was followed by the Islamic occupa-
ton, which by the twelfth century had
firmly established itself in the very
heart of northern Africa. Then came
the maritime rise of Portugal and the
first visits of her adventurous seamen
to the shores of the mysterious Dark
Continent. At the end of the eighteenth
century Turkey had invaded the north,
the Dutch had landed quietly at the
Cape, the French claimed Senegal and
the English owned Gambia and the
Guinea coast. Early in the nineteenth
century, however, Europe found her
self so busy at home that Africa was

under the protectorate of the British
government is practically under the
wing Of the British South Africa COM
pany, that wonderful business concern
which was first organized by two hard
headed old Scotsmen, who saw that an
African company might exploit the
Dark Continent as the East India COM
pany had done with Asia, and as the
Hudson Bay Company had done in
America. The territories of this At
rican company extend up into the very
heart of the continent today and their
frontier posts are steadily percolating
deeper and deeper into the interior.

Influence of a Home.

There can be no such thing in the
highest sense as a home, unless you
own it. There must he an incentive to
plant trees, to Ibeautify the grounds,
to preserve and improve. 1t elevates
a man to own a home. It gives a GER
tain independence, a force of character
that is obtained in no other way. A
man without home feels like a pas
Senger. There is in such man a lit
tie of the vagrant. Homes make patri-
OTIS. He who has sat by his own fire
side with wife and children will defend
it. When he hears the word country
pronounced, he thinks of his home.
Few men have been patriotic enough
to shoulder a mUsket i'm defense Of a
boarding house.
The prosperity and glory Of our
country depend upon the number of
our people who are the owners of
homes. Around the ffreside cluster the
private and public virtues of our race.
Raise your SONS to be independent
through labor-to pursue some business
for themselves, and upon their own &C
count-to be sedf-relfant-to act upon
their own responsibility, and to take
the consequences like men. Teach them
about all things to be good, true and
faithful Observation-Disclosures of love,
and builders of homes.-The Preacher.

cutting. If the spikes are cut when
two or three of the lower flowers are
open, and placed in water, the entire
spike gradually expands into the most
beautiful and perfect flower.
Looking over the list find among
those offered at cents, or five for 10
cents, several most beautiful sorts,
standard in my own collection: Carna-
ton and Ceres delicately beautiful;
Madame Monaret with spikes Of flow
ers of large size, perfect form, and Of
the most exquisite shade Of rose. Eu-
gene Scribe is conspicuously beautiful,
while Golden Scepter, Leander, and
Napoleon III are striking specimens,
widely different. Angelo is attractive,
Snow White and Augusta peerless in
color, with heavy spikes Of lovely pure
white flowers of heaviest texture,
grand keepers. Canary Bird, Flamln-
go, The Sultan, Mad Auber and Sun
set are exquisite at very moderate
price.
For luxuriance and freedom of
bloom, however, and certain tropical
abandon as to size and coloring, Gladi-
olus Chi1dsi leads all others. Looking
carefully over the list you will find
choicest colorfngs and markings in
flowers of magnificent size, and at
prices as low as ordinary G1adi0li; not
because of inferiority, but because of
the large stock on hand in these par
ticuIar varieties.-Mrs. A. III. Hazlett.

Gladiolus Culture Some Choice Va

SO in it's tolerance of heat, drouth, cold
rains, chilling winds, and very much
light, frosty weather, added to it's abil
ity to nearly take care Of itself. 1t is
equally adapted to all sections, is sure
to grow, sure to flower magnifcently.
Its culture demands no professional
skill, no attention but the most mea-
gre, for stored within each bulb is nu-
triment sufficient to develop grand re-
suits in the way of thrifty growth and
prof1sion of bloom. Given plenty of
sunshine, ordinary soil of any kind,
only deeply dug and kept free from
weeds, and it will afford display that
no line Of bulbs can surpass. At the
same time, it amply repays extra care
and liberal feeding by enhanced size
and beauty.
la succession of bloom may be Sc
cured in this latitude from July until
late September, If actual freezing does
not set in, by planting at intervals
from April until June. Gladiolus
Childsi is unusually hardy, and by
planting in succession from April to
July it continues in bloom until No
vember in sections not subject to Sc
we're early freezing. It will endure
frosts that wholly wreck the more
common and tender varieties, and still
hold it's beauty almost untouched.
The strongest bulbs, with their rich
reserve store of nourishment, should
be kept for the latest planting Plant
in open ground, after danger of freeZ-
ing is past, setting the bulbs three
inches apart in the rows. In masses,
five or six inches apart each way. If
set in rows, no better support can be
found than wire netting two feet high;
placed in the rear of a single row, they
can be securely and almost invisibly
tied, and it serves admirably as a safe
guard against sweeping winds. When
grown in Masses they afford one an
other much counter protection, the
outer rows being supported. An easy
and efficient way to support, is to drive
stakes at the ends of the rows, and
few at wide intervals between, then
taking a ball of common Irvine pass it
in and out around the stalks, a few
times around each stake, running two
or three lines of Irvine along the rows.
At short distance it is not observed.
If mulched during hot weather they
are much larger and finer. In the fall
allow the bulbs to remain in the
ground as late as possible without
freezing, then dig, remove the tops, let
dry for about two weeks, in an airy
place secure from rain and frost, then
store in open boxes in a dry, frost
proof cellar. The GIadio1us is the
flower for everybody, for busy people,
people with either lean purse or a
we'll filled one; for in price its range is
equa1led only by it's array of color
snow white, cream, flesh, pink, tender
rose, delicate salmon, lilac, mauve, vel
low, grayish blue, and all shades OF
red from dazzling orange scarlet to
deepest crimson, almost black, spotted,

The easiest money made is in buying
your goods of all kinds at the right
place Some people work and scrape
., and save until they get some money
>, ahead and then do not know how to
p make it do the most good; it IS fritter-
ed away with very little to show for
their hard earnings. If they would
use half the effort to make it go a
: ways in buying as was made to earn
it, they would be made better off. 1t
pays to hunt up the bargains, it is a
recreation instead of hard labor. The
money is made greater; not only that,
but 1t educates one to buy right; it is
always an income. Every cent you
spend shows a gain instead of a loss.
Some one inquiries how can l hunt up
these bargains; / have no time, l must
work every day and hour possible.
That's true; you have to d o extra
work and then get behind that extrav-
agant habit of paying more than a
thing is worth; buying without know
ing me value and jumping in at the
first place, or better still, to save your
valuable time, have a book, send the
children or the servants and then Won
der how it comes that your supplies
cost so much. This is a most import
ant matter. 1t requires thought ,eX-
perience and intelligence to make it a
success. See some of the following
examples of the difference in prices
and then decide if it doesn't pay to
buy right:
