The noble and extensive work which
the Womens Christian Temperance
Union of Augusta. is doing among the
poor in families which are suffering from
the curse of drink, as well as those who
are unfortunate for other reasons. is
known to but few.
There is an efficient, superintendent Of
this department. but the union considers
hself "a committee of the whole" to car
ry on this work in every section of our
city. In the heat Of summer and the cold
OF winter, the unfortunate ones need
clothing of different texture. Whole fam
lilies are supplied with underwear. as well
as other garments to nelp them thro' our
long. cold. winters.
Several old gentlemen have been provid-
ed with fiannels and Overcoats for years,
through the kindness of our union.
Between twenty-five and thirty children
are provided with good, warm clothing.
and in this way are kept in the public
and Sunday-schools, and have been for
several years.
and given when needed. but more often
garments. ready made. and which have
seen some service, are donated by men,
bers and friends and distributed among
all classes.
One of the workers was heard to say
not long ago that "she never feels so rich
as when she has bundle of old clothes
given to her With these garments she
knows very well she can make sad
hearts glad. and cold. suffering bodies
warm and comfortable.
Between twelve and fifteen hundred
garments have been distributed since
May last. which is the time of our annual
meeting, and from which time all our re-
ports date. At Christmas many gifts of
toys and candy were given TO children,
who would otherwise had a dreary. gift
less Christmas. Coal and provisions have
been supplied in homes, where very much
needed.
The good which is being done by the W.
c. 7. L. in this department alone. is in
estimable. If we expected or desired "A
reward for our work. we should feel moe
than paid for our efforts, by the express
sions of joy and -thankfulness and the
God bless you which We so often hear.
Our workers often help cut over the
garments and assist the wife and mother
with the sewing. giving her new ideas
which prove lasting blessing.
No one but the All-seeing One can ever
know how many homes are blessed, how
many men. women and children are being
clothed, and how many hearts are en-
couraged and cheered to new duties and
cares. to take up the burden of life and
bear it nobly, and all through the ef-
forts of that noble band of women who
wear the white ribbon, and are constant
ly working for the Master.

Care Of Asparagus Plants.


When the cutting Of asparagus is dis
continued, an American Gardening cor
respondent recommends to encourage
growth by giving plenty Of cultivation
and protect the plants from insect at
tacks by busting with lime or plaster
with little paris green mixed with It.
If the plants are encouraged to make
healthy, strong growths now, they will
pay for 1t next year with heavy cut
ting Of thick succulent shoots. Where
the ground Is not rich it should be
given dressing Of bone dust or a few
good waterings with liquid manure, as
the asparagus is gross feeder. Should
there be any blanks in the beds mark
them with sticks with a view Of filing
them with plants next spring.

crop can be allowed. to stand a week or

The last cutting will not be so hard
to cure as the first. In regard to the
