We take it for granted that everybody
in Georgia who is informed on the none

would there be in sending to the Senate a
man who studiously avoids the issue, or

Some very curious processesf for propa-
cation are racticed at the public gar
dens. One consists in cutting with a
knife ring around IL branch Of q plant.
One might imagine that the intention
was to kill the branch, but such is by
no maaus the object il view, The cut
having been made piece Of wet moss
is wrapped aud tied around tho branch at
that point Beneath this protection the
sap eAudes from the wound, and little
rootlets are developed. After a5few days
the branch is Gut away from the parent
stem, being theu itself complete plant,
with roots, all ready to put i'll a pot
This plan is adopted with plants of slow
growth, because one plant may thus be
split up into half dozen or more Of
good size, instead Of waiting for a
Seeding Or little slip to develop. Wash

He Needed Their Prayers.

An aged man In town adjoining

when every minister was not college
educated man and when churches aud
parishes often had no other meeting
house than schoolhauses 40 the three cor.
ners. The congregation of the town
where the stery teller lived had been
much shocked upon learning that their
preacher had departed nndeF most dis
creditable circumstance. On the follow
i1Eg Sunday it seemed to be the aim of
nearly every one to hush mp the scandal,
and under great restraint many interest
ing conversations were held, merely5to
show that the members Of the church
conIsl rise above sensational gossip, Just
before the services were closed one elder
brother arose and said: ''Brethre1l and
sisters, since we last met in this house
sg1aething which seems 10 have cast a
gloom over this congregation has oc-
CURED. We were all much attached to
our minister. In fact, We loved him,
and / now propose that VIC offer up 4
prayer for the wanderer " A sensational
wave went over the audience, and an
other brother, the senior even of the
other, arose and said: I'm agtonished
that you should desired the congregation
to pray for our crring minlster--yOu
above all others. =" 'FWhy?" Because
lao ran away with your young wife. -
''Yes, / know, and that is the reason
