FRUITS AND FLOWERS.

In setting out an orchard keep to-
gether all trees of the same variety.
Good garden soil is good for pot
plants, but can be improved by the adj
dition of leaf mold.
Weak rosebushes may often be made
to grow by giving them an occasional
watering with liquid manure.
One advantage with small fruits is
that they can be made to furnish a
supply long before trees come into bear
ing.
In planting a border don't plant every
thing in rows. A row of hollyhocks,
for instance, isn't half as attractive as
irregularly placed groups that break
the outline.
With pot plants in general way too
little water is better than too much.
The dropping leaves indicating drought
are more easily remedied than yellow
leaves, the result of being kept too
wet.
In preparing pots for plants the
pieces of broken pots or crockery in the
bottom should never be omitted, as
without proper drainage the soil be-
comes sour, the plants languish and
the leaves become yellowish.

1t is customary to treat this habit of bet
ting as If it were nothing but a manifesto
ton of the gambling spirit-the spirit
which enjoys the excitement connected
with risk of any kind. and which takes
pecuniary risks current events for the
sake OF such enjoyment. This accounts
for part of the practice, but not for the
whole If betting on sports had been moth
Ing more than an indulgence OF the pro-
rensity TO gamble, 1t would probably have
been restricted long ago But it has an
other function, and very Important one.
1t can be used as a means of checking ir-
responsible talk. The propensity of some
peopl2 to brag and buster makes them
at times a public nuisance. The men in
our colleges especially the younger and
more callow ones, are no exception tU this
rule. Unde' these circumstances the lie.
mand that the blusterer shal. back his
words by a wager of money becomes a
means OF protection TO those about him
against the unpleasant talk which is other
wise dinned into their ears.
In this respect the practice of betting
has function not unlike that which was
exercised by the practice of duelling a CEN
tury or two ago. In generations past the
blusterer was compelled to make good his
words by the wager of his life. We have
become quieter in our temper at the begin
ming of the twentieth century. and only de-
mand that ne shall wager his money. But
the principle is the same in the two cases
This can be used TO some extent as a
theoretical justification for the practice of
betting. 1t is, however, far more defensible
as theoretlcal view than as a practical
argument, for in actual life betting fails TO
accomplish its object. In this respect also.
the parallel between betting and duelllng
holds good. The duel checked irresponsible
language on the part OF those who could
not fight; but TO those who were ready TO
take their lives in their hands IL offered an
indemnity instead of a restraint In like
manner, the public tolerance of betting al
lows those who have money TO wager TO
give themselves free indulgence in boasting
In betting, as in dueiing, the whole com

tice, without realizing much of the theoret-
ically possible good.

ufacturers in the United States cannot keep
up with the demand is not stated; but it
is said that the French makers are far
behind their orders. On the streets of
Paris the automobile has become common,
and the horse uncommon, and its use in
our own country is rapidly extending from
a sport of the rich to business purposes.
There is no reason to doubt that the ma

will have 10 be insisted upon from the
