GARDEN SNAPSHOTS

Get the poisons ready for the early
insects
Beginning with the advent of spring
there are few places SO interesting as
the hardy flower garden. The ANNALS
have to be soWn and the half hardy
plants have to be planted before they
can be enjoyed
If Il gardener has not experimental
with his soil so as to know to what
fertilizing elements it really needs he
must use Il formula, and one carrying
about 3 to 80 per cent nitrogen, 5 to 6
per cent available phosphoric acid and
to 5 per cent potash will usually be
found as profitable as any.
Sow PrizetaLer onions indoors. TO be
transplanted to the garden in May.
If seeds are planted in dry soil or in
soil that is less moist than the seeds the
drier soil will extract the moisture
from the seed and retard development.
The radish is one of the favorite ear
" spring vegetables, and it is one Of
easy cultivation. We naturally look
forward to this as the one very early,
if not the first, that we are to grow to
maturity. either in the frame or outside
ground
For success with parsnips use fresh
seed, plant very early and quite thick
and thin out the seedlings to six to
seven inches apart.

MISS HELEN CANNON.
One of the First Ladies' of Official
Society at National Capital.
She Often draciously Presides at
War Councils Of the Nations
Chiefs. fs.-Democratic In Manner and
. Famous H0usekeoper.

The distinction Of being the best
posted woman in America on politics
and statecraft, is generally accorded
to Miss Helen Cannon, daughter of
the Speaker Of the u. S. House OF Re-
presentatives. Speaker Cannon who
is genial and democratic in manner,
is man of many close friendships, but
no one is SO close to him as his only
unmarried daughter who has presided
over his household since the death of
his wife, many years ago.
Miss Cannon emphatically disproves
the theory that woman cannot keep
a secret. AS the confidante of the
official, who. next to the President, is
the most powerful man in the United
States, she probably learns more CT
what Is going on behind the scenes"

MADE FORTUNE IN WORMS.
Maine Florist Returns to Sweden
After Breeding Bait.

BY far the most popular bait for
all kinds OF fishing in Maine are NV
Ing earthworms, which have the odor
OF the ground about them and which
seem to be choice tidbits, not only roI
trout and landlocked salmon, but also
for pickerel. perch. black bass and, In
deed, every species of food fish that
swims in fresh water. AS the Maine
soil Is deficient in humus and lacking
in decaying vegetable matter, angle
worms are not plentiful.
More than ten years ago Carl Beers
florist OF Bangor, went into the busi
ness OF rearing earthworms for the
purpose of selling them to the local
fishermen. as well as for shipment to
Boston. He imported breed of dark
purple worms from Belgium, which
were prolific breeders, though
course and strong favored, and later
he secured box of giant angleworms
from India In the course of few
years he was able to supply live
worms by the million to his custom
ers.
Those shipped to Boston were sold
In Job lots of 75 cents pound. To
the home customers he sold worms of
average size for 10 cents Dozen
Though his green house was small
one. and though his trade in flowers
was never extensive, he made money
rapidly from the sale of worms. un-

went to his old home in Sweden,

Sidney Cook, Of Presque Isle, the
inventor of several diving appliances
used by men who work in deep wat
ers. was the next man to attract at
tention as public benefactor In the
bait line. Mr. Cook says his inven-
tion was made possible through hay
Ing watched the Indians of Canada
when they sought worms for bait
All earthworms come to the sur
face at night" said he, "and feed on
the grasses and rotting leaves near
the entrance to their burrows. While
the worms we're busy eating, the In
dams of Canada had a habit OF drag
ging a blanket with its under side
smeared with bird lime along the sur.
face of the land. thus picking up the
Tat worms together with sticks and
Jumps OF earth and small pebbles.
After dredging the land for time
the Indians carried the blanket to the
camp, picked off the worms and add
ed another coating of bird lime

much for my invention, 1t is not mine

Official Feminine Calls.

In the social life of the national cap
ital, Miss Cannon occupies, by virtue
of her fathers position, a unique posi-
ton. Possibly not all our readers are
aware of the many unwritten laws that
govern the exchange of calls between
women whose husbands or fathers oc-
cupy prominent positions at Washing.
ton. For instance, Official etiquette
prescribes that the wife of a newly
elected Senator or Representative
must make the first call upon the wives
of all those Congressman who are her
husbands seniors in service. Miss
Cannon. however, in accordance
with these same unwritten laws, is not
compelled to make first call" upon
any ladies in Washington, save the
wife of the President and the wife of
the Vice President. All this fuss as to
who shall call first may appear ridicu-
lous to persons who are not brought
in contact with life at our seat of gov
eminent. and possibly Miss Cannon

School Garden Education.

Every child likes to play in the mud
and dirt, to make sand houses and
caves. mud pies. and even to plant
garden. breaking on the twigs OF trees
and pulling weeds, which are carefully
planted and watered. furnishing diver
sion and pleasure for the day. II is

mind little further along this line

II is true, but closely allied. The
school garden Idea opens up an easy
and agreeable avenue to what proves
more OF n diversion than task to the
young. New York has only one such
farm garden, but on its one or two
acres, the children plant and raise both
flowers and vegetables. while in an
extemporized cool-house they prepare
the vegetables for the table and enjoy
the flavor OF the fruits OF their labor.
Besides this instruction In the culinary
art, bedroom In miniature furnishes
an opportunity for the girls TO learn
how to care for rooms. In Phila-
dolphin the relation OF the municipal
gardens and tho schools Is Intimate.

Association. for six years or more has

curriculum. and with this idea In

The incubator is heated by means

over the top OF the egg chamber on

These pipes are connected, at one end
OF the structure. to water tank and

on Canadian cooperation. This
remedy could be accomplished by New
York State alone. and would be to so
deepen the river channel south of
Goat Island, between that island anu
the New York State bank, that TIN
american Falls would divide with the
Horseshoe whatever water was not
diverted from Its natural bed. Ths

beauty OF Niagara Falls little can be
accomplished, and from past cxper,-
encc II seems more than doubtful thai
such Will be the case. In the matter
OF the International boundary aud the
seal controversy, Canada certainly did
not show nm over friendly spirit and
there is no reason to assume that her
attitude has changed In the least. but
II would seem probable that she Will
use nll her great influence with tile
mother country to defeat any friendly
agreement that might be proposed.
This conclusion OF Cannda's probable
attitude ls not reached entirely on nc.
count OF any unfricndly feeling. but
because OF two very important facts.
one OF these Is the greater width ana
depth Of the channel on the Canadian
side. which would Insure splendid

the water rights granted there, and
when tho plants for which these
grnnty were made nre In full operation.
the annual rentals to the government
will amount to over 100000.

water could be granted by Canada
which would produce mn annual rental
Of another 100000 and still not ~cri-
ously infect the Canadian side Of tho

Most lights frighten earthworms and
drive them underground. which is the
reason why they feed in the dark, but
a light that carries blue or a violet
blue shade seems to soothe the crea-
lures and makes them careless OF
danger.

remains that the enforcement OF such
recognition Is due the dignity of her

viii he impossible for either the nation
or New York State to repurchase them
without an absolutely enormous ex-

1t Is certainly to be regretted that
the American people have 40 long
neglected the most beautiful fall OF
water In the world, and have allowed
any part OF 1t to be converted to pri-
vate gain or corporate greed.
Even now, In the face OF all that
has been said and written on the
subject. there seems to be an attitude
OF hnlf-heartedness on the part OF
the people to act, which is well Illus
trated by the fact that Senator L'Hom-
mcdleu, of the New York State legis-
laturc, has asked the Senate to Kill his
bill restricting the taking OF water
from Niagara River above the falls for
power purposes and says In defense
OF his action. II cannot find any senti-
ment In favor of protecting Niagara
Falls, and I'm tired of being attacked
