FIants for Shady Places.

The greatest trouble in getting
things to grow under trees is the roots
of the trees. If these run all through
the ground and take all the nutriment
and the moisture there is little hope
of getting much growth on plants I'M
der the trees. But it is not always the
case that the roots do so effectually
use all the soil. If pains are taken to
make up rich beds in the spring in such
places there are plants that will do well
there. Dig the beds deep and work in
plenty of old decayed manure from the
stable or the COW yard. Select for the
beds those spots that receive as much
sun as possible and that are farthest
removed from the trees. Petunias will
do finely in such shade, and so will fuch-
sias and tuberous begonias. Try also
adonis, the annual chrysthemums,
godetia, mimulus. nemophila. pansy,
clarkia and whitlavia. You may also
find the polyantha roses to succeed.
1t is hardly necessary to say that the
native ferns could be made to thrive in
such grounds.-Vick's Magazine for
ADriI

Mr. Harry p. Dill OF Phillips, who
has been reappointed to the consular
service in Canada by President Me
Kinley, has served for a portion of the
time under every administration since
Grants, being retired by each Demo-
cratic regime and reappointed by the
Republicans. He was first appointed to
, Fort Erie, Ont. by President Hayes,
and since then has served at Sorsl,
Que, and Guelph Lindsay and Pal
merston. Ont. The place to which he
is now appointed. Port Hope. is town
of some 5000 inhabitants, situated on
the shore of Lake ontario, So miles east
of Toronto. on the main line of the
Grand Trunk. A line of steamers con-
meets Port Hope with Charlotte, the
port of Rochester n. Y. Its prin-
cipal shipments are lumber, pease and
barley. Mr. Din is a graduate of West
brook seminary, class of SO. Two years
ago he established the Rangeley Lakes,

Chief Engineer Moses Burpee of the
Bangor & Aroostook Railroad is deeply
interested liz the welfare of the Garden
of Maine and says that the outlook for a
great future business in various lines IN
Aroostook county is brighter every day
The railroad sleeper industry which has
been very large in the past promises to
be greater than ever. Many railroads
are beginning to use cedar ties with Steel
plates. Last winter the Boston & Maine
Railroad had 900 carload of ties from
Aroostook county and If ii is found that
these ties answer every purpose, il is eX-
pected that an order for 1000 carloads Will
be received from the Boston Il Albany
, Railroad. Mr.. Burpee thinks that if the
new railroad is built into the Restigouchc
region the Bangor & Aroosiook Railroad
will get an immense amount of business
from that country. The cedar ties used
with the steel plates will last three times
as long as any other tie. The plates cost
from to - cents and it takes 5000 to
COCO to the mile. The Is. & 4. used quite
Il number of the plates on the curves of
the Ashland branch. and they have
worked admirably. Mr., Burpee says the
b. & A. road bed was never in better
condition than it is this year There
were no washouts of any Importance
this spring along the line and the frost
left the road in fine condition.

A Report on Antitoxin.

Holt and Samuel S. Adams) is worthy OF
close study.
Laryngeal diphtheria requiring opera
tive interference furnishes the best test
of the methods of treatment There Is
entire harmony of opinion as to its sever
itY. and its statistics before and after
ne advent Of the antitoXin are more re
liable than those of most other well-ob-
served diseases The report contains an
analysis of 66S cases operated upon. With
4 mortality of 27.24 per cent. As the re
port mentions. early statistics of intuba-
ton, in pre-anttoXin days, could show
only q per cent recovery. Other factors
remaining constant, the use of antitoxin
has carried the percentage from p per
cent recovery up over the divide TIL ii
now reads q per cent mortality.
The next point of Importance is the per-
centage of cases escaping operation I'M
der antitoxin treatment. 1t was former
iy believed that 80 per cent of laryngeal
cases required operation; now, with the
use of antitoxin. 80 per cent require it.
The returns from physicians show. for
the most part, an earlier use of antitoXin
in diphtheria treatment and an increaS-
ing confidence. There exists. however. a
certain amount of timidity. Doses from
one-tenth to one-fourth the amount re-
uuired have been administered in some
cases 200, 400 and 500 antitoxin units be
ing used whereas the dose required Is
from 2000 to $500.
IT is believed that the percentage of
mortality will gradually decrease. This
decrease will depend upon three factors

Second-The serum will be administered
earlier.
