Of enormous size which, If we are to be.

Of England and France advanced on
Picking fn 1850 the Chinese painted
these statues gray Ia order to make
the Europeans believe that they were
Of bronze and therefore to Insure
against their being melted. Later, dur

and they are In native eyes a symbol
Of the unity of the empire.-Harper's.

boards were lying round-half-inch

-Four of these pieces nailed together

eight over watermelons and eight over
muskmelons. Results were most def
mite. We had cucumbers from the
sheltered vines two weeks earlier than
usual and watermelons as big as CO.
coanuts before plants that were set In
the open had formed fruit. The white
shelter has forcing effect and yet
permits hardy growth. Cloth has an
advantage over glass In that 1t let's

against bugs.
When the vines under cloth outgrew
the frames l removed them. Just then

With bugs. dry. weather and other dis
advantages, 1t seemed as If they would
not live. Twelve of the frames were
clapped over these plants, and in two
days the effect could be seen in whole,
healthy green leaves. Then some
brussels sprouts came for transplant
ing in July, when the sky was like
brass. put them right out as soon
az received, with cheesecloth frame
over each, and they grew as If they
had been transplanted In a week Of

Cheesecloth is cheap. If you buy a
bolt Of it, about seventy-five yards, it
costs about 21a cents a yard. The

Corsica had been under the con-

Paoll with few thousand Cor
slosns met them boldly, but was
badly defeated. With hls little
army reduced to b37 men and

cut his way out and escaped to
England. The French con-
quered the Island, but at a cost
