How plants Grow.

plants take nourishment from the
air through their leaves and from the
earth through their roots The car
bon which they take in from the at
pnosphere is the principal element IN
their structure. The green colorlng
matter in the leaf with the assistance
of sunlight mixes this carbon win
water taken in through the roots ana
transforms them into starch ana sugar
for the use of the plant,
Plants cannot take solid food. they
have to drink in the mineral elements
from the soil after they have been
dissolved in water. The richest sol
will starve a plant if there is no.
sufficient moisture to dissolve th'
necessary elements and carry theh
into the rootlets.
y These are scientific facts. VIVA
do they mean to the practical farmer
1. That the roots and leaves OF
plant are its mouth and stomach ant
are essential to it's development. ~
not injure them.
2. That plants should be glvel
apace to insure sufficient air and sur
light
d. That abundance of soil waite
must be stored and saved for the US
of the plant.

Montcaim,s RurlaI place.

After having been forgotten Tor
many years the burial place of Mont
calm the French commander of Que
hec when it was captured by Wolfe
In 1853 has been rediscoYered. After
the famous battle in which the com
handlers of the hostile forces lost their
lives Montcalm was buried in a shell
torn grave in the Ursuline chapel IN
Quebec There was no table to denote
the exact spot, and before a generation
had passed there was much specula-
ton as to the probable locality OF
Montcalm's resting place. There still
lives in the Ursuline convent now
aver a nun who is more than 80 years
Of age. A few years during her novl-
tate in the convent were passed under
the superiority of La Mere de st. lg-
mace, who, as a girl, had herself STOOD
beside the shallow grave into Whlcn
the remains OF the great French gen
eral were lowered. BY La Mere de st
Ignace the incident was told and the
exact spot pointed out, more than Y
years ago. Subsequent investigation
4 has verified the old nuns story. The

the panels OF an oaken door, the hur
