:. GIANT; LILY. OF INDIA


Massachusetts. Mr.. Fischer Of the
Boston Gardeners and Florists club
grew the one here illustrated from seed
sown in 1891. which howered In 1902.
The flower spike, over seven feet high,
carried ten large, very odorous flowers
that kept their good looks for nearly
three weeks
The plant may attain height Of ten
or eleven feet, according to the botan-
lists, and as the large bottom leaves are
sometimes foot In length It's effect is
very imposing. The white flowers are
ttnged with green on the exterior and
are purplish within and are about half
foot in length. A partially shaded
and moist situation in soil composed
of loan, leaf mold and sand was found
by Mr. Fischer to suit the lily. Being
hardy, as already stated, it's culture
should not be difficult. The initial ex-
pense Of the bulb is considerable. It
was originally introduced from the
Himalayas into England about fifty
years ago.

Paris March 1.-THE criminal
branch Of the court of cessation has
granted The appeal Of Alfred Dreyfus
for q revision of his trial at Rennes.
The court held that sufficient
showing had been made to warrant a
reopening Of the case and ordered q
supplementary Investigation for tie
purpose Of establishing all the doubt:
full points which have been the basis
for tho present application to reopen
the case.
The decision is another marked sue
cess for Dreyf1s, although it is not yet
Anal owing to the extended supple
mentary investigation which must fol-
low the courts decision.
This decision from the highest tribu-
nal in France goes long way to-
wards the complete rehabilitation of
Dreyfus, the subsequent steps being
generally regarded as formalities for
carrying out this favorable attitude of
the court.
Tho decision was given at the close
Of the third days hearing. Compare
lively little public interest has been
taken in the sessions of the court and
the courtroom was almost deserted,
there being less than fifty persons
present at the final session. Among
these were Maitre Labori, the famous
lawyer who defended Dreyfus at
Rennes, and several members Of the

All That. Hangs Over.

Some people seem to be slow to learn
that all of a tree and all the fruit it
bears over on another lot ! belongs to
the man over the line just as complete
" as if the tree stood over on his land.
This is not only statute law: Of every
state, but it is just and right All that
extends over the line, root and top, be-
longs to the man that owns the: land.
He may if he chooses. cut away all the
branches that hang over the line. He
may il he chooses cut away ali the
roots that extend through on his land.
From time immemorial this has been
the law. All reasonable men can see
the justice Of it. All honest men can
see the import of it and will approve
of the law
