Che Modern GIadicIas.

Because of it's adaptibility to any
soil and climate, almost, the gladiolus
| is deservingly a favorite with all
classes of gardeners, Its merit as
cut flower and value as an ornament
| to the garden are notable. If the
spike is cut and placed in water as
soon as the first bloom appears, every
bud will open fully and last for four
to ten days, according to the temper
ature. By making successive plant
ings about two weeks apart beginning
rs soon as the ground is thoroughly
settled in the spring, one may secure
continuous blossoms from early June
ntil frost comes.
Although the gladiolus will stand
much neglect and yield good results
| if proper care is taken it will give re-
suits in proportion. Stable manure
should be applied to the gladiolus bed
in the autumn, and well spaded and
respaded in the spring. Bulbs should
he planted from three to four inches
deep according to their size, and
eshould be planted in rows II to Is
inches apart, three to four inches
apart in the row, for cutting purposes.
Planted in mass for garden show
they should be from to inches in
either direction. Stalking is some
times necessary especially where high
winds prevail, but in most cases If
stalking is found necessary it may be
attributed to too shallow planting OF
the bulbs. SO many thousand va
rieties of gladioli are now grown that
lit is puzzlng to the amateur to select
from them. Great care should be
exercised and expert advice consulted

Modern Building Material.

Concrete is fast coming into use as
the common sense building material,
During the last five years. according
to men who profess to know, lumber
mas increased over As per cent, ana
the house that cost 1000 at tuat
time therefore costs almost double
the amount today
With the truth of this statement
staring a man in the face he is likGiy
to look around for a substitute But
in getting a substitute he wants sorGe-
thing that is really "just as good
He wants nothing that is cheap at
the start but which is dear in lhs
end--something that will not stand
up under the wear of the weather
Concrete has been tested and has
proven to be the best substitute on
the market. 1t permits of building
houses in a variety of forms, yet its
very nature is such as to demand the
following of simple lines. A concrete
house to be we'll built must be built
simply. If simplicity is departed
from the effect is grotesque. And If
houses are built simply. according &c
the rules which psychologists lay
down, for US, the people living in
them viii follow the rules of the sim
pie life. That is if there is as much
in environment as we have oeen
taught by actual living to believe
But the chief recommendation for
the concrete is its durability 1t is
practically indestructible Il is used
in all engineering work where the
quality of permauence is desired, and
certainly the builder Of the average
house desires 1t to stand as long as
possible without repair. Prospective
builders had best study corcrete be
fore ordering building material

The Feminine Observer.

Coquetry is cute, but it washes no
dishes.
The man who is willing to pay all
his taxes hasn't any to pay.
Good society is often forced to toler-
ate more or less bores.
When the bright boy attempts TO
dictate to his parents he's too bright
The man who can blush isn't en-
tirely off the highway to heaven.
Opportunity wears many DISCUSSES.
None of the generals of histo, y
could hold candle to a willy widow
in the manipulation of nen.
There is but little hope for the oy
who parts his hair in the middle and
consults the looking glass too often.
If man is really in love with a
girl the redness of her hair is invisi-
bic.
Many a married man goes to a
nearby saloon for a smile" because
he gets nothing but frowns at home.

RISE OF AUTO INDUSTRY.

Washington D. c.. Feb 20.-The
remarkable growth in the automobile
industry and the decline OF bicycle
products are strikingly indicated in
statement issued Ivy the census bu-
reau on the manufacture of automo-
Siles, bicycles and tricycles for 1905
The total production of automobiles
in 1905 was 22,S30, valued at s2G,645.-
O64, as against only 1923 in 1900,
with value of $4,74s,011 thus show
ing an increase in value of 461.1 per
cent.
OF the 21.692, autos turned out by
automobile factories, 1860, or S6.2
per cent, were propelled by gasoline;
1868, or 10 per cent by steam; and
1,425,. or &c per cent by electricity.
The figures cyoncerning the manI-
faeture of automobiles represent the
output of the 121 establishments re
porting the complete automobile. In
addition to these, there we're sugty-
seven establishments engaged pri-
marily in other lines of manufacture,
such as carriages and wagons, bicy-
Giles, sewing machines, ETC., which
during the year covered by the CEN
sus, turned out 1,13S automobiles,
valued at $879,2O5 and fifty-seven es-
establishments from $5,76S, S57 to 500.
tomobile bodies and parts to the val
ne of $3,3SS,472.
IN the period between the two
censuses the number of establish
ments turning out the finished auto
mobile as their principal product IN
| creased from tifty-seven to 121; the
| amount of capital invested in these
establishments frof $5,76S,S5T to $780,
555,247, and the average number of
wage earners employed from 2,241
to 10.239. The average capital per
establishment increased from $101,-
i EOS to $1GS,S7S or 67.9 per cent
OF the total number of automobiles
manufactured in automobile factories
| 1871, or $50 per cent, were run
| abouts. and 1920, or 1873 per cent,
touring cars. Buckboards stood third
in number turned out, CTS; stanhopes
fourth, with $40, and delivery wagons
fifth, with All.
The value of American-made auto
mobiles and parts exported increased
from s94S,52S in 1902, the first year
that they were separately reported
to s2,4S1 ,243 in 1905 The greater
part of these exports went to Europe
an markets, although Europe's per.
centagc of the total foreign pur
chases appears to be decreasing. In
the years 1902 to 1905 this percentage
was S3.9. 7O.7, 53S and 5.76 respect
lively Nevertheless, the absolute
value of the exports to Europe al
most doubled in me three years. To
the united Kingdom more than s60C,
600 worth of A,nerican-plade sltomo
biles and parts ras been exported in
each of the years FROM 1902 to 1905
In the same period exports to France
have increased from $5e.05l to S252,
80; to Italy from $1,000 to $159 396
and 10 Germany from $2t,491 to 1854,
