Pruning Currant Bushes.

/ am not certain as to the best way.
My practice has been to begin with the
bush AT two years old and cut back at
least one-third to one-half Of the now
growth each year, at any time when
the bush is dormant, either late in fall
or very early in the spring, writes a.
g. Sharp, in Orange Judd Farmer.
Also cut out all the suckers that may
have started within the plant. In this
manner there is no great shock to the
plant and it makes a stoclly, stifi, up.

ing a chance TO get more plants on an

plant left to itself will grow long
stems and arms that when loaded
with fruit and dripping with rain will
bend down so that much of the fruit
lies iiat upon the ground, to be spat-
tered with mud. Some branches will
be broken with the winds, besides be-
ing much in way of cultivation.
In regard to trimming or renewing
old plants long neglected, l know Of
no better way than to cut the whole
bush off near the ground, when IL the
root is worth saving it will send up
plenty Of shoots the first year. These
can be treated in the same manner
thereafter as two-year-old plant,
simply by selecting a few of the best
shoots and trimming as at first de.
scribed. Keep all slender, weak stems
cut out or pinched out as they appear.
Perhaps it might be as well to treat
half the bush at Il time, taking two
years 10 renew the plantation, and at
the same time growing some fruit On
the plants while renewing. In this
case the plants will require more fer
tilizer rs well as cultivation to make
both fruit and good growth the same

Tho Great Portrait Fainter.

"I could name a portrait painter, a
fashionable one, which means he has
an extensive clientage. of whom it
is said that he always secures n good
likeness" says Charles II. CafIin in
Everybody's Magazine. 1T may be so
as far as the features are concerned,
but If you do not know the ladies or
gentlemen depicted the portraits will
mean nothing to you. You are quite
prepared to find eyes, nose and mouth
represented, but in their arrangement
you look in vain for individuality of
expression, something that will iden-
tify itself in your imagination with a
separate character, that, as you study
the picture, will cause you to feel you
are making the acquaintance of an
actual personality. On the other
hand. the great portraits of the world,
which have survived the judgment Of
time, and are agreed to be great by sue
ceeding generations of cultivated per-
sons, owe their eminence partly, 1t Is
true, to their technical excellence, but
a great deal more to the undebatable,
perenniahy certain fact that they rep
resent human beings with such insight
into character and fulness of express
zion that. although, centuries may
have elapsed, and our modern ideas Of
life be entirely different on the surface,
these portraits have fundamental
relation to the common humanity. The
painters secured a vivid realization of
character, the vital facts which con-
stitute separate human indentity,

those of friends"

The returns from Pembina.

President Cleveland once asked
Bishop Whipple what would be the
effect of making the Indians voters.
Then Bishop Whipple told him that
it had been tried, and after listening
to the story President Cleveland gave
up the idea.
In Dakota territorial days a law was
passed allowing Indians wearing civil
liZed dress to vote. In the following
election, when both sides were claim
ing the victory, some one said: "Wait
until you hear from Pembina." In
Pembina lived a large number of the
Pembina tribe of Indians, and there
also dwelt the local political boss,
"Jud" La NIoure, famed for his seal
skin overcoat and his qualities as
political fighter. When the returns
came in from Pembina it was found
that the members of the tribe had
all been put into hickory shirts and
trousers on election day, between sun
rise and sunset, and after exercising
the inalienable rights of citizenship,
at the dictation of the local boss, they
returned again to their blankets, hay-
