It was long ago the rule in Euro

able for the ripening Of grapes, says
American Cultivator. The heat re-
quired for the grape crop developed a
mildew. which destroyed the leaves Of
gooseberries and prevented the fruit
from perfecting. Thus England grew
the gooseberry. while France, Italy
and Spain ripened crops Of grapes.
The American difficulty in growing
gooseberries comes from our hot, dry
summers. which are just what are
needed for the vine. We have had va.
rious new varieties of gooseberries
claimed to be mildew proof. but we
have little faith that any will prove
entirely so when conditions favor mill
dew. This, however, does not matter
SO much, since the Bordeaux mixture.
which has proved SO good remedy for
mildew on the grape, is equally good
to protect the gooseberry plant from
the same enemy.

extends to the homespun work of the
cottages. For the latter there has lately
grown up strong demand among the
weather. classes, of Great Britain and
other lands, who find satisfaction in
using handmade instead of factory
made linens. The greater durability Of
the former is said to give the new fash
ion an economical as we'll as a senti-
mental basis; and yet there is behind
it something of the same feeling which
makes one prefer an oil painting over
a 'chromo.' bit of real carving over the
moulded decorations so common in our
homes. Another compensatory feature
of the Irish situation is the showing just
made that the deposits in the postal
savings banks of that country during
the past year are $500, 900 in excess of
those for the year preceding. During
the past ten years the aggregate of such
deposits has doubled. There are other
features in the situation which indicate
that increasing thrift, stimulated by
better laws, is rapidly lifting the people
of Ireland to a higher social and eco
nomic level. and that the day is past
when shortage in the potato crop can
plunge the whole island into misery.

TWO DOLLARS A YEAR

After mature elaboration the pub
fishers have determined to raise the sub
scription price of the IRISH STAN
DAliD to 81 per annum on and after the
first day of October. 1897. In Il frank
and straightforward manner they will
give their reasons for reaching this
conclusion. When the IRISH STAN
DARD was started in 1885 the subscrip-
ton price WAS 50 per year. and it was
kept at that figure for some time after.
though it was only half the size of the
present issue. Since the price was vol
UNFAIRLY reduced the publishers have en-
dcavored to give to the people OF tho
Northwest a first-class journal. equal in
size and quality to the best in the land;
but they have learned from experience
that it is an utter impossibilty for them
to continue it's publication any longer
at the present subscription price.
The business depression of the past
five years has greatly reduced the ad-
vertising patronage of the weekly
press In the large cities. The depart
mcnt stores and other concerns ndver-
tisc almost exclusively in the daily pa
pers, so that the weekly papers depend
almost entirely on the receipts of their
subscription lists to make the two ends
meet.
In making this change from $l5O to
$500 the publishers of the IRISH
STANDARD are not acting hastily They
find it an imperative necessity to do it
in order to continue their work. They
are reluctantly forced to do what other
publishers Of similar papers have al
ready done during the past year for
self-prcservation.

He recommends that the only practical
way to give relief is to provide useful
works which would be q permanent ben

be done with due thought and considera

If and his men halted them just oppo-
site my house, and then there was a
parley. The strikers made no attempt
to harm anybody, so far as could see.
They crowded around the sheriff and
seemed to be arguing with him, that
was all. After awhile he took out pa
per and the strikers grew excited, but
they did not offer violence. The ex-
PLANTATION of the survivors that they did
not understand English, and that they
believed Martin had warrant for their
arrest seems to fit the case exactly. The
next thing knew there was shot and
then fusillade. and the men who did

We take the quoted words from the

torially: Truly Martin is fine crea-

Others. Bear in mind that neither he
nor his men had been subjected to as
sault; that the strikers were unarmed :;
that they were on the public highway;
that they were pelted with deadly mis-
siles while seeking refuge in flight Could
anything be more crazy or criminal than
this act; anything more brainless than
the excuse?"
