WOMEN IN HoRT1cu1TuRE
They Are Successful Because They
Love Their Business

According to the ceHsus Of 1880 there
were 312 commercial greenhouses. or
about one in fifteen. owned and man
aged by women. We have a personal ac-
quaintance with several women who are
successful retail florists. Other women
to our knowledge are making q success
Of raising carnations and other flowers
for the wholesale trade. These people
soon learn that the business Of raising
and selling flowers is beset by much
care and labor that does not come un-
der the head of poetry. And vet nearly
all the women florists that we have met
were led into the business because they
first of all loved flowers. 1t addsto the
delight and success Of any occupation
IL one has a love therefor.
There IL no question that. as q rule,
women have greater fondness than
men for flowers. Why. therefore. should
they not engage in growing and hand
ling them for profit? The rougher work
about flower raising. such az the care
Of greenhouse furnaces, the handling
Of soil and manure, and the like. can
easily be done by men who work for
moderate wages. If women are success
full as florists they are equally so as
raisers Of vegetables and smaller fruits
especially strawberries; they direct the
rougher work. help to prepare the prod
uce for customers. and perhaps take
hand in the selling, thus keeping In
touch with the state of the market.
Generally speaking. we think that the
raising Of Strawberries near our best
markets is farther from being overdone
than that of almost any other kind of
produce. The consumption Is enormous
and fresh fruit, brought quickly from
the fields. without a large distance in
tervening, will always sell considerably
higher than fruit long from the vines
that has been shipped. Much Of the
work of picking and handling small
fruits is well suited to be done by wo-
men.-Vick's Magazine.

Better Than Moth Balls

furs remember that there are not
enough moth balls made to xii moth
eggs. unless you set fire to the whole lot.
What you must be careful to know is
that all the eggs are beaten out Of the
garments, then you can safely put the
things away with all the foul smelling

not bother the shest or trunk. II the

Home Made Stamping Made Indelible

Many persons prefer buying perfor-
ated patterns and powder and stamping
their own lines az they need them, but
complain that the powder rubs of so
easily. If the material to be stamped is
first slightly dampened and the pattern
Is then laid on and after that the goods
are held for few moments over a hot
stove or close to the face Of hot flatiron
until the powder dries, then there will be
no difficulty Of this kind.-New York

A KANSAN GOT IT.

Powell Clayton, who has just been
appointed minister TO Mexico, was first
known to fame as a Kansas boy. He
is a Pennsylvania by birth, but came
to Kansas in 1855, before he reached
his majority, where he remained
through the Free State struggle and up
to the breaking ont Of the war, when
he raised a company and entered the
army as captain. He rapidly rose in the
service, in the end being commissioned
brigadier general Much of his service
was in Arkansas and the southwest.
After the war, Clayton, Parsons and
other Kansas boys remained in Ar
kansas, which state they succeeded in
running for some time in spite Of its
overwhelming Democratic majority.
He became governor and then United
States senator, and in fact has been
continuously in office. we believe, ever
since he raised his Kansas company in
1851. lie is now 63 years old. He is
the oldest member of The United States
Republican central committee and has
been a delegate 10 every national Re
publican convention since the conyen-
ton which first nominated Grant in the
old Crosby Opera house in Chicago. 1t
is said that he was promised the AIexi-
can ambassadorship even before the
meeting of the St Louis convention.
The salary is $17,500 per year.

IT HAD THE REACH.

The Kansas City papers are stlll
ktewing over their feigned freight rate
determinations, and that, too, in face
of the findings of the United States su-
preme court TO the effect that the Mis-
souri, Traffic associations opeations are
In restraint of commerce. This Trans
Missouri Traffic association was organ
tzed in the interest of Kansas City,
practically. To the Eagle belongs the
honor of inspiring United States Attor-
ney Ady to bring the suit which has
inst been decided and which reverses
the lower federal courts. The facts, in
the form of petition, having been set
forth by Mr.. Ady. were submitted to
United States Attorney General Miller.
who unhesitatingly answered that the
combine was a plain violation OF the
Sherman law and constituted sufficient
cause for action, he at the some time
instucting Mr.. Ady to push the pro-
ceedings to a determination.
The decision, which appeared in our
telegraph dispatches on Tuesday morn
Ing. is sweeping, sustaining every point
Rverred by Ady. Common sense would
dictate that it is impossible for railroads
to enter an all-around agreement to
mutually sustain rates and at the same
time have competing rates.
The stock and bond market, as shown
by the Eagles reports from New York,
yesterday morning, was decidedly af-
fected by the decision. No action ever
taken by the interstate railway commits
sion has proved effective. That commits
sion itself is but combine, not In the
interest of competitive interstate com
nerce, but in the interest of poolings,
basing lines and arbitrary rates. OF
all the many cases brought before it or
brought by it, we do not recall single
one in which the shipper ever received
felief.
But this decision of the United States
supreme court is one of the most far
reaching and potent of any judicial
enUnciation of years. To the fearless
attitude of Judge Ady, no longer a citi-
zen of the state, 10 his painstaking re-
search and his clear discernment and
sound understanding, is due this ti-
umph over trusts in general and over
the Missouri Traffic association in par
ticUilar. In face of the greatest obsta-
cles and discouragements he not only
mace up his case but submitted the
brief which has convinced a majority of
The United States supreme court in
spite Of the findings of the federal
judges who had passed upon it.
