ABOUT HOLLYHOCKS.
How to Grow Them from Seed liz
stead of the Old-Fashioned way
from Cuttings.

The old-fashioned way OF increasing
stock of hollyhocks was by cuttings
that is, taking pieces OF young shoots'
consisting of two joints with lower
leaves removed, and roofing them IN
fine soil in August. That is the only
way of increasing a stock OF any given
variety. as the hollyhock does not
come true from seed.
The July number of the GARDEN
Magazine, however, advises growing
from seed, as less troublesome than
the tedious cutting method, and as Sc
curing very satisfactory results from
the new and better varieties of to-day
Directions for this mode of propaga-
ton are given, and should be put In
practice this month.
Sow seeds in July in drill one
inch deep in a sunny, rich soil, leav-
ing plenty of space between the seeds
to allow the young plants to grow
without crowding until the next
spring-not less than four inches.
Inc drills should be Is inches apart,
to permit cultivation either with the
wheel cultivator or hand hoe. At the
approach of winter protect the plants
by light covering of straw and
leaves with the boards placed over all,
both to hold the covering and to shed
water. This is of course best done
by having two boards joined together
to form al inverted V. If it is de-
sired to keep the colors separate, of
course they must be labeled in the
rows where sown; but if a mixed bed
of hollyhOcks is wanted it is far bet
ter to mix the seeds before sowing,
for somehow or other it. is hard to
plant a mixed bed from separate col
ors-at least il is hard to get it done
satisfactorily.
When the covering is removed the
following spring the plants will be in
perfect condition to transplant to the
positions they are to fill in the gar
den. When lifting them take great
care to dig deep and secure intact the
long, feshy roots, as they are the
standby OF the plants during the stress
OF hot weather and drought. The rea-
son why there are so many hollyhocks
OF only average quality seen, and so
few really good ones, is that INSULT
Client care is given to preparing the
SOIL. The hollyhock is a plant that
can hardly be overfed, and revels in a
deep, rich soil. Double dig the place
where they are to be planted and put
generous quantity of rich manure
IN the trench when refilling it: or
iced freely all through the growing
season with nitrate of soda, one-half
ounce, and superphosphate and kainit
one-fourth ounce each, to two gallons
OF water. Give this once in three
weeks.
The all-outdoor cultivation of hol-
lyhocks is far more simple than the
ola way of starting them under glass
and, moreover, gives us plants with
stronger constitution. Treated in this
way as a biennial, it will give better
results than when grown as a peren-

II were asked to sum up the
dominant impression that the sur
vlval in Spain of the old-world me-
diaevalism makes, | should say that
Spain is in the same precise and spe-
clfic sense of the word the home OF
romance. The special character OF
the Spanish temperament and Of
Spanish developments In literature
and In art Is marked by quality,
rising and sinking with the rise and
fall OF Gothic, which we call the ro-
mantle spirit; a mixture, that is, OF
the mysterious and grandiose with
tho grotesquely bizarre. of the soar
ingly ideal with the crudely real, a
mixture which to us today has the
cunning fascination of art but was
really on both sides the natural out
come OF the experiences and feelings
OF the men who created Il. This ro-
mantle spirit was once the common
possession OF all Christendom; but
the Spanish temperament peculiarly
lent itself 10 the romantic attitude,
and Il is in Spain today that we may
catch It's final vanishing echoes. II
is the church, always the most pow
erful stronghold OF tradition among
any people. which enables the
stranger most vlyidly to realize how
well the romantic spirit has been pre-.
served irl Spain, Notwithstanding
invaslons from without and revolu-
tions from within. especially during
the early years OF the last century,
Spain Is still the country where the
mediaeyal spirit of romantic devotion
is most splendid embodied and pre-
served. Havelock Ellis. In the De-

A deal of considerable interest to
the Salem public was consummated
yesterday when the southwest corner

President A. Welch. of the william
cite Valley Company, by ]. p. Rogers,
the consideration being about $500.
This lot which is 81 feet on Com

property and. IL is understood that
the Willamette Valley Company con
templates putting up a modern build
ing upon the property in the spring

of leasing II for a first class hotel,
headquarters, and possibly a depot
for the new Salem-Mehama electric
line which has been mapped out and

of the 81 miles of road
Whether or not It will be used as
a depot depends largely upon the
action of the city council in grant,

convenient as terminal. but it is
practically certain that the head
quarters of the management of the
road will be Quartered in a portion

we have Just received from her son

The lot is now occupied by a num-
ber of old tumble-down shacks, some
of the pioneer buildings of the city,
and was formerly owned by former
Postmaster Edward Hirsch, who
transferred It to Mr.. Rogers q couple
of years ago. The consideration OF
that transfer was $4,000.
The tearing down on the old struc-
ture will mark the passage of some
more old eye-sores in the building

tion of modern building will be a
great improvement to that portion OF

TWO EXTREMES.

There was a somewhat unusual oc- currenee in Kansas City a few days ago, when an ignorant negro was tried and convicted of murder. When Judge wofford came to pass sentence on him he said:
 You're a poor, ignorant. no-account black man, and don't want to nang you. You have no friends. You have no one to, plead that you are a insane. ne. culating petitions to save your neck. There will not be a lot of fool men writing letters to the Governor to save YYST,n YYon,n % iSst ob be forgotten @ tiii the day set for your hanging, and then theyd hang you. I'll sentence vou to thirty years in the penitentiary
 Judge wofford is evidently an ob- servant jurist. and has taken note of the difference in the treatment of crim- inals. If Harry Thaw. to take him as an example, should be convicted, the time spent in jail from conviction to execution would be a continued ova- ton on the part of the morbidly sym pathetic people, and especially women. who would vie with each other in showering attentions on him. Delica- cies and boquets would be sent him, and in every way he would be a fa- vorite of fortune. In some ways his last days would be his best days.
 But if this Missouri negro had been sentenced to death he would have been forgotten by all but the jail attendants. and he would have been hanged and there an end There would be no flowers or dainties for him; nothing but prison fare and grim silence while awaiting his doom. And yet he. also, is a human being. He may be ignor- ant, degraded and brutish, but he has human feelings and human longings, brances would mean far more to him than they would to the panpered son of fortune who has never known any Of life's hardships and privations, and who commits murder because of the fact that he has never been denied anything Such is the way of the world and will continue to be.
 Whether the judge acted wisely in sentencing a murderer to a specified term of years in prison is another matter. As he will not be able to secure a pardon. having neither mon ey nor influence. it is more than probable that he will end his days in prison He is removed from power to commit further crimes, and the world is as safe from him in future as it would be if he were dead and bur jed The judge evidently possesses a streak of human sympathy at all events.

THURSDAY, JULY 1e, 1908.

There is something pathetic in the case Of Eugenie, ex-Empress of France, now past the age of fourscore. who is awaiting death in practical exile. Mar ried in 1858 to Napoleon III, Emperor of the French, she was for almost a scofe Of years one of the most popu- lar women of Europe. The downfall. capture and exile of her husband in 1870 was the beginning of her misfor- tunes His death in 1873 was another blow but the final and crushing one came in 1879 when her only child, Eu- gene, met tragic death at the hands of the zuIus. From that time the ex- Empress has lived a life of quiet re- tirement, almost forgotten by the great world, and almost unknown in the land where she once reigned in royal splendor Hers is a most notable ex- ample of the changes that little more than a generation may bring about.
