was taken To the State House where
in company with Chairman &. s. HIGH
born and other members Of the com
mittee and Col. Stevens. the ground
was looked over. The natural adVan-
tageS are SO great that Mr.. Blaisdell
has not the slightest doubt that the
spot can be made one of the most
beautiful in the State.
Several conferences were held. dur
ing the day. and as the result work
Will be commenced at once to draw
plans for developing the natural adj
vantages. These plans Will be returned
70 the committee and COL Stevens for
acceptance. and what work is done
Will be carried out On those lines
As has been stated it is the purpose
of the park commission and Col. Stev-
ems, who are to act jointly in making
the grounds beautiful. TO do all the
work with a definite plan in mind, and
that plan will be after the design fur
nished by the landscape artist 1t is
not expected that great deal Will be
done. each year. but it is the idea to
work after a fixed plan so that when
each year is ended SO much more
toward the completion of the plan will
have been accomplished.

This is the season Of the year when
all the lovers Of plants and flowers arc

their lawns and door yards may be

nature may be started. even now.
From a recent chat with c. a. Leigh

tanned many hints that will prove of
use to amateur gardeners.
The first thing the ladies think of
are sweet peas, said Mr.. Leighton. My
experience has shown me that the pres
ent time is the best for planting sweet
peas if the best and most satisfactory
results are to be obtained l always

first week in May"
Next, comes the setting out of the
pansies. Now there seems to be a gen.
eral idea that parsies should be grown
in the shade, but as an actual fact the
best results are obtained if they are
set out in a sunny open place. provid-

many people advise that they be grown
in some shady spot, but it is a mistake.
If the owners of flowerbeds will try the
sun for their pansies and do not let
them get too dry they will notice a
pleasing Improvement.

In similar manner a distinction is

ried woman is regarded as a house
keeper. whether she is the wife or
simply servant. The enumerators
are warned that housekeepar is to be
considered only as a person who works

1.-TWO Politicians"

One of the first things done by a
stranger visiting Albany. says the
Philadelphia Call is to pay 20 cents
and put himself at the mercy of a
capitol guide.
The guide makes a profound and
obsequlous bow, like a prestidlgltator
about to charm an audience. and pro-
ceeds TO lift the veil which hides the
mysteries of the great building.
On n recent occasion the guide led a
stranger regretfully past "McGinty's"
empty frame and proceeded to ideuti-
fy the heads of notables that decorate
the stairway. He did fairly well until
the stranger pointed out Shakespeare
and Homer and asked who they were.
"Them," replied the guide. undaunt-
ed, "are the heads Of two politicians
whose names | disremember."
