Crane Secured PlunBs Hat

Several Senator'S who are still in the
city met in one Of the committec-rooms
at the capitol this morning. The con-
versation in some way drifted to Will
lam H. Crane and his Interpretation
of the role of "The Senator" 1t brought
out story of how Crane put the finish
ing touches upon his great character
study.
"As you we'll know" said one of the
group, Crane took his character almost
directly from Senator Plumb of Kansas.
Crane had just started out with "The
Senator" and had opened in Washing
ton. We had all seen the performance
and liked it immensely. But l thought
l saw one defect. Crane wore a high
silk hat. which was not at all according
to my thinking, in keeping with his imi-
tation of Plumb, who always wore the
characteristic broad-brimned felt hat of
the southerner. One evening. when
Crane, Ingalls,, Plumb and myself hap
pcned to be dining together, remarked
TO Crane about the matter of the high
hat.
"You really ought not to wear it, for
it is not in keeping with the character, "
said l. You ought to wear one like
Plumb's"
"Cranc did not say much in answer,
but when we arose from the table he
reached out for Plumb's hat, and calmly
put it on. Leaving his own hat for
Plumb. Crane went off down the street,
with the old felt affair jammed down
over his forehead The Senator was too
surprised to offer objection. The next
night Crane appeared on the stage with
Plunab's hat on his head, and thereafter
wore it at every performancc.-WasI-

the better. Scatter ashes over the
land about as thick as you would sand
a floor. Spade or plow this In. Now
put on heavy coat Of rotted COW or
hog manure and plow 1t in. Rakeso
the land, breaking all clods and check
off the hills to stand five feet each way.
Incorporate into each hill good;
shovelful of fine, we'll rotted manure of
same lot just used for top dressing:
Now carefully lay to one side the soil
and manure. at each check making a.
hole two feet square and the depth Of
the soil, and thoroughly spade and
break up the subsoil Throw the soil
taken out back into the hole and you
are now ready for the plants.
Tastes differ as to varieties, some
liking the seedy acid sorts and some
the large, sweet kinds. Having se-i
lected the variety you prefer get plants,
that are nearly in blossom and open
up each hill from north to south with
a hoe, in such q way as to make the,
south end about six inches deep and
the north end even with the surface
In making this hole be sure to draw
your hoe from the north to the south.
Now lay your plant with Its head to-
the north, cover the roots, water plen-s
tifully and go on to the next, and so.
on to the end of the row. Return on
the row and fill the holes with the dry
soil so that only about three inches
of vine is out of the ground. Thus the.
plant will form a fine lot Of roots on
either side, along its buried stem, will
not be blown about by the wind and:
can easily be covered in case of late
frosts. Now insert poles into the
ground, one at the head Of each plant;
and standing fully six feet out Of the
ground. The poles should be stout and
should go down not less than is:
inches. Train your vines to these poles
cutting off all branches just beyond,
the first upward shoot, and have only
one main vine to each pole. Work and
keep clean, same as any other vegeta-
BILE until plant begins to bloom. Pick
off all ill-shaped fruit as it appears
and when your tomatoes are ripe they
will be a sight for sore eyes.-W. w.

Dogs and the Nations.

Newly completed returns show that
France holds the European record with
100000 registered dogs, which is equal
20 seventy-hve per thousand inhabitants.
Ireland comes next with seevnty-three
per thousand, then England with thirty
eight, Germany with thirty-one and
Sweden with eleven.
France has gained but two million in
its human population in more than half
century. Ireland struggles and
dwindles under discomfort, denationali-
zation, oppression and emigration. Yet
these two countries so lead the rest in
the possession of Tray, Fido, Bruno
and their kind that practically there is
no second. Germany had two million
less population than France in 1845.
Now she has 100000 people to
Frances 3S,ooo,ooo, but her proportion
of dogs to persons is much less than
half than in the republic across the
Rhine.

Summer Flowering Bulbs.

For summer Towering there is moth
ING better than the old gladiolus In it's
countless new and improved colors.
1t thrives in any garden and is little
troubled with insects; though grass
hoppers sometimes find its gay colored
petals a delectable food. The bulbs
are easily cared for in winter. wrap
ping in paper and placing in a frost
proof closet being the only requisite.
Some of the hardier sorts may be left
in the ground from year to year,
though bulbs thus treated will un-
doubtedly in time deteriorate in quail
ity. They may be raised from seed,
an infinite variety being thus obtained.
While they generally bloom the sec
ond summer, unless one values the
pleasure Of experimenting and the
chance of securing some rare prizes
more highly than their time, the pur-
chase of mature bulbs at present
prices will be found more satisfactory.
There is a great range in color and
an endless variety of markings which
render the opening Of each spike a
pleasant surprise This season a prom
inent firm advertises a snow white
one among their novelties. While
those nearly white are common all
thus far produced have some slight
flakes or tinges OF color and pure
white variety will surely prove popu-
lar. They are fine cuttings, especially
for cemetery decoration, where the tall
spikes commencing to bloom at the
base, continue daily to put forth new
blossoms until the terminal bud is
opened. The faded flowers close and
are not unpleasantly obtrusive, even
when not removed. This trait makes
the flower admirable for cutting where
daily supervision is impracticable.
These plants, for a number of years
favorites among city gardeners, have
but recently found their way to any
extent among rural homes. The foli-
age is handsome and the flowers much
larger and of more brilliant colors
than those of other begonias. They
remain in bloom for days, and the
blossoms when they finally drop, are
fresh as when first opened. 1t is a
favorite for summer blooming in either
porch or conservatory, while for bed
ding it bids fair, if sheltered from the
hot sun and winds, to rival the old ge-
ranium. The colors vary from white
to yellow, pink, intense scarlet and
bright crimson, and the flowers often
measure from four to six inches across.
Give light, rich soil in summer. and IN
winter pack in pots of dry earth and
keep free from frost. How could 4
plant be more modest and obliging in
its demands Bessie L. Putnam, In
Agricultural Epitomist.

renninr Sheep on Small Areas.

For many years it has been known
that by penning sheep on snail areas
the land will rapidly improve in fer
tility. A case has been mentioned In
which a Georgia farmer penned 5o
sheep for 20 nights on an acre of land
with the result that his yield of cotton
was more than double the next year.
The penning of sheep on small plots
is a regular practice in England, the
farmers in many cases depending upon
sheep almost exclusively for improV-
ing their soils.

Lime on tho Manure Heap.

In order to quickly decompose ma

heap, which soon reduces the heap,
but with the liability Of loss of ammo

damp with soapsuds or water, thert
will not be so great loss Of ammo

Clover as a soiling Crop.

Experienced dairymen assert that an
acre of clover on rich land will feed 45
COWS for Is days If cut and fed as
soiling crop. In this respect it is much
more productive than rye, oats or some
other grain crops that are cut green,
aad it is also superior to such as food.
Corn for soiling is more productive
than clover, but not so nutritious.

FIRE INVESTIGATION.
State Deputy Insurance Commissioner
In Ellsworth Saturday.

c. W. Fletcher, of Augusta, deputy in
surance commissioner of Maine, was in
Ellsworth recently investigating incen-
diary fires, particularly the fire in the old
veterinary hospital on School street. The
attention OF the State insurance depart
ment was called to this matter by the
item in THE AMERICAN last week.
Mr.. Fletcher, following out the theory
that the fire was due to intense rivalry
between two hose companies, examined
a number of members Of the hose COM
panies, particularly several members of
City hose company who returned from
dance at Lamoine on the night OF the
fire, and who were present at the fire in
the clothes in which they returned from
the dance.
The exact result OF the investigation
was not made public, but 1t is under
stood that considerable important evil
dence was secured. Mr.. Fletcher said to
a representative of THE AMERICAN after
the investigation that before any further
action was taken, he would consult with
his chief, Insurance Commissioner Carr.
The usual procedure in such cases is for
the insurance commissioner to have pre-
liminary investigation or inquest. Ii, in
his opinion, sufficient evidence is obtained
to warrant a conviction, the evidence is
turned over to the county attorney, and
the case prosecuted in the usual manner.
