WHERE ANGELS FEAR To
TREAD.
(Duluth. Mimi, HeraId.l


A certain publisher announces
that "A Tale of Two Cities" is to be
rewritten by "a clever and suitable
writer who knows precisely the
form which readers desire"
Heaven forbid
The readers who would like the
result of such an operation do not
need it, for they already have
horde OF claptrap books and maya
zines TO meet their requirements.
The publisher who would pro-
pose. and the hack writer who
would undertake. such an operation
as this are by their very effrOntery
proved incompetent to do the work.
Every lover of Dickens - and
there are millions of them still
will shudder at the prospect Of
course no lover of Dickens need
read such a production: and yet the
horrible fascination OF il will in
evitably lead most OF them 10 read
il grinding their teeth and clench-
ing their hands murderously while
they do il.
The reading world probably is
familiar with the complacent style
OF those who undertake such tasks
as that proposed by this publisher.
Once upon a time a clergyman
who was Unfortunately satisfied with
himself without adequate excuse for
il undertook TO rewrite the gospels,
putting them into up-to-date STYLE.
All We remember Of his work is this
perversion Of the shortest sentence
in the Bible-"Jesus wept." which
he rendered thus. The Savoir OF
the world burst into a cOpious food
Of tears"
There ought - be a law against
such appalling vandalism.

Softwood, or greenwood. cuttings
are made soon after blooming from
wood OF the current years growth.
This may be taken from the stems
that have grown roses or those that
have not. There are claims that it
makes a difference which sort OF
shoot is used, but good, strong
shoots are the most important con-
sideration. These should be cut 10
three eyes. All the leaves should
be removed except the top one. and
all the leaflets should be removed
from this except parts of two.
These cuttings may or may not be
made with a heel" which in this
sense is a piece of older wood at
the bottom of the cutting. The
cuttings should be planted at once
in light loamy soil or in sand in a
bed where the atmosphere may be
inclosed.
A cold frame or spent hotbed is a
suitable place if the glass is shaded
or a cheeseclOth frame is used in

BOLD is the bloOdess chevaer
Who sits in his easy leathern chair
And revels in battles and babbles in blood,
Far from the frost and field and food,
Too rich fat busy 10 fight.
Free from the OF the fatal flight,
OF shrapnel and the gruesome hell
OF bursting bomb and shieking shell.
BRAVE is the knight 1abby and grim
Who sits back of dollars up TO his chin
And smites the legions hip and thigh
Where danger of bullets bombs is nigh.
Who fights the battles of King and State?
Who braves the horrors that others make?
Who faces the bayonets deadly CLEAN?
Who knows the naked CHASTITY mien
OF hungry death, and the stream
OF mangled from trench and field?
Who is ready and willing TO yield
The full measure OF all that is dear in life
To the beloved country that calls to strife
Who asks question when his country's life
Is the gage OF battle and passion is rife?
Ii is the boy God bless him! Now in the past
Upon him the hideoUs burden is cast
Under every flag and every sky
To him falls the duty to do and die,

Home Gardening
Hnts--A Series
How to Propagate
Roses.
BY a Government Expert.

The propagation OF roses for his
own use is an essential part OF the
work Of the home gardener if he
would reduce expenses and add a
new interest 10 rose growing.
The plants are propagated from
seed. by hardwood cuttings, soft
wood cuttings. layers. budding and
grating. The rose species used as
shrubs. such as the Rugosa, Caro-
lima. Prairie and Wichuraiana are
propagated by root sprouts and the
others named by hardwood cut
tings. The Wichuraiana is natur-
ally a trailing plant which takes
root near any eve. BY cutting root
ed stems into pieces so that each
one has some roots and on eye each
one will make a plant.
Some rose species, like Rosa hui
gonis, are difficult to grow from cut
tings and are therefore grown by
layering; that is, by covering shoots
with earth until they are well root
ed before cutting them from the
plant. The rooted stems OF the
Wichuraiana might be considered
TO be natural layers.

Climbing roses are mostly prop

there is danger of injury from

pieces OF five or six inches, with
the upper cut just above a bud. and

not TO injure the calluses that have
formed while the cuttings were
buried. Sometimes better results
are obtained by planting in partial
shade.
Frequently cuttings made in win
ter or early spring do nearly as well
as those made in the fall, but in
the north there is always danger
of the wood being injured during
the winter.

THE LOCAL PHILANTHR0PIST'S
OPPORTUNITY.

No movement has ever been proposed IN
Brownsville more worthy Of the support Of
its people that that which has for it, OBJ
iect the furnishing of the four private
apartments which will be a part of the new
Charity Hospital. now under construction.
The fact that this splendid charity was the
free gift TO Brownsville of a number of
northern philanthrophistS, who we're in~pir-
ed by that noble hearted woman. Mrs. j.
Borden Hartman. should lncite upon the
part Of Brownsville people a desire to do
their part towards the furnishing of the
hospital. Nothing was ever more needed in
this place than Il hospital. The humble
apartments al the Charity Home. which was
never designed to b. 4 hospital. have been
used for hospital purposes. because there
was no other place where people might Sc
cure such accommodations. Many per
sons of means have heen received in the
Home and benefited by it, illustrations.
because there wa no hospital here.
The Charity Hospital soon To be ready
for use will fill n long felt want. in this
respect. for it will comprise four private
apartments which will be al the disposal Of
any reputable physician for the use Of pat
tents who can pay for the privilege. This
is expected To add something To the income
of tho hospital. There are the apartments
which il has been proposed should bc fur
nished by Brownsville philanthropy.
The Herald doubts not that our citizens
will see readily the fitness of this PROPOSE
ton. that Brownsville should do ut least
this much towards the establishment II this
charitable institution which has been be
slowed upon our little city by the generos-
itv of northern philanthropists. Already
