CON0REdATIONAL ChURCHNOTEs
HOW TO GROW THE CHRYsANTHNI1J,

HOW TO GROW THE CHRYsANrHMUM.
 Just 13o chrysanthemum plants
 were given out to the children at the
 close or the Children's day service in
 !all, about the middle of October,
 these plants, fully grown, are to be brought to chrySanthemum display at the church, and prizes will be given
 TOT the finest plants. Of course all
 the children wish to do their best, and
 perhaps would be glad for just a word as to now to go to work to accomplish the best results.
 If the plants are to be brought into the house in the fall, it is best to put them at once in pots or boxes, filled WlGh rich soil, about six inches broad and deep. Sink these pots or boxes,
 Go the level of the soil. This will pre-
 vent the plants from drying out in hot
 ed once in two or three weeks, to pre- vent the roots from striking through into the ground. If the roots did this, the plants would wilt when taken up in the fall. If the pots are thus sunk, 1t will hardly be necessary to give the plants thorough watering more than once week in time of dry weather.
 When the plant is about nine or 10
 inches high, if your aim is to secure fine blooms, the "pinching backs pro-
 cess should begin, which means, with the thumb and finger, to pinch off an inch or so from the top of the central stem of the plant. This "pinching
 back" should be repeated once in two
 or three weeks until the middle of Au-
 gust, but not later. The plant will
 then have attained a gr )wth of ore
 and half to two feet Tn width and height. By the first of October, there
 should be if the plants have been thus
 treated, from 15 to 30 shoots on each plant and on each shoot cluster of
 fiower-b9ds, The plant should now have height and width of two or three feet. By the middle of October the plants in their pots are ready to be brought into the house, and will re- pay, with six or seven weeks of bloom, richly for the care that has been ex- pended upon them. Under high culti- vatiOn blooms are often found measur- ing eight inches across, but these are only attained when from the cluster of flowerbuds on the IS to 30 stems on each plant, all the buds are rubbed off but one.

John s. Sewall was captains clerk on the Mississippi, the steam frigate that carried Commodore Matthew Cal braith Perry, in 1853, when he was the bearer of a letter from our govern ment to the MikadO asking for treaty. The demands of this treaty, it's sign ing and it's influence, are matters of history, of course; but personal recol- lections of such an expedition are es- pecially interesting reading just now, and the July Century will contain MT Sewall's s story "With Perry in Japan,' in which history will be pleasantly en- livened with anecdote and reminis- cence.

In addition to the floral bed with foliage plants at the entrance to the grounds, numerous beds are arranged south of the Castle. The lawn, trees and

SAVED!

1t was beautiful evening in the
gladstone spring. A majestic calm
prevailed all things.
The sweet scented zephres danced in
and out of tie sighing elms and weep
willows. The warblers gay had long
gone to rest, while the daisy and, the
bluebell had closed their tiny heads
and lay wrapped in slumber; but there
was one little bluebell still awake, and
she was coming down the garden path
with him-the catch of the town-by
her side.
Silent and colorful, the countryside
lay stretched before them, and over
the summit of distant hill came the
beams of new moon, like steamers of
gold and silver.
eyes," he continued, his arm mean
while moving dangerously near to her
sylphlike waist, "it is indeed q glorious
night. See the lily's dropping head.
She has gone to Sunderland along
with her other fair sisters. Not q
sound breaks on the languid air. All
nature is lost in happy dreams"
She drew q wee bit nearer to his
manly form and tailormade suit.
Was he going to-to-. Her
heart was almost in her mouth, flut-;
tering madly. Now was the time
the happy time-the time she had
longed and prayed for.
beautiful !" she answered in dulcet
tones, dropping her dainty eyelashes,
but still keeping watchful eyes on
him. "One could almost weave a ro-
nance here in this spot"
Did he comprehend? She held her
breath.
eyes," he continued, "and look
at the bright twinkling stars. See
how they peep down like tiny angels
keeping guard over our hearts"
Hearts He was surely coming to
it now.
"And look at fair Luna. She is
magnificent tonight in her silvery
brightness, but with all her beauty
she Is not as fair as"
"What?" asked trembling bluebcll
She nestled little closer.
He dropped his eyes and gazed into
hers for monet, but that moment
was enough. He had nearly fallen.
Now for little strategy, and with
his eyes glued on the distant moon he
went on-"as she was last night"
And they walked slowly on.

SENTENCE SERMONS.

Covetousness kills charity.
A good repentance needs no en-
core.
You cannot leave the lusts you
love.
Every right thing loved enlarges
the life.
Many homely seed holds heaven
" blossom.
1t is easy to be patient with the
man in the mirrow.
No creed that is shorter than a life
is long enough.
Education is simply the art of Great
ing environment.
You would better damn a man than
despair of him.
It takes more than a white tie to
cover black heart.
It is always easier to do big thing
than little one.
The perfume of life comes from the
flowers of rfection.
Every time conceit is punctured
character is strengthened.
Present virtues may do more for
a people than past victories.
It makes many q man blush to
look an honest horse in the face.
You cannot measure the holiness
of others by your own habits.
The right is never found by the
assertion OF your own right alone.
Caution is the opening Of the eyes,
suspicion the closing of the heart.
Some people think to redeem bad
day by dreams of heaven at night.
1t is a good sermon that stays with
a man when he is swapping horses.
Many men are blaming their luck
who ought to lay it on their lying
lives.
Many preachers are trying to prove
their love of God by their hatred Of
men.
When man affects to despise the
forms OF goodness it is usually be-
cause he has no facts with which to
fill the forms.
Some men think that the Almighty
only gave them sense enough to prove
that He had none.
Man is not tenement house in which
the floor of the heart may be clean
while that of the intellect is corrupt
