SEEDS IN DEMAND
Business Is One-third Heavier Than
Last Year.
-. ~
SEASON IN THE CITY IS LATE
The First Warm Rain aWill ser
the Gardeners to
Work.

Lack of rain and the cold winds that
have prevailed in Minneapolis for the past
two weeks have given the city an IN
usually untidy appearance for TINS Time
Of the year The lawns about the city
have not yet turned green, and unpleasant
weather has prevented the planting OF
| flower seeds, so that those grounds which
are usually showing bits of green at this
| time Of the year are still brown and un-
attractive.
However, gardeners and seed firms feel
confident that the season will be pros,
porous once it has ipened. The business
| done by the seed firms has exceeded that
| Of past years by from 25 to 331-3 per cent,
and that, too, Despite the fact that there
| has been practically no local demand
Miss G. H. Lippincott, head OF the Lip
pincott seed house, said this morning that
she expected ito be flooded with local or
ders Immediately following the, first warm
rain "The mail order business she said,
sis already third larger than for this
| time last year. ~ ~
At the establishment of Northrup, King
& Co., the demand for flower seeds was
reported to be fully rs per cent larger
than last year. In commenting upon the
| situation Mr. Northrup said asss
! Our business has been most satisfactory hut
| l want to again emphasize the fact that peo-
! pie should not plant flower seeds too early.
| If they are put into the ground when it is

! from 31a to inches deep; but the general rule
! for planting flower seeds is to bury them at
! depth equal to about twice their diameter.
! Many seeds are lost because planted too deep.
| Our trade in flower seed has been largely
! in sweet peas, nAsturtiums, astors, balsam,
Margaret carnations, which bloom the first
year after the seed has been put into the

Mas, pansies, peoples, scarlet sage and YER

and which is great fayorite in England al

T. c. r. ri Officials for Financing
Immediate Impro vements,
NEW cARaWoRKtTo BE CROWDED
Mr.. Lowry just Back From New
+, York Talks OF the Com
pany's Plans.

p 81 s
President Thomas Lowry Of the Twin
City Rapid Transit company returned
yesterday from New York, where he
attended the meeting Of the directors. He
says the financing of the improvements
contemplated by the officials has not been
discussed by the board Said Mr.. Lowry:
The completion Of the steam power plant
is some distance ahead and the earnings will
supply the company with the funds neces-
sary to start the work. This removes the ne
cessity of any immediate action by the board
for financing the Improvement. Whether 1t
will be done by an issue of stock OF by other
means has not been discussed
Work on the spring improvements will be
Well under way within a short time. The big
program; laid lout this year will give US
plenty to- do without planning the construc-
tion of new lines The work on the new cars
viii be crowded to the limit.
The action efSthe board Of directors in de-
claring a ~ per cent quarterly dividend on
the common stock Is in line with the con-
servatiye dividend policy of the company.
There is "a safe; margin Of surplus for the
dividend and the necessary improvements. If
the board had not felt confident of keeping
the dividend at that rate it would not have
taken the action.
Mr. Lowry said that the 500 road would
declare no dividend until 1t was reason
ably certain of it's ability to maintain it.

DISPELLING A DELUSiON
The Business of Stonecutting Not II
juriOus to the Eyes. 80
New Orleans .Times-Democrat.

New Orleans Times-D Democrat
| There is world Of people who think
! that the business of a stonecutter has
serious effect on the sense of sight," said
an old man in the business, "but it is
really very great mistake. AS matter
! of fact, the stonecutter's eyes are just
about as good as any other mans eyes.
OF course, business Of this kind must
have some influence on a mans vision.
But it may be stated that stonecutting is
! less dangerous to mans eyes than a
great many other callings. The smoke
and dust of manufacturing cities are in
| finitely worse on the eyes than the small
particles one will find in a stonecutting
shop. BY the way, it is curious fact that
been contaminated by the mechanism Of
the age. Take sculpture. Machines can
not do the work Of a sculptor. Machines
cannot do any of the work Of stone
cutter. The chisel and the mallet cam
| not be handled by machines. a But re-
curing to the effect on the eyesight, my
own experience justifies the conclusion
that the stonecutter's vision is just about
as good as any other mans. In fact, 1
I believe it is better as matter of fact.
| cannot explain why it is I do not
really know what effect the small parti-
| cles of stone have on the eyesight. But
1 know it is fact that stonecutter can
see as we'll as any other man. Ordinarily
any sort of a particle will injure the eye
and obstruct the vision. 1t is natural to
suppose that the small particles to be
found in a stoneyard will injure the
sight for the same reason that smoke in
manufacturing cities is very Injurious to
the eyes. But it is a curious fact that
| the business of stonecutting does not
seriously impair the sight. Boilermaking,
the ceaseless hammering on steel boilers,
nearly always results In deafness, and 1t
! is generally believed that stonecutting,
! on the same principle, has serious effect
on the eyes. But 1t is not SO. The stone
! cutters eyes are just as good as the eyes
of the average man, and the can see just
as far, and Is not forced to wear glasses
earlier in life than the average man.
