NEW YORK LANDLORDS.
Let Their Houses Remain Vacant Will
Demanding High Rentals.

Let Their Houses Remain Vacant While
Demanding High Rentals.
A newcomer who has been looking
for a home nest large enough to accom-
modate out of town furniture remarked
today: whats the matter with rents
in this town anyway? l see thousands
of flats and offices tenantless, but as
most of them are beyond my means I'm
curious to know why the landlords
don't come down peg or two and give
poor fellow chance to locate within
reasonable reach of his business. And
SO are others. A friend of mine up in
Harlem is one of three occupants of a
flat house built for ten. The seven apart
ments have been empty year, but the
agent refuses to lower the rent when
any one Of the three threatens to change
his address, nor will he scale down the
monthly figure In order to fill the va
cant and proftless rooms. And this
ISM a solitary case of this sort, by any
means. Another real estate agent has
been holding row of fine flats for
nearly three years because nobody feels
like squandering $1,000 on any one OF
them. If he had knocked off $500, be
could have rented every one of them.
just why the metropolitan landlord
prefers loss to gain is one of the secrets
of the real estate business that outsid
ers can only juggle with mentally.
Another peculiar feature of the bust
ness is the way in which the tenants
who can put up good bluff manage tC
enjoy all the comforts of an up to date
home without paying scarcely anything
for the privilege. know one man here
who doesn't pay over 5000 a year for 6
5000 flat. He got behind in his rent,
and then he jollied the janitor, who die
the collecting. The janitor, in turn,
smoothed down the landlord, and as 6
result the tenant got in deeper and deep
er. Now he pays months rent once
in while and puts up such bold front
that he gets receipt on his promises
In the same house is another tenant
who pays 500 month, but he shuts VI
| his apartments for two months every
| summer and goes seward. He fatty re-
fuses to pay rent while doing the grand
and the landlord hasn't as yet done 6
thing to him. Still another high fiiel
puts up $50 month for the pick of the
| premises. He's in about four months
now, but as yet care hasn't carved any
wrinkles on his broad brow All Of
which leads to the conclusion that rents
are high here in order to cover losses Of
the sort oited.-New York Letter IL

Grading Plants.

A writer in The Country Gentleman
calls attention to detail worth giving
attention to in pricking out plants
that is, careful grading to size;
A box of Seeding plants is exactly
like a field of corn during the first
month. There will be great difference
in size and vigor of plants Part is no
doubt owing to environment and vary
ing fertility of soil, but much, think,
is from extra vigor of certain seeds,
which if we could trace back to their
origin would be found better bred than
the others.
Whatever the reason, find it pays
to grade the plants carefully and put
each grade in separate fats. Cabbage
and tomato plants keep up the differ
ence i'll earliness, however it may be in
yield, the large, strong plants at prick
ing out time being often two weeks
earlier in results than weakly ones from
the same fiat. Last year, although my
soil was all quite rich and mixed care
fully so as to make it of uniform excel
lence, the difference in size of plants
three weeks from the coming up of the
seed was SO great that of 5000 plants
potted in az inch pots nearly 500 Of
the strongest, and as a result scarcely a
dozen in the whole number failed tc
furnish fine heads, while the rest ON the
same ground planted the following day
had about 10 per cent of small or de-
fective heads. 1t was not altogether in
the potting either, for had about so Of
u smaller grade in pots also, and they
averaged but a shade better than The
same grade in flats.

A Ticklish Question.

G. M. writes to The Journal: "Should
you say, i made him cough SIS, or ]
made him cough up $5?'
This is ticklish question. Unfor-
tunately the slang dictionaries, even
Farmer and Henley's, do not know the
slang phrase. Nor is there any allusion
to it in the great Oxford dictionary.
Three centuries ago there was phrase
"to cough (any one) daw, fool, nome, u
meaning "to make fool Of, also etc
prove oneself fool, +" but this "cough'
may have been the obsolete verb cough
or "coff," to purchase, acquire, get.
And five centuries ago "to cough" also
meant "to utter, " 'to disclose" as in
this sentence, "To make her confess the
things testified against her, and also tc
cough out the rest.
We do not find anywhere allusion to
this modern slang We ourselves regard
cough up as the proper expression,
and we use it when we are moving in
the first and gilded circles. Boston

MAKE THE MEN MARKET.
A Woman Writer'S Bold Suggestion to
Help Weary Wives.

A Woman Writer'S Bold Suggestion to
Help Weary Wives.
There are few things that exhaust a
woman more than a days shopping.
The average man looks upon woman g
purchasing day. as one of pleasure,
but when he accompanies her on one Of
these shopping expeditions he goes
home, after his patience has been all ex-
hausted, with different belief. He
learns, too, that woman can endure
vexations and disappointments with
much more equanimity than he can.
and he mentally vows never to do it
again.
The number of miles traversed is
really what tires one, and it is little
wonder that the woman who does the
shopping for herself and her entire fam
lily, as we'll as the marketing and the
bargaining with the butcher and bak-
er and candlestiok maker" should feel
the need of rest for her tired nerves.
The man of the house should always
do the marketing. In the old days,

or troubled with the worries Of house
hold purchasing, for the head of the
house did the entire buying, and
James carried the parcels and was
not ashamed to do it.
No mother who has the care of little
children should give the precious morn
ing hours to anything else but the
nursery, nor should she let butchers
and grocers' boys call for and deliver
orders, because there is sure to be dis
satisfaction if she does. Some wealthy
families allow their chef to take charge
of the household, and he collects large
percentage from the tradesmen, which,
of course, is added to the monthly bill.
Reputable storekeepers will not do this
kind of business, however, and the chef
patronage" is controlled entirely by 8
few men. On the whole, it is much
more satisfactory for the man of the
house to do the marketing. He will gel
the best meat, have his orders promptly
attended to and save about % per cent
in the transaction. as we'll as the health

TESTS OF PEAS.
Some of the Newer Varieties Reported Up
ou--Tha Abundance Pea

Some of the Newer Varieties Reported Up
on--The Abundance Pea.
Newcomers in peas were tried last
year on its own grounds by The Rural
New Yorker. which now makes re-
port upon them There was introduced
last year the pea 1897, or Prospect
ty, and this year pea is offered as
Gradus, which is thought by some to
be the same. Concerning 1897 The New
Yorker says:
BY whatever name it may be called,
it, in our opinion, combines more nearly
all the desirable qualities of the wrin-
killed. peas with the earliness of the first
earlies of any variety at present in the
market. The claims made for the
1897 were essen TALLY these: "The
vines grow az feet high; the foliage
large and vigorous The pods are as
large as those of Telephone, produced
in great abundance and we'll filed with
from six to eight peas of the best quail
ty and of the largest size. These peas
are ready for the table but three days
later than the best of the first earlies. y
Our seeds were planted April 5, or four
days after the Surprise, Motifs Excelsior
and Triple X. June IL the vines were
nearly three feet high, leaves large and
of light green color, stems of medium
size. At this time the pods averaged
81 inches long and nearly an inch
broad The pods were nearly straight,
holding an average of six large seeds.
The vines were very productive.
The first picking was June IA as
against Surprise June Z, which We're
planted four days earlier, showing the
1897 to be but three days later. The
vines were later noted as "yellowish
green, very productive. Eaten June
IA, they were judged to be "best" in
quality, sweet and tender-the color,
when cooked. being of lively, bright
green From this trial the 1892 is
two days earlier than Motifs Excelsior.
Later, pods grow to larger sleeper
haps half an inch. Prosperity, 1897
and Gradus, assuming that they are the
same, originated with Thomas Laxton
Of England. 1t has been tried for four
years in this country. Mr.. Burpee, who
has tried the Gradus pea, says this of
it 1t is the earliest large podded pea in
cultivation, while the peas are of most
superior quality, both in size and deli
cious flavor.
On the Abundance pea the report is !:
Planted April 1; first picking, June al /;
vines branching, extra vigorous, y to
. feet high; large leaves; very produc-
tive; pods often in pairs, 8 inches long,
five to eight seeds crowded in the pod.
This was first tried at the Rural grounds
during the season of 1884. We regarded
it then very close to the Yorkshire Hero.
The seed was sown then April z, and
the first picking was June 25. The
vines grew to % to 2 feet in height,
often 20 pods to vine; pods small,
borne in pairs; seeds large, averaging
five to pod. Fifty pods weighed ~
ounces, contained 252 seeds which
weighed AZ ounces. The Abundance of
today is much like the Abundance of IA
years ago.
