Save Steps
and Labor in
the Household

There are many so-called luxuries
that are real" necessdries. All labor
saving devices are among them. For
example, there is clever contrivance
for keeping eggs hot for those who are
in the habit of struggling to the break
fast table one by one. There Is also
a potato slicer that turns with
crank and has the potato in thin, even
slices in less time than 1t takes to
cut quarter of 1t in the old way,
not to mention baker. with an elec
trical attachment by which to gauge
the heat and turn the spit upon which
the meat is revolved This has very
complicated sound, but is simple
enough and tremendously satisfactory
A new lemon-squeezer works like an
olive pitter and then there is the olive
'pitter itself, which whisks the stone
out in short order. OF flour sifters
there is no end, but the most appealing
of them all seems TO be one consisting
OF cubical box, poised just above
the bottom of the flour pan. which
with pressure on button, lifts the
-four into measuring cup and turns
it out.
A long-handled brush and dust cloth
combined makes convenient imple
ment for washing windows and clean
ing ceilings and cornices, and carpet
sweeper with two handles collects
dust from the corners as we'll as from
the center of room.
How many who purchase the family
coffee know that there are male and
female beans, and that if one wants
the best brand he must insist upon
having the former?
Too many housewives go through
the day without system. They never
have time for anything. One matron
has set out to profit by her New Eng.
land mothers experiences. She is de,
termined to keep house Systematically
and pleasureably, and she has evolved
three rules for herself as funda.
mentals:
First. To have only necessary
things in her house-meaning that
every article of furniture shall be
either useful or beautiful.
Second. To have place for every
thing. and see that everything is in
its place-which isn't entirely remote
| from the first rule.
Third To perform the regular duties
of the day in the same frame of mind
with which she has made her own
toilette-taking them entirely as a
matter of course.
At the beginning of the week she
prepares a list of certain things,
things, perhaps, that have been "hang-
ing over" for a long time. She tries
to eliminate one thing from the list
each day.

PLAN FOR ROSE GARDEN.
A Suggestion for the Women Folks
for Next Season.

The simple design shown in our H.
iustration is the suggested plan for
3 rose garden go feet square. 1t con-
tains one large oval bed in the center,
four beds of triangular outline, and
one long. narrow border at the rear of
the plot. The large oval in the center
should be devoted to Hybrid Remon-
tant, or June roses, and of these the
following varieties are all excellent:
Anna de Diesbach. dark pink; Frau
Karl Druschki. one of the very finest
whites; Gen. Jacqueminot, well known
to almost everyone; Magma Charta,
Mrs. John Laing. both good pinks:
Paul Neyron, one of the largest roses;
Ulrich Brunner and Fisher Holmes,
light and dark reds. This list may be
greatly increased as desired. In tho
triangular beds 1t would be well to

plant largely of the Hybrid Tea class,
and also those known as ever-bloom-
ing roses. Of the Hybrid Teas the
following are all fine: Killarney,
Captain Christy, Caroline Testout,
Grus and Teplitz, Kaiserin Augusta
Victoria, La France and Souvenir du
President Carnot The everblooming
roses include large number of vari-
cites, from which 1t is difficult to Sc
lect brief list, but the following are
good: Etoile de Lyon, Marie Van
Houtte. Maman Cochet, Franz Deegen,
Papa Gontier, Hermosa Clothilde
Soupert and Souvenir de la Malmai-
son. At the back of the long bed,
suggests the Rural New Yorker, at the
rear Of the garden, wire trellis
could be placed, and on this some
roses Of the Rambler type could be
trained, some of the best of this
type being Philadelphia Rambler,
Ruby Queen, Dorothy Perkins and
Lady Gay. In front of the Ramblers
the Hybrid China rose, Madame Plan
tier, and also some of the lovely Moss
roses could find place. This list
could be extended almost indefinitely,
but all varieties do not grow with tho
same freedom, and the few mentioned
may be considered among the stand
ard sorts. The number of plants to
be used in such garden would be
from 600 to $50, according to the di-
mensions Of the beds and the close
ness with which they were planted. If
the surroundings permit 1t, the fences
or boundaries of the rose garden could
be covered with the various Rambler
roses, and the long bed used for
other varieties.

Keeping TreIIis Wires Taut.

Some people have a great deal Of
trouble in protecting their vines from
the ravages Of wind in the fall and an
effective method Of keeping trellis
wires tight has been suggested. First,
bore holes through post and wrap
ends Of the wires around hardwood
blocks that are square on one end and
rounded where they come against the
post. This method Of trellis stretch
ing has been found by many to be very
effective in maintaining the good con-

are engineering the cotton movement here. I have seen hundreds of bags brought into kampala on the heads of the natives, who walk many miles to take their lint TO the market. The amount coming in now is something like two tons per day, and there are great warehouses here which are packed full of cotton ready for ginning.
 Cotton On Lake Victoria.
 The cotton movement is being en- gineered by the Uganda company, linn ited. This is an association of English capitalists who have been more or less interested in the Christian mission work going on in Uganda. They repre- sent great deal of money and have active and up-to-date men in their employ out here. They have a British manager and assistants and are putting up big ginning plant, with the best of modern ginning machinery. Twenty four gins are already running, and these are operated by two steam en- zines, one of which is of hundred horsepower.
 The gins are made by Platt Brothers & Co. of England, and were installed by MT J. Buckley, a representative of that company, who has been over our cotton states and claims to know all about American cotton. He tells me that the cotton here, grown from seed, is superior to the same cotton grown in America, and that it is as good as any upland cotton that we produce. The present output of the gins is only about four tons per day but this will be increased.
 This company has also an hydraulic baling press, made by John Shaw S Sons of Manchester, and it proposes to install other machinery. At present it is difficult to land heavy freigh t here. Until the Uganda railway was completed everything was brought in by black porters. As all was carried upon the head no piece weighing more

 Cotton In Uganda.
 It is not only two years since the Brit ish began to experiment with cotton rais- ing in this part of the world. The first ~Seed was sent out by the British Cotton Growing association, and it was dstribu- 1ted to the native chiefs throughout the T:ountry. That was in 1904, and there Ere now thousands of little plantations Adn over Uganda. In most places the fields are less than an acre in size; and n many they consist of only little patches 'onnected with the bananas growing V(bout the houses. Nevertheless the cot on is everywhere and everywhere it rows well. This is so with almost no !, pltvation. I have walked through fields where the plants were higher than my Ylead and have pulled the lint from fat polls surrounded by weeds.

ON WOOL TARIFF
MANNlNeToN MAN APPEARS IN

ERS' ASSOCIATION.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 3.-The con.
stderatfon OF the tariff on wool, wooden
manufacturers and carpets which was
begun by the house ways and means
committee at yesterdays hearing de-
veloped considerable interesting testi-
mony. General Charles H. G~rosvenlr,
a FORMER Representative in congress
from Ohio. was n Of the most i'm
portant witnesses. He appeared for
tbs wool growers of Ohio.
You can't reduce the duty on vol
as 1t stands without destroying the In.
dustry," he told the committee. "The
industry Is now fairly profitable"
AS an argument in favor Of the re-,
~tention Of the present duty on wool,
General Grosvsnor said that under the
low rate ii duty imposed on wool by
the Wilson bill. the number OF sheep
= raised in one county in Ohio de.
crease dfrom $4,000 to 90, 1000 within
four years, Representative Clark, Of
Missouri, later secured the admission
from The former representative from
Ohio that this reduction was. at least
in part, due to the increased value IF
land lin Ohio. General G~rosvenor
claimed that the production Of wool
increased when the Dingley tariff was
enacted.
Clothing Not Cheaper.
General Grosnevor said that a re.
duction in the tariff on wool has never
made the price Of clothing in this
Country cheaper, although he claimed
all clothing except the highest grade
was cheaper here than abroad.
The sheep breeders of New York
were represented b. E. F. Dana, Of
Avon, N. Y. He claimed that the pres.
ent tariff on wool ia the lowest under

Is satisfactory as a revenu producer,
that It fosters the wool industry ami
