Roses.

To cover fences climbing roses of
the Rambler variety are the best, of
course though an ever blooming honey
suckle along with the roses gives vari-
ETY. and fragrance. The so called
Baby Rambler blooms long time.
Among the members Of the great rose
family are several that flower more
or less from June till late in autumn,
often till frost backens their buds.
These ever boomers are the ones to
select. Get those also which live out
doors all the year. In the late fall
mulch the rosebushes heavily and leave
them through the winter. In the
spring dig the mulch into the soil
about the bushes and prune them. Aft
err they leaf out stir into the soil
at the roots a tablespoonful Of ground
bone DO this once a month through
spring and summer The bone food IS
also excellent applied in like manner
to other plants.

Plants For the Dooryard.

Hardy perennials and Seeding annu-
ais are easily taken care of, and these
may be selected SO as to give Il sue
cession of blossoms from spring till
winter. The earliest to appear are the
snowdrops and crocus; after them come
the narcissus, peony and SNOWFALL. In
May and June the lovely flag or iris
family arrives, purple, yellow and
white. The exquisite Japanese iris is
finer than our native kind.
In August and September Is the king

chrysunthemum and the cosmos, the
latter an annual Seeding. The faith.

The shape of Il house yard should be
taken into consideration in laying out
the flower planting space. If there is
small square front yard. it is best to
have Il circular flower bed in the cen

ing the bed. Flowers in all cases are
best set off with something green
around them. If there is only long.

mere strip of green, with flowers grow
ing in alternate ribbons. If there is Il

Result of Temperance Wave.

The temperance wave which is pass
ing over western Europe has been the
principal cause of the difficulties which
now beset the French growers. We
must go back to 1875 to find crop
that equaled in abundance that Of
1906. Wine, as a result, became so
cheap that the railways demanded
more for carrying ton, say, from
Benziers or Perpignan to Bordeaux,
than it would sell for in the last
named town. To make matters worse,
the consumption has decreased in
most European countries. In France
itself, the greatest wine-drinking coun-
try in the world, the use of mineral
waters has grown enormously within
the last few years. 1t is now freely
admitted that these beverages are Sc
rious competitors with homegrown
wines. Again, large number of ar
tificial wines have recently been
placed upon the market, and they have
hit the public taste, although they are
not nearly so wholesome or nutritious
as the genuine juice of the wine. All
these things have combined to injure
the grower, and to bring distress upon
him in the midst of plenty.

DRINKING IN INDIA.
Use of Alcoholic Beverages Said to Be
on the Increase.

In a recent issue of the London Tenn
perance Chronicle It is stated that
drinking in India is decidedly on the
increase, and that this increased con-
sumption is largely due to greater IN
diligence in intoxicants by the native
population. It is shown from recent
returns that the revenue from intoxi-
eating liquors consumed in India has
risen from G5,476,OOO in 1903, to G6,-
100000 in 1906. OF the entire popula-
tion of 294, ,361 900, the European ele-
rent is estimated as 10000, and OF
this number 10000 are soldiers of~the
European army who must, in view OF
climatic and other conditions, be con-
sidered of generally sober habits. Ex-
empting 25, 900 more as the wives ana
daughters of soldiers and civilians who
may fairly be considered to use but
little alcohol, there remains IN all
about 100000 Europeans, who are
chiefly engaged in conducting civic al
fairs of the empire, and who are per-
sons of education, and little prone to
excess, which in that country involves
its own swift and complete retribution.
The Royal Army Temperance assocla-
tion branch in India has membership
of 29,9OO, or nearly three-sevenths or
the whole European army. The 62'-
500, 900 Mussulmans spread over the
land are, of course, strict abstainers,
! and contribute nothing to the drink
bill. y
In view of these facts it is concluded
that it is the native population who
are most nearly concerned in the in
creased consumption of alcohol In
recent public address, Surgeon General
Evatt made notable reference to the
increased use of intoxicants among
native races, and pointed a warning
of the danger of allowing this traffic
to proceed further among a people so
markedly excitable as the native pop
ulation of India
The subject thus raised has been
taken into consideration by the Native
Race committee, an organization which
has effected some extremely beneficial
measures in regard to Africa in this
respect. 1t is expected that the extern
sion of the operations of this body to
the eastern empire will shortly take
place and effectually check the prog
ress of an evil so damaging to the
best interests of the native race or
this part of the empire. -

pounding his ribs. 1t contained a
note of hand due 10 years hence, for
81, 100000. He saw the tramp in the
