IN THE GARDEN

Do not make the mistake of planting
magnolias in the autumn. Where they
thrive there is nothing more snowy
than the Chinese varieties. The flow
ers appear about the same time as the
crocuses and tulips in the spring. The
spring is better time for planting.
Do not permit any weeds to go &c
seed. Better not allow the seed pods
to form Go carefully over the garden
these fall days and clear out every
weed. Will save lots of trouble next
season.
Destroy the webs Of the fall web

The Polish aristocracy succeeded
where other medieval aristocracies
failed, and its success was Polands
ruin. The king was kept figurehead,
isolated from the mass of people large
ly by reason of the Polish custom of
electing kings. 1t all looked very
democratic, but in fact it merely
served to keep aliens or weaklings on
the throne much OF the time.
Thus suppressing the king and op-
pressing the people. the aristocracy be-
came a military and political caste,

arts of war and social decadence, af-
fected the use of alien languages, and
devised institutions of government
which ultimately deprived it of ca
pacity for exercising the very govern
mental functions it had monopolized.
The Poles called their country a re-
public, and their institutions might
have justified their claim if only they
had understood that a republican gov
ernment must be truly representative.
1t must represent all the people; Po-
lands represented a select class only.

WATER PLANTS PLENTIFuLLY

When you water plants, soak them
and have done with it. It is the little
dabs of water all the time that do the
mischief. Out of doors it doesn't rain
every few minutes, but when it does it
soaks them and then stops.
Morning is the best time to water
the plants. Stand the pots In tub
of water deep enough to reach almost
to the rim of the pot. When the soil
turns black on top take them out and
drain.-L. o. B.

TIRPITz READY
 TO MODIFY HIS
 U-BOAT POLICY

Berlin, via Amsterdam, Aug. 31- Imperial Chancellor von Bethmann- HoIlwegs. policy, the keynote of which, briefly put, is Keep at peace with the United States" appears to have gained the upper hand and is expected to wind up the German American controversy over the Ara ibic's sinking and over the entire sub marine warfare question, making it a, closed incident to the complete satis- faction of the United States.
 Grand Admiral won Tirpitz, the father of the German navy and in-5 stigator of the German submarine campaign. after long rem monstrance against all steps of conciliation has finally bowed to the Chandeliers tIle-l ories and has let it be understood-a1-s though unoddcially only-that he. too, is strongly in favor of a continuation or rather the e-establishment, of friendly relations between America and Germany.
 This important victory came about at conference with Emperor Will helm at the latter's headquarters in the eastern theatre of war, from which the Chancellor and the Grand, Admiral have just returned. Foreign Minister yon Jagow also attended the meeting. The Emperor himself, it is believed, acted as. I'm ediator'' be7, tween the Chancellor and the chief of his navy, finally bringing them to- gether.
 There is one point on which von Tirpitz is still holding out and on which no argument has been able to convince him thus far: He does not favor formal -disavowaI by Ger many of the sinking of the Arabic. His attitude is comprehensible, as such 8 disavowaI would mean a re-. pudiation Of his submarine policy.
 This question, however. as to whether Germany shall OF shall not disavow the Arabic's destruction hinges upon the nature of the report of the submarine commander who sank the Arabic.
 In the meantime the winning over of Grand Admiral von Tfrpitz to the Chandeliers conciliatory policy is considered vital victory. It is pointed out by some, with reference to the AdniraI's attitude, that the sshurnan element must not be en- tirely ignored. With Germanys pow erful navy completely bottled up be- cause of the British fleets superiority, it is explained, the discontinuance of the submarine warfare would mean robping the German navy chief, of his most effective weapon-and this. after, nearly a half century's arddous prep aration. is a hard pill for him to swallow.

CHAIR ROCKED BY LIGHTNING. Keeps Going Twenty-eight Minutes

A large wooden chair was resting empty below the meter When the sparks began to fly out Of the meter the chair began to rock. The motion increased until the chair swung back and forth as though some one was seated in it.
 The motion continued 28 minutes, according to four persons who were in the room. No one dared touch it for fear of getting a shock. There is no metal in the chair, it being made en- tire1y of wood and leather.
