Prepnring for Winter.

DO not cover your roses too early nor
too heavily. They often heat and grow
under the covers. Leaves make good
protection with evergreen limbs or brush
laid over to hold them in place. tss
Get your compost heaps ready; mix lot
of leaves with the compost until the whole
is light, but heavy enough to hold it's place
against the wind Spread this over. the
Strawberries not too heavily, just as the
first heavy freezing begins. Better antici-
pate u heaving frost. Z
Have your roses pegged down.. nave
come to the conclusion that with most
roses this is better than any covering.
Sometimes l loosen the roots OH one side
to let the plants lie over enough. 49,
Cover hollyhocks and perennial phloXes
with few leaves and brush. Put piles
of leaves around choice shrubs and hold
them down with stems. Let leaves blow
under all evergreen hedges, and don't re-
move them.
When the heavy rains or thaws are likely
to wash the soil, be sure in late autumn to
dig shallow channels to carry the water
quickly to bitches. Save your soil. A vast
amount is often washed away, and the
best of it.
The best plants to dig for winter forcing
are lilac bushes and the yellow Towering
Ribes, or currant. With these pot some
small masses of lemon lily roots Set in
the cellar, and carry to a warm room some
time >ciore needetl-about three weeks.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet-
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the

Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; efectually cleansing the system,

1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug

the better way is not to let the stomach

t'E+3 = CharUa


Charge.
There is q story told of Capt. Nolan
of the Light brigade at Balaklava. Nolan
as aide-de-cmp of the division general
assumed to guide the Light brigade in it's
awful charge, and, with frantic exclana-
ton and vehement gestures with his up
lifted sword. he rode to the right oblique
beyond the head of the reckless column,
in order to draw the 600 out of the val
ley Of death, which lay directly in their
course, off toward line of fanking re-
doubts which they had been ordered to
attack, and where victory and not disas-
ter doubtless awaited them. When he
was few PAGES to the right of the lead
ing ranks piece of shell struck him on
the chest, tearing into the heart. King
lake makes the following minute record
of the event:
1.-THE sword dropped from his (Nolan's)
hand, but the arm with which he was
waving it the moment before still re-
manned high uplifted in the air, and the
grip of the practiced horseman, remaining
as yet unrelaxed, still held him firm in
the saddle. Missing the perfect hand of
his master, and finding the accustomed
g si; name! now succeeded by the dan.
g!lng relns, the horse all at once wheeled
about and began to gallop back upon the
front of the advancing brigade. Then,
from what had been Nolan-and his form
was still erect in the saddle, his sword
arm still high in the air-there burst forth

hearer who rode nearest him called it

continued the historian, 1.-THE sound result

those spasmodic forces which may act
upon the bodily frame when life as a
power has ceased. The tirm-seated rider,
with arm uplifted and stiff, could hardly
be ranked with the living. The shrek
men heard rending the air was scarce
other than the shrek of a corpse. The
dead horseman rode on till he passed
