Clergy- men who have used Zam-Buk have found it so excellent, that they have not hesitated to give A.D.McLeod of Harcourt, N.B., who,inaletter written recently, refers to the remarkable popu: larity which Zam-Buk enjoys fl in the homes of the people of his parish. "Really," he writes, "1 fl know of nothing that can com- Bl pare with Zam-Buk!

J New York, May 7.--Formation of THE SOLDIERS' WORST ENEMY. The Mud of France Described by a Soldier, The mud is there ever and always, implacable and relentless--the mud that keeps you from walking, chills you, clutches you, weighs you down, and drives you to despair. Five days of dragging one's self along up to the waist in the horrible, cold, gluey paste. It began as soon as we left Cabane-Puits. But at first it was bearable. We slipped or'got stuck or splashed or crplattered, but that was 4 mere nothing. The terrible part came when we went into the com- munication trenches. It was fortun- ate that our knapsacks were at Hill 181 and not on our backs. The chalk of Champagne, when combined with water, rapidly forms a soft paste in which one plunges up to the waist. And it was necessary. to march in this; 'in othér words, to put one foot before the other, to pull it out with enormous effort, only to replunge it inthe mire, and so on for five kil- ometres. At the start, the effort was a conscious one, but at the end of the first hour the motions became auto- matic; all one's sensations resolved themselves into.one dull pain in the whole body. Several times I got my leg stuck, and had to appeal to-the man behind me to help get it nt} One of the lieutenants left his shoe in the mud; he was literally eaught like a lark on a lime-twig,' and when, by dint of desperate efforts, he brought forth his shoeless. foot, a great laugh went round. But a lit- tle farther on we were sobered by a terrible discovery. «We found the body of a soldier ,who had perished in the mud; he had evidently fallen while alone, and was not able to ex- tricate himself from the horrible embrace of the mire. This was the first corpse I had seen and I was much affected.--January Atlantic. St. Winifred's Well, The despatches telling that St. Winifred"s well, in Holywell, Flint- shire, Wales, has gone dry observe that it had been flowing 'from time immemorial," but legend is more specific as to the date of its origin. Winifred, or Winefride as she is known. in "the Roman Catholic Church, or Guenevra as she was call- ed until the conquest of 'Wales, was born about 600 A. D. Her uncle, St. Beuno, buiit a monastery in Flint- shire, where the girl lived with her father, Thevit, a Cambrian magnate. Caradoc, son of a neighboring prince, tried to carry off Winifred. She fied toward her uncle's church, but the wicked youth overtook her op the slope above the site of the present well and with his sword cut off her head. The head rolled down the incline and where it rested there gushed the spring. St. Beuno left the altar, returned the head tothe body and covered: them 'with his cloak. After mass he removed the cloak and Winifred was as well as ever, except for a thin white circle around her neck. Presently Cara- doe fell dead where he stood insol- ently leaning upon his sword, and it was the popular belief in Wales that the earth opened and Swallowed him. There was a stone in the well pool, and St. Bueno, standing .en this, made the promise that "whosoever on that spot should thrice ask for a benefit from God in the name of St. Winifred would obtiin the grace he asked if it was for the good of his soul." All this we have from the British monk Elerius, whose manu- script is in the British Museum, and from another script supposed to have been written by Rebert, prior of Shrewsbury. The well has been re- garded by pious persons as another Lourdes. OE icmipsp-------- Japan's Harvest Ceremony. The Niiname Sai or second harvest festival of the Japanese year 'was held with Shinto ceremonies at the Imperial Palace, Tokio, on November 23. Two ceremonies of exactly the same program were observed, one at 5.40 o'clock in the afternoon and one at midnight. The Emperor attended both. The ceremonies, says the apan Advertiser, were held at the shrine called Shinden, which wag de- corated for the occasion by the court ritualists. The ritualists and masters of cere- monies, cabinet ministers, generals, and admirals and many other Gov- ernment officers, civil and military, were present at the shrine by 5.40 o'clock. Prince Mujo, chief ritualist, playing music, his Majesty made of- ferings at the altar and read an ad- dress. With the spisits of the Im- perial ancestors at shrine he ate the new rice of year. Then he withdrew the offerings. His Majesty soon retired to his palace. NOW ABOUT POTATOES 1 Grow Some and Keep Down the High Prices. Ye TOMATOES ALSO A GOOD LIN 7 But All Danger of Frosts Should Be Passed Before Tender Crops Are Put in the Ground, 8. C.. JOHNSTON, Vegetable Specialist, Ontgrio Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) Some of our vegetables are very tender and should mot be planted until after all danger of frost is over. It must be remembered that because the soil is ready to receive tfc plants it is not absolutely - necessary that the grower should set the plants out. Potatoes planted out. between 24th May and even the first of June will give excellent results. Tomatos may be set out after the 6th of June and good returns expected, as some sea- Sons a severe frost destroys many tomato plants as late as June 6th. Vine crops such as cucumber 'and squash may be planted after all dan- ger of frost is over. POTATOES. Potatoes are one crop which may be planted on land which is considered to be in a very rough condition. Possibly there is no better crop to be planted on land which has been ia sod for a number of years. Medium-sized tubers of good quality should be secured and they should be cut go that there ar at least two eyes in each piece or se It is a good plan in a small gard¢n to have the soil prepared fairly well, then cut the seed . and = commence planting. Furrows may bé made with the boe about six inches deep and two feet apart. The sets may be placed twelve inches apart in the bottom of the furrow and should be covered with two inches of soil. This will leave the young plant more or less in a trench. As the plants grow the soil will be gradually drag- ed up and the tremch will be filled. It will be necessary to cultivate thie soil between the rows so as to keep down weeds, and at the same time soil should be gradually drawn up to the tops in sufficient quantities so that the growing roots will not be exposed to the sunlight, which will cause them to turn green and be of inferior quality. If an early variety has been planted and a vigorous growth bag resulted it is possible that some may- be fit to dig in August. -By removing some of the soil from around a hill with the hand one can tell whether they are fit to dig. If the potatoes are grown for winter use they do not need to be dug until quite late Ia the fall. The tops will die down at the first frost, but it is not absolutely necessary that they he dug immediately. They should, how- ever, be dug before there is any severe frost. 4 TOMATOES. The tomato is one of the most popular vegetables either fresh or in a preserved con- dition. It may be grown gdfite Easily in the backyard. The r practice with tomatoes is to... purebase the plants ready for transplanting rather (By than-attempting to grow these plants} if one has not had experience in handling a hot-bed. Plants having a 4arge root system are best, and the stock in any case should at least be the size of a lead pencil. The soil should be thoroughly prepared be- fore planting time, possibly a crop of lettuce or radish may be taken from the same, but it is always advisable to have plenty of manure incerpor- ated in the soil. A shallow hole may be made with the common hoe to in- sert the roots of the tomato plant. These ts should be theroughly wi ' 80 that -the soil will cling close to the roots when they are set out in the garden. The plant should be set fairly deep and the earth should be firmed around the roots. If the season is dry and hot, water may be poured around the plant In order to facilitate growth. These plants may be set two feet apart if they are to be trained on stakes and kept from covering a large space in the garden. These stakes should be preferably six feet long, two inches) wide, and one inch thick. They may be driven into the soil a few days after the plant has been set out and the plants tied up to the stick with & piece of twine or cotton in such a manner that the tie will be directly under the leal. As the plant de- velopes in size in frout of each deaf & slender growth called a side shoot will appear. These must be removed by pressing them out with the thumb when very small. Four or five ties will be necessary to support the plant. As a result of the staking fruits of.a superior quality will ripen earlier than those grown on the ground.
