The Aquilegih.

Almost every one who has lived
the country and gone hunting wi
flowers must know our native AquilegJ
CdnddenSiS, but quite likely undo
another name-that of Wild Hone
suckle. 1t is given this name becaus
the spurs of the peculiarly shaped fowd|
contain drop of sweetness, like tina
found in clover. Our native species-|
or rather the one most frequently md
with-is yellow and red. For lon|
time it was neglected, like many othe|
meritorious native plants. When
was taken in hand it showed willing
ness to change its colors, and careful
crossings of different varieties and spe
cies have given us some very fine ney
ones. We have them in white, scarlet
rich olive, violet and rose, single AM
double, and many varieties combin
these colors very showily. The foliag
of the Aquilegia is very pretty, beinI
borne in dense masses, mostly near tn
ground, from among which the flower
stalks are thrown up. 1t is a YER
hardy herbaceous plant, most profus
bloomer, and is in bloom for lon,
time. Most varieties grow to an aver
age height of about three feet. 1t is
fine plant to use in the BACKGROUND
among borders of other herbaceou
plants. 1t can be grown very easil
from seed, which is freely Produced

it needs good land and liberal manur-

A NOTED author wrote, a few years
ago, to hundred of the most promi-
nent men of our land for the purpose
of learning where they were born, and
under what conditions they were reared.
He learned that eighty were born and
brought up in the country, most of
them in impecunious circumstances
but nearly all of them traced their sue
cess to strong-minded, self-denying
mothers, though another great element
of success was their physical health
the result of abstemious living and out.

The Mcclellan Apple.

Mr.. J. j. Towle of South Carthage,
Oxford county, Me-, an experienced
orchardist, writing in the Home Farm,
says of this apple:
/ have over seventy different kinds
of apples, but the Mcclellan stands at
the head, as far as beauty and profit
are concerned The trees are very
hardy, good growers; form very hand
some top, bear abundant crops of
smooth, sizeable, handsome apples, free
from black blotches and other defects
that damage the apple crop. l have an
orchard set nine years ago last fall in
which there are forty-fve McLellans.
Last fall gathered from those trees
seventy barrels of nice apples. The
orchard was set on new ground, which
is a rocky side-hill, cants to the south
east, and has been pastured with sheep
ever since they were set. | do not
know their origin. have had them on
exhibition at the fairs for several wears.
They always attract considerable atten-
ton, and / have never seen them eX-
hibited by any one else.
The Mcclellan apple was highly rec
commended to us, some eighteen years
ago, by DR.. e. c.. Worcester of Thet-
ford, Vt. The tree is good grower
and pretty hardy, yet not sufficiently SC
for our exposed locality. Wherever the
Westfield Seek-no-F Further will succeed
the Mcclellan may be planted. The
origin of this variety was in Woodstock
Conn. The tree is a fine, upright
grower, and makes an excellent ant

are of dull, reddish-brown color, and

The first strike among our working
people, l think, was Of Dover, N. III.
In 1897 or 1898. The Cocheco works
were established In 1920, and the ope-
ratives were almost entirely American
girls, who deemed that weaving and
spinning was better than farming, and
became factory girls" on the erection
Of the works at Dover Falls. A small
factory up the river was No. 1, and the
works at the falls were Nos. Q, 8 and
4, as believe they are at the present
time.
Everything went on spinningly and
smoothly until the year of which l
write. There were exactions on the
part of the corporation that the indie
pendent spirit Of the fair spinners and
weavers could not brook A rule was
made that the great gates should be
shut at bell-ringing, and those who
were late should go through the count
ing-room passageway TO be marked for
reduction Of pay, largely dispropor-
toned to the delinquency. This gave
great offense, other measures awakened
opposition, and on fine morning the
mills were idle. Every operative was
out, leaving the overseers to run them
alone.
They met at some convenient square,
and, forming procession, with a
band, and bearing the American flag,
they paraded the town, under leader
whom knew we'll year later, and a
stalwart, manly guard of one for their
protection. The corporation came
down at once, the offensive rules were
Withdrawn for the time, and every
thing went on tremendously. But
there arose, again, threats of war be.
tween james 4. Curtis, a new agent,
and Mill No. 2. He was not fortu-
nate selection for the Office, as he had
been sea captain, and endeavOred TO
introduce ships discipline among his
crew of girls. 1t would not work, and
n general irritation prevailed.
The climax was reached when he
ordered the windows of No. 2 to be
nailed down. This was done over
night and in the morning, when they
found out what had been done, and
one of the loom girls had tainted, their
anger knew no bounds. A strike in
that mill was the consequence. / saw
the excited crowd from an upper win
dow opposite, and such chatter of
tongues has not been heard since Babel.
Agent Curtis was sent for and went
among them, angry at first, but the
bird would fight and he came down to
coaxing, begging them 10 return,
arguing the necessity for mailing down,
which excited them the more, until he
compromised the matter by allowing
the windows to be opened part way.
Other inducements were given, and
they returned to their work, but dur
ing the alteration with him they had
spotted his black coat with cotton locks
until he looked like a new description
OF leopard.
