NEW CUBAN GOVERNMENT
Can Hardly BE Organized Before
February 1-Change Will Involve
Little Difficulty.

WASHINGTON. June 15.-It is now
learned that when the Cuban commits
sion was in Washington the delegates
informed Secretary Root that they did
not think it would be possible to have
the Cuban government organized before
February 1. owing to the fact that GER
tain procedures must be had under
their new constitution.
The opinion is expressed at the War
Department that there will be little or
no difficulty in effecting a change from
American military control to Cuban
civil control. The civil service which
Gen. Wood has organized is largely
composed of Cubans, and it is believed
that the new government will utilize
this machinery.

Kings Bastion-Britisa Landmark

The history Of England has at times
crystalized round Portsmouth. as it is
apt to crystalize round a great naval
and military centre. For centuries this
town was the very centre of all mill
tary enterprises in England, and note
worthy events seem to have crowded
themselves in this little spot where
the Kings Bastion" stands. For the
military historian no place is SO redo
lent of great deeds, no place SO gilt
ters with clear and definite memories.
The very names of the great men of
action who have stood on this spot
would fill the page; the account of
their efforts, their victories and their
failures, would fill volume It is,
therefore, no mere local interest which
demands the preservation Of these an
cient works. but a national interest. A

The Extent of Fame.

A prophet is not always without hon.
or in his own country The following
story, which has filtered through from
Norfolk, illustrates this comforting
truth. At one of his meetings the
Liberal candidate denounced Mr..
Chamberlain and all his works. After
1t was all over village worthy was
asked what he thought of the speech.
Shaking his head gravely, he intimated
his disapproval of the attack on Mr..
Chamberlain, "him being only dead
three weeks, and me sitting aside Of
his son all the time.'' 1t was quite
clear to him that the orator had been
crlticising local celebrity bearing the
same name as the colonial secretary.
OF whom he had apparently never
heard. This is indeed Famev, as
Dlsraeli is said to have murmured
when Informed by an obscure member
OF his party that he had no time To
waste on novel reading himself, bu,
that his young ladies at home had OBJ
tanned that statesman's novels from
the circulating library, and greatly ad.
mlred them.-ArgOnaut.

never had any trouble in renting

house has been to place about half a

CITY OF ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS.
Everybody in Sebnitz Interested in Max
ing False Blossoms.

Everybody in Sebnitz Interested in Maxi
ing False Blossoms.
OF the millions of artificial flowers
used by American milliners, at least
two thirds come from the little Saxon
town of Sebnitz Sebnitz is a youth
fui town. founded only fifty years ago.
AS a result all the buildings are mod
ern, from the large and thoroughly.
equipped artificial flower factories to
the hotels and residences.
Sebnitz has a population of 10000.
1t is estimated that $500 of this num-
Der make their living from the manu-
facture of flowers.
The town has grown rich out of the
industry, and it's fame has spread
abroad throughout the world. 1t was
not long ago that Paris designed and
made the bulk of the artificial flow
ers, but that time has passed, the Seb-
nitz manufacturers having almost mo-
nopolized the trade. So jealous have
| the French become of these people that
! they have even gone to the length OF
refusing to display their goods in Paris
4
| facturers are wont to visit there. for
fear they may appropriate the designs.
But this doesn't worry the Sebnitz
men. who are now able to make de-
signs and set the styles themselves.
| The flower industry has made the
place famous. although American buy
| ers have only known the place fol
| twenty years, and it is only in very
recent years that the business has as
sumed large proportions. The meth
DDS were at first very primitive, nearly
all the work being done by hand. bu
of late years new and modern ma
chinery has been introduced, large fac
tories built. and last year Sebnitz ex
ported flowers valued at 2O,OOO.OO(
marks, of which the United State:
took S5OO,OOO or 100000 marks.

CATCHING ON.
rho Story Of Young Man Who Knew
Enough to Improve an Opportunity.

Tho Story Of Young Man Who Knew
Enough to Improve AN Opportunity.
s'What Go-ernor Northen, Of Geor-
gia, says about the value Of technical
education to young men reminds me Of
curious little story," remarked d
steamship agent of this city: ..I can
tell it without injuring anybody; at
present, as the chief actor is now
comfortably located in the North.
HE was young Louisianian-calI
him John Smith for the purpose of the
varn-who drifted down to one of the
Latin American countries several
years ago, looking for chance to
catch on Nothing presented itself.
and he was getting desperate, when
the authorities of certain good-sized
town determined to install an electric
light plant, and also to see what could
be done toward utilizing an adjacent
water power. They wanted to send an
expert to this country to get the neces-
sary machinery, but had nobody in
sight competent to undertake the task.
and young Smith promptly jumped
into the breach and introduced himself
as high-class electrical engineer. AS
matter of fact he didn't know an
electric current from branded
cherry, but he had to have job, and,
to make a long story short, lie was
engaged on the spot.
"Now comes the remarkable part of
it. He sailed North on the next steam
er, and as soon as he arrived in New
York he Immediately entered techni.
cal school for a course in electrical
engineering. Then he also entered a
night school for the same line of IN
struction. thus doing double work.
Luckily he had the constitution Of a
horse, so he stood the strain without
breaking down. and in months time
he had a sufficient working knowl-
edge of the profession to enable him to
attend to his errand intelligently He
made an excellent deal, and on his re-
turn brought back small library fol
the continuance of his studies. He is

Green Cut Bone and Bone Meal,


AS an S forming food, meat and
corn are far superior to any other food.
A fair comparison between grain and
meat will show that ground meat is
cheaper than grain because it increases
egg production, and contains less
waste. The bones supply the albu-
men, lime and grit and are less liable
to make the hens too fat. One ounce
of ground meat and bone may be al
lowed to each hen every other day in
the fall and winter months. Fresh
ground bone is superior to any pre-
pared beef scraps.
There is no doubt about the value of
bone meal or scraps for promoting the
growth of young chicks. It should be
fed sparingly at first and I prefer to
feea it mixed with other food, tea
cupful, made into cake. baked brown
in the oven. This will answer for 100
chicks ten days old. Increase the
quantity as they grow older. Use
Judgment, however, as you are liable
to throw the young chicks off their
feet from overgrowth.- w. Nones,

Wintering Bees on Summer Stands
Not having cellar room for storing
bees, have adopted the following
scheme for taking care of them on the
summer stands: Packing cases are
| provided, in size some three inches
| larger on all sides than the hives they
are to cover, slot sawed in the front
extending clear across the hive. The
passageway between the cases and
hive is carefully bridged over to allow
the bees to go and come freely. The
space between the hive and case is
closely packed with dry leaves raked
up on the lawn. In preparing the hives
! for packing I remove the cover and re-
place it with pine board one-fourth
| inch in thickness, through which a
| few half-inch holes have been bored
for convenience in fall or spring feed
ing These holes are carefully covered
| with a small piece of thin board at
packing time, then an empty super
placed on the board and packed as
closely as possible with leaves. In
fact, heaped up and running over, and
the regular hive cover laid loosely on
top.
This thin pine cover next to the
frames seems to act as free conduc-
1 tor to the moisture of the cluster while
conserving the heat of the hive very
fully. The hand thrust into the leaves
in the super in cold weather can in.
stantly locate the cluster by the slight
moisture and warmth of the leaves
I When the entire hive, super and all
has been closely packed, a slopine
cover of boards covered with tarred
roofing paper is fitted over all, and the
bees are left to enjoy their stores i
peace.-G. s. Gregg! IN American Agr1
