There are SO many beautiful kinds of
lilies, each with charm of its own. that
1t would be hardly just to single out one
and pronounce 1t more beautiful than all
the rest. But certainly 1t would be hard
to name one that excels in good qualities
the old-fashioned Ascension lily Qilium
csndidum), which has been cultivated
probably as long as any other flower
known in gardens. The disease which has
injured it for some years past seems to
have run its course; at least, these lilies
were never more luxuriant or the flowers
more perfect than they have been this
year. A mass of these flowers in full
bloom, with some dark green foliage be-
hind them, is beautiful spectacle, and so
is a group of them mixed with the tall
blue spikes of the perennial Delphiniums.
Hardy lily-bulbs are usually planted in the
autumn, but the bulbs of this one should
be lifted in late July or early August and
planted at once. At that time the stalks
have died down and soon after new roots
begin to put out and some glossy radical
leaves spread over the ground and remain
green all the winter. The bulbs should be
planted before this new growth starts, or
there will be a great loss in the vigor of
the plants growth.

A VI A II VINO NJ ~

Occasionally, in spite of the feminine
notion to the contrary, there is O man who
believes in marriage, and marriage to one
woman. Such a man is the Rev. Walter
Crandall. Some time ago he showed his
belief in marriage by being married to
the woman of his choice in Lansing,
Michigan, according to the forms of the
Methodist church. The happy pair went
to Europe on a bridal tour. On the jour
ney Mr.. Crandall told his wife that their
marriage had not been enthusiastically above
reproach, because the minister who
united them had not been ordained by
the Apostolic imposition of hands, so the
bride and groom were married over again
in Dublin. Being very particular about
marriage, it did not take Mr.. Crandall
long to discover that st. Patrick's had
once been Catholic cathedral and that it
had not been dedicated since it ceased to
be used for Catholic worship.
Clearly, said Mr.. Crandall, this
was fatal defect in the validity
of the second service, 80 that he
riage OH board ship by the Rev. Giles
Knight, a Presbyterian clergyman. A lit
tie later Mr.. Crandan went to one of Col.
Ingersoll's lectures and heard things about
John Calvin that made him utterly dis
trustful of Presbyterianism and conse-
quently of the Rev. Mr.. Giles. 1t was
after this that Mr.. Crandall and his wife
were married by Unitarians, Baptists,
Spiritualists and Swedenborgians. And he
has finally discovered that nothing but a
Congregational marriage has the indorse-
ment of Heaven.
Here is man who is laboring with
might and main 10 uphold marriage, and
marriage to one woman. And what saith
the woman? She is trying to get one di-
vorce from him as an offset to all the
marriages,

who occupied the next room declares
that he spent the balance of the night
marching up and down, and at every
step swearing at himself something after
this fashion: You thought you knew all
about faro, didn't youi You - -

GETTING SICK OF FREE TRADE.
Since Lord Salisbury "spoke out in
meetin'" there has been a good deal of
open criticism by Englishmen of England's
free trade policy. The great decline in
the export trade of England is alarming
those who have 80 firmly believed in free
trade. The decrease for April, as COM
pared with 1891, is e1, ,960, ,504, making
the total of the export trade for the five
months f8, S41 ,169 less than it was during
the corresponding period of last year; and
1t has to be borne in mind that this is on the
top of the decline in exports during the
first five months of 1891 of e3, ,391 1906
when compared with 1890. England's
trade seems, therefore, to be on the down
grade, and the pace is accelerating as it gains
momentum in its descent In view of these
facts the Coventry Reporter and General
Advertiser feels moved to remark: We say
that our free trade policy has produced
this result, but it is responsible for even
more. Brought into existence by the in
centive of free British ports, our rivals
have not been slow to impress upon their
own governments the duty of safeguard
ing native industries, and thus they have
not only cut ue at home but abroad. When
the free trade policy was first introduced
this country had a predominance in all
manufacturing enterprise, and scarcely a
serious rival existed. Who can say as
much now that the Americans are run
ming us q neck-and-neck race in our own
specialties, and Germans, Frenchmen and
Belgians are knocking US out of all but the
highest class trade in other countriesa
Surely it must be obvious that the condi-
tions have sufficiently changed to justify a
reconsideration of our policy.
The free traders of this country wont
get much campaign material from England
this year.

1reatmenI or rne Czar's Consumptive Son.
The Grand Duke George, the czar's
second son, who ever since his enforced
return through illness from his Indian
tour has been under medical treatment
for pulmonary disease, has been passing
the winter at Abbas- Tuman in the Cau-
casus. A private letter from that place
states that his imperial highness is under
going most remarkable course of treat
ment. The walls in his apartments are
bare and unpapered, the furniture is of
plain wood or cane without upholstering
or stuff covering of any kind, and his bed
consists only of the thinnest of mat
tresses. Throughout the winter only q
very moderate fire has been kept up,
while the windows of the grand dukes
rooms have been continuously open.
His attendants have suffered dread
fully from the cold, but his medical ad-
visers hold that this low temperature is
very beneficial to their imperial patient,
as it tends to destroy the bacillus and
prevent the formation of tubercle. They
maintain that the progress of the disease
has been arrested, and express hopes
that, if the treatment which they pre-
scribe is persevered with, the grand
duke will in two years. time have COM

PITCHER ROACH GOES EAST,
He Will Be Missed By the Los
Angeles Team.
Baseball, Turf, Prize Ring and Gen

Three Lively Bouts Before the Coney
Island Athletic Club-Zimmer-
man 5mashes the Canadian
Cycling Records.

Jack Roach, one of the pitchers otthe
Los Angeles Baseball club, yesterday re-
ceived dispatch that his mother was
seriously ill at Renova, Penns ylvania.
Roach left on the next train for the
east. Another telegram was received
later in the day that his mother was
much better, and an attempt was made
to reach Roach at San Bernardino and
convey to him the latest information, in
the expectation that he would not con-
tinue the journey, but return to Los
Angeles.
Roach will leave gap in the team,
hard to fill. Stafford will be called upon
to do the twirling, and either O'Brien
or Whitehead may be secured to play
short. The situation is a serious one,
and the management must not lose any
time. The clubs are 30 we'll matched
that any delay may prove disastrous.
Roach has shown himself to be one of
the best pitchers in the league, and it is
unfortunate that Los Angeles is to lose
his services, even if it is only for a
month, especially at this stage of the
game.
