NOVELTIES IN A HOME,

Attractive Dining Room and MOOn-
 light Den For Kansas City House.
 The new residence of c. R. Hunt, Kansas City man, to be erected at 3611 Gladstone boulevard, is to be of cut stone, with slate roof and to cost $35.- GOO. says the Kansas City Star TNa house will be two stories ill height and have fourteen rooms. One of the most attractive and interesting rooms will be the dining room, which is to be wainscoted to the tops of the doors, with heavy studding to break the cell ing. The wainscoting is to be of a se- ries of vertical panels, the holdings on the panels to be of leather attached with bronze stud nails. Illumination will come from cut glass electric globes. each six inches in diameter, suspended from the ceiling. China and glass closets in the room will be made of opalescent glass, with plate glass shelves. Electric lights within will shine through.
 An octagonal library on the first floor will be paneled in oak, with a fireplace surrounded by high seats. Book shelves will extend almost entirely around the room.
 Above the library on the second floor will be den of the same form. In this the finish and lighting will be with the design of giving moonlight effect. Panels in gray tint will extend part way up the walls, the remainder of the space to the ceiling to be covered with silk squares sewed together and put on with the raw seams out. Lights placed behind partitions will shine through in greenish blue color, height ening the moonlight effect
 The foundation of the house has been completed, and the building will be ready for occupancy this fall.

LIFE AT GoLDFIELD MINES.
Miners In Nevada Town Live In Elec-
 tric Lighted Tents.

w. H. Thomas, a Denver attorney, who is interested in the mines at Gold. field, New, where the latest gold fever has broken out, recently arrived at Kansas City, Mo. He says that the camp, although only fifteen months old, has population of 10000 now.
 "The majority of the inhabitants live in tents,' said Mir Thomas to a reporter of the Kansas City Times, yet these crude dwellings are lighted by cleo tricity. Running water is another of the modern improvements furnished. While the community is without rail road, it is supplied with automobiles, big motor cars being used as stage coaches between that town and Tono- pah, the terminus of the nearest rail road
 Already stone buildings are being constructed. We have four banks and two newspapers, while the other busi- ness institutions needed in d town are already installed. So great has been the yield that prospectors have come ill droves until the country is now staked out for 100 miles around. Ore has been shipped that brings $3O,OOO ton. a phenomenal figure AS there is no railroad and the ore has to be carted twenty-six miles in wagons, nothing is shipped that bears less than . S10O ton. and thousands of tons of this are piled up there waiting for the building of stamp mills.
 Remarkable stories are told of the fortunes that have come to many. Two of the first persons in there were Har- ry Weber and Marvin Ish, newspaper men out of work. They rode the bumpers" out of Portland and went to Goldfeld because they knew mo- where else to go. Today each of those boys can write his check for half a million dollars and cash it. and they will be worth millions when their prop critics are further developed.
 One feature of the gold mining of this camp is the ease by which the ore can be had. It is close to the surface, so close in fact that men have built high fences about their mines to pre- vent persons from running away with the ore. So rich is the ore in gold that it is frequently shipped as express in- stead of freight"

SAVING SOUTHERN PINES.

Bureau of Forestry's Progress In
 Methods of Turpentining.
 The old system of boxing southern pine trees for the production of tur- pentine and resin has very greatly re duced the pine timber wealth of the southern states. says Washington dispatch. Three years ago the bureau of forestry determined that something should be done to eliminate so destruc- tive method of procuring naval stores.
 It's three years of experiments to- ward this end have demonstrated that a new system of turpentining which requires the use of earthen cups and metal gutters not only greatly con serves the life of the timber tapped, but also gives an increased yield of resin and therefore greater profit than is possible by boxing.
 The bureau of forestry feels that a still more conservative method of tur- pentining can be found which, consist ent with maximum yield of turpen- tine, will infict the smallest possible injury upon the trees. With this In view the bureau has begun an entirely new line of field experiments in order to determine to what extent the wound now made in tapping the trees can be lessened.
 Through the cooperation of land company in Jacksonville. Fla. a stand of about 10000 pine trees in Clay county, Fla. with other facilities. have, without cost to the government, been placed at the disposal of the bu- reau for experimental purposes.

 Features of an Algerian Bush to Bs
 Imported to America.
 The United States consul at Algiers sends to the state department a won. derful account of ''the soap tree of AL giers," says a Washington dispatch to the Brooklyn Eagle. This is remark able bushlike growth. the berries of which when dried possess the essential elements found in soap that we buy at the drug stores at the rate of s cents a cake.
 7 .Yhe consul reports that'ttse soap tree will grow in certain districts in the United States, so Secretary Wilson has decided to import few He will then put some of his bright young scientists at work and endeavor to cultivate the tree so that Its leaves may be used as washrags.
 If the experiments are successful they should prove great boon to the poor in the crowded cities and in con- junction with the public baths may solve the problem of the great un- washed.

 in the floor plan. Fill this bed with fertile soil, about nine inches deep. Cover the surface about one inch deep with fine sand.
 If the adjoining building is heated with steam. connection may be made with a radiator to the coil of pipes placed under the plant bed on the porch roof, as shown in Fig. 2. This may be used in cold weather to prevent freezing within the greenhouse. But in dry. sunny weather the sun will fur nish sufficient warmth to keep the house in growing condition for the plants. The entrance to the house proper must be by way of an adjoining window or door to the roof of the veranda. A drainage pipe should be arranged to the plant bed to carry away surplus water. also supply pipe for watering. The bed should not be wet so thoroughly as to cause water to run through.
 Such house requires much the same management as does a hotbed. Ven tilation is necessary on very warm days. and thorough watering at ire uuent intervals will cause the plants to grow most rapidly. Such bed will furnish early vegetables. as lettuce, radish and bunch onions in abundance during the winter In some instances the entire supply of winter vegetables has been grown in such house with a floor space no larger than lexl2 feet. Toward spring the house will also serve to grow seedlings for planting in the garden such crops as cucumbers (White Spine yarietiesl and tomatoes tLOril- lard and Mayfiower,. may take the place of the lettuce and radishes. These should begin to bear fully a month before plants set in the garden.

Simple and Easy Matter to Propa- gate Your Own Grapevines, :;
 Currants, Gooseberries, Etc.

It is very simple and easy matter to propagate your own grapevines, cur- rants, gooseberries and most ornamen- tai shrubs If little skill is used these plants may be readily propagated from cuttings made late in the autumn after the leaves are off and preferably before cold weather comes on, says writer in Farm and Home.
 Well-ripened mature wood, which has grown during the past summer, should be selected and cut into lengths of six to ten inches. The base of these should be cut sQuarely just below the bud. They can be set in the fall in nursery rows two feet apart or tied in bundles of eon- venient size, with buds all one way and stored in the cellar or buried in the ground through the winter.
 When spring comes most of the cut tings will have put on a callous where the butt comes in contact with the moist earth or sawdust. in which they have been buried. Even the roots may have started from some of them. As early as the soil can be worked and before the buds ofcttrescuttipgs begin to grow, they should be planted out in good garden soil The soil should be we'll worked, the rows lined out and the cuttings stuck at an angle of 45 degrees, down to the top bud.
 They should be given clean. frequent cultivation and hoed often to keep down all wheels during the summer. Usually an excellent growth will be made. Will lows. poplars and some other varieties of trees, Marianna and Golden Beauty plums. some varieties of quinces, spirea. privet, barberry. mock orange and most varieties of shrubs can be propagated in this way.

 : Smolka recently arrived at Harbin to look after some business connected with her regiment, and she showed a very practical business spirit in dealing with it. She had to make some impor- tant purchases. AS she possesses no female attire, she has been the butt of certain ladies at Harbin. However, she pays no attention to their remarks. Quite recently she appeared at the the ater at Harbin. She was wearing her ordinary uniform. During one of the intervals Smolka walked deliberately into the ladies' retiring room, and of course the presence of n soldier caused great deal of bother, for the ladies took the young amazon to be an officer.

SpccjsI stamps For soIdter..

The Italian government has intro duced what may be called military pie ture stamps. says the Philadelphia Public Ledger Each regiment of the Italian army is now provided with a specially designed stamp for the exclu- sive use of its own soldiers The stamp of one regiment shows the portrait of its colonel. another bears the regiment al coiors. another the regimental motto and so on. The Russian war office is adopting a similar idea. and it is be lieved that these stamps increase regi- mental esprit de corps and civilian in terest in the army.

tocol of Jan. 20, which was negotiated immediately prior to the present proto- col, but never was submitted to the senate. It is asserted by the protes- tants that President Morales of the Dominican republic is dictator and by entering into this agreement with the United States is indirectly attempt ing to cede to the United States terri tory which he fears he cannot hold. They declare further that Morales is actuated by desire for personal gain.
 Senator Platt (Conn.) objected to the consideration of the protest. contend ing that the senate has no right to re- ceive communication from citizens of a foreign country. On his objection the protest was not regarded as before the senate and was not acted on.
 President Roosevelt's message in re- gard to the Santo Domingo treaty says in part:
 II wish to call the attention of the senate at this executive session to the treaty with Santo Domingo. feel that l ought to state to the senate that the condition of affairs in Santo Domingo Is such that it is very much for the in terest of that republic that action on the treaty should be had at as early a m0nent as the senate. after giving the matter full consideration, may find practicable.
 "This treaty was entered into at the earnest request of Santo Domingo it. self and is designed to afford Santo Domingo relief and assistance. Its pri- mary benefit will be to Santo Domingo It offers the method most likely to se- cure peace and to prevent war in the island"

DOMINGO TREATY.
United States May Have to
 Take Over Territory.
a PROTEST AGAINST MORALES.
President of Republic Accused of Being Actuated by a Desire; For
 PersOnal Gain-Roosevelt's, ~. Message Emphatic.


 WASHINGTON, March 9.-The San to Domingo treaty has been practically perfected by the. senate committee on foreign relations so far as phraseology is concerned and without regard to the principles involved in the procedure proposed by the Dominican convention. The committee has progressed so far that it will take vote on the treaty to- day to determine whether the report will be in favor of ratification or rejec- tion. What that report will be cannot be determined positively. although it is believed it will be favorable. The Democrats on the committee have ex- pressed themselves as against the trea- ty fundamentally, although they took an active part in the presentation and adoption of amendments. It is expect ed that most of the Republican sena- tors will vote to report the treaty as amended.
 All of the amendments adopted by the committee are with a general aim of making the question covered stand alone and of removing all chance of it being used as precedent for like pro- -cedure in other countries under guise t6; being required by fYie Monroe dSc- Urine.
 A provision placing the employees of the United States who will be charged with carrying out the provisions of the treaty under the Dominican govern ment was amended so as to declare that such employees shall not be sub- ject to the civil and criminal jurisdic- tion of tbat republic.
 A number of rather immaterial amendments have been adopted. and it is understood that when the committee meets today it will consider some otll- CTS which senators have leave to pre- pare and submit. The probability of the treaty being brought up in the fu- ture as a precedent was discussed free ly in the committee. and it was pre- dicted that the procedure was fore runner of what may be expected to take place in regard to Venezuela. It was declared. too. that this govern .Sf1ent may have to take over the SantO Domingo country as territory of the United States.
 Discussion of the Santo Domingo treaty in executive session of the sen etc was complicated by protest sub .mitted by Senator Teller from men- bers of the Haitian and Dominican colonies in Europe. It was dated in Paris and was directed against the pro-
