Propngatlng the Rose.

The first matter for attention IL the
wood from which the cuttings are to
be made. It must neither be too hard
nor too soft. To be sure of getting It
at about the right stage, make up the
cuttings from the flower shoots or
stalks at the terminus of which the
flower is borne. just at the time the
flower naturally willis and the petals
fall. It is not necessary at all In
making the cuttings to have an eye,
or joint 1t might be called, at the end
of the cutting which enters the sand,
as is often supposed. Make the cut
tings about two and one-half inches
in length. using sharp knife, and in
cutting let the stroke be slightly slant
ing. The ends of the cutting should
be cut clean and smooth, and not mash
ed or bruised In any way. Let several
leaves remain on each cutting, but trim
of the tips Of the outer leaves. Now
procure saucer or pan of some sort
deep enough to hold about two inches
of sand. After putting 1t in the sand
to depth Of about two inches, water
heavily until 1t Is thoroughly soaked.
With a knife make several cuts one
and one-fourth inches deep across the
sand, and In these incisions insert the
cuttings, pinching the sand about the
base Of each cutting as II Is put in.
When the pan Is filled with the cut
tings about an inch apart. or perhaps
a little m e. set the pan In full sun
light, thei to remain every day during
the roofing process. The only opera
tion necessary each day while roofing
is to keep the sand thoroughly satur-
ated with water. Neglect this one day

recently at the largest Lutheran
church in this country, when, in the
presence of over two thousand mem
bers, the pastor and trustees destroyed
O cancelled mortgage of thirty thou
sand dollars upon the church property.
The document was torn into as many
pieces as there were officers, and at a
given signal each held his piece in the
flame Of candle till it was consumed,
the pastor exclaiming, $50 perish all
mortgages on Gods property" When
nothing but the ashes remained, the
people rose and with glad hearts sang
the Doxology. Doubtless few OF those
present remembered the historical pre-
cedent: In the year 1852 Henry III
with the Gospel in one hand and n
lighted taper in the other, swore to
observe the Magma Charta The arch
bishop and prelates and the king him
sslf dashed their candles on the
ground, while each dignitary closed
bis nostrils and his eyes against the
smoke and smell. with the words, 80
GO out with smoke and stencil, the ac-
cursed souls Of those who break or
pervert the Charter" to which all re-
piled, "Amen and Amen" but none
