however, bear abundantly, and may be
grown for propagation in partially shaded
positions, such as the north or west sides
of the fences.
twenty-five varieties have been grown
for three years in the horticultural grounds
of this station, upon high sandy soil,
with results showing that the red vari-
cites and some of the hybrids propagate
as readily as briers, bear as abundantly
and endure our long summers equally as
well. This is especially true of the Tur-
ner and Cuthbert, two exceedingly
hardy and productive varieties, produc-
ing berries of exquisite beauty and deh.

variety of superior quality, has given
entire satisfaction. Schaffer's Colossal, o

PLANTS THAT BRIGHTEN THE HOME

The simplicity and beauty of the plants
that brighten the home should recon-
mend them to all. When one sees large
ball of green fecked with blue stars in
window it is hard to believe that tho
delightful effect is gained by sprinkling
faxseed in sponge. This is a very
cheap and easy way of beautifying a
window. The sponge should be sus-
pended, moistened just enough so that
the water will not drip from it and the
faxseed should then be thrown over it.
If the sponge is kept damp in few weeks
a very pretty floral ball will be the re-
suit. The flower, formed like star with
q white heart, grows on stalk. The
leaves are fern-like in shape and the ball
makes charming window ornament.
A very pretty flower pot is a pine cone.
Canary seed sprinkled in one will take
root and give bushy green foliage,
thickly dotted with beautiful flowers like
the heliotrope. By suspending the cones
between vases containing trailing plants
and training the vine along the strings a
very charming effect is gained.
For pots containing flowers of bright
foliage, those made of porous clay are
the best. The pot should be placed in
water and then rolled in seed, which
takes root and grows just enough to en-
hance the beauty of the flower.
Sweet potatoes, with the ends cut of
and placed in water, send forth beau
tiful vine, on which grows a pretty blue
flower. The vine grows rapidly, and
may be trained around the vessel in which
the potato is placed, almost concealing
the source of life.
Carrots and turnips grow in water, and
with little care make very pretty window
plant. The water should be changed as
often as sediment makes its appearance in
it. There are hundred ways of orna-
menting the house cheaply and easily
with plant life. The plants referred to
are of easy and rapid growth, and need
but little care, giving the most beautiful
results for minimum of attention. In
planting vines for window decoration
the richest garden soil should be used, and
all dead or decaying sprouts should be re-
moved at once.-San Francisco Ch?Qnacle.

A Horse Resurrection.

A case of horse resurrection has come
to light in Newburg, N. Y. A horse
died, apparently, on Thursday, and
was buried beneath q pile of rubbish
until an ''equine undertaken" could be
summoned to remove it to the bone fac
tory. On the following Saturday removal
was attempted. A rope was fastened to
the animal, and on the first pull it arose
to its feet and frished its tail. Now the
equine is seen drawing garbage on the
streets.-Chicago Herald.

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
TO KEEP CARPETS.

Tea-leaves are good to scatter over car
pets before sweeping, not only to freshen
the colors, but also to prevent the dust
arising, but common table-salt is even
better. 1t is heavy and so more readily
answers the last mentioned purpose, and
it does wonderfully brighten the colors.
This is not so expensive either, as the
same salt can be made to do duty more
than once, if, after each time of service,
it be slowly passed from one hand to the
other, gently blowing the dust out.

An Extraordinary Reminiscence.

That was q most extraordinary REM
iniscence which the speaker Judge O..
W. Holmes) cited from letter written
by the late Sidney Bartlett: "Deacon
spooner died in 1918, age ninety-four.
I saw him and talked with him.
He talked with Elder Faunce, who talked
with the Pilgrims, and it is said to have
pointed out the rock" Only three lives,
one of them but just passed away, be-

SHEEP LOSING THEIR WOOL.

Oldest sheep are apt to lose wool from
their bellies if grain fed, especially in
feeding with corn. The cause is indiges-
ton from over feeding. This produces
fever, and the extreme heat under the
sheep when lying down destroys the fibre
of the wool, and loosens it from the skin.
1t is very hard to feed old sheep corn,
without overfeeding. In extreme cases
clumps of wool are loosened from all
parts of the body. Such sheep are utter
ly worthless for keeping. After lingering
through the winter their owner has their
hides and some very poor wool in the
spring. for their keep. The experienced
sheep breeder will not keep any sheep
longer than six years, and he will not
feed any sheep with corn except those he
is fattening, and even then with great
caution.--Boston Cultirat0".

Suckers from plum and apricot trees
are frequently produced by digging the
borders. Wherever the spade strikes
against root q wound is made, and then
suckers form, and the habit, once ac-
quired, it is very difficult to stop. The

their source, and cut them clean away

of six men. In that supreme moment
also noticed that their uniform was
bright with steel accoutrements. Their
helmets were of steel, and their car
bines, as they raised them and pointed
them at me, glittered with the same
FURNISHED metal. There was an in
stant's hush while the men took aim:
then I saw the officer raise his barred
saber as the signal to fire. 1t flashed
in the air. With suddenness impos.
sible to convey, the whole quadrangle
blazed with an awful light. It crossed
my brain with instantaneous convic-

physical effect of being shot, and
that the bullets had pierced my

frightful sense OF all-pervading fame.

shoot me stood exactly underit. Spark

moment, raised his shining, naked

heaven opened, and the lightning fell,

Preferred to Be a Slave.

An old negro, Madison Pitts, has jus<
died at Griffin, Ga, whose history fur
nished a curious contradiction to the
almost universally deep-seated longing
for freedom implanted in the human
breast. He belonged in ante-war times
to a Captain Hill, who took him on a
journey to Baltimore on one occasion
as his body servant. The laws of
Maryland strictly prohibited the Offer
ing of slave for sale, the penalty
being the manumission of the chattel.
Captain Hill valued Madison very
highly, and had No desire to dispose of
him, and when some one asked him
what he would take for Madison, he
carelessly replied: 30, / suppose
$6,OOO,' never thinking of the law. The
incident was reported to the authori-
ties, and the owner cited before the
courts. He told his servant the cir
cumstances and informed him of his
opportunity for freedom. The trial
came off, and when Madison was placed
on the stand he declared he would
rather return home with his master
than 10 go free. He remained a slave
in Captain Hills house till 1865, and
was subsequently, till his death, re-
spected and prosperous member of the
community. Journal.
