sand and pulling them out by the
stem. Re-pot in rich loan and shade
for short time.
Cuttings should always be of we'll
ripened wood, two or three inches in
length, and severed just below a
leaf-joint. Break them from the par
ent stem instead of cutting, when
possible, as the ragged edges take
root much better.
Begonia Rex may be propagated by
weighting a leaf so that the under
side will lay flat on the moist sand.
The leaf will soon take root and can
then be divided, forming number of
young plants.
Hollyhocks may be propagated by
making cuttings of the young stalks
in early summer, cutting them in
half-foot lengths, and inserting these
to half their length in sandy soil in
a sash-covered frame. The glass of
the frame should be shaded lightly,
ana air be admitted TO the cuttings
daily. Sprinkle them daily from the
start. After they are rooted and have
a half dozen leaves, they should be
set out where they are to bloom.
Moss rose slips may be rooted by
planting deep in a shady place on the
north side of the house or of some
large plant. Press the soil firmly
around the cuttings, water thorough
ly at first, carefully afterwards, and
mulch with small evergreen twigs or
leaves.
Hibiscus Rosea Sinensis, and varie-
ties, root readily from cuttings of the
half-ripened wood.-Ex.

Flowers Made of Bread.

The latest method of marking arti-
fetal flowers is from fresh bakers
bread. The materials required are
wire, bread, coloring matter and
knowledge of the process, now famil-
lar to only a few persons. The fac
tory, the only one at present, is in the
West End of London, and employs
about 100 expert hands. According
to well-known importer of artificial
flowers, this novel method is likely to
supersede all others so far as flowers
to be worn on the corsage are con-
cerned. Not only do these bread flow
ers look exactly like the real article
when freshly made, but as the bread
grows stale the flowers assume a
slightly withered appearance, which
is almost Identical with that of a nat
ural flower beginning to fade. Of
becomes very marked, being just suf-
fcient to overcome the unnaturally
bright and fresh appearance which is
so Objectionable in the ordinary arti-
fetal flower after being in the heated
atmosphere of ballroom for several
hours. The fading power of bread
flowers practically insures them
against detection, even by the eyes of
an expert.
The roses range in price from SIS
to So per dozen, and chrysanthemums
from $12 to SIS. Violets, hyacinths and
other small flowers come several dol
lars cheaper.-Good Housekeeping.

fectly hardy without the least pro-
lection.
The eulalia needs some protection
in cold climates. This plant produces
late in the season magnificent white
plumes, while the leaves are long and
marked crosswise with yellowish
stripes.
The hydrangea produces large
white flowers tinted with pink in
great profusion, and is wonderfully
snowy plant when arrayed with it's
magnificent flowers.
One of the great points in favor of
the flowers of these two plants is the
fact that they can be cut when dry
or cured and used for house or hall
decoration.
The flowers of the hydrangea be-
come paper-like, while the plumes of
the eulalia are fluffy and fountain
like; clustered in vases they present a
very odd and attractive appearance.
[ think these plants are doubly val
liable for the reason that their blooms
may be enjoyed not only in season
but all winter. They have big names,
it is true, but we believe that they are
as big in merit as their names are in
words.

Shell Flowers and Fairy Lilies.

There is one fancy Towering sum-
mer bulb that is not grown as much
as it should be-the Tigridia or Shell
Flower. They are beautiful, of no
trouble whatever, and should be in
every garden. The long slender
leaves are very much like those of
the Gladiolus. I usually plant them
in the open ground in May. Probably
the showiest of all the Tigridias is
Conchifora, which is yellow spotted
with crimson, then crimson spotted
with yellow, or brown markings.
They are very snowy in the beds, but
are not very useful for cut-fowers, as
they close up about four o'clock in
the evening.
The Fairy Lilies are very pretty, in
expensive, and require very little
room. When grown around the edge
of Oleander tubs, they are very pref
ty, hiding the unsightly space, and
taking very little of the nutriment
from the soil.-Mayfower

The Sweet Pea.


Rev. w. T. Hutchins, of Indian Or
chard, in his paper on sweet peas
read before the Massachusetts horti-
cultural society last week, said that
those who failed last year had plenty
of good company. The causes of fail
ure prevailed from one end of the
country to the other. The speaker
bent all his energy to escaping the
blight, and succeeded only in seeing
his vines go up ten feet, blossoming
in a scattering way after they were
five feet high. There were two main
causes, the first being that we had no
frost to check rapid start, and this
was followed by an excess of rain
during the growing season. One of
the worst vices ofthe sweet pea is a
tendency to rank vine and no bloom.
Last year we had exactly the condi-
tions to produce that. Make a plant
work, if you want to increase the
bloom. The root is the part of the
plant that works, and the sitter the
soil the more wholesome exercise it
gets. The sweet pea should not have
a soft bed beneath it as it induces a
less hardy growth, INDUCES the root
and weakens it for it's after-work. It
favors top growth beyond the pow
err of the root to support. 1t stimu-
lates growth at the expense of bloom.
Plant your seed as early as possible.
If the sweet pea gave us no other
pleasure, it bids us hail with delight
that first premature spring day, after
the frost is out of the warmest part
of our garden, for that is the foreor-
dained time to plant the seed. Plant
the seed literally enough to allow for
various losses. Plant in double rows
at the rate of one ounce to ten feet.
Use more than that if it is cheap
mixed seed. After all losses the plants
should not stand nearer than three
inches apart. The fall is a grand time
for making a piece of ground very
unpleasant for cutworms or their
eggs. A pail of bran with a table
spoonful of Paris green stirred in,
sweetened a little, and sown on the
surface or lightly hoed in in the
spring is a simple remedy. Diverting
the worms by planting something of
no value for them to feed on helps.
Go out in the morning and kill them
before breakfast.
The last two seasons have brought
another pest, a sort of louise. 1t colo
nizes on the under side of the foliage,
near the base of the vine, and causes
whitish translucent spots on the
leaves. Go at it vigorously with to-
bacco tea or force of water from the
hose. The balance of the rules for
culture are to bush Or trellis strongly,
and give the vines room to ramble.
Water freely after the blooming pc
Rod comes, but not too much before.
Run the rows north and south to give
them both morning and afternoon
sun on both sides.-Ex.

The MISSISSIPPI HEN.

In a Mississippi lowland.
Far from busy haunts Of men
On nest behind barnyard
Sat a Mississippi hen.
Hidden snugly in thic1Iet,
She had done her level best
To warm to life a lot of things
She had gathered in that nest.
Five round stones. piece Of corncobs
Broken doorknob, wooden stick,
One small lump of hardened putty
And 8 fragment of brick.
On all these for weeks she'd brooded,
In the sunshine and the rain,
And had warned of all intrudeTs
In a manner MT st profane.
With grim determination
She would ultimately hatch
From the aggregation something
Not a hen on earth could matchs =
But one day the mighty river
Burst its bounds. In terror then
Fled the jewellers in the lowlandss
AL absconded-save the hen. 80 -
Creeping swiftly came the waters,
Naught their onward course could halk.
Round the grim old hen they gathered.
She de11ed them with a squawk.
Dauntless henl She met the onset
With a scream of fierce delight,
Picked. and snaried, and swore, and scuf
fed,
Soreeched and scratched with all her
might.
Then the swiftly rushing torrent
Swept her, sQuawkinR, from her nest.
And in the darkened west the sun
Sank SO gloomily to rest.
But the river hasn't conquered.
Roasting in tree, that hen
High above her nest waits grimly
For the food to fall again,
When she'll simply take her station e
On those stones and sticks once more,
And will hatch out if it's possible
Such big department store.

that if annexation prevails the native
islanders become American citizens.
and as such will be free to come into
the United States and enter the labor
fields in dangerous competition With
white Americans. The charge is wound
up with the astonishing statement that
annexation means adding 100000 un-
desira BILE people to the working classes
of the Republic.
This is absurd The treaty expressly
provides against any of the Chinese or
Japanese in the islands coming to this
country AS for the native Hawaiians,
there are not 100000 workers among
them who could possibly compete with
white American workers. They are by
no means given to migration. On this
continent they do not thrive. Only in
their native atmosphere are they hap
py. They are not very strong COM
petitors in any field Of industry.
Against intelligent white labor they
never have been a menace, and never
will be. But above all, the Hawaiian
natives are rapidly disappearing. In
another generation there will be but
a handful of them. 1t is the destiny of
the race to become extinct.

RESTRICTING IMMIGRATION.

That a large representative labor or
ganization of San Francisco, having un-
der its jurisdiction a great number of
subordinate bodies, should at last de-
clare in favor Of closer and narrower
restriction of immigration is gratify
ing. 1t indicates that the industrial
world in these parts is at last awakening
to a realization of the danger to labor
that exists in the in-pouring of the un-
desirable classes; just what the Rec
rd-Union" has all along advised labor
was menace to it. No worthy and
desirable person who will add to our ma
terial strength and good citizenship
should be excluded. But we want no
more dependents; no more anarchists;
no more violent agitators; no more of
the semi-slavish class; no more of the
oepiorably ignorant; no more of those
who come to us for gain without laying
aside their loyalty to foreign princes
no more of any class that cannot be alb
sorbed into our communities and be-
come beneficial integral parts thereof
