Twenty Acres of Carnations.

Commercial carnation growing in the northern, middle west and eastern parts of this great country of ours has been a problem in economies. Outdoor growing in the sections nam ed IS always confined to limited times, or rather seasons, and so much of it
 has necessitated hothouse. ndjuncts that theories vanished before the att tacks of conditions, The flower is one that has always been popular, and has been cultured and specialized to all most a perfection, but never tcommer- cially satisfactory, excepting to the interested grower whose efforts be- came Temunerative upon the extreme demand and limited supply.
 To the stranger within the gates of this state the carnation growing of California becomes an object of the greatest interest and a most satisfac- tory sight. The success of the enter prise and the very simple and effect i've style of cultivation make it an- other marvel in this land of natural wonders. >.
 When E.-J. Vawter retired from the active life of banker he sought rec reation in ranching. Part of the land ill the confines of Santa Monica, the particular section Of this city claiming title as Ocean Park, he experimented with five years ago. for 8 more remun- erative crop than that of barley. A tract of about two acres was planted with pure California seeding carna- tion plants. Since then the acreage has increased to twenty, and at the close of the planting work this season the ranch will have 100000 plants in active growth Ultimately the most of q 200-acre ranch will be devoted to the cultivation of this flower " 4
 In brief, the carnation fields are yielding on an average from 5000 to 10000 flowers every day in the year, with market i'll which the demand is at all times greater than the. sup ply. The plants are perpetuating in a sense, are propagated in the open fields. cultivated with less labor than ordinary crops and are exempt from insect pests and but rarely troubled with disease, excepting ordinary fun gus attacks.
 The average life of field carna. tion varies from two to three years. New plants 4re taken in cuttings from the old ones and put directly into the ground. They take root in about four weeks. and in about ten months are ill bloom and continue to give their daily quota of blossoms until they lie out. In planting the carnations are placed in rows three feet apart and the plants two feet from each other. This permits the cultivation with horses, and after once in q healthy growth they require only watchful- ness for disease and insect pests. irri' gation about every two weeks and daily picking.--Los Angeles Times.

To show how small a speck Con- necticut is on a big world, it is worth resenta tion from the editorial columns of the Kansas City World: "Con- necticut having decided not to have an exhibit at the worlds fair, many may never know how wooden nutmegs are made" Here in Connecticut no cor rection of this fib is necessary. As for westerners, they will have a chance to see for themselves, when at the fair, that Connecticut is better represented there than many larger and wea1thier state. It may not be stretching the truth, also, to affirm that the man who started the above misrepresentation regarding Connecti- cut is as inexcusable as the man who first foisted a fraudulent nutmeg upon honest people.

It Is objected from some quarters that the enforcement of the antitrust law as interpreted by the supreme court would work havoc among the railroads of the country, and that it Is much better to accept accomplish ed facts than to disturb the carrying trade. of this continent, says one writer. MT Roosevelt did not swear to enforce the reasonable laws of the United States, but ''the laws of the United States,' and MT Knox took the same oath. They are no judges of what laws are reasonable and what are not, except that MT Roosevelt can set man free from Imprisonment, if he thinks the law under which he has been convicted is an unreasonable one. He has no dispensing power, such as James IT, claimed with regard to the English laws. If Mir Roosevelt or MT Knox cannot conscientiously enforce the law as the supreme court has sus- tained and interpreted 1t, then their simple duty is to lay down the offices they hold, and thus exempt them selves from the obligation of the oath they have taken. But before MT Roosevelt takes that step, let him re call the saying of. much greater president than he: 9'The best thing to do with bad law is to enforce it.''

Plans for. the minting exhibit at the St Louis exposition were discussed in Washington recently by Chief Clerk Hills, of the treasury department. and Superintendent Church of the Pbila- delphia mint, who will have charge of the exhibit. The exhibit will be on 8 greater scale and more complete than has ever before been attempted. This IS made possible only by the fact that new mint is being equipped at Den. yer. The machinery therefor, which Is produced in the, east, will be sent to St Louis and exhibited there, and then sent to the Mountain city. The entire process of minting will be shown. and instead of turning out money, medals will be minted, which will be sold as souvenirs.

Japan is making the last stand of Asia. If it fails, Asia ceases to be q separate integer in human develop ment, and becomes an appanage of Eu- rope, says a magazine writer. If Japan wins, it has wrestled well and overthrown more than its enemies. It will become the teacher, first of China and then of. a wider Asia. Japanese education wisely retains Chinese as it's classic tongue playing the part i'll. the training which Greek and Latin play, or did play, In our own scheme of lib
 eral study. It's administrators and officers are alone in knowing both Chi nese classics and modern science. They are ready for their task. They have already begun it. The prestige of vic tory will give them authority and ac- ceptance in remodeling China. Japan, after all, is alone in raising an Asiatic state toS free self-government. It's in- stitutions are less like ours than they seem on the surface. Prescription plays the prodigious part it always has in Asiatic society. The sense of per sonal loyalty to the emperor is strong to degree no European, much less an American, can appreciate or under stand. That singular attitude of mind which permits what to us seems abase- n1ent in attitude, ceremony and actions. and yet preserves a complete self-re- snecf fS retained bv tha Iananase
 They vote, they have parties, they practice an amazing freedom of speech in Japan, but at the final limit political action is bounded and controlled by iIl- fuences and principles unknown and alien to the west, but perfectly com

Patchouli, known for it's penetrating odor, is derived from the leaves of the tropical herb, pogostemon patchouli. The plant in its wild state is found in East India, but, is now also cultivated. The supply of leaves for the perfume in dustry comes mainly from Java and different sections of the Malacca penin- sula: also from Cukol island, near Singapore.
