Method Which Is Valuable When

The method Of grating shown IN

grating young seedlings growing In
the nursery or greenhouse. A slant
Ing cut Is made just under the bark
on the stock near the ground, and the
scion Is prepared much the same as
for cleft-grafting, except that the cut
on what is to be the outside of the
scion Is shorter than the other. 1t Is
then pushed into the cut ON the stock.

and then wrapped and waxed the same

The scions used for CRAFTS of all
kinds should be we'll ripened, healthy
shoots of the previous years growth.
They should be cut in the fall and
packed in sand or moss until needed.
In the case Of hardy sorts, good re-
suits can generally be secured with
spring-cut CRAFTS. but 1t Is safer to
cut them in the fall. April and May
are the months for grating.
For covering all cut surfaces made

Americans ALL" can those now liv.
ing ever forget them, or will future
generations ever cease to read Of those
times from the pages of history?
Two Memorial days-one for the
north, one for the south, and again,
"All Americans" No other nation has
concern in these memorial times but
our own. 1t was a war between broth
ers; the war has passed, the brother
hood remains. Or, if there still are
those whose hearts are fermenting
rooms for sectional hatred, we pity
that man or woman; surely there is
time to put aside-if not forget-a
time TO regard the best of the pres
ent, not the worst of the past; a time
to cultivate amenities and loves, not
antagonisms and base passions. Yes,
there are two Memorial days; may
the sun shine clear in the heavens on
the days that commemorate the valor
and the losses of both the north and
the SOUTH nor let either section fail
in thought, at least, to pay its due
tribute by awarding equal sincerity
and valor to the other. These days,
as is eventually the case with all me-
mortal days, have measurably lost
their early Observation-Disclosures which
clusters around the affectional nature
and recalls the father or the son who
fell in that great struggle. 1t is not
in man always to mourn; and now
that which was born of the affections
becomes monumental and historic, and
it is well that it is so. In recent
years graves of the northern dead
have been decorated by the brethren
Of the south, and the blue have loved
to lay their floral tributes upon the
graves of the gray. So may it con-
tinue to be. as in future years our
two Memorial days come around with
each recurring spring. Pass a few
tardy years and monuments to a Lee
or a Johnston or a Gordon shall fine
a resting place at the north as well
as at the south, and so the oneness OF
the people and the forgetfulness OF
old antagonisms shall find expression
in bronze or in marble as it already
dwells in the hearts of those who are
both broadly patriotic and strong.

Condemned to Death.

1t is rumored that the military court
which has been investigating the sur
render of Port Arthur and the battle
of the sea of Japan has condemned TO
death Lieut.-Gen. Stoessel, who COM
manded the Russian forces at Port
Arthur, and Rear Admiral Nebogatoff,
who commanded one of Admiral Ro-
jestvenskys squadrons and who sur
rendered during the naval battle to the
japanese.
Rear Admiral Nebogatoff command
ed the light cruisers in the famous
battle OF the sea of Japan. When the
Gal 2. w y u .. hurley
japanese attacked, it was charged that
the Russian decentralization was large
ly caused by Nebogatoff, whose ship,
with one other, fed to the western part
of the sea. The Japanese gave Neboga-
toff all the honors of war while he re-
NAMED a prisoner in Japan. General
belief after the accounts of the battle
OF the sea of Japan had been digested
in neutral countries was that the
charges of cowardice against Neboga-
toff were well founded.

Staples?" he cried, as he waved his
arms like pump handles and strobe
back and forth on the platform A
deep and impressive silence followed.
Again waving his arms, he called in
voice of thunder: who is Clement
Z. Staples?" The silence was more
pronounced and the effect greater. The
audience was visibly impressed Be-
fore attempting to dwell upon the
good qualities of his candidate, the
speaker again proclaimed: II say,
who Is Clement L. Staples?"
A small man in the rear of the hall
stood or a chair and broke the silence
by saying: WAL, I'll bite. Who is

THE POINT OF THE PROvERB

An old proverb advises the shoe
maker to stick TO his last. 1t meas
that a man always succeeds best at
the business he knows. To the farmer
it means. stick to your pillow; to the
blacksmith, stick to your forge; to
the painter, stick TO your brush.
When we make experiments out of our
line they are likely to prove expen-
sive failures.
1t is amusing. however, to remark
how every one Of us secretly thinks
he could do some other fellows work
better than the other fellow himself
The painter imagines he can make
paint better than the paint manufac.
turer; the farmer thinks he can do
a Job Of painting better. or at least
cheaper than the painter, and so on.
A farm hand in one of Octave
Thanet's stories tells the Walking
Delegate Of the Painters Union, "Any-
body can slather paint" and the old
line painter tells the paint salesman.
"None of your ready made mixtures
for me; reckon l ought to know
how to mix paint"
The farm hand is wrong and the
painter is wrong: Shoemaker, stick
to your last" The fancy farmer"
can farm, of course, but il is an ex-
pensive amusement. If it strikes him
as pleasant to grow strawberries at
fifty cents apiece, or to produce eggs
that cost him five dollars a dozen, 1t
is a form OF amusement, to be sure.
If he can afford it, but it's not farm
ing. II the farmer likes to slosh
around with a paint brush and can af-
ford the time and the expense of hav-
ing a practical painter do the job
right pretty soon afterward, it's a
harmless form of amusement. II the
painters customers can afford to
stand for paint that comes off in half
the time it should, they have perfect
right to indulge his harmless vanity
about his skill in paint making, But
in none of these cases does the shoe
maker stick to his last.
There is just one class of men in
the world that knows how to make
paint properly and have the facilities
for doing it right; and that is the
paint manufacturers-the makers Of
the standard brands of ready-prepared
paints. The painter mireS paints;
the paint manufacturer grindS them
together. In a good ready-prepared
paint every particle of one kind of
pigment is forced 10 Join hands with
4 particle of another kind and every
cit of solid matter is forced as 1t
we're, to open its mouth and drink in
its share OF linseed oil. That is the
only way good paint can be made. and
If the painter knew how to do it he
has nothing at hand TO do 1t with. A
paint pot and a paddle are poor
substitute for power-mixers, buhr-mills
and roller-mills.
The man who owns a building and
neglects to paint it as often as 1t
needs paint is only a degree more
short-sighted than the one who tries
to do his own painting or allows the
painter to mix his paint for him.

DAY OF SENTIMENT.
Ceremonies in Cemeteries School Of
Patriotism for Both Old
and Young.

On every national anniversary, eX-
cept Memorial day, we deal with things
of life, rather than of death.
On Independence day we celebrate the
nations birth; on Washington and Lin
coin days the birth anniversaries of its
immortal patriots; on Thanksgiving
day the fullness and blessings of ma
tional prosperity.
On Memorial day alone we give pause
for tears; on this hallowed anniversary
we weave chaplets for the nations
glorious dead.
And how glorious they are-these
myriad sleeping soldiers-and how the
glory of their deeds magnifies with the
years!
We, the living. add not at all to their
Immortality in history with our flow
ers, our prayers and our tears. But
we do add something of priceless value
to our own lives by the customs of
Memorial day. We turn these sacred
hours into q symphony OF patriotism.
The benediction of to-day's flower
strewn mounds is for the living; it is
an oasis in the storms of life; level
ing occasion when the finer sentiments
creep into the souls of American men
and women.
And the nations cemeteries are to-
day the greatest school of patriotism for
old and young that we have. For true
patriotism counts not death, if through
death the nation shall find life and
health.
No nation is in peril that has such a
Memorial day as we have. The living
will carry on the work that these heroes
gave their lives for.
On Memorial day we come back
from forgetfulness to the realities.
We know why these soldiers died. and
we VOW that their sacrifice shall not
be in vain.
This nation has been carried
through all it's real perils by citizen
solciery, as distinguished from the
mercenary mil!tarism Of other ma
tons.
American patriotism is something
apart. The simple flag that is more
than ever a world emblem of liberty
has no parallel as an inspirer OF he
roic deeds.
There are those who place sordid
gain above sentiment. and care Tor our
prosperity only for individual profit.
But the heart of real America beats
true in every crisis. No foe open or
secret, can successfully measure
swords with the national conscience.
And this is the real lesson of Me-
mortal day. So long as we honor our
soldier dead we will honor our coun-
try.
Memorial day gives perspective.
The lettering Grand Army veteran.
and the lisping boy with cap and
drum and flag are the visible ex-
tremes of common unity of patri-
otism.
Passionless, the remnants of former
contending armies unite in a common
sorrow and a common hope. The
blue and gray are not less hallowed
because time is blending them.
The season of natures renewal is
fittingly the season when this and
future generations will yearly deco
rate the graves OF American soldiers.
And though none of these sleepers
hears the bugle call each is taken
again TO the national heart by the
fresh flowers in his "windowless pal.
