the American Missionary.

The Hon. James Campbell, Of
Ohio, is authority for the statement
that Alton B. Parker will again be
a candidate for the Democratic
nomination, next year. Mr.. Camp
bell says he was skeptical regarding
the accuracy of the report at first,
but that he has satisfied himself
that it is correct. Mr.. Parker is
reported to be receiving au income
of $50, 900 a year from the law firm
with which he is associated, but
doubtless $50, 900 year and occu-
pancy of the White House, rent
free, for four years, would prove a
good deal more attractive.

KIDNEY TROUBLE

The Importance of knowing just what to

The friends of Hon. Charles A.
Towne are trying to start boom
for that versatile citizen for the
presidency. They have not made
much headway thus far, but they
insist that he is the most likely
candidate in the field, and Wash
ington correspondents can have any
amount of material telling why this
is so for the asking. 1t is to be
hoped that there will be some avail
able candidates before the conven-
tion besides Mr.. Bryan, just to
make it genuinely lively Demo-
cratic convention. Of course, Mr..
Hearst will be there with the sup
port of the Independence League,
and doubtless there will be enough
doing to make it interesting, and
not such a cut and dried affair as
was the Republican convention of
three years ago.

To Pack Plants For Shippino,

\ large shipper of tender greenhouse
plants gives directions in Rural New
Yorker which would apply equally we'll
to packing vegetables and fruit plants.
This grower says:
believe the best packing for nearly
all weather conditions to be as follows:
Wrap plants in separate packages Of
from five to twenty-five plants, accord
ing to size or to make a package that
shall be not more than two inches
through. \ little soil should be left on
the roots, but even if the plant is from
two inch pot 1t is not necessary or
desirable that it should all be left on.
One-half or more should he shaken off.
Inc bunch of roots and soil should
now be we'll covered with moist sphap-
mum moss. which must lie wrapped in
oiled or waxed paper covering the en-
tire plant. Packages so wrapped
Should be packed tightly in layers. q

tops to the center and overlapping.

NAAOI INV {, Glu ttuN SPACE
Ill the center or top must be hacked

Many packers use sticks nailed cross
wise of the box to hold plants in
place, but they often cause serious
damage to plants so packed. The wax
paper is Of great importance not only
10 keep the moss and soil moist. but to
prevent moisture reaching the tops
TO cause heat and decay. Tops must
