October is natures funeral month Ma

To the ancients the opal was representa-

is that it is the only precious stone that Is

For October to be the opal month seems
appropriate even to one not initiated into
the occult meaning Of the stones and

proof cellar where they will not become too
dry. Before putting them away place them
under a shed out of the weather to dry
them off. as If put away wet they may mold
and decay. Keep them as you should pota-
toes Placing in boxes Of dry sand will
prevent them becoming too dry.
Do not delay planting the bulbs of hya-
cinths, tulips, narcissus, crocus, snowdrops
and other early spring Towering bulbs.
Well-rotted cow manure Is the best fertilizer
to use for bulbs, and if the ground is
heavy liberal application OF sand, forked
in with the manure, will be beneficial. Do
not use bone meal or manure that is likely
to encourage vermin.
Hyacinths should be planted about six
inches apart and about six inches deep to
the bottom of the bulb. Tulips and daffodils
should be set a little closer where a mass
effect is wanted and about five inches Deep
CrocuS and snowdrops about three inches
apart or even a little closer and three
inches deep. After the bulbs are planted In
the beds, leave the surface smooth and
level, as it will not be possible to fix them
up much after they come through the
ground in the early spring. Do not mulch
or cover them with manure or leaves until
after the ground is frozen two or three
field mice, which will destroy the bulbs.
ChrySanthemums soon will be in full
flower. Keep them carefully tied up. If
large blooms are wanted pinch off the side
buds. leaving the one at the end of the
stem. Now that the days are getting shorter
and nights colder chrysanthemum leaves
should not be syringed except on bright
days. Keep the plants the dry side,
but see that the beds are watered thorough
ly at least once a week. so the buds may
have chance to swell Give liquid manure
two three times week for a week or
two, but both that and Swinging should
be discontinued as soon as the buds show
color. Above all, keep free from insects.

The Glorious

The Glorious
Autumn tints Of our American trees and
shrubs are the envy and admiration of all
European travellers who are so fortunate as
to see them at this time Of year.
This is the season for transplanting trees,
and one should consider the fall effects in
coloring while making the changes, as
many trees are so brilliant that they are
well worth planting just for the autumn
effect.
The following are few of the best for the
purpose: Red maple, scarlet; sugar maple,
scarlet and orange; japanese cherry, dark
red; Towering dogwood, scarlet: katsura
tree, yellow and purple; hawthorne, scarlet
and orange; ash. yellow or violet purple;
tulip poplar, bright yellow: sour gum,
scarlet; white oak, vinous purple; scarlet
oak scarlet: sumac, mostly scarlet; sassa-
fras, orange and scarlet
The rich olive green of the California pri-
vet, which holds it's leaves well into the
winter, is an excellent contrast to the au-
tumn coloring and should be used freely for
that purpose.
Raking and cleaning up the fallen leaves
is one of the principal Jobs of the month.
Store them in heap in some out of the
way place until needed for covering plants
during the winter.
After the first sharp frost empty the beds
of the past summer flowers without delay,
and even where they not to be planted
again before the spring, give them a coat
of well-rotted manure and have them nicely
dug and left looking clean and tidy. The
soil will be all the better for it in the
spring.

Meditation

Meditation
A pedant Is formed by his memory a
man of culture is formed by the habit of
meditation and by the constant use OF
imagination"
"A mans intellectual character Is deter
mined by what he habltually thinks about"
THE Efe of the mind Is rich and fruit
ful." says Hamilton Wright Mable, ''only
! when thought, released from specific tasks,
flies at once to great themes. as its nat
ural objects of interest and love, Its nat
Hral sources of refreshment and strength.
Under all our definite activities there runs
p stream of meditation and the character
OF that meditation determines our wealth
or poverty, our productiveness, or our

Meditation is culture. The art of medi-

Few of us, in our manifold daily cares

Centrate minds upon some uplifting

that which is interested only in the unreal
and artificial. the unlasting desires of
eVanescent life. are what absorbed
In. If the physical body becomes wearied
and demands rest, we may grudgingly sit
down to idle for a brief space. but the
mind of the outer self keeps actively
engaged as ever. Petty. trivial concerns
OF the day are gone over ad infinltum.
When the time comes for these rest mo-
ments we should make habit of reading
few lines from some great work. Then
concentrate the mind upon It; mediate
upon IL until il becomes part of US. In
this way the life of the mind will become
rich and fruitful and when thought is
released from specific tasks 1t will fly at
once to great themes as its natural objects
of interest.
1t is hard to concentrate and hold the
mind for long on any one thing. In an

city at IL a. M, March 9th, 1906.
She was born at Pontotoc, Miss,
where she lived until about eight

liancy, ami q sunny, genial dispo-

this trait of her character was

exercised in selecting her studies.

Critical Times
In Tennessee.

The political situation in Ten
ncssee is badly mxed, and should
the Hon. Henry Clay Evans yield,
as he threatens to do, to bis ambi
ton to again enter the contest for
Governor as the Republican cam
didate, thick weather may be
looked for in the Volunteer State.
Mr.. Evans was elected Governor
Of Tennessee Oh the face OF the
returns in 1895, and, in proceed
ing of questionable propriety,
took the oath of Office before the
Legislature had finally passed up
on his rights in the premises. The
Leg stature threw out a sufficient
number of illegal Republican
votes to give the Office to Peter
Turney, the Democratic candi-
date; so Mr.. Evans was not per-
mitted to assume the duties ofthe
Office. The result of the contest
made Mr.. Evans stronger politi-
cally than he had ever been, and
should he enter the contest now
he will add greatly to the confu-
sion which already exists in the
racks of the Democracy.
Rather ugly conditions con-
front the Democracy of Tennes-
see at the mo nent. The contest
between Senator Carmack and
ex-Gov. Taylor for the United
States Senate, emba. rassingly
personal, will leave a Jrall of Bit
terness in its wake, and wounds
not easily healed. Candidates for
the Democratic nomination for
Governor have not escaped the
blight and taint of personal poll.
ties. The pity is the records of
the two leading candidates for
Governor justify, in a measure,
many of tue things they are say
ing of each other. Gov. Cox,
while revenue agent, was the sub.
ject of legislative inquiry and
the report made by a special COM
mittee left him with a badly torn
and tainted reputation. Congress
man Patterson of Memphis has
not hesitated tie use the record
against Coy. Cox. Mr.. Patter-
son, in a moment of indiscretlon
during his younger days, ran on q
legislative ticket in Shelby coun-
ty with a negro, and Gov. Cox
seems quite anxious to know
what the people of Tennessee
think about it. Judge Bo nd. ap-
