limited variety this season that the
most exacting dress reformers are
catered to as we'll as the woman who

latter there has been recently intro
duced a little coat so chic that it is
positively irresistible.
AS the season grows older there
seems to have sprung up a formula bic
rivalry between blue and green, and
consequently a struggle for the SUI

early yet to declare which will come
out ahead, but just now blue is in the
ascendency- Probably the desirable eff

the white and gold black and gold

A visit to the dahlia farm of H. T.
Burt of Taunton, Mass, must be a rev.
elation to any save a commercial
grower or an enthusiastic, up-to-date
fancier of the flower. The dahlia has
had its ups and downs of popularity
but since that general fever of entha.
siasm when the European gardeners
had at last succeeded in semi-doubling
and doubling the new conner from
Mexico, garden lovers, true flower
devotees, have mostly been cold, when
they were not hostile, to the florists
flower, the big, top-heavy round-upon-
round of petals duted and quilted with
depressing uniformity. Even its
velvet surface, its superb tinting its
fantastic freakishness of color COM
binations, even the pictorial helpful
ness of the plant in the garden scheme
and even that strongest argument, its
long season of bloom, rising to its
greatest splendor after the autumn
rains, failed to win it any warmth of
appreciation. That came first from
artistic, discerning flower lovers to the
single dahlia, when modern taste and
feeling began to insist upon their
restoration to their true place in the
garden.
But that appreciation has persistent
~ remained "caviare to the general
and the dahlia in any form, so infre
euently and scanti1y appears in the
ordinary gardens that a farm devoted
to its culture seems as if it must be
an indulgence to the craze of a wholly
monumental specialist. But Mr..
Burt's seven acres of dahlias mean
business and as, beginning with
single plant, he has gone on to the
1000 varieties that crowd these acres
and has been a dozen years in the
work, it is plain that dahlias have
standing and future. All kinds there
have been, but the addition of the cac
tus form to the single, great double

pie, but the variations upon these

shape, curve and fimbriation of petal,

growth of the plant, seem endless to

PR OS PEC TO r
IN ROCK XES.&

The prospector is the adventurer of
the Rockies, says a writer in Ainslee's
Magazine. From the moment he starts
upon his career in the mountains, 1eav-
ing behind him the collection of color
less and wind-beatvn shanties, known
as 1.-The city, adventures greet him
at every turn. AS he picks his way
through a wilderness of rocks and
fallen trees, having left the meager
trail far behind, ever on the lookout
for a faint sign of the outcropping of
the precious metal, his passage is al
most sure to be disputed by wild
beasts. But what an excitement there
is in seeking for gold! 1t is stronger
and more intense than that of the
gambler at the green table, stalking
his last dollar on the turn of a card.
The prospector may be penniless, he
may have put his last cent into the
grub that is now fastened onto the
back of his burro; yet one stroke of
his pick is likely to uncover treasure
that will transform him into a mil
lionaire. He sits down to a meager
meal, cooked over rude fire between
a few stones. but all the time fees
about him the presence of gold. Per-
haps his fire is built on the end of a
ledge that is "chockful" of gold; per-
haps he is sitting on rich outcropping
that is simply covered with small
stones, perhaps there is gold beneath
the big tree just across the ravine-
Gold may be everywhere, if he can
only find it He must find it. Surely
his luck is not less than other mems
And so he goes on, scaling the loftiest
peaks where snow lies all the year
round, and even his heavy blankets

rows of single dahlias growing with a
freedom and decorative grace vouch-
sailed no other variety
As for that latest addition to~dahIia
varieties, the cactus, even the most
passionate devotees of the single form
must acknowledge the SURPRISING
beauty of the newcomer. 1t is to the
old double forms what the japanese
chrysanthemum was to the few formal
Chinese varieties that were our earl-
est acquaintance-a contribution of
airy, irregular grace and elegance. The
petals are longer and lighter looking
and the color oftenest yellow, but oc-
casionally a reddish purple adds great
ly to the effectiveness of the flower
According to Mr.. Burt the dahlia
is of the easiest culture. The same
treatment that will produce an abund-
ant crop of potatoes-light, air, room.
a thoroughly pulverized soil filed with
food-will produce an abundant crop
of dahlias, bloom and tubers, though
not all varieties are. of equal constitu-
tiona1 vigor. Some lavish producers
of the choicest flowers are meager
root makers. To secure fairly uni
form size among his mailing stock Mr..
Burt grades his varieties according to
their characteristics, giving those deli
cate the heaviest application of fer
tilizer rich in potash. He uses both
barnyard and commercial fertilizers,
the dahlia fields are plowed and cross
plowed, the tubers are planted in rows
precisely like potatoes, and after the
young plants pierce the ground the
cultivator is kept going until their
lusty growth forbids- Happily, with
the dahlia there are no insects to fight,
but the flower is very sensitive Ito
frost. Mr. Burt constantly increases
his collection with the choicest of ma
tive and foreign novelties, the best
coming from England, where. strange
ly, climatic conditions seem to suit

the month when the dahlia is at its
best in this country, but this year Mr.
Burt's fields were IN their fullest
glory in October.

a French sea song worthy the Manner
We are told of the earlier composers
But: I'VE possessed no, real national

death miles and miles away from any

found. He disappears as completely
as last winters snow. But should the
prospector strike it rich his adventures

and go to digging, concealing what
gold he takes out in a place secret to

it all the time, for covetous miners
who are not SO fortunate would not
hesitate to take his life if they could
get possession of his little pile of yell

The committee on ways and means

which will be to reduce the yearly rev
enues OF the government to the extent
of about $50, 900, 600. This viii be done
by abolishing a number of stamp
taxes, including those on kilograms,
express receipts and real estate tran
sactions.
The general government risks moth
ing by surrendering the revenue
which these taxes produce. Unless the
business situation should change for
the worse materially there will be an
excess of receipts over expenditures
for the next fiscal year. Furthermore,
there is ON hand a, surplus of $3.50 ,OOo,-
600. That is ample to cover expenses
yet to be met on account of the re-
funding of bonds and any immediate
expenses incident to the Nicaraguan
canal if congress should pass bill for
the construction of one during the
short session.
