The Line of Beauty.

Many mistakes are made in locating
walks and drives about our homes.
The curved line is not used enough or
1t is unappropriately used. In many Of
our rural homes a straight walk is the
only walk we find. A straight walk is
the only kind that is permissible, peo-
pie often think, yet there are many
cases where a simple curve could be in
troduced with very great effect. AS
the poet says, straight is the line of
duty; curved is the line of beauty" and
wherever it is possible to introduce a
curve we are gaining that much more
toward ornamentation. If the distance
from the street to the house is not more
than ten feet, straight walk is imper-
alive, and it may be at 20 feet although
at that distance curve may be made
possible by placing our entrance not
directly in front of the door. and then
by slight bend the walk is made more
effective, particularly if there is a
slight elevation coming from the street.
Sometimes we can introduce flower
bed as reason for the making Of a
curve or plant tree or shrub.

a Remarkably Good Showing.

A Remarkably Good Showing.
According to the report of Major w.
G. Gorgas, chief sanitary officer of
Havana, the death rate for the month
of December was 2O47, thus ranking
the Cuban capital in the class of the
worlds healthy cities The total num-
Der of deaths for the month was 463
as against minimum Of SIT and
maximum of 1000 for the same month
In the last nine years of Spanish rule.
Major Gorgas manifests especial sat
isfaction when he says that Havana
has not had a case of smallpox since
July, 1900, and none of yellow fever
since Sept. %, 1901. Not for a hun
dred years before has the city passed
three consecutive months without sac
rifcing a single victim to the terrible
'vomito,"' and the major boldly ven
lures the prophecy that yellow fever
has been rooted out of Havana" In
the previous eleven years, including
two under American rule, the Deem
Der minimum of fever cases has been
8, the maximum 147 and the average
1890 Here is the explanation: 1.-THE
only year in which any attention has
been paid to mosquitoes in connection
with yellow fever is 1901. In the two
preceding years of American occupa
ton, 1899 and 1000, every means
known to science and which money
could command, backed by unlimited
military authority, was used to destroy
fomites on the theory that fomites
were the means of propagating yellow
fever In 1901 the same efforts were
directed to the destruction of mosqui-
ties on the theory that the mosquito is
the only means of propagating this dis
ease, and the hygiene of yellow fever
view, the effort to destroy fomites hav-
ing been entirely laid aside. These
are the facts in the case, and | leave
the department commander to draw
his own conclusions therefrom."
Altogether this is remarkable show
| ing in the way of results achieved, and
Major Gorgas does not even pretend to
| conceal the honest pride he feels in
what he and his fellow laborers have
| done for the Cuban capital. He has
ample reason for self graduation, and
| all friends of Cuba should accord him
! and his associates full praise.

The Cost of Living.

In commenting on an address deliv-
cred by Andrew Carnegie before the
railroad branch of the Young Mems
Christian association the New York
Times calls attention TO q very serious
error in the speakers statement that
"it ig one of the most cheering facts
Of our day that under present condi-
tons the wages of labor tend to rise
and the prices of the necessities of life
tend to fall"
That there has been rise in wages
is undoubtedly true, but recently COM
piled statistics do not sustain the Sec
ond half of Mr.. Carnegie's statement.
On the contrary, figures carefully COM
piled for Dun's review show that
there has been a remarkable advance
in the price of the necessaries of life
since July 1, 1897, when they reached
the lowest level in fourteen years. In

Senator John Raines, the author of
the famous New York liquor law
which bears his name, advised his ru-
raj admirers to let New York city alone
for the present and devote themselves
to the enforcement of the law in their
own neighborhoods. The suggestion is
not without pertinency. There are
many villages and smaller cities not
alone in the Empire State, but else
where, which should get rid of the
beams in their own eyes before gun
ming for the notes in the eyes of the
big cities.

cut through the second knot in order
to leave the eye protected by a closed

eyes the upper cut was made about an
inch above the second bud eye. Care
was taken to prevent the drying out Of
the cuttings and afterward of the
CRAFTS.
End to end grating as originated in
France was practiced in some in
stances. The number Of successful
CRAFTS obtained by this method was
low, but those that did unite made ex-
cellent unions. In grating by this
method the ends of stock and scion
are cut at an angle of about 10 de-
grees and held in place by piece of
galvanized wire, which is pushed into
the pith of each piece.
The proportion Of successful Cham
pin CRAFTS was slightly greater than
that Of the English cleft. The sue
cessful English cleft CRAFTS, however,
were considerably superior to the other
in the matter Of completeness and
strength of union.
The experiments with two eye and
one eye scions We're, on the whole, in
favor of the use of two eyes.
The difference between callusing the
CRAFTS in sand and planting them di-
rectly in the nursery as soon as made

callused produced CT per cent Of good
unions, while the others produced but
&c per cent. There was also a differ
ence in the growth of the CRAFTS in ia

PLANTS IN WINDOWS.
How to Keep Them Thrifty Under

How to Keep Them Thrifty Under
Various Conditions.
Plants must be treated as individuals.
No two can be handled in exactly the
same manner, atfirms Meehan's Month
ly in presenting some points of success

first know the probable needs of our
plants then give regular care and ex-
ercse Judgment in maintaining certain
treatment or suspending it for some
thing better suited to the immediate
requirements.
The conditions of the soil in the pots
is of first Importance. Plants of sue
culent nature or with fleshy roots will
usually object to real heavy soil. 9th
ers may find unsuited conditions in an
extremely light, porous soil. Where
doubt enters the mind be safe and
adopt a medium grade of soil, loamy
and porous.
| Naturally heavy soil is slow to take
up moisture as we'll as slow in yielding
| it. Water poured on the surface Of
such finds slow entrance and slow pas
will rarely get any moisture, though
mostly needed there, unless it be given
by standing it for a few moments in a
saucer of water. Such soil becomes
sodden and sour and will likely be
overwatered in the upper part.
The extreme of this state = light
sandy soil-of course takes water at
oil G. oS
off In a warm room the moisture will
evaporate so quickly as to require wa
tering twice a day and each time a
| thorough soaking. Medium light soil
| is seen to be the safest. Let it be just
so that the water will enter at once
and dampen the soil throughout the pot
without running off.
Plants in jardinieres sometimes suf-
fer by having water standing in the
latter-they are literally drowned. On
the other hand, if the plant is growing,
especially rapid growth, or Towering
an abundance Of water is required, and
what would ordinarily be an oversup-
ply is then of great benefit.
Light and air are of very great i'm
portance Plants should have both ev-
cry day, and this light must be dis
tributed equitably. This is accomplish
ed by turning the plants around, ex'
posing them to the light on all sides.
Some plants require more heat than
others, especially when growing and
receiving considerable water Plants
practically dormant may be kept coo
and without much water and light.
But few persons realize what a small
amount of soil is made to support {

 Both the archaeologist and the col lector have a noble harvest field of curious weapons of the chase and war in the Philippines. The archipelago is not uniformly civilized, but consists of layers of social strata ranging from the educated well-bred man of Manila to the naked Guadanes and tree-dwellers of Mindanao. They are not even mem bers of the same race. The Tagals and Visayas are fine types of the Malay, while the Negrito is a Papuan, and the Aeta is brother of the Aino of Japan, and belongs to some ancient hairy race, which once held sway in this part of the world.
 Al the men use weapons, and like to get the best they can, but with warning races, especially hunters and hunted, the lower ones are compelled to use those which they are able to make themselves. Around the big cities may be found modern rifles, such as the Mauser the Krag g-Jorgensen. and the Winchester. Further inland you run across old Springfelds, Enfelds and Minies. Still further in the interior you find the handsome but inefficient Span ish muskets of the latter part of the eighteenth century, and Lieut-Col. Sar- gent captured a couple of Tower mus kets from some insurgents. At the fishing ports on the north of Luzon and on the east coast of Mindanao flintlocks have been seen. Thus, the whole his- tory of firearms may be found illus trated in these islands. The Malay is
