GUIDE THE MENTAL PROCESS.
What Are Our Children's Thoughts of
Death.

Whether it pleases us or not, we
must recognize that 1T is well nigh
impossible for child to reach his
fifth year witfout having death thrust
upon his thoughts If you attempt to
make it otherwise for your child. you
must first strip his bookcase of most
of the standard fairy tales and
nursery stories The heroes slay their
enemies, and foxes and Jackals meet
to bar the thought of death from the
little child you must rob him of his
living playmates; for the pussios and
doggies and goldfishos will die in
spite of your beautiful theory, Much
less can you control the accidental
fall of wild bird To its death upon
your lawn. Your child may come
running to the house with the mo-
tionless, feathered form in his hand,
and with the query, Mother, why
doesn't the bird fly away" You
must either evade the question or an
swer it with the truth.
To many young children knowledge
Of death comes with a great shock
Perchance playmate is taken; or
even brother or sister goes. 1t may
be the father or mother. You would
give all you have and more to shield
your child from the sadness and dis
treSS OF lne llrSl Nlsion' nut lniS thi-
not be. Death has walked unlimited
at an hour of his own choosing into
your home, and your children could
not escape the knowledge Of his
presence.
What thoughts of death do we
most care to have our children think
ing? Shall we create "A sympathetic
atmosphere and encourage our chill
dren to question about death, or shall
we shun the subject? If we allow
our children to see our dead, will the
physical state repel and make them
afraid? or can we help them to spir-
itualize their conceptions Of death ?
Shall we definitely study how we may
best teach our children of death as we
study how best to teach about the
birds and flowers? or shall we leave
them to struggle with the mystery

his audience a presentable as we'll as

WORK IN THE ROSE GARDEN
BY HUGO ERlcHSEN.

Nothing can be said in praise of the
rose that has not been said before.
Universally recognized as the most
beautiful flower. it is the one child of
Flora around which a wealth of SEN
timent. history and poetry clusters.
The beauty of the rose is so widely
appreciated that the popularity it now
enjoys and the demand for hardy gar
den roses are annually increasing. No
garden is complete without roses, and
every family ought to grow them in
abundance, for never have roses been
so cheap and beautiful as now
Moreover. the cultivation of the
flower is SO simple that no excuse can
be offered for its neglect.
The first requisite for success in
rose growing is the selection of good,
healthy plants. Weak, sickly roses
are dear at any price. Many of these
plants lack vigor because they are
stunted by remaining too long in the
cutting bed or in small pots before
they are set out.
In order to obtain the best results,
therefore, it is advisable to restrict
ones patronage to first-class nursery
men only. firms that are prepared to
furnish strong, wel-rooted plants, such
as will make showing the first sea
son and develop into vigorous speci-
mems.
In selecting roses for the garden, it
Is well to know that those plants are
grown In two ways, that is to say, on
their own roots or budded low on the
Manetti, brier rose that has largely
superseded the dog-rose and other
stocks in this country. as 1t is one
of the most desirable for our country
and climate.
Experts are divided on the question
as to which should receive the prefer
ence, and the beginner is liable to be
in quandary, because growers are
apt to argue for their own method of
propagation.
We find many varieties of roses
grown on this stock (ManettD adapt
themselves to greater range of eli
mate and soil. bloom more profusely,
endure better the heat of the summer
and make far stronger plants than if
grown from their own roots.
Many object to budded roses on &C
count of the suckers they sometimes
throw out; but if proper attention Is
paid to the planting this will rarely be
an annoyance.
Budded roses should be planted suf-
ficiently deep, so that the junction of
the bud with the stock is from two to
three inches below the surface of the

SHAPING of a Career

In 1884. Lord Melbourne, then still
home secretary in the reform cabinet,
and Disraeli. beaten candidate for
parliament. were talking together
after dinner. and the typical British
peer, the friend of Victoria, was at
tracted by the cleverness of the He
brew aspirast Lord Melbourne" as
Disraeli told the story, which Is con-
firmed by Melbournes biographer,
asked how he could advance me- in
life, and half proposed that should be
his private secretary, inquiring what
my objec. in life might be. To be
prime minister The condescending
Wing tried gently to argue the young
man out of what must have seemed to
him pure infatuation; but he did not
forget the remark. When, in lS4S, as
an old man, he learned of Disraeli's
success in parliament. he was heard
to exclaim: by God! the fellow will
do it yet."-Paul E. Moore in the At
lantic.

earth. If despite this precaution, a
wild shoot should happen to start from
the base, the growth and foliage of the
stock are so distinct that it is readily
recognized by the most inexperienced
amateur and is easily removed.
When the rose plants are received
from the nurserymen they should be
unpacked as soon as they come to
hand. Thereupon the tops and roots
should be well sprinliled with water,
after which they should be covered
with bagging and placed in shaded
spot until ready to plant.
If the ground is not prepared when
the plants arrive it is advisable to
put them in a shallow trench and
cover the roots with loose soil until
the ground can be put into a proper
condition.
The enrichment of the soil, how
ever, should not only be made at the
time of the preparation of the bed be
fore planting, but in the spring OF
every year, for with such attention a
bountiful supply of flowers may be ex.
pected every season.
When planting, spread the roots out
carefully and do not cross them or
crowd them. They should be placed
well below the surface OF the soil
and arranged, as far as possible, in
their natural position.
Roses may be grown to perfection
in ordinary garden soil, provided they
are planted in sunny, sheltered loca.
ton, away from the roots of large
trees. for these will absorb all the life
sustaining nutrition of the soil, where
as young trees and dwarf shrubbery
do no harm. II the soil is naturally
poor, however, 1t is advisable to lay
substantial foundation for future
good results.
The question naturally presents 1t.
self as to which is the best time tc
plant roses, but the broad extent OF
our country precludes definite reply
Generally speaking, however, mid

the ground and the soil can be worked
But it is advisable not to set out tea
roses until the weather is thoroughly
settled and they should. of course,
only be planted in the spring.
Unless a cold, wet or late spring
prevails. pruning may be done in
March or April. Old and decayed
branches and unripened wood should
be removed annually, leaving only the
strong and well matured.

Ways of the Hopper.

Advocate, "a 'eller tried to make us
believe the other day that visitation
of grasshoppers such as we had in
1874 wouldn't do much harm now, as
there is so much vegetation they
couldn't eat it all? When a man talks
that way we know he never took

TO PARENTS.

Let me diverge for once from my
policy of addressing young people d.
rectly. that l may say few words to
fathers and mothor
The selection of a vocation is usual
ly made either by the boy himself, by
his parents, or by both.
Theoretically, at least, the parent is
supposed to be the best adviser for his
son, because he has seen more of him
| and should be able to diagnose his
ability with some degree of accuracy.
While the parent undoubtedly in
tends to advise the son for his good, it
is obvious that neither the father nor
the mother is infallible, and that. be-
ing human, they are likely to err and
influence their boy to his detriment
We are all more or less swayed by
prejudice. If a father, for example,
has made a failure of his work, he is
likely to advise his son against it,
even though the latter may be adapted
to 1t. Conversely, If a father has
achieved success in his vocation, he
quite naturally assumes that what he
mas done well his boy can do equally
well.
The parent often forgets to study
his boy. and he is quite likely to as
sumo that his son is fit for this and
unfit for that
do not consider that the advice of
any one person, whether he is a par
ent or not, is sufficient to determine
the vocation for a young man.
Composite counsel is far better than
individual opinion
The parent should begin to study
his son when the boy has passed his
fourteenth or fifteenth year, perhaps
before; he should watch him care
fully, talk with him in a friendly way.
and bring to his attention the advan-
tages and disadvantages of the sew
eral callings, especially those for
which he thinks his son is fitted.
The father should go further, and
consult with his friends, those who
come in contact with his boy, that
from composite counsel, he may be
able to advise him more definitely and
more carefully.
To push or to force the boy into a
vocation, without careful thought and
considerable study. is as wicked as it
is to rob him of his birthright.
Thousands upon thousands of boys
have been started wrong because of
self-opinionated fathers, who, without
consideration, forced their sons into
vocations against their inclinations
and ability.
Many a devoted mother and over
ambitious father, wholly from self
pride and without any real regard for
their offspring, have attempted to
coerce him into some profession, when
the boy had absolutely no liking for it
or ability to practice it. They would
have their son a lawyer when the boy
would make a good business man.
They would force him to become a
teacher when he lacked the power to
impart information. They would make
business man of student who
loved his books more than money.
Remember, parents, that your boy,
on the threshold of life, is soon to be
his own master. and that you have no
more right to force him under your
will than you have to steal his over
coat or shoes.
The boy of today is the man of to.
morrow, and what you do with him to-
day may make or break him tomor-
row.
