HYACINTH CULTURE IN WINTER

For indoor culture Of the Eyacinth
select early-blooming varieties. For
potting-soil use turfy loan, sand and
leaf-mOld, securing good drainage by
a layer of pots-herd at the bottom
Fill four-inch or five-inch pots within
a half-inch of the top with this COM
post, jar the pot to settle the earth,
then scoop out a place in the center,
SO that the bulb may be more than half
covered, and press the earth about it
firmly. Do not neglect to make the
excavation for the bulb. If you place
the bulb upon the surface AMI press it
down. the earth will be so firm beneath
that the roots will not penetrate it, and
liz consequence the bulb will rise out
of its place. After potiing. water
thoroughly, and set the pots in a dark,
rather warm closet until roots form,
which will be in from three to six
weeks. When rooted, the plants can
be brought gradually to the light.
By transferring to the window at sue
cessive intervals, the display of bloom
can be kept UP in the house until
early outdoor clusters begin to appear.
The room in which the plants are to
bloom should have a rather cool tenn
perature, and if the atmosphere is
kept moist by the evaporation of water
in an open vessel, where dry heat is
used, it will be better for the plants, as
well as the persons who occupy the
room. Avoid much direct sunlight
until you wish the flowers to open,
then give them the sunniest place you
have until the spikes develop. Once
developed, however, keep out of the
sun and in the coolest window of the
ROOM The important points in sue
cessfully managing hyacinths in the
house are to have the bulbs well rooted
before bringing to the light, water but
little until the buds begin to develop,
and keep in a rather cool temperature.

A CONSIDERABLE DOG.

w. A. Halsey tells neat dog story
which he says will be verified by Arch
itect G. A. Staehlin. One breezy morn
ing about ten days ago they were rid
ing down Market street upon the rear
of a trolley car, when the car passed
over nice, light, soft hat. which had
blown between the tracks. The hat
was not injured but the wind gave il
little f1irt after the car had passed
and dropped it fairly upon one Of the
rails. big New York car was COM
ing and ahead of it a big mongreI
pointed dog was trotting along.
The dog glanced at the hat, looked
back at the car, and then, picking up
the hat in his teeth, ran over to the
curb and deposited it upon the side
walk near a group of PAYERS who were
working alongside Of the courthouse.
After putting the hat in a safe place
the dog loped after the big car and
took his place in front of it. MIR.
Halsey did not see the owner of the
nat, nor did Mr.. Staehlin, but they
passed several remarks about the sag
acity of the dog, and it is believed
that they agreed that lit would be better
not to speak of the incident except
to people who knew them well.-New-

LAMONT'S SUGGESTION.

The annual report of the secretary
OF war, dry and technical in the main,
is of interest chiefly TO those directly
Or indirectly interested in the profess
sion of arms and to the legislators
called upon to deal with army needs
The general public may have it's opin-
ion about the advisability or inadvisa-
bility Of increasing the standing army
Of the United States, but beyond this
it has but little information concern
ing the organization and condition of
the federal troops.
Still, the present report contains
certain general suggestions to which
the public should not be Indifferent.
Thus Secretary Lamont states that,
while a steady improvement in the
training and efficiency of the militia
of the several states is reported, and
while cordial relations have been pro-
noted between the regular and state
forces, investigation has disclosed the
facts that there is a serious deficiency
in almost every item of armament and
equipment necessary for field service.
900 annually for the support of the
militia, while the federal government
appropriates only about $780, 900 drawn
in money or equipment, as the state
authorities elect. The secretary, &C
cordingly, expresses the opinion that
the national government should no
longer withhold the appropriations
! n IN he fo+o
a proper footing and enable them to
render more effective aid when called
into the service Of the United States
| 1t is surely reasonable suggestion
on the part Of Secretary Lamont that,
since the states furnish the armories
and defray all the expenses incidental
to keeping their forces in training, the
United States should provide them
with the implements needed in active
operations. The supply on hand of
arms and field eqmiuentp vbkg cmbfw
arms and field equipment being totally
inadequate for serious and prolonged
servic, it is dangerous to leave matters
in their present shape and condition.
! To benefit the state forces without ma
terial increase of expense the score
tary renews some suggestions which
! he submitted to congress last year and
which were simply ignored But above
all, he urges an additional appropria-
ton, and this recommendation should
be needed. The present appropriation
| is ridiculously small and far below the
amount justified by the value of the
services of the state militia.

MARCH OF THE TROLLEY.

A Connecticut court has issued per-
manent injunction forbidding the COM
pletion of a trolley line between the
cities of Hartford and Great Britain
The contest has been pending for.
about two years, and the success of the
steam roads is likely to check the
growth Of suburban trolley lines in the
state. The decision rests chiefly upon
the consideration that trolley line~
paralle,ing steam roads can only be
permitted consistently with the rights
conferred by charter upon the latter
when public necessity or convenience
calls for the construction of the par
allel This view clearly throws upon
the trolley companies the burden of
proving that public necessity exists.
The controversy will be taken to the
next legislature, and those who SYM
pathize with the trolley movement will
probably constitute a majority Farm
ers living within few miles of cities
desire the extension of the trolley sys-
TEN, while the residents of the smaller
towns are almost unanimous in their
support Of the trolley side of the fight.
There are in fact, in operation in Con-
necticut several trolley lines closely
paralleling steam roads, and the recent
decision would seem to be equally ap-
pllcable to them. In western states
there is less restriction of trolley par
allels and less opposition ON the part
of the steam roads.

ALIEN LAND LAW.

The trouble caused by the anti-alien
land iaw Of Kansas recalls the fact
that Texas has had an instructive ex-
perience in that line of legislation. A
few years ago, under the administration
Of Governor Hogg, law very similar
to that Of Kansas was enacted with
very little opposition. Few foresaw
the consequences that were sure to fol-
low. Investments were withdrawn by
capitalists residing in the state as we'll
as by those residing abroad money be-
came tight and the rate of interest kept
on rising. Inquiry developed the fact
that the anti-alien land law was one
of the potent factors in driving out
capital and industry, and a movement
was started looking toward the repeal
Of the mischievous law The repeal of
the law became practical question in
the politics of the state, and a legis-
lature elected on this issue promptly
repealed it. 1t appears therefore, that
Kansas is not original in maintaining
such restriction and that a study of
its workings in a sister state would
show her what results she can antic-
ipate therefrom. Unfortunately, ex-
perience is not a guide which populist
statesmen care to follow.

ILLJCHOSEN ADAGE.
Avowal Not Calculated to Smooth the
Troubled Waters.

1t really was not Mr. Meekton's fault
that there was not peace in the family
He had done his best. After finding
that silence on his part had a tendency
to irritate his wife, who believed that
her remarks were not receiving their
due measure of attention, he agreed
with every suggestion that she offered
He was bound to please if there was
any way of accomplishing it. But he
was bad actor, and he overdid it.
80" she exclaimed, you've been
sitting there all this time saying yes
to everything I suggested simply be
cause you wanted to keep me good
natured?"
I'm sure, Henrietta, that's an en-
tirely laudable ambition on my part,
is it not?"
cit shows an namely innocuous dis
position"
Mr. Meekton edged over toward the
dictionary and said nothing.
Il do wish you'd exhibit some spir-
it!' she exclaimed in tone of mingled
fierceness and hopelessness.
"Td be very glad to-" was the re-
ply, in the gentlest of voices, eff it
would oblige you in the slightest. The
only difficulty is that I'd be sure to
select some occasion when you were
not in a mood for spirit And you
know it would be disappointing to go
to the trouble of showing spirit and
discover that, after all, the effort was
wasted and had failed to please"
There's a bold, uncompromising
nature for you" she exclaimed, look
ing straight through him into space.
There's the unflinching fortitude that
makes a hero combined with the intel
1ectual resource that constitutes the
born statesman
Il presume" said Mr. Meekton,
that you are joking now"
81 certainly was not in earnest"
81 thought you were joking. Ha,
har'
She glared at him for moment and
remarked.
There is one thing that always has
been and always will be mystery
to me-
What is it?"
How you ever got up the courage
to propose to me-"
81 suppose, Henrietta he answered,
after some reflection, that it was just
the old story"
What old story?"

tread Washington Star.

AN INDIAN WOOING

An old custom was revived by the
Nez Perces Indians and their visitors
during the celebration on the last
Fourth of July. The natives Of the
local tribe and very wealthy. and there
are designing mothers among the
aborigines as we'll as in the different
classes of civilized society. The young
bucks of the Nez Perces tribe are
regarded somewhat like the scions Of
royalty in matrimonial circles. The
maidens from all visitsng tribes were
brought to Lapwai to find husbands
The customs Of the tribes which were
revived for the occasion, were more
effective than the Boston mans ways.
The marriageable maidens were by
common accord quartered in selected
spot in the valley Of the Lapwai At
an appointed hour the young men who
wanted wives to share their annuities,
their homesteads and the affections Of
their hearts appeared in procession
on the hallowed camp ground. The
