This one was told Washington
Star reporter of naval officer on
himself One of our handsome ships,
with her handsome officers, was
cruising in Peruvian waters, and
while in port the grand ball in honor
of the wife OF the president of the
republic was given. The young
officer was there in full uniform,
which is warm enough at any time,
but which in ballroom, after a
number of whirls in giddy waltz,
such as the Spanish descendants in
Peru put up, is anything but an ice
cooler. Our young hero invited
charming Peruvian to waltz. She
consented, and away they went. After
several turns about the room he
began to wish that the young lady
would suggest that they promenade, as
most of the other couples did from
time to time. But not she. On they
went, spinning and prancing. The
heavy uniform had become o sweat
box. The young man was burning
the young officer under his breath.
Early in the game he had exhausted
the few Spanish phrases he knew.
He did not dare stop until she did, as
such breach of etiquette might
mean that her brother would be likely

long time in tight-fitting uniform

gan to wabble, but he kept his feet,
and that girl never seemed to weary.
When tho twenty minutes had expired
the music ceased. Other couples had
waltzed and stopped and waltzed
again. Some of his brother officers
had waltzed with half a dozen beauti-
full senoritas, and they were wonder
ing why he was so devoted to the par
ticular one he was still hugging and
whirling when the music stopped. He
led her to seat, and for himself
sought the open air and unbuttoned
his coat.
He was in a pitiable plight. He did
not enter the ballroom again for two
hours, and when he did he was still
too weak to dance or enjoy the festiv-
tiles. The young lady he had waltzed
with avoided him. Other ladies, who
had seen the long-distance record,
see led pleased that he did not ask
them to dance when presented. Later
in the evening he learned that it was
the Peruvian custom for the gentle
man, to suggest that they should cease
waltzing or promenade or retire from
the floor. 1t would have been immod-
est for his partner to suggest stop
ping. The young officer says the men,
DRY of that Peruvian night ha, nts him

the public treasury. The success Of
this method of retaining the lands
in Victoria is shown by the following
statement: "When it is recollected
that the first trusts in tho colony were
not formed until 1882, and the first
irrigation trust not until 1884, the
progress that has been made may be
estimated in a general way from the
fact that there are now twenty-four
water trusts covering an area of
100000 acres, and six irrigation
trusts covering an area of 356,7ss
acres, in addition to fifteen applica-
tions for the constitution of new irri-
cation trusts which will cover nearly
10000 900 acres more" 1t would seem
from the above facts and conclusions
of the British commission that they
had adopted the irrigation district
principle now in vogue in California
under what is known as the Wright
act;" that the communal principle and
the irrigation district principle are
similar, except that in Victoria the
government oversight of the irriga-
ton trust is so strong and vigilant as
to prevent abuses and failures, which
have sprung up, in some instances,
under the irrigation district system of
California.
IN WYOMING.
So far as we have proceeded in this
matter as state, we have made no
mistake in our legislation. We have
observed the fundamental prin ciples
which underlie the problem, and are
now the admiration of the students of
the problem of irrigation in the west.
In the states control of the water
with its system of administration,
we find that under the laws of l89O-91
provision is made for the formation of
water divisions for administrative
purposes. The superintendent of
each water division, who is appointed
by the governor, by and with the con-
sent of the senate, together with the
state engineer, make up our state
board of water control, whose duties
are clearly outlined by law. Now it
would be an easy step. in harmony
with present irrigation laws, to make
provision for the creation of irrigation
districts upon the communal principle
of Victoria, with municipal or quasi
municipal powers for the sole purpose
OF reclaiming land. These irrigation
districts would vary in size according
to locality and the amount of land to
be reclaimed from and under the same
system of bitches. Our present sys-
tenn of water control would still stand
as an excellent method of state con-
troll and administration of our water
supply, by which all parties would be
protected in their priority of water
rights and in the adjudication of dis
puted claims.

A Few Words About Roses.

Before a convention of farmers in
Ottawa, Mrs. Lambert said: Some
years ago, when was invited to write
paper on roses readily consented.
/ was then enjoying my first success
in cultivating my favorite flower, and
felt possessed of such an unlimited
fund of informationon on the subject
that was ready to instruct any one
who stood in need of such knowledge
But since then years have put to the
test some of my pet theories, and, 7
must confess, put many of them to
fight, and now I only feel capable of
saying few words in the matter. 1t
must be understood that whatever I
now say is intended for the novice
only. no longer aspire to teach the
experienced foriculturist. The first
necessity for rose growing is morning
sun. do not believe that any salts
faction can possibly be obtained, even
though the sun should beat on ones
roses from midday to midnight. 1t is
the early morning sun which is the
source of life and strength to them,
and if after midday they are in the
shade so much the better. Rich soil,
shelter from north and east winds
by shrubs, or a fence not too near,
and plenty of room for ventilation be-
tween the bushes-under these condi-
tions any rose except standards may
be grown with perfect success in
Ottawa. Of course nearly all of them
must be covered in winter, and the tea
roses much more heavily than others.
Rosa rugosa, all the briars, including
the two yellow roses, and all moss
roses, are better for being left quite
unprotected. All should be heavily
mulched bsfore the first of July. The
most important division, to the gar
dener, is that of remontant and nom
remontant, or summer varieties.
The former bloom on shoots of
the same years growth, while the lat
ter must have 2-year-old wood before
they will show us flower. As to
pruning: If ones roses are all remon-
tant the experience of Canon Hole, the
well known rosiarian, will serve as a
guide. He said that his roses had
never been so glorious as they were
the year they had been pruned by q
donkey that had broken into his gar
den and cropped his remontants to the
ground. According to this one should
cut out as one does with its cousin,
the raspberry bush, every shoot that
has borne, and shorten the new
growth, while with the others only
2-year-old wood must go. If I could
only grow one rose it should be q
Jaqeminot, and II I could have six
they should all be the same, but If
more might be mine for the choosing
l should say three La France, three
Mime. Victor Verdier, three Baroness
Rothschild, three Merveille de Lyon,
one Gracilis moss, and Old English
moss, and one crested moss There
are, of course, dozens moro, perfect
dreams of loneliness, but some weak
ness of constitution or shyness of
blooming would make me wait until
years success with the varieties I
have named had given me strength to
bear the trial of possible failure with
the host of beauties which rise before
me at this moment and plead in vain
for word in their behalf.
