The St. Loula Gardening scholarships.
 From Garden and Corestl


 A prospectus relating to the new scholar ships offered under the foundation of the Missouri Botanical Garden has been issued. Applications for these scholarships. which will not exceed six, must be in the hands of the director, Prof. Treleass, not later than che first of March. A preliminary examiaa- tion will be held on the 4th of that month. If there are more than six applicants for the scholarships, g competitive examination will be held on the 7th and 9th. The prelimi- nary examination will be confined to English grammar, reading, writing, spelling, arith- metic and geography. The competitive ex- animation, only held in case there are more applications than scholarships, will embrace the history of the United States, English lit- erature, algebra, German, clements of bota. ny and zoology and such other subjects as may be prescribed. Arrangements are made by which candidates living remote from St. Louis, who may desire to save the expense of . journey to that city, can be examined at their homes by the principal of some ap- proved school. Successful candidates will begin work in the garden the list of April. They are to be lodged in comfortable rooms in dwelling adjoining the garden under the charge of the head gardener or some other competent person. Board can bsobtained at reasonable cost.
 It is the intention of the trustees af the school to make, as far as possible, the sur roundiDgs of the pupils homelike, although they assume no responsibility for their be- havior outside of working hours. The schol- arships may bs held for six years, and the incumbents will be paid fortnightly at the rate of $200 8 year for the first year, $250 for the second year, and $500 for the remaining years. During the first year of their schol. arship, garden pupils will be expected to work at the practical duties of the garden nine or ten hours daily, according to the season, and to reau the notes and articles re- ferring to the subject of their work in one or more good journals. In the second year, in addition to five houra' manual work, they will be given instruction and will be expect. ed to do thorough residing in vegetable-gar- dening, flower gardening, simple fruit cul- ture, and orchard culture. Daring the third year, in addition to their Ave houre' manual labor, they are to be instructed in forestry, elemental botany, landscape gar. deninR and tho rudiments of surveying and grading, and will be required to take charge of clipping or indexinR some depart- ment of the current gardening papers. The fourth year they arc to study the botany of weeds, garden vegetables and fruits, with simpls bookkeeping and tho lsgal torms for
Morning journal and courier., 1890-01-23

leases, deeds, etc. The fifth year they are to be instructed in vegetable physiology, eco- which cause diseases Of cultivated plants; and each pupil, in addition to his five hours of manual labor, will keep simple set of ac- counts pertaining to one department Of the garden. They will study during the sixth year the botany of garden plants. trees in their winter aspects, and the theory of spe- cial gardening connected with some branch of the work they are charged with in the garden.
 With such opportunities for practice and study, g young man of ordinary intelligence and industry ought to be we'll equipped at the end of his six years, and able to eom- mand agreeable and renumerative labor. The demand for thoroughly instructed men to serve as managers of public parks and private estates is large already in this coun- try, and steadily increasing. Skilful plant- growers abound, but really good gardeners, in the broad sense of the term, are difficult to find in America and in every other coun- try-Garden and Forest, --E

 The first dividend on the proat.sharing ba- sis at the Bourne mill, Fall River, has just been declared. The sum to be divided among the help amounts to little more than six per csnt. of the dividends paid to stockholders during the same time.

 The breaking down of the 11O-ton gun on board the English ironclad Benbow, after 1t had been subjected to the strain of less than half hours firing, will probably put stop to the construction of cannon of this im- mense size, at least until some more satisfac- tory method for their construction than any now in use has been discovered. The cost of gun of this character is nearly, if not quite, $1OO, ,O00.
 Last year there was an increase of only one savings bank in Massachusetts, while there was an increase of twenty seven cooperative banks, gain of more than 40 per cent. over the total number in existence the year be fore. There are now ninety three co-opera- tive banks in that State, against 177 ordinary savings banks. This large increase in ce-op- erative banks has led the bank commissioners to recommend legislation looking to their re- atriction, although they recognize their value when wisely managed. The Massachusetts State Association of Cooperative Banks will hold its annual session in Boston on Friday of this week.

Two widows Fighting for Chicago Mans
Estate.
Two women who have been living within
. couple of miles Of each other for several
years unaware OF each Others existence,
met in Chicago court, both believing
themselves to be the widow Of the Same
man. Joseph Pullman married Susanna
Pullman in England in the SOS, but
after . number Of years deserted
her ard came to Illinois, causing .
report to be circulated in his old Lanca-
shire home that he had died soon after
arriving in this country. The fact was that
he kept on living and soon, in the guiss Of
. bachelor, married Ellen Hill. The first
wife. after some years, emigrated TO Amer
ica and came by strange chance to Chi
cago; also with her were her three
children. Ths two families remained
in the same section Of the city, hut
never met. Pullman died short time ago
without informing wife No. z that she wss
not No. l. The newspaper death notice
led to inquiries by the English spouse,
who sAtisded herself Of the identity
Of the deceased without learning
OF the second marriage. The matter
Of Pulman'a estate came up in
the probate court to-day and the womsn
met for the frst time. There VAS much
bitterness. Wife No. won in contest
for the property, which amounts TO only
$500. No. will appeal and the litigation

A Chicago paper asserts that the big

States have formed trust with capital
Of @25, ,0oo, 900. II includes al but Ave Of
the large organisations ~ the
country. Among the companies
in it are the Omaha 4 Grant Smelling
and Refining company Of Omaha and
Denver. the Kansas City Smelling and

Psnnsylvania Lead company Of Mansfield,

Great Falls, Mont, and the Ell Paso
smslter, Of FL Paso, Tex.
The 6rst conference between the heads
Of the companies WAS held in Omaha last
November. The object OF the meeting was
stated to be to devise way for protecting
the stnelters from the lead trust. Various
ways Of organization were discussed, but
nothing definite was determined on at that
meeting. Guy Barton, of Omaha. was
elected president and n. Geist, of Pueblo,
secretary. 1t was shown that the trust
would make profit annually Of about
$4,O0O, 600. As only six companies were
represented at this meeting, it was deter
mined to confer with the other manufact-
urers and have another meeting later
This was held in Chicago, Feb. l3. and
then ii was determined to organize CON-
pany known as the United States Smelling
and Refining company. OF the capital

serted that tho necessary stock has been
subscribed and the hnal articles Of incor.
poration will soon be fled in the different
states and territorities. The chief object
of the smelters, it 10 said, 10 to place their
interests beyond the control Of the lead
trust.
