Anime and Perennial Phlox.

The moss pink" or PhloX sublatta is rep
resentative of the Alpine group of phloxes
1t is a moss-like evergreen with purple OF
rust-colored flowers, having a dark center
When in full bloom the flowers are so dense

PROSTATE habit of growth. forming dense
matted tufts and Is seldom more than six
inches high.
These plants may be started from SEED
sown In the spring and they root very
freely from cuttings, which may be OBJ
tanned by sprinkling a portion of the bed
with sandy soil in midsummer and working
it wei; down around the stems so roots
may grow from the stems into the soil
thus supplied. The following spring these
plants may be separated and set out where
wanted They bloom very freely early in
the summer, and take period of rest later
followed by a second season of bloom which
is not as dense as the first.
Perennial phloX has a great many varie-
ties and a great range of color. 1t is
taller than the other groups Its season
of bloom is late summer and autumn. In
many localities it will last several weeks,
while in hot. dry places it blooms shorter
time. 1t is propagated from seed, best
sown in September so the plants may be-
come we'll established and ready for bloom
ing the following summer. A more COM
mon method of propagation is by cuttings
or division of plants. Plants may usually
be obtained from florists in the spring and
this Is more convenient than propagating
them unless a great number is desired. The
plants bloom best when about three years
old, and will thrive for many years with
out much attention. The clumps increase
in size, and after a few years should be
outside being separated in the fall and
transplanted.

steam will soften the mucus quicker
than anything else.
Should this not relieve the child quickly

given every fifteen minutes until the
baby vomits. and no time should be lost

possible.

At the same time have the infants feet
in bath of mustard in proportion to two
tablespoonfuls of mustard to a gallon of
water. Keep the baby's feet and legs in
this until they are quite red, and If he
can swallow give him a dose of castor oil.
If the attack is a very severe one towels
wet in hot mustard water may be wrapped
about the body, being careful that the
little one is not chilled in renewing them.
He should be kept fiat in bed.
A wise precaution is to have plenty of
hot water ready. that if on his arrival,

never be forgotten that unless properly
treated it may be fatal.

Owing to the sudden changes of

mediately to hot applications and simple
medicines. and so may be treated without

THE SoUTH's FUTURE BRIGHT.
DR.. Alderman Discusses Spirit of the
Present Generation.

Present Generation.
MONTCLAIR. N. j.. March 23.-Dr. A.
E. Alderman. president of the University
of Virginia, addressed the Outlook. Club in
Montclair Club Hall last night on The
Spirit of the South" He spoke, in part as
follows:
1.-THE southern boy of this generation has
found himself at last in American life and
made himself at home at the moment
when the republic has most need Of his
tempered strength. He is a fine, hopeful
figure, this southern boy. whom l know
SC well, of strong, high political instincts.
facing tardily a fierce industrialism and a
new democracy with it's grandeurs and
temptations, his ambitions and dreams
moving about them and yet holding fast
through the conservatism in his blood to
the noble conception of public probity and
Scorn of diShonOr
There may be something parochial, but
there is also something fine and impressive
in the almost Hebraic feeling of the peo-
pie of the southern states that their sec
tior. has something high and precious and
distinctive In manhood and leadership to
contribute to American civilization. 1t can
lot be mere boasting, so run their dreams,
that it is the logical right of their land to
bring forth out of her travail and her
agony something fair and good of her
own likeness and pattern, the old refined
tarnish. beaten by fiercer, freer civic forces
into finer and subter form.
1.-The spirit of his fathers, brave and
steadfast men, who held firm and did not
compromise ought to be in him and shall
be in him. SOrdidness and commerciaism
will not wholly submerge him and wear
away his f1neness. He will love honor
more than life, and loyalty more than
gold. worldly modern, a clear-eyed man
brea thing the breath of freedom. he will
reach mems hearts and he will control
mems wills, not by machinery. but by the
strength of integrity and sincerity and
their faith in his words And SO when the
age of moral warfare shall succeed to the
age of passionate gain-gettipg; when blind
social forces have wrought some tangle of
inequality and injustice, of hatred and
suspicion; when calculation and combina-
ton can only weave the-web more fierce
ly; when the whole people in some hour of
national peril shall seek for the man of
heart and faith, who will not falter and
fail, in the sweet justice of God, hither
they shall turn for succor as they once
turned to simple Virginia planter to
free them from a stupid king and a stub
born parliament across the seas

How Birds Learn to Sing.

Do young birds learn their songs by d.
rect Initiation of their parents or is the
power of song an innate quality? Some OBJ
servations made by w. HI. Hudson on a
species of tinamou tRhynchotus rufescens)
throw some light on the question. This
species has a peculiar and characteristic
song or call of its own. and according to
Mr.. Hudson's observations. 1t does not re-
quire to learn 1t. A young bird was taken
from the nest when Just breaking the shell
and brought up In a house where IT. could
never have had the chance of hearing its
parents. Yet long before 1t was, full grown
1t would retire to dark corner of the
room and and give its characteristic song
in great perfection. Here the song must
have been innate. The experiments of the
species were reared under linnets, and
learned and sang the linnet song instead
of their own. suggest, on the other hand.
that the young bird learns by direct imita-
tfon.
