last, Mr.. Brownies suspenders gave
way with a mighty snap, and their
owner was left sitting in the street,
with the car vanishing into the dis
lance, and the trousers flying wildly
from the lower step.
Naturally, the Hon. Augustus
Browne couldn't sit there in the mid
die Of the street indefinitely. Already
he had narrowly escaped garbage
cart and two short-haired ladies on BIZ
cycles. So he arose and took look
around. Excepting the loss of pair
of beautifully-creased trousers and q
large assortment Of abrasions, which
would perhaps cause him to take his
meals at the mantelpiece for a week
or so, Mr.. Browne was in pretty fail

have concealed any ravages caused by

A NEW EASTER LILY.
Crossing the Bermuda Flower with a
Philippine Species Is Successful.

If the expectations of the Depart
ment of Agriculture are realized with
experiments now going on, the price
of Easter Lilies will be much lower
next year. This will enable persons
who have been obliged 10 deny them
selves the luxury of an Easter Lily, 10
purchase this beautiful flower with
out laying themselves open to the
charge of being eXuayagant. The
high price of this spring Hover is
caused through the long growing
season of the bulb before it bursts i'll
to bloom. From the time the bulb
of the Bermuda lily is planted until
it is in full bloom is Il period OF tive
TO seven months. Florists usually
plant the bulbs in September in order
that they may he ready for the COM
lug Easter. They have always been
studying the flower with n hope Of
shortening the time of growing, for,
in greenhouses, time and space are ut
Il premium, and any shortening there
of represents Il decided gain.

last year took up this problem and
imported from the Philippines lily
resembling the common Easter lily IN
size and color, though it bears usually
only one, but ut times two flowers to
the plant. Its chief virtue, however,
lies in the fact that its growing sea-
son is but two to thite months. This
lily the department has crossed with
the common Easter lily, and the re-
suit has been Il hybrid, bearing as
many flowers as the old Bermuda lily,

Texas Sulphur Deposits.

Texas, State which claimed the at.
tention of the whole coun ry as a cat
tie State. and as a petroleum State,
will probably soon become remarkable
as a sulphur State. In the trans-Pecos
country in Ell Paso county, north of the
Texas Pacific Railroad, biologists com.
pute that there are ten million tons Of
40 per cent. native sulphur ore avail
able and almost in sight. The sulphur
area which has been explored and sur
veyed covers about ten thousand acres
and the deposit has an average thick.
ness Of nine and one-haif feet. 1t has
been recently reported that this sui.
phur field has been bought by Illinois
capitalists, who have associated with
them in the enterprise a number Of
European capitalists. At present no
railroad is near the deposits, the near
est station being Toyah, twenty miles
to the northwest. The intervening
country presents no obstacles in the
way Of railroad construction, the
grades being low.
It is calculated that the United States
annually consumes 100000 tons of sui.
phur. Much Of the sulphur used in
the United States is imported from
Italy, the tonnage brought in from that
country varying from 100000 to $50, 900
tons year. The American State which
leads in the production of sulphur is
Louisiana, but vast amount of sui
phur Is obtained from the pyrites
mines in Louisa county, Virginia. 1t
is said that the visible supply of sui
phur is SUFFICIENT for the requirements
Of trade for the next twenty years.
The sulphur trade Of the world is prac-
tically monopolized by the Anglo-Sicil-
ian Sulphur Company, Limited, Of Lon.

introduced to include the lands of the

These measures We're vigorously

One year the gardener told me that
the rose bugs threatened to work de-
struction among my choice roses. So
hit upon the idea Of hiring my two
youngsters to pick them off and de-
stroy them ten cents hundred
bugs. This worked beautifully for
short time, until suddenly there came
a devastating horde Of the pests. Dick
grasped the situation at once and sal
lying forth invited his friends to as
sist. at five cents per hundred, sub
contracting. as it were, while he did
the bossing and pocketed the profits.
