The put,es OF a Party WHIP.

REWRITING to the duties of whip and
patronage secretary, it is an astonishing
fact that gentlemen Of birth and social
position can be found to fill the post.
The junior whips duties are not only
onerous, but irksome They sit or stand
in the outer lobby Of the house from half
past to half past ~ at night, and they
ask every member who passes where he
is going, whether he is paired and when
he will be back If he is not paired,
they have either to find pair for him
or TO prevent him from passing out by
coaxing or threats, the former for pref
erence. When their party are in, these
gentlemen have to attend their Office
from 10 to 8. Their hours Of duty are,
therefore, from II a. m. to IL p. M, or
Is hours, with intervals for lunch and
dinner, and this they do for FL, 900 a
year. When their party is out they do
it, minus their Office work, for nothing
In addition to keeping an eye on his
Juniors, the chief whip, who has 60, 600
year, deals with the members on their
more touchy side. 1t is he who practical
ly distributes ribbons and titles and sees
that cards of invitation are sent to this
man and that; that no one is given I'M
due preference, delicate duty which re-
quires much tact and skill Mr.. Tom

The Thirteen Superstition.

foolish superstition has been knocked

of Sullivan and Gilbert's ''IolaIthe.
OF course nothing came of it. Another
time I dined with the Thursday club of
Philadelphia at roadside inn on the
Wissahickon It was discovered that
there were IS at table, and one Of the
party being superstitious the landlord
was asked to come in and make the
fourteenth. He did SO, and the result
was that he and not one of the IS died
before the year was out. This is the

veRpuRous LAWNS AND FOLIAGE.
An Englishman Tells About the Careful
Gardening In His Native Land.

An Enelishman Tells About the Careful
Gardening In His Native Land.
Lewis Rose, practical gardener,
came to this country 10 years ago from
England, where he was farmer, and
he trims and cuts according to English
rules. Speaking of this country, he said:
You Americans do not know what
good lawns are. In England the houses
of the gentry are surrounded by acres
of green sward that looks just like vel
vet. They NOW the grass with ma
chine every week, and after the mower
comes a heavy stone roller that rolls it
down as fiat as piece of paper. 1t is
just as smooth as chat table cover there
stretched over the table. The roller is
to press down and heal any little break
or tear in the turf made BIZ the machine.
If you break the turf anywhere, it is
just like breaking your skin. You
must fix it directly, or there will be
sore place on the lawn. Even if it gets
well there will always be a scar there
unless you mend it carefully. You
should see the English lawns after a
showerl The green is beautiful, and
every blade of grass stands up straight,
but all the little blades are of exactly
the same length, and they look soft and
level. The perfume of the new grass
is delightful. They have windows gen.
orally that come down to the floor, and
on the walls outside the house are
climbing rose bushes all in bloom. The
combined odor of roses and new mown
grass is very pleasant.
You have to go at lawn as If 1t
were piece of embroidery you were
at work on. First you must have good
rich, decaying mold for the grass to
live on. You cannot make grass grow
in sand. Then as the grass comes up
you must go over it step by step and
dig out all the coarse grass and weeds
and be sure to mend each place after
digging up the roots. Then you will be-
gin to find patches where no grass APP
pears. You want to have grass seed
handy and sow these places with it.
water my lawns twice day-in the
morning before the sun gets fairly up
and at night after it goes down. NOW
the grass every week. After you have
good lawn you must watch every
inch of it. You have no idea how easy
it is to let patch here and there get
poisoned to death. When you find any
foreign substance on a lawn that is like
ly to poison the grass, you want to dig
it up, put fresh soil and fertilizer I'M
der it and fit new and healthy bit of
turf in the hole you have MADE. Then
keep an eye on it afterward and water
it well. The rich, decomposed sweep
ings from the stable make the best fer
tilizer.
In pruning trees you want to cut off
every long shoot and make your trees
compact and bushy like a full blown
rose. Even wealthy Americans let their
trees get scrawny, and they don't al
ways cut them enough to prevent decay
in some of the branches. 1t is easy to
trim trees if you understand this prin-
ciple. And the only reason have been
successful with my lawns is that have
been willing to take pains with them
and do lot of hard work.-New York
