A NORTH -ATLANTIC MYSTERY. As has before been intimated, the very gravest iears an leit legarding the safety cf the Haw steel three-mao-Uxl schooner "Caniic," which ha-o not hCJié:J heard of since sli:3 lolt Twillingate, Newfoundland, on June 12th last, fcr Sydney, Cape Breton. The "Cenric"' was only built last jetar, and •Ii,.? commrnoed her voyage in March last from Cardiff, where -be signed ell her c-rew c.i Maich ~nd for a voyage to Cadiz. Frcm the latter port she proceeded across the Atlantic to Newfoundland, where she arrived ca May :5th. She Left Twillingate, Newfoundland, VI Junp 12th, and was due at Sydnry, Cape B/eion, seven days later, but nothing further has been heard of her, although it iii now over seventy days since she left port. The following is the official list of crew v.ho signe-! ,-i at Cardiff.—Captain Maurice Parry (28). Gwynfa, Borth, Portmndoc; boatswain, J. Berndtsson. (32), 13, Alice street, (Jard'fT; cook and A.B., D. Hughes (27), Borth, Pcrtmadoo A.B., B. Dyer (36), Fowey, Cornwall; and O.S., W. Unk (19), Cardiff. It is quite possible that some of the crew may have left the "Cenric" during her stay st Cadiz aaid Twillingate, but as no offic-ial intimation of such changes have been rece:ved' by the Registrar-General of Ship- pinf and Seamen it. is to be inferred that the original ..row would bs on board at the time of her loss. The '"Cenrie" was of 136 tons gross and 98 tons net register, .built in 1905 at Am- hyciJ, and ow')'?d by Messrs W. Thomas and Sons. Amlwch, Anglesey, and registered at Bcauir.r.i. A CARNARVON FACT.

Some^ three months ago he wrote home saving he had been on the sick list ffor several weeks, suffering painfully from i If6" t ^mmec'iately after receiving his letter I had a supply of your Pills which Oxwaided to him. Three weeka ago he wro.e home saying that vour Pills had done him immense good. Before he had finished one box he was able to start work again. Last night I had another letter- from him stating that to all appearances the disease had left him, Rn<1 he was in his usual health again. Having accidentally heard that a awn living in the same neighbourhood had been tt great sufferer from Piles for over twentr years, mv son sought him out, told him of I the good he had received from your Pills and gave him half of the box he had. Within four days the mon was jumping with jov from the good effects of your Pills. Haviiu; received so much benefit personally, and witnessing their good effects on the man referred1 to, my son is very anxious that other sufferers may know and receive the same benefit from them as he did himself.

CURRENT WORK. Perennials in pots, ,mch as the Chimney Campanula, or Campanula pyramidaE6 some of the Delphiniums, Petunias, Ver- benas, in short, all kinds, hardy, half-hardy. and tender, want considerable care and watchfulness during the hot weather of August. A few hours' neglect destroys the bloom, and this neg'ect much would destroy the plants themselves. These in the open ground must undergo the same joutine except thr.t watering need not be 60 frequent. They must. if slender, be tied up to stakes; decayed stems, Leaves, and branches, must be cut off. Those which are out of bloom may be propagated by parting the roots, and this may be done two ways. If the borders in which they are growing are to remain in the same style, the best mode of doing this is to cut off with the spade por- tions of the patch which the plant forms, all round it, or on one side more than another, or at the back or front, M the case may be, so as to leave the plant in the ground per- fectly undisturbed, and no larger than it is wanted. Digging out these pieces leaves holes, which must be filled up with fresh soil. The portions so cut away may be divided into moderately small pieces, and be planted in nursery beds, to grow into good-sized plants. Where it is desirable to make the largest quantity of stock, the whole plant is better dug up, and divided into as many pieces as can be made with a portion of root to them, and planted in a. shady border, six inches apart, there to grow and establish them- selves. CUTTINGS.

Cuttings of greenhouse plants of every de- scription may be now struck freely, either with a trifling bottom heat, or in the green- house; but the former is the better. They must be placed in pots of light soil, with half an inch of sand at the top; the cuttings should just reach the other soil, but not be stuck in it; cover with a bell glass that will rest within, the rim of the pot on the sand. This must be wiped dry every morning, and thç sand must fee kept moist. All kinds of "Geraniums will root in the open ground. The Geraniums that have dcaq V?)9omin- may be cut close in, and be turned out of doors in their pots. as they are, in any part of the garden; or, if you want them to grow bushy, you must cut them into some little form. The cuttings may be prepared by dividing them into small pieces the bottom I cut close up to the leaf, or joint, and two eyes left above the soil, so that a piece with three joints, one at the bottom and-two above ground, will make an excellent plant, and whichever eye begins to grow best may be left on, and the other taken away. If the top one grows best, cut the Geranium down to it. This, however, may be done when they are first potted after striking, and, in potting them. put the plant in low enough to bring the bottom leaf of the shoot cloee down to the soil. Therefore if the top eye, or shoot, is the one saved, the stem must be sunk down to it. Any time in the month will do to take cuttings off to strike. The greenhouse itself has but little to do, and that little chiefly to protect the plants which have not yet flowered against sun and wet and wind. Cleanliness is more necessary than ever in the houses; and, if the house be emptied of it6 plants alogether. a good forcible syring- ing all over the inside with ,a rose which will send the shower with force, so as to destroy vermin of all kinds from the crevices, along the rafters, the inside of the glass, &c., will be of the greatest service, and the floor, if paved, should be washed, and swept out clean, to make all alike. If the floor be only soil, scrape all the surfaoe, and sweep all out clean. Let the shelves, and such parts as can be got at, be scrubbed or brushed clean with soap a-nd water. If there are vines, this syringing cannot be "lone so well; but it may be done as much as is practicable. Something of a shade must be kept on the roof, or port of the roof. inside or out, to prevent the sun from burning up or weakening Fuchsias that are flowering in the greenhouse. The lighter the shade is the 'better, as a want of light draws up the plants and weakens them. THE CONSERVAi ORY.

The principal duty in the conservatory is to remove plants past their beauty, and bring in others that are in flower; to trim end train, the growing branches of climbimg >. plants, permanently planted out. and grow- ing up tae sides, pillars, or trellises. A good succession of Rc*ze.- in pots blooming at all the seasons, wili be found very use- ful; annuals in potq, and choice plants from the stove and orchid 11011.Soeo. The conserva- tory should be shaded from the hot sun, or j the blooms of flowering plants will soon fade. [ Weeds will grow ra^idiv :n the border^ and the petals of flowers and the leaves fall almost hourly; therefore, early in the morn- ing, all flowering plants of any consequence should be shaken a little, to bring off those blooms which would fall in the course of the day themselves; the borders and beds be raked, the paths swept, all the shelves and stands cleaned. It is as necessary for the gardener to clean all the surface of a conservatory as for the housemaid to sweep and duet the drawing-room. An occasional shower of dew-like moisture which can be thrown over everything by the patent syringes wiLNae found beneficial in any long succession of dry weather. Water must be given plentifully, and especially to plants which are making their growth, such as Camellias, Rhododendrons, and Azaleas planted out; and even more attention must be paid to such as are in large tubs and pots standing in the conservatory. All decaying flowers should be out off of everything un- less seed be wanted, for it prolongs the blooming season of many .subjects that bloom in continuance as they grow, and it makes a plant more tidy, even if the bloom is all on at one season. Plants that are re- moved from the conservatory after blooming must be submitted to the treatment recom- mended for the department to which they belong; some, such as bulbs, to have their season of dry and rest; others to be excited and make their growth; for most green- house plants red when they have set their bloom for the next year, and others when they have done flowering. Pick off all de- caying flowers, and their seed-pods with them, before the latter begin to swell: if seeds are wanted, they mvuit remain. Give all the air possible. MISSING AMLWCH SCHOONER.

Deputy-coroner for East Denbighshire, held an inquest at the County Hall, Wrexham, upon the body of Peter Poole, aged fifty-two, a collier, of 8. Cobden road, Wrexham. The evidence disclosed a very 6ad occur- rence. It seems that for some time the de- ceased had not been very well, and had been taking medicine. On Thursday evening, in a mistake, he took up a similar bottle to one containing the medicine, and drank some of the contents, which was carbolic acid. A doctor was called in, and every attempt made to revive him, but without avail.—The jury returned a verdict of "Death by mis- adventure." DON'T DELAY IF YOU FEEL "OlTT

A fact is a fact all the world over, and all the more a fact to us when we hear of it from a neighbour. It is well to be able to put a statement to the test, and this we can do when a neighbour tells us something about himself. If the narrator lives nearby and we can check the facts of a story, how- ever wonderful they may be, we are con- vinced of it6 truth, So it is with this Car- narvon story. Mr William Jones, 19, Bank Quay, Car- narvon, says:—"I am pleased to say that Doan's backache kidney pills have done me a lot of good—I have never felt better in my life. "For six months I suffered from kidney and bladder troubles, and gravel. After bending down I could scarcely get up again because of the pains in my limbs. "Nothing I tried did me good except Doan's backache kidney pills, but these have put me right. All the pains and other symptoms have left me, and I feel better in every way. (Signed) William Jones." Is your bock so weak and painful that you can scarcely bend? Do your ankles and limbs swell? Are there urinary troubles, or pains in the loins? When you rise in the mornings, do you feel drowsy, heavy, and irritable? Is there rheumatism, gravel, lum- bago, or sciatica? Kidney disease affects different people di- fferently, because kidney poisons attack the weakest part of the constitution first. and the weakest spot is seldom the same in two different people. But whatever your symptoms are, Doan's Backache Kidney Pills should be pel-se- ver^ with until not a trace of kidney dicease remains. Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are two shillings and ninepence per box (six boxes for thirte,en shillings and ninepence). Of all chemets and stores, or post free, direct from Foeter-MeClellan Co., 8, Wells street, Oxford street, London, W. You are sure to get the right medicine if you ask dis- tinctly for Doan's.
