Propagating.
The novitiate gardener has a great deal
of trouble starting new plants. Of course
every one knows that when plant can be
grown from cutting at all. it can be done
quicker than to grow one from the seed; in
fact, many of our choicest plants do not
mature seed, and almost everything can be
grown from cuttings, or divisions of the
root, if one only knew the proper time to
take the cutting, the exact degree of tenn
perature, and the amount of light Florists
understand these things, but they are not
anxious, as general thing, to impart their
knowledge, and so we poor fower-loving
men and women have to learn by expert
ence, and the few hints and suggestions we
can obtain from each other.
1t is true there are books on the subject,
but do not know of one I could recon-
mend. Perhaps our editor does, though.
think in treating the subject of propa-
eating by cuttings, it would be best to
divide it, and consider each division sep
arately. First, there is the succulent and
milky plants; these should be broken over,
but not entirely off, and left for two or
three days, until the wound has healed
over. then planted in rather dry earth, that
is to say, only slightly moist. This class
of plants are almost sure to rot if kept too
wet, but if treated right will root quickly
and give no trouble.
The other class, the woody, tough, fibrous
kinds, should be treated altogether differ
entity. Instead of being broken they should
be cut with sharp knife. slantwise. Some
advise cutting in obliquely from one side,
near the end, inserting small chip to keep
it pried apart, that this incision will throw
out roots sooner than the more exposed
parts. I have not thoroughly tested this
theory. but believe there is something
in it.
These woody plants need an abundance
Of water, the most speedy plan being to
keep them in pure water Fill glass bot
tie or jar with water and suspend the cut
tings so that they will not rest on the bot
tom, and place in a strong light. If you
are going to try this method, be sure and
take shoot with the flower bud on it. as
it will root more readily. Pinch the bud
out so that it will not sap the twig by de-
veloping and drawing sustenance from it.
Plants which particularly like this treat
ment are Jasmine. Oleanders, HIBISCUS,
etc.
have found Plumbago very hard to
start, and as last resort, tried the water
plan. believe it is going to be success.
There is another way, by which the most
obstinate may be induced to grow.
Take tin can and cut good sized hole
in the bottom, run limb of your tree or
shrub through it, leaving the can upright;
then pack little moss paper. or rag

flower of the Hindoos. for instance, has
always been the Marigo1d. The Assyrians
for ages proudly wore the Water Lily.
Egyptians delight most of all in the Hello
trope, though the Papyrus, used by the
ancient Egyptians in the place of paper,
may also be regarded in a high sense as
the symbolic plant of the land of the Nile.
The Greeks and Romans were in the
habit of distributing the flowers in their
luxurious gardens among their gods and
demigods; just as in yet more remote pc

Oak of war, and the Grape-leaf of fes-
tivity
The Romans devoted to Juno the Lily,
to Venus the Myrtle and Rose to Minerva

The Paris Daisy or Marguerite, the royal
flower of Italy, is own cousin to our Ox-eye
Daisy and very much like it, only slenderer
of stem and thinner of petals, and both are
specimens of the now popular Chrysanthe

The Scotch white Heather is an emblem
of love: if a maiden accepts a spray of this
from herlover he may hope, and if she
places it in her girdle or on her bosom
then he knows she is his The Edelweiss,
a Swiss flower, is sacred to betrothals in its
native home. There is pretty legend in
connection with it's origin. The history of
the Rose of Jericho is legendary and ro-
mantle in high degree. 1t is said to have
first bloomed on Christmas eve, to salute
the birth of the Redeemer. These plants
may be bought in a dry state, and may
remain so for any length of time, but will
expand when placed in water.
We find in our time the sacred days in
the calendar of the English church have
all their flower or plant emblems. the prin

the Palm for Palm Sunday, and the ANA

For several years past much has been
written and said about our national flowers,
but as yet none has been formally adopted;
and it seems doubtful if we ever have one,
as the opinion is gaining ground that it will
be more satisfactory for each state to select
a flower for itself. If this was done we
could have a national bouquet, l think
that would be much better than one flower.

It is now just one year until the next
state election; but from the manner in
which the Republican partisan papers
are abusing the several aspirants for
the .. s. senatorship, one would scarce
~ think the contest month away.
The hustling of the wonld-be Senators
has already begun. Dubois, Snoup and
Mcconnell are all counted in the ring.
The more their respective enemies
pitch into them the easier viii the walk
over be for the NUeGEr's own candidate
whose name we viii not mention now.
He lives IN Canyon county, however.

Mexican bonds, payable in Mexican
silver dollars, are reported to be worth
80 cents in the money markets of the
world. Mexico, on silver basis, is en-
joying greater prosperity and nearly all
her industries are in a more 1ourishing
condition than ever before in he's his
tory. Our southern neighbor israpidly
becoming manufacturing country. If
Mexico can now cell bond for 80 cents
payable in silver dollar, worth only
So cents in gold, it demonstrates that
either her credit is better than that of
the United States or that the money
lenders foresees a day when silver will
again be brought back to parity
with gold and that that day will pre-
cede the time when her bonds will be-
come due.

Election Notes
Whoever dreamed he would live to see
Kentucky go back on Democracy?

Whoever dreamed he would live to see
Kentucky go back on Democracy?
Maryland, my Maryland. what did
you mean? Did you rebuke German
to please Cleveland, or was CIeveland's
delight only an incidental result OF
your declaration of independence,
which freed you from your political
boss?
John g. Carlisle went back on his
silver sentiments and Kentucky went
back on Carlisle.
There is cause for mourning in both
Pennsylvania and Mississippi. Had
their brutal majorities each been re-
versed, there would have been cause
for rejoicing. The republican state is
just as deep in the miro OF iniquity as
the democratic state is in the mud of
Bourbonism.
Populists would have shown more
discretion had they stood outside of the
ring and howied at the contest. AS it
was, they only got in and snapped at
the combatants' heels and got tram
pied in the sawdust.
The Mormons in Utah have been
overcome by the Mormons in. Utah.
This remark may sound as if it did not
mean anything, but if you will study
the plan of the campaign made by the
democrats You will see that it is true.

Tie Right Talk.


Sam Davis has the following to say
in the San Francisco Call regarding The
modern prize ring humbug:
'The experience of the last few
months with couple of windy prize
fighters known as Corbett and Fitz-
simons, ought to teach the press of the
United States. little common horse
sense regarding the way their columns
have been systematically worked by
the people who make their living out
of pugilism. OF late years the ring has
become an immense money making
concern, and through the slick opera
tions OF crafty managers the papers
have been made to do the work gratu-
itously of getting vast crowds together
to witness these events, by which the
managers and principals are able to re-
alize large fortunes. 1t seems hardly
fair that men engaged in honest, square
commercial pursuits should be obliged to
pay round rates to the newspapers for
their business when men
who are outide the pale of the law and
engaged in violating the statutes of the
states in which they operate should be
constantly kept before the public and
given hundreds of dollars worth of free
per month";

1t is singular but it istrue, thatthere
is but little patriotism in the New Eng

troll. The leaders in those little States
are smart. bright, always money maxi

They have made lawsfor thei interests
long enough. They want high tariff
to boom the price Of everything they
have to sell, and they want the gold
standard to reduce the price of every
thing they want to buy. Those States
are filed by money Ioaners and 'oupon
cutters, and as a class are but little bet

millions of people living in those States

Under the title Taking the New
York Police Force out of Politics." by
Theodore Roosevelt. one OF New York's
Police Commissioners, the November
Cosmopolitan publishes a most interest
ing and instructive paper, describing
what the reform mayor and commits
sioners have done to relieve New York
from the rule of Tamany and the sal
DON, gambler and other bad elements
which have dominated the politics of
that city through the rule of Tamany.
Mr.. Roosevelt has been the best abused
man in New York for the past year. II
he and the other commissioners keep
their nerve and continue steadfastly
in the reform work they have so broad
ly begun. they will have set an ex-
ample worthy of emulation in every
American city.

The Elections

Mississippi has gone democratic! II
cold type could only throw the proper
lintonation into this statement, that is,
to say it with both the tone of disgust
democrat would put in it, or with the
sarcasm in which a republican would
express it, it would tell the whole story.
In other words, the republicans have
swept New York, Pennsylvania, Mary
land Ohio, Kentucky and Utah. For
the first time in her history, Kentucky
will have a republican governor; and
for the first time, Maryland has gone
republican. The republicans will have
a plurality in the Kentucky legislature,
but the populists will hold the balance
of power. The republican majority in
Ohio exceeded expectations and gives
eoIdbug and high tariff MeKinley's
boom for the presidency, boost which
all friends of bimetallism ought to re-
gret. Senator Quay is still the politi-
cal boss in Pennsylvania, and the only
consolation we find in this is that he is
a political confrere of Senator Cam
eron and that Cameron is pronounced
silver man. Utah will add two friends
of silver to the U. S. Senate, but would
have done the same had the election
gone the other way Tsmany has again
downed the reformers in New York
City, but the state has given big re-
publican majority. We will have re-
publican senator from Maryland, and
another from Kentucky, provided the
populist balance of power sells out that
way or course they will sell out, and
we don't care which way, provided
they sell to beat Carlisle and the gold
bugs.

1t is almost pity that the Couer

violence against the miners at Mullan,
did not go far enough to get taste of
the MALTA. They set upon a stranger,
hunting work at Gem, this week, and
beat him numerically and then robbed
him, for no apparent provocation, and
the authorities up there, elected by the
mob element and sympathizing with it.,
have done nothing with them. In ad-
dition to this, the blatherskite, Boyce,
who truly represented the element
