So shall I live my lease Under the sky of peace, Cool as a flower and heavenly clean, A great many persons miss having 4 fine roses in their gardens from not ‘4 knowing how to prune them. It is oftâ€" | 1 en & sorrowful sight to pass a place !4 in which are handsome shrubs and !} roses and see the ruin and disfiguro-‘ ‘ ment caused by lack of knowledge of l what pruning is for. It is not always | the proprietor who is at fault a.lto-‘ gether. It is sometimes the case that s one looking for work comes along and professing a knowledge of pruning is set to work to prune the roses and shrubs. It is strange that in nearly , every case of this kind the pruner‘s idea of what is the proper way to prung is that all young shoots of the preâ€" vious season‘s growth should be lopâ€" ped off. This is sometimes done, leayâ€" ing the shrub ballâ€"shaped, at other times with a flat top. These notes are on the pruning of the rose, but it may be said here that most shrubs must not have the young shoots of last season‘s making out away, Of there will be no flowers the coming summer. As to roses, the pruning must depend entirely on what class they belong to. What are known as daily roses, which are those that flower all throuzh the season, and embrace Teas, Bourbons, Chinas and Noisettes, and some hyâ€" brids, need close pruning. The flowers come' from young shoots of the same season. Cut down almost to the ground, strong shoots will succeed, which will bear flowers on their ends. Not that they need such close cutting down as that, if the branches are cut down to half their length it will be found to answer very well. Few other roses need cutting back as much as these do, so that after determining whether a certain bush is an overâ€" blooming one or not, the (iration of bow to prune it can soon settled. It may be added here that these roses are the least bhardy of any. . J The next important class consists of what are called Hybrid Perpetuals, or June roses. They are so named beâ€" ca.se they flower freely in June, but bhardly at all after that, excepting a stray bloom or two. The flowering is quite different from that of the othâ€" ers, They are like almost all flowerâ€" ing shrubs, producing their blossoms from the shoots made the previous seaâ€" son; therefore these shoots must be well looked after. The character of this rose is to make a few strong shoots, of a length perhaps three to four feet. These shoots should be cut back to leave about twoâ€"thirds of what there were. Leave two feet of what was a threeâ€"foot shoot. From these pruned stems there should come an abâ€" undance of flowers. If cut down as o2 d is P TT low as the everbloomers should be there will be no flowers. What are called climbing roses should be pruned in the same way as June roses,. A little cutting back of strong shoots, and a close cutting,of weak ones, is the rule. Cmy emmnem Comes es t t Such old sorts as the Prairie rose and its seedlings, climbing _ Teas and Noisettes come into this class. Of late years the Russian roses, known as Rugosa, have become well known. These are very hardy, and have given a desirable lot of seedlings] of different colors,. They do not need very much pruning, but should have a little. Very often a bush may be unshapely, and a pruning, to give it good shape, may be a great help to it. The old sweetbrier rose and the Ausâ€" trian brier are valued in every garâ€" den. They need little pruning; neithâ€" er does the beautiful hardy yellow one, called Persian Yellow. There are a few wild roses bearing single pink flowers, which are often found in garâ€" dens, both because of their flowers and their having numerous red berries on in the fall, which last all winter., These, too, need but little pruning. As a rule, roses are pruned in spring. It is thought that as hard winters are \apt to in jure the shoots, it is better to wait until freezing weather is over to see what injury, if any, has been done, and then cut away the in jured part. In the case of those mentioned as better for a good cutting back of the branches, some practice the prunâ€" ing back early in the winter, and then cover up completely all that is left of the bush. On the other hand, a rose or any other bush pruned in the fall pushes into growth earlier than a springâ€"pruned one, and this early growth is not desirable where late freezings sometimes occur.

The inner bark, which strips off after materation, forms a kind of cloth, The fibres of this inner bark are simply placed side by side, and several layers are put one on another, and beaten out flat, till the material becomes as thin as muslin. After bleaching it is ready to be made up into clothing. ISLAND OF CEUTA, WHICH MAY BE ADMIRAL WATSON‘S BASE OF OPERATIONS. Ceuta, Spain‘s pet island colony for convicts, which commands the apâ€" proach to Gibraltar and the Mediterâ€" ranean, is destined to become a base of supplies for Commodore John C. Watson and the squadron with which he is to attack the seacoast of Spain. The Canaries are all there is between him and this grim island, where, unâ€" der the cover of forbidding walls and mountains, Spain has tortured her exâ€" iled prisoners for centuries past. Comâ€" modore Watson has been ordered to command a detachment of Admiral Sampson‘s fleet and to make of them a transatlantic squadron. ‘The Canâ€" aries subjugated and the American flag hoisted over the islands, he is to proceed direct to the Island of Ceuta and establish â€" a base of supplies. Once in goaaession of the selfâ€"fortified is land and town of Ceuta, Commodore Watson should be able to run back for supplies of coal and ammunition alâ€" most as easily as though he were off the coast of Florida, â€" Ceuta is a rockâ€" ribbed, rockâ€"bound island off the northâ€" â€"ast coast of Fez, Morocco, and is twelve hours‘ sail from the entrance to the Straits of Gibraltar. It might as well be called the island of the sevâ€" dash BAVE THE PIECES CLOTH OF BARK The Death of the Disstpated Lord Lyttlcton a Century Ago. Lord Lyttleton, in the winter of the year 1778, had retired from the metâ€" ropolis, with a party of his dissipated companions, to profane the Christmas at his country house, Pit Place, near Epsom, in Surrey. They had not long abandoned themselves to the indulgence of their dissolute orgies, when a sudâ€" den and unexpected gloom was cast over the party by the extraordinary depression cf spirits and dejection of countenance which were observed to take possession ef their bost. It was in vain that bhe attempted to silence the inquiries of the guests on the subâ€" ject of Pis dejection, They were conâ€" vinced that he was iil, or had met with loss at play, or was crossed in love; and his denial of all these imputations only excited a more eager curiosity to be informed of the origin of his deâ€" pression. Thus urged, be at last deâ€" termined to reveal the secret (hat so painfully depressed him. P viesa c cugee Es M en Cmy Eis The night before, on his retiring to bed, after his servant was dismissed, and hbis light extinguished, he hbad heard a noise resembling the flutterâ€" ing of a dove at his chamber window. This attract»d bis attention, to the spot, when, looking in the direction of the sound, be saw the figure of an unbhappy female, whom he bad seduced and deserted, and who, when desertâ€" ed, had put a violent end to her own existence ; she was standing in the apâ€" erture of the window from which the fluttering souad had proceeded. The form approached the foot of the bedâ€" the room was supernaturally light, the objects of the chamber were distinctâ€" ly visible. Raising her hand and pointâ€" ing to a dial which stood on the manâ€" ‘telpiece of the chimney, the figure, with severe solemnity of voice and 'Imanuer, announced to the appalled and conscienceâ€"stricken man that at that \very hour on the third day after the | visitation his life and bis sins would | be concluded ana nothing but their punâ€" ishment remain, if he availed himself | not of the warning to repentance which he had received. _ E+ Lord Lyttleton‘s guests remained toâ€" gether to await the completion of the time so ominously designated by the vision.

All around are fortifications, the high hills put up their by nature and the: prison walls had moats built in succesâ€" sion by conquerors and remodeled and rebuilt by their â€" successors _ and strengthened again by the Spaniards when they made of it a prison hell. The seven walls coiled about the town itself are thick and impassable, save here and there where arched bridges have been cut through.

BEGINNING OF HOSTILITIES A GHOST STORY. the I ONTARIO ARC TORONTO wWOMEN IN JAPAN. The marvelous development and adâ€" vancement of Japan within the last quarter century has been marked by most radical changes in the treatment and social status of women. . The opâ€" ponents of woman suffrage, will find Japan a fruitful field for their misâ€" sionary labor, for in no part of the world is woman toâ€"day making more rapid advancement toward equality of the sexes. Visitors to Japan comparatively a few years ago found the gentlewomen of the island empire popularly regardâ€" ed as mere toys, willing to be sold into virtual slavery for about $6 a month. No stigma attached to this custom, and the daughter soia into slavery for the support of her parents often returned afterward to her grade of society and contracted an honorable marriage. At that time Japanese women of the highâ€" er.grade, Jed gay and easy lives, and were taught that woman‘s chief jewel was . i;z';z-o:lvnc-e'.“-afid_i writer in the Criterion has fittingly described them as ‘"mere glorified toys." | _ The magician‘s wand which is rapâ€" idly transferring a bhalfâ€"savage, semiâ€" barbaric race into one of the most enâ€" lightened nations of the earth is also elevating the status of Japanese woâ€" manhood. â€" No better evidence of that fact is nceded than is shown by the announcement that a university for the higher education of women is shortly to be opened in Tokio. ‘This institution. which will cost $200,000, has the enthusiastic indorsement of the nobility and the heads of government, from the emperor and empress down to the petty officials of state.
