Scarlet Tobacco Plant.

One of the flower novelties of last year
which was successfully grown by many ex-
perts is tobacco plant which produces
scarlet flowers, Nicotiana sanderae. 1t Is
named for It's introducer, an expert of Eng
land The plant was originated by crossing
two South American tobacco plants, one OF
which had white and the other red flowers.
The result was a flower varying from light
pink TO the deepest red. Planted In the fore
ground of a border of more familiar
Noctiana affinis, which has white, star
shaped flowers OF wonderfully sweet frag-
rance at twilight. combination of color
most striking is produced.
A pleasing characteristic of this tobacco
plant is the Towering time, which begins at
twilight and lasts until the hot rays of the
following day withers the blossoms Thus
it is in bloom at the time when 1t is most
appreciated by persons returning home after
a weary days work.
This plant appears to bear flowers all
summer, and with ordinary care should sue
coed under a great number of conditions. 1t
has been successfully tested in England,
Germany and the United States. 1t has
done we'll in sunlight and partial shade.

important changes OF late in the gather
ing of sap and making syrup. When once
the sap is gathered and the season begun
the great fires are kindled and not al
lowed to go out during the season. Cords
of rock maple and birch go up in flames
and the sap house is always a warm and
CHEEKY place. Did you ever hear of eggs
boiled in the hot syrup and of sheepskins
and sugar? The boys have a novel way
of getting the sweet scum that rises on

scum sticks to the wood, and II Is good!

Lesson From Franklin.

From Cent Per Cent
It is we'll, therefore, to use the force OF
Franklin's knowledge. and his teaching,
and his example to emphasize the wisdom
of our great middle classes in combining
their savings for the sake of mutual profit
resulting from large industrial enterprises,
carried on with their aggregated capital It
requires a good deal of confidence In the
credulity of the public to argue, in the face
of such facts as follow, that industrial cor
porations cannot possibly earn more than
per cent. for the whole history of COM
mercial development In America, from
Franklins time to our own, testifes to the
contrary. Take the great railroads, for il
lustration. the most profitable of all indus
trials. and trace their invested millions to
their source, back through the insurance
companies and banks to the millions of
small depositors, and you will see that in
reality the peoples savings are the capital
that is running the roads, albeit the people
do not receive the large earnings because
their money is not invested directly in the
roads This magazine will have accom-
plished notable work If 1t can disabuse
the minds of the small investors whom IN
terested parties have persuaded that stock
in all sound and successful companies Is
never offered for sale to them. That Is not
true.
The most common place things of life,
sugar. pickles, thread, hooks and eyes, pens
pencils chocolate. rubber shoes, coal and
q hundred and one other Items, are yield
ing great wealth in the aggregate and pro-
vidng incomes for hundreds OF thousands
of shareholders, for the most part people of
moderate means who have been provident
enough to save their small earnings and in
vest them in the shares of the industrial en-
terprises whose business 1t is to manufac-
ture these things.

To Get a Reprieve.
From London Answers.

From London Answers.
Sometimes q public petition to the home
secretary for the reprieye of a criminal
reaches such enormous dimensions that one
would think its success was certain. AS a
matter OF fact the length of list of sigma
lures to a petition does not influence the
home secretary at ALL Should he see his
way to grant the reprieve, he is naturally
pleased to know that public sentiment is
with him In the matter; while, should the
reprfeve be refused, he is, of course, wor-
ried by the knowledge that he is disappoint-
ing all the good people who signed the Pc
tition.
The solicitor acting In the matter sends
to the home secretary q petition OF his
own-one quite apart from the document
signed by the public. In it he states facts
which have come to light since the trial
and these are thoroughly investigated by
the home secretary's staff, the Judge who
tried the case always being consulted be-
fore the reprieve is either granted or re-
fused.
The signatures of the public are sent to
the home office Ia patches OF about fifty,
and total of 1900 Is considered to be
very good Still, 1t is all the same TO the
home secretary whether there are three
signatures or three thousand. He must
act, not according to public sentiment but
according to evidence.
