THE BEAUTY OF VINES
BY JOSEPHINE DE MARI.


When in doubt as to what to plant.
plant vines, is sound advice. Vines
beautify; they are useful: they are
easy to grow; they shade from the
hot sun; they hide old or obnoxious
features; they encourage the birds to
nest about the house; they are the
| drapery nature throws over and about
with lavish hand to soften and en-
bellish.
| When preparing to plant vines be
sure to spade deeply, manure heavily,
| and prepare the soil carefully. After
perennial or hardy vines are estab-
lished it is difficult to cultivate them,
therefore, do all you can before plant
! ing them. When they begin to spin
they must have supports, otherwise
they will be stunted in growth and
unsatisfactory.
! There are so many beautiful vines
among ANNALS, perenniaIs and hardy
vines that it is hard to decide, if the
| choice is at all restricted. If you wish
to blot out an old building, cover it
with vines. If you dislike the neces-
sary fence, turn it into a thing of
beauty by planting vines along its
| length.
A dead tree renews its. youth if
vines are allowed to clothe it's branches
Let vines shade the porch and thus

its leaves are ready to cast a shadow.

another desirable wild vine, but it is
not as common as those mentioned

The wild climbing rose has an ex-
quisite flower; and once started grows

The climbing roses are led by the

HINTS IN THE GARDEN

Do not expose palms. etc, to the
full sunshine-thOse that have been
growing winter and spring in the
house. Plunge their pots into the
earth to the rim and construct a lathe
or Stat house over them that viii
allow the sunlight to shift on them
This is done by mailing the stats two
inches apart.
Climbing roses frequently show
signs of mildew at this season of the
year. Dust them with sulphur while
they are wet with dew.
In a dry season a garden always
needs extra care Leaves will turn
yellow and fall. and the flowers will
soon wither and present an unsightly
appearance as they cling to the Stats
Go over the grounds at least every
other day and take up whatever has
fallen and remove faded blossoms.
Neatness should be the order of tho
day throughout the entire season.

largest Steamship CARGO.

On it's last trip to the Pacific coast
from Oriental ports, the Great North
ern's steamship Minnesota carried
what its owners say was the largest
cargo ever shipped in one bottom in
the history of shipping. The total Of
the cargo is estimated at nearly 10000
tons. Included were 1880 bales of
hemp from Manila bound for Chicago,
and 2,730 bags of peanuts for the Pa
cifc coast. From Kobe came 1880
chests of tea for overland points via
the Great Northern road, principally
Chicago, New York, Montreal and To-
ronto. There were 1890 bags Of
Manchurian maize and more than s.
500 cases of porcelain from Japanese
ports. From Yokohama was shipped
treasure amounting to 100000 yen
in gold coin.-WaL Street Journal.

He Got Them In.

The lazy student had been told that
the instructor would ask for a list
of the kings of Israel in the examina-
ton. so he learned this list, and went
to the examination in high hope. To
his horror, the questions contained
no reference to the kings of Israel,
and he looked in vain for a question
that he could answer.
The latest question was: Distinguish
between the major and minor proph-
ets''
In answer he -rote: THE Lord for
bid that l should draw distinctions be-
tween these holy men, but the kings
of Israel are these" Then followed
the list.

must not be allowed to dry out or
freeze.
When the roots are well started,
the buds will begin to swell, and the
new plants should be lifted carefully
and potted in a soil made of equal
parts of garden loan, leaf mold and
clean sand, given thorough water
ing, and the pots plunged in the soil
of the cold frame, where the plants
will not freeze. In the spring the lit
tie plants can be set in the border.
Cuttings may also be planted in a
warm. sunny spot in the garden, as
IN sand, and a fruit jar turned over
them, pulling the soil up around the
jar half its height and leaving until
spring, keeping the soil up around the
jar moist during the fall months.
These cuttings should not be lifted
until the following fall, unless with the
utmost care and plenty of soil about
the roots.

to pass that the glance, scornful and
high, of the white girl burned in his
soul.

and the other answered:

to escape, to go somewhere where he
could start life anew. But he knew
that his memories would be with him
forever. Nowhere in the world was
there a place for him.
The rumors of native unrest accent
uated that winter. Dawson, seated
round the fire, had discussed the mat
ter with a dozen of the chiefs. All
agreed that the projected uprising was
madness. They knew the terrible
power of the white mans guns.
But what can we do?" they said.

Dawson knew that the then" had
come when he found that the ami
mated conversation of the natives
would cease abruptly as he appeared.
He knew that they mistrusted him,
because even the savage knows that
white is white and black is black for
ever.
He walked into Grey to warn the
administrator. He was kept waiting
by Lord Forrest for two hours, and
then Lord Forrest sent out word that
he was too busy to receive him.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid. says noted authority
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass 1t on to the bladder,
where it often remains to irritate and
inflame. causing burning. scalding
sensation, or setting up an irritation
at the neck of the bladder, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night. The sufferer is in
constant dread, the water passes some
times with a scalding sensation and is
very profuse: again, there is difficulty
in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call it.
because they can't control urination.
While it is extremely annoying and
sometimes very painful. this is really
one OF the most simple ailments to
overcome. Get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take a tablespoonful in a glass of wat
er before breakfast continue this for
two or three days. This will neutralize
the acids in the urine SO 1t no longer
is a source of irritation to the bladder
and urinary organs which then act
normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive. harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes

and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caused
by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is

DURING Is YEARS
SAME HOMES GET
HELP OF CHARITY

History of charity in Richmond is
being studied by Secretary Melpolder
of the central charities bureau, who is
reading the minutes Of the Associated
Charities meetings since 1889.
The minutes reveal that the organ
ization was struggling one until
1896, when it went into the Knollen-
berg building on South Fifth street
and opened an industrial building"
in which laundry was conducted, the
women receiving five cents an hour
for their work.
A day nursery was also opened and
was success for a few months. A
dispensary, sewing school, stone pile
for prisoners and soup house were
successfully operated with varying de.
grees of success.
In these early records, names are
found which are now on the charity
records, showing that some families
have received charity almost continu-
ously for more than twenty-five years,
and their progeny are now receiving
charity.
