How Large Tracts Of Useless Land
May Be Turned to Good
Account.


The gathering Of wild flowers
tor the city market is largely the
work of Italians, who make it a
regular business. A writer in the
Plant World sees in the demand
Tor wild things from the country a
new industry, that of raising wild
flowers on their native soil.
with proper care, patch of
trailing arbutus might bqmade to
yield "A little annual income, and
So might a patch of cardinal-hOw-
err, or fringed gentiOn, or column
bine, or some of the many native
orchids.
~Transplating and fostering
young plants, distributing the
seeds and discretion in harvest
ing-in a word. aiding instead of
thwarting nature-could not fail
in valuable financial results. Just
as large tracts of once useless land
on the Maine coast now yield some
thing like SIS an acre from the
yearly cutting Of Young fir trees
for the Chris tmas season, and just
as acres of undrained swamp in
Michigan are now utilized for the
growth and production of pepper
mint. so might the sand-barren and
the peat-bOg and even the stag
nant pool be made TO yield a wealth
of flowers with an economic, an
educational and an csthetic value.
The demand of high schools
alone makes a good market. Some
of the larger high schools receive
material literally by the barrel.
unless there be some rational way
of supplying this demand. the
study of botany, according to pres
ent laboratory methods. will de-
feat its own purpose; for as now
carried on in many places it is a
SeriOuS cause of the devastation
of some of the most interesting
native plants.
I'm The work of cultiyating wild
flowers the trainingand experience
Of the college girl would be of in
estimable value. Her hower-farm
might cooperate with high school
work. not only by her providing
material, but by her adding de.
scriptions and photographs of the
various habitats of the specimens
used. When a pupil knows that
his columbine was one of IA group

vastly more than Il Columbine in

Not till the property owners

by the laWlcSS collector cease. In
France one must pay to enter GER
tain preserves where the scarlet
anemoneS grow. and then he may

save the wild flowers, but would

tent did this fear lay hold of his mind
that he found himself all at once TAX
ing the most gloomy view Of the affair.
Perhaps the old man had allowed his
broad sympathies to draw him into
heavy Endorsements for other people
until his entire business depended on
the outcome of the venture in wheat.
Perhaps-George's heart sank lower

Presently H1llyer came back, his face

said, and then he sat down at his desk.

draw sheet of paper to him and dip

loudly laughing at some mishap, and
Hanks slouched after him. - Hillyer

that he and George were alone, but he
said nothing. Half an hour passed,

Of Laekawanna Railroad Operated Now
 by the Road.
 A further indication of the progress sive policy of the present management of the Laekawanna railroad is given in the news that on october 15 the road will begin the direct operation of it's lighterage department. Heretofore this department has been owned and. opera ted, under contract with the Lackawan- na, by John H. Starin, and while the relations between the railroad company and MT. Starin have been most satis- factory and the service performed un- der the direction of the railroad has been substantially equal to anything of like character fn the harbor, the Lack awanna management has deemed it de- sirable to acquire, by purchase, the di- rect control of it's lighterage business. The move is in keeping with the well known policy of the Lackawanna, under the, present management of adopting the most up-to-date methods in handling it's business, and is one that is likely to command the universal commendation of the shipping public.

 The ladies are enjoying the voting contest for the presidential candidates at this theater, and the exhibition of the wax life size figures of candidates in the lobby attracts lots of favorable comment. The famous Champagne Dancers who were the hit of the Silver Slipper production are the headline Of this weeks bill.
 MT. and Mrs. Gardner Crane gave as pretty and artistic sketch as mas been seen here this season. It is en- titled Am Your Wife?n and is found- ed upon the twin brother idea.
 Potter and Hartwell in acrobats and balancing feats had a surprise in store for the audience. One plunges through a barrel while both have feats of bal- ancing that simply seem impossible if they were not performed in front of ones very eyes. Mir. and Mrs. Allison in Minnie from Minnesota, Eckhoff and Gordon, Leroy and Woodford. a conversational duo, and Al Carleton in songs, parodies and stories came in for lots of the applause.

 The committee on legislation report ed various conferences with this com mission. and that the representatives of the Oyster Growers association were working in harmony with this commits sion The sentiment was unanimous in the meeting that it is desirable to cul- tivate cordial and neighborly relations with those engaged in the industry in the adjoining states, and that legisla- tion which will promote such relations would be approved. The communiea- tion from the interstate commission as sured the oyster Growers association that the commission would not recona- mend any legislation which was not approved by the association.
 Other matters were discussed at length. New members were admitted to the association os follows: F. c. Homan, Captain Frank Rowley and Captain F. D. Brown of New Haven, Frank Miller of Bridgeport, F. s. Beardsley of Stratford and H. Fletcher Fordham of Greenport, Long Island

TAPS"

Taps, one of the strongest plays of the season will be given at the Hyperion Saturday, matinee and evening. The Evening Sun says: Its first produc- ton in English at the Lyric theater Saturday night was an artistic triumph for both Herbert Kelcey and Fife shannon. Miss shannon's portrayal of Clara, the German sergeant majors erring daughter was remarkable for its womanliness and power. There was scarcely flaw in her performance, To MT. Kelcey fell the harder task, to be sure, for in the gruff old seargent ma jor he had a role so virile and so wide in it's emotional scope, that only char acter actor of the first water could have done full justice to it. In the court room scene, where the sergeant major first learns from her own lips of his daughters downfall, his acting was sincere, heartfelt and convincing.
