appearance and arrangements Or the
grounds about the home at No. 1885 II.
81 attract attention on account Of
effects secured by simplicity Of design
and success in training plants.
The most striking effect secured by
the arrangement Of the grounds about
the Duse home is the apparent roomi-
ness. The lot contains a moderate
sized dwelling, wen to the front. and
building lsx2O feet in size at the rear.
The back yard contains clear space
apparently large enough for a baseball
game. and besides this there are the
roses. Yet all are in one lot 5Ox142 feet
n area. The floral effects that are
secured on this lot without croWding
have been one OF the attractions of the
street. Strangers frequently stop to in
quire concerning the methods by which
such results have been secured, and a
gentleman stopped once upon time to
ask il Mr.. Duse would consent to spend
few days at his hime in Hastings at
salary Of $40 day, experimenting the
laying out of grounds and the selection
OF plants for his home grounds. The
arrangement of the grounds is simple.
The lot is surrounded on three sides by
a board fence. Instead Of making his
flower beds at scattered points over his
lawn Mr.. Duse left a space four feet
wide entirely about that part of the
yard at the rear OF the house, separat-
ing this space from the lawn by boards
placed on edge at the level Of the lawn.
This makes a continuous flower bed
four feet wide, extending three-fourths
LOT the distance about the lot. AIT the
rest Of the yard at the rear of the house,
except the corner occupied by the build
ing that is used as a wareroom and
workshop, is a clear lawn space without
shrub or flower of any kind. The effect,
cleanness, neatness ana roominess
secured is in distinct contrast to the
many back yards that are crowded with
trees, flower beds, or vegetable gardens.
Down the east side Of the lot this
elongated flower bed is. filled with
lperpetually blooming roses of many
kinds. The General Jacqueminots have
been blooming since late in May, and
their big red. flowers are still coming on
at intervals, as are also those of the tit
tie white Madame Supert, which blooms
SO fast that the bush cannot get time to

grow. Along the back, roses give way
to bed Of phlox. pinks and other old
fashioned flowers, these being the es-
pecial pride Of Mrs. Duse. The east side
is filed with two-year-old June roses.
and between the side door OF the dwell
ing and the fence on the east Is the
lsixteen-foot square bed Of roses that
draws the admiration Of passers-by in
early summer. The same system is fol-
lowed in the front yard, the lawn be-
ing left clear, only the margins being
given to flowers.
Only one who loves roses can grow
them successfully, thinks Mr.. Duse, and
he accounts for his success entirely by
the fact that he takes great pride in his
flowers. handles them with affection,
and spends much time looking after
their welfare. There is a crimson RAM
bier in the front yard that has made a
growth Of nine feet this season, and a
Queen Of the Prairie rose near by made
Ia growth, being encouraged by every
effort of the owner, Of eighteen feet
during last year. This year, while there
has been a good deal Of damage to roses
by insects and worms in some parts Of
the city, there has not been worm or
bug to be found on the roses here Early
in the season they were sprayed with
strong solution of tobacco. and that, to-
gether with applications of soap suds
on wash day, has kept the rose enemies
away. AS a further precaution small
|clumps of tansy of peppermint are al
lowed to grow in the rose rows, and
these are found an excellent warming
to bugs and worms to keep out Of the
|neighborhood.
BY actual count, 800 roses were taken
rom this yard in one moring last month
and then 1t could not be seen that the
number had been greatly decreased.
LIT is considered q conservative estimate
to say that at least 10000 have bloomed
lsince May, and some Of the varieties are
still in bloom and will continue to pro-
duce flowers till discouraged by frost in
the fall.-Mebraska State Journal.

CHEAP TRANSPORTATION.

Railroads get much cussing, and
some of it they deserve. Some of it
they don't. 1t can't, for instance, fair
ly be said that they are getting excess
sive prices for their services. The In
terstate Commerce Commission shows
that the average revenue of the rail-
roads per passenger per mile in the fis-
cal year 1908 was 2o.os mills, against
2o.51 mills in the decade 1SsO-1Sss,
showing reduction Of rates. Per ton
of freight the average receipt per mile

q reduction also in the transportation

the reduction in passenger rates was
2ls per cent. and in freight rates eos
per cent. Yet in the same period, ac-
cording to the Bureau Of Labor, the
average prices of commodities largely
increased, thus enhancing the difficulty
Of paying dividends. Instead Of the de-
cline shown in the prices Of railroad
service the average OF its 2ke series Of
commodities shows an advance Of 1856
per cent. Farm products advanced 1873

4RoUBLE IN rHE rR ASsvAAL.

The Boer war IS over, but there are
still questions to be answered. Already
there are signs that the question of re-
|ligious instruction in the schools will
be productive of trouble in the Trans
vaal before very long. 1t was raised in
the Legislative Council the other day,
when motion was introduced to re-
|scind certain clause of the education
ordinance. This provides that supple
mentary religious instruction in the
usual school hours shall be given by
ministers Of religions to pupils Of their
own persuasion when parents desire It,
Simple religious instruction of an un-
dogmatic nature is included in the or
binary school curriculum. The author
of the motion pointed out that only
$50 out Of $4,000 children now receiving
instruction in the government Trans
vaal schools had ayailed themselves of
the privilege specified. He argued that
the system tended to dislocate the
school curriculum and to split the chill
dren into sects. Another speaker de-
clared that the Non-conformist section
of the community strongly objected to
the clause, while the Dutch church
would have nothing to do with it. At
the suggestion Of the colonial secre-
tary, who maintained that the clause
had not vet received an adequate trial,
the motion was withdrawn, and the
Council agreed to the appointment of
a commission to inquire into the gem
Ieral question of religious education in
government schools. III. ~.

Sad to say, some of our little brown
brothers and sisters in the Philippines
like opium, and there are also others
in the Philippines who like it. So a
law creating government monopoly of
the opium traffic is under considera-
ton by the Philippine commission, and
has been advocated as the most prac-
tical means of dealing with the evil.
But special commission that has been
investigating the subject for several
months has concluded that the traffic
should be absolutely prohibited, with
the exception Of its medical use under
very careful restrictions. The conclu-
sions Of the Philippine commission
seem at variance with those of the
commission appointed to consider the
use Of opium in thu British army in
India, about ten years ago. That COM
mission, it was said at the time, was
appointed at the instance of liquor
traffic interests that desired to restrict
the use OF opium and respondingly
encourage the use Of their own form
of stimulants. The commissions re-
port, however, was the reverse of what
was expected, and Of even what its
own members thought it would find. 1t
found that the use of opium in the
army was exceedingly moderate, as q
rule; that, as thus used, the results
were beneficial; the drug was consumed
only in minute daily doses; the users
were the soberest and most reliable
soldiers, and its effect was TO enable
them to stand greater degrees of
fatigue under stress. and to maintain
"a higher physical tone. than would
otherwise be the case.
It's the same old story, prohibition or
regulation. Perhaps some good man
will discover that Subway Opium Tav-
erns are really what are needed in the
Philippines.

Things continne to happen in KAN
sas. In Lawrence. in that State, a
woman discovered that she needed
some furniture. She bought 1t, and
agreed with the seller that she would
pay for it out Of the insurance money
when her husband died. The husband.
who was sick, got well and the furni-
ture man felt aggrieyed because he had
to repleyin the goods.
There are men who have died TO
please their dear wives. We do not
say it was the duty Of this Kansas
man to die so that his wife could have
more furniture and less trouble. We
do not know. But we cannot join with
those who think and say that the wife
didn't exhibit much "womanIiness' in
buying furniture beforehand with the
expected proceeds of his death. We
don't see but that she acted in a
most womanIy, direct and business-like
way. she wanted the furniture. Her
husband was sick. She expected him to
die and perhaps he ought to have died.
The only mistake she made was in
guessing about his health, and very
likely his doctor made the same mis-
take. 1t is pity that this reasoning
and reasonable woman wasn't able to
keep the furniture she exercised such
forethought and skill in buying. But
men will disappoint and trouble their
wives.

cnrIRTsHIP IN THIRET.

The traveller cannot fail to be struck
by the hardness and misery of the Thi-
betan woman.s lot. Among some of the
tribes, wives are secured by the simple
method of making foraging expedi-
ton on some weaker tribe and seizing
as many women as may be desired.
This practice, however boldly underta-
ken, is likely to mean the loss of seve-
raj lives, and is adopted only in cases
of the direst necessity. The following
method is more generally employed:
When a warrior. surfeited with glory,
desires a wife. he waits upon the faith
#er. OF the girl who has attracted his eye
and makes an offer Of marriage. The
father, after weighing the matter care
fully-for a refusal is liable to provoke
ia long and disastrous feud-names a
price which he thinks consistent with
the charms and general usefulness of
his daughter. Then ensues a scene Of
the shrewdest bargaining.
The wishes or inclination of the wo-
man are never consulted. but the bar
gaining goes on for days and even
weeks until a final settlement has been
ARRIVED at. The preliminary bartering
having been completed, on the day APP
pointed for the wedding the woman is
placed either In the upper yinbs Of a
tree. while her male relatives remain
on the lower branches, armed with
in the back part of her
fathers hut. while the relatives guard
the entrance in a similar manner. The
sutton rides up on his horse, arrayed in
wedding finery, and announces his In
ftention OF selling his bride. In fact
this is love-making Of the most strenu-
Gus kind, requiring ardor and courage
of the most ardent sort on the part OF
the sutton. for in order to reach his
bride he is compelled to run the gaunt-
let Of the male relatives. who beat him
numerically. If he is able to elude his
opponents and braves their chastise-
Hment, on touching the foot Of the girl
he is welcomed into the family and
Hcomplimented on the ardor of his pas.

the awkward predicament Of being both
Wireless and out Of the presents he has
made during the preliminary negotia-
tions.
Although a parent may have sold a
woman to one man, it does not prevent
his redisposfng of her to any sutton
who may come after, and who is looked
upon as legitimate husband as the
first one. All the husbands contribute
to the wife's support.-W. c. Jameson
