For in death there is no'remem- bratLce olE'thee; in ;the grave who shall give thee thanks? The 'fourth argument proceeds' upon a supposition, ;that (God created ,man for this awn •glory, Which therefore • would ibe so far d'iminis'hed, if •man were ',permitted 'final'ly to perish. The body 'co'u'ld not -glorify 'God, unless raised from the dead; nor could the soul, if left in hell. The voice of thanksgiving isnot heard in the grave, and n'o'hallelu'ja'hs are sung in the pit of destruction. This plea, now urged by the ch•ttrch, was urged for het,. without all doubt, by her Saviour in his devotion, 'an'd prevai'led in his -mouth, as, `through him, it will do in hers. 6. 'I am weary 'with my groaning; all the night make 7 my bed to swim; I water my couch with my 'tears. The penitent is supplied with a fifth argument, by .the signs and fruits of a si'n'cere repentance , which put forth .themselves in him. 'Such was his sor row, and' such revenge did he take upon himself, that 'for every idle word he now poured forth a groan, like him that is in anguish through ex- trenuity. -of bodily pain, until he was weary, but yet cpntinued groaning; While the sad remembrance of each wanton folly clre'w a tear 'from the fountain's of griaf, The all -righteous Saviour himself .wept over sinners; sinners read The story, and yet return again to their sins! 17. Mine eye is consumed 'because of grief; it waxeth 'old because of all mine enemies. -Grief exhausts the animal spirits, dins the eyes, and brings on old age before its time. 'Thus it is said- 'con- cerning the man of sorrows, that "many were astonished at him, 'his visage was so marred more than any man, and 'his 'forum, more than tihe sons of men,-Isa Jhi. 14. How long, in these times, might youth and beauty last, were godly sbrrow their only enemy! • 8. Depart 'from me, all ye workers of iniquity, for the Lord hath heard the voice of mmy weeping. 9, 'The Lord bath heard 'my supplication, the Lord will hear my prayer. Repentance, having perfonnued her task, having taught lter votary to for- sake silt, and to renounce all communi- cation with shiners, now gives place to faith, which appears with 'the glad tidings of pardon anci acceptance CRUS- ing the penitent to rejoice in God his Saviour, :with joy unspeakable; and in- spiring his nheart with vigour and re - ,solution to run his course in the way of righteousness Risen to newness of life, he defies the malice, and predicts the final overthrow cif his spiritual ad- versaries. 10, Let all mine enemies, be asham- ed and sore vexed! let them return, and be ashamed suddenly.

Perennial Phlox.—'The phlox is one of the most popular hardy flowers, and there are many species, and vari- eties which, give a succession of ,bloom from spring until late summer or tau- tumn, but those usually thought of as perennial ,phlox are those which bloom In summer and are mainly' varieties of phlox panioulata, comi:m'only known as phlox decussate, :Of these, there is an early 'blooming section. ]mown as suf- 'fruticoaa, ,among ,which are a few at- tractive sorts, and there are the varie- ties of phlox arend'si which bloom from Tate spring until summer, and among which there are some fairly at- tractive sorts. The perennial phlox does well in most garden soils, but, to ensure su'dcess in dry ' seas'ons, it should be planted, if possible, where the soil :is ,not likely to dryou't. It suc- ceeds well is partial shade. Its chief enemy is red spicier,. which is very troublesome indry•weather. This tiny insect works on the underside of the leaves, and the best remedy for it is thorough }washing of that side of the leaves with water. Sulphur is also useful, The following are considered . some Antonin Mercies bright violet suf fused with white, large white centre. 'Consul H. Trost, pure red with.

In September the strawberry plants are forming their buds for next year's crop and during this period they require good nutritional conditions to make their best effort,'On land which is well sup- plied with fertility, particularly nitro- gen, it is quite possible that further applications of fertilizer are not neces- sary. but very frequently a light ap- plication of a good fertilizer in. late August will result in a big increase in next year's crop.. An 'ap'plication at. the rate of 200 pounds of nitrate of soda to the acre, made in late August, will assist in 'fruit bud formation. The nitrate should e ,broadcast on the plants during a perfectly dry day and immediately after the plants should be brushed by dragging a piece of canvas or a- broom over them to dislodge any nitrate which may have adhered to the, leaves. In this way little, if any burn- ing will result, PLANTING IRIS, September is the best time to plant iris. 'There is a wonderful range of color in this flower now, though the blue and yellow shades are probably best for general planting. Some of the most delicate colors look faded if planted against neutral backgrounds. To; bring out the very best color it is advisable to plant against a fairly dark green background, and to have the flowers in partial shade. ,Full sun for the whole of the clay will fade the iris quickly, and bleach out all but the strongest Colors, 4t is impo`ssible to draw up a best' list ofiris, individual tastes differing, but some of the 'best include' 1.

'Williamson, Crusader, Rodney, lilagn Bca, When propagating by -division sever the :rhizomes with a sharp knife, al- lowing one or two crowns to each portion. I.f a large number of plans are not required,' the larger chimps may simply be divided into two, three or four portions dtjr.ing sate iSeptetnber or October and be Planted directly in their .pertn'anent 'posit'ions. ,Where ex- tensive propagation is carried out the small portions should be planted in nursery rows and, .allowed to remain for a year, after which they ,may be in permanent planting schemes. !Spring is the best time to sow seeds and where this done flats containing sandy soil will be found excellent re- ceptacles,,as they 'may be readily and quicicly moved to any position. Seeds may of course also be sown on pre- pared seed 'beds in cold frames: Place the flats in cold frames, keep the soil moist and shade until the seedlings appear strong, after which transfer liens singly into specially - prepared beds in frames, and protect theta dur- ing the first winter of their existence. If irregular germination takes place do 1101 ,become discouraged.. This is characteristic of many varieties. Pat- ience with the :seedlings will usually be rewarded, —Culture of the Bea'r:ded Irises, A rather dry and sunny position and ordinary .garden soil' will suit these early flowering kinds. October is the best month to plant. This, however, is not imperative, but better results will follow than if the plantin'g is done Pater in the fall or during spring. The magnificence of :the 'Iris is only reveal- ed when blooming :collectively; there- fore plant in masses. Do not plant deeply, simply cover the rhizomes with soil. 'The'border should not colt - twin any fresh -stable ananure, nor s'ho'uld the plants be mulched with this. material, the deleterious effect of which may be quickly ,noticeable hi the stunted growth and .unhealthy appear- ance of the leaves. Half -rotted leaves, or strawy litter from which the man- ure has been shaken will answer ad- mirably as a protective mulch during the winter. This may be forked into the soil during spring, where in time its fertilizing qualities will greatly benefit the plants. (During the growing season it is jus't as necessary to cultivate the soil after the Irises have flowered as before, for at this time the 'plants prepare food ma'terial's for the folio -wing season and store -it'in their rhiioines.IWithout this 'food flowers cou'Id not be produted— conserve the moisture by cultivation. In the fall do not remove the foliage ere it matures or before natural decay occurs, or it will be -detrimental to the rhizomes. To cut away growing leaves prevents the transference of sap containing the food solutions to the store house. Avoid by all nmeane disturbing the roots when cultivating, many of the less vigorous kinds re- sent careless treatment. and show their resentment by their weak growth. +Firs:t Lady Bridge 'Payer—"I say, I wish 'to -goodness you'd hold your hand up.

Steamship travel between the Unit- ed States and Eprope will be 10 10 30 Per cent. cheaper after Aug, 16. In an effort to attract more tourists to the luxurious suites as well as the cheaper cabins of transatlantic liners, the 'north Atlantic Steamship Conferenlce agreed to a reduction in .virtually all classes. The first class` fares will be slashed lA to 30 per cent. The third class fares will be reduced 13 per cent and all supplementary :charges for cabins occupied by second class and tourist class passengers will be lowered. The cuts will be effective 'Aug. 17. The ,rate, cutting decision was 'reached by rep- resentatives 01 all lines operating be- tween ;New York and Canadian ports and the principal ports of 'North Eur- ope. The United States lines insisted that all decision relative to reduction of traffic, as had been proposed, must rest with the New York offices. The German lines were said to have 'beef' opposed to fare reductions 00 'a drastic scale. The fast 'German liners, Eur- opa and 'Bremen, were said to be pay- ing for their operation, although some of the smaller German lines were .run- ning at a toss. The English lines led the move for fare cuts and the confer- ence was called at their request, 'Che. decrease in American tourist traffic, estimated at from 30 to 50 per -cent, has affected the English lines severely. 'Tourist traffic was the most widely discussed problem before the conEer- eimce. It was estimated ithat Europe has lost about $250,000,000 this sum- mer because American 'tourists have •remained at home, and a large fraction of the cut in steamship passengers has been due to the absence of tourist parties. Stea chip lines which are, not aided by government ,monopolies have been .hand hit by the lack of tourists. Often they have put out to sea with fewer than 200 passengers, whereas they were overcrowded in more prosperous years. iAlthoug+h recent heavy .rains re- tarded h'ayin'g operations and flat- tened outfields of grain in many dis- tricts, the harvest -is progressing nicely. Yields of fall wheat were re- ported excellent,, while pastures have improved considerably due to the fall Of moisture. Root crops are coming on rapidly and corn is doing especial- ly well in 'most counties. 'Oats and 'barley promise a heavy yield. Apple scab has been difficult to control this year due to the sultry weather. The potato' crop looks + good and there is every indication of a heavy yield. A resolution has been passed by the Scdtti's'h Society for Prevention ,the Cruelty to Animals asking that all ponies, in the mines be brought under the purview of the internatioual labor office and information gathered regarding their working conditions, KNICK-KNACKS FOR KNAPSACKS.

'When 'Nature says—"come hither" —we pack a lunch and gol At this time of the year, Mother Earth, en- hanced'wi'tih her new green foliage and gay with her lovely corsages, is al- most irresistible. We -want to follow some path to see where it goes; to paddle up same stream to discover its source or most of all to explore some well 'packed lunch box to see what it contains.

A plate of 'SIwiss 'cheese will be popular with all—except, perhaps, those of 1Sco'tch descent.
