The Caro- of the Piano.

The temperature of the room In
which the piano is kept Is one Of the
most important things to be consid-
cred. AS moisture 10 absolutely

the room is not allowed to become
too dry The growing plant will

may be sure that the atmosphere Is
such a one your piano needs and II
on the other hand, the plant does not
thrive 1t would be we'll to find out
the reason. About seventy degrees
Is the proper temperature for the
room In which the piano Is kept Do
not allow 1t to stand where the SUMS
rays can shine directly upon 1t, and

willows, The green shoots of the
willow were springing out, giving the
baskets quite a pretty effect, also
showing that they were made when
wanted Plants grown In the open
ground can readily be transferred to
these baskets, which will keep roots
and soil intact and at the same time
will bear rough treatment which no
other material could be expected to
stand during transportation. If ever
our nurserymen or florists prepare fine
specimen plants Of Evergreens, and
shrubs as they do in Europe, this
basket will commend itself to ensure
safe delivery Besides the basket for
the roots, each bush was enclosed in
different sized hoops brought to a
point by 3 or 4 uprights, and the
whole wrapped with bagging. In
this style of packing no injury can
come to top or bottom and such
bundles can be packed in so as to take
up the least possible space

Grow More Parsnlns.

The parsnip is root generally
liked, and should be always grown.
If more are planted than needed for
table use the surplus makes excellent
feed raw for cows or horses, or cooked,
even for hogs and poultry, 1t is a
root more easily grown than carrots,
as its wider leaf when it first comes
up makes it easily distinguishable in
hoeing between the rows But even
in advocacy of the parsnip we dislike
to say aught against the carrot Both
roots should be grown, and the carrot
may be sown thicklY, so that il some
are cut out in wedding enough may
be left to make a stand.

and May 30, 1431, was burned at the
stake in Rouen and her ashes were
thrown into the Seine. Her trial
was most unjust and her execution
an infamy. Subsequently proceedings
were set on foot which removed the
faint of sorcery from the family.
Special homage has been paid to
the memory Of Joan of Arc by the
French ever since the surrender of
Lorraine, where she was born, to the
Germans in the war of 1901.
Many monuments have been erected
to her and the greatest of French
artists have painted pictures in her
honor. We reproduce the great pict-

being burned at the stake.

JOAN OF ARC BEArlFIED.
The Maid Of Orleans Honored After
Nearly Five Centuries.


Nearly Five Centuries.
After lapse OF 402 years Joan of
Arc, the Maid of Orleans, has been
beatlded by the Catholic Church.
For a long time France has been en-
deavoring to have the heroine's name
placed on the catalogue of saints,
and the Qualification, now announced,
Is an advanced step in the process Of
Canonization.
Joan Of Arc was born in Domremy,
Lorraine, In l4l1, and was burned at
the stake In Rouen in 1881. The
work that made her famous and led
to her dlsgraceful execution was the
heroic part she played In the wars
that rent France at that period.
France was partially occupied by the
English, and some French factions
recognized Henry vi. of England as
King. Joan believed she was called
specially by heaven to rescue France,
and the Dauphin, heir TO the French
throne, crowned King. She per-
suaded the Dauphin that she had a
heavenly mission and In 1929 she en-
tered Orleans, then besieged by the
English. She compelled them to
raise the siege, and the natural ardor
Of the French was so kindled by the
heroism Of the simple country maiden
that several great victories were won,
and the Dauphin was crowned, under
the title Charles VII, at Rheims.
After the coronation of Charles her
good fortune seems to have deserted
her, and in 1880 she was taken prls-

Her baby sleeping across her knee.
And the work her fingers were toiling at
Seemed a pitifnl task for such as She
Mending shoes for the little feet
That battered over the cabin floor.
While the bells OF the Sabbath day rang sweet
And the neiehbors passed by the open door.
The children played and the baby slept,
And the busy needle went and came,
When, 10, on the threshold stone there slept
A priestly figure and named her name:
~what shrift is this for the Sabbath day,
When bells are calling. and far and near
The people gather to praise and pray?
Woman, why are you toiling here!"
Like one in q dream she nswered low:
Father, my days are workdays all:
know no Sabbath. / dare not go
Where the beautiful bells ring out and call.
For who would look TO the meat and drink
And tend the children and keep the place?
l pray in silence and try TO think,
For Gods love can listen and give me grace
The years passed on, and with fast and prayer
The good priest climbed to the gate of rest,
And a tired woman stood waiting there,
Her work worn hands TO her bosom pressed
"Oh, saint. thrice blessed. mount thouon hfgh!'
He heard the welcoming angels say,
And meekly, gently, she passed him by,
Who had mended shoes on the Sabbath dny
