VanderpooL ; Ringwood Churdi was :n Fishamble Street Music hail, Dublin, on April 13, 1742, under direction of the composer. Ladies were' requested to "refrain from wearing hoops" and gentlemen to "leave their swords at 'home," in order that a capacity audience might swell the proceeds to relieve needy children and the inmates of debtors' prisons. "The Messiah" was given its English premiere before the court at Covent Garden in March, 1743 George II was so overpowered by the grandeur of the music portraying the King of Kings that he sprang to his feet in reverent acclaim at the opening bars of the Hallelujah chorus, an action which led to the modern custom. * Holly Now Grown In Many Parts of Land Grown on the hillsides of «the coastal states from Maine to Texas and up the Mississippi valley to Missouri, holly is a pretty but slowgrowing plant. * Leaves are evergreen, the margins of which are provided with rather widely separated spines. Weak and close-grained, tho wood is exceptionally white, making it highly desirable in the manufacture of woodenware, cabinets and interior finishing. As a result of scientific discoveries holly cuttings will take root quickly when they are treated with hormonelike substances. Christmas holly has been converted into potted plants. Those plants can be set out as a permanent ornament for landscapes. Growth regulating substancesindole butyric add gnd naphthalene acetSmide--are^ on tho market in liquid or powdered form under va rious trade names. The chemicals are applied to plantings of fresh cuttings kept moist, cool and well shaded. p- . SIXTY YEARS AGO I:" lSlSWat Kimball, who has been at'work for H. E.
