BUY FROM CANADIAN DEALERS.
Plan Garden Now and Order Shrubs
and Seeds From Home. Stocks.
The Canadian nurseryman carries
in stock every known kind that can
be relied on to give success in the
Canadian garden or orchard. The
Canadian stock has the distinct ad-
vantage of being horse grown --raised
in the northern climate. Stock from
farther south may or may not give
satisfaction. Stock that is home
grown will give entire satisfaction if
properly planted and cared for.
The nurserymen are ofiferirig many
new kinds of lilac, in new shades of
bloom. Some of these are guaranteed
not to throw up shoots from the roots.
It"is because of the tendency of the
ordinary lilac bush to do this, that the
most magnificent of all early blooming
trees has been banned from many
lawns. The newest lilac is the Japan-
ese production, with fern -like foliage
and bloom of exquisite tint, and pro-
mises to become popular. Trees and
shrubs, if properly placed in the lawn,
enhance the beauty of the home sur-
roundings; they are not expensive,
and besides adding to the exterior
beauty, will supply a wealth of bloom
suited for interior decoration.
Roses are not expensive nor difficult
to succeed with, providing they are
properly planted in a well-prepared
bed. The nurserynian will advise you
as to the best kinds to select. You
need not fear that he will take ad-
vantage of your ignorance and pawn
off inferior varieties. The Canadian
nurseryman is here to stay; the future
of his business depends on satisfied
customers, and it is as much to his in-
terest as to your own that the roses he
sells you should give complete satis-
faction.
Don't delay the placing of your or-
der, be it large or small. Every tree,
shrub, bush or vine planted about the
premises will add to the beauty and
value of your property. Place your
orders with a Canadian firm that your
money may remain in your own coun-
try. The thousands upon thousands of
dollars that go over the border each
year for seeds, plants, trees, etc., go to
build up American industries, to give
e,'nployment t� Anierican citizens, and
ttrl help support their families. Money
paid' to. Canadian firms helps build the
Ca,tadian industries that employ Can-
adians, that are the fathers of Can-
adian boys and girls. "Keep the home

TORTURE OF PRISONERS.
Terrible Cruelty Inflicted on Captives
by Germans.
Hideous in the extreme, and only
equal in awfulness to the frightful
horrors of the Inquisition of the dark
ages, is the story told in a semi-of-
ficial communique of the tortures in-
flicted upon French and English pris-
oners in German prison camps, says a
Paris correspondent.
Examples are given, as follows:
In reprisal camps of occupied dis-
tricts of Russia this treatment has
been applied with terrible refine-
ments of .ruelty. Thus, a mattress
was at times placed between the
stake and the head of the sufferer
to render his position more exhaust-
ing. Sometimes the victim was tied
bareheaded at midday with his face
toward the sun, and with the points
of barbed wire arranged so that they
penetrated his chin,
At Landshut seventeen Frenchmen
were enclosed in a cage four metres
long by three metres wide, exposed to
all weathers. .As a result, several of
them went mad.
Punishment of the pit. The" vic-
tim was forced into a hole in the
earth, of an average length of one
metre and ei hty centimetres deep.

In Courland the lashing was ad-

the wives of officers and other per-
sons were invited to witness the
bastinado.

Girl's Father (sharply)—What are

Nervy Suitor—I don't see why you
continue to misunderstand my mean-

ter, that's all there is to it. Do you

japan, like other lands, boasts of
haunted houses. They are tearing
down a house in Tokio because no.
tenant can stay ill it longer than a.
°week, so full of parading ghosts is it
after the midnight hour. This is the
story told the East eine West News by
the neighbors to the latest tenant, a
lean named Kashio:
Some years ago a ramily lived there
who had a daughter just married.
From some cause or other, the father
forced her to divorce in spite of the
love between the couple She was
overcome with grief and asked her
father to 'send her back to her hus-
band, but he refused. He even for-
bade her leaving the house. She had
nothing else to do but to saunter
around the rooms of her home.
At last in sorrow and mortification
she resorted to the final thing. Wear-
ing her white wedding robe in memory
of her, happiest day in the six mat
room, she plunged a dagger into her
throat, which ended her life. c -
Now the house is being torn down
and a new one is to be built in order
to abolish the haunts of the spirits.

SOME IRISHISMS,
Unconscious Humor Is a Characteristic
of the Irish Race.

shrunk to nothing. You're thin, and
I'm thin; but, sure, he's thinner than
both of us put together!"
The Irishman w:10 said to his chil•.
dren: "Ye pays no more attention to
me than if I was a dumb baste talk-
ing to yez!" was as unconscious of
saying anything funny as the Irish
baronet who boasted that it war
"hereditary in his family to have no i
children"; and the domestic who eom- p
plained: "En.joy slape, is it? Hoe,
could I, now? The minit I lay dowr
I'm aslape, and the minit i'in aslape 1
have to get up. Where's the time fat
enjoying it?"
Be we are not so sure of the man
who, when asked by his • employer;
"Well, Patrick, which is the bigger
fool—you or I?" answered: "Faith, 1
couldn't say, sorr; but it's not maself";
or of the groom who, to the question:
"You say your present master treats
you better than Mr. Smith did?" re-
plied: "'Yes, sorr---and oftener."
It was Sir Bryan I'Loghlan who was
responsible for the startling statement
that "a verbal agreement ie not worth
the paper it is written ons"; and the
'immortal Sir Boyle Roche who, in a de-
bate on a proposed tax on leather, de-
clared "the bine-footed peasantry of
Ireland" could avoid the tax by "hav-
ing their under -leathers made ` of
wood"; and who, when discussing the
relations between England and Ire-
lanld, said: "He is an enemy to both
kingdoms who wishes to diminish the
brotherly affection of the tw r sister
kingdoms."
That the sante unconscious humor
can survive even death is proved by
the following, among other epitaphs:
"Here lies the body of Lady O'Looney,
Great-niece pf;Surke, Commonly call-
ed the Snbliri r. She was bland, pas-
sionate'
and keply religious; Also she
painted in ,yeater-Colors, and on sev-
eral picturee to the exhibition, She
was first cousit'i of Lady Jones."
"Often, brethren," said an Irish
clergyman, addressing the mourners
at a feneagl,; ;`have I dandled the
corpse enemy knee"; while another
reverend or.Ji;tor, pointing to the coffin,
said solemrtiy "Here, brethren, we
have before ue a living witness and a
,standing monument of the frailty of
human hopee * . ,
