The Mountain Laurel.

1t is certainly strange that Ameri-
can gardeners have paid so little atten.
ton to the mountain laurel, Kalmia
latifolia, as decorative plant Probably
there is not one laurel planted In this
country for every thousand rhododen-
drons and azaleas, although the flowers
Of the laurel are not less beautiful. In
deed some good judges consider them
more beautiful than the flowers Of any
other American shrub. 1t is, moreover,
an easier plant to cultivate and much
less particular about soil and exposure.
One Of the reasons why it has been neg
lected no doubt is that it Is common,
native shrub. and another Is that 1t Is
not always an easy matter to procure

be dug up in the woods, but they require

4 sible Boycott.

In Indiana, some time ago, they say,
a man got license and opened saloon.
The people OF the village met and re-
solved not to have anything to do with
him. They would sell him nothing, they
would not notice him on the street; IN
fact, they disregarded him in every way.
When he went to store the merchant
would ask:
care you the man that sells liquor in
our town.
"Well, then, sir, can not sell you any
goods"
lie could not get mail at the postotiice
for any one but himself without writ
ten order. He cursed, raved, but soon
closed his saloon and went into better
business than that OF making drunkards,
and is now an honored citizen.
Another man opened a saloon there
and the people treated him the same
way. His place was soon closed, and
we think there will never be another at
tempt made to open saloon in B., foi
law or no law, no saloonatic can live under
such pressure.

Handel. Piagiarisns.

As plagiarist Handel claims special
attention. Otner mons musical ideas
crowded upon lis receptive !hind u
lavishly as did his own, and he seems 70
have turned them very largely 70 ae-
count. \ later age, with a more scruti-
nizing ego and analytical craze than his
own, has discovered that Handel has
Justly entitled himself to the reputation
of being a musical pirate, as bold and
barefaceJ as was ever abroad He dld
not merely borrow ideas he lifted
whole movements en- bloc.
One charge will suffice, although
Erba, Stradella, Colonna and others have
all been laid under contribution. When
in 1743 a grateful nation returned
thanks for the battle Of Dettingen, Han
del provided "Te Deum," presumably
of his own composition. 1t has been dis
covered, however, that the composition
is mainly the music Of tie Dcum'' by
Uric, who was chapel master III
Venice in the seventeenth century.
No less than nine movements in the
"DettingenTo Deum" and six in Saul
are "cribs" of an amazing and eu-
dacious nature for Crio's work What
induced Handel to thus appropriate and
palm off as his own other mems work
no one has discovered. 1t is a great blot
on an otherwise honorable artistic ca
reer and is the less excusable because
it must have been even less trouble for
him to write an original movement than
to copy one -Blackwood' Magazine.

Wardjng Off Disease.

When Susan Bentley married Hugh
Lynn, and returned with him to his home
in the South, she knew nothing OF his
family. She found them to be clever,
gay, warm-hearted people who welcomed
her cordially and took her at once to their
hearts. In their homes, however, she
learned before many days had passed
some facts that startled her. Several OF
her husbands uncles and cousins-men
OF high social position-drank to excess.
Susan thought and prayed over these
terribly significant facts alone. Then,
hiding all her misery and terror, she
went to her husband with a cheerful
face.

a tendency to the disease OF drunkenness

Young Lynn was 4 man ii wit and
sense, and was fond OF his WIFE, He
knew tina: ii every branch Of the Lynn
family one man al least had died drunk
ard. He knew, too. that even with his
young, healthy body he already some
times felt the awful craving. He was
glad 10 alop. any plan which she might
suggest.
Her plan was simple one. She paid
special attention to the food OF her fam
ily no wines, spices, or hot condi-
ments were used even in cooking. The
neighborhooi wondered, for the commu-
nifty was one where good living held
high place in the estimate OF LIES good
things. susan was always cooking savory
little dishes for her husband, that he
might not fird his meals iHsipd.
"Other people, she said, gaily, may
perhaps take wine or take cold with i'm
punity; but we Lynns can do neither
Her one object for years was to keep
her husband interested and eager in his
business and amusement. "A happy,
busy man does not desire anything fur
Their" she reasoned wisely.
TIE result OF this experiment, which
occupied and filled the greater part OF
her life, was that Hugh Lynn is still liv-
ing, hale, sober man Of seventy, and
that the family curse has not fallen upon
one OF his three sons.
This story is true, with the exception OF
the names We tell it because among
those who will read 1t are many who have
inherited this most cruel and mortal Of
all diseases.
alcoholism, says Doctor Swayne, "is,
in many cases, an affection o. the stom-
ach, brain and nerves, transmitted from
father to son. Ii can be cured by atten-
ton to hygiene and diet, under medical
supervision. Like almost all hereditary
diseases, too, with this attention it will
die out in family after one or two gen.
erations."
There is hope even in this darkest Of
all places in life.
