ABOUT LILIES

bulbs will reach you any time from

vember; and It IL well to have the bed
prepared in advance. Prepare the bed
now, and as the season advances cover
1t with six inches Of litter Of any kind.
and then II the bulbs do not come too
late, the ground will be in condition to
receive them when they do come.
Again cover the ground with q lit.
ter. and in the early spring remove
1t. Lilies like a well-drained, moist
soil, deep and well-worked over with
fine, well-decayed manure.
When the bulbs are set In the ground
a handful Of sand should be placed
around each bulb and through this the
root will reach the rich soil. & Sss

across the ribs with a sharp knife, and
laying 1t fiat on the cutting box. II
necessary, pin 1t down with toothpicks.
The leaves will rot wherever the leaf
has been slashed, and soon new plants
will appear.
Perenninls sown IN the summer
should have developed into good
thrifty plants by this time. Plant
where they are to bloom next summer,
or pot for the window.
Late in September pot the prim-
roses and cineraria seedlings grown In
frames. Do not allow them to become
pot-bound until they are ready to
flower.
If the mignonette is your favorite
flower, September Is a good time to
insure good supply for the holidays.
Sow three or four seeds in thumb
pots, and plunge them in box of
sand. Sow only the seeds Of the large,
Towering kind and thin to one plant
in pot. Repot when the pot is full
Of roots until the plant is established
In five-inch pots.
Secure all the fallen leaves you can,
for they are invaluable about the gar
den. Use them as mulch and protec-
ton for the flower beds and individual
plants and shrubs; bank pits, sold
frames and hot beds with them. Pile
them In a corner Of the garden or bury
them and make leaf mold. Store them
near the chicken house, to be used for
the scratching shed.
Give transplanted flowers plenty Of
time to recoup. Do not water them too
much, or the soil will become sour
and further retard the growth Of the
plant. Do not place in too warm
window, for until the growth starts
they want to be in shady place.
If plant looks sickly, do not at
once begin to stimulate 1t with liquid
fertilizer. Do not repot 1t until the
the growth starts. Amateurs are lia-
Bile to give too large pots.

Children fear the dark; in way they're prm-
tive men. And so do we all, when our thoughts
go wabbling, fear the black of night.
But with most of us this fear is recognized as
the survival of an outgrown ignorance We ban
ish it from us because we have come to realize
that the dark is nothing at all. We have come
to know that it's simply negative, being in
truth but the absence of light.
Have we though, as firmly grasped the truth
that all evil, all that fear, is just as surely
nothing at all? The evil is simply negative,
being in itself nothing. 'Tis but the absence of
that development we call good.
Hence it has been said, "Resst not evil" and
wisely, for who would waste his time fighting a
negative phantom?
But also it has been said, "OvercOme evil with
good"
