Lnuet seed may be krpt dry for year
or two without destroying It's vitality,
but II must 10 all cases be thoroughly
scalded before sowing, or II will lie
whole year in the ground without vege-
tating. For quart Of seed pour on four
quarts Of hot water and let it stand II or
"a hours, when most, II not all, of the
seeds will be swollen to several times
their former size. Stir the seeds while in
the water so as TO agitate them briskly,
and while In motion pour off the water
and swollen seeds, while the others, being
heavier, will remain at the bottom Of the
vessel; then scald and let soak as before.
and they will generally all swell. The
seeds can then be sown where designated
to remain or in q nursery bed, and the
trees transplsnted when one year old.
Nurserymen do most OF the work Of
propaeating vsrieti' Of plants by cuttings
in the winter. This is partly because
there Is not so much else to occupy their
attention, and partly because the out
house in winter affords really the best
opportunity to make the cutting grow
surely and vigorously. The chief attempt
is to get the root growth started first. All
the heat that comes from the fires 10
turned under the soil where the cuttings
are placed. There is little sunlight in
winter to make the air warm, and the
cutting in moist sand callouses quickly
and sends out the white, threadlike roots
by the time the buds begin to swell. So
soon as they burst forth these roots ex-
tend with greatly increasing rspidity,
caused by this new demand upon them.
All who have tried growing cuttings out
Of doors know how apt the top Of the
cutting is to make a growth OF two or
three leaves from the bud and then wither
and die. For this reason cuttings for our
outdoor planting are best made with
two or more eyes, and some Of these COW
cred in the soil so that they do not start
80 quickly. With the bottom heat which
thenurseryman provides in the dollhouse,
single eyes are best. Not only can grape
cuttings be thus propogated. but also
cuttings Of the rose and other plants that
are hard to propagate in the open air.

At the Brazilian Capital.

The Fourth of July this year will
be celebrated in grand style in Rio de
Janiero, the capital of the Brazilian
republic. Among other things on the
program will be the unwilling of the
statue Of James Monroe, the fifth
President of the United States and the
promulgator OF the idea which has
finally become recognized as inter
national law under the name of the
Monroe Doctrine: 1t provides that no
European power shall interfere with
the respective governments Of the indie
pendent American republics Of South
America. European powers religious
ly lived up to it until the summer of
1898, when Admiral Benham, in com.
mand Of the South Atlantic squadron,
learned that there was a well under
stood plan on the part of the Euro
pean powers to crush out the young
republic. The American admiral
very soon gave the Europeans to I'M
derstand that no interference would
be tolerated, and kept large fleet of
American warships on guard. Had it
not been for his Offices, the Brazilian
republic might now be thing of the
past 1t is in grateful remembrance
of American aid that the Brazilians
have for months been preparing to
make the Fourth Of July, 1894, the
greatest gala day in the countrys his
tory.

How Willie Spent His Fourth.

hhen Willie was about i've years
old ne spent his Fourth of July in the
house. He did not like that at all.
lie felt bad all day, and be was really
glad when the Fourth was over All
the other boys were shooting off fire.
crackers, but alas! he was not allowed
to have any.
Oh, how hard Willie pleaded with
mamma to go out into the street!
Wouldn't she let him shoot off lust
one cracker?"
mo, Willie" said mamma: you
must wait until the next Fourth, and
then you will be old enough to look
out for yourself. l am afraid now
you might be burned and badly hurt"
Long before the next Fourth of July
came around Willie had made great
preparations. He had saved his pen.
MES and there must have been over
dollar in his iron bank.
About week before the Fourth
Willie went to his papa and told him
what he had been saving his pennies
for.
What" inquired papa, do you
want to spend all that money for fire.
crackers?"
"Yes," said Willie; take it all"
"Oh no." said papa; 81 will buy all
the frecrackers you want and you can
save your money for something else"
That evening when papa came home
he brought packs and packs of fire.
crackers, done up in red paper and
with Chinese letters on the outside.
Here you are" said papa 81
bought some fireworks too"
The next day big box containing
Roman candles sky-rockets, PIN
wheels, etc, came to the house.
There seemed to be no end to VIII
lies joy, and he talked of little else
save the Fourth-what day it would
be! And the DAYS passed quickly un-
til the third of July came. That night,
after Willie had been put to bed, said
papa, with quiet smile, to mamma:
Don't you think we ought to have
told Willie that the Fourth comes on
Sunday this year,"
YES" said mamma; ''he does not
seem to know thrt am sure he will
be very much disappointed"
: Bright and early on the morning of
the Fourth, Willie came running down
stairs Where are the crackers? Let
me set some off before breakfast
please do"
Then papa had to say, mo, not to-
day, but tomorrow.
First Willie looked confused, and
then the tears came to his eyes
To-day" said papa again, is Sun
day. No one is allowed to shoot off
6re-crackers on the Sabbath"
Thepo boy was puzzled. He did
not, could not, understand why the
Fourth should come on Sunday.
Later on the bells began to ring out
all over the city. Willie saw the peo-
pie going to and coming from church,
and he went to Sunday-school himself
in the afternoon.
Now have told you how Willie
spent the Fourth-in the house. You
can imagine how he spent the fifth of
July.

this morning"
Hush, Clara, he will hear some
more Of your foolishness."
These remarks l heard from some
persons close behind me. l did not
have to turn my head to know who
was talking, but hurried straight
ahead
The mayor rode in soon after we
reached the grounds, but it was an
hour before the orator of the day
came in, with his coat on his arm, and
on foot.
When everything was quiet, the
mayor arose, and spoke as follows:
Ladies and gentlemen: You all

speech-making; but when it comes to
shoot I'm in it You all know what
we are here for. l do not suppose
there Is person present that is old
enough to take drink, but knows this
is the Fourth of July. We are here to
celebrate the glorious anniversary OF
American Independence. The reason
why we celebrate this day is because
it's big day in this country. The
reason we celebrate the day is because

A Grand Celebration.

Billy and Nat and the other bows
we're on their way tothe village to buy
fireworks for the Fourth when they
saw queer-looking wagon moving to-
ward them 1t looked like hen-coop
on wheels but when it came nearer
they found it was huge cage with an
eagle in it.
The boys surrounded the wagon at
once, and fred perfect volly of ques-
tons at the driver.

when it was little" he explained:
and | have just been carrying it to
town to sell to the show; but the show
is gone, so Unjust cart him back.
Why, you ought to let him fy!'
cried Billy. Don't you know, to-
morrow is the Fourth, and | guess
George Washington would not have
liked very we'll to see the American
eagle cooped up like a chicken"
The man laughed. We'll, now, if
you boys feel so, why don't you buy
him and let him loose tomorrow? He
would go up like sky rockets"
The boys looked at each other
That's so." they all cried together
So bargain was struck, and they
carried the eagle home in triumph.
That evening the following handful
was posted around Merryville:
