"My dear, you are very young to speak like that. I inn old, and pethaps have proved what you say by bitter ex- perience. But surely it is religion that makes all these women give up their time and their means to working for others." "Oh, no," said Nellis. "It is their kindness of heart and their social in- stincts.

Very marked results in spraying with Bordeaux mixture for blight have been obtained by the Vermont Station, the Irish Department of Agriculture, and tbe Dominion and Provincial Experi- mental farms. In 1901 experiments by Mr. Macouu with eight varieties show- ed an average difference in favor of spraying of 100 bushels of marketable potatoes, and in 1902 with eleven varie- ties. the avetage difference Was 120 busbels per acre. With the Empire State variety there was a difference of 105 busbels per acre. In 1902 the vases were sprayed four times, on July 10th, July 22nd, July 30th and August 130, Ufa formula used being lbs. bluestone, 4 lbs. lime, 40 gallons water.

On August 4, 1704 (new style), the Rock of Gibraltar -was captured by Great Britain and it has remainell in aer possession from that day to this. Among the many possessions scattered all over the globe that are comprised in the British Empire to -day _there ie none that the nation holds with greater tenacity, for reasons both of sentiment and of material interest, and none that it would lose with more poignant shame and sorrow than the redoubtable strong- hold WO took from Spain at the begin- ning of the reign of Queen Anne. The fact that throughout the eight- eenth century when so many conquests in both hemispheres changed hands back- ward and forward in. successive wars, and under successive treaties Gibraltar remained permanently in the 'keeping of England might seem to prove that Bri- tish sentiment with regard to is was from the first the same as it is to -day. But this is far from having been the case. For, although at the end of 200 years of our possessions of the fortress at a time when the imperial instinct of Englishmen has become more con- sciously developed and more deeply in- grained than ever before, and at the same time more intelligently apprecia- tive of the true meaning of sea powets and alive to the strategical requirements of its maintenance the retention of the key of the Mediterranean has become an essential article of our political creeca it WaS a considerable time before the immense value of the acquisition was fully realized by British, statesmen. It seems strange encnigh to us to re- member that Rang George I. and his 111iftaitaakaittearareaaayasto give up. Gibral- tar merely to secure Spain's acquies- cence in the arangement by which the quadruple alliance was anxious to make some pettifogging modifications ill the shuffle of territories effected by the treaty of Utrecht, but it is stillmore extraordinary that so elear-sigated, pat- riotic and high-spirited an empire build- er as Lord Chatham himself should have made a similar offer. as an inducement to Spain to help up to recover Minorca— and this moreover, at a time when the fortress had. been in our hands fo. more than half a century andits vital im- portance to our growing maritime sup - ma'am/ had already been abundantly proved in the naval wars of the period. Happily the Spaniards were as blind as ourselves to the supreme importance of the position commanding the road from tiTe .eitlantic to the Mediterranean. The truth is, as readers of Mahan do not need to be reminded, that the importance of sea power and the nature of the foundations on which it is based, were very imperfectly grasped even by England, in the seventeenth and the first half of the eighteenht century, and eotreely At all by any other Etna open power. Occasionally at fad -vats some statesman like Colbert in France or Alberoni in Spain, had more than au inkling of the truth, but no nation ex- cept England ,made deliberate and sus - tallied efforts with a view to maritime development. Even England did so rath- er by instinct than insight. Of this blindness to the true Orineiples of maritime poliey the taking of Gibral- tar and its history during the following three-quarters of it century afford it Striking illustration. Joist as the VaSt importance of its acquisition was at the time tiliderrate.d both by England and apain so its actual capture by the former Wits an afterthought and (itmay almost be said) an Accident. It became a British possession in the first in- stance because at a time when we hap- pened to be at war with one of the rival claimants to the Spanieh throne our admiral in the Mediterranean nappettal to have no particular objeetiVe ill view, and having failed 113 his only enterprise of that year, Was unwilling to tel1rit hem with it fine fleet that had done nothing for the honor of the flag.
