New York, March 27.-The intercol-
legiate football rules committee, after a
lengthy meeting on Friday and a session
to-day. wound up its deliberations without
making any very startling changes. in the
regulations for the game. SO many
things were discussed IN the meeting
that undoubtedly the forward pass and
possible alterations in il we're considered,
but Il is equally certain that It was found
impossible to harmonize the conflicting
views OF the committeeman. Therefore
the only annexation made in connection
with the forward pass rule was 10 clear
up a minor point about which players
may receive the bah on such a pass.
Whether or not such a condition should
be construed into a victory FOR the
standpatters in the West the secretary
OF the committee, z. K. Hall. Of Dart
mouth, did not feel called upon to say.
Those who have been objectiag 70 that
part Of the forward pass rule which
makes Il necessary for the ball to go
I'VE yards outside the point where il was
put In play, and also the penalty regu-
lations on the failure to complete such
q pass apparently did not suggest any
thing that was considered worth while
against the objections made by the
others.

HUNTING A TIGER.

An English missionary to British
Guiana penetrated a few years ago to
the remote settlements of those tropi-
cal wilds, where he was entertained
by a half-breed settler. He reports
one story told him there on rainy
day. The story is Of interest for its
dialect, as we'll as for its adventure.
Hanging over the fence about the
cabin was e huge tiger skin. We had
arrived only a few days after the ami
NAL was killed. Tell us about it,"
said, for like the Athenians CT old,
we had nothing else to co just then
but to tell or to hear some new thing.

LAYING OUT THE LILAC.

One of the first shrubs to blossom
in the spring will be the lilac, which is
deservedly among the most popular
of plants. 1t may well be called
queen of shrubs" and is favorite
because of it's remarkable hardihood,
the snowy clusters of it's abundant
and fragrant blossoms and it's pa
tience under cultural abuse.
The common lilac (syringia vul
garis) is the most common in the
gardens, and from it have sprung a
large number of snowy forms which
are grown in parks by more expert
gardeners. While the lilac grows in
almost any soil, to obtain the best re-
suits it should be planted in rich,
we'll drained soil, somewhat heavy
with a little clay in it if possible.
The Amoor lilac is one of the more
snowy varieties which should have
more general favor. 1t is tall, slen-
der shrubs, ten to twelve feet in
height, which unfolds its leaves very
early in the spring and produces large
clusters of yellowish white flowers
very early in June. 1t retains it's
deep green foliage we'll through the
season.
The Persian lilac is the lowest
growing variety, which is we'll known
in this country. 1t grows from four
to seven feet in height, and has very
slender branches, which form c grace
full outline. The flowers are pale puEz
pie, and there is also a white flower
ing form. Star.

CORNES CANADENSIS.

The dogwoods are, with but one
exception, trees and tall shrubs, and
this exception is a low growing and
extremely pretty plant every hardy
plantsman admires. The Canadians
call it bunch berry, and it has two
distinct values in the garden, one as
spring Towering plant, another as a
berried plant in autumn. In early
spring one gets a good display of ex-
quisitely formed white flowers that
are modelled on the line of anemone,
and they are borne on PROSTATE
woody stems a few inches. In au-
tumn the leaves color good yellow,
and the berries good red, and there
is more beauty in it's autumn garb
than one considers possible in so low
ly a plant. 1t wants using to good
advantage, however, and one must
group it in some quantity-forming
a torrent" in the cooler positions of
the garden. In such form it is ad
mira News.

WHEN TO PICK PEACHES.

j. H. Hale, the peach grower of
Georgia and Connecticut, tells ins
Rural New Yorker when to pick
peaches for distant shipping. He
says: Neither by size nor feeling
can you tell anything about it, but
just lift up the branches and look at
the under or shady side of the peach.
In white-fieshed sorts like the Car
man and Belle of Georgia when the
shady side nearest to the stem end
begins to take on a Whitish or cream
color in place of the green color, then
the tcritter' is ready, and you can
pull it; you want to get them good
and solid and firm. In the yellow
varieties, the green hue will begin to
turn to a lemon-yellow, and it is
ready to be picked. Above all things,
do not have anybody feeling your
fruit; that will make a brown or
bruised spot little later on. Use
your eyes when taking them from the
trees, and after they get in the
baskets you are ali right. Be sure
they are not soft enough for good eat
ing when they come off the trees, or
you will be up against loss"

RASPBERRY ANTHRACNOSE.

What is the trouble with my rasp-
berry vines? The leaves die and
drop off as though they had been cut.
Last year the vines did not die until
berries were half grown; then they
commenced to turn yellow at or near
the end of the canes. Only the pre-
ceding years growth is affected each
year. Is there a remedy for this
pest? If so, what is ito. r. B.
Answer-It was impossible to de-
termine from the small twig you sent
what the trouble is with your rasp-
berry canes, but anthracnose is most
likely the disease that affects them.
Cut off the diseased limbs and burn
them, and spray with Bordeaux mix
ture early next spring. This disease
is very common, both on raspberry
and blackberry canes, and is very de-
structive. 1t propagates by spores,
and it is very important that the dis
eased stems be burned so as to de-
stroy the spores, and thus prevent the
the spread of the disease the next
season.-Indiana Farmer.

NICK.

1 am going to tell you about my
cat Nick. He is all black, with the
exception of one little white spot on
his neck.
There are a number of trees near
our house, and consequently many
sparrows. Last Saturday while moth
er and I were on the veranda Nick
came up the steps and began to rub
against me. I took no notice of him
until mother exclaimed: "Why, Nick
has bird in his mouth" 1 took the
bird away and whipped him severely.
The bird was still living, SO mother
wrapped him up nice and warm. He
was a little bird, so 1 think probably
he was learning to fly when Nick
caught him.
In the afternoon the bird was hop.
ping around as lively as ever. After
he had eaten some bread and milk
began to think he had been more
frightened than hurt. That night my
brother made Dick (for that was
what I had named him) bed in a
basket. He hoped in and nestled
down.
The next morning, when 1 went to
see how my little bird was, found
him dead I think probably he had
been hurt mere seriously than I
ought.-Janet N. Murray, in the
New York Tribune.
