Weigela Rosea.

This old Towering shrub is well de-
serving of all the praise given it by a
correspondent of Parks Floral lIaga-
zine. The only objections which can
be urged against its claim to a place
in Florida gardens, are that it is de-
ciduOuS and blooms but once a year
Still it is such a vigorous grower and
such a profuse bloomer that it should
be found in every yard which is not
too small to afford room for a general
and varied collection.
Weigela ROsea, sometimes known
as Diervilla, and sometimes as Bush
Honeysuckle, is a beautiful, hardy.

The Arrangement of Flowers.

have but little idea of the proper OF
best method of arranging them. A
contributor. to Floral Life. tells how
it should be done:
Some persons have a natural gift for
arranging flowers artistfcally, just as
some have a genius for painting. music
or poetry. The Japanese are certainly
so blessed; they do not follow our
custom of arranging flowers, but place
just one perfect blossom in a choice
receptacle, yet they have Il thousand
fancies for arranging flowers, select
ing them for certain occasions with
regard to their color and sentiment.
Those who have not the natural gift
for arranging plants and flowers may
DO much toward improving their
sense of the fitness of things by
studying Nature. She has her own
rules for the use of color, whether she
is painting Il landscape or a carnatiOn.

the great influence cOlOrs exert on

SeIectlnn Sanafnrs.

The plan adopted by the state ex- ecutive committee in regard to the selection of United States Senator's really calls for two independent con tests-the one for filling the seats now occupied, by Senators Morgan and Pct tus, the other for the filling of possible vacancies in the terms beginning in March, 1907 and 1909, respectively. If no vacancy should occur in those terms, our veteran Senators would be left free to seek succession themselves, and the voters hope there will be no vacancy.
 Public sentiment emphatically says that Alabamas two illustrious Sena- tors shall be kept in the Senate, and this decision will practically be made without dissent. The first race will therefore be uncontested, but the race over possible vacancies will be con tested to the finish. It may become hotter than the gubernatorial race.
 Until announcements are made it is impossible to say how many will enter the race for possible vacancies but public expectation will be surprised if there are not at least half a dozen aspirants, each of whom will be ex- pected to stump the state, as well as pay his pro rata share of campaign ex- penses.
 The candidates for governor, too, are to be. pledged to respect the decision of the voters in relation to suggested vacancies, and any aspirant for gov ernor who does not do this will have to get along without the aid of the off cial ballot. The plan of the committee may seem at first glance somewhat complex, but it is well fortified at all points and it will prove satisfactory in actual operation, for 1t gives the indt- vidual member of the party the free dom and the power he has long sought.
 The committee has acted wisely and its plan will be Loyalty supported by the democracy of Alabama.

 AMICABLE OUTCOME

Paris, January 10.-With the approach of the AIgeciras convention on Moroccan reforms the newspapers devote the great est space to the discussion of the ques- ton.
 Public opinion everywhere is that the issue of the conference will be amicable and war talk has practically ceased. The Journals Madrid correspondent sends an interview with the German ambassador at Madrid, Herr von Radowitz, who is also the principal German delegate to the convention The ambassador, the corre- spondent says, has no doubt of the sue cessful issue of the conference. He be- lieves the whole misunderstanding is due to the Moroccan foreign office not under standing or mistranslating the words of St. Rene Talliander, the French minister to Morocco, wilfully or otherwise, and says if the Sultan's delegates try to pre- vent an agreement being reached by the powers as it has been suggested they would do, they would find themselves In a most serious situation But the ann bassador is of the opinion that the Moroc- can delegates fully appreciate this ana will give no trouble.
 The Matin prints interviews with Duke Almodovar, the Spanish minister of for- eign affairs, and Senor Moret the span ish premier. who also express the greatest confidence in the favorable outcome Of the conference!
