Six-Acre Field of Dahlias.

\ siX-acre field. wholly planted with
dahlias. occupied Tuesday afternoon the
attention of the garden committee of the
Massachusetts Horticultural society. Tn
der the leadership of Patrick Norton,
chairman of the committee, a visit was
made to the dahlia garden of Walter F.
Lothrop at East Bridgewater. This sec
ton of Plymouth county is the dahlia
belt of New England; its light soil when
well fortified being especially adapted to
the growing of this plant, and Mr.. 10th
rop's garden is the largest area east of
New Jersey devoted to the culture of this
popular flower. The occasion of the visit
was in connection with the award of the
societys prize for the best garden or
field of dahlias, and for which this es-
tate is entered in competition with
others. All the FIVE classes OF dahliaS
recognized in the society's schedule were
here represented by countless specimens.
OF the 1913 named varieties cultivated in
this garden. no two persons would select
the same dozen forms Great advanc
has been made in late years in the inn
provement of this flower. and very few
of the varieties IN cultivation twenty
years ago are now known. The Livoni,
ore of the old pink varieties, is. however,
still popular. OF the decorat tive class
were especially noted the Mrs. Charles
Turner, a handsome yellow dahlia; the
tiers, both white. and the GlorioSa,
light red. lie CooSse. large, snowy
dahlia, sometimes produces flowers
eleven inches in diameter. Among the
most attractive and popular varieties are
the Juno, the Perle de Ia Tete dor.
white Powered, of which there are 1900
plants; the Reisen Cactus, 4 magnificent
red: the Himmelische. in rose Pink; the
Clifford w Bruton, yellow. and the
Colonel Wilson. handsome red. Single
dahlias were also in large supply and in
great variety of handsome colors. Mr.
Lothrop has several fine seedlings of his
own originating. the Pink Duke of the
decorative class; the w. Wilkeson. a
crimson variety of the cactus class. and
the White Beauty. a small hut perfectly
formed flower Mention should also be
made of the Countess of LonSdnle and
the White Queen. both handsome. free
blooming and very popular varieties
The development of the interest in
dahlia growing during receHt years has
been nota bis marked and well shown at
the exhibitions of the horticultural So
ciety.-Boston Transcript

LIVING WITH A TARANTULA.
For Six Months the Big Spider Terrorized

An ugly, yenomous tarantula from the
tropics was dispatched at the home of

it had terrorized the family for period
or six months. link was a former fruit
dealer, and one day a half year ago while
he was handling q bunch of bananas tho
huge spider hoped out and escaped. link
and members of his family searched for
the insect for some time, but without
avail, and then concluded that it had
gone out into the wide world. Not long
after that, however. the tarantula was
discovered in the house, and again chase
was given it, but once more it escaped by
hiding.
At intervals ever since then the taran-
tula had been seen at various places
through the dwelling, but in every in
stance it managed to elude its pursuers.

days when he was practicing law in
Boise City was on a certain occasion
sternly reprimanded by the judge of a
court in that city because of alleged con

in the sum of $50.
The next day, according to custom
followed in the Idaho courts, the judge
called upoE Mr.. Dubois to occupy the
bench for him during the transaction of
some comparatively unimportant bust
ness. After the judges departure from
the courtroom Mr.. Dubois exhibited an
instance Of that remarkable presence Of
