Query-How may control blossom
end rot" of tomatoes
Ans. Blossom end rot, or "black
rot, as it is sometimes called, is an
almost uncomfortable disease of the
tomato. Pick off the diseased fruit
early in the season, as fast as it ap-
peares, and you will improve matters
somewhat. Any fruit that is at all
affected with this disease is entirely
unfit for use, and may as we'll be de-
stroyed at once. 1t is not advisable to
grow tomatoes on ground that grew
diseased tomatoes the preceding year,
as the disease is transmitted by the
fruit being left on the ground.
Shot Hole Fungus.
Query-What varieties of fruit does
shot hole fungus" attack? How can
it be checked?
Ans.-This disease affects prunes
and gives trouble to some varieties of
cherries. Occasionally it troubles
peach trees. A good, thorough spray
ing with Bordeaux mixture given dur
ing the early part of June, or before
the disease shows itself in the fall
will control it. This disease occurs
both in the east and the west, and may
be treated the same way in either
place,
Cause of Potato Scab.
Query-What is the real cause of
potato scab?
Ans.-The cause of potato scab is
a small, fungus disease whose spores
remain in the ground year after year.
attacking the young tubers at various
stages of their growth. In fact. the
disease is a small plant itself which
grows as a parasite upon the tubers.
In most soils it can be treated with a
formaline solution.
Endive Is Good.
Query-Please tell me something
about winter lettuce" or Endive.
How is it generally served?

A Good Hedge.

Query--Please advise me relative
to the value of the California privet
as a hedge plant. What other hedges
would you suggest for me to try?
Ans. - In our work at the Expert
ment Station, we have found the Cali
fornia privet quite satisfactory. 1t
succeeds remarkably we'll, and where
it can be given fairly good care, we
are able to produce very acceptable
and attractive hedge in from two to
five years. There are number of
other ornamental plants that make
beautiful hedges, such as the Bush
Honeysuckle, the Golden Willow. The
Box, japanese Rose, and if you care
to put UP a trellis. the common Vir-
ginia Creeper is very valuable.

row quite frequently for few weeks.

from four to six inches high. Then,
after the tops are too high to go over,

should have no difficulty in growing
successful crops of potatoes on your
land.

This Is a skeptical age, notwith-
standing the fact that there are many
"easy marks" who can be readily
worked by appeals to their credul
ity. A Eindoo hypnotist out in Ohio
had lively experience owing to the
prevalent doubt as to the genuineness
OF his exploits. He professed to hyp
notize a young girl and bury her in
"A grave in which she was left for nine
days. But certain unbelievers alleged
that tunnel led to the grave, that
the coffin had false bottom and that
the girls pretended hypnotic sleep
without food was fake" So
wrought up were some Of the crowd,
says the Troy (N Y) Times. that
there We're threats of "gun play" and
general commotion. The excitement
calmed down, but while it lasted there
was every prospect of row. The
man from Ohio nowadays much re.
sembles his fellow-American from Mis-.
souri,. He wants to be shown.

1t was Caverley's intention to Sc
lect present for her birthday-no
ordinary, conventional little gift, but
something which would show her that
the selection had required time and
search, something you couldn't see ly-
ing in shop windows or advertised in
the back of magazines, something to
bring the color to her cheeks and the
sparkle to her eyes and cause her to
exclaim, you've rummaged all over
town for 1t, haven't you, you dear
old boy?"
To this end he spent many after
Moons in queer places-pawnbrokers
shops, curio stores and musty base
ments, where odd volumes or first edi-
tions might be brought to light.
He had wellnigh given up further
search and decided to go back to a
little shop uptown and purchase an
hour glass of quantity carved ivory
he hadn't the faintest idea to what
use she could put it-when lucky
chance changed his plans.
He was passing an auction room.
where a red flag Haunted over the.
sidewalk and a shabby man with
leathern lungs bawled forth an an
nouncement that the entire stock OF
treasures inside would be sacrificed
at auction at 2.30, and in the same
breath he invited the passerby to step
In and inspect It. More from idle Gu
riosity than anything else, Caverley
went within. There was the usual
array of vases and chinaware. statu-
cites and rather glaring lamps. He
wandered about, while a little man
with a high pitched voice trotted be-
side him, telling wonderful tales about
every article before which Caverley
made momentary pause.
Delft, sir, genuine Delft" the little
man was saying as he held up some
hideous blue plates, when Caverley in.
terrupted him with an exclamation OF
surprise. His eye had fallen on a
silver hand mirror, and he picked 1t
up and examined it carefully.
THE very thing" he said to him.

guide, How much?'
Everything was to be sold at auc-

gentleman desired 1t very much and

much?"
How much did he think 1t worth to
him? Caverley named price and the
other made haste to take him up. A
few moments later, with his purchase
in his pocket, he was hurrying up the
street.
1t was queer little mirror. The

pletely surrounded him. 1t was the

Glad to Get Back to His Gaze.

A lion broke loose at an electrical
exhibition at Marseilles and made his
way on the stage of the theater, where
ballet was being rehearsed. The
panic among the women of the ballet
when the lion suddenly came into
view was intense. Three of the dan.
GERS, however, were possessed Of more
courage than the rest, and. snatching
off their shoes, they beat the greatly
astonished beast into submission.
When the lion tanner arrived the lion
welcomed him with evident Joy and
allowed himself to be led back to his
cage In the most docile fashion. He
seemed as glad to get away from the
ballet girls as they were to be rid OF
him.

IllTTOT dDOut III his HdnuS, making
jocular comments now and then to
the enwreathed Cupid. Then suddenly
he sat bolt upright with a strange
expression on his face. He had glanced
into the mirror and the reflection he
beheld there was not that of his own
features. He could scarcely believe
his sight. He looked again. The face
he beheld was one from which he
shrank; a strong, firm face 1t might
have been at some time, but now
it was disfigured by hideous scars
He laid the mirror on nearby table
and sprang from his chair. He knew
it was weakness, but for the life of
him he could not help walking over
to the glass on his shaving table and
glancing into 1t. 1t was his own face
that met his gaze, and he was hear
tily ashamed of the sigh of relief he
gave as he saw It.
He returned to his chair and picked
up the mirror. Again he glanced into
1t. This time it was his own square,
cleanshaven face which looked back
at him.

he, and turned the mirror over. The
Cupid favored him with the smile
which was its perpetual attribute, and
at that Caverley laughed easily and
put the mirror in a drawer.
You're not quite so much the ar
ticle | wanted as | took you to be-"
he observed.
But some sort of morbid fascination
about the mirror caused him to take
1t often from the drawer. He came
to look upon 1t with loathing, and

over his better senses that he was
unable to keep his mind from 1t.
When her birthday came, Caverley
took her the hour-giass and made no
mention OF the mirror Indeed, he
spoke of 1t to no one, for he felt an

1t out and turned 1t about until the

Travel.

Traver.
From the days OF Herodotus and
Marco Polo, travel has been recog-
nized as an educative and civilizing
experience. A year on the continent
OF Europe is considered the best pos
sible finishing" course for English
and American youth whose parents
can afford It.; but 1t Is not so COM
monty perceived that great and val
liable advance Is steadily going on in
change Of visitors between north and
south and east and west. 1t Is a
commonplace that the United States
presents great diversity OF climate,
and that 1t has been peopled from
many different nations, of widely vary
Ing habits of life and thought. Such
a diversity of elements united in one
national entity would be great source
OF weakness were 1t not for the con-
stant travel for which Americans are
noted. Much of this is due to the an
tions. The Christian Endeavor So
ciety, the National Educational asso-
ci: ion, the Grand Army, and many
other bodies meet once year, each
time In new place; and special rail.
road rates induce large numbers to
visit cities which they might other
wise never see The local pride OF
those who act as hosts insures full
appreciation of whatever is Of inter,
est in The surroundings; and the in
terchange of hospitality draws people
from the different sections more close
ly together, and gives them an oppor-
tunity to broaden their outlook and
get new points of view. In a smaller
way, hundreds Of trade associations
and fraternal orders are doing the
same thing for their members. The
influence OF 1t is probably greater
than any one can see, declares the
Youths Companion. 1t has demon
strated the fact that hospitality is not
the exclusive possession OF any one
section; that communities which differ
widely I'm their views on many matters
may each have good reason for the
faith that Is in them; and In the
end 1t will greatly help to form and
foster feeling of national solidarity.
Even the gain In mere geographical
knowledge Is something. IL have seen
wonderful crops OF corn and wheat In
my country" said recent western
visitor to the New England coast, but
this Is the first time ! have ever seen
rocks growing ont of the water"

he said, but 1t will be worth $50 to
you when you discover who sold you
the mirror
Some weeks passed and Caverley
studied the mirror in practical way.
He noted that it was of unusual thick
ness, and this aroused his suspicious.
'1'll take It to pieces" said he, and
this he proceeded to do. 1t took con-
siderable time and patience to work
the back loose without damaging the
glass, but, by dint of perseverance,
he managed it. Back of the glass, he
found shallow metal pan. He at
tackled this, and in few moments had
separated 1t from the mirror proper.
The pan removed, the whole matter
was plain. Set slantwise beneath the
beveling on the right-hand side was
an ambrotype of the face he knew
so well. The picture extended per.
haps a third of the distance across the
mirror, and was covered with thick
plate of glass, so that looking squarely
into the mirror, reflection was nor
NAL, but by sloping it to the right
uh'il thC DS "oo hoiihoh'"'s
the face with the scars appeared.
Caverley took the ambrotype to the
light and stood looking at it for some
time.
Whoever you are" said he you're
not an attractive chap, but I'd double
that twenty to find out about you"
The matter was rapidly slipping
from his mind when one day the man.
ager of the auction-room called on
him and brought with him an elderly
gentleman whom Caverley judged
rightly to be lawyer.

they had called was broached, was
the property of a client of mine,
Miss Damon. 1t was sold, after her

MANY years ago her family lived
in the south and there she met a
young physician, who became greatly

Of smallpox broke out, and the doctor
risked his professional reputation In
getting the Damons away and through
the lines Of the shotgun quarantine
which had been established. He re-
mained there and eventually came
down with the disease, which left him
with horrible scars Upon his re-.
covery, he wrote Miss Damon telling
her of this and she replied in a letter
filled with expressions of deepest sym.
pathy; scars of the skin, she wrote,
could not mar the soul, and bade him
come to her, but, somehow, the letter
miscarried and he never received It.

her saying he should go abroad to
bury himself somewhere in Europe.
She was right, he said, to consider
him as one dead. He sent the mirror
at the same time. There wasn't much

Caverley, with great patience, put
the mirror together again, and that
evening he took it to the lady for
whom he had bought 1t. and told her
the story. And she. being a sympa.

THE ASCENT OF MAN.

He stood upon the earth, and turned
To gaze sky and land and sea,
While In his ear the whisper burned.
"BehoId, these all belong to thes!"
wondrous call to conquests new!
o thrill Of blood! o Joy Of soul!
peaks with ever-wide ring view!
o race, with still receding goal!
- He heard; he followed, evermore
Stumbling and falling, wandering far;
Yet still advancing, while before
His footsteps shone the guiding star.
Until he stood with regal brow
No more, the primal sod,
A creature yet ungrown, but
Lord Of two worlds and child Of God.
