Demand For Women Gardeners.

Owners of private gardens are re-
ported to be manifesting a desire to
obtain ladies skilled horticulture to
take charge of gardening operations,
says the London Daily News.
The journal published in connec-
ton with Studley College, in War
wickshire, which was founded by
Lady Warwick, states that this de-
mand is growing, and that constant
applications are being received at
the college for lady students, either
to take entire charge of gardens or
to superintend the men gardeners.
There is apparently a tendency
among lady gardeners to demand
higher wages than men. Lady stu
dents are therefore warned to be
content with fair salary and to
show willing "to work as many hours
as men,"
The Horticultural College at
Swanley admits women as well as
men, and since its establishment
eighteen or nineteen years ago many
scores of students have been trained
there.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

BY local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There ia only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing OF the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when II Is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
fammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give 500 for any case OF
Deafness (caused by catarrh) that

Studying the Turquoise.

The goddess of turquoise and the
turquoise mines In old Arabia are
tho things Prof. Petric, the English
archaelogist, has been studying. AS
member of scientific exploring
party he spent several months among
the mountain ranges of the Sinai dis
trict of old Arabia, on a stretch OF
level ground some 2,300 feet above
sea level. There they pitched their
tents, accompanied by thirty work.
men and the native chief of the dis
trict. At the top levels was the sand
stone In which were caverns worked
by parties of ancient Egyptians for
turquoise. Some tablets still remain
Ing showed that those parties were
carefully selected and carried on
their labors Systematically. Here, in
this desert region, to which sup
plies of food and water had to be
brought from a long distance. the
men mined In companies of 500 or
600. The usual time for the search
was from December to March. One
expedition had conveyed to 1t daily

The caverns themselves were exam
pies of patient industry. The famous
temple OF the goddess of turquoise

was $50 feet long and contained
range OF chambers or courts. From
one of the tablets It appeared that
certain expedition went out of the
recognized season. But It's labors
were successful and were therefore
duly acknowledged with great gratl-
tude to the patron goddess. or the
ancient inscriptions $50 have been
copied. They have an important
bearing on the age of the turquoise
expeditions, long before the birth OF
Christ, as we'll as on the Semitic

WHERE CHILDREN ABOUND.
Bounty Paid Heavy Drain in Pro.
yincisI Resources.

In the province OF Quebec there
are no less than 10000 heads OF
French Canadian families each OF
whom possesses family OF twelve
children or more. Under a provin-
cial enactment these families are
entitled to grant of 100 acres OF
land from the provincial public do
main, and this law is now causing
much concern to the provincial au-
thorities.
When the law was passed provid-
ing for this grant of crown lands to
productive married couples 1t was
never calculated that the number OF
large families would prove so very
great. 1t has turned out that the
matter is proving a serious incubus
upon the local government on ac-
count of the many thousands that
have applied for the right Of grant
of land and the thousands that are
yet to be satisfied. The French-Ca-
madam farmers marry young, and
they are strong, hardy race of peo-
pie.
The fathers of these families in
variably choose the land, to which
they are entitled, as near as possi-
BILE to their own homes, lands that
are held under lease from the gov
ernment by lumbermen to cut their
timber thereon, but the lumbermen
are bound by the terms of their
leases to relinquish such portion Of
the lands as may be claimed for set
tlement, Notwithstanding that the
limit-holders have paid the price of
their holdings to the government.
Lumbermen are therefore much
exercised over the present situation.
The tax on the timber limit-holders.
who are called upon to surrender
large portions of their timber areas,
has become so great that they are in
quandary how to protect their In
terests.
Applications for land grants be-
came so numerous last year that the
lumber merchants waited in body
upon the Quebec Government, de-
manding relief from the wholesale
spoliation of their timber holdings
AS a consequence, the law was
amended so as to provide bonus OF
$50 In lieu of the land grant. and as
many prefer the cash to the land.
It may serve to relieve the situa-
tion somewhat.

English Civil Service.

"Once a civil servant, always a
civil servant" appears to be the
motto of the English Civil Service,
for unless one proves dishonest or
an extraordinary poor workman he
is retained in service until the age
limit is reached, and the salary list
Is exchanged for the pension roll.
Unlike the civil service in the
United States, there is no strong
partisanship; appointees hold their
positions. no matter which party
may be in power.
The pay is not large, even in view
of the small cost of living In Eng
land. Fifteen dollars is about the
limit of weekly payment in the Post
ONCE Department, though some of
the executive positions pay as high
as $4,000 a year. The Excise De-
partment is a favored branch, the
pay starting at $3.50 year. This
is raised by yearly increase of
$25 until the pay reaches $400, and
after a year is jumped to $575.
From there on the pay jumps rapid
ly to $1,250 yearly. and If the Off
Ger is fortunate in at last arriving at
the dignity OF collector he draws
$4,000 yearly.
Parliamentary clerkships run
from $500 to $4,000 year, and the
Navy Department will run a clerk
up to $4,000 IL he reaches the i'm
portance of fleet paymaster.
In spite of the small salaries the
places are eagerly sought, since II
means life position, with pen
sion for ones declining years.
