PLANTING OUT ROSES,
Direction for Cultlratlng the Queen Of All
Flowers.

In the cultivation of roses much
depends on the start. In the
first place procure the best plants
possible for the planting, not ne
cessarily the largest, the Oldest,
or the finest sorts at the highest
prices, but endeavor to obtain
such plants that are stocky, we'll
rooted. naturally strong growers
and such as by nature are apt to
be free from disease. A good
rule, however, would be to plant
as soon as all danger of frost is
over and the ground is warm.
Nothing is gained by putting out
plants while the ground is cold
and there is likelihood of frost or
very cold nights. Bridegroom
roses must necessarily be plant
ed out earlier than pot.grown
stock, as they do best when
planted in a dormant coalition.
They also may require some
pruning, if not already prunned
when set out by the nurseryman
or florist. First, spade up the
soil to depth of eighteen inches
or as the gardener would say,
1.-TWO spades Deep rather I'M
necessary, but it is quite essen
tial that the roots have plenty
of room in which to work. Sec
ond, remove from the bed one
third of the soil and replace it
with the same bulk of well'rotted
manure (well-rotted COW manure
| is unexcelled for this purposel,
in which has been incorporated
some finely chopped sod, Spade
this compost thoroughly into the
soil in the bed, and with the back
of the spade mash all clods and
Jumps. Bear in mind that this
spading and working OF the soil
must only be done when the soil
lis in good condition as regards
moisture, for if the soil is work.
ed when pasty or too wet, the
chances are that it will be ruined
for the whole season, until the
action of frost and winter wealth,
er imparts to it again its natural
[ friableness.
In setting out the roses in the
bed do not neglect the all import-
ant firming of the soil about the
base of the plants. This should
DE done by trodding the soil well
with the feet. Immediately about
the base of each plant, but not
over all the surface of the bed.

little children sob ard cry be-
!! cause Of the sad faces about
them.
But the little squad continued
its drilling upon the village green.
Many q lad was strong enough to
shoulder a gun-but, alas ! they
were only children yet.
There was a vacancy in the
corner Of the school house where
the shy, sensitive boy used 70 SIT
and shudder when war was hurl'
ed at him from every side Where
was he What had become OF
him Z
He had never shouldered a
wooden gun to win hollow plaud-
it's from the crowd; he had never
fred off his pop-gun war recita-
tious upon Friday afternoon to
win the clapping of hands. He
was too shy and sensitive to do
that.
He simply went away and en-
listed, and in the gallant charge
of his regiment at the first battle
in which it engaged he was in the
front line, steady and brave with
the fine courage of the true SOL
der.
And the little mother mourned
because he did not come back
again, because her hope and JOY
her only boy, had been cruelty
taken away from her by the grim
monster, war. Yet with her
sorrow was the mothers pride
because her darling had not prov
ed a coward when the dress par
rade upon the village green had
been forgotten in the awful hor-
rors OF the great conflict.

that the French government received last year

Testimony Of ComptrolIer Eckeis.

The improvement has come rapidly
and permeates all lines of industry. 1t
began with the agricultural class. The
farmers have large crops and are get
ting good prices for them. The cattle
raisers are benefited by a substantial in
crease in the price of cattle, and the
same is true with the sheep raisers. The
improvement in agricultural interests
has had its effect upon the railroads by
increasing their earnings 1t has put the
money into circulation and has enabled
people to discharge their debts and
thereby benefited the merchants. -

Oct 10, 1868, began the former Gu
ban revolution, which lasted ten years,
till 1878, and only ended when Spain
promised solemnly on the honor of a
blue blooded, high minded nation to
give home rule to the island. Every
part of that sacred promise Spain broke.
She heaped upon Cuba heavier taxes
than ever. Those who had been cheated
lived and remembered. They bided
their time. The more cruel and oppress-
i've Spanish exactions became the more
these patriots worked among their fell
low countrymen, silently, steadfastly,
for new revolution which should this
time free Cuba forever from the tyrant' s
rule. They agitated, they appealed to
all that lay nearest the hearts Of men
in their attempts to fan the slumbering
spark of patriotism into fame. At length
the hour for outbreak came, Feb. "a,
1895. Spain only ended the one Of 1868
by treachery. Now the Cubans know
her. She cannot deceive them again.
They have maintained themselves
against the whole power of the old
country three years They are better off
now than they were when they began
the fight. The hero Maceo laid down
his life-again by the base treachery of
a Spaniard-but others have taken his
place, and the revolution goes on.
