The Amateurs Window Garden.

If you have a bit of back ward or a
window sill that occasionally or more
often gets a bit of sun you are, of
course, interested in gardening. This is
the time of year for the amateur. All
year around Is for the real gardener,
but spring is the season par excellence
for the woman with a hoe who wishes
to work marvels with the aid of a few
packets Of seed and a great deal of
hope.
1t is well to know when to plant and
how to plant it, but it is even more
important to know exactly which flow
ers will grow in the sunshine and
which ones will die if they have no
shade. If you have a shady window
and love pansies you are in luck for
they do not like too much sun on their
velvet heads. If you have little time
to water them, and no time to thin
them out by picking every day. don't
try to grow sweet peas, for although
they are the most grateful of flowers,
and we'll repay proper care, and are an
everlasting joy ito the eye with their
wonderfully varied colors, they de-
mand a certain amount of a certain
kind of care, and without 1t they will
go to seed, and ones spring work is
undone in few days.
Suppose your windows face north or
east. Shade-loving plants should be
chosen. Have a small box placed on
either side Of the window ledge for
climbing plants to train around the
window, and a third box in the center
for a bright, sweet-scented flower.
This is very effective window deco
ration, and seems quite like a real gar
den when everything is in full bloom.
In the side boxes plant Virginia
creeper and Clematis Jacmanni. These
will grow rapidly, and may be easily
trained to arch over and form a COM
plete curtain of greenery studded with
deep purple flowers.
In the center box have fuchsia, hell
otrope, musk, hardy ferns, wild prim-
roses, wood anemoneS, saXifrages and
house leek.
Once the garden is in order it will
require but a few minutes care every
evening to keep it in good condition.
Plenty of water should be given to 1t
at all times, and an extra bath should
be given on very warm days. Dried
leaves and dead blossoms should be
removed as soon as they appear. In a
sunny window almost anything will
grow providing it gets lots of water
and gentle treatment. Morning gloFies
if planted now will twine around the
window before the Fourth Of July, and
sweet peas, nasturtiums, geraniums
and gilly-f1owers will make a gay
showing. Window boxes should be
gay. They are supposed to be CHEEKY
ornament. Sad colored flowers and
dull looking plants are not to be
thought of for moment If one can
induce gay ones to bloom on ones own

AND PILOTS
GIVE THEIR SIDE
Owners of Flfty-four Lake Vessels Said
la to Have Signed Contracts.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 14.-At the
headquarters Of the Masters and Pilots
association today 1t was stated that up
to date contracts have been signed by the
owners Of fifty-four steam vessels of the
great lakes, the agreements all provid
ing for the wage scale submitted by the
masters and pilots. 1t was added that
these contracts are arriving by nearly
every mail. District Captain Paul How
ell, of the Masters and Pilots association
today gave out a reply to the statement
made last night by President Livingstone,
Of the Lake Carriers association. Mr..
Howell said:
iF''We were to have had an early meet
ing with the lake carriers in the spring,
but instead it was delayed until nearly
time tosstart some of the boats. Since
our first meeting with them they have
done all in their power to delay matters
and not come to an agreement. If the
season can be shortened a better demand
would be created for their boats and
higher rates made possible. The vessel
owners with one or two exceptions would
like the struggle prolonged"

FIRE SMOLDERS
IN TRUNK FACTORY
Policeman Locates Blaze After Search
and Calls Department.

Fire, which started early last even
ing in the basement of the building oc-
cupied by the Peoples Trunk factory,
143 East Fifth street, smoldered three
hours before it was discovered. The
smoke which escaped from the building
was first noticed by Patrolman Sven
son, who finally located It's source and
turned in the alarm at 1920 o'clock.
The fire, the origin of which could
not be learned last night, was con-
fined to the basement, where a quanti-
ty of material was stored, but the
smoke did considerable damage to the
stock, stored on the main floor. The
loss is estimated at 5000. The factory
is conducted by G. L. Bisenius.

What Is an Acre /?

The unit Of measure OF land surface
in the United States Is the acre. Ev-
cry experienced farmer carries in his
minds eye a clear idea as 10 the size
OF an acre. He knows just how many
bushels Of seed II takes to SOW an
acre; and he pays his hired hands and
sets his daily task for himself by the
acre. Yet, strange to say, IL is i'm
possible to lay of a perfectly square
acre OF land.
In one square acre there are 1850
square feet. BY the application of
square root we find the length OF the
sides Of square acre to be about POS
feet s sl-l00 inches, ineal measure.
Then POS. Tl0323g7 times POS. Tl032097
equal 43,559.99933 plus square feet.
Once more: Dos. 7l032645 multiplied by
itself win equal 43,560.00036 square
feet, which is a small fraction greater
than the required amount. The ex-
act difference between the two prod
ucts given Is very small, in fact, In
significant, but nevertheless II would
become noticeable If we should use
these figures In acres OF great bodies
OF land. In an equal degree our dry
and liquid measures also are unsatis-
factory when We try to reduce them
10 their equivalent terms in feet and
and inches. Fractions or decimals a.
ways remain. This is all due 10 the
fact that our systems Of measurement,
except for money, were not scientific
ally devised. a lineal foot was an
ciently supposed to be the length OF
the foot Of the reigning king. How
we got our quart and bushel nobody
knows for sure, but they probably
once indicated the amount an average
could drink at a quaff or carry of at
one load.
There are none of these errors and
incongrulties in the metric system.
The different measures OF this system
can be reduced from one 20 another
without annoying fractional surpluses
and remainders. When once learned
the metric system affords the easiest
and most practical way 10 take meas
urements. 1t is gradually being
, adopted by all civilized nations The
United States has authorized its use
| In certain departments Of the govern.
ment. In porcess of time il Is pFoba-
bile that this system viii be the one
generally used by all the people.

THE INDIAN

Senator William NJ. Stewart, Of Ne
vada, and chairman OF the committee
OF Indian affairs, was recently In the
territory. During his stay the sena-
tor asked many questions about gem
eral conditions, and offered numerous
suggestions which he hopes congress
will act upon during the coming short
session.
When asked about his opinion as TO
the best way 20 handle the Indian
question he replied: ~ believe all re-
strictions should be removed, and per-
nit Indians TO sell all excepting the
homestead. II might be well TO allow
them To sell on long time payments,
say for twenty or twenty-five years,
and In this way the Indian would be
learning valuable lessons from the
white man. He would be fully pro
tected and would receive sufficient
money from deferred payments TO
keep himself and family"
