Gaping IL.

Mr.. Finlayson, town clerk Of Stirling,
was noted for the marvellous in conver.
sation. He was ON visit TO the Earl OF
Monteith and Airth, at his castle in
Taha. ON the loch of Monteith, and was
about taking leave, when he was asked
by the earl whether he had seen the
sailing cherry tree.
mo-" said Finlayson. "What sort
Of a thing is it?"
1T is," replied the earl, "a tree that
has grown out of a goose's mouth from
a stone the bird had swallowed, and
which she bears about with her in voy-
ages round the loch. 1t is just at pres-
ent In full fruit Of the most exquisite
flavor. Now, Finlayson, he added,
"can you. with all your power OF men,
ory and fancy, match the story OF the
cherry tree9"
s,Perhaps can." said Finlayson,
clearing his throat, adding: when
Oliver Cromwell was at Airth, one OF
the cannon sent a ball to Stirling and
lodged it in the mouth Of a trumpet
which one of the troops in the castle
was in the act of sounding.
WAS the trumpeter killed" said the
earl.
"No. my lord. said FinIayson. "He
blew the ball back and killed the artil-
leryman who had fred it!"-Liyerpool

nean Hole on Roses.

Dean Hole is one of the most success
full rosegrowers in England. He was
recently interviewed as to their care
and said:
"A spot should be found that is shell
tered without being shaded. Every
overhanging tree is as a upas tree TO
rose. Get a spot where the sun shines
warmly on the sheep and the wind is
tempered to the shorn lamb. Avoid
drips and roots. Manure in winter and
mulch in spring. In the summer months
let them be we'll watered below and
we'll sprinkled two or three times a
week. Let all insects be removed. When
the ground is clayey, drain it well, for
when water stagnates about the roots
Of a plant they cannot receive air or
warmth. Cut your drains with a good
fall, straight four feet deep. Burnt clay,
l find, produces permanent friability in
soils. "
The doctor considers his method OF
burning clay excellent He keeps all
prunings, bones and vegetable matter
together and makes them into fire,
putting N old tree stump on top. This
he covers with clay, renewing it as the
fire breaks through; suppresses the
flames, and after burning a fortnight
blends the ashes with the soil.
As to the manures, he thinks SCOT ex-
cellent for tea roses, which grow TO such
outdoor perfection in England. Au-
tumn leaves are good for Bourbons. He
does not care so much for tea leaves as
the friend Of his who drenched the roots
with the contents Of the teapot that she
might have tea scented Chinas. The
best manure Of all he thinks is the
refuse heap Of the farmyard-

point in that young mans history, for.

A Decision Called For.
Passed each portal, there was grind

the scenery on either side Of the road
changed from gardens to deserts, and
the June air became cutting December

Of light became hollow with hopeless

start had tossed with wine, poured forth
bubbling tears and foaming blood, and
on the right side Of the road there was

answer was, THAT is the serpent Of

had wound him round and round, and
be said to the bad angel, what is it

the man said to the bad angel: What
