Old Home Week.

In three of the New England states,
Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont,
this is ''old home week. They have left
the latchstrings out and are ready to
give cordial greeting to a multitude of
their sons who will return from all over
the country for a visit at the old home
steadS, and Il reunion with the home
folk. New Hampshire was the first to
designate certain week when it would
be at home to receive its children, re-
new oldtime memories and sit down and
compare experiences. Maine followed its
example, and then Vermont, and now
each year in these three states there is a
joyous home festival which from a pri-
vate and individual reunion has grown
into public celebration, observed with
decorations. parades, addresses and ban
quets for one day at least of the week.
1t is now intimated that next year
Massachusetts. Rhode Island and Con
necticut will also institute the home week
festival, and that it will be proclaimed
by their respective governors. Then all
New England will call for its children to
come home. If they should all obey the
call their coming would be like the march
of mighty army and some sections of
the West would be nearly depopulated if
they should send away their New Eng
landerS and their descendants.
The yearly homecoming in New Eng
on the old-time Thanksgiving observance.
That festival comes at a busy season Of
the year when it is difficult for New
Englandcrs at a distance to make con-
nectiOn with the home turkey. and thus
the reunions are largely neighborhood
affairs. but the home week is set at n
time when vacations are generally taken.
and thus it is possible for the largest
number TO avail themselves of its privi-
leges and pleasures. Its initiation in
New Hampshire was a happy thought,
and it is to be hoped that the home week
will be adopted by all the New England
states. Apart from the pleasure Of per-
Sonal reunions of old friends and rela-
tiyes. both guests and hosts have much
10 give and to receive. The visitors will
get fresh hints in the science Of good gov
eminent. increased respect for the moral
tiles. higher enthusiasm for education.
and new lessons in healthy conservatism.
while their entertainers will get more
world knowledge, more industrial and
commercial push, more aggresSlyeness,

HOW THINGS GROW IN HAWAII
CabbaEes Are Perennial and Potatoes
Yield Four Crops a Year.

How great are the possibilities of Ha-
waii as a fruit and vegetable growing
country will be understood when it be-
comes known that four crops of potatoes
have been produced in succession on the
same piece of land within twelve months
Radishes become edible ten days after
sowing. Strawberry vines bear fruit all
the year. The berries are of the finest
flavor.
Cabbage grows all the year and it APP
parently makes no difference whether it
is planted in the spring, summer. autumn
or winter. Parsley once sOwn grows for
ever, apparently. Lima beans continue
to grow and bear for over a year, and
they have to be gathered every week
after starting to bear. Cucumbers bear
the entire year and so do tomatoes, which,
with proper attention, bear for years.
Raspberries bear for six months.
Pineapples come into bearing when the
plants are four months old and bear in
abundance for years. Lettuce can be
planted at any time, and it develops
quickly. The same is true of celery

PARTY NAME CUTS NO FIGURE.
Candidates in France Must Get Near
the People to Win.


In France political parties have no pro
grammes in strict sense; no precise
formula that defines their politics and
their demands, says NJ. Charles Seigno-
hos in the International Monthly. They
have sentiments, passions. if you prefer
it SO, and general tendencies which suf-
flee to classify the politicians and those
who elect them. Politics in France is
purely an "affaire de sentiment" the
elector votes for the candidate whose POI
litical feelings approach most nearly to
his own; he is guided by the sympathies
and antipathieS manifested by the candi-
dates, and by the personal relations
which they entertain towards the people
of one or the other party in each locality.
This criterion allows the French country
men to know the representatives of their
personal sentiments in SO sure n way
that they can rarely be deceived. The
electOr, when he sees a candidate arrive
whose opinions are not clearly known to
him, does not stop at the party appella-
ton that the unknown parades. but he
observes that people patronize him and
what company he keeps, and the elector
soon knows to which side he belongs.
French politics are directed not by par
ties but by tendencies, and those who de-
sire to understand them must give heed.
