Pr0ceedings of Horticultural Society.
 The annual meeting of the State Her ticultaral society, held at Little Rocl, last week, was well attended. Some l interesting papers were read, and the members expressed much qualification at the progress being made by the hor- ticulturists of this state in demonstrate ing to the world the many advantages of our soil for those engaged in fruit growing of almost every known vari- ety. The following legislation Wa recommended to the general assembly: That the sum of s2,0oO be appropriated for the purpose of having the proceed ings of the State Horticultural Society printed and distributed throughout the state that some provisions be made 10 prevent the introduction and spread of the San Jose scale, peach mellow and other contagious fruit diseases A to the proposition to abolish the office of commissioner of agriculture, the fol- owing WIS adopted as he sentiment of 5Ee association: That the state Hor- Ge3itasal Society deplores the proposed abalishnent of the bureau of mines, manufacturers and agriculture and dep reeates that any condition of past or present conduct of that institution shoald .nduee such vigorous treatment of the only department instituted for the benefit Of the tillers of the soil.
 
 We Indulge the hope that if the pres. ent methods of it's conduct are unsatis- factory that some other system of ad- miE.stratian may be adopted to perpet= nate the department as k now being done n numerous other states After the election of the following officers. the society adjourned. sine die.

Co-opernti,e Living.

The problem of how the bachelor girl
or the unattached woman OF any age
shall live and move and have her being
is one of those which remains to he set
tied. For the business woman on Il
good salary the average boarding house
has no attractions, but the first class
boarding house charges such eXOrbi-
tant prices for what is received that
She rebels.
\ woman's hotel such as has been
tried in Boston and New York a { mod
crate prices would meet the demand of
many. but there is a certain class of
women, special teachers, professional
women and business women holding
responsible and lucrative positions, who
desire more of the privacy OF home
life than is afforded in such a place.
For such women cooperative house
keeping offers perhaps the most feast
BILE solution. In this manner two or
more women may secure independence
and comfort at moderate expenditure.
Those who have tried it assert that
the cooperative plan. with the compan-
ionShip of two or more congenial wo-
men companions. has broadening eff
feet on each and that the individual
expenditure is small compared with
the comforts obtained and with the
price paid for less comfortable quarters
at boarding house or hotel.-Providence
