The Agreement Signed and the Commits

The agreement between England, Ger
many. and the United States on Samoan
affairs has been signed at Berlin. 1t will
not be made public until confirmed by the
Senate. While it is called an agreement
by tbs officers OF the State Department. Mr..
Walker Blaine says that it will undoubtedly
require ratification by the Senate. as it is a
matter affecting tho foreign policy OF the
United States. The agreement was cordially
approved by all the members OF the confer
ence and by their respective governments.
The best OF feeling prevailed at the tcrmina-
ton o. the labors OF the commissioners.
The agreement guarantees an autonomous
administration ofthe islands under the joint
control OF Germany and America. England
acting as arbitrator in the event Of differ
ences arising. The Samoans are to elect
their own King and Viceroy, and to be rep
resented in a Senate composed Of the prin-
cipal chiefs and chambers elected by the
people. Samoa is to have the right Of levy
ing duties of every kind. The treaty also
stipulates that the Germans shall receive
money indemnity for their losses. A
special court will be appointed to deal with
the land question. As the Americans made

HOW Roses Bloom.

Hybrid perpetual roses bloom most
ly upon shoots that grow from the old
wood; that is, canes Of one or more
years growth. The best blooms are
found upon the canes which start from
near the root the previous season; ;
therefore, 1t is best every spring to cut
ont all canes which have doomed one
season. As you value good roses and
a quantity Of them do not fail to do
this. To increase the quantity and
richness of bloom with hybrid perpetu-
ais practice what is called "pegging
down." This is to send all the canes
that have been left after pruning near
ly to the ground. The outermost ones
may be within six inches of the surface
and the others q little higher This
horizontal position of the canes some
what retards the flow of the sap as it
returns to the roots, and more of it is
used in forming buds and flowers. III
you prefer to grow your roses upright
do not fail to cut back the canes about
one-half If you wish to have seed for
new varieties, it is we'll not to have the
soil too rich, else, according to my ex-
perience, you will get fewer seeds and
not the best roses. All the roses should
be where they will have plenty of sun
light, and yet be protected from high
winds.

Typographical errors. like the poor,
we have always with us. Until recently
there WAS said To be no typographical
errors in the Bible. But lately several
have been pointed out. A company Of
scientists once tried to issue a book
without a single typographical error.
Proof was read and re-read scores Of
times, but when the book was pub
lished typographical error was dis
covered on the title page. Below we
give few of these amusing errors:

Our Echo.

You remember the story of the boy
who went out into the woods and cried
out, Hello" and echo said 'rHelloT
The boy got mad, thought he was being
made fgn of and he said, Il hate you'll"
His anger increased, and he cried out,
"T'll hit your Again Echo says, III
hit youw The little fellow, indignant,
went into the house and told his moth
er that boy out in the woods was
going to hit him, and that he hated
him, and so on. The mother saw the
secret, and said to him, "Now, my son,
if you will go out into the woods and
cry out, Il love you, you will find that
the boy says he loves you" So out he
went, and said 81 love you, !" and Echo
Immediately replied, Il love you !"
When we go out into church, into the
world, with this life of love in us, pro-
ducing harmony of all our faculties,
we can project into our environments
or circumstances this life of love, and
by it make men love us, and beget in
the lives of men this life of love.

improvement on the whole. The glass trade Is
fair. For anthracite coal there is a better de-
mand with reduced output. The sales Of south

rather lower. Breadstuffs are stronger. Less
favorable crop reports are the pretext; prob
ably excessive speculative sales are the cause.
Pork products and hogs are lower, but oil has
advanced. The rise in raw sugar continues and
