SuRar and Tobacco.

The proposal being made to secure
the reduction Of the duty on Philippine
sugar and tobacco promises to bring
on another fight similar to the sugar
war over Cuban reciprocity. It is pro-
posed now to lower the tariff on sugar
and tobacco coming from the Philip
pines Is per cent although it is un-
derstood that Secretary Taft proposes
to continue fight from session to ses-
sion Of Congress until free Philippine
sugar and tobacco are secured. In
this connection it is interesting to
know the great and varied develop
ment which is going on in beet sugar
Affairs. In fact, strong argument
which the beet sugar people advance
why Philippine sugar production
should not be unduly stimulated is
that If the beet sugar industry is CIV
en- a reasonable period, say Of ten
years, the industry will be upon such
basis where it can stand alone. No
less an authority than Secretary Will
son himself is credited with this be-
lief and the statement that it will be
possible to produce beet sugar in this
country at 2 cents pound.

Garden Hints.

Study the seed catalogues
Sow peas as soon as the ground can
be worked.
Now will you be good and test your
seeds?
Cherries and plums should be
among the trees grated earliest.
An earliest green eating onion" is
one Of the new things of 1905.
Trimming time"-the milder days
Of late winter and early spring.
"Prune when the knife is sharp but
never when the wood is frozen.
Lettuce and radish seed can 60 into
the ground as soon as the surface can
be scratched.
Flowing the garden when the
ground is wet makes bad work. Bet
ter a good Job few days delayed.
Farm Notes.
Spring trimmed trees produce the
most suckers.
Wasteful feeding may mean too
much or too little.
Farming is poor business when the
farming Is poor.
One way to increase the profits In
farming is to reduce the cost Of pro-
ductton.
The early killed is the easy killed
weed and the weed that robs the crop
the least.
But few plants will thrive In wet
soil. A good drain IL sometimes better
than manure.

The Sitting Hen.
Eggs intended for early sitting
should be gathered at least twice a
day and kept where there will be no
danger Of chilling. Hens that want
to sit early in the spring are apt to
be rather unreliable and should be al
lowed to become thoroughly started
over a nest OF china eggs before be-
ing intrusted with valuable sitting.
When a hen really means business,
her skin feels hot and feverish, and
she usually sheds few feathers from

WOULD PREFER A NATIVE.
Commissioner Larrinaga Disappointed
at Mr.. Feuille's Appointment.

Mr.. Larrinaga, the resident commissioner
of Porto Rico. is much disappointed at the
recent promotion of Frank Feuille, assist
ant attorney general of Porto Rico, to be
attorney general of that government. Com
missioner Larrinaga made a strong appeal
to the American government for the APP
pointment of a native Porto Rican to the
office. He claims that there are many able
men of high standing and great learning
and experience who could have been ap-
pointed to the position. The experiment of
filling the Office with an American the COM
missioner considers failure, for there have
been five ncumbents of the position in less
than five years. Including the necessary
summer vacations taken in this country,
this gives an average of only several
months to each attorney general in coun-
try where he is not familiar with the laws,
language and customs
The commissioner contends that the For
aker act perhaps a necessity of the
moment from an American point of view,
the state of affairs at the time being con-
sidered But he also contends that the APP
plication of the law has been carried far
thinks, could never have desired that the
discretion given to chiefs of the depart
ment should be exercised in so arbitrary a
manner to appoint to office in every case
men whom the majority of the people deem
unfit for the public service.
The minimum of five native Porto Ricans
to be members of the executive council has
come to be a fixed rule, which the COM
missioner believes is contrary to the spirit
of the law. The Foraker act designed to
be a temporary one according 10 it's title
has become the permanent law of the land
which the commissioner believes the pres
ent circumstances do not justify.

a firm sole. The woman who should
begin a weeks walk wearing high heel
ed, narrow toed shoes would find heI
feet giving out the first day. The best
footwear for walking is a pair of boys
canvas shoes with leather over the
toes and heels These shoes are not
very heavy or stiff; the soles give plen<
ty of room, for the toes and the heels
are broad and low; the high tops lace
up snugly at the ankles, making the
ideal footgear for a tramping tour.
Every bit of--the- clothing should be

longer. fierce and hot. the walker can
travel bafeheaded much of the time,
to the great benefit of her hair. The
past summer thousands of women al
the mountain and seaside resorts went
without any head covering most of the
time.
A good walking stick, long and
strong, is a valuable aid. No hand baa
should be carried unless it is a very
light one, such as the Japs make OF
woven straw. Only the fewest essen
tials = night wrapper, combs and
brushes and an extra pair of stockings
need be taken. The. rest of the lug
gage should be sent by rail or othez
conveyance to a point where a con-
siderable stop is made. Better than
even the straw hand bag is simply a
large square of oiled silk or rubbeH
cloth, in which the necessary toilet ar
ticles. may be wrapped and confined
with a shawl strap. This small, light
parcel may be carried with strap ovea
the shoulders. A road map should be
taken along. A light lunch may be
carried from day to day in a paste
board box or the jacket pocket. The
main meal is best taken in the evening
after the days journey is over. The
heaviest walking should be done in the
forenoon, getting an early start.
Before undertaking the long tramu
one should practice walking consider
able distances each day for some time.
Begin with two or three miles If un.
accustomed to tramping and gradually
extend the distance. The first day o.
the tramping tour walk during the
forenoon, but be careful not to overdo
at the start. The distance may be
heightened as one becomes seasoned
to walking.

about three hours or even four at mid

Not any account of-American women

half the story. however, if it failed to

DUTIES OF A BEST MAN.

In old days the bridegroou's best mau
had more arduous duties than today.
Now they have resolved themselves in
a much simpler list of responsibilities.
He used to have to propose the health
of the bridesmaids at breakfast Now
that there is generally no breakfast and
only one toast. at the most he is re-
leased from this performance
:. However, something still remains to
him. He is expected to take all cares
off the hands of the bridegroom, who is
supposed to be in too agitated or ab-
sorbed state of mind to attend td
them himself; he must support him
with his presence from the early morn
of the auspicious day till all Is over.
He is responsible for bringing ths
happy man in time to the church and
making sure that he has the ring safely
about him, ready to be produced at the
proper moment.
He stands beside him at that trying
moment when the bride is due. but has
not yet made her appearance. He
takes charge Of his hat and puts ID
where it will be in security.

WING to her wealth and So
cial prominence, the expert
woman whip best known in
~ America is probably Miss
Giulia Morosini, daughter of Jay
Gould's former business partner. She
owns certainly the most gorgeous and
costly carriages and harness sets and
some of the finest matched teams in
the country.
Miss Morosini's fondness for horses
is more than a fad-it is a devotion.
She owns twelve driving horses, all of
the purest Kentucky blood. She her
self goes to the blue grass region, Sc
lects and purchases her horses, and not
one of them costs less than $4,000.
Having conveyed them home, she her
self again trains them. She never al
lows any human being to drive them
but herself.
This Italian American young wo-
man practically lives behind her horses
during the daylight hours. Her home
is at Riverdale, on the Hudson. little
north of New York city. Near her
house is the speedway, one of the noted
driving tracks of America. 1t lies along
the pretty Harlem river, and there the
New York city owners of fast trotters
exercise the animals.
= On the speedway is done much of
Miss Morosini's driving. In the morn
ing at Z o'clock she is already out, tax
ing her father to the railway station
She returns and at 10 goes for another
drive. She generally takes, in pleasant
weather. three or four drives every day,
using each time different horses, in
order to exercise them all. For the 10
o'clock drive she takes out often what
is called the unicorn, or spike team. 1t
consists of three horses. two abreast
and single one in front. She also has
another three horse team, one in which
the animals are driven abreast. Miss
MOrosini is the only woman having a
permit to drive three horses on the
speedway. No other woman has ever
been elected a member of the Speed
way Driving association. She has done
much for this association. Every
spring. the organization has a speed
way parade in which its members COM
pete with one another in exhibiting
handsome and novel carriages and har-
ness and beautiful well trained horses
and in making display of grace and
dexterity with the whip and reins At
the last parade Miss Morosini won the
championship ribbon for the most ar
tistic and novel horse turnout She was
also specially thanked for her assist
ance in making the show successful
Not long ago the young lady herself
presented to the Road Drivers asso-
citation a silver cup, to be competed for
in annual speedway races
aGiulia Morosini has raised driving to
the realm of fine art. She owns five
carriages and two Russian sleighs. The
carriages are all of her own designing
and are the most splendid that money
can buy. Many of the numbering old
state coaches of former kings in Eu--
rope cost less than some of the We
aicles of this American girl. For one
sf the three abreast carts, with the
harness, she paid $4,000. The fair
