Propagation of the Chrysanthemum.

Propagation of the Chrysanthemum.
The usual method of propagating
chrysanthe.nums is by means of cut
tings. Ii large plants are desired
they are started in January or Feb
ruary, but when large blooms are
wanted for exhibition purposes
the cuttings are often started as
late as May or June, and the plants
are grown to single stems and allowed
to develop but one flower. In order
to grow healthy plants that will give
large and fine flowers, strong and Wig
orous cuttings will be necessary, and
they will be best if taken from plants
that have not been forced. 1t is
good plan to select strong plants in
the spring and plant them out of doors
as early as it is safe. From these
stock plants cuttings can be taken that
will give good plants for single flowers.
In the fall, take up the old plants,
place in boxes, and keep until mid
winter in cold frame where they will
not freeze. Then take into the house
and large crop of excellent cuttings
can be obtained. The earlier ones
will be just the thing for pot plants
and for planting out as stock plants.
In April another crop of cuttings
should be taken. These will answer
for six-inch pot plants, and for either
single stems or ''sprays, ITO be planted
n the houses for cut flowers. Another
crop of cuttings can be taken in June,
but it will be better to take them from
plants set in the open ground, as rec
commended above. While most of the
cuttings for late blooms should be
struck about the 1st of June, the 1st
or even the 18th of July will not be
too late to secure good results if they
are properly handled. New England

The Right Remedy Will
Danish It Forever.

If you would forever be rid of
the aches and pains, and some
times the tortures produced by
Rheumatism, you must take the
right remedy. Those who con-
tinue to suffer are relying upon
remedies which do not reach their
trouble. The doctors treatment
always consists of potash and
mercury, which only intensity the
disease, causing the joints to stiff
en- and the bones to ache, besides
seriously impairing the digestive
organs.
Rheumatism is disordered state of
the blood, and the only cure for it is n
real blood remedy. Swift's Specific Is.
S. s. goes down to the very bottom Of
all diseases of the blood, and promptly
cures cases that other remedies can not
reach.
Mr.. E. K. S. Clinkenbeard a promi-
nent attorney of Mt. Sterling, Ky,
writes:
"Two years ago l was a great sufferer
from Rheumatism. I had tried every
remedy I could hear of except S. s. s.

GRENADA COLLEGE-TBE PRIDE OF
GRENADA.

DEAR SENTINEL:-I suppose ever!
one will admit that Grenada Colleg,
contributes more to Grenada and tht
surrounding country 10 a general way
than any other enterprise we have. I,
may not bring In as much money as the
oil mill or compress, but It's contribu.
tion is not limited to dimes and dollars,
but to the social, intellectual and NOR
al good Of all the people. Money can
not express the highest benefit an in.
stit"tion like our college brings to a
community.
We have no way Of computing the
general benefit this institution has
been to the young women Of this coun-
try. The presence Of a dozen strong.
minded, well-educated religious wo.
men in community confers an iucal-
culable good on a people, and when we
remember that these dozen women are
developing the mind and impressing
tho heart and life OF $50 girls, then we
begin to see something Of the great.
ness Of this college work.
Many a girl has learned to tread the
paths of knowledge here, and has gone
out to bless some hcme In this land,
thus contributing to the stability and
prosp perity of our country.
Now want to call the attention OF
the general public to the needs of the
college as they now exist. There are
20 girls boarding In the college, with
room for only few more. II we had
an additional building to accommodate
IS more girls, ! believe, from what Dr..
Malone and 9th ers have told me, that
that number would be secured BY the
opening of the spring term. This is
a Methodist institute. but 1t proposes
10 BE- broad in its work. Shall we have
The additional buildingp Where is
The money? Some say, let the Confer.
snce put up the needed building. But
he confere nee has no money, it is com.
posed Of preachers, and while they
nay be rich in grace, they are poor in
'Old. The conference might make an
of some amount for build |
ng purposes, but there is no promise
# immediate assistance, hence the only |
lopo for the present Is in the people OF |
'renada themselves.
I believe if the people Of Grenada
'ouId begin the enterprise, that friends
rom distance would rise up to help
=, and that would induce the Confer
uce 70 make an assessment for building
urpcses. !

The surgeon of great liner, who has
been ten Years in the north Atlantic trade,
said the other day that the modern big
ship has decreased seasickness tremendous
ly. Not per cent of the cabin passengers
on n first class twin screw are i'll during
even the toughest winter voyage. Bilge
keel and the great length Of the new liners
lessen to large degree their tendency to
roll and pitch. A passenger on a short,
slow going ship of 10 years ago, the sur
geon s,id needed a pretty good stomach to
stand the mighty shaking up he was sure
to get in winter storm.
There was 10 infallible remedy for sea-
sickness he said 1t could be relieved and
even prevented in persons who were not Of

ent temperament required different treat
ment. What was good for bilious pa
tent might not be good for one who was
not bilious. Acid and eflervescent drinks
were remedial, and bandage on the alb
domen also helped But the surgeon final
ly said the time was near when there
would be no seasickness, when the 800
