that if wood ashes are taken, crushed fine
and sifted when dry over the heads of
rose bushes, after they lave been syringed
with water, the ashes will adhere to the
leaves, and, on account of their alkaline
nature, will soon make livery uncomforta-

them. The ashes in moderate quantities
will not injure the plants, but, on the
other hand, will be rather beneficial as a

TO draw upon my own recollccticns, my
childhood was haunted by bears. They
were not bears out of books. so far rs can
remember, but childish formula for the
dark unknown which is apt to brighten
every little stranger who comes alone into
this great world of ours. Many an hour
have l lain awake in an ecstasy of trcm-
bling lest the sonorous breathing of the
sister asleep mt my side should be loud
enough to rouse the dire beasts from their
lurking places.
Yet these hours did not "embitter my In
fancy" nor do they now in retrospect cause
me poignant grief. What does shame me
Is the remembrance of other hours of that
same period when was trying to ad just
my emotions and actions to an agreement
with those of the particular heroine out Of
fiction who happened to be my nearest &C.
