Children cuItivatlnq Back Yards

From a Washington Letter.
 Prof. Galloway of the agricultural de- partment, now has nine demonstration gardens" in operation here, teaching children to cultivate back yards and va cant lots. Fully 300 children are culti- vating such gardens. using seed furnished by the agricultural department Each garden is In charge of a government ex- pert, who directs the children how to make the most of soil, seed and sunshine.
 Prof. Galloway's work Is based on the plan adopted by Mayor Pingree of De- troit to utilize vacant lots for raising po- tatoes. In addition. Prof Galloway Is encouraging poor girls to raise flowers. supplying them with seed. Not only have children vegetables to sell but flowers as well, and poor girls, instead of gazing longingly at the florists windows, now wear as fine violets and pansles as any in the city.
 Children who had no land to cultivate have been given the use of small plots on the grounds of the agricultural de- pertinent.

ETIQUETTE AT OYSTER BAY.
Constable's Laudable But Futile Cru
 sade Against "lnformal" Attire.


 From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
 In it's normal condition, Oyster Bay, L. l.. could not be regarded, by any stretch of the imagination, as a gay or busy community. Under circumstances 1t is a place to make Willamette look like social maelstrom and Waukegan like a commercial whirlpool.
 When Oyster Bay is in a state of ex- cltement-when .he resident population commotion-there Is nothing it so much resembles as Sunday afternoon in Oak park or midnight on Davis street. Evan ston.
 But Oyster Bay Is not in its normal condition now The President of the United States is there. and his presence has made Oyster Bay center of attrac- ton for people who like to be where the President Is.
 No possible objection could be raised to this, however, if the people who are fond of being near the chief magistrate would only observe the conventionalities as they are understood in Oyster Bay. But they do nothing of the kind. They come over from New York on Saturday night and imagine that they are paying a tribute of respect to the executive if they parade the streets in bathing cos tunes some of which, as the telegraph has 1t, are altogether too informal"
 On Sunday last the police department of Oyster Bay. which consists of Consta- ble James McQuade, issued an order to guests at the Octagon house, which is about as large as an Evanston blind pig, that in future they must never ap- pear in public unless fully dressed. The idea that 1t Is possible for anybody to appear In public in Oyster Bay seems to have struck some of the guests as rath- CT humorous, for the greatest privacy can be secured there on any of it's prin- cipal streets. Nevertheless, the police department are serious and obdurate, and, finding that the guests of the Octa- gon house were apparently inclined to ignore the order, 1t addressed them in a body as follows:
 q come" said Constable McQuade, "to say few words. There's been a lot of indecent exposure going on In Oyster Bay since the President got here. It'll have to stop. We've. decided definitely on that. I'm here in the name of the law, repre- senting the mayor and the Oyster Bay board of trade, and 1 say, again, it has got to stop"
 This would be sufficient warning for most persons. but 1t is doubtful if 1t will have the effect of restraining the New York visitors from their favorite pastime It doubtless is all some of them can do to refrain from putting on bathing suits while riding on the Long Island City ferry boat.
 We fear McQuade does not realize the tremendous odds against him in this case He apparently has never passed a week at Asbury Park or Ocean Grove

The Mice In the Lingerie.

From the New York Sun.
 One of the large department stores or iginated an advertising scheme recently which successfully aroused the curiosity of the shoppers on Broadway. A sale of lingerie was in progress and one of the large windows was filled with fluffy masses of silk and lace as samples of the goods Inside. Men as well as women struggled and pushed to get places in front of that particular window and pass CTS by wondered what the attraction could be. When they in turn ebowed their way to the front they saw two healthy mice of the common garret vari- ety in an endless race over. under and around the goods displayed. The activity of the mice led one man to bet friend that the mice were trained, The bet was accepted and the men went into the store to settle 1t. but they were undoubt- edy sidetracked. for they did not reap pear.
