writes that he Is getting two copies
Of the Saturday News, whereas one
is sufficient. However. he adds that
he would rather get a hundred copies

WORLDS MOST SACRED spor
Manssr In Church Of the Nativity at
Bethlehem Where Christ 10 Said
to Have Been Born.

ri. "a H r.
What may perhaps be described a.
the most sacred spot on earth is the
grotto or manger in the Church of
the Nativity at Bethlehem. This
small underground chamber, reached
from the church above by flight Of
steps, is said to be the site OF the
actual manger where Christ was born,
and silver star, let into the floor
underneath the altar, is alleged to be
the exact spot of the Nativity. Above
the star hang fifteen lamps, which
have continually illuminated the lit
tie chapel for several hundred years.
The altar is adorned with most
elaborate 'embroideries, the work of
royal princesses. while from the cell
ing hang a number of brass lamps
and a few paintings. There has, of
course, been no little controversy a
to whether this is the actual site OF
the original manger. To begin with,
1t is underground, and many people
wonder how 1t could have been used
by cattle and horses. Here, however,
we have to remember that In the
East donkeys and mules often dwell
in underground stables. and the stair.
case would present no difficulty to
the agile native cattle of Palestine.
No less an authority than Colonel
Conder has declared that the rude
grotto with it's rocky manger may be
accepted even by the most skeptical
of modern explorers"

BLACK RASPBERRY CULTURE
Fall Flowing 10 Recommended a.
Good Means Of EradIeatins Grubs
Soil Should Be Fertile.

Tho best soil for black raspberries
Is . mixture of sand and gravel,
rather high. It should not be too
dry; but, on the other hand, wet land
will not do at all.
While the ground may be plowed
and fitted as for any other crop. It
has been found that fall plowinE Is
preferable, writes Nellie e. Van Week
in Green's Fruit Grower. II the plow-
ing is done in November, or as late
as It can be done before freezing,
the grubs are destroyed; and the
plants will not suffer devastation
from them, as they are likely to do
IL the plowing is done IN the spring.
The soil sheuld be fairly fertile,
free from sod or roots. such as quack
or blueroot grass and all foul weeds.
Plow rather deep, and harrow until
the earth is perfectly fine and pliable.
Too much manure has been known to
bring on "xhe yellows," disease fatal
to berry plants. And let 1t be said
right here, II any yellow plants are
ever discovered, they should be pulled
up. taken out of the patch, and
burned.
Mark the ground with corn marker
three feet each way. Set every row
one way, and every other one the
other way-making the rows three
feet by six feet.
Plants should be set as soon In the
spring as they are large enough-say
from four to six inches high. Put
them in deep; six inches is a good
depth. They must have q good. firm
roofing to help the heavy plants with
stand the hard winds the following
years.
Cultivate and hoe often enough to
keep the field free from weeds. The

Tom at that moment would have re
paid any sacrifice-yes. even the whole
Of the corner paper privilege. Pete's

Tom was busy az he could be on
Christmas eve and It was well after
midnight when he crawled into his lit
tie bed. tired and lonely. for Pete had
gone to the hospital three days be-
fore. He knew away down deep in his
heart that 1t would do no good to hang
up his stocking, but hope dies hard
in the young and the stocking was
pinned to the side Of the chair.
The sun had shone for an hour or
more when Tom Awoke and realized
that 1t was Christmas day. He hardly
dared to glance at the stocking but
summoned up courage and looked 1t
the chair where it hung. The stock
ing was empty. Tom reached over
and felt 1t to make sure and then
crawled back under the bedclothes.
For the first time In his life the rough.
ness OF the world had overcome him
and. in spite of all the strength he
could muster, the great hot tears
crowded into his eyes and flowed down
his cheeks. He buried his face in the
pillow and cried a great big soulful

more often the soil IL stirred, the
greater will be the yield. In q dry
season, frequent cultivation draws the
moisture to the surface, and helps
to tide the plants over until the rain

If no young plants are wanted for
the next, year, this finishes the first
season. If, however. new sets are
desired. either for home use or for
sale, this is the way to get them. By
the way, plants in the spring sell all
the way from 50 to $40 thousand,
according to supply and demand.
Early in September, bury the ends
in the ground about two inches. A

from the mother plant Trim all the
other ends on the old plant as far

Cultivate frequently as. long as It
can be done without injuring the
ripening fruit, perhaps until two or
three weeks before picking time.
During the time that the crop is
being gathered, the canes for next
years harvest will be getting tall. The
patch will need to be done over sew
eral times during July and August
and the ends of the canes shipped of
to about three feet high, in order that
now shoots may come out to make
large. healthier bushes.
After the crop is harvested, take
out the old bushes with . long

about new legs.

away from temptation. Tom knew
Pete's stolid strength of will, and de-
cided on another tack. He felt in his
