HEART-RENDlNc SCENES WHEN
INFANTS DIED IN MOTHERS
ARMS.

London, May 1.-THE Illustrated
Sunday Herald of Cork says there
were on the Lusitania fifty babies who
were less than twelve months old and
more than one hundred others whose
ages did not reach two years. They
all have been drowned.
The babies were the talk of the
ship and everybody tried to look after
them when The time came. There are
numerous cases reported where both
passengers and crew stripped them
selves of their own lifebelts to put
around the little ones, but it was use
less, and about $50 of the infants, it is
calculated, died from shock and ex-
posure. They were afterward seen
floating in the water with lifebeits
tied around their little bodies, but
they were past saving.
ness in the rescuing boats only to
find that the little ones they were
hugging to their bosoms were dead.
One mother lost all her three young
children, one six years, one four, and
the third a babe in arms, six months
old. She herself lives. She held up
the three of them in the water, all the
time shrieking for help. When rescu-
ed by boat party the two elder chill
dren were dead. Their room was re-
quired on the boat and the mother
was brave enough to realize it.
"Give them to me-" she shrieked.
Give them to me, my bonnie wee
things. ! will bury them. They are
mine to bury as they were mine to
keep"
With her hair streaming down her
back, and her form shaking with sOr-
row she took hold of each little one
from the rescuers and reverently
placed it in the water again, and peo-
Pile in the boat wept with her as she
murmured a little sobbing prayer to
the great God above. But her cup of
sorrow was not yet complete, for just
as the rescuers were landed her third
and only remaining child died in her
arms.

the seedlings should be transplanted
at least once before setting in the gar
den. The plants should be set two
inches apart each way in a box, hot
bed or cold frame.
05) Before setting plants in the
open they should be hardened off, to
prevent serious check to growth.
This can be accomplished by exposing
the plants to outside conditions dur
ing the day in mild weather and final
" leaving them uncovered at night
when there is no danger of frost.
06) Thoroughly soak the plant
bed before removing the plants, so as
to have as much soil adhere to the
roots as possible.
I'D In setting the plants in the
garden, thoroughly pack the soil
around the roots. when the soil is dry,
it is advisable to apply a little water
around the roots. AS soon as the wa
ter is soaked in, the moist soil should
be covered with dry earth to prevent
baking.
(1S) Give frequent shallow culti-
vation with small-tooth cultivators. A
sweep or turnplow should not be used
unless the land becomes SO weedy
that cultivators will not do the work.
