Time to Make the Cuttings Now.

Few people realize how simple a
matter 1t is to propagate ones own
grape vines, currants, gooseberries.
and most ornamental shrubs. II the
work is properly done, these plants
may be readily propagated by means
of cuttings made late in autumn, after
the leaves are off the plants. but pre-
ferably before cold weather comes on.
says the Indiana Farmer. Only well
ripened mature wood that has growa
during the preceding summer should
be selected for the purpose, all soft
or immature parts being discarded.
The cuttings themselves should be
made 6 to 10 inches long, and ths
base of each should be cut squarely
just below bud, so the bud is re
tanned at the lower end. They should
be tied up in bundles of convenient
size, say 100 in bundle, their butts.
or basal ends, all one way, well shaken
down so as to stand level on a fiat
table. They must then be packed in
fresh, moist sawdust and be kept

as early as the soil can be worked,
and before the buds have begun to
grow on them, they should be planted
out in good garden soil. The rows
should be about four feet apart, to ad-
nit of easy cultivation, and the cut
tings should be set very firmly in thu
soil, so as to leave no air spaces about
them, and set deep enough so on.y
the uppermost bud is above the
ground. They should then be Civ.

proud smile would fit over her face.
Sometimes she was obliged to- stop.
for she felt so utterly wretched. and
her head ached so. AT last she got il

len She could not bring herself to
read it through again, this stammer-
ing entreaty for pardon, and confess
sion of guilt.
She put the closely-written pages in.
to an envelope and addressed it,.
When she was about to seal the letter
with green wax, and drew off the seal
ring with her coat of arms, confirma-
ton gift from her parents for that
purpose, she happened to look up, and
caught sight of herself in the little
glass that hung over the table. A pale,
startled face looked out at her with a
pair of large. wild eyes; the forehead
was half hidden under mass of
tangled hair Ii was a startling pic
| ture. And there, in the corner of the
glass, stood out the Tollen arms, be-
meath which she had painted Faith
full and True" She stared at the glass
as though under a spell, and feel
ing of horror came over her. 1t seemed
as if she saw her fathers face over
her shoulder angry and threatening.
What have you done, Katie?" a
voice seemed to say. You have STEP
ped aside from the honorable path of
the Tollens. You are a traitor!"
She sprang up like one demented,
and hid the letter in her pocket, and
then hurried into bed and drew the
clothes over her. Again she was
shaken by that deadly chill, which was
followed by burning heat.
"Oh, God, help me this once!" she
prayed She thought she was sitting
on the horse, and it ran round and
round with her in a circle till she
grew dizzy, and everything whirled
round with her.
Then she caught herself speaking.

was not here; Lora was in the hospi-
tai at Berlin, and her calm face was,
perhaps, bending over some dying pa
tient.

Football and Prize Fighting.

The football that is played is to the
football that should be played as a
prize fight to legitimate boxing.
Indeed, as between the two prize fight
ing is on a higher ethical plane than
college football. The fighters are
frankly professional. They make no
pretense of amateur standing. They
fight openly for money and they have
to fight fairly. The fouling of oppon-

THE VISITING MASSA-
CHUSETTS VOLUNTEERS

The visit Of the 9Th Massachusetts
TO Canada is a sign of the times; and
OF good times. 1t Is visible evidence
OF the new Anglo-American under
standing. Private citizens will visit all
the countries Of the world without
comment no matter what the relations
may be between the nations of the
visitors and the visited; but when a
uniformed regiment marches into the
territory of another country under
arms and is received with salvos Of
cheering, and not Of artillery, the
bond of friendship is strong and pop
ular and bears all the marks of per-
manence.
1t was novel sight for Montrealers
to see an American regiment parade
under arms on the Champ de Mars;
but 1t was a sight of which they de-
monstrated their keen approval It is
a. sight, too, which the wiser states
men Of the two countries should en-
deavor to get repeated. Such object
lessons of the official amity existing
between the great Anglo-Saxon Re-
public and the great Anglo Saxon
Empire cannot be presented too often
to the eyes Of the people OF both.

the cats and dogs that are abused and
killed, bear witness to the need for

properly recognized until there Is at
