Four Hundred
Soldiers Killed
By Earthquake

Calcutta, b. l., Apr. s. Especially
1t appears now that 400 men of
the Seventh Gurkhas were killed at
the Dharmsala cantonment by the
collapse of stone barrack building
in consequence of the recent earth
quake. In addition, twenty mem
bers of the First battalion and fifty
members of the Second battalion OF
the FIRST Gurkhas were killed, while
it is roughly estimated that from 20
to 80 per cent Of the native popula-
tion of the surrounding villages were
killed.
In addition to the Europeans al
ready reported killed at Dharmsala,
seven children of Europeans are said
to have perished.

When the old house which had be-
longed to Squire Potter in the days of
his youth was bought Gy Sam White,
Of pOtterville, and made over into a
hotel, the proprietor was determined
that all his guests should appreciate
their good fortune.
One day he showed a dry-goods run
ner, who stopped over three trains in
Potteryille, the best room in the house.
"You can have this room for tonight,
seeing the house isn't full" he said
somewhat grudgingly, and stood in the
doorway waiting for word Of praise,
None came, and when the young man
careessly threw his coat over one chair
and placed his hat on the table and let
his umbrella rattle down to the floor,
Mr.. White felt the time for a word of
remOnstrance had come.
"See here" he said, with dignity,
"There's cluzet where you can put
those things out o. sight l guess you

John Kendrick Bangs loves music,
and for a preference Wagners operas

to catch the beat at the proper moment,

slipped the case back into his pocket

HAVE A HOTBED.

Every year demonstrates more and
more the Importance Of the hotbed in
scientific gardening. Even ON small
scale, early vegetables cannot be sue
cessfully raised without it. Its cost, in
truth, is out Of all proportion to the
good it does. Though occupying a
space only ten feet square, it will pro.
duce wonders. Several thousand Of TO.
maio or cabbage plants can then be
started for early transplnntlng. with
the addition Of Il few cold frame sashes
one is therefore able to defy the tickle
cold of late winter or early spring. In
deed, 1t is pretty safe TO say that the
use Of the cold frame is more dcsira-
bic than that OF the hotbed. 1t re-
duces the cost Of raising vegetables
to a minimum, ana even the SHOWS Of
late March cannot injure plants that
are protected by properly constructed
cold frame, while all through April
and May 1t renders them perfectly Sc.

ever should make an extensive outlay
in cold frames and hotheds at the out.

other should be constructed each year.
The cost is then divided up, ana even

actual need for.-Fred o. Slbley, in

Senator Deboe, Of Kentucky, tells
an interesting story concerning a
school teacher in his State who was
also a preacher, He loved horses and
dogs and he was the owner Of a trot-
ter with a good record for speed. One
Friday afternoon before dismissing the
school he addressed the boys thus:
"Now, boys, l suppose you know
that there will be some horse racing
tomorrow Now, don't you go to the
races. The race track is no place for
boys. But, boys, If you do go to the
races don't do any betting. 1t is not
right to wager money on horses. But
boys, il you do go and you do bet,
mind what l tell you-bet on Deacon
Abernathy's mare, This is a straight
tip"
And the mare won, too. She was the

FLOWERS on BUSuES

We want shrubs in every home place
IN America, because they furnish more
flowers for less money and care, and
Tor longer period Of years, than any
other plant, says the Garden Magazine.
True, some trees have big flowers, and
lots OF them, but they are higher up in
the air while bush is just where you
can see it and smell it. Shrubs are
more pcrmenant than "perennials," and
they are nothing like the bother an
nuals are. You plant trees for poster
ity, but shrubs for yourself also. You
get flowers the second year, If YOU nay
decent price, and If you go away for
summer the place does not look like
an abandoned home, The plain truth
is that home without shrubbery is all
wrong, Shrubbery is just as necessary
to place as clothing TO a man. Nine
times out Of ten the straight line
where a building meets the ground
should be hidden by shrubs.

the work to which reference has been

Nitrogen being the most important

LINGERIE HAT LATEST FASHION,

Among the dozens Of lovely hats
which the season is offering, the lin.

ming and becoming of all. Its slmplic-
ity and daintncss are exactly what
appeal TO women, for it is nothing but
exquisite embroidery or lace, with a
bit Of ribbon or some dainty flowers
tucked snugly away in a place where
it just gives the proper effect. They
are just suited to the dainty frocks
which the modists are turning out and
no other hat could possibly give the
effect that these do. They are made up
in colors to match the gown and some
are heavily laden with dainty flowers,
Ribbons also constitute much Of the
decoration which they display.
The Charlotte Corday hat is very like
the lingerie model, both having a ten.
dency to flop over the face. There are
many women who cannot wear these
hats at all and these, Of course, cannot
be in the height Of fashion, They are
decidedly childlsh-looklng but give a
most piquant appearance to young and
pretty women The large bow deftly
tied is sometimes the sole trimming and
they are placed directly in the middle
of the front, Black velvet is the pret-
test, especially on hat Of white lace
