why sensible Women Should Prefer .ren-
Gus!. -
The attitude which women of dilute
refinement assume for nmselves As
grotes4ue in its arrogance. 1t is the
fashion for a weak lot of novelists and
poets to write of women as divinities,
proof against all impcrfections, before
whom poor ordinary mortals must veil
their eyes and exist PROSTATE. A man
talks that way when he is in love, and
feels so, perhaps, the first time. He
tells a woman she IS his world and his
queen, and, by George! if she don't
suck it all in as gospel truth and feel
sure the wings have lust dropped off
her shoulder-b!ades. Seems to me II

THE 81
A Wild Plant Which Lately Has Be-
Given u Place in the Garden,

A Wild Plant Which Lately Has Been
Given IL Place in the Garden.
Among the u%ncultivated plants may
be named the checkerberry. Why has
not this little evergreen plant, with
its delicate white blossoms of mid-sum-
mer, and its attractive crimson fruit of
mid-winter. been given a place in tho
ornamental garden? 1t is because of
the belief that it will not take kindly
to civilizations; or it is because its
beauty and usefulness is unknown. Ii
the former. we are glad to be able to
say something from practical experl-
ence.
This plant. when properly treated.
grows well in the garden, but it
will not do TO set it on culti-
waited land and 1urround it with hot
pulverized earth; under such treatment
it burns aud becomes an unsightly
plant. To have the ch~eckerberry do
well. it must be given similar treat
ment that it has in Its natural home.
Those who are familiar with this plant
well know that, when found growing on
land hat has had q crop of white pine
timber cut from it within a few years.
the plants are strong, and at the proper
| season will be found we'll loaded
with fruit of very large size. This
teaches that it is q plant that does not
do besti in the shade, although frequently
found growing there, with no fruit on
it. but that it is O. plant that needs sun
shine to bring it to full perfection; it
also teaches that it needs to have the
soil covered with decayed leaves. to
make it loose and light for the roots to
run III.
After having repeatedly tried and
failed to make this plant grow and
fruit in the shade, an effort was made
to initiate nature as near as possible.
A small plot of land was prepared by
first covering it with a rich vegetable
mould made of decaycd leaves, then.
early in the spring. good healthy looking
vines were taken from among the pine
stumps. and at once set in rows about
eighteen inches apart; when set, the
ground was covered all over with pine
leaves, or needles, to the depth of one
or two inches. The plants did not

bio ssoms, which produced a good crop

keep the grass out. The vines lived
we'll through the winter. and produced
a second crop of fruit. 1t was then
thought best to try to grow them by
cultivation without covering the ground
with leaves. but the third year under
this treatment was a failure, the leaves

NAPOLEON III. IN AMERICA.
His Opinion of American Peoplo-Tlle
Masters of tile Universe.

Napoleon III. admired American
gen1as because it is creative genius; he
grew indignant over French character
that humiliates itself more and more in
order that a man may become a State
official, whether q minister Of a stone
breaker on the highways. Turning
toward King jerome and Prince Murat
he said II am sure you are not come
to Saint Cloud this morning solely To
drink Suresness wine; you must Lave,
as usual. your pockets filled with re-
qucsts-one for a senauorship. What
a pity? Why do nov those people make
a fortune-that is true liberty-instead
of striving to enter the service of the
State and spend their lives in slavery.
Americans grated upon Englishmen
are real frcemen; they are the
masters OF the universe because
they are their own masters. For
example, when I was in New York [
dined at a table d'hote beside a poor
devil who had no shirt to his back. but
who fascinated me by the daring of his
schemes. it was extravaganza, but sub
lime. The heightened, penniless fell
low, who, in France would have died q
tax collector or a %quill-driver in an al
ministratiye department, possessed, one
wear later, twelve millions in cash.
| And he hadnotstolen the money, either.
One day he was an hour late at the
table d'hote, so he said to Us by way of
| apology: You see. 1 have made a
| fortune AS we looked at him rather
| obviously, for he had not yet bought q
shirt, he spread upon the table a roll OF
| paper upon which he had drawn the
| plan of a city OF twenty thousand H.
! habitants. with churches, fountains,
square and monuments stock-eX-
| change not being forgotten, of course.
All this was fairy-like, but reasoned out
to perfection; it was a real city OF the
future. such us we shall have some
| dav in France. My man had
not confined himself to designing
the town, but had purchased the
ground upon which to build. and made
! his contracts with masons and garden
| ers. They were about to lay the tounua-
lions and make the streets. :And your
| CITY will rise like Thcbes, when Am
| Dhion PLAYED upon the lyre?'. Yes, and

on the same day, and completed at the
same tlme.'" And. after a pause
what i tell you now" continued Ma
poleon ILL.,. '.sounds like q tale, but II
fellow-diner was in earnest, he had Sc
cured the refusal of the site, and shown
the contracts to bankers. who perceived
that there was a fortune in the affair
for themselves as we'll as for him; all
of them took the bit in their teeth. and
thus the country reckoned an addition

self that on my return to Paris-a tiing
