old gentleman took the first oppor-
tunity, as coon as the doctors back
was turned. of sitting up late to write
a Latin ode. and then afterward re-
ceived high church dignity in audi
ence. DR.. Lapponi is evidently not
made of the same metal as Schwening-
er, who was Bismarck's doctor.
Schweninger realized on the day of his
appointment that he had got a very
unruly charge. His services were call
ed into reGuisition, and after an ex-
animation he forbade his patient TO
partake of a very favorite dish. All
the same, Bismarck had the forbidden
fruit brought to him, and was doubly
enjoying it when DR.. Schweninger en-
tered the room, took hold of the dish
and hurled 1t out of the window. The
man of blood and iron gasped-apd
then discreetly surrendered. He nd
met his match.
Mr.. Gladstone had many doctors,
and, except the last, outlived them all.
The most famous was Sir Andrew
Clark, who was held in high est.-
nation by the G. o. NJ. But he had
more than handful in the statesman.
On one occasion Mr. Gladstone prom
ised to speak only a half hour, and
the doctor sat by, watch in hand, to
time. When the half hour was up the
G. o. NJ. threw away the last of his
notes, and Sir Andrew replaced his
watch with a satisfied air. But Mr..
Gladstone was so absorbed that he
went on for thirty minutes longer be-
fore stopping.

Red Seas to the commerce of the
world by stopping navigation at Gi-
braltar and Alden.
The policy which governs the Brit
ish government in the Mediterranean
and Red Seas has prevailed elsewhere
and any one who is curious to observe
to what extent the British govern
cent controls maritime affairs by the
possession of strategic points and is
lands can enlighten himself by CLAN
cling over a map of the world. when he
will find that the earth is girded by
lines of British fortresses. which
have been established in the last CEN
tury and half. Great Britain is thus
the policeman of the ocean, all seas
being patroled by ironclads displaying
the union jack.
Up to this time, however, the val
liable English dependencies which lie
along the North American coast of
the Pacific have received comparative
ly little attention. Now it appears
that the British government has be-
come thoroughly aroused to the i'm
portance of its great Pacific colony
and means to establish at Esquimault
n naval station of the first class, which
will be the rendezvous for the Pacific
fleet. Esquimault has been but re-
Gently selected as a suitable point and
consequently its name is to most
readers rather unfamiliar. 1t Is sit
uated on a beautiful and commodious
bay, three miles to the west of the
city of Victoria, on the island of Van
couver. 1t is thus in an important
sense the fortress which will protect
the capital of British Columbia from
foreign attack. 1t is said that at first
the propriety of establishing a station
at Victoria was suggested, but the
close proximity of a fine bay and har-
Dor led to the selection OF Esquimault
rather than of the capital as the prop
er site. Esquimault will defend not
only the capital of British Columbia,
but also, among others, the important
city of Vancouver on the mainland
and the western terminus of the Ca
madam Pacific railroad.
At present Esquimault is a station
in embryo. Extensive docks have
been built and fortifications begun,
but the town now consists for the
most part OF the houses OF employees
and workmen. The extent of the gov
ernments preparations, however, in
dicates work of the most extensive
character. and in the next two or three
years EsQuimault will become the site
of great workshops and foundries,
where shipbuilding will be carried on,

repairs effected and all provision made
of the fleet which England at all times
maintains in the North Pacific.
The interests to be safeguarded by
Esquimault and the great guns now
on their way across the continent are
already enormous and will become
much larger during the next few
years. To begin with, there is the
transcontinental trade, which at all
times in the year, even during the
winter season, is very important
matter The Canadian Pacific was
built for the sole behoof and accom-
mediation of the British colonies, and
its western terminus must be perfect
ly secure against attack, otherwise the
railroad becomes of little value. Dur
ing the last few years it has become
clear that there is a great future be-
fore British Columbia. A couple of
decades ago the entire region was
supposed to be practically uninhabita-
BILE by whites on account of the Sc
verify of the climate, but experience
has shown that the mild winds of the

siderable distance inland, and that in
a latitude where. on the east coast,
winter has almost perpetual reign,
the crops of more temperate regions
can be grown in British Columbia. In
fact, the climate does not differ ma
terially from that of the states of
Oregon and Washington and the abun-
dance of rich lands which can with la

will unquestionably tempt from the
British Isles emigrants, who other
wise might have come to the United
States.

The recent shipment over the Cana
dian Pacific OF many heavy guns and
much war material to the new naval
station at Esquimault indicates the
intention of the British government
to erect, at the gateway of British
Columbia, Pacific Gibraltar which
will render the British possessions in
this quarter of the world absolutely
secure against aggression by any other
nation.
The policy of Great Britain ever
since 1t became a naval power has
been to seize strategic points and forti-
fy them SO strongly as to render them
invulnerable, and thus, by their pos
session, control immense stretches of
sea and large land territories which
could not be held in any other way
save by a great outlay. This policy
is illustrated in the Mediterranean, for
instance, by simple statement. At
the western extremity of this great
inland ocean England holds Gibraltar
which has long borne the reputation
of being the strongest fortress in the
world. In the center there is Malta,
which is scarcely inferior to Gibraltar
in the effectiveness of its fortifica-
tions. At the eastern extremity there
is Cyprus, which has not yet been full
ly fortified, but no doubt, in pursu-
ance OF the British policy, will be dur
ing the next few years. There are no
fortifications on the Suez canal but
the majority of the company stock is
owned by Great Britain. Egypt has
virtually become a British province,
and there is not the slightest doubt
that should there be a prospect of
serious trouble with any foreign ma
tion involving the Egyptian and east
ern interests OF Great Britain the ca
nal would be seized. and, il necessary.
fortified and defended by English
guns. At present there is no need of
such action, for, although Suez and
Port Said are not defended. England
holds at the southern extremity of
the Red Sea the great fortress of Alden
and the island OF Perrin. and could in
stantly close the Mediterranean and

The Care of Plants.

The Care of Plants.
At the last annual convention of the
Horticultural Society of Northern Il
linois some discussion took place in re-
gard to plants for the house and gar
den and their care, as follows:
MILDEw.
Mr.. Hoxie-What do you do with
mildew on your plants in the fall Of
the year?
Mr.. Parkin of Galva-I am not very
much troubled with that and have not
been. There are remedies to forestall
it, think.
Mr.. Hoxie-You find it on chrysan-
themums?
Mr.. Parkin-I think If plants are
kept in a good healthy condition that
won't come. Some kinds of chrysan-
themums are much more liable to it
than others. Some never seem to be
affected at all.
Q.-In that case you would not use
water?
Mr. Parkin-Plenty of fresh water
will not produce mildew. 1t is stag
nant air that produces it. A cool tenn
perature produces it more than a warm
one
Mr. Hartwell-Do plants breathe the
same as We do?
Mr. Parkin-Yes.

Mr.. Hoxie-Do you give your cannas
water in winter? Do you keep the
bulbs moist?
Mr.. Parkin-No, sir; dry. l think
some kinds require different kind OF
treatment, as Madame Crozy. l keep
that under the benches in the green
house on the ground. but 1 don't water
them.
Mr.. Hoxie-You would not break
them to pieces until spring?
Mr. Parkin-No, sir.
Mr.. Hoxie-What time do you start
them?
Mr.. Parkin-Early enough SO you
can put them out when the weather
gets warm good corn-growing
weather.
Mr.. Hoxie-How do you start them!
How should the farmer start them?
Mr.. Parkin-In the kitchen. AS fine
plants as / have ever seen have been
started lust in the kitchen.
Mr. Ingells-Can you not start the
bulbs out in the bed?
Mr.. Parkin-You can.
Mr.. Ingells-Do they bloom quite as
we'll?
Mr.. parkin-of course. only not quite
so early.
Mr.. Hoxie-I have often wondered
why it is that so many ladies', when
they read paper on house plants. talk
so much about leaf mould for their
plants. In my experience in growing
plants and flowers 1 have found that
a soil made up is better than leaf
mould. / think that good, rich gar
den soil and well rotted manure and
sand will give all the plant food you
want. A good many recommend put
ting broken pieces of pots in the bot
tom Of your flower pots. 1t always
seemed to me that was fallacious.
