The Ede1weiss in London.

1t may be interesting to some to hear
that the Edelweiss can be cultivated in
London. Last August friend who
lives near Belfast gave me a small plant
with one bloom, raised by himself from
seed. The directions given with it We're:
Leave it in the corner of your garden;

Unhappily, London gardens are the

there, through the dismal sunless win
dow, now buried deep in snow, now

manned, always reported dead by all
who saw it, but toward the end of March
life showed itself, and now it is large
healthy plant. with five lovely blooms,

Surely, if this fair flower from the
lovely mountain air of Switzerland can
thrive in the smoky, sooty atmosphere
of London, our climate is not so bad as

Some people never take books to the
country with them. They either feel no
need for the strength or relaxation they
might gain from reading, or they rely
upon chance for their mental pabulum.
Few are the readers who carry with
them anything but the lightest Of sum-
mer novels-books that can be thrown
away without regret when finished.
Perhaps it is too much to ask that any
one not q student should expend much
energy in hot weather upon mental i'm
something better might be read than the
merely ephemeral novelette,. How many
of the rising generation are really famil-
lar with the novels of Scott, of Dickens,
of Thackeray, of Cooper, Of George
Eliot, of Miss Mulock, or with the
charming long and short stories by our
own American authors?
There was time when the heavy
binding and high cost of standards rem
dered them undesirable books to read in
q hammock, but the recent issue of the
works of many of the best English and
American writers in paper covers does
away with this objection. Good books,
in good type, on good paper, at price
that practically puts them within the
reach of every one, are to be had on
every hand.
In purchasing an outfit for the sum-
mer vacation the hammock books should
no more be overlooked than the ham,
mock itself, but let both be of kind
that will stand wear. Trashy reading
provokes mental dyspepsia akin to the
physical malaise produced by diet of
sweetmeats unaccompanied by substan-
tails. Such course of treatment units

Claus Spreckels, the great sugar
refner, gives some important test
imony to the value of the sugar
bounty system to American sugar
growers. 1t would be impossible, as
rs Mr.. Spreckels SAYS, for American
growers to do profitable business
in the face of the competition, unre.
strained by tariff, OF foreign grow
ers, many Of whom are encouraged
by bounties from their home Cover.
ments. The bounty system, how
ever, encourages domestic produc-
ton, and will result in the growth of
an industry which will be found
profitable to farmers in many sections
of the country, whose lands are
adapted to beet-growing. The
bounties will thus be widely dis
tributed among the people, adding
to local prosperity and wealth.
Meanwhile the revenues from the
sugar duties are saved to the con-
sumers. 1t was therefore, wisdom
to remove the duties on sugar and at
the same time, substitute therefor a
system OF bouuties to sugar.growers.
There is one effect of the bounty
system in Germany and France
which will not be duplicated in the
United States. The American con.
sumner, says Mr.. Speckles, pays II
cents less for his sugar than the
German or French consumer. That
is, the foreign sugar growers who
are encouraged by bounties sell their
sugar abroad cheaper than at home,
The effect of the bounties, in con.
junction with high tariff upon i'm
ports of sugar, has been, in fact, TO
increase the price of sugar to native
consumers. That will not occur in
the United States, because sugar is
on the free list. and our American
growers and refiners must compete
with the entire sugar producing
world for the markets here. The
American consumer will get the
benefit of the very lowest prices
under free competition. Detroit

The first batch of twenty policemen

excellent music which was greatly
appreciated judging from the encores
received. Messrs. Edward Brazeau

progress that the Juvenile Band has

LEAH THE FORSAKEN.

Next Tuesday evening play entitled
"Leah The Forsaken" will be rendered
at the Opera Rink, in this city, by home
talent. This play has been in prepar-
alton for nearly three months and is
now about ready for presentation. The
players that took the more prominent
parts in "The Confederate Spy,
presented here last April, and so
favorably remembered by our people,
have the principal parts in this play
which alone IS an assurance of excel
lence. The new play is fully equal in
tone of character and strength Of parts
to 'fThe Confederate Spy and much
superior to that in novelty of costume,
as the new play is laid in Austria in the.
18th century. Costumes have been
ordered from abroad, new scenery has
been prepared and painted for the
occasion and no pains have been spared
to make the scene effect grand.
Disinterested persons that have seen
the rehearsals speak highly of the
present preparation, and the manner in
which the principal characters take
their parts and are supported, and of
the unity of the play. As whole the
play is serious and contains a deep
moral lesson, but it is not humdrum nor
monotonous, and those that enjoy

followed by a very interesting sketch
by Mrs. S. A. Pratt, read by Mr.. NJ. S.

was passed under review from the year
1862 to the present time. Mr.. A. D.
Tenant then gave some "reminiscences
of the early struggles of the Church
when there were but few who took an
active part in Churchwork and express
ed his pleasure in seeing younger men
shouldering the burden. Letters, full
of tenderness, were then read from
Rev. J. A. Cameron now Of Pewaukee,
Wis, and Rev. L. NJ. Foster, of Poplar
Grove, ILL.,, who cherish kindly remem-
brances of their work in these
communities. DR.. Witter referred
particularly to the work Of Rev. J. H.
Harris, the first pastor of the Church,
as an educationalist and the noble work
done by the faithful few in the building
of the Church in those troubulous times.
Mr.. F. J. Wood was then called upon
for few remarks and spoke of the
work of the Sunday School and Choir
with which he has been SO long assoei-
ated paving a loving tribute to the
labors of the late Mr. III. B. Philleo in
these departments of .he Church work.
With vote of thanks to the writer's
of the letters the meeting closed.
