Heaven knew he needed that It

Just rising out Of the ruck. He was
twenty-nine; Agnes was only two or
three years younger. and they had
been engaged for several years. A
struggling artist has little chance Of
making enough to support a wife in
London.
However, though it had not been
sold, one Of Johns pictures had been
accepted for exhibition by the Royal
academy the summer before, and he
had little doubt that this would be

A month later, to his delight, John
received an intimation from the Royal

was to be placed on exhibition. On

stances. At last she was placed in the
charge Of q policeman and conveyed

John stood looking ruefully at her
handiwork. The painting was injured
beyond all possibility Of repair. There
were half dozen vertical and three or
four horizontal slashes in it, each ex.

herself to be, into the reproduction Of
the image that lay enshrined in his
heart. And this was the end!
Slowly they went out of the academy,

throng, which had guessed the tragedy

GASES ABSORBED BY GRAPES
Tres, Garden Plants and Vineyards
Damaged by EmanatIons from
Chemical Works.

A German botanical journal has
plants, and vineyards have shown
damage resulting from their proximity
to chemical works. Emanations from
these works deposited powder on the
foliage. Analyses Of the powder
showed that oxalic acid or its salts
made up nearly one-third of it and
that sodium compounds were also
present. The leaves seemed especially
sensitive on their lower sides.
The wine from the grapes grown in
the neighborhood of the chemicals pos
sessed a peculiar taste that was at
tributed to their absorption of the foul
gases permeating the air.

MAKING PROFIT WITH PEARS
Advantage Of Dwarf Variety 10 That
They Come Into Bearing Early
Rich Soil 10 Preferable.

Both standard and dwarf pears are
desirable for planting. The advant-
age with the dwarf pear is that they
come into bearing early, and never
attain great size, hence are well
adapted to planting where the ground
is limited Then they usually come
into bearing so early, two or three
years after planting out, that several
crops may be secured before blight
kills the trees.
They are, however, not as long lived
a tree as the standard, and In one
sense this is an objection, as 1t ne
cessitates planting oftener. But 1t
will be an exception even on a small
place, when 1t will be best to plant
a few dwarf pear trees, the number
being proportioned to the number
Of trees planted.
Standard pears. if kept healthy, are
very long lived, and they will bear
fruit long time, but they are longer
coming into bearing than the dwarf,
and need considerable more sun.
When planted for family use. two or
three varieties can be planted to good
advantage-an early, medium and
late, in order to lengthen out the sea-
son. II properly cared for late pears
may be kept for a considerable time
after ripening When grown espe-
cially for market there should not be
too many varieties, as properly man
aged, one or two good varities will
pay better profit than a large num-
Der of varieties. A reasonably rich
soil is preferable in order to secure
strong. vigorous growth. This will
greatly aid in preventing blight, as a
vigorous, thrifty tree is less liable to
be attacked than an unthrifty one.
Then plenty of potato starch should
be supplied. Wood ashes, old vines
or something of this kind can be put
around the tree with benefit, and will
help to secure a better growth and a
tree less liable to be attacked
by disease. There is rarely an over
stock Of pears in market, so that good
prices can nearly always be depended
upon.
