A movement for backyard agricul-
turc," iaaugurated in Ontario. should
be extended to this country, says the
Providence Bulletin. It is not neces-
sary to have a large tract Of land for
gardening. Much can be done at small
expense on a city yard of ordinary
size. An area of 40 by 80 feet is worth
~cultivating. Tomatoes, lettuce, rad
fishes, beans and onions, all valuable
food products, can be grown within
the limits of q house lot. Backyard
agriculture" will not support the peo-
pie, but It will add materially to the
food supplies of the country. and thus
will have effect upon prices. The
Canadian government Is wise in Its
advocacy Of "a vegetable garden for
every home"

Along the water fronts, where many

the rough-and-tumble fighters OF the

knife in the back or a Delaying pin
over the "coco" serves its purpose,
generally followed by the hasty de-
scent of the victim into the river.
In the Mulberry Bend district, how
ever, where the Camorra and the
Malta strike terror into the hearts Of
the Italian-bOrn citizens, there Is an
artistic element that enters into the
execution of a crime. The busy streets
thronged with people will be damned
to capacity when the news Of a shoot
ing or the swift keen message Of the
Camorra is discovered. Upon the ar

 Evolution admits. as we have seen, that something has befallen man, and pravity that has left him with an un- fortunate and unhealthy bias to things at least inconvenient; but still noth- ing that could incur guilt or that can- not be removed by proper environ ment and education. The Bible claims that what has befallen man is sin; and that this sin has wrecked man in every department of his complex being-spirft soul, body.
 This is the Bible teaching that has given rise to the term total deprav- ity' Not total in the sense that man is as bad as he can be: on the con- trary, he grows worse and worse under it's action; but total in the sense that nothing in man has es- capped the blighting touch of sin mentality weakened, till it is impos- sible to imagine what the unfallen man probably was in mental power Body weakened, depraved from its pristine glory, till nobody can imagine what a beautiful being he was phy- sically when he came forth from the i creative hand of God.
