Bow ta Trlai Them Their DecoratlT I'M oa the Faaaloaabl Pergola, In a paper read before the American Rose society at Its last meeting In Philadelphia L. A. Murtin presented the following Interesting Items about . the climbing varieties of hardy roses, of which we have plenty of distinct types to suit every one, which are more and more used every year and can be employed for ornamentutlons on many parts of the garden where other kinds of plants would not be so effective or conspicuous: This class of rose must be trimmed sparingly, cutting only the laterals bock to one bud and preserving only the strong shoots to the height desired. They are unsurpassed for covering old buildings, unsightly walls, old trees, some lonely rocks, trellises, arbors, screens and the much talked about pergolas. Think of the effect that could be obtained with the well known Crimson Rambler for covering the last named If the branches or steins were arranged and tied in festoons on the sides. Many other purposes can be found In using this favorite climber to advantage. Other varieties of this pop ular rose and equally beautiful are: Aglala, pftle yellow; Claire Jaquire, nankeen; Electro, yellow; Euphrosyne, pink with white center; Psyche, nwy pink and crimson; Thalia, white, semi double, without forgetting Philadel phia Rambler, pegged down and grow ing as a trailer. In standard or busli form they are equally desirable and In this way will add much diversity and color to its environments. A magnificent climbing rose not of ten seen as yet is Carmine Pillar, with Its bright rosy carmine and large sin gle flowers. It does not grow as tall as ' other varieties, but will grow perfectly well against the north side of a build ing or wall, a very free grower and bloomer. . Other varieties found perfectly hardy nnd of different species are: Queen of the Prairies, deep rose and vigorous grower; Cottage, dark crimson, very rapiuV grower; Climbing Clotllde Sou pert, pure Ivory white. Many others of either bushes or climbing varieties of hardy roses could be added to the foregoing and useful in some way or other for the embel lishment of the hardy garden, as there will always be found some part of It where something is wanting and where a bush, trailing, pillar or climbing rose would be just the thing. A Pine Plant Fr Cat Flower Dur ing: the Sunnier and Fall, The gladiolus la by all odds the best plant we have for furnishing cut flow ers from the open ground during the summer and fall months. It coin niences to bloom about the 1st of July and, continues until November. It Is Just beginalng to be grown extensively for cut flowers for market, and It has undoubtedly a , great future. The spikes are cut when the first flower opens, packed in light boxes without bunching, as one would pack rhubarb, and expressed to all points. We have sent them to Montana In good condl tlon. No llower blooms in water better than the gladiolus. Indeed it does bet ter in water than on the plant In the south it Is apt to wilt lu the hottest part of the day if left on the plant, but if put In water it reaches great perfec tion, says Mr. Crawford in American Gardening, A thousand first size bulbs will pro duce over 2,000 spikes; of second size, say 1,600; of third size, 1,000, 4,500 In all, and as many bulbs which should under first class conditions be of flrt't size. By planting the three sizes at the same time one gets a succession of bloom, the large bulbs blooming first and the small ones lust. No particular skill Is required. The laud Is prepared as for potatoes and furrowed out. and the bulbs can be put Into the ground as soon as it can be worked or later for lute flowering, We plant in rows three feet apart and twice the diameter of the bulbs apart in the row, covering from four to six inches in depth. We never take pains to place right side up any sizes be low No. 2. Cutting the spikes as soon as the first flower opens prevents the bulb from being exhausted by produc ing seed. It also prevents damage from blowing over and does away with the necessity of support. During the summer months, espe cially in a dry time, there Is usually a scarcity of flowers for decorative purposes. People want them for churches, for Sunday schools and for special occasions, and nothing can equal the gladiolus for such purposes THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS THEY PLAY AN IMPORTANT PART IN A TOWN'S PROGRESS. AN ORIENTAL FRUIT. The Delicious and Popular Lichee of India and China. Our horticulturists are scouring the world over for all things good and seeking to naturalize them. All sorts of foreign nnd tropical fruits are be coming better known in our large city markets. In view of this fad for for eign dainties the reader may find the lichee interesting, as here portrayed. The lichee Is one of the most popular of Indian fruits, and travelers report It as one of the most delicious ever 4? The Dandelion In Linni. The common dandelion Is a weed which gives much trouble in lawns, since it spreads rapidly, is not injur ed to any extent by mowing and un less carefully dug ont is very apt to ruin the turf. It is a common prac tice to give perfect freedom to the women and children who every spring invade the roadsides and parks or pri vate grounds in search of dandelion "greens." Tests carried on by W. M. Munson at the Maine experiment sta tion sliowed that, contrary to the usu al belief, however, this is very bad for the lawns, for in addition to the injury caused by the knives and trow els used in digging the roots It is very probable that every top or crown cut off will In a short time send up in its place from one to six new crowns. Trofessor Munson advises as a pre ventive measure thick seeding when the lawn Is made, for If the young grass plants do not cover nil the space weeds will be sure to grow. Henewol of a badly Infested lawn by sodding or seeding is advised. If only a few dandelions are present they may be removed by careful and deep digging, little grass seed being sprinkled over the space left by the removal of the weed. Ran Joe Scale. The San Jose scale has become wlde- lv distributed, and Its appearance is undoubtedly familiar to many, but oth ers may nnu tne accompanying cui useful in identifying It. This shows THE LICHEE. tasted. The lichee U of the size and form of a large plum, with a rough, thin, scale-like rind, which while the fruit is hanging ripe upon the tree Is of a beautiful red tinge, but gradually becomes of a dull brown color a short time after being gathered. The pulp resembles the white of a plover's egg and contains in Its center a stone. In the best varieties the stone is very small comparatively, and In this re spect the fruit produced on different trees varies much. The Chinese suffer the fruit to dry till it becomes black and shriveled, in which condition it ap pears to be very palatable to the entire population. . There is much agricultural prosper ity through the hop growing regions of the Pacific coast, a crop of 2,000 pounds of hops to the acre, worth 25 cents a pound, being one of the causes. A gross return of $500 per acre for a field crop is a very big thing.

Superintendent Brook of Philadel phia on ihe Vain of Good Schools. Comfort and Health of Pupil Axe , of Vital Importance. A town or village may have good Streets, good water and a good record for health, but if it lacks good schools the defect is one to tell against its prosperity. Feople may be incon venienced for lack of churches, but It is demanded on behalf of their chil dren that they be provided with facili ties for securing an education, and this demand is becoming more positive all the time. As a matter of fact, good schools alone have pulled many a town np and given It a reputation, while, on the contrary, the lack of them has kept many a town, enterpriIig In other di rections, from being heard of outside its own county. In discussing this matter recently Dr. Edward Brooks, superintendent of schools of Philadel phia, said: "The crowning feature of modern civilization is the public school. The church, the state and the library have existed for ages. The public school Is the prt)duct of the nineteenth century. For the education, of the people the state provides not only for the instruc tion, but a suitable place for such in struction, by erecting the buildings in which the schools are gathered. "A century ago a public school was a curiosity; today they dot the rural Jandscape nnd adoril the streets of our cities. Fifty years ago it was the courthouse and the church that attract ed the attention of the visitor to a strange city; today the public high school building vies with the church and courthouse in the city's architec tural attractions. "The most of our children are edu cated in the elementary schools, and these buildings, therefore, should be especially adapted to their purpose, They should bo well lighted, heated and ventilated and equipped with the most modern improvements In steel ceilings, hardwood floors, wide corri dors. Inclosed tower fire escapes of brick and slate and every facility for assuring the safety, health and com fort of scholars and teachers. "The school building Is the home of the pupils for five or six hours of the day. To many children In towns and cities it is the only place that may real ly be called a home, and it is recog nized that this school home should be bright, cheerful, healthful, safe nnd in every way adapted to mat purpose. "In Belgium the location, construc tion, drainage, closets, etc., of school- houses must be examined and ap proved by the bureau of hygiene be fore they cnu be occupied for school purposes. In Vienna and some of the other towns and cities of Europe physician's certificate is necessary in determining the location of a school building. Experts say that the class room should afford about 200 cubic feet of air space to each pupil, and this Is what the board of education endeav ors to attain in our modern school buildings as well as to assure by prop er ventilation a constant flow of pure nir. "A sunny, cheerful schoolroom af fects the spirits of the pupils and tends to promote cheerfulness of feel ing, attention to studies and amenabil ity to discipline, and the reverse, which can be found in so many of our old school buildings, violates nearly every law of hygiene. "The schoolroom should be made beautiful as well as healthful. The furniture should be neat, the walls of a color agreeable to the eye und all the surroundings in accordance with the demands of the time. It should be a place of taste and beauty and thus ex ercise a refining influence upon its pu pils. A taste for beauty and a love of the right should go hand In hand, for It is the mission of the beautiful to aid in cultivating a love of right conduct. There Is thus a strong pedagogical rea son for beautifying our schools and keening them so, which some people unfortunately regard as merely one of the fads of the times. Let the child drink in. day by day, the beauty which surrounds him in the schoolroom and he will instinctively turn from that which is ugly, coarse and unrefined, Learning to love the beautiful in school, he will carry thiB taste into bis home and endeavor to surround him self there with the same conditions that he has found in school." Barn ts. Hitchinf Post. One of the most successful reforms In the treatment of dumb animals that has been brought about by women is the town hitching barn, by the use of which horses no more stand out in (lie cold of and the warm, fly pestered season o( midsummer. Women's clubs and the wives and daughters of farmers started this reform, and it has grown to such an extent that the big barns are .seen in almost all of the larger and progressive country towns. One of these barns has just been com pleted at Momence, on the Chicago A Eastern Illinois railroad. In size it is 132 feet lone and 62 feet wide. It has an earth floor and the roof is of sheet iron. Nearly 40 teams may be hitched within this big inclosure. The horses stand hitched to the vehicle and the arrange ment is such that the rig may be backed out of its place at any time. In place of hitching to a tence or posts on the town square, the outfit is driven inside and hitched to a railing on which is a long continuous trough. For the privilege of hitching the farmer is charged 10 cents for any length of time during the day. The farmer may fill the trough with, his own feed for his teamfree of charge, but if feed is supplied by barn owner, 10 cents a head is charged for it. Less than a decade ago teams stood in the biting cold weather for hours at a time. The animals befouled the street, and the rigs would be pilfered of their robes and whips. The women of the towns began complaining of this sort of thine as a crime against humanity, and deprecated the unsightly condition of the streets. I he tanner s wives ana aaugn ters objected to being compelled to hitch up in some unsafe location. In summer time the horses were left out in the sweltering sun and the streets became a pestering nuisance. Nowadays, wnen farm help is scarce, the women are com pelled to do nearly all of the driving and errands to town, and they set up a cry for a place to hitch. One of the first Illinois towns to adopt the hitching barn was Dixon, at which place there is a strong and active women's club, some ot the members being the wives of farmers. Today few teams are found hitched outside. There were a few farmers who prefered to hitch their faithful teams in the cold or heat Phone 5 1 Phone 5 1 umber Lath hingles Wood, etc Our Prices Are -the Lowest to giving up a dime, but they soon grew ashamed of the old practice, the barns sprang up all over Illinois, and in many ashamed of the old practice. The barns towns in Indiana. At Ottawa, III., all the hitching posts were torn down one night and carted off. This work was charged up to certain members of the city council, and even after they were known as "The Destroying Angels." When a woman has occation to drive to a town where the hitching barn has been established, she makes her way to the barn and alights at the door, turn ing the team over to the barn attendant. In many country towns young daughters of farmers attend school during the winter, and the methods of the town bam relieve them of much care. The women of Illinois are not more proud of the result of any movement carried out and encoraged by them than they are of the town hitcning barn. Chicago Tribune. Stand Together. In an article on the relations of capital and labor, the Seattle P. I. says: There can be neither abundance of employment nor good wages unless the employers of laoor are doing a good anu profitable business. Prosperity and ad- rmty are never connneu w one ciass. Reduced demand means reduced pro duction, the laving off of men and soon or late a reduced wage rate. Increased cmand means steadier employment for more men and soon or late better wages. These things are axiomatic. They refer not merely to the relation of the individual employer and the men work ing for him in one single industry but to all employers and all employes in all industries in each community. There is mutual interdependence. Activity or preesmn in each tmlu.try is renected to some extent in every other one. The actual cost of growing, shipping and delivering to the retail dealer in the central west of a box of oranges is $2.29. From this it can be seen how unprofitable the crop much have been to the producer the present season. The averaee price In New York city bas been J1.83. County Fruit Inpjiector Beck has con demned 10,000 fruit trees shipped into Yacima county from an Oregon nursery man because thev were anocted wan crown and root sail and were the worst lot of trees brought into that county for years. Nurserymen should be more careful if they do not wish to get into trouble. If the reports are correct regarding the damage done by cold on the peach trees of New York. Michigan. Missouri, Illinois and Indiana, there should be a fine sale (or all this kind of fruit raiced on the Pacific Coast, notwithstanding the fact that Georgia will have the larg est crop produced 11 years.

" Sheboygan, Mich., grew from a small town to a hustling city by securing am ple manufacturing industries. For many years Sheboygan experienced but little growth, but in 1870 manufactur ing industries were sought for and encouraged.- The few established brought such good results that many others were started, and today the town has extensive tanneries and various oth er Industries and has made remarka ble growth in population. Every town that wishes to progress should be well supplied with manufacturing Indus tries and lose no chance to secure an increase of such industries. Queer Economy. "My route takes In a good many vil lages of the middle west," said a Cin cinnati drummer the other day, "and there Is one I want to refer to in par ticular. There is a fine chance to sewer the place for about $3,000, but because It will cost that sum the taxpayers kick about it When last there I was doing, a bit of figuring with a local physician, and we discovered that the want of sewers omigeu w iu pay out about a thousand dollars a year for medicines and doctor bills, to say nothing of ten or fifteen deaths and funeral expenses every twelvs months." It if siid that the fruit growers along the Hudson river in New York have lost $2,000,000 by reason of peach and other trees freezing. Beautifying; a state. "Whenever I see any of these propa- mndas for beautifying a city," said Senator Perkins of California recently, "I always think of the work done to beautify the state of California by a citizen of Altadena, which is bard uy Pasadena. The man's name Is Andrew McNally, and when he came to Cali fornia there were few birds at Alta dena, and those few were hardly what we would call beautiful. Sioaiiy made up his mind that the lnnd needed birds, so be built him an avinry and imported many hundreds of his ream ered friends. Once a year he would open the doors of his aviary and let the young birds fly whithersoever tney would, and In a short time the whole country was populated with feathered creatures of every variety of hue and song. Ills eiample was followed by Joseph Grlnnell and Mrs. Orinnell both of whom are ardent ornitholo gists, so that now the country around Pasadena Is a garden spot for birds of beautiful plumage. Many of the birds that were imported came from Japan and China. So you see there are more ways than one of beautifying a city or a stat a" To Eaeouracre Good Architecture, The cities of St Petersburg and Par is have an interesting device for en rouraglng good architecture. Buildings which are so artistically constructed that they are regarded as ornaments f the city are exempt from taxation for a period of years. The profession of architect has a much higher stand ing in Tarls than in American cities. A high standard of qualification fo the profession is enforced by the vol untary associations which control ad mission to Its ranks. The Paris archi tect signs his building In a conspicuous place on the front, as an artist does his painting. Paris and other continental 1 cities could tench us much in regard to the promotion of artistic building.
