TRANSPLANT SEEDLINGS
So THEY WILL LIVE
Successful Transferring Depends
Upon Careful Planting and
Keeping Earth Moist.

Trauspianting seedlings Involves no

Is essential. For not only viii it pre-
vent their willing. but soil that is wet
holds gently around the tiny roots.
Before beginning the work OF trans
planting, a trowel, Il canful OF water
and decision as to the precise spot OF
transfer must be arranged. Before
the seedlings are uprooted the soil
around them must be Watered, allow
ing the moisture to sink in, The sur
rounding dirt should be damp. but not
muddy. Then the trowel should be
placed about an inch from the young
plant. which can be gently lifted. TAX

from 1t. With this treatment ii is not
necessary that each root should at
once be carried to its new home, for
several may be taken together. II
the sun is shining, newspaper may
be laid over the plants as soon as they
are taken from the ground.
When a sufficient number has been
lifted they must be taken to the new
bed. For this transportation a low

water must be at hand TO use and
as many holes dug as there are roots
Then the young plants must be taken
in the right hand, and with the left
the can tilted so the hole viii be filled
with water. While II is still minia-
ture well the root must be put in and
the soil pushed in. In planting a mis-
take often made by amateurs liz fail

has been worked fine 1t would be inn

for growth and nourishment
After the soil has been put on it
should be patted down vigorously with
the trowel and then with fingers out
stretched a woman should press down
hard with her hands. This must be
done with each root.
Transplanting is always more likely
to be successful when done on a cloudy
day. or as the sun is setting. and when
the heat Is gone. II for any reason
it should be necessary to make the
change during the day, the plants,
when put into their new places, must
be protected by newspapers. otherwise
the sun may kill them. Such an inn
prcvised shade may be required for
several days. or until the roots have
begun to grow. They must be watered
daily.

History OF The Red Gross Seal

Red Cross Christmas seals were
first known as charity stamps when
they were used for soldiers relief lunds
in Boston during the Civil War.
This method of raising money was
not followed in America for the gen
Grafton following the war, although it
was followed in many European coun-
tries. There are hundreds of types in
use in the different parts OF the world.
These seals were first used i'll the
fight against tuberculosis in Norway
and Sweden in 1904.
Owing to the interest OF Jacob Rils,
the Delaware Anti tuberculosis Asso-
citation, headed by Miss Emily P. Bis
sell and the Red Cross Society OF
Delaware combined in isuing tubcr-
culosis stamp.
SO successful was this campaign that
nearly $1,000 was realized, and the
next year, i'll 1908, the American Red
Cross was induced to issue national
Red Cross suberculosis stamp. From
this, sale, $IS5,ooo was realized. that
amount being almost doubled in 1909
This wear, ,,or> the first time, the sale
is organized on a, comprehensive basis
taking in all parts OF rne Oniteo
States. A million for tuBcsssculosis WORK
is confidently expected, y,
10000 OF these stamps have peer
placed on sale throughout the UnItee
States. Let us all help in this worthy
campaign.
The stamps are on sale at the office
of the NEWARK POST.

Speed On Main Street

For years the leniency OF the Coun-
Gil and the long straight stretch on
Main street fll nisl1ing splendid

The snow has come in sufficient
quantity, without the annoyances OF
drifts, and the horsemen OF the neigh
borhood are revelling in this sport of
winter time.
The offer OF silver cup for the
animal showing the most speed while
the snow lasts has added zest to the
sport.
The race that has attracted most
interest is that between Della March,

A CHRISTMAS CAROL
BY PHILLIPS BROOKS

80 little town OF Bethlehem!
How still we see thee lie;
Above the deep and dreamless sleep
The 81 cnt stars go by;
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The lasting Light:
The hopes and iears OF all the years
Are met in thee tonight.
For Christ is born of Mary:
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love.
O morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth;
And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to men on earth.
How silently, how silently,
The wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven.
No ear may hear his coming,
But in this world OF sin,
Where meek souls will receive Hii'
still,
The dear Christ enters in.
20 holy Child OF Bethlehem
Descend to lis, we pray;
Cast out our sin and enter i'll,
BE born III us to-day.
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tel
. come to us. abide with us,
Our Lord Emmanuel"

World Loved Hymn OF Chri.tmastide

As our Christmas day draws to a
close, there comes ull in the excite
ment OF joy and merriment that forms
a part Of the earlier hours. The sof
tened rays of twilight lengthen DER
the hearth, bringing to many desire
for the quieter and deeper pleasures OF
the day. In many families the sweet
est hour @. this sacred time is that
W. ch takes the form of the singing of
Christ,,n ,nas carols--a practice that rep
resents, many Of the happy memories
of bygonc Christmas time.
OF ali these sweet old hymns which
appeal so to the hea.s. probably none H
is SO widely loved as m tender ~
Little Town OF Bethlehem n written oy
Phillips Brooks--a man so f1nc~a Win
the spirit OF love, heipfulness and SYN
pathy toward his fellow meul
From IS61-1S6o Phillips Brooks was
the rector OF Holy Trinity Church,
Philadelphia
In the early part of that pastorate
he visited Europe and about Christ
mas time, the Hoy Land
He went. TO make cquAmtance
with the soul OF that land where so
much that is strange and memorable
and forever beautiful has come to pass
to walk quietly and humbly, without
much disputation or talk, in fellow
ship with the spirit that haunts those
hills and vsles under the influence OF
that deep and lucent sky; to feel that
ineffabe charm which breathes from
its mountains, meadows and streams -
And he found just that-out- Of doors
beneath the stars.
In a Christmas letter to home he
wrote: 1--WE rode to the field where
they say the shepherds saw the Star
AS we passed, the shepherds were still
keeping watch DER their hocks,' or
leading them to the field"
1t is not definitely known when the
| words OF this hymn were written, but
we may believe they began to sing
themselves into the heart of the writer
| on this December ride.
We can picture him in some Christ
| mas season that followed his return
| sitting i'll his quiet study and musing
| over the picture presented by that lit
| tie Eastern town overhung by The
| wonderful liquid stars. Then the
| words of this sacred poem must have
surged over him, filled with such fer
| vent love and human longing" ant
| gratitude to God for his greatest gif,
to needy world.
The Sunday School of Holy Trinity
| was preparing for their Christmas en-,
tertainment when the completed poem
! was handed to the organist, Mr.
Lewis H. Redner, who Immediately
composed the music to which these
| words have become SO well-known.
OF words and music Mr.. Rednel
| said: Neither Mr.. Brooks nor my.
self ever thought the carol or the music
to it would live beyond that Christmas
of 1868"
OF widely different rating are the
words Of a recent writer: Not since
the angel song of Glory to God in the
| Highest, and on Earth, Peace, Coco
| Will Toward Men, echoed among the
| Judean hills when the Christ chilt
came to EARTH has been sung more
popular hymn than this exquisite carol
whose author gained his inspiration
directly from the plains of Bethle
