GROWING THE AZALEA.
Varieties of This Beautiful Plant Found
In Many Countries.

w mduJ OodUtFtSos
The hardy a~zaleas, cultivated in
English gardens and now receiving
the attention of ~cultivators both in
Europe and this country. originated
from the Mediterranean Azalea ponti-
ca, the North American and the Chi
nese and japanese azaleas. These
have beer much intererossed, and the
respective types are now connected by
so many intermediate forms hat it is
not easy to classify them under their
respective species.
They were first popularity known as
American azaleas and subsequently,,
after they had received much atten-
ton In Belgium, became known as
Client azaleas. Now they are being
cultivated so largely In Japan that
they are frequently termed japanese
~azaleas. A collective term for them is
hardy hybrid azaleas. Turkey has a
beautiful native azalea, which is In
rthe form OF a decfuuuus s6fnr W.T.
brilliant yellow flowers. You often
read Of this beautiful flower In de-
scriptions Of Turkey.
Our native azalea, with its wealth of
bloom. varying In tint from white to
blush pink, rose, red and scarlet, is
suggestive both In shape and color
and also in fragrance Of the honey
suckle, under which name, with the
prefix wild, 1t is commonly known.
While the wild azaleas are not as
c+rfl-{poI1 hrtltion% oo tho .nn0c tho
florists offer us, they possess a fra
GRANGE and delicacy that we find en-
tirely lacking in the cultivated ones
As the white honeysuckle another
American species (Azalea viscosa) Is IA
military known In Its native home,
where 1t Is chiefly found in swamps
neal the coast in the northern and
eastern states. This materially differs
from the other varieties of native aza-
leas In that it produces It's flowers aft
er the leaves have fully expanded,
and, though the plant is beautiful, it
does not present such a mass Of color
ing as the other varieties. The shades
have not so wide a range, being con-
fined to white or yellow with a rosy

large tufts and are very fragrant
Some of the japanese azaleas have
been cultivated to a great extent, and
some of these varieties at the present
time excel all others In size of the in
dividual flowers; but as is the case
with all the cultivated varieties, they
are entirely lacking In fragrance.
However, they are extremely hand
some and are imported by the many
thousands for the Easter season.
When q purchases an azalea from
the florist it is usually In the height
of it's beauty, being a mass of bloom.
Now, the thing desired is to keep 1t
In this condition as long as possible.
In order to do this keep the plant In
as cool a place as possible and well
Watered.

days of the Roman republic. and the
leading meu of that time were much
concerned about II.
CASTOR Boissier OF the French acad-
envy In his interesting work on "Cice-
no and His Friends thus speaks of
the growth of woman's influence In
Rome:
"In a country where the family was
respected, az It was at Rome, women
could not fail to be of much impor-
lance. 1t was impossible that their
influence, which was already so great
within the house, should not attempt
to show itself outside, and the honora-
BILE place they held In private life must
one day tempt them to invade public
life also. The ancient Romans, SO
jealous OF their authority, had the
consciousness of this danger and neg

against II. We know how they affect
ed to treat ONE There was no sort
of unklnd remarks they did not make
about them They got them attacked
on the stage and Knocked them even
In their political speeches"
Cato probably vas the most bitter
enemy OF the new woman of his
time. He watched the growth Of her
influence In fear for the effect which
It was likely to have upon the state
Of society and the government of the
republic.

Cherry, H., Nov. 23-Efforts to

in two parts of the underground

Rescuers coming to the surface az

discovered in a newly explored pol

The significance of this is that the

second year of his pastorate, in Oc-
tober 1905, plans for a new church
edifice and also plans for raising
money for its erection were adopted
by the Official Board. In May 1906
the work of enlarging and moderniz-
ing the church and adding Sunday
school rooms was begun. The work
progressed rapidly and the summer of
1907 saw the building inclosed and
the Sunday school rooms completed.
This part of the building was opened

At this time $4,000 had been paid
into the treasury and a mortgage of
$4,000 and note OF $1,000 placed
against the property with unpaid bills

% was subscribed.
Following this opening, the work OF
completing the church was carried Oh
for a short time when 1t was found
that the church was becoming too
deeply involved to admit of larger
outlay until money could be gathered
into the treasury. Therefore, the
work was stopped on the building

M. E. CHURCH HISTORY
Paper Read BY A. N. Torrance at
Last Nights Services

The history of the Bennington
Methodist Episcopal Church properly
begins with a sermon preached here
by Freedom Garrettson in Septem-
Der 1892.
The first Methodist organization in
this section of the country was that
of Ash Grove in Salem, near Cam
bridge, N Y, when Phillip Embury
came from Johnstreet, N. Y, where
he had established a Methodist So
ciety and began as a local preacher,
a work which resulted in the organi-
Zation of society in that place in
ITS. The society grew for a number
of years under his ministry until 1887
when they ask for preacher, which
was sent from the Conference that
met that year in Philadelphia.
This enterprising, faithful servant
of the Lord made appointments in
many homes in the country round
about resulting in the establishment
of the Pittstown Circuit in 1892, one
of the oldest Circuits of this section
In that same year, Freedom Gar
rettson came as an itinerant through
this section and preached in the
Court House in Bennington Centre.
Again in August 1895 Bishop Francis
Asbury preached a sermon in a
dwelling in the east part of the town
at the home of one designated as
Brother D In his diary (supposed to
have been a Durham or Downs.
