ticultrist, Lucien Linden, and has led
to astonishing and invaluable results.
The researches, which, by the way, are
still in progress, have demonstrated
that rubber plants are vastly different
in their habits of growth and cOnse-
quently their requirements as to nature
of soil, moisture and temperature vary
considerably according to the species.
Some grow in low lands along the
river banks, others on stony hillsides,
some on the high plateaus, even up to
5000 feet of altitude. Some grow up to
stately trees Of 100 feet and more,
others form big bushes and many are
vines attaining 200 to 300 feet in
length. 1t is evident that in introduce
ing rubber plants into a new country
the selection Of the kind has to be
made with a thorough knowledge OF
the plant and the nature Of the country
which is to grow it. TO spread this
knowledge is one object of the colonial
nursery in Brussels, but not the princi-
pal one, for it is actually the nursery
of the plantations, much as our nur-
series propagate and improve the fruit
trees which we plant in our orchards.
The seeds are gathered from care
fully selected trees thus introducing
only the best possible varieties and
insuring a gradual amelioration Of the
race. They are terminated by the hun
dreds of thousands, and the plants are
grown on for one, two or three years.
They are thoroughly hardened off and
then sent to the country Of their des-
tination. In this way the ultimate sue
cess of the plantations is as much in
sured as it is possible to do. The lit
| tie plants, already well established in
| pots, are able to take care OF them
selves, with the little cultural aid
which it is possible to give them in the
undeVeloped tropical countries. Ex-
perience has taught that these nursery
grown plants give much better results
than those grown on the spot, and
though a preparatory cultivation in
| Europe may seem to be complication,
| it really facilitates the planters work.
Without such a basis Of supply from
which at moments notice large
quantities Of well-prepared plants of
| 20 or more different kinds can be
bought, it would indeed often be life
work TO establish a plantation. First
the seeds have to be gathered, perhaps
in another continent, and it may take
years until one shipment will arrive
alive. Then, again 1T may take years
until a sufficient number Of plants has
I been grown to start the plantation,
and with all that, there is the I'M
certainty whether the seeds were true,
whether the varieties are good and if
the kind that has been selected will do
well in the particular country or dis
trict.
No doubt these difficulties have dis
couraged many an enthusiastic planter,

Win a jubilant martial strain,

And questioned, Why, o cello,
Are you dipping your notes in tears,
When the joyous voice Of each fellow
About you is charged with cheers,
And the stern old world grows mellow
And glad with the strain it hears?'
Then the cello's voice replying,
Said, Mine is the grief Away,

While happier comrades play,
For the victor with banners flying,
And the living who gained the day.

They have not been so well taught, -
she replied, with all the rashness Of
youth and ineXperience. Long years
ago, far back in the olden times, when
aristocracy meant chivalry, it was a
different matter. Aristocrats are not
knights in these days. They do not
understand what true knighthood

Lord RIVERS, looking with admiration
at the flushed face and shining eyes.

but the name, and that it is an empty

remember one half?-that names once
bIazoned high on the roll of the battle
field now serve as examples among
card-sharpers. She says that in old
en- times, when a man Of noble birth
and ancient title injured the honor of
his fellow man, they stood together
face to face and fought it out; now
they compensate injured honor with
money Aunt Alice says they have
lost the respect of loyalty toward
woman which goes so far in making
man a chevalier and a saint. One now
steals another mans wife; few
thousand pounds puts the matter right.

world are found amongst the English

Anthracite commandery, the most
centrally located and one Of the most
aggressive and enterprisnig of all OF
