The first of the trenches was taken without opposi- tion. It had been. practically obliter- ated by our artillery.

 Major Perry was hit before we reached the first treEch. The third trench was taken by the first three waves, supported by the fourth" But it was hers that opposition was esl- countered. A Boche machine gun on the left had been dragged up from be- low, and ably handled by Roche ser geant, whose face was streaming with blood, and they enfiladed our line in a most disastrous manner.

WASHING SILKS.

Make a suds by dissolving good soap in hot water. When the water has cooled SO that the hand can easily be borne in it put in the silk and wash gently until all spots have disappear ed.

Not a few simple wrappers and
 night dresses have pretty finish in one big, floppy bow, placed at bust or waist, as the case may be, and here, as one has to consider labor as much as money in these days, simple trieh of fixing so that removal and replac- ing are quite easy, may be of interest. It consists merely of sewing a flat linen button on the reverse of the bow, and making a buttonhole to take it at the desired point. This done, it becomes simply matter of unbutton- ing and buttoning again when the necessary visits to the washtub are paid.

sued in constructing the Connecticut Western. The towns issued bonds, and they received in return stock. The latter. of course, soon disap- peared. The effect of bonding all She smaller towns has always been a mat ter of discussion, as to whether it paid them. A common theory has been that the big centers got the trade and the small places helped open the way for the trade that left them. Hartford put $508,080 into the Valley road and s750,000 into the Connecti- cut Western. This bought stock and the stock became illustrated paper, but, for this city, it was money well expended. The roads opened up the whole valley for local trade and gave Us Litchfield county; and the money lost by the community through col lapse of the stock came back to it through increased business and con- sequently increased value of real es- tate and improvement in the tax list. Still, it was not long before the state adopted a constitutional amendment forbidding towns to bond themselves for railroad construction.-Har Courant.

GARDEN LESSON NO. a.
By PROF. THOMAS SHAW,
Noted AEricuIturfst.

But few vegetables. IL any. are to
be more highly priced than the to-
mato. It can be successfully grown
in all states excepting portions OF
some bordering on Canada, where
the seasons are not long enough or
warm enough to admit OF the general
ripening Of the fruit.
The tomato will grow in any good
soil. especially when possessed Of a
fair amount OF moisture during the
period Of its growth. To insure early
growth and early ripening the plants
should be started in a hot bed. The
plants also may be purchased or what
is better, started in a vessel filled
with earth.
When quite young they may be
transplanted so as 10 give them more
room, and hardened by occasional eI-
posure to outdoor conditions before
being planted in the garden.
The plants should be put out as soon
as danger from frost is past, or even
sooner IL some provision has been
made for covering them. They are
usually set in squares and at a dis
tance OF , TO 81 feet between the
plants. Three dozen plants y should
