Rlel's Flag,

Louis Riel's war flag was 4 common
table-Gloth, six feet by four feet, with
frinred, or rather frayed, edges, On
the flag is a steel engraving Of Notre
Dame DIES Lourdes, and beneath II Is
written the pedigree of Louis Riel' then
a prayer to the Virgin Mary signed by,
Louis David Riel. On the reverse oil
the picture is a %prayerful proclamation
The flag is in possession oil captain
Howard. who will probably take 1t with
him TO his home in Connecticut. The
FLAG. which has Just been presented to
the Sixty-ifth Regiment, Of Montreal
hears 4 sacredhcar with the inscription,
Thy Kingdom come" Curious enough,
the badges taken from the h%alt-breed
rebels at Baroche-onc OF which was
brought to Toronto by a g%renadier'
taken from Riel himsclf-also bears a
sacred heart and the same motto.

SEED POTATOES.


Their Selection a Matter OF Great I'M
portancc,
Selecting seed potatoes is an import
amt matter, writes an English gardener.
10 obtain real progress the seeds should
be taken from a healthy vigorous stock.
In raising a crop from any other kinds
of seed-radiSh seed, for instance, acer-
tain portion every year, perhaps an
acre, less or more, is planted with
roots selected carefully for their super
ior quality and shape. The produce of
this acre Is carefully saved to SOW
again. Now, in digging potatoes it
would not be a difficult matter. when
the digger found a better root than or
binary and tubers possessing better
qualities than the average. to place
them on one side for seed purposes. |
have proved to my W satisfaction at
least that if seeds are saved from infer
Tor sorts the crop will not be equal to
the average, but will, on the contrary,
show . marked deterioration. What |
mean is This: In every plot of pota-
toes, whether the plot be large or small,
in field or garden, there will be a GER
tain number of roots above the average
in beauty of tubcr and productiveness.
On the other hand, there will be a GER
tain number of roots very far below the
average. both in point Of numbers and
also in size, and it will be easily under
stood that if we select seeds for plant
ing from the former Of these the crop
must be better than if we take them
| from the latter, or do as most people
do, select them Unfortunately from
the bulk. The crown eyes are
the most prolific. For a number
OF years carried out experiments with
single eyes. and the center crown eyes
always produced the best crops. The
crop, too, is more even ii in planting
whole potatoes they are confined to one
stem, This | have done sometimes by
cutting out surplus eyes; at Others, by
thinning out the baulms after they
came up. Weakly looking stems are
easily pulled up without disturbing
the plant. This plan involves less
labor than cutting out the eyes. and in
damp seasons, when disease is rife, it
has less effect upon the robust tops
grown thinly than were all the eyes
allowed to grow as they please. In
autumn, seed potatoes should be spread
out thinly in a frost-proof building

WORkMEN.
Their Primitive Working Tools and system
of Work.

What implements they used in ancient
times we know not; but to-day the Per-
sian artisan has neither rule, compass
nor spirit-lcvcl. He is commonly igno-
rant of the fact that the diameter is the
third of the circumference; his glmlcts
and augurs are prods turned by a bow
string; he has no Ratchet, but only an
adzc, and no carpenter bench. If he
desires to plane a board, he puts it on
the ground; and if he would saw a
block of wood he SQuats on the ground
himself and holds it between his toes,
drawing the saw towards himself.
Wood is scarce, and with such tools hard
to work. If pillars are to be con-
structcd, the trunks Of poplars are
vaiscd and simply stripped OF their
branches and bark. They may be
crooked, but that matters not; the mas
ter workman tells his subordinate to
shape the timber into an elegant pillar
with gatcb. Depending only on his eye
and the skill of his hand, this simple
artisan applies TO the plaster round the
trunk in the form OF a ilutcd pillar and
crowns il with a graceful capital and
cornicc, showing a lively inventive
fancy. II Judged by the strict applica-
ton of rule and compass, these dccora-
tons may sometimes dcyiatc slightly
from a straight line, but of the ar
tistic beauty Of the conception there
can be no question. Wall and ceilings

Fruit.

The Laacct regards the increased use
of fruit in ordinary diet as n OF the
most salutary tendencies OF domestic
management in our day, The starchy
and saacharinc componcnts OF fruit, while
they are not equal in accumulated force
to the more solid ingredients OF meat
and fat, are similarly useful in their own
decree and have the advantage OF
greater digestibility. Other advantages
are local stimulation, thus relieving
skin and kidneys by transferring part OF
their eNcretory work to the bowels.

P. NJ. Haverty returned from Cali
fornia in 1852 and began business at 10
Fulton street, corner of Dutch street.
He was the first to make the importa-
tion of Irish books a speciality, and
while on the corner he published in
good style MANY very valuable national
works-Davis' Poems, Life of Lord Ed
ward Fitzgerald, Life of Emmett, Man
gan's Poems, O'Mahony's translation
of Keating's History of Ireland, and
the finest collection of Irish music ever
issued. At the opening of the civil
war he left his business and went to
the front with Meagher's Irish Brigade,
James B. Kerkis, brother and successor
of Ed. Denigan, going also with Cor
coran's Irish Legion.
In 1866 he resumed business with a
large Importation of old Catholic

Davitt Branch,

Another large large audience assem-
bled at the Davitt branch meeting
which was held in Window Hall Sum
daY evening last. It is pleasing to note
the interest that is being manifested in
these meetings at time when Ireland
is in the throes of a great struggle for
political ascendancy. j. J.McHale 0c-
cupied the chair. j. j.. Linehan re-
signed his position as financial secre-
tary, and j. J. Kinnane was elected to
fill the vacancy. Much regret was felt
at the resignation of Mr.. Linehan, as
he has performed the duties pertaining
to his Office in creditable manner, but
being about to leave the city it was i'm
possible for him to retain it any longer.
A committee of three were appointed
by the president to take into considera-
tion the advisabillty of giving ball or
literary entertainment and report at
future meeting. The programme was
of the usual excellent order. The first
was piano selection by Miss Mary
Garrity, and was executed in manner
that commanded the admiration of the
audience. A vocal duet by Messrs.
Millard and Lester was very pleasingly
rendered. Miss May Sweeney gave evil
dence of considerable ability as an elo-
cutionist in her recitation entitled
1.-The Legend of the Organ Builder"
She was warmly applauded. William
O'Brien gave the audience few har-
monica selections that were highly ap-
preciated. The duet, "Larboard
Watch" by Messrs. McHugh and Bon
ahoe, with piano accompaniment by
Miss Maggie Kennedy, is deserving of
special mention. The recitation,
.sShamus O'Brien," lost none of it's
pathos or sweetness in the hands of
Miss Maggie Hayes. John Swift
brought the entertainment to close
by singing a couple of frst-class songs.
The programme for next Sunday even
ing is now in the course of preparation,
and it will equal, it not excel, all pre-
vious efforts. The meeting adjourned
after vote of thanks was rendered to
those taking part in the exercises.
