Growing New Plants For Setting In the
Field.
A New Jersey grower who finds it
profitable to pot his strawberry plants
explains in Rural New Yorker the
method used as follows:

objection to using potted plants is the
price they will cost to buy or the ex-
pense Of potting them ourselves. Here
is an obstacle easily remedied. To be-
gin with, every market gardener or, in
fact, any one who is thinking Of engag-
ing in the growing of strawberries
should have at least 5000 two inch
pots. These can be had at a trifing
cost and will last for years. When the
knack Of potting the plants is once ac-
quired it will be readily understood
that the only difference in the expense
of the potted system and the usual way
Of setting them is the difference in
time 1t will take in digging and trim.

THE FIRST MARLBOROUGH.
His Was a Curious Combination of
Contradictory Traits.

His Was a Curious Combination Of
Contradictory Traits.
Herbert Paul in his book on Queen
Anne of England paints queer pic
ture of the great Duke of Marlborough.
He was not truthful. He was not
straightforward. He was not honest.
In his love of money and his capacity
for boarding it he rivaled those wretch
ed misers who have done no more
than contemplate their gains. And yet,
such are the strange freaks in which
nature INDUCES, this mean and selfish
intriguer was endowed with perfect
courage, with an irresistible charm Of
manner, with a temper which even his
wife failed to disturb, with a brain
that no sophistry could obscure and
with a military genius before which
criticism is humbly silent.
He was. treacherous even in treach-
erous age. Wholly devoid of cruelty
and by nature humane, he is said new
err to have sacrificed an unnecessary
life. He used his fellow creatures for
his own purposes, and when he had no
further use for them he forgot their
existence. He made his plans and
carried them out with the absolute eff
cheney of sheer intelligence and the
serene applicability of impersonal
fate.

A Cool Lion Hunter.

sd. S. Mare, magistrate of Zoutpans-
berg, was out lion shooting with the
late Barend Vorster, mighty hunter"
says Carl Jeppe in his Kaleidoscope
Transvaal" "a lioness had been
wounded, driven out of cover and
stood at bay. The landdrost jumped
off his horse, fired and missed. 1t was
now Vorsters turn, since there was not
time for his friend to reload. In dis
mounting he dropped his watch and
stopped to pick it up. The lioness
seemed about to charge, and Mare
urged his friend to shoot Vorster re-
piled grumblingly that the glass of the
watch had been broken.
"'Never mind that now. The lioness
is ready to spring. Mare replied. DO
you know Vorster said, 4 shall have
to send the watch to Pretoria and that
it will cost me 5 shillings to get it re-
pairedY God heavenp the magistrate
answered. Don't you see you have not
a moment to loser It's all very we'll
for you to talk Vorster replied. TT is
not your watch that is brokenp At
last, however, he slid it into his pocket
and, with unerring aim, gave the lion
ess the coup de grace"

Saving the Half Cent.

A woman shopper wanted two and a
half yards of white goods. The clerk
showed her two pieces, one for Is
cents a yard, the other IS cents. The
cheaper piece was plenty good enough,
yet the woman bought the more ex-
pensive, piece.
"I'll take this" she said to the clerk
spitefully, $50 your old store won't get
more than is coming to them. When
buying q fraction of yard of any
thing, make it a point never to select
a material that sells at an odd figure
say, Is cents yard. The store simply
shall not make that extra half cent off
me-"
"Oh, no." explained the clerk when
the transaction was finally completed,
''hers is not an unusal case by any
means. Lots of women object to the
store profiting by the extra half pen
MES and always buy so that an odd
figure shall not be split" York
