Transplantipg,

AS the time approaches for removing
young plants from the flats in the
house or from the hotbed outside, an
extra amount Of airing must be given
to harden them. Plants which have
started indoors or under glass are
more or less tender and will not he
able to thrive under the rigor of early
spring planting without treatment
They must become hardened, or accli-
mated, to the new conditions.
At least a week before transplanting
remove the sash entirely from the bot
bed during the day and allow abund
ance OF ventilation at night, except
when heavy frost threatens. This will
give the plants practically an outside
temperature for the greater part of the
day and they will grow stronger and
harder thereby. At this time also less
watering should be given to check
growth and make the plants more re-
sistant to the cold All plants can en-
dure lower degree OF temperature I'M
der dry than under moist conditions.
Most seedlings are transplanted di-
rect from the fat or hotbed to the open
garden when they have attained n
height of from four to six inches or
more. When facilities are at hand n
to a cold frame which is the same as
a hotbed without the heat. In the cold
frames they become accustomed to low
err temperature and are still protected
from frost Of nights and on cold days
A still better way is to transplant the
young plants at the appearance of
their second or third set of true leaves
to two inch flower pots.

BRUNSWICK, Me-. Oct. 4.-Catho-
lies from all parts of the State are
here attending a convention to con-
slider the question OF dividing the Cath
Ollie diocese with the object of having
"a French Bishop.
1t is cInimed that 10000 of the 12,-
600 Maine Catholics are French, and
that it is no more than right that they
should have bishop of their own.
The French say that there are many
reasons why this should be- granted.
In the first place their numerical
numbers give them tchs right, and
that interference with their schools
snd other matters personal to them
has made dissatisfaction.

to Mr.. NJ. D. Orr, who continued in the
business until 1900, at which time Mr..
Pople took over the entire stock, be-
coming sole owner OF the establish.
ment. Up until this time the business

CONTROLLER STATUS.
Supreme Court Says He May Act a

Washington. Dec. 6-That the Controller
OF the Currency is an agent of the govern
ment. with power TO examine into the af-
fairs OF national hanks. was decided by
the Supreme Court OF the United States
to-day in the case of the United States
agt. John A. COrbett and others in favor
OF the government.
Corbett was the cashier of the First Ma
tional Bank OF L.adysmith. Wis. and he
and others OF the bank were indicted on
the charge OF making a false entry in a
report to the Controller. the prosecution
being under the statutes which prohiblt
any effort TO deceive bank examiner.
The United States District Court for the
western District of Wisconsin. I'm which
court the indictment was found. dismissed
the complaint on the ground that the Con-
trOller was not an examiner, as contem-
plated by the statute. The Supreme Court
failed TO sustain that view. The courts
decision was announced by Justice White
who said the Controller is an agent OF ths
highest character.
