The first judicial decision as to the standing
of social clubs under the Raines law has been
rendered in Rochester by Justice Davy. OF the
Supreme Court. 1t will be recalled that few
weeks ago Corporation Counsel Scott, Of this
city. gave an official opinion that clubs are not
liable to an excise tax for the reason that they
do not traffic In liquor Justice Davy takes sub
stantially the same ground, which is in harmony
with the decision Of the Court Of Appeals, re-
Gently made. on the status Of clubs under the
former law The Rochester case is test one,
and will probably be carried up to the highest
court. The natural effect Of such q decision
will be TO bring into existence clubs whose only
social purpose Is to give the members plenty
of opportunities to drink without paying a large
tax TO the county and the State.

What is nuisance? The answer which the
New-Jersey State Board of Health gives to the
question is not the same that given by the
thousands Of people who are daily carried in
railway trains within smelling distance Of the
odoriferous piles of ordure on the meadows be-
tween Jersey City and Newark. That they con-
stitute nuisance of the most aggravated kind
the passengers have no doubt. The members
Of the Board Of Health. however. take refuge
behind their dictionaries and law books and de-
clare that they are not certain whether n
nuisance is being maintained that can be legally
suppressed. 1t Is a pity that some Of them do
not live near these mountains of foulness or are
not compelled to pass them twice a day. or
oftener Their doubts would then vanish, and
they would undoubtedly see that these destroy

The latest outbreak of college hazing Is re-
ported from Lafayette College, where number
Of freshmen have been treated in the tiIne-dis-
honOred fashion. II seems a little odd that
freshmen should be dealt with In this way when
their first year In college Is within a month OF
It's end. President Warfield is rightly OF the
opinion that these occurrences disgrace the III
stitutlon and call for the punishment Of the
offenders Four sophomores have been indefi-
nitely suspended. and the investigation is still
in progress Hazing has been frowned Oh Sc
verely at Lafayette as well as at other colleges,
and until now 1t has been supposed to have been
broken up. Judicous severity at this commune
ture will probably give the death-blow to the
practice.

on the whole there seems to have been wonder
fully little exaggcrati n Luckily the injury TO
the Auditorium Building was overestinatcd;
there is no reason for even considering the ques-
ton Of postponng the convention which is TO
NEE, on the 10th inst. The amount of suffer
ing on account OF the tornado is suggested by
the statement that $500 deserving persons
made application for relief yesterday. Nearly
100000 has been raised in st. Louis already,
and numerous contributions are being sent in
from other places, although no appeal for aid
has been sent out and none is contemplated.

A bachelor old and cranky was sit

o'erspread with gloom. No little ones

to attic twas as still as still could be.
No medical aid was lacking. His serv-
pnts answered his ring, respectfully
heard his orders and supplied him with
everything. But still there was some
thing wanting which he could not COM

PROPAGATION FROM CUTTINGS.

some thrifty young plants at green
house in February, take slip or two
from each and propagate at once. Then
in March set both the purchased plant
(now shifted into n larger pot) and the
rooted slips (by that time potted) into
hotbed and advance them well there
until planting-out time.
In plant propagation the home gar
dener often loses sight of various COLI
ditions which the professional deems
essential. BY the aid of the accom-
panying sketch of begonia | will
point out some of these. First, the slip
should not be too hard or too soft at its
base. If it be too hard, it will root with
difficulty and grow slowly; If too soft,
the slip is liable to decay or to make u
weakly plant. In the case of the be-
gonia shoot illustrated, point just be-
low the third joint, counting up, was
found to possess condition interme-
diate between the extremes named. In
preparing the cutting for the sand
some pruning is desirable, for now
there are no roots to sustain extra lear
surface To remove the lower leaf ems
t;rely and cut away the points of the
longer remaining leaves is all that is
required, leaving the slip as shown
at b.
Clean sand is the best substance in
which to root cuttings. The cutting
should not be set more than about
half an inch deep. The sand should
be somewhat compacted against it.
The cutting box or pot should occupy
warm, light place, shading the slips IL
the sunshine be strong. Enough water
should be applied to keep the roots
from tagging, and frequent sprinkling
of the foliage is desirable. AS soon us
roots half an inch in length have been
formed it is desirable to pot the young
plant. - Elins A. Long, in American
Gardening.

Lost Grandeur of the East.

A comparison between the annual
revenues of the byzantine empire in the
beginning Of the thirteenth century
and the present revenues of the empire
of the Ottoman Turks brings before the
mind'seye picture Of the lost grandeur
and wealth of provinces over which
now broods the silence of desolation.
At the period mentioned the dominions
Of the Greek emperors at Constantine
pie had been impoverished by the in
vasion of the Frank Crusaders, and the
chief part of Asia Minor, with its flour
ishing cities, had been wrestcd from the
byzantine monarchs by conquering
Islam; yet the annual income Of the
successors of Constantine amounted to
$e50,0O0,000 The revenues of the sui
tan's empire have shrunk to S90,000,000
per year. Such is the blight which
Turkish misrule has brought upon
some of the fairest regions of the earth.

IT'S MIGHTY coMFoRTIN'.


oh. it'l mighty comfortin'. when your hair
Is gettin' thin,
And the wrinkles In your face have come
TO stay,
Just to feel her little hand smoothin' out
each silver strand,
While you meet her lovin' look and hear
her say;
"John, my DEAR II seems as though every
day you live you grow
Handsomer than in the olden days."
And you smile back at your wife while
You think In all your life
You never heard a sweeter word OF praise.
Then. somehow. the teardrops rise to your
dim, old fadin' eyes.
4 While you kiss the tender hand still white
and small.
And you try to tell her how you loved
her thcn-you love her now,
But. bless me, II the words will come at
ALL
For. just then. It comes to you to think of
trials she's gone thro'
And borne without murmur for your
sake.
You can only bow your head at the lovin'
things she's said.
And your poor old heart can only ache
and ache.
But she knows what ails you then, and she
kisses you again,
While you hear her gently whisper,
sweet and low;
Life has bro't moro hopes than fears we
have known more smiles than tears,
You're the dearest dear Of dears, John
Anderson, my Joe!'
80 It's comfortin'. say. when your hair
Is gettin' gray.
And you're slppin down life's hill a
mighty fast
Just to feel her little hand strokin back
each silver strand,
While she whispers that she loves you
to the last.

New Ideas In Hats and Bonncts Are Al
ready Appearing.
Spring millinery Is always topic
of absorbing interest, and the first adj
vanced models are to be seen. These
indicate no lesscning in the frills, fuss
and frivolity which have beer charac'
teristics of the stylish headgear lately,
though it is possible that as the seasor
grows older this tendency may be
modified. Vast quantities of flowers,
particularly wild flowers, will be used,
and the omnipresent aigrette will lose
nothing of it's present charm. The
models now shown are all elaborate,
more or less, and large, coming wei
over the face. This importation has
high crown of butter-colored cloth and
q brim OF white tulle ruflles, standing
erect and edged with black lace. At
the base of the crown is band OF
black velvet, and one side is finished
with q black ostrich tip, large
aigrette of black and white, ana a
white tulle rosette.
Under the brim is a perfect wilder
ness of aowers-violets, pink roses,
holly and gardenia.
A sailor hat of heliotrope straw has
n medium high crown, with wreath
of pink roses about the brim, covered
with heliotrope tullc. On each side,
but more toward the back than the
front, is n bunch of violets and leaves,
while across the back is big Alsatlan
bow of heliotrope taffeta ribbon,
caught with brilliant buckles. Under
the brim are couple of punches of
pink roses. The combination Is rather
daring, but shows the tendency of the
hour to what might be called exceed
ing liberality in color. Another bit OF
similar daring is little toque of VIC.
let's with dark red and yellow roses
sunk in the violets, and pink and red
roses on one side, a high violet aigrettc

touch of impudent defiance of color

delicate oolored silks and fairly blaZ
