FLOWER CULTIVATION EASY
Requires No Needing or Hoeing and Very Little Attention Is
 Made Necessary.

The most inspiring Horticultural idea of the last quarter of a century Is the naturalizing of flowers by the thousand in situations where they need absolute ly no care after planting. says Country Life. It is the easiest kind of garden ing, for there is no weeding, watering, hoeing, stalking or tying. It Is the most artistic form of gardening. because the flowers fit perfectly into the landscape. It is the most effective kind of garden ing, because nothing can surpass in beauty continuous sheet of flowers all of the same variety. No matter how numerous they may be, these wildlings never seem gaudy or vulgar. And, finally. if 1t is the least expensive way of getting hosts of fiowers--fowers like the stars of the Milky Way in multitude. A thousand narcissus bulbs! The thought takes one's breath away; yet a thousand of the bulbs of the poets' narcissus cost only i've dollars-a mere nothing compared with the vision of ioveliness that 1t makes possible.

THE RIGHT WAY TO COUCH
Something That Never Occurs to the Average Individual, Al
 though Important.

Few people know how to cough prop erly, says London Answers. Tn fact 1t never occurs to the ordinary individ- ual that there are right and wrong ways of doing it. Yet 1t is matter of no small importance. If every sigh means a drop of blood out of the heart, as peo- pie say, every cough means some great CT or less proportion of time knocked off one's life. Most people cough as loudly and as forcibly as they can. Some chronic coughers seem proud of the noise they make. But 1t is rather costly noise, for the simple reason that 1t tears and inflames the lungs.
 The lungs consist of an extraordinari- ly delicate, sponge-like tissue, which sometimes gets infiamed and choked with phlegm When we try to get rid of this substance we cough But, ob- viously. If we remove 1t violently we must necessarily injure the delicate lung tissue. Therefore, train yourself to cough as gently as possible, After 2 little practice you will find 1t quite easy to do so, Tn that way you will do mini mum of mischief to the lungs, and add years to your life.

< BATcHELDRR AT YALE.

New Haven, Sept 15.-Henry S. Batchelder, the former Yale football player, who was sentenced Tuesday to six months in Jail for conducting a gambling house in Reading, Pa, was prominent as a student at Yale because of his reputation as an dth- lete and member of the Yale football team, After his graduation from the High school in Waterbury, Conn, Batchelder came to this city and en- tered the Yale Law school in the fall of 1902,
 He was feet tall and weighed POO pounds, and when he presented him. self at the solicitation of the foot ball authorities with the other can didates he watf immediately given q place on the college team against which the Varsity played daily prac- tice games. Batchelder> then went under the name of Knopf, which was his mothers name. He held q throughout the fall of 1902, and did not make the varsity team. Dur ing his first year at the Law school Batchelder was popular. He spent money freely and about the city was regarded as "a good fellow"
 The stepfather of the young man, w.. H. Batchelder of Waterbury, is reptlted to be wealthy. According to the story told to friends here he settled considerable amount of his wealth on his stepson in return for the young man changing his name from Knopf to Batchelder. Tn his second year at Yale the young man was registered under the name of Batehelder.. He gave much atten- tion to football, and after playing nearly the entire season on the scrub team he was given q position as right guard on the varsity team | just before the Princeton game in | this city.

THE PUGILISTS.
O. BRIEN CAN \. FIGHT A BIT
He Puts it all Over Hugo Kelly for Six Rounds
 Tom Sharkey Got Punch ed-Nunroe a Loser.

Philadelphia, Sept 15.--A stormy night held down the attendance at the National Athletic club, though Jack OBrien and Hugo Kelly were carded to go six rounds at catchweights. When the main bout was called not more than 1,5O0 were in the club house. OBrien and Kelly jumped into the ring immediately after the last preliminary and no time was lost ,n getting them together, They agreed to break at the referees command.
 First round: OtBrien led first with his left to the face. Jacks left landed on the jaw and his left and right reached the same place. Jack put q hard right to the jaw, and Kelly swung his left to the wind. Kelly hooked his left to the jaw, and O'Brien put his right to the eye. O'Brien put three rights and left to the jaw, making Kelly clinch.
 Second round: Each missed lefts for the face and Kelly poked hard left to the wind. Kelly then swung his right to the heart and caught a short left hook in return. They clinched and Kelly missed hard right swing for the jaw. They exchanged rights. Kelly put hard right to the chin, and Jack put a left to the head. Kelly swung his right to the jaw, but OBrien smashed two hard rights to the chin as the gong rang. This round was even.
 Third round: They came to clinch and O'Brien put light left to the face, O'Brien missed a left uppercut and Kelly put left to the heart. Jack staggered Kelly with right to the jaw, and the Chicago man clinched. Kelly, reeling on the ropes, clinched to save himself. O'Brien put his left to the wind O'Brien then split both of Kelly's eyes with swings, and Kelly was in bad shape when he went to his corner.
 Fourth round. Jack sent his left to the face twice, and Kelly clinched. Kelly's left eye was entirely closed. Jack sent his right to the heart, and . short left hook to the jaw. Kelly's right reached the ribs, and Jack put n hard right to the bad eye. Jack JRbbed the face twice, causing the Chicago man to clinch. Jack missed a right and left uppercut. Kelly was stag gered. with two right and left smashes on the jaw, but came back with d right on the heart.

England they would have exhausted all the females, in default of males, in the direct line, before passing to the agnates. According to this principle of success sion, the duchess of Fife stands nearer the throne of England that the duke of Connaught. When the czarevftch, who had long been a sufferer from consump- tion, died in July. 1899, the czar decreed that "henceforward, and so long as it may not please God to bless him with son, the right of succession to the throne involves. according to the precise defi- milton of the law of succession, upon our beloved brother, the Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovitch." This grand duke has now been displaced from his position as heir-apparent by his baby nephew, Alexis, as to whom it may charitably be hoped that his swaddling clothes will prove lighter burden than the multitude of military and other dignities with which he has all ready been invested.
 A curious thing about the birth of the czarevitch is that since the time of Peter the Great he is the only male heir.apparent that has been born to a reigning czar, and possibly 1t is for that reason that he has been called Alexis-the name of Peters ill-starred son. A lilelier reason for the nomen- clature may be the fact that the czar is very much attached to his second uncle, the grand Duke Alexis, who is supposed to be the lord high admiral of the Russian fleets. Had czare. witch not now been born, and had death claimed the czar's only surviving brother, Michael, the heir-apparency would have gone to his senior uncle, Che Grand Duke Vladimar, who has, perhaps, more of the real imperator In him than any other of his kith and kin.
 Meanwhile it has been decreed that sin the event of his imperial majesty dying before the czarevitch has at tained his majority, the Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovitch shall become regent, and in these circumstances | the Czaritsa Alexandrine Feodorovna shall be the guardian of the czare- 1 vitch." This is decree of far-reach- | ing importance, for among other | things--it means that the influence of the empress dowager, hitherto para mount, will be replaced by that of the 1 reigning empress, whose tears at her previous effacement will now be dried. l 1t Is truly astonishing what palace revolutions" may be prouced by a baby; but it is not so certain whether the door to such revolutions has now been shut or further opened by it's birth.

HOUSE HAD FAMOUS GUESTS.
Oldest Hotel in the United States West of the Allegheny Noun
 tains

The Girard hotel, of Brownsville, the oldest hotel In the United States west of the Allegheny mountains, and which has been in continuous service. furnish- ing entertainment for man beast for over 100 years, was lately sold by the sheriff of Fayette county to satisfy a mortgage, reports the Pittsburg Dis patch.
 While not the first hotel built this side of the Alleghenies, the Girard is without doubt the oldest in point of serv- ice. It was built in 1900, and just four years ago this summer celebrated the centennial of It's establishment. In the more than century that has passed since 1t was first erected the hotel has been in constant service. It has changed hands frequently, but has always been favorite place for travellers to stop.
 In the old days of the National Pike 1t was famous hostelry. Brownsville was then the head of navigation on the Monongahela river, The only route from Washington and Baltimore to all the vast domain that lies west of the Monongahela river valley was through Brownsville. At least that was the di- rect road, and one of the most travelled. Governors, senators, congressman and travellers of every kind and description journeyed that way and made the old Girard house their stopping place. An drew Jackson was a guest there So was Henry Clay Gen. Lafayette was entertained at the Girard, and a host of others whose names are familiar ip American history. Jackson was a fre- Quent guest at the house, and always in sisted on having the best Monongahela rye whiskey the valley could produce. It Is related of him that on one of his trips over the pike he suffered aeprained angle and put up at the Girard for re- pairs. The Brownsville physician called to attend him undertook to bathe the injured ankle with whisky, to which "Old Hickory vigorously objected. All though the medical man had his way, the hero of New Orleans insisted that the use of the remedy internally would do more good and save sacrilege.
 Of late years the management of the old house has been so successful. and 1t may soon make way for modern i'm proyements.

RUSSIAN SUCCESSION
WHAT THE BIRTH OF CHAR.
 EvITCH INVOLVES.
] His Advent Has Probably Averted Revolution, and Makes the Po- sition of the Empress a
 Paramount One.

4 It is not too much to say that the one bright spot on the present horizon of Russian history is the birth of g direct male heir to the throne of the czars. Had the empress presented her lord with a fifth daughter instead oi with his first son. there is no saying what might have been the ultimate, oI even the immediate result. The Rus sian people, than whom there Is nc more superstitious race in Europe. would have been inclined to believe that their autocratic ruler no longer enjoyed the countenance of the King of Kings, and might have thus been tempted to initiate the supposed exam. pie of the Almighty in, withholding their favor from their sonless sover. eign.
 It Is idle to speak of the Russian law of succession as we should talk of the English act of settlement. There is no real and abiding law in Russia but that of the czars will. The Great Peter enJoined each sovereign to select his successor to the throne from among the members of the imperial family, irrespective of the claims oi primogeniture: while Paul l., wha came to be deposed. annulled the or dinance of his predecessor and decreed the law of succession to be that of regular descent. by right of the first born, with preference of male over fe. male heirs. This is also the general statement of British law of succession. though in Russia it's application is very different-to <1 extent, indeed, which practically closes the path to the throne to female heirs.
 Thus, for example, the presN1t czar'a late brother, George, continueN to be heir-apparent after the birth of his majesty's first daughter; whereas in

Jack Munroe was caught out of line in his field book yesterday, and had an awful crimp put in his bank roll. He gave as high as 100 to against Memphis, and the men who string along with $2 bets got him so hard that he had to pay out close to $4O00.
 Munroe Is backing Harry Hastings's s book, and 1t was his first losing day. Jack is the cashier, and it, fell to him
 to hand out the money to the exultant pikers. Munroe lays against favor ites, which, as rule, have light play in the field. He accepted one $20 bet and several $5 wagers on Memphis, against the advice of his outside man.
