The man whom Emma C. SpreckIes,
daughter Of the muito-mi1 oaaire, mar
ried, ought TO feel that he is appreciat-
ed ought to experience a delightful
thrill over the unique and graceful
compliments that his consort is con-
tinuaIly paying to his worth: ought
to be preuder than king. sugar
king, over the cumulative evidence OF
his compauion's devotion. says the De-
troit Free Press Miss Spreckles Of
Tended her wealthy sire when she be-
came Mrs Watson. The relation be-
tween daughter and father became SO
strained that the bride had to choose
between earthly possessions and loyal
ty to her husband Like the worthy
young woman in the poems and story
books she clung to her none too opu-
lent liege lord. and soon after her mar
riage began returning to Father Spree
kles little souvenirs OF his regard in
the past, such as million and a half
in bonds, and other tokens of an af-
lection at present slightly shattered.
Now she has decided back to her fa-
ther fine mansion and sundry build
ing lots in Honolulu. and the only
property she retains is the building
bearing her maiden and Christian
name on Market street, opposite Ma
son street, San Francisco. If Watson
wears as well as he has up TO date,
*hey may go back, too, In time.

McCoy-Creedon Match.

New York. Aug. u.-W. A. Brady re-
ceived a telegram from Kid Mccoy at
Cincinnati saying that the conditions
OF the proposed fight between him and
Dan Creedon were entirely satisfactory
and that he would sign the articles of
agreement as soon as received Colonel
Hopkins was notified and seemed great
1y pleased at the prospect. This makes
the go a certainty" said Brady. .and
I am sure that it will draw a great
crowd 1t is one of the best pugilistic
attractions that could possibly be pro-
cured, and it will be an important fea-
ture OF my boxing carnival to be held

At this season when all the crops
are coming in the individual who
plants is judged as 10 his competency.
If he has followed the directions Civ
en- in these columns, fresh peas, cauli-
flowers, celery and other vegetables
should be had uninterruptedly. We
frequently notice in many gardens
that crops are coming in together; for
Instance, great abundance of peas
may be picked one week, none the
next, and during this interval possibly
there is a large party to be entertain
ed, and plenty of fresh vegetables are
called for and expected, but things
are on crop" This is not as it should
be and is evidence of mismanagement
and want of foresight at planting time.
1t is much more satisfactory to all
concerned to be able to gather. through
the season, fresh vegeta bles in just sur
ficient quantities to go around. These
matters are very easily adjusted by a
little study at planting time, and the
faculty for this should be constantly
exercised and cultivated. for without
it success is impossible to attain in
any Of the many garden operations.

The Dominion Government pro-
poses to at once introduce measure
in Parliament to prohibit the importa-
ton from the United States of trees
and shrubs and cerain classes Of fruits
1t is asserted that the introduction OF
the serious pest. San Jose scale, is the
result of such importations from the
United States. A convention of the
horticultural societies was held at
Hamilton recently to urge the necessity
of taking legislative action to prevent
the spread of the San Jose scale
among the fruit orchards.
If the proposed legislation is enacted
nursery trees from the United States
will be excluded from Canada; and, az
the scale also affects fruit. the Fruit
growers demand that the importation
from infected States of fruit shall also
be prohibited

THE suBLIMiTy OF LOVE,

Far in the fullness of His good time,
Task of the race fulfilled,
Men will hold nothing but love sublime,
Living as He has wiIled.
Scoff. If you please, in your pigmy pride,

Princes shall dwell at the pauper's side
When death comes into his own.
Death is the agent Of God on high,
