Carnation Culture.

The RemOntant, or tree CarnatiOn,
is an important pant with CONNER
cial growers and florists. New varie-
ties of it appear every year. The pro-
pagation of the plants from cuttings
is usually done from February to
April. The young rooted plants in
the greenhouse are placed in cold
frames in the spring and principally
in the open ground. The large grow
er plants out in rows about three feet
apart and eight or ten inches distant
in the rows keeping the ground clean
and mellow at first with the hoe and
afterward by use of horse and cult
vatOr.
The private grower uses the hoe, Civ
ing the plants only the space theymay
require. The aim is to maintain
steady, thrifty growth during the sea-
son. All flower buds must be kept off
and the ends of the shoots must be
pinched several times during the sea-
son in order to make them as branch
ing as possible, and SO capable Of pro-
ducing the greatest number of flow
ers
The plants are left out until frosts
are to be expected, then they are care
fully lifted, each with some soil at
tached, potted, watered and left few
days in the shade. Afterward they
are given a place near the glass,
which for few days may require to
be shaded. Commercial florists set
the plants in solid beds in their hous-
es. The most favorable temperature
for the plants from this time forward
is from fifty to ifty-fve degrees. AS
to the supply of water, wet the soil
thoroughly, and then allow it to be-
come nearly dry before watering
again. Carnation growers have be-
come critical in regard to varieties,
and new one must have superior
points to be acceptable. Vick's Illus
trated Magazine gives in addition to
the foregoing information, fine en-
craving of a new yellow variety
named Mayor Pingree.

Mr.. Peary, U. s. NJ, the arctic ex
plorer, told some interesting things OF
the polar regions at recent public
dinner. lie said he could talk of only
one thing, and then laid hold of the
pole. Picturinga man standing over the
north pole, he said that this person
would have but one point to his com.
pass, and that would be south. He
could not move, except south. Time
would be unknown to him. He would
know no night or day. Experiences
of Nansen and himself during the last
three years, he said, had shown that
the ideal party to discover the pole
must consist OF only two or three per-
sons. The old idea of a large party
must be abandoned. BY modern meth
DDS the pole could be reached without
any of the horrors of the Franklin and
Greedy expeditions. He considered
that the man who makes the discovery
will rank with Columbus. The ques-
ton as to what good it would be to
such a man to discover the pole would
be like asking what good was the
wreath at the Olympian games. 1t
would be tribute to endurance, en-.
orgy, persistence, the conquering of
obstacles. 1t would be the peerless
prize of the day, and should go to an
American. 1t had become possible,
with all the recent light on the sub,
iect, he said, for him to advise and
propose within the last month a prac-
tical plan to get there. There were
only 260 miles beyond the highest
point already reached to be trayersed.
He thought the only way to reach the
pole would be to follow up Greenland
as it reaches toward The pole. A GER
tain tribe of Eskimos there could be
relied upon to furnish assistance. A
fund of $780, 900 would keep such a
small party as he advised for ten years
working away. Under the arrange
men5 he proposed, he said, to reach
the pole would he entirely possible

Under the operation OF the child
labor law in Illinois, as enforced by
Miss Florence Kelley, Chief Factory
Inspector, there has been q positive
decrease in the number Of children
employed in the factories. This de-
crease has continued Notwithstanding
the fact that a larger percentage of
children usually finds employment in
these concerns during dull times, their
cheaper labor being sought and idle
fathers sometimes finding it necessary
to send them to the shops. The mum
Der of children found unlawfully EN-.
ployed in 1896 was B. Z per cent. of the
total number of employees, as against
40 in 1895, CO in 1894, and So in
1893 This decrease is the more
marked because the inspectors covered
2067 more establishments than in any
previous year. In the stock yards
there is no noticeable change in the
number of children employed, but the
reverse is happily the case in glass
factories, where the report says the
dwarfng of children by their arduous
labors seems to have been decisively
checked. Sweat shops are still the
greatest evil to be contended with,
one.sizth of all the children employed
in the State working in the garment
trades. The ratio, the report says,
increases yearly in spite of persistent
prosecutions of violators of the law.
The only complete remedy, the In.
spector says, would be the prohibition
of tenement manufacture.
