Attorneys Duty Has Been Made Plain
by Some of the Highest Brit
ish Authorities.

Ought a barrister to defend on a
plea of not guilty prisoner who has
confessed to him privately that he has
committed murder or some other Of
ense with which he is charged?
The question was raised by the bar
committee at Shanghai, and Sir Ed
ward Carson, when attorney general.
and Sir Robert Finlay, X. c., M. P. ap-
proved the reply which the general
council of the bar sent, says the Lon
don Globe.
This reply lays down that if the
confession has been made before the
proceedings have been commenced it
is most undesirable that an advocate
to whom it was made should under
| take the defense, but If afterward, or
| in circumstances that the advocate
| cannot withdraw without seriously
compromising the position of the &C
cused, counsel's duty is to protect the
client as far as possible.
| The mere fact that the prisoner con
fessed to his counsel is no bar to that
advocate continuing to appear in his
defense, nor does the confession re
lease the advocate from his impera
tive duty to do all that he honorably
can for his client

BEAUTY OF CLIMBING PLANTS
BY {. VAN BENTHUYSEN.

The permanent climbing plants and
the ANNALS have decided place on
the home grounds. They fill a place
that trees, shrubs and flowers cannot.
They not only screen unsightly OBJ
jects, but serve as a shade, protec-
ton, and when trained carefully over
outbuildings, stone walls and porches
they help to make a picture Of the
home surroundings.
Three Of the best clinging vines are
the Boston ivy, English ivy and the
trumpet vine. They are best on
brick or stone walls as they are apt to
cause decay If allowed to climb over
shingles and woodwork
Japanese honeysuckle is of quick
growth and great beauty. It's delicate
odor and lacelike foliage are desir-
able qualities. ANY of the honeysuckle
family are good where dense shade is
not requisite. The crimson rambler
is another great favorite. 1t is particu-
larly beautiful when grown over white
trellises.
Where one wishes to change the 10
cation of vines yearly the ANIMALS are
necessary. Among the number of
beautiful annual climbers the morn
ing glory takes leading place. The
moonflower and cypress and canary
bird flower are other beautiful vines
easily grown.
To start the seed of Moonfiower and
Morning Glory cut the seed little
on one side and soak overnight in
warm water, plant in a window boz
or seedbed and transplant out of doors
when the ground is warm.
Wild cucumbers and Japanese or ma
tive hop are hardy vines and make {

THE WINDOW GARDEN
BY BESSIE L. PUTNAM.

On a cold. windy day, avoid placing
potted plants on the ledge formed by
the meeting of the upper and lower
sash
Unless the window is more than usu-
ally tight, there will be cold draft
which is always injurious to plants,
especially when applied to the roots.
Sunshine in midwinter is always
welcome to plant life, yet this should
be given in moderation. If the plants
are crowded up against the pane, test
as to whether the glass may not be-
come too heated.
Plant starvation is a common occur
renee in the winter, especially on the
| farm. City growers, accustomed to
buying not only plant food but even
soil, are appreciative of the need of
replenishing.
But we who have always been ac-
customed to getting the soil from our
own land, sometimes fail to appreciate
how quickly the small pot of earth is
exhausted of it's nutrient qualities.
There are prepared plant foods more
agreeable to use indoors than fertil
izers from the barnyard, but none more
efficient.
AS it is, inconvenient to get this in
zero weather, some prefer to fill sacF

two inches from the ground, and at
