THE HANDLING OF YOUNG PLANTS

Writing in the Housekceper for Feb
ruary, Samuel A Hamilton, the we'll
know horiculturist. gives some hints
which are helpful 10 both the beginner
and those more experienced. In handling
the young plants after they have come
from the soil, YOU must be guided very
largely by the kind Of plant with which
you are working. II one OF the coarse
large kinds, such as the aston geranium
and cOleus they should be transplanted
early and should he thinned ont as soon
as they have made the second leaf, but
II OF finer leafed varities, such Us allys-
gum or aGeratum, allow them 70 grow
until they have shown their fourth leaf,
and do not thin them until they touch
one another. The above are The best
rules which can lie given covering the

SIMPLE AND ATTRACTIVE SALADS.

An odd and pretty salad is made of
celery and apple, Instead of the usual
crescents and cubes, the celery and apple
are cut in long, narrow straws, mixed
lightly with mayonnalse. and garnished
with fluffy border of watercross.
Another salad is OF potato and tomato
The freshly cooked potato is cut in very
small pieces placed in a bowl with a
single onion. A french dressing is poured
over while the potato is warm and the
whole allowed to stand for two hours in
Il cool place. When ready to serve fresh
tomato is peeled, carefully scooped out
filled with the potato mixture, and a large
spoonful of cooked dressing. to which
whipped cream has been added, pla ced on

NOT YOU ALONE.

An exchange tells a plain truth

publish something for everybody.
If YOU see something that is of little
interest To you. remember that
there arc others, and that the entire
paper Is not printed especially for
you. The very thing that is dull
and uninteresting to you may be
the best thing in the paper for some
other reader, and other readers
have Just as good right to he
pleased as you have. There are
whole pages in the daily papers
that are of no interest to us but
they arc TO others. A paper
which contained nothing but such
matter as would interest any
one or another of us, would have A
limited number of readers. There
are many people of many minds.
and the paper should have some
thing for all of them"

HIGH COST OF CARRYING MAILS.

If the figures given out by the
American Weekly Publishers As
sociation are correct, the United
States Government is in much need

The Government, according to
figures, during the fiscal year end

roads 100000 more for carry
ing its mail matter than the express
companies paid for equal tonnage.
That is to say
The average rates for hauling
one hundred pounds of mail be-
tween New York and forty-nine

Low SALARIES FOR TEACHERS

Recently we referred to scnse
complaints made by teachers in the
public schools, not only of the low
salaries paid, but of the DISPOSE
ton on the part of local school
boards to dock even these meager
salaries, whenever, by reason of a
general holiday, the schools closed
for a day. The result of low sala-
rles has been that many teachers
have quit teaching and have found
more profitable employment in
other vacations. The truth. plains
ly stated is that many of our local
school boards measure the salary
OF a teacher by the standard of
wages paid day laborers. They
decline TO recognize teaching as
vocation requiring much previous
preparation, the expenditure of
money and time in preparation for
the work, and the actual work
more arduous and exhausting than
that of the laborer who uses only
muscle. Very few members f
local school board nave ever had
experience as teacher and for that
reason cannot appreciate the real
value of a successful and capable
teacher. Many members of local
boardsare not themselves educated,
In the better sense of the word and
for that reason are not in proper
sympathy with teachers. The low
salaries heretofore paid in our
public schools have made it more
difficult TO secure competent teach
ers, and to that extent have impair
ed the standard of the schools
particularly in rural districts.
Very few of the city schools pay
salaries which are commensurate

ment.
And 1T is easy TO understand how
a Chicago company of capitalists
could make the offer to take over
the department and run it without
cost to the Government. BY put
ting the postal department on a
business basis, the Chicago syndi-
cate would make handsome
profit.
For several years Assistant Post
master General Madden has claim
ed that the annual deficit is caused
by the low second-class postage
rates-that on newspapers and
periodicals, and has urged Con-
gress to increase these rates.
The claim is not justified.
The deficit is caused by poor
business methods as shown in the
nigh rates paid the railroads for
hauling the mails. Richmond

Famous Resting Place of the CIR.
Dead OF France.


Dead OF France.
la the center Of the most populous
and hardest working part Of Paris lies
Pere-la-Chaise. the city OF the dead.
All fetes OF the faubourg beat against
the walls OF this spot. which has its
own fete twice year Within less than
a century this cemetery has become
the abode OF ut least 5000 dead. IL
formerly formed n part OF the domains
OF the bishopric OF Paris under the
name Champ LeveQue Under Louis
NV. 1t was known at Mont Louis. At
last May q. 1904. the official opening
of the new metropolis took place.
The white mausoleums among the
green trees remind the visitor OF an
oriental city. but Il Is estimated that I'm
twenty years there viii not be space
enough for one lone dead man. A cal
culatio~ has been made which would
point TO the fact that the sum Of $50
100000 is represented In these last
sleeping places OF man. Even though
the French may not always be grateful
during the life Of their IllustrIous chill
dren, there is a mighty attempt after
death to prove appreciation. Among
the famous men who are today living
calm and beloved In Pere-la-Chaise are
Rossini. Beilini. Chopin, members of
the famous Carnot family, Molere. Ia
Fontaine, DelacroiX and Balzac.
Here the tomb OF Heloise and Abe
lard IS visited continually by large num-
bers OF pilgrims. and there Is never an
end TO the sentiment around the Gothic
monument rising from the bright hued
geranlums and roses. Notwithstanding
the Iron railing. many a lover carries
from the hailowed spot petal blown
across by the obliging breeze. Except
for one section. where a considerable
number of artists and authors. brothers
IN beauty and inspiration, are grouped.
the tombs succeed each other witbout
much order. There is a single monu-
ment erected by the state to the SOL
diers killed in The siege of Paris.

with thereal merits of The teachers.
There are not maay ofthese teach
ers who could not command higher
compensation in other work. but
they are devoted to the profession
os teaching and have chung to il in
the hope of better appreciation and
an advance in salary.
In this city there is a corps OF
teachers of superior ability. Thcir
work demonstrates this fact. Some
OF them have acquired reputation
beyond che limits of this city. and
we happen SO know tina; some Of
them have been Offered larger sal
aries from other cities IN one case
nearly double. Roanoke cannot
aifored to part with any of them but
unless 4 moro liberal disposition
Is shown IN the matter of compea-
salion by our school board. several
OF the most capable teachers in our
public schools will accept situations
IN other cities for sm,thcr NSs,r.
1t should be borne in mind that
for three months of each year these
teachers receive no salary, and for
their support during that period
have to draw upon what they may
have saved from nine months of
actual work. Some of them have
spent the summer months in
courses of study at Harvard, Yale,
Chicago University and other in
StituGons, thus absorbing the entire
savings of the years work in better
preparation for succeeding years.
1t will prove a sad day for Roanoke
schools if such teachers are pvr-
mitted to leave for lack of proper
compensation. 1t DISCREPANCIES a
school to a certain extent, when a
capable teacher leaves il. Years
of association with pupils gives m
insight into their capacity To lrarn.
of their habits of study and the
best means of sinparting knowl-
dege, which new teacher must
learn.
Let us have no niggardly spirit
IN the matter OF salaries, but
encourage the teachers 10y liberal
appreciation of the capacity and
their work, and we shall thereby
maintain the present high standard
of excellence of our public schools.

COY. HUGHES AND HIS FRIENDS.

Gov. Hughes. of New York, is
evidently determined to bringabout
reforms in that badly demoralized
Commonwealth. His first mes
sage points out some of the most
urgent cases in which reform is
needed, and outlines the direction
which the reforms should take, in
his opinion. He speaks with
Soberness and independence, not
mincing matters, and seems to be
entirely oblivious of the fact that
some of the reforms he advocates
may prove intensely repugnant to
some of the men who were so
prominent in supporting him dur
ing the campaign.
The signs already point to q re-
vulsion Of feeling on the part of
these sturdy ante-election reform
ers. They are asking themselves
If there is not some way in which
TO whisper in Hughes ear. 1t was
all very we'll for Hughes to be in
earnest before election, but now it
is very different thing. Then it
was absolutely necessary, in order
to defeat Hearst, that the Republi-
can candidate should also promise
to bring about reforms. But
Hughes goes further than that.
He presents all the symptoms of be-
ing actually in earnest. Heretains
an accurate recollection of the
promises he made, and without
consulting anybody he proceeds
to urge reforms.
Could anything be more embar-
RAISING to the big men who sup
ported Hughesl They are begin
ming to realize that they have
caught Tartar. They have nour-
ished real reformer, instead of
for party success only. Where
will he stopl Is the creature to
ignore his creatorsl Is the nudge
in the gubernatorial rib to 90 I'M
needed and the whisper to be I'M
heardl Things may come to a
pretty pass if this man should uti-
lie his knowledge to stir up trou-
bic among the good and great men
and corporations which put him in
power.
1t is clear that something must
be done. If the whisper will not
there must be roar. The
influences must be
The good faith of the
governor must be impugned.
Ridicule must be used. The people
must be made to believe that he is
or impracticable, or
He cannot be permit
ed to 90 the length of institutino
the real reforms he promised to
work for. In one. way, if not in
the man must be brought
to realize that however earnest he
may have been, his corporation
were acting purely ina
political and Pickwickian sense
when thay ADVERTISED him as a re-
former.
1t is humiliation to some of
Hughes supporters to discover
that they misiudged him so. To
be taken in by an honest man is
sad, indeed. Now that their eyes
are open, they perceive that they
ought to have known from tEo first
