ways injured or destroyed in removal,
and it requires year or more, after
transplanting, for the bulbs to regain
their former strength and vigor.
Never divide and reset lilies until the
root gets matted together and the bulbs
get SO numerous as to injurc the growth
of tho plants When division of the
bulbs is necessary, it should be done in
October, after the lilies have completed
their growth for the season.
There is one exception, however.
The Candidum lily should be divided
as early as the first of September, as it
makes its leaf growth in autumn and if
disturbed later, it will not have time to
preform this part of its mission before
the ground closes for the season, and
the consequence will be no flowers will
appear the following summer. Per
haps this will explain why some people
cannot get their Candidum lilies to
a bloom.
When euriching the bed, be careful
to use well-rotted dressing, and let it
be finely purverized ; it may be mixed
with the soil, or upon the surface.
Leaf mold or wood-soil is very good to
mix with the soil, no matter if half the
compost is of this ingredient
Late in the fall the bed should be
literally dressed, which must be re.
moved as soon as all danger of cold and
frost is past in the spring.

Treatment of Lilies.

All our hardy lilies require about
the same treatment. They thrive best
in light, rich soil, and in dry, par
rially-shaded situation, where the water
cannot stand upon the bed in winter,
and where the hot SUP cannot blast the
buds before they are fully expanded, as
they are liable to be when exposed to
its burning rays.
Lilies should never be disturbed Sc
long as they bloom we'll, as the peren-
NAL roots which nourish them are al

The uncertainty of the future in re-
gard to the action President Cleveland 5
administration and the new congress
will take upon the tariff and the silver
questions is having an unfavorable eff
feet upon business and disturbing ten
dency upon the money and stock mar
kets. No one will embark upon new en-
terprises of any magnitude until there is
greater certainty in these things, and
it will probably be some months after
congress meets before anything is ac-
complished, unless the Democratic House
is an entirely different body from its inn

the powers that be may act promptly
and relieve the situation from this I'M

About 700 men had been treated at

and these cases were generally where
men had recklessly gone among old
associates and presumed too much upon
their power to withstand old influences.
Fifteen had been treated successfully
from the one city of Biddeford with but
one relapse and that was of man who
was mean enough to get drunk to spite
his mother.
Speaking of the physical danger of the
treatment he stated that but out of
the 700 had died within the year past. Il
very low death rate for any class of peo-
pie and inebriates would not be consd-
cred by life insurance men to he by any
means selected risks. The effect upon
