was a clerk First railway clerk at
Newcastle, then a mercantile clerk in
London, he began to make his mark as
London letter writer to the Nation.
Mr.. Parnell gave him chance by talk
ing him as private secretary on his
American tours in 1879. He is now
the keenest member @. the Nationalist
party, and has had seat in parlia-
ment since 1880. Mr.. Healy married
a daughter of II. ID. Sullivan. the Po"t
of the Irish parliamentary party. 1t

his father-in-law's house for the honey

Just then the doctor entered, and 1t
happened Fred and Maggie were not
alone again for several days, and then
II was planned to move him home.
Maggie suffered torture during those
few days. She did not believe Fred
would ever speak to her Of marriage
again. She had weighed love in the
balance against gold. She found she
could live without wealth but not with

Fred she could not be happy. On the

PROPAGATING CURRANTs.

The usual method of propagating cur
rants Is to make cuttings Of the new
wood in the fall or early winter and
keep them in n trench or in the soil fol
planting in the, early spring. The ma.
jority of such cuttings will strike root
and grow. A much better way, how
ever, to my mind; and one which will
give the gardener start over the
above method of half seasons
growth, and one by which not cutting
will be lost, is to make your cuttings
along the last of August after the wood
is pretty well grown, yet somewhat
soft and sappy. Plant Immediately III
we'll drained soil in nursery rows. The
trench method is the simplest. and a
good pudding at time Of planting will
insure roofing. In case Of drought
following, which is not likely, three or
four buckets Of water. run down hoe
furrow alongside the slips will irrlgate
fifty plants. During the following six
weeks the cuttings will strike out Wig
orous roots, and the following spring.
instead of being Cuttings" they will
be sturdy plants ready to leave out and
take full advantage Of the earliest
spring sunshine and warmth. My first
practical experiment with August cur
rant cuttings was the sticking in the
ground and tramping tight of shoot
accidentally knocked off the parent
bush. The ground was dry and never
expected the slip to live. 1t died, ap'
parently, after few days, died the
death, but when happened to notice II
ten days later 1t had braced up strong
and healthy, and when I pulled 1t up In
October to observe its progress it had
fine long root system.-Guy E. Mitch

WISE WORDS.

People who rldlcule fools are usually
In the same bcct.
Zen are seldom thankful when they
get what they deserve.
The desire Of appearing clever often
prevents one becoming SO.
Progress is the activity of to-day and
the assurance of tomorrow.
To be vain Of ones rank or place Is
to show that one Is below 1t.
The readiest and surest way to get
rid of censure Is to correct ourselves.
One night Of foolish carousel may
destroy the result Of years intelligent
| labor.
Experience Is keen knife that hurts,
while it extracts the cataract that
binds.
The use of slang may be that 1t
keeps many takers from assassinating
real English.
Nobody can hope to get into good So
ciety who does not call ones salary
ones income.
Egotism and vanity are tireless
| horses with which one can pillow the
field Of folly.
Freedom Of conscience and freedom
! from conscience should not be incOntro.
/ vertible phrases.
The difference between having pride
and being proud Is worth while learn
ing early In life.
| With too many persons charity
means only the getting rid of what
they don't happen to care for.
Human nature Is SO constituted that
all see and judge better In the affairs
of other men than In their own.
Try to enact your highest aspirations
In the environment In which you are.
Thus you will lift everything about
you.
The mind that Is much elevated and
insolent with prosperity and cast down
by adversely Is generally abject and
base.
A person who cannot argue Is like
person who cannot chew; he swal'
lows the facts of life unprepared fol-
digestion.
Though your life be a tangled skein
patience hath an eye which can find
the end Of the thread. which will en-
able you to unravel the snarl.

The Peril of Nancy.

Attention Is called to the utter In.
adequacy of the defenses of the great
frontier town Of Nancy by French
military critic writing in the NOuvelle
Revue. 1t was generally believed that
all was right at the town In question,
which is garrisoned by four regiments
Of infantry, one of artillery and one Of
cavalry. 1t Is the headquarters of the
Twentieth Army Corps, and has long
commissarlat and transport depot. The
Germans, however, have done more on
ti.eir side not far away. According to
the critic they have so perfectly organ
iz,d everything, and particularly their
railway service, that two hours after
the declaration of war with France
they could send 10000 men across the
froi- tier, and their artillery could set
to work bombarding Nancy until not n
wall or house was left standing In the
city. Thus the French mobilization
would be endangered from the outset,
and the army would have to act purely
on the defensive, the whole plan of
campaigns being upset. The critic is
very emphatic In his protests against
the carelessness exhibited with refer
ence to the dangerous position Of
Nancy In the event Of war with Ger.

A New Safe Deposit.

A young man was recently brought
to the operating table Of the ST. Jo-
seph hospital in Paris, suffering from a
hard growth in the stomach. An Incl
sion was made and the surgeons dis
covered eight silver spoons, three
pronged silver fork broken in two. the
handle Of another, two bits of metal. a
nail, a needle. the handle and the
blade Of a knife, key, portion of a
comb and several small pieces of ircn,
the whole weighing 23O grammes, or
about a half pound. The youth ex-
planned that he was unhappy one day
and thought TO commit suicide. He
swallowed spoon. AS this did not
affect him he swallowed another. Then
the habit grew on him and he took to
swallowing any kind of metal sub
stance. He had forgotten how long he
had been doing it. The case is said to
establish a record of it's kind.

Of prospectors who penetrated the
canyon In search Of water. A branch
OF the tree and its blossoms were
brought to this city for classification,
but It is unknown to botanists in this
city.
The leaves OF the tree resemble In
size and shape the fig leaf, but they
are of vivid purple color and the
underside Of the leaf is thickly COW
cred with stiff hairs, which stand out
from the leaf fully half an inch
These hairs are sharp and thornlike
and easily penetrate the skin, and
when they do So they are poisonous,
causing swelling and much pain.
The blossoms are as peculiar as are
the branches and leaves. They are
Of a rusty red color and are about TWO
inches in diameter. In shape they az

shape resembling the abdomen OF the
poisonous spider, and there are several
chives or stamens, corresponding to the
legs OF that insect
The most peculiar feature OF the
plant, however. remains to be told.
Whenever one approaches the plant
or when the wind agitates the
branches of the tree, the flowers give
off an abundance of perfume-heavy
sickening and deadly. This perfume
has the quality of chloroform, and
few inhalations of the odor produce
unconsciousness. The prospectors who
made the discovery of the plant were
rendered insensible upon approaching
the tree to examine it. AS the plant

names have been suggested by the

A North American Flora.

ration of a North American Flora.
designed to furnish descriptions of all
plants known to grow naturally In
North America and the West Indies,
except Trinidad, and other islands
near the South American coast, will
be included in the work.
The task will require many years
and great amount of exploration,
both in the West Indies and Central
America, and in the western United
States. A bequest from the late Chief
Justice DAILY, says the New York Sun,
will help in the work.
Research work is being conducted
this year in Cuba, Hayti, Honduras

garden while many other districts are
being explored by collectors, from
whom sets of their collections are pur.
