attention of the Presbyterian general
assembly this morning.
The committee of bills and overtures
reported upon the request that steps be
taken to secure uniformity of worship
in all the churches. 1t was recommend

he said that it was the desire of the
church that these societies be let alone

Stocks Ruled Strong During the Major
 Part of the Day.

Fart or the Day.
 New York, Sept. 4.--Stocks ruled strong until near the close when there was a slight reaction due to the bank failure in Montana and the suspension of a land and mortgage company in Kansas. The early strength of the market was the result of heavy cover ing of short contracts and increased buying for commission house account.
 The large receipts of gold from Flu rope to-day and the belief that addi- tional engagements of the metal for shipment to New York will be made in London next week, was the main fac tor at work. Money on call was per- ceptibly easier and transactions in time loans were reported at per cent for short dates.
 Related shorts contested the rise for a time, but in the afternoon trading even they were compelled O come into the market and cover u 4Ir contracts This buying with the commission bus mess already referred to led to a rise of H@25s per cent, Sugar, the grang- CTS, Louisville and Nashville, anthra- cite coalers, Vanderbilts and Gould stocks all being prominent in the up- ward movement.

experience, has taught us not to de-
pend too much on eXotics; for trees
from the north, as a general rule, do

Grating Oacti.

''The Professor" seems to have had
a time of it with his experiments. In
this connection [ would like to re-
peat three points that [ find it we'll
to remember: 1st. Both stock and
graft should be in a state of active
growth at the time of grating. 2nd.
Do not break the outer skin of the
stock, in wedge grating. Just make
the incision in the soft, pulp-like
center, and insert your prepared
graft and fasten it with a spine or
small wooden pin. 3rd. Be sure to
dust the cut part of the stock well
with powdered charcoal, and keep
your plant in out of the wet, or cover
the graft with paper cap until the
cut surface heals. [ seldom fail with
grated Cacti, and have some pretty
nice specimens now; but mine are all
the delicate varieties grated ON
stronger stocks. [ have never tried
grating any of the cushion varieties.

Common Flowers"

If your house is not adapted to the
tender plants that thrive only in a
warm atmosphere, try some of the
more common sorts. Take up your
youngest Petunia, pot it carefully,
cut it back literally, if in bloom,
keep it we'll watered and you will be
surprised at the results.
A box of Sweet Alyssum Uittle
GEM will thrive we'll in that cold
room where there is only little sum
shine and no fire at all. Place here
also a box of Seeding Pansies inter
spersed with a few plants of Mignon
cite. Have the soil very rich for
these, sprinkle the foliage with water
every day, do not let any of the
plants go to seed, and you will have
a charming bit of greenery, fra
GRANGE and bloom.
Many ANIMALS make attractive and
desirable winter plants. One of. the
best of these is Eschscholtzia Califor-
MICA. Seed sown in October or No
vember will come into bloom in
few weeks and continue blooming all
winter. The flowers are of a bright
yellow tinted with a satiny sheen
and on gloomy days brighten up a
room like a bit of sunshine. Morn
ing Glories are also nice for hanging
be sown as late as October and will
evolve a perfect mass of bloom

Trees That Whistle.

The musical or whistling tree is
found in the West Indian islands, in
Nubia and the Sudan. It has pecu-
liar shaped leaf and pods with a split
or open edge. The wind passing
through these sends out the sound
which gives the tree it's peculiar
name. In Barbados there is a valley
filled with these trees, and when the
trade winds blow across the islands
constant moaning, deep toned
whistle is heard from it, which in the
still hours of the night, has a very
weird and unpleasant effect. A spe-
cies of acacia, which grows very
abundantly in the Sudan, is also call
ed the whistling tree by the natives.
It's shoots are frequently, by the
agency of the larvae of insects, dis
torted in shape and swollen into a
globular bladder from one to two
inches in diameter. After the insect
has emerged from a curcular hole in
the side of this swelling, the open
ing, played upon by the wind, be-
comes a musical instrument, equal in
sound to a sweet toned fute.-Lon-
don Tid-Bits.

commonly abortions, but I know
they will not be popular with us.
Some odd ones appear as if cut in
strips with scissors, but it is natural
because each flower is so.
Each color and variety has it's pc
culiar leaf, and many are beautiful
ly dashed with silver. There is a
total dissimilarity in many leaves,
and few have the heart shape COM
mon to our own.

interesting some readers in this as

ing them that a dollar or two cannot
be spent to better advantage, provid-
ed the seeds are bona fide, [ am
