BETTER CAR SERVICE.
South Worcester and ouinsiqamond
Residents Feel Neglected.

south Worcester residents have
amended their appeal for better car SER
vice. James F. Timon said yesterday
that ne intends to see the officers of the
Consolidated Street. Railway Co. and
ask for better car service on SUNDAYS
at least. Travel over the South Wor-
.eester line is exceptionally heavy on
that day, and 10 minute time is wanted
by South W5rcesterites on that day.
Quinsigamond is lifting its voice for
better car service. Residents of that vii
lage claim that too many bob-tails are
run over that line. The Quinsigamond
Improvement society does not relish the
idea Of ancient cars being pressed into
service on the Quinsigamond line. OFF
Gals Of the road claim that the bobtail
cars are simply extras. and that the
public should appreciate the better car
service afforded by the running of bob
tails

Then many of the farmers went back to corn and wheat and now things have settled down to & basis that pays well enough, but does not make rich men. The cost of raising an acre of sunfoWers is very much less than the cost of an acre of wheat or corn, and the crop is much more certain. Lawrenceville is the great sunflower-seed market of the world, but small quantities, compara- lively, are bought at Bridgeport, St Francisville, Sumner, Birds and others of the smaller towns in the county, each station sending out several carloads in year. The crop of 1899 is now being threshed and sent to market and will aggregate about 5,O0O,OO0 pounds. What the world does with this quantity of sunf1ower seed the growers do not know, but the mystery surrounding it's dispo- sition suggests that it is used as an adulterant.

THE PINEH URST TEAS.
What Has Been Done and What May he
 Done.

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier: The experimentation at "Pinehurst, " Summerville, South Carolina, on the growth and manufacture of tea began about ten years ago. At the commence ment it was wisely on a small scale, but has been gradually increased until now
 over fifty acres have been planted in tea. When the plants arrive at full
 bearing the yield should be at least
 10000 pounds of high-grade tea; and this
 should suffice for the object in view,
 viz, to determine whether commercial
 tea may be proftably grown under the
 local conditions of soil, climate and la
 Dor.
 The annual output of (dry) tea has
 steadily increased from a few pounds
 to about 3,600 pounds this season, and
 it is no assumption to believe that the
 crop of 1899 should have reached 5000 pounds had it not been for the phenom-
 enal freeze of February 14 last, the
 greatest cold in at least 150 years.
 It was desirable to conduct the exper- iments with as many varieties of seed and under as different conditions of soil and location as possible It was from the outset expected that many of these attempts would prove either partially or wholly unsuccessful. The constant purpose and hope were to find from all of the data obtained some one way, readily accessible to all, by the employ ment of one or more sorts of seed and under conditions readily initiated, whereby tea may be profitably grown and manufactured in this section. This ed by the report on the Rose tea garden last autumn, already referred to in your issue of the 2d inst, but which was represented as being that of the entire estate Results almost equally gratify- ing have been obtained at other Pine hurst tea gardens, notably that called South Fraser" This garden contains slightly more than two acres of tea plants, set out at AKA feet distances. It was plant with seed procured in 1892 the United States State and departments and the kind ness of John Fowler, Esq, United States Consul at Ningpo, China. The seed came from a celebrated garden near Hangchow, the capital of the prov- ince of Chekiang, called Loong Tsin, or Pool. MT Fowler wrote that the seed was of the 'very best" sort. the tea made from it he also stated: Tt has no market name for the reason that it is not sold outside of |

THE EST PLACE,

Both the aldermen and the council men have adhered to their former ac- tion in declaring that the place for the new flagpole is where the old one was, right in the center of the band-stand. We think they are right. If anything is to be moved let it be the bandstand. The f1agpole belongs there. It was there before the band-stand was, and there are many who hope to see flagpole there when the band-stand has gone the way of the Grecian ruin that used to adorn the upper Green and serve as a playground for the moonbeams. Now that the place has been settled upon let there be no delay in inserting the pole. The glorious Indian summer in this re- zion has been marred by the fact that the flag of the free hasn't been floating in the golden air over the Green. It should float again there as soon as pos sible.

vanity? Savages decorated themselves with feathers and scalps; ought not you to be many grades above the savage? Show, then, your civilization, your humanity your Christianity, if you profess any, by refusing to decorate yourself with the wings or the plumage of any bird.
 There ought to be a general and ef- fective protest against the slaughter of the gulls, but probably there will not be- Many women will think that the gulls cannot die better than to die for the decoration of beauty. As things are, perhaps the friends of the guls ought to be content with the cheering fact that it isn't the fashion just now to decorate hats or belts with human scalps.

4 RICE.

At last. Yesterday there was yacht race, and glory be unto United States pluck and skill it was just the kind of race the people of this country have been waiting and hoping for. Colum- bia showed herself to be indeed the gem of the ocean and unless something very unlucky and very unexpected happens in the other races the cup will stay where it has been so long.
 The account of the race shows that 1t was well sailed by both yachts. Those who have been so sharply criticising the management of the Columbia will feel smaller than they have felt lately. It is evident that no more experts were needed to help her win, and even the yellow dog mascot didn't do any harm AIS well that ends well, and now that the first race has ended so gloriously there will be more faith than there has been in the management and the quality of the Columbia There didn't seem to be anything the matter with her or with her management yes- terday.

All the shades are very delicate and in the general scheme Is field for all sorts of taste to display themselves. A dash of black velvet at the waist or on the edge of some of the under frills sometimes lend character to the cloudiness of color.
 Distaste for these color combinati tions no matter how pronounced 1t IS, should not prejudice against the use of solid greens for dress materials They are stylish, and all the shades from very light to very dark are used without evil dence of especial preference for any one shade. Green is used, also, for the two tone-cloth gowns that are a pleas ing fancy of the moment. Handsome costumes result from this choice, but the experimenter in this direction needs have care for some of the greens that mate well according to current. stan dards play awful tricks with the com plexion.

 This garden is remarkably thrifty. MT William Saunders, the Horticultur- ist of the United States Department of Agriculture, saw in 1t "a tea garden of perfect cultivation" The bushes are thick of globuar form and compara- lively low growth. There are exception ally few vacancies in the garden The leaf is generally rather small and ten der; it is well adapted for the manu- fracture of either green or black trees although tea experts favor the latter product,
 The annual yield of (dry) tea has steadily advanced from eighty-four pounds in 1894 to nearly 800 pounds this season. What the limit to this increase may be it is obviously impossible to foretell. Already the production per acre is very considerably beyond the average Chinese crop.
 It is on results such as those given for the Rose and South Fraser tea gar dens that we base our hopes of ulti- mately convincing the American people of the possibility of establishing prof. itable industry in tea within our own borders.

FINE .FEATHERS

In anticipation of large demand for wings and breasts of gulls an agent of great millinery house went in August to Bar Harbor, Maine, and engaged all the Indians near there to shoot these pretty and useful seabirds. "We will buy ali you can shoot in the next four years," is said to have been this agents promise to the gunners. At all the leading points along the coast this agent went engaging men and boys in this work.
 Of course lovely woman must con- tinue to be lovely, and perhaps she cannot look quite as lovely as she wants to without the feathers of lgulls. But some think that she ought to be willing to sacrifice a little something in order to maintain her reputation for tender ness. The Boston Transcript makes thiS appeal to her. How is 1t possible that women with the smallest spark of humanity, to say nothing of Chris tianlty, can encourage this barbarian by wearing the plumage of the slaugh- tered birds! There is not the excuse that the birds are needed for food. There is absolutely no excuse, and no reason but vanity-a love for decora- ton that costs the life of happy, living creatures. Will not any woman who hears of this exterminating process re- fuse to wear these wings and breasts? Do you want to help on this useless and wicked sacrifice of life for mere

 That the boy king of Spain is a keen observer, and at the same time pretty much like other boys in one particular, appears from an anecdote of him rela- ted by friend of his French tutor. During one of the recent tremendously hot Madrid days the tutor dictated to his exalted pupil an exercise in which occurred the phrase "She possessed in the highest degree the distinguished manners and the grace of speech innate in royal princesses." "The man who wrote that" remarked the king, "nev- CT lived at court; that's certain. '" What makes you think SOP" demand ed the astonished tutor. why, just look," returned the king, Hook at these royal princesses, look at their distin- guished manners" pointing to his two sisters, who happened to be in the room.
