HOW FUSION LITERATURE IS DIS
TRlBCTED.

A citizen, who says he is neither q
Democrat nor a Fusionist. sends us a
copy of the agricultural Bu'/etjn,
sent out by the Secretary Of A"ri-
culture, and copy of the CHucaSta7.
The labels on the two papers are the
same. even the numbers being identi-
cal Another copy Of the Bulletin
and another copy OF the Ca"casI"n
shows the same remarkable coincl-
dence The case is too plain to need
further explanation. The mailing
list of the Agricultural Bulletin. state
property, is being used to distribute
Fusion literature. Is the State also
paying the postage on these papers
that are being mailed by State
machinery? Are they not also being
mailed by clerks paid by the State to
work for the State? What do the
honest taxpayer of the State think
of being compelled to pay for the
distribution of Fusion literature?
This is more Fusion ''purity in poll
ties. ''-Ne,rS and ObSerrtr.

Examine the outdoor rosebuds occa-
sionally to see that the wind has not
removed the covering.
The plants stored for the winter in
the cellar have now been in some time.
Perhaps they need little water or 9th

Where plants are kept about the
windows, cold draughts from the sides

ed against during severe weather:
Frequent cleansing of the leaves of
foliage plants. by using tepid water
end spongue, lends to their attractive
ness and is essential to the health OF
the plants.
Just at this time, when work with
the flowers is very light, is good time
to consider what will be best to plant il
the garden in the spring. When the
proper time comes everything must b'
in readiness, so that no valuable tim'

To clean old flower pots on which

The American Monthly Review Of
Reviews for February renders an i'm
portant service to the cause Of interna-
tional arbitration by publishing an
article on the advance of the peace
movement throughout the world, from
the pen of the great French publicist,
Frederic Passy, president of the So
clety for Arbitration Between Nations.
This article notes many encouraging
signs of progress in the agitation for
arbitration now going on among even
the most military nations of the Old
World.
DR.. Nansen discusses in the Febru-
ary MoClure's the future of exploration
in the direction of North Pole. His
conclusion is that the pole can be reach.
ed without too great difficulties, either
by ship drifting with the ice across
the Polar sea, or by help Of dogs and
sledges from the Greenland side. He
enforces this conclusion with recitals
from his own experience in getting 1876
miles nearer the Pole than any other
man has got Except Johansen, who 40
companied Nansen) and the article is
as interesting as it is valuable. 1t is
illustrated with numerous pictures of
people and scenes of the Far North
drawn or photographed from life, some
of them by DIR. Nansen himself.
The very readable series of papers
which Edward Everett Hale is writing
for The Outlook continues to grow in
interest. That printed in the February
Magazine Number deals with Lowells
life and friendships in college, and con-
tains some examples of his poetic work
when he was one of the editors oi
"Harvardiona." J." DR., Hale in this in
stallment tells the true story Of Lowslls
suspenaion from college just before
graduation, about which for many
years absurd and absolutely unfouAded
stories have been circulated. The true
cause of the suspension was simply and
solely young Lowell's lack of regulari.
ty in the attendance upon the college
chapel exercises. $3aye The Ont

Christians to the obligation of imme
diate financial cooperation with tn
