The United States Government is evidently
making up its mind to check immigration
sharply. Though there Is no cholera in
America, and the epidemic rs dying away in
Europe, the Government, in order to prevent q
future panic, has imposed on all immigrants a
quarantine of twenty days. This almost. prohi-
bits the traffic, as the steamer companies cannot
bear the additional expense. Itismore thanpro-
bable that, if this device is not successful, Con.
gress will impose an import duty on immigrants,
avowsdly to prevent the arriy al of .paupers
bur really. to arrest the stream now flowing
in from Eastern and Central Europe. Such
a scheme would be popular in all the cities,
as the artisans declare themselves subjected
to an unjust competition by workmen of lower
grades of civilization.

Count Ceprivi. on the following day. made
duration. in which be first of all REJECTED the
idea Of an offensive war undertaken to ter
inmate an oppressive situation. Such a war,
he declared, would be both immoral and I'M
wise, for even if Germany We're victorious
over a we'll prepared France, and once more
entered Paris in triumph, there was nothing
she could ask to repay her for her sacrifices.
Germany wanted no territory, and milliards
brought with them their own thorns. France
was enraged by the loss of her provinces in
1870, and by her military humiliation but
Germany would not begin a new war.
Neither would she with Russia, though the
Russian people hated the Germans, and might
bring influences to bear which would tempt
the Gar, himself peace-loving, to open an
attack. Already Russia was convinced that
the next war would be OH her Western from

was concentrating all her efficient troops in
that direction. Count C%aprivi's words upon
his subject were rather ominous, as we have
pointed out elsewhere, and he ended by i'm

sacrifices that would be imposed upon them
by a great defeat. They must send down
their inheritance undiminished to posterity.

Floral Items,

Professor Budd says: "The hydrangea
starts from green cuttings as easily as
the geranium. The secret of success lies
in cutting back quite severely, as is prac-

The double pearl tuberose is a most de-
sirable sort for all who desire this
flower.
Margaret Bruant is an excellent dwarf

The Fall webworm.

During the fall months worms will be
fond injecting fruit trees and forming
large webs filled with these insects en-
gagged in devouring the leaves. If left
undisturbed the branches they occupy
Are soon completely stripped of their
leaves and the worms will often be found
dropping from their nests. AS soon as
a branch is discovered where they have
made a beginning, the twigs infested
should be cut off at once and removed
or be swabbed clean with strong soap
suds. If the nests have been left until
they have become large and filled with
worms they may be broken up by brush
ing them off with a broom, or what will
be more effectual and less repulsive,
both nests and worms may be destroyed
by burning them with torch carried on
the end of pole long enough to reach
them.

the punches are short and the plant Wig
orous and productive. Fay's Prolific, a

sidered one of the finest of black cur
rants. The White Dutch is well known

Lawn moving with the hand machine,
whenever practicable, should be done
soon after the grass has been well
washed by rain, and the grit and dust
removed which so often dulls the cutting
blades. For the same reason set the
knives so as to cut rather high, avoiding
the sand near the ground, allowing the
grass stronger roots and better growth
than by close cutting. This advice is

The fruits of wild forms of Prunus
Americana vary widely in season, size,
shape, flavor and character Of stone.
Trees in the same clump often vary two
weeks in season of ripening of fruit,
which may vary from dull deep red to
yellow. 1t should be said, however, that
there is no true clear yellow fruit in this
Species. The yellow of p. Americana is
always more or less i'll defined under
color, over which are laid blotches of
red. The fruits are more or less flat
tened, as is well shown in the cut, usu-
ally oblong and truncate or somewhat
flattened at the ends, and arc commonly
marked with distinct suture. All the
varieties have u light purple bloom.
