Hannah More and Her Time.

Nowadays few people probably read
the works of Miss Hannah More, but
in her own time, says the London Spec
tator, they had a tremendous circulation,
and. at any rate, she was remunerated
for her efforts on a scale that is cal
culated to make budding writers of the
present generation open their eyes with
astonishment and sigh for similar treat
ment. Augustine Birrell, in one of his
delightful essays, has recorded the fact
that he got rid of Hannah More's writ
ings by burying them deep down in his
garden, and he expressed the fervent
hope that they might never be disturbed.
Yet for her novel. Coelebs in Search of
Wife," which was issued in 1909, she
obtained $4,000 in a single year, and still
retained the copyright in her own hands.

Home Gardening Must be Persistent.

The possibilities of the home garden
are being exploited as offering a solution
of the problem of living incident to the
high cost of food products. 1t is assert
ed that home garden we'll titled Will at
least partially remove the difficulties,
and it is stated as evidence of this that
last year a Long Island woman who cul-
tivated a plot of land fifty by one hun
dred feet in area raised over 500 pounds
Of tomatoes, several bushels Of string
beans, asparagus enough to supply her
table every day during the season for
that esculent, one hundred quarts OF
strawberries, two and one-half bushels Of
potatoes, egg plants, peppers, onions,
spinach. radishes, lettuce, cabbages and
grapes These products were consumed
by her and her family during the sum-
mer. and also canned and put down
in other ways for winter use.
This return on patch no larger than
is available on many city lot is very
satisfactory when measured in dollars
and cents. Greens are generally low
in price during the growing season, but
nevertheless the purchase of garden
products constitutes quite an item in the
family expense account. The cultivation
of back yards spaces is therefore worth
while But those who undertake it
should remember that the work must be
begun as early as possible and continued
with persistency during the summer, up
to the first killing frosts of autumn.
Home gardening is always general in
the spring. when the first warm days
invite people out of doors and the spring
odor of the soil tempts them into the cul-
tivation of flowers and vegetables. But
when the sultry days of June make gar
dening in back yards matter of real
labor. there is relaxation of effort which
results in surrender to the eyer-ready
weeds of gardens which were started
with high hopes in the promising days of
spring.
To be successful in the home garden
one must be ready to work in the heat
of the summer. in cultivating the soil for
the reduction of weed pests, and in wa
tering the vegetables and fruits whel
fhe rainfall is inadequate Neglectfu'
house gardening always results in ute
failure with the loss of the money ex
pended for seeds.

GERMANY AND CANAnrAu

A dispatch from winn;nao AZ,

porCs or that cereal" The recen+ oa
Justment of the trade relations with
1erhany has made it possible to carry
on Canadian-German trade viii
11ucn de"er restrictions than in the
past and considerable DEVELOPMENT of
'rdue between the two countries is
now certain. The great men of tha

SITUATION in this country now, and
tnere Is consequently the deenest in
eeres1 IN every feature that will tend

the anxiety as to where the wheat Is

Tlon. The United States will be forced
as Germany is to look to the wheat
nelds OF Canada. One province alone
raised last year one-eighth as much
as the entire production of the limited
States, and but twelfth of the wheat
area has yet been touched. The Amer
leans VINO nave gone to Canada, are to-
day reaplng the benefit of the demand
1or Canadian wheat and they will con-
t1nue to join in the benefits thus
reached for great many years, Splen-
did yields are reported from the farms
of that country, and from land that
the Government gives away in 100
acre blocks, and from other lands that
have been purchased at from SIP to
$l5 an acre. John Munter, near Eye
brow, Saskatchewan, a former resi-
dent of Minnesota, says:
Last fall got over 80 bushels of
wheat to the acre and had 80 acres of
1t; also 20 acres spring breaking on
which had flax of which I got almost
20 bushels per acre. Had 20 acres in
oats and got 70 bushels per acre, and
500 bushels potatoes on one and three
quarter acres, and can therefore safely
say that I had fine crop and am
we'll satisfied with my homestead"
He is considered but a small farmer,
but he will be one of the big farmers,
some of these days. There are many
others, hundreds of others, whose
yields were beyond this, and whose
average under crop was vastly greater
The story of the experience of Ameri-
can farmers in the Canadian West is
a long one. The time to go, would
appear to be now, when splendid selec-
lions may be made, and where land
can be purchased at prices that will
be doubled in a couple of years.

MURDER[SS DYING

Stockton, CAL. Jan. 29.-The sec

victed of having murdered Albert N.
Mcvicar, her former husband, four
years ago. is scheduled to begin here
next week. During her long confine-
ment In jail the woman has develop

been reported to be in serious con-
dition. Whether her trial will begin
next week or be indefinitely post
poned will depend upon the reports
of the physicians who have attended
her.
The crime for which Mrs. LIE Doux
was once tried and sentenced to death
attracted attention throughout the
country. McVicar, her alleged victim,
is said to have threatened to make
trouble between the woman and her
second husband, LIE Doux, whom she
had married in the belief that Nc
Vicar was dead. In order to put Nc
Vicar out of the way she is alleged
to have lured him to her room and
killed him by administering poison in
his coffee. The body Of the victim
was shipped in trunk to San Fran
cisco, where its discovery by en-
ployes of the railroad company led
to the arrest and conviction of the
alleged murderess.

The Secret of Bronze.

1t has been supposed that the an
clients had some method of hardening
bronze tools the secret Of which has
been lost. Professor Gowland Of the
British Institute of Metals says that
the ancient bronzes were very impure.
SO that their hardness could not have
been due. as sometimes assumed. to
their exceptional purity. On the other
hand. inasmuch as modern bronzes by
careful hammering can be made as
hard as the ancient ones. the legend
Of lost art in bronze hardening seems
