me last
night, Lily" he said later in the day

it was no downfall at all; and among
such most emphatically was Henniker
himself.-Fdnaily Herald.
