STICKING DUTY ON SUGAR.
Netherlands Product Will Have to Pay
at the Ports.

Washington, December 1.-The secretary
of the treasury today decided that the
Netherlands government pays bounty on
all raw and refined sugars exported from
that country, and hence. under the new
tariff act, all sugars from the Netherlands
entering the United States is subject to
discriminating duty equal to the export
bounty paid The exact rate OF TINS coun-
tervailing duty has not yet been DEFINITELY
aScertained but it is said it Will approach
As cents per hundred pounds on raw sugar
and slight advance on these flgureS on
refined.
1t Is known that the secretary has also
come to the conclusion that the belgian
government pays an expert bounty on
sugar and a decision to this effect may
be expected in a short time.
The additional duties VIII apply rom
September 22d, last, the date of the circular
irStructing collectors to suspend lqudaton
OF these sugar entries pending d final de-
termination of the question. The amount
of raw sugar imported from the Neither

the plants should be picked within half
an hour of meal time.
Salad plants must also be tender,
brittle and succulent; hence. very rich
ground. plenty of water. and thorough
culture are necessary. as very rapid
growth is essential to good results.
Probably the best salad plants for
general culture in this country are gar
den cress, white mustard and corn
salad. in the order named. Garden
cress and white mustard are often
grown together in very large quantities
for the market of London; and when
served together they form the most
popular English salad dish. 1t is said
that some of the London market gar
deners use as much as 500 pounds of
garden cress seed in a single season.
Garden cress may be grown in any
SOIL at any season, between severe
frosts, and will give plants fit for the
salad bowl within three or four weeks.
AS il runs to seed quickly, successional
sowings are necessary, at intervals of
ten to II days. In the hottest season,
garden cress should be grown in half
shady places. In winter ii may be
grown in greenhouse. hotbed. or a
sunny window, in boxes. Cress is ready
to eat when the leaves are three inches
long.
Garden cress has a fresh, pungent.
appetising than radishes or lettuce, and
it is more crisp than most salad plants.
The finely fringed leaves resemble
parsley. and make pretty furnishings
for meat dishes. French seedmen
quote five varieties of garden cress. but
American seed catalogues name but
one.
Upland cress and water cress are of
different family of plants and are
both inferior to garden cress. though
they find ready sale, and may be grown
for home use for variety's sake.
White mustard is more generally
grown and known than garden cress.
and stands next to cress in merit. The
two make a good mixture. Like creSS,
1t is sufficiently hardy to bear some
frost without injury.
Corn salad is less generally known
than either cress or mustard. but it is
an excellent salad plant, though so
mild as TO be almost insipid. Still, it is
better than lettuce. 1t will stand con-
siderable freezing. and may be sown in
the fall. even in northern ATTITUDES.
OF lettuce, Trianon is the best vari-
ETY. for salads.
Endive is sometimes served raw as
a salad, but most people consider l.
too bitter.
Chicory is quite popular as salad
plant in France, but Che Vermont sta
ton people do not think highly of it.
For boiled salads. or green's, Swiss
chard or shpinach take the lead. Swiss
chard is a species of beet that runs to
top instead of root. having enormous
mid-ribs in the leaves which are very
crisp and tender. These mid-ribs are
served separately, on toast, or like as
paragus.

"GISMONDA"-Fanny Davenport is as
certainly the great. overtowering Ameri-
| can producer of plays as Henry Irving
/ is the English. No American manager
ever dreams of mounting plays with the
sumptuous magniiicence that this actress
studies to attain, and the lavish way in
which she spends money to carry out her
ideals is as astonishing as II IS hattering
to her audiences Last night saw an
other triumph in the way of production,
added to the many which had been given
us at Miss Davenports hands The audi
ence for the first time reached the Old
time PROPORTIONS and nearly every seat
in every part of the house was occupied.
''Gismonda" was followed with the
speaks louder than noisy applause can
do, though at the climax enthusiasm
was by no means lacking. As play.
while it hardly ranks in conception with
La Tosca" or Cleopatra IL is bold,
powerful and original with a superb
picturesqueness in all its sittings that
accorded admirably with the theme. 1t
is also most SardoueSCue in its sugges-
tiveness and one or two episodes are
almost startling in their glaring holiness.
In the central role Miss Davenport finds
a rare character for the portrayal or the
imperial qualities IN Whlch she SHINES;
her acting was admirable where she
stimulates terror at the fate OF her bov
when he IS thrown into the tigers den;
and her strength was not less marked
when she kills the villain with the axe.
and where she makes confession of the
deed a the close. In her long career as
an actress Il IS doubtful whether Miss
Davenport has ever worn more bewilder-
ingly regal garments than those in
which she was attired last evening. They
were triUmphs of the costumers art
Scarcely second TO her was Ny Nc
Dowen and the audience applauded him
as vigorously as it did his wife. The
scenery in color, in wealth and in COM
pleteness has never been excelled even
by Miss Davenport herself; every one of
the five acts was masterpiece of the
scene painters skill, the eliminating fea-
ture being the wonderful reproduction of
the interior of a cathedral in the last
act in which a choir. voices. grand
organ specially built for this play, boys
swinging censors that made the whole
auditorium fragrant, q procession carry
ing beautiful palms. all were seen and
heard. and that with a faithfulness and
a richness little short of astonishing. The
big list of characters in the support were
ali strongly portrayed the Zaccario of
Mr.. Elwood being the best instance of
the acting. The singing was most i'm
pressive. but the voices ran off the key
once or twice by getting too far from
the organ.

capacity of the hose for the remainder
of the engagement which terminates

the improved variety is of great value /
grow the improved white French This
variety is grown largely in France for
domestic use as well as for stock Some
time ago they were introduced into this
country and close cultivation has proven
them to be d sure and profitable crop for
this country.
I have been experimenting with them
for over five years in the way of cultivat-
ing, harvesting, feeding and keeping over
winter. They are very profitable, because
no insect blight or rust has yet struck
them. and the tops make fodder su-
perior to. corn when properly handled.
l find keeping them through winter is a
difficult thing to do without having them
spoil, unless person understands it, l
will now give my method
l pick out a dry spot and dig a pit
not over ten inches deep and about five
feet wide and as long as convenient. Then
pile the tubers up to peak. putting on
a shallow layer of straw and not over
five inches of dirt. If mere dirt is put on
they will surely heat and spoil and if
they freeze solid 1t will not injure the
growing or feeding qualities; IL makes
them sweeter and better. 1 will now
bring this to q close. trusting that these
few lines will be of some benefit TO the
readers.
