W. H. KERR & SON aorticature There' are, probably, no flowers grown in the gardens of to -day which tinuedwith display of gbloom,s tand e small amount of labor and attention requir- ed in their cultivation as do the nas- turtiums. For this reason nearly everybody grows' them; but how many grow them to best advantage in the way of those fanciful arrange- ments to which these flowers so read- ily lend themselves; or in such a way as to obtain tat n the best results of flower or continuity fbloom? he first thing to be considered in the cultivation of Nasturtiums is the soil in which they are to grow. They are not over sae ' ' ttdi ons in this respect, however. but while they will grow and bloom for a time in almost anything that will furnish a root hold, from a. leached out ash heap with an inch of soil on top to a sand pit, they will well repay in h, liege and bloom the time and expense of making the soil rich with plant food. If the soil is heavy clay' some sand might be mixed with it to make it more friable. ° Where pos- sible they should be planted in soil that has been made rich the year be - tore.

Dig the soil as deep as can be done with the spade or digging fork, making it quite fine all the way through. Plant the seed early in the spring when the trees are starting out ' h in leaf, planting at intervals of eight al to ten inches if they are to climb, and ga twelve to fifteen inches if they are to trail over the grounc', setting two or three seeds in a place and covering to a depth of one inch. Be sure and press the soil down firmly so as to come in close contact with all parts of the corrugated shell which surrounds the kernel, otherwise the seed may not germinate. Seed may also be planted in the house or cold frame and when the weather becomes fine and warm set out where they are to grow. The Nasturtium demands sunshine and good drainage. e If the soil is heavy the surface of the bed should be rounded to allow surplus water to droin off. If planted in the shade a ut few the vigorous will he flzresult; but if planted in the full blaze of the sunlight the plants will be almost concealed by a profusion of the most gorgeous flowers during the late summer and early fall. As soon as the young plants appear above ground loosten the soil to a depth of one inch and keep it loose and fine throughout the season; or un- tiI the tops become too large to allow hoeing among them. When the plants have made two or three leaves thin out to stand one in a place or I transplant to places where tha seed failed to come up. The tall Nasturtium, unlike the Sweet Pea has no tendrils withwhi 'c h� Ia hundredaihnents, which May not be (dangerous but are very annoying and painful, like new. raigia, earache, sprains, burns,. bruises, insect stings, cuts, piles, etc. It is a household remedy always useful forsome trouble and should be kept in tole family medicine closet.

' ].'lace the brush so as to make the heap as near cone shape aspossible in order to give it the best appearance Theymay be planted along the edge of embankments and allowed to run down the side. If light iron .or wire fences are used they • may be planted along these, and if allowed to run over will ,make a very• showy and effective backgrcund to any garden. They may be planted in tubs or boxes raised on suitable supports and their vines allowen to hang gracefully over the sides. When grown in pots and set on the small tea tables which are now held be an z n z a e neable ad- junct tothe furnishings of the piazza or open porch during the summer months, their long vines all covered with bloom trailing downward in graceful festoons make a very attrac- tive display, When tubs•or pots card, must be taken not to allow thein to dry out too much. Water them 'fregaentlyin dry weather,soaking the earth right through, but not often enough to produce quell a strong growth of foliage that the quantity of bluon, will be sacrificed. The Dwarf or Toni Thum . Nastur- tiums, while producing bloom equally pretty and varied though somewhat smaller than the tall or running type is equally desirable initsway although not adapted to such a variety of fanci- ful arrangements or different schemes of plants. For bedding purposes or. for borders around beds of other plants it . is preferable to the other sorts. It grows in.a low, round com- pact bush about ten inches high and as many in diameter, and when used for betiding •or border purposes the plants should not be set closer than ten inches each way. If plenty of. plants are at hand, however, they may be set half that distance apart and when touching each other pull out every other one to allow room for the rest to grow and the space will soon be filled. .This trimming out is absolutely necessary with the dwarf varieties as they grow so compact that if too close they will not dry out readily, and will rot off during wet weather. Great care nnust be exercised -in watering these plants, A long period of drought is not good for them, but too much, water is worse as it not only increases the foliage at expense of the bloom but will also bring on stem -rot, the only disease that attapks the Nasturtium. The thorough cultivation of the surfaeasail turing therearleestage the Nasturtium's growth. occasional waterings during periods of severe. drought and the continual removal of all fadeth flowers to prevent the formation of seed pods .'will insure throughout the season the most wonderfully varied and exquisitely beautiful display of bloom and foliage, the brilliant hues of which, blending armoniously together add a charm, 1 their own, to the artistic flower' rden whether of the cottage lawn or the more pretentious grounds of the country villa. • Drde Van's French Female Pills • theWife's Friend A reliable to ulator; .never fails While these pills rre exceedingly powerful '12 regulating the generative portion of tLe female system, they are strictly safe to use.

Ube increase of big industries bout in the city and along the canal bank. makes employment for the. strangers Pos. i tl b P. They cannot oft _ t er skilled labor, but they are willing to be taught; and, in forms of work which need strength and endurance, the strangers excel. This is especially noticeable with the Russians -greet big, patient fellows. who talk little, do as they are told, and work for small wages -so long as they are unorganized. 'iii strangers soon find employ- ment at the Angus shops, the Loco- motive Works, at Longue Pointe; the Canada Oar Co., Dominion Car and Foundry Co., the Allis-Chalmers, Iiullool: Co., or in any oP the half dozen or more big machine shops ill Lachine and along the canal ba$tks. Industrial corporations which ogee--. ate outside the city proper, prefer that the employes shall live in the neighborhood of their work. There resulte from this heroic and yet piti- ful attempts at home -making in the dieerict, wherever it is. Along the bauzks of the . Lachine canal, in Lachine itself, many large industries have been started of recent years. The employes, or many of them, have managed to buy on the install- ment plan, bits of land on which they begin the erection of hotnes. To glance. at these, the word would seem a misnomer. In ios't eases, there is a hong wait until the lot is paid for. After this, there can only be .the buying of bits of lumber now and then as means will allow. The work of construction is mostly done in the early mornings and late evenings by the men themselves. Any old bit of wood' that can be up, an piece of tin sheeting is picked Pa Y -anything that will help to keep out wind or rain- is eagerly regniaitioned. You will see scores of these shacks on the way t o Lachine, set down in what ' is called a parr -Dominion Park. They are pitifully small. They seers to make - a mockery - of the word "°home."

And it would be strange it it were otherwise, for this annual gathering of curlers is now one bf the world's big sporting events. Enthus- iasts with stone and broom gathered in Winnipeg this year from all over Gannda-from Halifax to Vancouver and Dawson City, from Montana, form New York and Boston; and even {from old Scotland. In Winnipeg everybody curls, including of course the n a or and the city council, , s0 the visiting "brithers" have enjoyed the freedom of ,the city in quite a literal sense. In cortneetion with this year's Bon - spiel a traveling man tells a story which illustrates the odd manner in which a man's ideas are affected by even wild indulgence in certain red and yellow waters. Of course it must not be inferred that curlersarehard drinkers as a class, and it may be further explained that a Winnipeg Bonspiel brings with it quite a num- ber of sideshows, among which this year is ice -racing on the Red River. So it is very easy to blame the horse - teeing' end of .the Bonspiel carnival for the incident related by the travel - sr. Thi s knight t of the grip landed in Winnipeg when the curlers had ar- rived in some force and were fairly in possession of the town, and he had great difficulty in securing aceorn- inodation in a hotel. • Finally he secured a room on the fifth floor of a good hostelry, but when he went to bed bis slumbers were not peaceful. Late in the night he heard an ex- traordinary uproar,, and sat up in bed to listen. A number of hilarious curlers were ascending the stairway leading to the .floor on which his room was located, their brooms which they dragged behind them thumping and banging on every step. Present- ly they gained the hallway and came tramping past the traveler's door, Just then one of the curlers exclaimed in a loud voice: "It's a shame tae put a mon wi' a jag on oap o' the fifth flu.r-r." With the absence of logic peculiar to men in his stimulates', condition, the . curie r overlooked the fact that a when he registered• at the hotel a day or so before he was not by any means s "mon A't' a lag cn."
