thought that the way he twinkled his
nose in bunny fashion was quite inter
esting. He persuaded me to indulge in
champagne several times, and / even
took his arm to the supper room. There
he was devotion itself and compliment
ed me in the most approved style. After
staying some time in the supper room
I proposed we should go and hear the
music, but he had evidently had too
much champagne or something else to
be reasonable, and so, to be consistent,
could but follow him wheresoever he
led. We at last found ourselves in the
conservatory and were seated behind
clump of palms when his conversation.

he, seeing the change in my manner,
doubtless considered me serious and be-
came more elusive in his remarks and
manifestations of love.

Professor Drummond tells the story
of little girl who once said to her ia
Their: Papa, l want you to say some
thing to God for me, something want
to toll him very much. have such a
little voice that don't think he could
hear it way up in heaven, but you have
great big mans voice. and he will be
sure to hear you. =" The father took his
little girl in his arms and told her that,
even though God were at that moment
surrounded by all his holy angels,
sounding on their golden harps and sing
ing to him one of the grandest and
sweetest songs Of praise ever was heard
in heaven. he was sure that he would
say to them: Hush Stop the singing
for little while. There's little girl

whisper something in my ear. Ram IS

Slavery survived in England much
later than is generally supposed. The

still means a female farm servant. The

1875. e they deserted their service, any

A Keen Eyed Engineer.

An old engineer was getting his
sight tested by doctor who lived in
house facing large park. The doctor
used TO say TO his patients, "Look over
there and tell me what you can see. I"
When the engineer learned that his
sight was to he tested, be had arranged
with his son TO take his bicycle half a
mile into the park and be oiling it. In
due time the old man was led to the
window, the doctor saying, as usual:
"What do you see?"
The old man, peering out, said, 81

"Do your" said the doctor. 81 don't

The doctor took up pair of field
glasses and plainly saw the same.
Magnificent sight! |" he said.

wages. -Elrnira Telegram.

A Few Plain Instructions For Producing
New Varieties.


1T wonder" flower lover said the 9TH
or day, THAT many OF the women who
have timo and not much to do with IL do
not go In for the development Of new
roses. No, the field is not one that prom.
Uses swift and certain return. That Is
the very reason IL should appeal TO those
In mood of hobby. New roses come To
pass, you know, in just two ways-they
are either seedlings or sports. A sport, I'M
derstand, Is branch of growing rose
that Is not content to blossom after the
way OF its parent stem. 1t has different
form, or color, or habit Of growth-some-
times all three-in which case IL is trebly
valuable. How IL comes To be a sport tho
wise men are not agreed. Some say IL Is
through inherent tendency to variation;
others declare that 1t Is due to environ
ment-soil, temperature, light, exposure
and fertilizers. myself think both causes
are operative to a degree, but believe fur
Their that the potential use of IL is ono of
natures secrets as yet unsurpassed. very
famous sport is the pink rose Bridesmaid,
which developed from the yet more famous
white rose Bride. AS roses are propagated
from cuttings, sport once well establish
cd usually comes true to name. Very
many valuable ones are, doubt not, lost
every year through the failure of private
growers all over the country TO recognize
and fix them.
But seedlings-now there Is a chance
for skill. and hope, and paticnce-in fact. a
large segment of the Christian virtues To
begin, you must raise tho seed and choose
the species that shall be parents of your
new plant with care. They must be stocky,
healthy plants too, and not allowed TO
overblossom-in fact, two or at most three,
Towers are enough. Cross fertilization is
made possible by the fact that the anthers
OF the stamens open earlier than do the
pores of the ovaries. From the flower
which Is to be fertilized the stamens are
clipped off as soon as they develop. Then
a few hours later pollen is gathered from
the antheTs of the other flower and with a
fine camel's hair pencil laid upon the pis-
til of the first one Then the whole trans
action Is recorded-date, names of parent
sorts and tho fortified flower carefully
watched. If the calix swells and after
awhileripens into seed, the operation has
been success. Thus when the seeds are
ripe they are sowed and the resultant
plants carefully nursed till they reach the
stage Of blossoms. There the beautiful I'M
certainty makes itself manifest Two mag
nillcent varieties have been known to
come from IL batch of dozen seed, and
again 10000 have not given a new sort
worth name. Indeed, experienced grow
ers say that ono success in 10000 sowings
Is about the average. They say also that
very many flowers perfect from the grow
er's point of view have mover boon heard
of outside of greenhouses because, for some
occult and IA wholly iEexplicable reason,
fashion would have none OF them.-New

Professor Felix Adler In recent lecture
on Marriage. Its Pcrils and Its Safe

marriage relation and that they should

IL Was TrOwn Overheard From ,
Boat Last summer-Other Por-
tage Lake News.

Capt. j. V. Tuttle, who last year res
cued some OF the copper thrown over

Isle Royale, is now at Duluth ready to
go with an expedition az soon az navi-
CATION is open. The copper lies in from
IL TO Is ieet Of water on a fiat rock bot
tom, and can be easily recovered; in fact
about $50 tons were taken out last fall
and now lies on the dock at Port Arthur.
The remaining 400 tons can be taken
out in few days, II the lake is calm.
The wrecking party must have calm
weather, as the copper lies seven miles
out into the lake. AS the copper is
worth 5000 a ton, it is quite tempta-
ton to thieve, and Capt. Tuttle last year
captured dozen such in one party and
had them convicted.
Alter this episode the captain hired
two men TO act as watchmen, had them
appointed deputy marshals, armed them
with rifles and good supply OF ammu-
milton and camped them on the island,
where they could watch his buried treas
ure. There they have been all winter,
and dreary job it must have been.
Their nearest neigLbors, and in fact the
only other people on the island, are two
men and women, who are engaged in
watching a copper mineiour miles away,
across the island. Capt. Tuttle says the
island is one of the dreariest places on
earth in the winter, but in the summer
season it il a fisherman's paradise. The
expedition is all ready to proceed to the
island from Duluth on the arrival OF
Capt. futile. 1t will start just as soon
as the coasting steamer returns and re-
ports that the harbor is clear OF ice.
Capt. Tuttle will remain with the copper
until it is delivered at Lake Erie ports
and transferred to the railroad COM
