Morey r«*R the Children. The best way to provide children with money often becomes a serious question One mother who felt deeply th. responsibility of traiomg her chil ren in Christina doctrine and babirs of life, tried the following method successfully. She determined to begin early and be tai’hful, and not make the tasks too i-ktome and distasteful to the little ones. One by one the Ter. Coatmaodim nts. Apostles' C’ree«l and some Fsalms and li’tle by mns were taught. At first.* pretty picture cards seemed ample reword. After* ards a small sum of money was given to each jhild who repeated the passogea well. They were pleased to have money of their own earning, and the mother found that she had discovered a power which was likely to help her over many hard place*. And *o it proved. When the children were old enough the mother gave each a Westmins er Catechism and promised them a silver dollar when they should have committed it to memory. In the meantime she gave them short daily lesson* from the book, and paid them five cents a week. Each child earned several dollar* bo fore the catechism was thoroughly mastered, BREAD PREPARATION Ia'Cheaper than Cream Tartar, and better. You can save nearly two dollars per barrel of dour, by its use, and have a healthy and nutritious product. m _ -+rgcglsr Xow \s\\vt Staw? cUr to\^\XV^! t\u» %idtacv» S6 Niaxxew SV. HVH\WY.

As ear'y as the middle of September cool nil.hf« come in earmst. and though dnr I ing this month we sometimes have the finest weather for the w hole year, we know “ir will f not stay" and knowing it. we should be pre- j pared for sudden chang and frosty nights. Some collect their pott* l plants t. g t; er in a 1 corner where the main houss and ell meet, or just und• r a sunny window and there up on an old table or plant-stand keep them sev I* ral weeks before taking them it. for the i- sinter. Plants thus Col.ected can h p-.< ec. ed at light by a Pght awn-ng or covering of any light matt rial, or newspapers perhaps e will a swer just as well. If newspapers are d used they should he secured by placing at each corner a small stone A few plants well cared for and kept in a thrifty condition are much more ornamental than a random collection of this, that, and finally everything tha* bears the cam. of r ‘plant.* Half a dozen bloomers, a few sweet 1 scented Geraniums ami one or wo thrifty 1 ivies are quite sufficient for ‘plant If coration* 1 in any room that answers sitting room, library and conservatory during the winter months. Give plants a good start before the cold, nipping weather sits in. They wll do enough more work during the winter, to repay for all care given them now. They shouhl not be forced to bloom but given all that will promote hardy growth. This growth w ill he thpir reserve power during tue snort, cold days of winter. A few pieces of charcoal placed here and there in pots containing plants are said to keep bugs and insects from them. When plant* are showered both side# of the leaves should be reached if possible. This can be done by slightly tipping the pots first on cue side and then the other. This can be done by u*ect* d and ought to have. 200 busheles per err finds the yield less than 100 bushels of eeond-rate tubers, some of winch are decay d and many more affected—a disheartening utcon:.* lsrg -ly due to excessive growth of fungus that first a'racked the upper leaves, nd from there rap pasted into the stems n 1 down tv the »ub*-rs This mildew is so mall that when seen in quantity it appears like frosty covering or. the surface of the de aling leaf.
