white sunbeams from outside
Denis heard a clear, decided voice
say, softly:

audience had risen to its feet and

I'd like to shake hands with him;
only, of course, he wouldn't shake
hands with little chap like me-"
Getting on, my boy?" clear, de.

tone. "This is the first time you have

His eyes closed. The great general
looked at him closely. He fancied the

STORING FRUITS.

Amateurs frequently gather their
apples and pears before they are
thoroughly ripened. Under these con-
ditions it is impossible to obtain the
full favor of the fruit. An even
temperature in the fruit store is i'm
portant, and adequate ventilation
must be provided at all times. Many
excellent varieties of apples have
been pronounced of inferior quality
owing to their being placed in i'll ven-
tilated storerooms. The use of straw
or hay should be avoided. Fruit will
taste of the flavor of these materials
IL used. The choicest dessert vari-
cites should be placed on wadding or
wood wool in single layers. Take
great care in handling the fruit not
to bruise or otherwise damage it in
any way. - Gardening for Begin
ners," in the Garden.

THE WINDOW GARDEN.

The plants in the window garden
should be blooming well. Give week.
ly applications of fertilizer. Turn
them at least once a week, to pre-
vent them from being drawn SO much
to the light that there is danger of
their becoming permanently one
sided. Shower them frequently.
Once a day is not too often where the
air is hot and dry. Keep all fading
flowers cut off. Allow no dead or
dying leaves to remain upon your
plants. Burn them. Stir the soil
in the pot frequently. This prevents
weeds from growing. 1t also allows
air to get at the roots of the plants
and facilitates evaporation. Let in
all the sunshine possible, and, along
with it, plenty of fresh air.

FOR THE GARDEN.

As a bed of solid color, Phlox
drummondi Is very effective. Cannas
entails considerable labor In the
planting in the spring and removal to
the house for protection in the au-
tumn, but the phlox, being perfectly
hardy, makes permanent bed. Gar
deners are now substituting them for
the tender plants.
After the tops are cut off in the
fall a two or three inch coating of
stable manure insures strong growth
the following season.
If one happens to see desirable
shade, all that is necessary is to make
cuttings three inches long, plant in
the open ground in moist situation,
and In three or four weeks rooted
plants will be procured.

RENEWING STRAWBERRIES.

If you have neglected to mulch
your strawberries in the fall, it can
be done at any time during the win
ter when the ground is not frozen.
They must be covered in winter, not
to keep them from freezing, but from
heaving. The roots are very shallow
and constant freezing and thawing
greatly Injuries them. They should
never be covered before the first of
November as they will not be injured
by cold only when the ground freezes.
Wheat or oat straw is the best mulch.
Two inches deep is enough. Shake
this straw up in the spring, putting
the most between the rows. Let the
patch alone until the berries are
ripe. AS soon as the last berry is
picked NOW the patch and when the
leaves are dry rake them and the
straw off. Take breaking plow and
run up one side and down the other
of each row, letting it run about
three inches deep and thus narrow
down. leaving the row four to six
inches wide. The dirt thus thrown
between the rows must be gradually
worked up fine and worked back
to the rows. Then keep the culti-
yator going the same as you did the
year before and by October you will
have as fine a patch as you had the
year before.-Agricultural Epitomist.

the plant until the pot is full. Do
this two or three times so the earth
is we'll soaked. Now take the plant

that there is, after all, nothing myster.
ious about the malady, which is acute
indigestion, and that there is a sure
and inexpensive remedy for 1t. The
remedy is a quart of linseed oil, fol
lowed by plenty of Cruel. This softens

A Definition of Success.

How have the hypothetical scien-

benefited themselves or humanity at
large by sowing the seeds OF doubt
broadcast in the world? The real SCI
entists do not fall in this category, for
they are believers in the real sense OK
the word they know too much, they
have seen too many mysterious mani
festations of the Divine creative pow
er. Now, those who have disposed or
the Bible and all evidences of inspira-
ton, have written a great many books
and some of them have won what the
world at large lightly calls fame. Ac-
cording to the ordinary measures that
are applied in such cases, they have
been extremely successful. but real
success means the benefit of human
ity in some form or other II no such
benefits can be shown as the result OF
their labors, their success is not equal
to that achieved by the direst poverty
and the deepest ignorance. = Joel
