CORCORAN GALLERY REOPENS
Pictures and Statuary Cleansed and In

The opening of the Corcoran Art Gallery
and Art School took place yesterday, when
more than 700 persons visited the gallery
during the day. The gallery and school
have been closed for the past three months,
during which time the building has been
thoroughly renovated. 1t now presents an
appearance OF greater attractiveness than
ever before. All the pictures and frames
and the statues have been cleansed and

During the summer no new pictures or

place. This picture was taken to Boston
early In the year and exhibited with other
paintings by Sargent.

relative to the collection of pictures be-

Taking up and potting geraniums
and other bedding plants which farm
ers' wives and other amateurs wish
to preserve, should be done before
the advent of cool, frosty weather, in
order that some root growth can be
made before winter. As generally
managed, the work is deferred to the
latest possible moment, and then the
plants are kept in a hallway or on
the porch until the SHOWS Of early
November alarm the owner, and they
are taken in. This treatment gives
little or no opportunity for the plants
to make any progress in their new
position. The cold nights and occa-
sional cool days keep the temperature
of the soil in the pots much lower than
it should be- Newly-potted plants re-
quire to be kept for at least two
weeks after potting, in a room where
the temperature is above 80 degrees.
How to get a geranium with roots
sixteen inches long into an eight or
nine-inch pot is often puzzle to the
amateur, but is easy when one learns
how. First put in an inch of broken
crooks for drainage and then cover
with little coarse earth. Take the
plant I'm the right hand with roots
hanging down, insert the roots in the
pot so the ends of most Of the longest
ones rest on the earth, give the plant
a twist lowering it a little at the same
time, shake in some fine soil with the
left hand, and repeat the operation un-
til the roots are all in. The turning
of the plant distributes the roots and
takes up the slack or surplus length.
After few trials the experimenter
will be able to do it nicely without
cramming or crowding the roots. Do
not keep newly potted plants too wet.

One Of the favorite means Of attract
ing attention adopted by nurserymen
in advertising new and wonderful
trees and plants is the setting forth
Of their characteristics as hardy
plants; that Is, their ability TO with
stand cold. As a matter of fact, what
the grower wants IFS a plant that is
best adapted to Withstand hardship,
and is, ia that general sense, hardy.
While a Jersey COW If turned loose
near the north pole would not prove
hardy neither would polar bear II
turned loose on the equator The bear
could no more Withstand the hardship
to which he would find himself ex-
posed than could the poor COW. The
heat would use him up as quickly az
the absence of heat would demoralize
the COW. We often hear the Snyder
blackberry recommended as a hardy
plant, yet It is the first to throw up
the sponge" when the weather is a lit
tie too warm and a little too dry. II
some dissemination of plants will send
out a blackberry that is as large and
good as the best we now have. and
that sends it's roots down to everlast-
ing moisture and lifts up its head and
laughs at a three months drought,
with the thermometer at 100 degrees
in the shade, be may we'll claim to
have the champion plant. Growers
will not ask him to guarantee its cold
resisting ability. The cold Of winter
has no terror for the Michigan black
berry grower. A pear tree that can
Withstand 80 degrees below zero, but
which dries up and dies on the ap-
proach of the first hot wave, is worth
less in a country subject to hot waves.
In the light of past experience it is
difficult to understand how nursery
men can persist in advertising as
hardy new things that cannot sue
cessfully resist the summers heat
without knowing that they are per
petrating a deception on innocent and
unsuspecting farmers.

The MIIIIon stampa story.

AS to the value of used postage
stamps, a correspondent writes. "a
year or two ago firm of stamp deal
ers in Queen Victoria street used to
buy them at e2 per million. This
works out to more than 1000 stamps
a penny, but the firm declined to re-
ceive less quantities than 100000 at a
time. But for the last forty years
there has been a constantly recurring
fable as to the collection of a million
stamps. II is the story OF a hard
hearted guardian and a beautiful
ward. AS the price Of her betrothal
he stipulated the collection of a mil
lion stamps, a task he deemed impos-
sible. In consequence the girl was
inunded with stamps. In various
guises this story has repeated itself
for years One Of its last appearances
was in 1895, when master at Ripon
Grammar School was so flooded with
letters containing used stamps that he
had to contradict the story in the
press and beg for mercy. y."-Londou

NEW DIAMOND FIELDS.
British Guiana Produces an Enormous
Quantity Of Spar<lers.

NAANAfAI " NHetNftNNfNf
It may safely be asserted that no
more important event has happened
in British Guiana than the discovery
Of diamonds The beneficial effects Of
the discovery are apparent to-day in
every corner Of British Guiana, and
it is claimed by many that dia-
mond mining will soon be a promi-
nent factor in the productive element
of this colony 1t is already spreading
new life and energy throughout the
country. which, a couple Of years ago,
was in a languishing and impoverish-
ed condition. and will no doubt in a
few years convert some of the most
despised possessions into sources Of
revenue to the mother country, as
well as provide fields Of ever-widen-
ing enterprise for her sons.
Among the results which have fol-
lowed the discovery of diamonds are
the increase OF importations and
trade generally, the greater employ
ment of native labor, the progress of
developing work, the general but
gradual dissemination Of wealth
throughout all classes Of the COM
munity, the greater spreading powers
of the people and last. but not least,
the steady advance of civilization into
hitherto unexplored regions. Before
diamonds and gold were discovered,
the wealth Of the country was derived
almost exclusively from sugar. Dur
ing the twelve months ending June 80,
1902 1872, or diamonds have been de-
clared at the department of mines.
One Of the largest shipments was
made by the Royal Mail Steamship
Company in September, and one of
the largest individual shipments from
the mines, Of $4,000 stones. was made
in June The British Guiana Dia-
mond Syndicate also made the very
decent shipment of 1S,7O5 stones Cas
from March to September 190D.
One Of the encouraging signs has
been the discovery quite lately Of
stones larger than the ordinary run,
the first stones discovered being very
small in size Out of the 132,O77 dia-
monds declared in British Guiana for
the past twelve months ending June
30, 1902, 1872 ,636 we're taken from the
Mazoumi district
There was f7O000,00O sterling real
lied from diamonds found at Kimber-
ly during the first twenty years Of its
discovery, which has benefited all the
sections Of the population and en-
riched the whole Of South Africa, and
it is predicted that British Guiana will
feel a proportiouate advantage from
the development of diamond mining
within the territory. But for the dis
covery of diamonds the Mazoumi
basin, OF diamondlferous area of
British Guiana, would probably still
have remained in almost undisturbed
possession of the original Indian OF
native.--Jewelers Circular.
