GROWING More LAVENDER.

, Owing to the continuous rise in the
price of lavender e the acreage
devoted to the cultivation of lavender
flowers in the Marseille consular dis
trict has increased considerably. The
fact that barren soils, unproductfve
for other purposes, may be successful
fy utilized renders this industry par
ticularly attractive to the farmers In
this part of France. Thin. rocky soils,
well exposed to the sun, situated at
an altitude of 1872 to 1897 feet, are
best adapted for this purpose. Suit
able soils at lower attitudes, unless
properly fortified, seldom give salts
factory results. Experience shows
that flowers cultivated at attitudes Of
1888 feet produce the best essence
Truftles r often planted between the
rows, that every foot Of soil may be
put to use.

to the first continental congress. In
the spring of 1776 he was sent to
France as a secret diplomatic agent.
He posed as a merchant from Ber-

Judoment bv Faith.

Judge not by deeds and things, take
the good heart and the good motive
on trust. Believe in 1t, affirm it.
To affirm a thing is literally to make
1t firmer. To glorify the good self Of
another is to set going the machinery
by which goodness manifests.
When others believe us good, W
wise, or lovely, we catch the vibration
by thought transference and begin to
believe in ourselves as true, beautiful
and good. And whatsoever things we
believe in we think upon, and we be
come like that which we think upon
Also we act accordingly.
If you want to see beauty in this
world. just believe in those about you
