way insures quality rather than
quantity of bloom. If more numet sus
flowers, smaller in size and on shorter
stems are wanted, prune less severely,
but, even in this case, cut away at
least half of the old wood. The Boum
bons, such as Malmaison,are except

accordingly, should be only slightly
shortened back. The severe pruning,
it may be, well to remember, is best in

A WONDERFUL FORTRESS
Constantinople Comparable to Gibrai-
tar—Gecamb Great inSpiteof Turk
Is Constantinople really worth
while as a fortress? The answer is
in its history . and :n its natural
features. Situated at thesouthern
entrance of the narrow straits of the
Bosphorus where no ships can pass
out of range' of modern artillery, the
city stands literally in ;the road of
ale comers. Further it is built on a
high rocky promontory, not so high
or as menacing in appearance as
Gibraltar, but all the same high
enough to "hewn down upon the great-
est dreadnought imaginable. The V
of this rock juts out into the Bos•
phorus and Marmara. It is garden
and minaret -crowned but impregnable•
to assault For the strength of its
landward side .history must speak. In.
1912 the triumphant Balkan allies
got within thirty reties of the city at
the famous lines of Tchataldja—and
stopped there. Contrary to every-
body's
verybody's expectations the victors of
Kirk K•ilissele and Lule Burgas failed
utterly to repeat. The secret Was not
only Turkish valor but the natural
ruggedness of the country near the
imperial city, In 1878 the Russian
host swept right up to San Stefano,
a suburb of Constantinople, and were
ready in mind to celebrate Mass next
Sunday ie Saint Sophia .for the first
time since April, 1453. But they made
a treaty with the holders of Con-
atantinople, at San Stefano, just live
miles from the prize. The hills and
an Inferior foe were too many for them.
The Turks had their- own troubles
in taking the city. They crossed the
Dardanelles, oet up their capital at
Adrianople and conquered much of
Greece, Macedonia, Thrace and 13u1-
garia a generation before they could
succeed In their repeated assaults by
both lana_ mid sea upon the city which
PY
the wise general Constantine had
selected as worthy to supersede Rome
as the capital of the world. At the
last they brought over 200,000 men
and hundreds of ships to the attack,
and a defence by army of only 9;000
held them out of the city for sever.,)
weeks.

Could Hardly Straighten_ Up For Pain.
When the back becomes lame and
starts to ache it is the sure sign of kidney
trouble.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure the aching
back by curing the aching' kidneys be-
neath—for itis really the kidneys aching
and not the back.
This is why "Doan's" cures are lasting
—the medicine cures the actual cause of
the disease, the kidneys,
Mr, J. W. Aylett, South Oshawa, Ont.,
writes: "I have much pleasure in
recommending Doan's Kidney Pills.
Last summer I' suffered with a lame back.
Sometimes I could hardly straighten up
for the pain. I read about Doan's
Sidney Pills and decided to give them a
trial. I cat truthfully say that the
second box cured me. I can recommend
them to all as a speedy cure to all suffer-
ing with backache."
Doan's Kidney Pills are 50c per box,

When Turkey Made Progress
' Once they had taken Constantinople
the advance of the Ottoman power
into Europe really began. Within two
generationsthe empire had readied
over alt of moder.p. Greece, Albania,
Bulgaria, Servia, Montenegro, Bosnia,
Herzegovina, most of Hungary, and
all of Roumania and even into South-
ern
outhern Russia. Twice the' Turk was able
to besiege Vienna and threaten the
very existence of the Chrlstia-t West.
Ole could have done -none of these
things while that one city remained
on his flank, menacing his commerce
with the east, the transport of his
troops from Asia, and every city which
its fleet could reach. Before it could
menace the east with its fleet Con-
stantinople had to have a harlhor
which no enemy could reach without
capturing the city itself. Constantin-
ople had then and has still that sort
of harbor. The so-called Golden Horn,
the harbor of the city, is a natural
harbor and one of the greatest and
safest in the world, uninmportant as
it may look in modern shipping
records, The character of this ]harbor
is second in significance only to the
situation of the city itself. The Horn
is an inlet from the Bosphorus. It
Is six miles long and up to half a mile
wide. So it is large enough for about
1,200 of the largest ships to ride at
anchor at one time, The safety and
availability of the harbor are abso-
lutely natural, There are no great
Currents although the inlet receives
the waters of the streams which the
Turks call the Sweet Waters of
Europe. There are no marshes, sandy
flats, or rocks, for the deep water
comes right up to the land every-
where. No extensive wharves are
required. Most important of all, the
high peninsula of Stamboul or the
city proper curves are7nd the port
from the south and the high land of
the two great suburbs of Galata and
Pero protect it from the north and
east. Without artillery far superior
in range to that of the defending
forts of the city no enemy ceuld'
damage shipping in the harbor. The
city's fleet can always skulk behind
the city for safety, Danger from
storms is out of the question.
A Great, Harbor
With ,such a harbor the trade of
their capital has thriven in spite of
the Ottomans. Recent statistics show
that in 1910 just 20,208 vessels caller

have been exported from it in recent
years owing to disturbed political
conditions, in the Balkan peninsula.

ducts as carpets, ruga, attar of roses,
filigree work, lambskins, wool, and
embroidery, most being the result .ot
handicrafts or goods sent out before
manufacture. With safe land routes
to central Europe and with non -

the manufactures and exports of the
city should increase enormously,

gathered his firewood by ''hook and
by crook,' and, though neither hook
nor crook are now in use, the expres-
sion is as popular as it was in the
middle ages.
