The counsel for the defence objected to the child be- ing sworn, saying that it was impos- sible she could understand the nature of the oath. | “There may be something in what you say,” sald Maule. “Come up, my dear, and sit by me."' The child was lifted up te the bench. “Now, my child, you are going to be asked some questions.” “Yes, sir.” “Now, supposing you were a naughty little girl, and told stories, do -you know where you would. go to?” “No, sir,” answered the child. “Neither do I." said Maule; “‘an | excelient answer.

S ‘ The best time to set out nearly all kinds of fruit, im this province, is early in May, the date depending up- on. the soil_and--weather-conditions. Currants and gooseberries are excep- tions to this rule, it being generally best to plant them in September, as they begin growth very early in spring. Currants. | Red and black currants are native and grow over a wide range of terri- tory in Canada. They.are planted four to six feet apart, as the bushes take up considerable space after three or four years. Plant in the autumn. The currant roots are near the surface, hence if the soil is h and dry the crop will suffer. A rich, well-drained, clay loam though they do well in most soils. A good dressing of manure before planting, well worked into the soll, will make conditions better. There is little danger of giving the currant too much fertilizer, Keep from six to eight main branches each season and Places. A good rule is not to have any branches more than three years of age, as younger wood gives strong- er growth and better fruit.

After a cane bears fruit it is of no more use, and so may be cut out immediately. Of the other canes, take out the weak ones and leave | pee about six good canes to bear the fruit or eeily in the spring, to two or two and a half feet in height. The best varieties are Cuthbert and Herbert. . Strawberries. The strawberry is a very hardy Plant and will grow on a variety of soils.

This method will give the greatest ! quantity of berries; while, if they were planted closer and all the run- ners cut off, a larger plant and larger berries could be p uced, but would take considerable time and care. “and Raspberct Worth | Strawberries {* is best, al-jexplorers made a remarkable discov- > | Ind. could exercise-over them the pow r Yshe made a similar jacket for one of {children is a daughter who; though Was ©8, | case.
