"SNOB" REGIMENT NOT
WANTED BY SOLDIERS
Proposition to Create an Organiza-
ton of Gentlemen Fighters
Called an Insult.

LONDON, Dec. 26.-The suggestion made
in the columns of the Daily Mail that a
"gentlemen's regiment" should be formed
is not likely to meet with official support.
The great jealousy which existed between
the Yeomanry and the Regular troops in
South Africa is recalled. Many of the
men who joined the irregular corps were,

indeed there were some titled troopers. But
at that time active service conditions pre-
vailed and the gentlemen rankers were ad-

soldiers duties call for a steady, constant
loyalty to a not over-varied regime of dis
cipline. Should there be any relaxation
even in mere name in favor of a gentle
mems regiment the army would be seeth-
ing with discomfort.
''Bombardier' writes: 81 can truthfully
say L have met in the ranks men per-

and men who do not require special regi-
ment because their social status does not

WOMAN WHO AIDED CAUSE
Of NAPOLEON Ill IS DEAD
One of the Best-Known Characters
of Paris and an Especial Pro-
tege of Americans.
MANY ASKED HER ADVICE

PARIS. Dec. 26.-Mme. Henrette Duper-
ron, one of the best known characters of
this city, is dead. She was seventy-six
years old and every day during the past
thirty-six years sold newspapers and mag
azines in a kiosk at the corner of the Rue
Scribe and the Boulevard des Capucines,
in front of the Grand Hotel. She was the
especial protege of the Americans who
patronized the hotel and thousands of them
sought her advice on all subjects.
The old wOman's funeral promises to be
one of the most notable Paris has seen for
some time. Members of the Jockey Club.
near by, one of the most exclusive clubs in
the world, will attend in a body. This
club for many years sent carriage nightly
to the kiosk to take Nine. hyperion home.
Many gifts, from money to houses, were
offered the old woman, but she never would
accept present. She contributed 81, 900 to
the cause of Napoleon III, but when, after
he became Emperor, he sought to reward
her, she proudly refused all his favors. II
is supposed the governments decision to
close the kiosk over which she presided
so many years FASTENED her death.

If he has to break another woman's heart
and sadden his own. This may be the out

1t has often been urged by enthusi-
asts that the begonja as a bedding
plant is as easy to handle as a potato
and that the tubers during the winter
months are just as easy to keep. This
is true as far as it goes, but it is not
the whole truth
The facts are just these: The bego-
mia is just as easy to handle as the po-
tato, more sure to flower than the dah-
liza and much more attractive and
cheaper than geraniums, provided all
the conditions are complied with.
To successfully grow begonias in full
sunlight or in any exposure the ground
needs to be thoroughly well cultivated
and fairly rich. If the position is an
exposed one during the early stages of
growth, say during June or July, con
tinuous watering is the essential fea-
ture. They need to be watered late in
the evening, early in the morning, and
a continuous running of the hose on
the bed during the whole of the after
noon would not do any harm. In a
word. the begonia needs a cool. moist
place for its roots, with warmer at
mosphere for its foliage.-J. w. With

Hardy AzaIsas.

During the month of May nearly all
of what are called hardy azaleas bloom,
having in mind the northern states
principally Beautiful as the flowers
are. they are often not as satisfactory
as they might be because of being
planted in unsuitable places. AZaeas
are naturally shade loving plants, and
besides this the flowers are far more
lasting when in partial shade than
when in the full sun, yet rarely are
they seen in other than situation en-
tirely exposed to the sun. 1t is not
meant that they should be planted di-
rectly under trees. but in situations
where large trees or buildings will par
tally shade them. 1t is generally I'M
derstood that azaleas love light soil,
but this must not be thought to mean a
poor one. 1t has to be light and fine
because of the threadlike roots these
plants have, which cannot endure a
heavy SOIL

Wouldst thou upbuild a home where sweet
wild lives are nestled
Glad with the sound of song, quick with
the flash of wing;
Where the soft broods may rock, warm
housed and unmoleSted
Deep in the leafy hooks, through all the
changeful springs?
Or wouldst thou rear an arch of noblest
grace and splendor.
Lifted in air and light. shaped by the
sun and storm.
Moved by the wandering wing. swayed by
each influence tender.
Yet by the hand of life nodded to stead.
fast form?
Wouldst thou make day more fair and
night more rich and holy,
Winter more keenly bright and sum-
mer's self more dear;
Grant the sweet earth a gift, deep rooted
rpening slowly,
Add to the sum of Joys that bless the
rounded year2
Go, then, and plant tree, lovely In sun
and shadow
Gracious in every kind-maple ana oak
and pine,
Peace OF the forest glade wealth OF the
fruitful meadow,
blessings OF dew and shade hereafter

For. though thou never see the Joy thy
hand hath granted,
Those who shall follow thee thy gener~

And each Of many a spTins shall nnd

THINNING FRUIT.
1t Makes 1t Larger and Finer and
Preserves the Tree.


The practice of thinning fruit has
long been known to the fruit grower in
Europe, and off years in fruit with
them are almost unknown. OF late
years the practice has been taken up
by most of our successful fruit grow
ers, and the consensus of opinion is
that thinning pays well. The most sue
cessful grower nowadays is not the one
who raises the largest quantity Of
peaches or apples, but the one who
produces the finest and highest quality
of fruit. Superior fruit cannot be OBJ.
tanned from a tree that is overloaded
with fruit. The capacity of a tree is
limited, and it cannot be exceeded no
matter how many fruits may be set.
If many fruits are set and are allowed
to remain, the energies of the tree are
spread out over the larger number,
and few if any will reach the limit of
their possible growth. If, on the other
hand, one-half or two-thirds of the
young fruits are removed, the remain
ing ones will have an opportunity to
develop to a normal size. Moreover,
the vitality of the tree is greatly pre-
served by such reduction, since it is
not the size of the fruit that impairs
the vitality of the tree, but the number
of seeds which are allowed to mature.
BY removing one-half or more of the
young fruits we do not only make 1t
possible for the tree to produce lar
ger and finer fruit, but we also pre-
serve the vigor and longevity of the
tree.
Judicious thinning makes it possible
in many cases to produce crop of
fruit every year and still keep the tree
in better state of health Thinning al
so tends to produce better colored fruit
as it permits the sun to reach many
places which would otherwise not be
reached. 1t also permits a freer circu-
lation of the air. Thinning will in
large measure lessen the heavy losses
occasioned by rotting of the fruit
The fruit will be further apart, and
there will be little or no chance for the
fruit to touch each other, making the
danger of infection by contact with the
disease or diseases more difficult Thin
ming prevents the breaking down of the
trees and tends to keep the shape of
the trees in orchards more uniform

spiritual Nourishment.

Make your most simple act complete.
Do your most common daily duty from
it's divinest motive, and what change
will come! Still your life will need
days of retirement when it will shut
the gates upon the noisy whirl of ac-
ton and be alone with God. But it
will not be upon them that 1t will
mostly depend for spiritual nourish-
ment. They will be like great eXcep-
tional banquets and extraordinary
feasts of grace. The daily bread of
spiritual life, the ordinary feeding of
the soul on God, which really makes
its sustenance, will be in the perpetual
doing of the works of life for him. The
real sitting down to be fed will be mys-
teriously identical with the most eager
and energetic standing on the feet to
do His will.-Phillips Brooks.
