ABOUT THE HoLLYHock.

This beautiful and Interesting Flower Has
Been Known Since 1873. :
OF all our summer flowers none can
compare in statefiness with the holly
hook. If the rose is queen, then this
dignified and commanding plant is her
chief marshal in the border Rising
each year from its green base, it attains
early in July height of from six to
eight feet, and begins to open along its
fine rosette stem the beautiful flowers
which add so much to the brightness OF
our gardens. Their colors are very pure,
ranging all the way from white to the
darkest crimson, and including some
fine shades of yellow. On the whole the
single and half-double ones are the
most picturesque as they are the most
of the very double ones convey more
fully the idea OF masculine strength:
When full grown, in strong soil, tho
plant will reach height of eight or
nine feet, and is of royal appearance in
deed.
The hollyhock, as every one knows, is
one Of the oldest inhabitants-our
grandmothers knew it we'll. 1t has, in
fact been in use in Europe since 1878,
when it was introduced to Occidental
gardens from its a. old home in
China Though, strictly speaking, a
biennial, the hollyhock (Ahhea rosea)
may, by attention to drainage,
winter covering, ETC., and especially
by the division OF the root, be
made to continue indefinitely. 1t
needs deep soil to do it's best, for it is
a strong feeder and does not mind all
the sunshine you can spare, so long as
you keep it's feet cool and moist. The
greatest enjoyment OF the flower comes
probably to those who raise it from the
seed of blooms fertllized and crossed by
1.-The bees in their own gardens.
4 The innumerable surprises which come
from such seed are assource of interest
which few perhaps comprehend who
have not tried the experiment, Those
proposing to do SO should lay the founda-
ton by sowing the best seed procurable

of the latter is still unrivaled. Sown in

young plants will be large enough to

around them before winter closes in is

to rot about the stem in early spring.

A POWERFUL LIGHT.


How Sound Steamer Is Equipped For
Foggy Weather.
Steamer Connecticut, of the Prov
dence and Stonington steamship line,
has been equipped with now Hunting
ton search light Men have been en-
ployed on the big boat for the past few
months constructing the light and get
ng It IN running order They accom-
plished their task only a few days ago,
and now the big Connecticut can forge
its way through Long Island Sound dur
ing nights when fog dims the eyes OF
the ever-watchful pilot, without much
fear of collision. The wonder isihow
the Long Island steamers ever managed
to do without the search light
The search light is situated on top OF
the pilot house and is played on any
quarter desired by the pilot within At
his will he can throw the powerful light
toward the sky or water, and all by the
means of a little wheel with switch.
On very dark night objects at dis
lance of two miles away can be seen
quite plainly. When fog is dense the
light is thrown att distance OF half a
mile. The light as located on the top
of the pilot house, is connected with
the regular incandescent system of the
boat BY means of weight that may
be operated by magnet the steam fog
horn OF the vessel is brought under the
control of the electric current
In the pilot house there are four
switches controlling the current that
runns tn the search limo and fop horn

THE TARIFF BILL,
Its Passage Would Mean a Democratic
Victory In 1902


The Evening Post has repeatedly
warned those Eastern Republican edit
ors who are loudly demanding the
passage of the force bill and the Nc
Kinley bill that they entirely misap-
prehend the temper of the Western Re-
publicans. We are glad to observe that
the readers OF the New York Tribune
have at last been permitted to get a
hint of the truth, through letter en-
bodying "what wide awake Republic
an observed in the West" Elijah r.
Ken nedy, the writer Of this letter, is
one of the most prominent Republicans
among the business men resident IN
Brooklyn, and he has just returned
from Wisconsin, where he had sxcel-
lent opportunities for conversing with
representative Republicans" The result
of his inquiries as to the force bill is
thus stated: "TheIe is not very deep

An.Extraordlnarv OperatIon.

Probably the most extraordinary sur
gfeal operation on record is reported
from Paris. DR. Lannelongue, an emil
nent specialist in the children's hos
pital, has just succeeded in the effort to
give intelligence to poor little idiot.
The child, little girl four years old,
hada deformed head, only about one
third the size Of ap. ordinary little zone
OF her age. She never smiled, never
took notice of any thing and she could
neither walk nor stand. The doctor be-
came convinced that the condition of
the little creature was due to the abb
normal narrowness of the head. which
hindered the natural growth ofsSthe
brain. About the middle of May last
he made long and narrow incision in
the left skull and cut portion out of
the left side Of it, without injuring the
-dura mater The result of this opera
ton was some thing astounding. In less
than month the child began to walk.
Now she smiles, interests herself in
every thing around her and plays with
doll. A tolerably bright little child
has taken the place Of the idiot Chi

PRACTICAL ECONOMICS. |

Why tho Mckinley Bill WEl Furnish Nd
Relief to the People ut Large.
One fact in practical economics should
b. fully understood, and that is that
whore > tariff system is the chief
source of nations revenue and is
properly arranged it will of necessity
give all needed protection to the in
dustries of country. In order to dc
this, however, few essential points
must be carefully observed:
l. ALI raw material that can not be
raised in the country should be free.
Q. Raw material raised within the
country should never have more than
enough duty to counterfeit the him
ORANGES In our own production.
8. The tariff should be as small as
possible upon things that enter into
family living.
4. The highest taxes should always be
upon Inquiries and the lowest upon COM
forts.
Observe these initial rules and it be.
comes. an easy matter to so appor-
ton the revenue as to afford Incl
dental protection to all American in
dustries. Unfortunately the tariffs Of
this country are so arranged as to ignore
everyoneof these foundation principles.
There is large list of free material,
it is true, but in most cases they are
upon things which do not enter largely
into our own productions. The single
prominent exception isahides, and this
it is proposed to remedy by the impo-
sition Of a duty, as proposed in the Me-
Kinley bill. The Pennsylvania manu-
facturers say: solve US free ores and we
will sell our iron and steel in Liver
pool" The wooden manufacturers say
give us free wool and dye stuffs and we
can compete with England and Ger
many in the markets of the world.
With free wool and dye stuffs American
carpets can be made as cheaply as they
are in Europe. Most OF these woods
that are desired free are of kinds that
are not raised IN this country and the
dye stuffs are not raised here at all.
The present tariff is square in the in
terest of the manufacturer and against
those of the people at large. The Me-
Kinley bill will furnish no relief. Chi.
