DOGS DEVOTION TO MASTER
Pet of French Soldier, as an Instance,
Saves Wounded Master, Half
Buried In Trench.

The dog Of a French soldier fol-
lowed him to the war, lived with him
In the trenches and shared his blanket
at night. A shell killed dozen men
and buried this one, badly wounded,
in trench which the explosion half
filled with earth. The dog dug fran
tically for his master and managed to
expose his face before ne suffocated.
Then he seized other soldiers by their
clothing and finally succeeded in draw
ing them to the scene. They unearthed
their comrade and put him on a hos
pital train, into which the dog also
managed to force his way. At the
hospital, near Paris, the mans leg
was amputated, and the devotion OF
the dog was such that the attendants
found kennel for him near the
kitchens and allowed him to visit his
master twice a day. His love for
the wounded man was so great and
his sympathy with his suffering so
evident as to touch the hearts of all
who saw it.
w nat uO6S IL medn mere 10 utNo-
ton which exceeds that of many
mothers, of many men. Here is affec-
ton manifested in lower order Of
life which equals our own. 1t is prob
ably true that the dog is of all ami
mails the most capable of sincere, self
denying attachment, these higher quail
tiles having been developed by long
and close companionship with men.
He can subordinate himself more COM
pletely and enter into mans feelings
more sympathetically than any other
form of life; yet how friendly and
how loving to the extent Of their ca
pacity would all the furred and feath-
cred folk of the woods and fields be
If only man would meet them half
way. How the birds would delight to
sing for him if their confidence had
not been destroyed by ages of perse-
cution. There are Hindus who assert
as fact, within our experience, that
there are kindly men who respect all
animal life whom neither tigers nor
snakes will harm. An immunity OF
this sort was assured of old to be-
levers, but it would seem that nobody
has sufficient faith to make trial of 1t

GENERAL FLOWER HINTS

Cut and pile sod for pot compost la
ter.
Weather seldom affects weeds ad-
versely
Heavy shade is often worse than
strong sunlight.
window garden now.
Don't neglect the potted plants; wa
ter well, and shade from the after
noon sunshine.
Prune older, weaker branches from
shrubs and roses that are done bloom
ing, and mulch roots.
Many plants will bear strong sky
light that would be badly damaged
if set in strong sunshine.
Prune out the branches of the dahl
ia to promote development of flowers;
water well, and tie to stakes.
When shade is recommended, dark
ness or dense shade are not meant.
All plants require a good light
Root geranium slips now, if you
want winter boomers. Keep growing
thrifty, pinching off all buds until late
September.
Cut flowers of ANNALS that seed
freely and prolong the season of
bloom. If allowed to mature seeds,
they cease to bloom.
To root hardwood, shrubbery plants,
cut just below the joint, as all slips
send out roots from the Joint, wheth-
or soft or hardwood.
Do not make the mistake of roofing
for winter boomers, plants that bloom
only in summer. Some geraniums
bloom more freely than others.
For potted plants that must have
sunshine, set the pots In jardiniere,
or set in box with a packing of moss
around them to encourage moisture.
Evaporation is rapid; if showers are
few, the plants will become stunted
from thirst; if too much rain, weeds
must not be allowed to choke the
plants.
All shrubby pot plants should be set
in a sheltered place, out Of doors, with
good light, but some shade during the
hot season, where strong winds cannot
rack them.

SHOCKED HER THRIFTY SOUL
Idea of Money Remaining in Well Was
Too Much for Howard's Stingy
Mother.

Towards mother was known to his
playmates as a stingy, stingy woman.
She never did pass out pennies for
treats like other boys mothers.
Howard came in from play one
morning with an air of having fin
ished q satisfactory job
well, son, what has mothers boy
been doing?" asked Towards stingy
mother
Maxim waves down the well"
Then ] shall have to punish you.
I've told you never to throw stones
into the we'll"
Il didn't frow stones" whimpered
Howard. Il found an old quarter in
the road and frew that"
"A quarter" gasped his mother.
But it wasn't any good mother. A
wagon ruined over it and Bonded 1t.
Movie addendum: Then Howards
mother threw herself with a splash
into the deep, dark well and began to
search its Shiny depths.)

To prevent your window plants from
blooming only on the street side, turn
them occasionally and you will have
the blooms in the room as well Do
not give foliage plants as much light
as for Towering plants; keep the ferns
in shady corner, north window is
good place.
Use as dry material only well rotted
manure. To prepare liquid manure to
be applied only after the ordinary wa
tering has been done, take an ordinary
barrel containing one-half bushel Of
fresh COW dung and If extra strength
be required add a couple OF quarts of
fresh hen manure and cover with wa
ter.
After 1t has been fermented thor
oughly the coarse material will all set.
tie to the bottom and you may fiji the
barrel with water and the solution is
ready to be applied to your plants.
An application every two weeks Is
generally all that Is required for most
plants.
For this process sand is generally
used, or very light soil, as most favor
able for the formation OF new roots.
The geranium Is perhaps the easiest
TO begin with and good healthy TOP
should be selected where wood has
formed. Take sharp knife and cut
below the joint.
Foliage plants are very easily prop
agated, and every woman can do her
own work OF this nature with great
satisfaction

WHEN TO PLANT BULBS
BY MRS. JOHN FIELD.

Hardy bulbs should be planted as
early in the fall as possible.
Dealers will not begin sending out
bulbs much before the latter part
of September Early orders get the
best bulbs.
The best soil for bulbs for the
house is a rich loan mixed with sand
If too heavy, add turfy matter to
tighten it,
Always choose a well-drained To-
cality for your bulb-seed; If not nat.
urally So put at least six inches of
broken crockery, pieces of brick, old
shoes, old bones, and the like in the
bottom of the bed.
Never take bulbs out Of the package
the florist sends them in until you
arc ready to plant them. Do not
leave them exposed to the light or
air, as this will cause loss of moisture
and weaken vitality.
The scales of lily bulbs often be.
come soft and labby when exposed
to the air, because of the evaporation
of the sap, which is the life blood OF
the bulb. Such bulbs are weakened
and hardly worth planting. Put all
bulbs in the cellar or in a dark, cool
place until ready to plant.
Many plants will grow well in an
ordinary window in winter, but the
number that will soften freely under
such conditions are few and need
special preparation. Many failures
are due to an unwise selection OF
kinds, as well as to the extremes of
heat to which the ordinary room is
subjected
September is a good time to root
cuttings taken from soft wood plants,
but the "bloomers" for the house
should have been slipped and rooted
last May or June Cuttings taken as
late as September of the new half
ripened wood of many ANNALS and
perennials will make nice house plants
and some of these should bear flowers
If well cared for,
Hardy bulbs may be planted among
shrubbery, and these will give bloom
at time when the branches of the
shrubbery are bare of foliage, lighting
up the grounds wonderfully. The
shrubbery will in turn serve to pro
tect the bulb flowers and foliage from

To the average man the names OF
the new Greek ministers may prove
bewildering, but to the initiated they
reveal a good deal. Until after the
war of liberation a century ago few of
the Greek population had surnameS

patronymics by various methods, but
generally by adopting the name OF
their trade or birthplace. to which
their successors have added the ter.
