The Chinese have saying, eff you only have three loaves of bread, sell one and huy lily In that language lily means flower or blossom. How true that broverb is, for the beauty loving side of our nature must be fed as we'll as the material
 Flowers are elevating in every sense A person who spends much time with them, working, gazing into their pure faces, has little desire to repeat scandal There is a soul in every leaf" Like children they know when we love them and respond to each attention. No self respecting person would go abroad in ragged garments, so why let your home pre- sent itself to the public eye with a ragged setting? Like apples of gold in pictures of silver" so is the we'll kept lawn with beautiful flowers. No one knows the far reaching effect of the home, the passerby may have la tent ambitions aroused by it's beauty, and rise, step by step, to higher life =: &ftH
 We grow too fe wbulbs in our flow CT gardens. They should be made a glowing mass of color in early spring by numbers of daffodils, tulips, hy- acinths and narcissus.
 Bulbs for Amateurs.
 The novice will have as good suc- cess as the florist, if good quality of bulbs are bought. In all the list there is none so easily cultivated and so certain to bloom as the paper white narcissus They should not be planted in the open but used for forcing. They can be grown in earth or water but come to maturity much more quickly in water. One hundred best quality bulbs can be purchased for $2.00. If these are planted at intervals of ten days or two weeks, in bowls of wa 'CA, CASluOCQ lIOIll tuc Al6AC 1Ol oS'7 eral days then brought to the window in warm room the grove twill be re- warded by a success of blooms all through the winter months. Do not buy double hyacinths or narcissus, single varieties are more beautiful and do not blight.
 The so-called Chinese lily is of no value. Golden Spur. Empress and Poeticus are varieties of narcissus that are best and once established will increase rapidly. Tritelia is bulb that is cheap, easily grown out doors or in the house and is very pro life, sending up large numbers Of starry porcelain blue white flowers. There are many others but the above named are excellent for the beginner.

Vines.

Every one should plant vines, like Charity they cover a multitude or shortcomings. One of the chief beau- ties of old England is the ivy-covered wall which the tourist sees every where. The ruined castle which would otherwise be a blot on the landscape is made beautiful by the encirclng arms of this same ivy.
 Our churches and other public buildings should be covered with the ampelopsis vechii, a species of ivy which sheds its leaves in autumn.
 Now is the time to plant cypress seed. It flourishes best in warm earth. but likes a good deal, of mols- tnre. Various species of Clematls are very attractive. Paniculata makes a beautiful vine at all tlmes' winter and summer. Purple wisteria has only to be seen to be loved.

If seeding is desired instead of the turf or Bermuda roots, they should never be placed until the hot weather sets in as Bermuda seed will not germinate when the ground is cold
 After the grass starts if a perfect lawn is desired, all other grass and weeds will have to be eliminated by pulling them up with the hands.
 Bermuda will stand world of stable fertilizer and in order to keep the surface of the lawn smooth and nice the fertilizer should be put on when it is perfectly dry and swept into the grass, this, of course, brings on muscular trouble, but it has been making a nice lawn is not a joke, but hard reality and like all other good things can only be attained by con- stant care When above instructions are obeyed great will be the results.
 A. s. TRIGG. -. Chrysanthemum Culture.
 Be sure to plant Chrysanthemums. The success of chrysanthemums de- bends largely on the preparation of the soil. Spade deep and enrich heaV- ily as these flowers are grass feeders. They can be planted any time in the spring. as late as June. Pruning is quite important. When the plant is eight inches high, cut back to six in, ches. if you wish large flowers pinch out the terminal stem, allow about four shoots to each branch. When these are nine inches long cut back for the last time. Allow but one bud to shoot, let that be terminal bud. If you wish an ususua,ly large flow CT, prune all branches and leave only one bud, the terminal one. Liquid manure can be applied all through the season, but especially when the buds are forming.
 When raising for exhibition pur- poses it is we'll to plant the chrysan- themums in four inch pots, bury in the ground. When necessary, trans fer to seven inch pots. Plants raised in open ground, can be lifted care fully in the fall and put in large re- ceptacles. Water often and thorough ly, Feed with liquid manure once week.

LEGENDS ABOUT DEW.

Curious Beliefs as to it's Origin and
Varied Powers.
In many places dew is looked upon
as tears Of the angels and Of the souls
In purgatory shed on account Of the
sins Of human beings upon earth. and
dew is collected to be used to cure Ger.
tain diseases, especially those of the
eyes, freckles, badness, cramps, open
wounds and cuts, rheumatism, skin
diseases, burns, etc.
The virtues of dew as beauty wash
are also we'll known, remarks the Jour
nal Of Religious Psychology. One leg
end tells how by licking the dew of
the plants on a certain morning when
all the birds drink it one can learn
their language.
Another folk belief is that naked OF
with only their shirts on the witches at
the time Of the new moon collect the
dew from the grass with bark sleeves.
By this means they deprive of theiI
milk tho cows that have been pastured
on the grass, and as soon as their
sleeves are full Of dew they know that
their pots at home are full Of milk

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and thar is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
Tanned condition of the mucous lining
OF the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
1t is entirely clos ed, Deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition. hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which Is
nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.

PRESIDENT AGAIN
DEFENDS TARIFF
American Business Has Pros
pered under the Payne
Act, He States.
National News Association


WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-Although
sticking to his previously announced
intention not to make any political
speeches during the present campaign,
President Taft achieved the same
purpose by issuing a lengthy state
ment from the White house yesterday
relative to the democratic stand on the
tariff question:
I'm view of the erroneous state
ments," reads the White house docu-
ment, regarding the cause of the four
years of depression which followed
the second election of President Grow
er Cleveland, it may be we'll to recall
the facts: In his formal letter of &C
ceptance September 26, 1892, Mr..
Cleveland emphasized the need of
tariff reform and made it the leading
issue between the parties. The demo-
cratic slogan now is a tariff for rev.
more platform the tariff is not mere
ly to be reformed but the principle of
protecting American industry is to be
exercised, root and branch. On that
platform Governor Wilson stands
Capital Took Alarm.
ITO go back to Mr.. Cleveland's sec
ond term, the proof from his own
writings is that he was elected on the
issue of tariff reform. 1t is also
fact of history that Immediately on
his election capital and industry took
alarm, enterprise became paralyzed
and business disorganized The some
what puerile argument has been ad-
vanced that these deplorable condi-
tions could not have been due to i'm
pending tariff reform because they
arose nearly two years before the en-
actment of the Wilson tariff bill
When there are signs of cyclone the
rational man does not wait for the
storm to hit his house before getting
into the cyclone cellar. The Wilson
bill was in sight above the horizon
On the morning after the November
election, 1892, and capital and INDUS
try started for the cellar just as
fear they will take to shelter again
should the Baltimore platform of tar
if for revenue only be approved by
the American people on November s."
President Taft then reviewed the
disastrous effects following the Cleve-
land regime and compared with them
the highly prosperous condition of
American commerce and internal in
terests which he claims held sway un-
der the Payne-Aldrich tariff law.
After asking for any reasons why
this prosperity should be disturbed
the president concluded:
"On one side there is prosperity and
real progress; on the other leap in
the dark. The American people have
more than once surprised those who
thought the people were being success
fully fooled and 1 believe that a SINH
lar surprise awaits our opponents on
the coming fifth of November"

Romance Of Mountain Road Building
In the Pyrenees.
q. Il. Preston in 1.-The Passes of the
Pyrenees" quotes the story of Felix
Armand, cure of st. Martin-Lys, who
pierced a road through the magnificent
Gorge de Pierre-Lys in order to bring
prosperity to his poverty stricken vii
lage. The cure himself marked out
the route, hanging like spider from
the end of a rope over the awful preci-
pieces of the Pierre-Lys. After five
years incessant toll the workmen
reached the huge mass of rock which
blocks the gorge near Belvianes." Still
he bravely melted his parishioners to
presevere until in 1871 the tunnel was
. pierced which still bears the name
of lie Trou du Cure" The revolution
stopped the work, but after the reign
of terror tie cure set to work anew.
: "a pity the man should be priest"
said Napoleon when he heard of Ar
mand's heroic efforts. II would have
made him a general in my army"
The cures personal bravery was
great Once when a mine was about
to explode a muleteer was seen riding
round a corner. The priest instantly
sprang out and extinguished slow

was made an able. but he declined to
leave his flock and was buried at St.

An Example of Darino.

During the hottest fighting in the
Shipka pass the leading battalion Of the
Russian General Dragomiroff's division
recoiled before a hailstorm of Turkish
bullets. The general was very stout
person and had the appearance of a
peaceful German professor. But when
he saw his men recoil he dismounted
and walked slowly to and fro along a
ridge swept by the enemy's bullets.
He was hundred yards in advance of
the men. occupying the position they
had abandoned. After staying there
for awhile without being touched he
shouted back to the battalion: what
are you doing, you geese? Did you
think there was danger here? l don't
find any!" The men responded with a
roar of cheers, doubled up to him and
charged SO fiercely that the Turks were
forced to retreat
