It is by breathing fresh, clean air,
and living fresh, clean lives, day and
night, that we avoid pneumonia and
other diseases.
Pneumonia is also called lung fever,
because the disease settles for the
most part in these precious organs
by which the breath of life is sup-
plied to our bodies. But we have
here really to deal with ae general in-
fection (that is, a "catching" mal-
ady); and sornetiznes, besides the
lungs, other -organs are gravely in-
volved because the germ and its
poisoe (its toxin) reaches. those ora
gams by way of the lymph and blood
channels. That is why, after re-
covery takes place, we have to be
eontent for a long -convalescence. For

May for the earliest ones, the later
varieties following two or three weeks

The Need is sown preferably in a
hotbed about the twentieth of April.
The seedlings kept growing alowly
until time to plant out. Some people
prefer to transplent them much as
we do cabbage plants, thus making
the plants stocky and more easily
transplanted, should the weather be
dry at the tine of planting out. It
as necessary to keep the plants cool
in the hotbed, taking the sash off en-
tirely on all mild days, coring them
only when there is a possibility of a
slight frost, Keep the plants short -
stemmed, and hardy.
Two colors are preferred: pink and
white. -The leading -seedemen have
special etrains they advertise for this
purpose.. There is not such a wide
difference, however, in their selection,

In all the largest oities wholesale
flower dealers are very arricioua to
coutract with aster growers for the
sale of these fic,wers, providing they
come up to it certain standard. That
standard is size of flowers, length of
stem and 'color. It is eonsictered
among the growers of asters that the
process is. such it alraple and satisfac-
• tory one that even the uninitiated
sUcceed as well as those with a wider
experience. The chief difficult, lies,
and it is a, difficulty, in keeping the
plants free from stem rot. It is no
uncommon sight to see an aster patch
rendered useless by this so-called un-
controllable aster trouble. The di-
sease affects the stem about one
or two inchea from the surface of the
ground and no remedy oo far has
been discovered of either checking or
controlling it. The. safest and
eiznplest way to avoid it is to keep
planting on new lands, that is to say,

Have you ever thought, however,

that there are scores of men who owe
their prominent positions to -day

nient,
This is an age of advertisement,
Advertisement of the right sort
spells success, and there never was a
time when publicity was so valuable
and the Press so powerful. And
because of this combination of thinga
the man who ean be relied upon to
speak well is asked to speak often,
and little by aitde he emerges from
obscurity and wins it reputation
which naturally brings advaecement.
Again, to speak ioublie demands
methodical thinking as one of the
Bret necessities. In order to (ATMS
oneself intelligently to others it ris
necessary to train the mind in a syss
tematic 'inanner—an advantage of
great value when compared with the
slipshod fashion in which- some peo-
ple grasp at the tiest idea which pre-
sents itself. It trains one quickly to
seize upon essential information, and
the necessity for modulating the
voice and for using good English has
its effect in social life, making eon-
versation and argument pleasant and
convincing to others. •
Public speaking, too, gives • com-
mand of temper and control of per.
°anal feeling, while for memory
training speech -making may be
strongly recommended. On this point '
Mr. IL Reginald Gibson, in his book-
let on :the art of public speaking,
says e that -an experience of twenty
years of constant public speaking.has
convinced him of, the inestimable
value of apeaking withont notes, "A
speech made with their aid, orrepeat-
ed from memory,- lacks altogether
that spontaneity and freshnese of at-, .
tack which constitutes .sci gr,eat
charm.,"
Whilst t is not suggested that every
individual eat become an orator, it
s quite, possible for the large mejee-
ty, by -care and practice, to attain.
—
o sufficient 'dexterity in the art of
public speaking to be of real value.,
"Don't allow yourself to be dis-
ouraged, says My. G-ibson. "Stick
to it and speak persistently, even if
you shake for an hour before doing -
so and apparently _lose your bear-
ings every time. No doubt your audi-
ences wrill suffer for a bit but that
is one of the inevitable necessities
of the case, and, little by little, this
sensation will: vanish, and you , may
look forward to some day taking ab-
solute pleasure in addressing an as-

Those who do not need to be with,
