A WILD-FLOWER GARDEN.
The Garden Soil Must Be Thoroughly Enriched Before Plants Are
 Brought from Woods.

If you will try with a determina- tion to succeed you will see decided change in week, and in six weeks an entirely brand new sort of a girl will emerge to startle the world.
 Can you imagine yourself this brand. new girl with smooth, round throat. a good complexion, full chest, broad shoulders, hips and waist just the right proportions and your general appear ance one of beauty and joy forever?
 It will be fad this year, as one result of an early spring, for anna teur flower lovers to plant, for the admiration of their friends, gardens of wild flowers, transplanted from the woods. Many of the plants found in the woods and fields nave foliage and flowers as beautiful as the highly eul- tivated kinds. With the first touch of spring. before the snow and ice has disappeared from the more densely shaded places. the fl-st wild flowers begin to bloom. and there is a constant succession of gay blossoms. lncreas- ing in splendor. until late in Septem- Der, when many of the wild flowers are at their bsst.
 By making trips to the woods at va rious seasons, the flower lover may transplant such specimens of each va riety as pleases bis fancy. At home a bed should be prepared for them. placed where the plants have some protection from the hot sun. and be watered regularly. The soil should De thoroughly enriched with xell-rotted manure. or some commercial fertiliz. CT. It is best to plant the wild fiow- CTS as a border. with all varieties mixed. as most of them are perennials and it will be unnecessary to repiant the border yearly. except to replace those that die. Owing to the different towering seasons of the various varie- ties. if the bed is we'll furnished with many sorts there will be constant sue cession of bloom all the summer. It is best to begin working the ground for the bed as soon in the spring as it is dry enough. The transplaated flowers should be carefully and regu- Iarly xatered until they are well es- tablished- Afterwards 1t Is only nee esary to keep the weeds out The seeds of many of the best wild flowers >an be purchased of the seedsnen

As YOU LIKE II.
Some Stray Leaves From a Reporters
 Note Book.

Madam" said the bank cashier to the young woman who had called b draw her interest, II don't doubt that this is your signature and per sectly correct, but you will pardon me for saying it doesn't resemble in the slightest degree the signature you wrote in your book when yoll opened an account here. It is best to adopt certain style and stick to It." ''1he idea" she exclaimed. Why, I've changed my style of writ Ing half dozen times since I began to deposit in your bank.
 The average educated man gets $1,000 per year. He works forty years, making a total of $40,000 ill lifetime. The average day laborer gets $1.50 per day, 300 days in the year, or $450 per year. In ten years he earns s4,500, or $18,000 in life time. The difference between $40.- 900 and $18,O00, or $22,000, equals the value of an education in dollars. To acquire this earning capacity re- Quires twelve years of school of 1S0 days each, or total of 2,160 days. Divide $22,000, value of an education, by 2,160, number of days required in getting it, and we find that each day at school is worth a little more thaa $10 to the pupil
 ..There are some men, said q health officer, "who buy from hotels all their used tea leaves. These they dry and put OH the market again as fresh tea. As matter of fact there is still a good deal of strong tea-- plus a good deal of tannin-in these used leaves. They make as black and bitter a brew as the greatest tea 5ienl would want to drink. But such a brew is unwholesome, for the percen- tage of tannin in it is much larger than in an ordinary cup of tea. Used tea leaves are easily made to resemble fresh ones. They are drid on hot iron plates, the heat of which curls them up nicely, giving them a natural ap- pearance. A cup of this secOnd-table tea refreshes you tremendously, but afterward your mouth is drawn up as if you had been sucking alum

 An old negro went to the bank in which he kept his hard earned saw ings, says Harper's Weekly, and asked the paying teller to give him all the money he had deposited. He offered no explanation of his sudden desire to withdraw his funds, and after vain argument with him the teller counted out the bills and deliv- cred them to the old man. He eyed the paper money moment and said: Kin I git dat in silver, boss?" The teller assured him he could, and forthwith made the exchange. The old negro retired to neighboring desk, remained crouched over it a long time, and then, to the teller's great surprise, returned to the win dow and gleefully thrust his money back through the pigeon hole. Be- fore he could speak the old man said, grinning widely: Thanks, boss: you kin take it back. I jes wanted t see eff it wuz all there"

MEAslEs AND SCARLET FEVER
Have Been Prevalent in Waterbury
 for the Past Few Months.

Not many people are aware of the number of scarlet fever cases there are in town. During the past month 46 were reported to the health officer against 15 for the month of Febru- ary. Although the disease is quite prevalent in this city, the cases for the most part are not dangerous. Measles has also been getting in it's work the past few months, the num- Der of cases reported being larger than for some years. Last month only 55 were called to the attention of the health officer against 75 for February. If it were not for the care of the doctors who visit the schools regularly there would un- doubtedly have been an epidemic of both diseases, so it shows that the idea of having the children examined now and then was a good one.

FACTS OF GLOBE DUEL
 AS TOLD BY SURVIVOR
VukmanOviCh Surrenders and is
 Held to Answer.

Friends oi MeiIe Vukmanovich. the man who had duel on the street Sat urday afternoon with George Melich- the latter dying from the effects of his wound at the hospital on Sunday-cOm- mitted what in military parlance would be called a tactical blunder by permit ting him to take the stand in his own behalf at the corouer's inquest. says the Globe Telegram. The evidence of all the witnesses in the case was ex- tremeIy favorable to the survivor of the duel. and there could be little doubt of his ultimate absolute acquittal had the defense rested it's case right at that point
 But Vukmanovich was put on the stand to tell what he knew about the incidents leading up to Saturdays bloody encounter and his testimony was decidedly self-Couvicting. From his own statements he was as deep in the mire as Melich was in the mud.
 VUkmanovich admitted that the meeting on the field of honor was fully prearranged. According to his evidence he called down Melich for the insults the latter had heaped upon him and admitted that he had demand ed satisfaction and redress. They

 They went out into the street and then talked over the matter while longer. They rolled a couple of cigar cites apiece. shook hands and eacn agreed to fight fair" When each took his position at the agreed distance it was discovered that Melich did not have his implements of warfare with him. So he went home to get them Returning with them, they shook hands once more, expressed regret at the dire ful necessity before them and went at it. This narration is the substance O: what was tod yesterday by Vukmano- vich.

The visitor spoke English but brokenly, but he made it clear that he was the sole survivor of the duel of the day before
 Mir French made it equally clear that he was not taking charge of individuals armed with wicked looking guns who had just got through staying a man for breakfast but he knew where there was man who would take care of him. So he hiked over to the sherfffs office and got deputy. So that is how Nukmanovich gave himself up.

A MAN VERSUS A TRUST.

A story which suggests a moral for the American public to profit by. Pos siby it is only fiction that one man, singIe-handed. can fight a truss, and come out of the fight on top. In B.. Jones Butcher" Samuel H. Adams story for the September McCIure's, one man fought a trust; he had plenty of courage, and the backing of an honest community behind him; and he won his fight. The story probably wasn't based strictly upon fact: but it none the less contains some valuable sug- gestions for the public to think about. Behind the light vein of satire in which 1t is told there are two or three hard truths which will go home to stay with the average American citizen.

The Hot Springs Oil Company Sink

The Hot Springs oil company hn- ished erecting the derrick and other machinery last Monday and dropped the drill for the first time the same af- ternoon. says the Graham Guardian The outfit is a big one and is of the very best kind. They have everything necessary to sink to d depth of 5000 feet. but MT Zerath. the company's oil expert who selected the ground upon which to bore the test we'll and who has charge of operations. believes they will strike oil at less than 20OO feet.
 The site selected for the first well is just on top of the mesas south of Saf- ford and within the artesian belt. and it is confidently believed that they are directly over an immense oil tank: if surface indications count for anything this is true. This company is deter mined to demonstrate whether or not oil exists in this country in paying quantities
 If it should be proven that oil does not exist here in paying quantities. the well now being bored is sure to produce lalge flow of artesian water The site selected is nearly one hundred feet higher than SaffOrd which fact gives the company one of the best reservoir sites in the county for the establish meut of water system for the valley
