plant will make scarcely any growth. and
the old leaves will die away.
About the middle or last of September
the plant should be repotted and started
into active growth All the old soil should,
be carefully removed SO as not to injure
the fleshy roots. These may be trimmed
to shorten them to a convenient length
for potting, all useless appearing ones
cut entirely away and broken ones cut off
between the break and bulb The soil
should be rich and friabe. Black muck
and old, thoroughly decayed COW manure
make, probably, the best soil for this
plant. The size of pot to be used should
be taken into consideration. If a very
large pot is used, the plant produces a
deal of foliage and correspondingly
smaller number OF flowers. If fewer leaves
and the greatest possible number OF flow
ers are desired, use a small pot, and after
the plant becomes established, apply
liquid manure freely. Some use a pot
without hole in the bottom and keep
water constantly standing on the surface
of the soil. followed this plan years ago
in my old home in Maine; but though my
calla did well | would not follow it again.
Use a pot with a good escape in the bot
tom and after the plant has become es-
tablished, water copipusly. Remember
that the Gala is a marsh plant and is
never satisfied with the amount of water
that would do for geraDium, rose or
fuchsia. In cold weather, it is best to
water it with quite hot water, and set it
in the sun, in order to warm up the soil
as much as possible. lfan excess of leaves
occurs at the expense of blooms, cut them
off freely, wi, i,holdlng water somewhat for
a week or so after.
Ii this method of treating the calIa is
followed, it should always be in bloom by
Christmas, and produce fewer leaves and
more flowers than it would if treated
otherwise. One advantage to be derived
from preserving the old roots is that, on
repoting, they Immediately begin feeding
and nourishing the plant; while if de-
stroyed, the bulb must replace them be-
fore active growth can begin The flow
ers should be removed as soon as they

Many are Pizzled to know whether to
remove the young plants which come up
around the old one. Ii but one plant is
wanted, they should certainly beremoved
at the time of repotting, as they all claim
their nourishment from the parent bulb
Ii more than one plant is wanted leave
as many as desired, and they will soon
attain blooming size. But in this case
a larger pot and more nourishment must
be supplied.

invitation to the Board and officers to

accepted.
A large number of prominent citizens
of Shrewsbury and Middlstown, appear
ed before the Board and spoke in favor
OF building an iron bridge over the
North Shrewsbury river from Oceanic
to Locust Point. Mr.. John Leonard,
of Atlantic Highlands, said that if a
bridge was constructed at the point
named, it would favorably affect the
business interests of that locality; that
it would without doubt materially de-
velop the landed interests there.
Mr.. r. 8. Snider thought that ii
Shrewsbury and Middletown were
united by the proposed bridge, the I'M
occupied lands of both townships
would be rapidly improved and built
up.
Mr.. Borden stated that the sentiment
of the people OF his township was de
cidedly in favor of having the bridge
built.
Mr.. Cooper said that for the want of
bridge at this point, citizens were
obliged to travel 81 miles to get to
Long Branch. whereas if bridge be
built. they can get there inside of 12
miles. Letters were read by the Clerk
from Messrs. Edward o. Adams, Ed
ward Kemp. W. E. Strong, Gen. Fisk
aud others, strongly advocating the
proposed improvement.
Mr.. Borden then offered the following

of reasons for believing that many have COM

strange, morbid impulse that SEXES on some

strange, wild impulse to plunge headlong. A

expecting to stay week, but left at the end

that as far back as their people had any ira
ditions there had been regularly recurring
series of tragedies at Niagara. 1t is curious
fact that in all the early history Of the white
settlement we hear nothing Of any accident
there; perhaps becausein the early settlement
OF the west accidents were too common to be
noticed. The first event that excited univer-
sal attention was the loss of the steamer
Caroline, in December, 1887. This vessel was
moored on the American side, and was sup
posed to be fitted out with arms and NUM-
tions of war to assist the insurgents in Cana

Though there is no recent case Of going
over the falls, there have been some appalling
accidents on the river below. The last WIS
the case of Carmine Mandia, an expert in
bridge building, who, while stringing wires
on the new suspension bridge, lost his footing
and fell 200 feet into the rapids. He rose
above the water, apparently unhurt, and
struck out bravely towards rope which was
lowered to him; but the swift current bore
him on too fast, and he was soon swallowed
up in the lower whirlpool. He was native
of Salerno, Italy, % years of age, and un-
married; and a sad feature of the case was
that his sister, whom he had sent for frops
Italy, arrived just after his death. He was
q frugal and very intelligent workman, and

insisted on at least one. This, of course, was
