The Garden in August.

The first week in August is the
time for sowing lettuce seed for head
ing in the open garden in the fall.
Prepare a fine, fertile seed bed and
scatter the seed thinly broadcast and
rake them in lightly. This is better
than sowing in rows where they are
apt to be crowded and do not make
as nice plants as where they grow
singly. Market men grow Big Boston
entirely. / find that / get as much
good lettuce in the smaller and closer

yirginia,s Gift to Britain.

Virginia has presented Britain with
a statue of George Washington.
There was a time when the mere pro-
posal of such a thing would have been
taken as an insult, but now that it is
an actually, it is an evidence of the
re-establishment Of cordial relations
between America and England. The
statue of Washington was accepted
and set up in Trafalgar Square,
where it will share the prominence
hitherto accorded to Nelson and
some others.
Times change and men change with
them. This bronze efigy of the Gath
er of his Country" who was once
proclaimed a rebel by the English is
now acclaimed in England as zone
of the greatest Englishmen who ever
lived" 1t is a replica in bronze of
Houdon's famous work in marble
which stands in the rotunda of the
State Capitol in Richmond, Virginia.
1t was presented by the people of Vir-
ginia to Great Britain and unveiled
June 3Oth. Similar ceremonies had
marked the placing of busts of Wash
ington in St. Paul's Cathedral, Lon
don; in the Town Hall at Liverpool,
and in Sulgrave Manor, the ances-
trail home in Washington.
\ In his speech of presentation, Pres
ident Henry Lewis Smith of Wash
ington and Lee University, declares,
the Literary Digest points out, that
the Houdon statue is the effgy of one
"who forsook Great Britain's flag, re-
jected her sovereignty, and fought
against her king" but that with
splendid and characteristic magma
inmity she had answered the chal-
lenge by placing the n time rebel
on a pedestal amid the mighty mon
uments and memories in Trafalgar
Square,"
Lord Curzon, in accepting the
statue said that in answer to the
question, why Englishmen gladly and
proudly welcomed the statue of
Washington, it was
Because he was a great English
man-one of the greatest Englishmen
that ever lived; because, though he
fought us and vanquished US he was
fighting for ideals and principles
are as sacred to US as they
are to the American people, and
which are embodied in the very fbers
of our common ~race."-Augusta

vacated pigsty and later annexed an
