LastIno Memories,

Loneliness seems forever impossible
since you went out and left the gate
ajar and all the world came in and
all its sorrows. The griefs that enter
in some strange way solace my own,
and this increasing sense of the
anguish of the world is lightened and
lifted by sharing it with other folk,
1t is good to feel so passionately and
utterly a part of all that lives and
throbs and suffers. How for
tunate and how unusual in so small a
house that the hall leads all the way
through from green to green. We shall
get all the breezes that blow, as the
house faces the west as all houses
should face; and always and forever
we shall hear the stream. There's a
step there at the back, down to the
garden walk, that you must remember,
you who are absent-minded. 1 keep
forgetting that you are dead.-From
the Worn Doorstep.

When God Probes.

God loves us too much to let what
would hurt us stay with us. So, be-
cause of this love, he himself is will
ing to hurt us in order to save us from
the greater hurt. Probing is done in
order to get rid Of something that
would injure. And so, as Prebendary
Webster has said: "Do not be afraid
of Gods probing. He never wounds
except to heal. He never humbles ex-
cept to exalt. Do let God deal with
you; do not be afraid of his probing"
Most of US have been afraid of it; we
may be dreadlng 1t just now. We shall
not fear if we remember what kind of
love is back of it: that all-sacrifcing
love that died for US on the cross. So
we can safely, gladly let ourselves go
utterly into his hands and ask those
nail-pierced hands to do with us what
they will. Then he can begin to show
us his love as we may never yet have
known the meaning of love-Sunday

THE TULIP IN POTS.

Some varieties Of tulips are well
adapted to the flower pot. The C1u-
siana vent grows to a height of ~
inches, with slender stem. The
leaves are very long and narrow and
the flower sometimes measures two
inches across. This variety is Of the
funnel form, with bright lemon-yel-
low flowers, with light shading of
green or white, sometimes streaked
with pink. 1t is very fragrant, and
when properly cultivated is one Of the
most beautiful Of all the, tulip family
The tulip is easy to cultivate, as II
thrives well in either heavy or light
soil. Il does better, however, in rather
light soil, well-drained and fairly rich
Those grown in heavy, black soil pro
duce smaller flowers, and the colors
are not nearly so bright. In some o1
the uplatds of Virginia the ideal tulil
soil is found for the growing of bulbs
and it is said to be almost identica
with that of Holland, where this
flower is so successfully grown.

Fifth, a dormant plant requires but
little water. 1t Is not in q condition to
make use of much water, and an over
supply of it will surely result in harm.
When the plant begins to grow then in
crease the quantity and proportion this
to the development made.
All these things must receive due
consideration by the amateur who
would know how to care for his or her
plants intelligently.
Study them. Experiment with them.
In this way you soon become familiar
with the individuality Of each one and
you will be able to give to each the
care 1t needs.
We are often asked for some rules
for watering plants. It Is impossible
to make any rule that can be followed
strictly.
The only rule have ever been able
| to give Is this: when the surface OF
the soil looks dry, water. Use enough
| to thoroughly saturate all the soil iI
the pot.
You can tell about this by the
escape of some at the bottom of the
pot. Then wait until the dry look ap
pears on the surface again and appl!
water as before.
But, as I have said, one will have
to modify this rule to fit the condi
tions. 1t is a general rule, subject t.
such change as may appear necessar.
to the intelligent plant grower VIII
does not believe in treating all he
plants exactly alike.
Give fertilizers to growing plant
only. A plant standing still need
none, and will be injured by the appli
cations of the food it is not In a con
dition to make use of.

DAN BEARD ADVISES SCOUTS.

Daniel Carter Beard, national COM
missioner of the Boy Scouts of Amer
lea, has issued instructions to the
scoutmasters throughout the country
urging them to see to it that "all
Scouts live up to the Scout OATH
Mr.. Beard says: eve want this to be
a great big organization. There is
nothing namby-pamby or sissified
about a real Scout. One Of the old
Scouts, a faithful friend of ours, has
recently hit the trail over the Great

buckskin man; and 7 hate to think
what would have happened to anyone
in the olden days had they ever limited
that Buffalo Bill was sissy.

scouting. We want all you men to live
up to the Scout oath like real men

can, every one Of US, be counted upon
to stand behind our president and dc

HIS OLD DREAM CAME TRUE
Miner Was Killed in the Manner That
Was ForetoId in Vision Twenty
Years Before.

In lecture at Blackwood Rev.
M. Griffin of Cross Oak, a minister
who, after forty years preaching, is
as vigorous as ever, referred to sub
consciousness, the mysterious power
that controls US even when asleep,
says a Cardiff Mail writer. Outside
the chapel one of his hearers narrated
a curious incident which happened to
Blackwood man. He lived near the
present railway station, and dreamed
one night that while working on his
stall as miner stone fell on him
and killed him.
The dream was so vivid he gave
up his, work at once and emigrated tc
America. Twenty years later he re
turned to Blackwood and sought work
In his old colliery. He was told that
no one had been working in his old
stall since he had left, and work was
found for him in the adjoining stall.
While engaged there his pick acciden-
tally struck through the coal which de-
vided him from his old stall, there
came a fall and the twenty-year-old
dream was fulfilled.

Our Little Is Needed.

If only one Of the million flowers
that bloom in the summer days, in the
fields and gardens, refused to bloom,
hiding its gift of beauty, the world
would be a little less lovely. If but
one of the myriad stars in the heavens
should refuse to shine some night,
keeping its beam locked up in its own
breast, the night would be a little dark
er. 1t makes a vast difference
in the world whether the humblest of
us be true or false in our life, whether
we sing our one little note right OR
wrong, whether we speak our one lit
tie word, or keep silent The smallest
bar of song, breathed into the world,
adds it's fragment to the worlds music.
The right thing you did yesterday
made the world little better, made ii
easier, too, for other people to do right

SCOUTS PLANT 175 ACRES.

On the high hills overlooking Lake
Michigan the Scouts Of Manistee, Mich,
have a farm of over It's acres, all
planted in beans. Herbert Hoover has
asked the Boy Scouts of America to
make the raising of beans for the SOL
diers their especial task. The work
on this bean farm is done with six
teams of horses and one tractor, all
donated by the town people. The
planting has been done by hand, as
the country is too hilly to plant with
machines. The boys who are working
on the farm are camping at the edge
of the lake.
The boys are trying to earn the
money for the development of the
Scout movement in the city. The local
council borrowed money to prepare the
land and do the planting. They believe
that the Scouts will be glad to enjoy
the advantages Of scouting, knowing
that it was the sweat Of their brows
which gave them the privilege.

For Safety 8 Sake.

Two brothers who live in an East
Lancashire manufacturing town were
noted for being exceptionally we'll
served with nasal organs.
One of the ring splnners at the mill
where they worked invited them to a
wedding, and promised to send a cab
for them, says London Tit-Bits.
The cab duly arrived. and the two
brothers entered and planked them
selves down, one at each window.
In order to create an impression dur
ing the drive to the wedding, the two
brothers were looking out Of the cab
one on either side, so that the people
could see them.
All went well until the cab came tC
a rather narrow railway arch, which
our travellers had to pas through. The
cabman looked back to take his bear
ings, and seeing the two brothers
noses sticking out of the windows or
either side, shouted:

THE CARE OF YOUR PLANTS
BY /. M. BENNINGTON.


Some persons labor under the delu-
sion that water must be applied daily
to their plants in the window garden.
More plants are killed every year
through this process than by any other
means. Plants watersd every day are
literally drowned out, unless they hap
pen to have the best of drainage.
Others go on the "little-and-often''
plan-that is, they apply water in small
quantities whenever they happen to
think of 1t.
The result is the surface of the soil
is kept moist, and from this the owner
takes it for granted that the soil be.
meath must be properly damp.
Nine times out of ten examination
will show that an inch or two below
the surface the soil is dry. Of course
the roots Of the plant cannot do theil
work under such conditions. The plant
soon sickens and eventually dies and
the owner wonders what caused the
| trouble.
Now, in watering plants severa-
| things have to be considered. FRS
the nature of the plant. Some like 6
great deal of water, others only mod
crate amount.
Second, the soil. A close, loamy sol
dries out slowly, therefore it will no
require as frequent or as large appli
cations as a light porous soil from
which moisture evaporates rapidly.
Third, location and exposures mus
be taken into consideration. Plants il
the sun or a very warm place, will
need q good deal more water tina,
those in full or partial shade or Low
temperature.
Fourth, the size of the pot must b.
reckoned with. The soil in large po
will not dry out for two or three days
but the soil in a small pot will becom
quite dry every day. Little moistur
needed.

BOY
SCOUT 5
IL
II III y -
Conducted by National Council Of the
Boy Scouts of America)
THE FIFTlETH BOY A SCOUT

About one boy in fifty will remain
after the feast and of his own accord
offer to clear up the things or to wash
the dishes. A number of others would
help if asked. A stone is on the pave
ment where traffic is passing, and au-
tos may hit it and skid, or it may be
a piece of glass. One boy in fifty will
stop and pick it up and put it off the
road, where it will do no damage,
where 40 boys will pass by and never
think or care about who is damaged
by it.
The fiftieth boy is the one that is
wanted in business, in positions OF
trust, in any occupation where care
fulness is necessary. By this it is not
meant that only one boy in fifty will
learn to be careful, for a majority Of
the boys in time learn by experience
to be careful and thoughtful, though 1t
sometimes takes costly experience to
teach them. And here is where the
trouble lies. Forty-nine boys do not
heed what is told them about being
careful, where one boy does, and the
forty-nine learn in the costly school
of experience.
Scouting makes a fiftieth boy Of
more than half the boys who engage in
it. The observance Of the Scout law
makes boy careful, thoughtful, relia-
BILE, helpful. In looking for a chance
to do a good turn a Scout becomes
thoughtful of others. He forgets self
and seeks Others good. A piece of
glass is where boy will step on it or
an auto tire will be punctured. The
Scout removes it and unties the knot
in his handkerchief to remind him
that he must every day do good turn.
Doing a good turn soon becomes hab-
it with him. This makes friends for
him-friends of the right sort. Good
turns are like good seed in good
ground-they bear crop and always
come back with increase to the one
who does them. The Saviour of men
taught his disciples to do good turns.
He said: "a cup of cold water given
in the name of disciple shall not lose
it's reward"
The next time you get back from a
hike or cruise, be the fftieth boy.
Don't make a run for the shore with
your belongings, anxious to get home,
and shirk the work of putting things
away and mooring the boat. Be the
careful fellow of the bunch, and stay
until. everything is snugly put away.
See the thing through. Be the fftieth
boy.
