For more than 100 yearn many noted Introducers and ralseis of now varieties have devoted time and skill to produce loses that embrace the most Impoitaut chara t'erlstli.' of giving us their flowers In the autumn. Previous to the Intro duction Into Huropo of the Chinese roso (rosa liullca) towards tho (dose of the eighteenth century tho only roses obtainable In Hiirnpe, with few and iinlmpurtaut exceptions, were essentially summer-blooming vurle lies. Orndually as years 'moved on, by selection and hybrldutlon the trait has been developed and established, so that at. the present day a very large selection of varieties can be made, that with proper treatment may be depended upon, to give us a supply of these delicate and rich colored blooms In the autumn. Yes, even as late as Christmas we can occasionally cut a few perfect .blooms of such varieties as (Ihilre do Dijon, La r-'ranco, Testout, Papa (loutler and a few others. Ho much attention has of late been devoted to the Introduction and growth of fall-blooming roses that the National' Hose society of Kng land has for some years past held an annual show In September, and that month now shares with May and .litno the pioud distinction of being a "month of roses." I hnpo the litno may come with us when tho rose amateurs of this beau tiful Hose City, and In fad, or the Pacific, northwest In general, may have, a "roso day" In September as well as In May or June,, We can not, of coins!', expect to have such a profusion and wealth of bloom, biit with a judicious selection of varie ties and a little care and attention to cultivation the beantly of our gardens can be prolonged and main tained i nl II tin cold, hlool; winds mid rains of winter come upon us.

Tt the limits of this article It Is not feasible to enter fully Into the subject of cultivation for fall bloom ing, because overy phase of tho sub ject applies and leads up to the re sult, wo desire. I will therefore as sume that the plants have been properly mulched In tho previous late autumn or early winter, with good rich manure. Also that winter pruning has been attended to, and that the, bushes have been brought through their summer blooming In a satisfactory condition. We will now take hold of them for fall blooms. While the forego ing list of varieties (and many others) are good autumnal bloom ei'S, and while they can under ordi nary conditions be depended upon to supply more or less late flownra, a grmt deal can be done to assist nature so that we may enjoy In greater profusion and perfection tho properly developed charms of these favorites of autumn. One of tho lirst considerations and pcrhapB the most Important Is to glvo the bushes a period of rest after they have fin ished their summer (lowering. In our climate water should be with held throughout July, giving only mi (Helen' moisture at the roots to keep the plants from sulTeiiug. This will tend to ripen and mature the wood that has been made In the early spring and summer growth. Kurly In August when the wood has ripened, all weak shoots must lie ju diciously thinned out and tho healthy and vigorous one moderate ly shortened. Tho bush should nt the same time, lie nicely shaped up for Its second growth. Special at tention should now lie given to In duct and encourage this second growth. II Is upon the young shoot, now produced that wo get our llnest blooms, later. Therefore, keep the ground lu your rose'beds and around your Individual specimens loosiw and pliable by continual cultivation with the hoe. Liberal watorlng occa sionally at tho roots Is now essential If you can apply this lu tho form of weak ltttuld inuuure so much the heller. If this Is not practicable mulch nround the bushes a sprink ling of bone meal, guano or other fertilizer, and lightly hoe lu mid ink with the surface soil. Tho water you apply will cany It to the roots. Tho foregoing attention to and culti vation of your plants should be per sisted lu us If summer Instead of autumn was approaching.

A now modus Vivendi Is to bo established. Tho four protect ing powers England, France, Italy and Russia have informed tho king of Greece that ho Is empowered to name a new high commissioner for confirmation, first by tho four pow ers and afterward by tho sultan of Turkey. Germany and Austria, it may bo observed have retired from connection with the management of Crete, partly because they wished to bo free from nu Irksoino and expen- slvo rospdnslblllty anil partly be caiiBo they wish to be on good tonus wltli the Htiltan.

Tho In cident. Is Hlgnlilcunt lu soveral ways. It makes tho connection of Crete with Greece somewhat closer and service has not been made. We must candidly admit that at certain times during tho past three or four months the supply has not been what our customers hnve a right to expect, but It Is not due to an Inadequate plant nor Inefficient conduct of any of the plants of the company, but due to reasons absolutely beyond our control. Since the fire we have expended over $1,000,000 In the rehabilita tion of both our gas and electric In stallations, and are continually us ing every means In our power and known science to correct the faults 4 hat daily appear. If It Is recalled that tho center of distribution of both gas and electric services were, by the exigencies of the occasion lifted, as It were, In one night from Kearny ami Market to practically Fillmore and O'Fnrrell. It would be seen that human Ingenuity had big problems confronting It to devise ways and means to properly -supply such a new nnd milckly hitlhled district. The electric mains of the these just one Is absolutely fire proof. That one was built In Chi cago by the great Insurance compan ies for a testing laboratory. There are only four thousand buildings about one in three thousand that aro even nominally flreprpof, and these can be damaged In a conflagra tion to the extent of from 30 to 90 per cent of their value. Yet the un burnablo Underwriters' Laboratory In Chicago, with its walls of vitrified brick, floors, roof, and partitions of semi-porous, hollow terra-cotta, door and window openings framed In rolled steel, window frames and Bashes of sheet metal, doors of fill ed copper and steel, and .stairs of hollow terra-cotta. cost only 12 per cent more than a building that ould shrivel up at the first breath of an advancing fire. In 1905, which was a "normal year," wo spent $50,000,000 for new buildings and burned old ones to the value of $200,000,000. We paid $300,000,000 for fighting fire and $195,000,00 In fire Insurance premiums, of which we got back $95,000,000 from the companies In payments for losses. It cost ua more to burn part of our old buildings and protect the rest from burning than it did to put yet It la doubtful whether that. crop woiiiu pay for the actunlly have burned and ar. lng this year.

Miles Medical Co., Elkhart, Ind since tho aspiration of the Cretans for Incorporations with (Irooco has now boon pnrtialy rocognlsted by tho of tho powers. Certain reforms In Croto aro pre scribed by tho powers. The armed police, for example, are to bo reor ganised ami the Intoruatinual lluanco commission which hns tlreeco's llnauces lu charge Is to extend its operations to Oreto. Local olllcjals aro no longor to bo allowed to im pose tinwlso taxos mid wnsto tho proceeds uf taxation ln Indulging tho caprice of local politicians. Tho Cretan uovernmont hns opposed this reform as "reducing Crete to a1 Btato of slavery." but curbing tho ltbur tes of the spoilsman hardly deserves so harsh a characterization. A pure democracy cannot, however, bo snld lo exist tho former realm of King Minos.
