WE AND OUR NEIGHBORS


family was his undoing. He never sus
pected his Austrian father in law OF
treason. When he married Marie Louise
he looked upon her father as indissolu-
bly, connected with him. His Corsican
heart would not allow him to. believe
that father would sacrifice his daugh-
ter and bis grandson for hatred Of some
one else. There is something too much
OF galIantry in the book but then that
is the name OF il.
There is work enough for minister
ial association in this place the devil
knows. His horns were almost covered
when he suggested to the once united
association that the rain should no
longer be allowed to fall on the Univer-
ealist minister's garden plot. When
Mr.. Chaplin was expelled from the as
ISOLATION Mr.. Gregory and Mr.. Hewitt
withdrew also not from pique but he
cause they could not belong to body
which disobeyed so flaerantly one Of
Christ's reiterated iniunctiC s.
The real evils the association might
fight, il it were able to withdraw its at
tention from doctrinal questions and
the children who take the sugar from
the pantry shelves, are growing like
weeds under tropical sun.
When was 4 chic / used to inquire
OF the grown up wisdom about me what
the Scribes and Pharisees had done to
make Christ cry "Woe" unto them. /
could not find out that they had killed
any one or stolen or used bad language.
They we're only hypocrites and made
long prayers with professional quaver
and advocated the death penalty for
those who kept not the Mosaic Law.
They were good citizens so far as looks
went and exhorting their neighbors to
break away from sin. 1t is absolutely Ger.
tain il any such people were alive today
their names would appear on the remon-
STRANGE to Chancellor MacLcan against
The nee of the armory by the students
for any purpose but drill and athletics.
Not that it would be any Of their bust
ness. The Pharisee's strong hold was
other peoples business. Not that there
ls no impending danger but this one.
There are municipal burdens that
might be lightened by long and
strong pull and a pull all together by
the ministers and those they influence.
The forces OF evil-things that every
sane mind admits to be evil-are united.
They are almost as strong as the united
forces that ought to work against them.
Since the schism the old gentleman has
IN easy time. Since the scrap began
his parish has flourished and doubled
on his hands and now that the remnant
is diverting itself with students hope he
can lean back and rock. His parish will
grow without bis care To be exact
though, it is not that the ministerial asso-
citation cares whether the students dance
or moi. 1t insists that it is wicked for
them to dance in the armory. The dis
tinction is unintelligible to one who has
not had full theological course.

Proper Position for Walters.

The Objectionable method of encir-
cling a young woman's waist while III
the act of Waiting has been subjected
to adverse criticism. The mode which
now prevails - graceful, modest, and
entirely consistent with Propriety.
To acquire the proper position the gen
tleman's left hand should be placed just
below the shoulder of the lady. The
body should incline slightly and he
should relax a little in order that ar
tistic grace may be observed. He holds
his partners hand in his right, while his
proficiency as a dancer and his good
taste tell best how to dispose of the
clasped hands.

A Dishpan Stand.

\ correspondent writes that she uses
a dishpan sand in her kitchen and has
found it exceedingly convenient. 1t is
easily manufactured out Of any nice
-four barrel. First she fastens tw"
strips of wood, about one and a halE
inches thick, at the proper distance
from the bottom to allow slop
bucket to rest upon and remain just be
low the dishpan, which is large enough
to rest in the top of the barrel. The
advantage of this stand is that it car
lie easily moved. Where there is no
water or regular sink in the house to
hold the dishpan while washing dishes
it would DO convenient. Any house
where there is no sink and no pcrma-
rent water supply is house sadly be
hind the age. We have passed the pr
oueer day, and any well-to-do family
can easily put a sink in their houses,
aud a-goOd drain in connection with it.

Fight Between Students.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, March H.
A special to the Advertiser from
Evergreen, Ala, says: An en-
counter took place between Govan
Moorer and William Byrd, which
ended in the death OF the
former and the serious stabbing
Of the latter. They were students
Of the Southwest Alabama Agri-
cultural school which is located at
this place. Bad blood had existed
between the two for some time.
Moorer went to Byrd's room and
complained to the latter Of an in
suit. This brought on an alterca-
ton, and Moorer drew knife and
commenced cutting Byrd. Byrd
retreated into the yard and al
most around the house whens in
self-defense he picked up a piece Of
scantling wood and struck Moorer
tothe ground. The latter rose and
renewed the attack, when another
lick from Byrd crushed his skull,
causing death in a short time. No
arrests have been made as the de-
ceased's friends acknowledge 1t
was self defense. Both young men
were prominent at their homes.

some thrifty young plants at a green
house in February, take slip or two
from each and propagate at once. Then
in March set both the purchased plant
(now shifted into larger pot) and the
rooted slips (by that time potted) into
a hotbed and advance them we'll there
until planting-out time.
In plant propagation the home gar
dener often loses sight of various COLI
ditions which the professional deems
essential. By the aid of the accom-
panying sketch of a begonia | will
point out some of these. First, the slip
should not be too hard or too soft at its
difficulty and grow slowly; if too soft,
the slip is liable to decay or TO make Il
weakly plant. In the case of the be
gonia shoot illustrated, a point just be-
low the third joint, counting up, was
found to possess a condition interme-
date between the extremes named. In
preparing the cutting for the sand
some pruning is desirable, for now
there are no roots to sustain extra leaf
surface. To remove the lower leaf en-
t;rely and cut away the points of the
longer remaining leaves is all that is
required, leaving the slip as shown
at b.
Clean sand is the best substance in
which to root cuttings. The cutting
should not be set more than about
half an inch deep. The sand should
be somewhat compacted against it.
The cutting box or pot should occupy a
warm, light place, shading the slips if
the sunshine be strong. Enough water
should be applied to keep the roots
from tagging, and frequent sprinkling
of the foliage is desirable. AS soon az
roots half an inch in length have been
formed it is desirable to pot the young
plant. - Elias A. Long, in American
Gardening.

HOME FLOWER, GARDEN.
Propagation from Slips Fully Explained
and Illustrated.

BY striking slips of geraniums,
double petunias, verbenas, heliotrope
and the generality of bedding plants
during February and March strong
plants can be raised for bedding out
in May. Cuttings of begonias, fuschias,
ivies, tradescantias and other house
plants can now also be propagated, in
order to have vigorous young plants for
next winters adornment of the plant
stand. Such heat-loving bedding plants
as coleus, achryanthes and alderman
theras are scarcely in shape to afford
good cuttings until a month or six
weeks later. But as they grow rapidly
in heat, by deferring propagation until
about April plants strong enough for
summer bedding may still be raised.
\ good way for amateurs to get in
an excellent stock of geraniums and
other bedding plants is to purchase

How to Mend Your Gloves.

Mend your gloves with fine cotton
thread instead of silk. The silk is apt
to cut the kid. In mending gloves turn
them inside out and sew them over and
over. If there is a tear in the glove set
a piece of kid under it and secure it
with few stitches.
