THE NEW ENGLAND MAGAZINE.

The New ENGLAND MAGAZINE for
September shows pleasing variety in
its contents, but ii deyotes itself very
especially to two interests, New Eng
land farming and the present intellec-
tual life of Canada. The two leading
Canadian poets, Lampman and Camp,
bell, contribute poems to the number;
and Mr.. Harte's article is well su ople-
mented by one by DR.. George Stewart
of Quebec, on Literature in French
Canada Mr. Jacksons article on
Moses in Massachusetts is a most
ingenious and striking article. and will
attract much attention. 1t is written
after the manner of Bellamy's Looking
Backward, being a picture of Massa-
chuesetts IN 1920, after the Mosaic land
system-in which the author evidently
heartily believes as the true solution Of
all our troubles in that line-has sup
possibly been in operation in the state
for twenty years. An article on Mark
Hopkins. bY Rev. Frank Fl Kasson, is
accompanied by a fine portrait of the
great teacher; and q beautiful portrait
81 Joshua l.. Chamberlain accompanies
an address by him on the Army Of the
Potomac, which well supplements the
NEW ENGLAND Grand Army number
Of last month. Edward Everett Hale
writes delightfully."- on the subject Of
Cotton from First to Last" covering
the ground al the way from Herodotus
TO Samuel Slater, his article being a sort
Of prelude to the Cotton Centennial, to
which the magazine next month is TO be
largely devoted.

GET OUT OF TIE RuIs.

Don't look for any new ideas, for YOU
won't find them. These things have, in
all probability, been said and better said
before; but it has been said that man
never sees an advertisement until he has
read it hundred times. and the same Is
true of many good ideas. What lover of
flowers has not been disguised in winter,
going into house after house and seeing
few or many long-legged geraniums
with single sickly cluster of bloom, or
none at all, and the same repeated at
every place? "Simply this and nothing
MORE" Now, | am as fond of geraniums
as any one, and they bloom as freely for
me. so it is not sour grapes.
But why not, just to break the monot-
ony, have something for this winter that
will thrive and bloom? Every successful
grower of geraniums knows that to
bloom they require fair degree of
moisture and plenty of strong sunlight
But strong sunlight is apt to be scarce
article at that season, and one overwhich
we have not the slightest control. But
there are plenty of plants that rather
shun strong sunlight, and bloom better
partially shaded.
The pansy is such a plant. 1t needs
no praise at this day, and is a universal
favorite for spring, summer and autumn;
but where is the person who can look
me squarely in the eyes and say that
he has made it a winter pet? Yet
why notP Surely the plant itself is as
graceful and pretty as the geranium. and
the flowers are fully as desirable. Now
| is the time, August LIST, to begin. with US,
/ further south a month later would do. If
you have plants just starting into bloom,
| they are what you want. Keep all buds
pinched off, also any long branches.
Take them up carefullyand put into pots,
or into box or pan, remembering that
pansy roots run deep. This will give you
strong, vigorous plants that will bloom
all winter freely. If you have no plants
suitable, seed sown now and kept moist
and cool will start finely, and if urged a
little with manure water will make
blooming plants by frost, and surely such
plants are worth the little trouble they
cost.
The well known sweet alyssum. is
another little favorite. so fragrant, Just
