ODD TRAIT OF MANKIND.

Human Nature Ever Prone to Get
Something for Nothing.
Human nature may be more pro.
ductively worked than a gold mine Il
you know right method.
General Manager Chapman, Of the
Indianapolis and Eastern Electric
Railway, recently utilized his knowl-
edge Of human nature in a novel way.
His company had park, the soil Of
which it wanted to pillow up and pull
verize thoroughly at small cost, at the
same time attracting some traffic to
the park. 1t therefore buried $500 In
gold coin In various parts of the park
and threw the place open to any pat-
ron of the street cars that wished to
dig, prescribing only that none but
small hand implements should be used.
The plan worked admirably. The
cars were thronged with amateur min
ers and by the time all the coin was
found the entire surface of the park
had been loosened up and reduced 10
powder to an extent that no landscape
gardener ever saw eQualed. The street
car company got its $500 back In fares
and at the same time got it's park
thoroughly plowed for nothing.
Many will tenderly recall the old
school reader story Of the dying father
who called his sons to his bedside and
informed them that, though the old
farm he was about to leave them was
worn out and had become unproduct.
i've, there was buried somewhere upon
it great treasure and If they would
persistently dig for it they would sure
ly find rich reward. The sons digged
and digged and digged, turning the
old farm upside down and inside out,
and, though they found no sign Of the
gold they expected, their harvests of
grain became enormous and their re-
ward was richer than they knew.
Through some popularity in our con-
struction we are willing to work ten
times as hard Ito get something for
nothing" as to earn it Il ordinary
ways.-Atlanta Journal.

HUNTING THE SEA OTTER.
How Aleuts Procure One of the Mos
Valuable Fur Skins.

Hew Aleuts Procure One of the Most
Valuable Fur Skins.
No landsman's still hunt affords
the thrilling excitement the otter
hunters spearing surrounds, says the
Outing Magazine. Fifteen or twenty
i've little skin skiffs, with two or
three men In each, paddle out under q
chief elected by common consent
Whether fog or clear, the spearing II
done only in calm weather.
The long line of bidarkas circles 81
lently over the silver sea. Not q
word is spoken. Not a paddle blade
allowed to click against the bone
gun'els Of the skiff. Double bladed
paddles are frequently used, SO shift
Of paddle is made from side to side Of
the canoe without a change Of hands
The skin bidarkas take to the water
as noiselessly as the glide Of q duck.
Yonder. where the powders lie mile
on mile awash in the surf, kelp rats
forests of seaweed-lift and fall
with the rhythmic wash of the tide.
Hither the otter hunters steer, 81
lent az shadows. The circle widens,
deploys, forms a Gordon round the
outermost rim Of the kelp fields. Sud-
denly a black object is seen floating
on the silver surface Of the water-a
sea otter asleep. Quick as fash the
ateersman lifts his paddle. Not q
word Is spoken, but so keen Ia the
hearing Of the sleeping otter the drip
OF the lifted paddle has not splashed
into the sea before the otter has
awakened, looked, dived like light
ming to the bottom before one of the
alert hunters can hurl his spear.
Silently. not whisper, the steers
man signals again. The hunters de-
ploy in circle half a mile broad
around the place where the sea otter
disappeared, for they know that in
fifteen or twenty minutes the animal
must come up for breath, and it can
not run farther than half a mile un-
der the sea before it reappears.
Suddenly somebody sees a round
black red head poke above water, per-
maps close to the line Of watchers.
With a wild shout the nearest bidar-
kas dart forward. Whether tho spear
throw has hit or missed. the shout has
oene enough. The terrified otter
alves before it has breath. Over the
second diving spot hunter is station
co. and the circle narrows, for the Of
Ter must come up quicker this time.
1t must have breath. Again and
again the little, round, rufous head
peeps up. Again the shout greets 1t!
Again the lightning dive! Sometimes

ROSES BEAUTIFY AND INSPIRE.
The decorative value of roses is too we'll known
to require further comment. No flower is more
generally satisfactory as climber, for single
bedding, border edging than an appropriate
variety of rose.
A tumble-down, old two-story cabin sitting
away from the haunts of man was sold to an
artist last June for sum three times its actual
worth, simply because this antique structure
was almost completely EMPOWERED with roses
white, yellow pink and deep, rich red.
Those roses were worked into theatrical seen
cry, all sorts of fresco work, wall papers, oils
and water color studies, besides china. Paul de
Longpre would have. been madly enthusiastic
about their decorative and unusual beauty for
Natures caprices had not been undone by a
landscape gardener.
T. is undoubtedly true that hybrid perpetuals
and hardy climbers and moses give the best gen.
eral satisfaction. In choosing site, care should
be taken that it is both sunny and airy and
the ground rich and we'll drained. A heavy
or clay subsoil is particularly adapted for roses
and for enriching it nothing is so good as well
rotted manure
Sandy soil is almost as good as clay, but on
the other hand, requires more manure
When planting roses they should be set in
deeper than they were in pots. This will give
the roots greater play, make them sturdier. and
new soil may be added top of the roots,
thus covering the old soil After planting it is

of manure. This will be all the fertilizing they
will require for the first year; after that the

THE RIGHT KIND OF A. START
It is best to dig hole four feet square and
four feet Deep or make it even deeper than four

PESTS AND THEIR FINISH.

Roses in perfect health and of sturdy growth
are less likely to be afflicted with pests than
those that have been neglected and stunt u.
The best and easiest way of keeping pests

spider, spray underneath. the plant. Hellebore

The aphis or green fly is easily destroyed by
