Mardy perennial plants give great satisfaction when used for borders along the fromt of shrulmk»ries, driveâ€" ways and walks, or planted in massos on lawns, boecause they do not require replanting each season. Once planted they give but liitle trouble, When the foliage dies down or is killed by frost their ussfuiness is not ended for they will appear each spring with greater strengh and beauty. The least expenâ€" sgive and easiest manner for the amaâ€" teur gardener or averace citizen to seâ€" cure a stock of perennial plants is by sowing the sed of any particular speâ€" cies or variety desired, and now that the bulk of the work of arranging beds and setting out annuals is complete the proceéess of seeding perennials for future use can be carried out at leisure. For satisfactory results a few simple points should be remembered. Buy your seed from a reliable seedsman and choose the best varieties that can be obâ€" tained. Perennials are planted for perâ€" manence and a few pennies saved now will not repay you for the time and trouble expended in raising a plant will not give you full satisfaction. It is not advisable to seed in the open border at this time as hot, dry spell is liable to cake the surface and the tiny roots of seedlings, having no depth, are not abl!ls to extract sufficient moisture from the soil to survive, also, unless the seedâ€" lings are unusually vigorous, they will be overcome by weeds. The most conâ€" venient box to use for the sowing of seed is a flat, such as a finnan haddie box. This may be procuring from almost any grocery store. Give good drainâ€" age by placing broken crockery, stoncs, or coarse sand at the bottom of the box. Very heavy soil should not be usâ€" ed. Light sandy soil is best for the ayâ€" erage seed,. Well pulverized leafâ€"mould with a quantity of sharp sand mixe>d in as advised. The soil may be baked to destroy weed seeds, sifted, and the box filled to within a half an inch of the top. The depth of planting is important and depends almost entirely on the size Of the seed. Very small seed should be lightly sprinkled over the surface of the soil and gently firmed with a small, flat piece of board. Larger seed may be covered lightly and firmed to bring the seed into intimate contact with the soil and moisture. Avoid pressing too hard as the soil should not be packed or allowed to cake. A fine spray is best for watering as this does not tend to pack the soil. The seed box should nevâ€" er be allowed to dry ‘or germinâ€" ation will cease and small seedlings will perish,. The watering should be done in the morning if possible; never at night, as the chill cccasioned by waterâ€" ing is increased and prolonged by the (Contributed by the Timmins Hortk tural Society). ut Hardy Perennials Have Many Points Worth Note Use in Shrubberies, Driveways, Borders and Planted in Masses on Lawns.

There are a great many perennials which can be grown readily from seed, to provide continuous bloom from early spring until such as Iceland Poppies, Oriental Popâ€" pies, Columbine, Campanula, Lupins and Delphinium. These have all been tested and proved hardy enough to stand our northern winters. Shasta Daisy should have been included in the above. cool, night air. It is well to remem‘jzer that most perâ€" emnmials do best in full sunlight. A southern aspect protected from strong winds is the most satisfactory position for the garden.. When a shady position is encountered the following perennials may be used successefully: Monkshood, Forâ€"getâ€"meâ€"nots, Astill», Foxglove, Aquilegia, Gaillardia, Diaanthus and The most natural method of handling springâ€"flowering bulbs now that they have finished blooming is to leave the foliage to die down where they have bloomed in the border, but this is a slow process and does not add to the appearance of the border. If it is desirâ€" able to remove the bulbs, bury them in a shallow trench where they are not likely to be disturbed, lift them when the tops have died off and store in papâ€" er bags until the planting season in the fall.

And since these haunts of the deer and grouse, as it presently transpired were located on one the rockâ€"bound isles of Lady N ancy Astor Once Again Breaks Into T he Picture Every once in a while and usually on the front page, Nancy Astor breaks into the news. Shorn of her originâ€" ality, pugnacity and courage the transâ€" actions within the Mother of Parliaâ€" ments would often be dull and lifeless, for her long political career has besn urbulent rather than triumphant, and the Hebric@s, it is doubtful if the creaâ€" tures of the world will give place to cows and chickens. Some of Her Trials in th House of Commons. E. F,. Stephenson, the honoured dean of Northern newspapermen, reâ€" cently celebrated his 95th birthday anniversary, HMHe still conducts a column in The New Liskeard Speakâ€" er, but gives most of his time to his other hobbyâ€"the garden,. For years under his editorship, and later under that of his son, A. E. Stephenson, also shown in the picture. The New Liskeard Speaker was a powerful force in the advancement and welfare of the North. some months ago the Stephensons retired from newspaperâ€" work, selling to a company that is continuing to uphold the fine tradiâ€" ditions of The Speaker. whatever success she has achieved, it would seem, has been conceded a bit grudgingly. Was Coldly Received First woman to take a seat in the British Commons, Lady Astor presentâ€" ed a problemâ€"as she remains a puzzle â€"to many in the stately House of timeâ€" honoured _ tradition, Conservatives feared she would be a menace to ideals rooted in class distinction. Liberals dismissed her as a rank Socialist. Soâ€" clalists, bless their doubtful hearts, greeted her coldly as an aristocratic upâ€" start! So than Nancy‘s introduction to Parliament was a chilly affair, There was no applauseâ€"hardly a friendly smile, Not for one moment was the shining silk topper removed from the head of the immaculate Neville Chamâ€" berlain, and every member remained seated. There was a private room provided for the first woman member, and, a few minutes after her installation, Nancy Astor, M.P., political pioneer, the perky campaigner and secrapper, retired io that room, and, in her own words, had a "good,oldâ€"fashioned cry." If the honorable members had been at the trouble to find out a little more about the American woman who batâ€" tled with her own wit, courage and practical methods to win a seat in a liant career as concert pianist, That incident throws light on the intensely practical type of democracy which Lady Astor practises. On a train she found a wornâ€"out mother trying to snatch a few minutes of slumber which the squalling and petulance of haif a dozen children made impossible. They were weary youngsters, hot and dirty. Nancy herded them to the rear of the car washed their hands and faces, tiâ€" died wayward locks and told them storâ€" les while the mother slept, Women Loyal to Her Women and children indeed, have been her particular care. She had little time for speeches during the hectic election campaign that carried her to her first viectory. Everywhere she went were women who needed medical care, and kiddies who at least needed washâ€" ing,. But these women, who knew little and cared less about politics did underâ€" stand the vaiue of a friendly greeting and a helpful hand. They put Nancy Astor into Parliament. They have kept her there since. Her attitude in the House has occaâ€" sionally been condemned as arrogant and impertinent. Perhaps it was just the more or less natural reaction to an unreasoning antagonism. Upon her head, once, was directed the scorn and ire of the Speaker. Up jumped a very friendly member in her defense. And beneath the warmth of this unexpectâ€" ed friendliness Nancy melted "The Speaker and the members have always been patient with me,‘ she said, "it is my own hasty tongue that often makes me a nuilisance, When I find myself getting the worst of an arguâ€" ment I fall back on the only anmuniâ€" tion I have leftâ€"my wretchedly bad manner." And that frank confession we submit, proclaims courage of a rare vintage, Made Edward VII Laugh Nor has her rise to the heights in the social world been made without that battling which is the breath of life for Nancy Astor. Her first parties and receptions were spurned by the elite. But His Majesty Edward VII not only accepted an invitation to one of them, later, but devoted himself so much to the young American hostess that enâ€" vious ladies present tried to drag Nancy away from her royal guest to play bridge. "I don‘t play bridge,," she hedged sweetly, And with a sly glance at the king, added, "I know s5 little about cards, indied a cannot tell a king from a knave." While the ladies retreated Edward was shaking with laughter, All the great of the earth attend Nancy Astor‘s parties nowâ€"and many of the lowly.

A plank on the timber set upon which he was standing was caught by a deâ€" scending buckest and tipped. Opalka lost balance and plunged down. the shaft to his death. The accident hapâ€" pened on Friday morning. Coroner H. E. Montgomery was asâ€" sisted by Crownâ€"Attorney Caldbick, who interrogated witnesses. Members of the Jury were Georze Gibson, J. R.

Below the timber platform upon which the men were working was a fall of 43 feet to the bottom of the shaft. Opalka, said Mr. Harrison, was a minâ€" er with twelve years‘ experience. He had been at the Moneta for two and a half years. He was a married man and was 35 years of age. Witnesses to the accident were shaftâ€" men were Henry Paakala, and Angus McDonald.

He said that he had warned Opalka three times to be careful lest the bucket tip the platâ€" form upon which he was standing. Internal injuries were the cause of death believed Dr. R. E. Anderson. He believed the specific cause was a rupâ€" tured liver. When he arrived at the mine at about 10 a.m. the man was still alive said Dr. Anderson. He had him rushâ€" ed to St. Mary‘s Hospital. During the day he rapidly became worse and complained of severe pain over the reâ€" gion of the liver. He died at about sevâ€" en o‘clock that evening.
