Japanese and other laborers on the islands.
especially the Portuguese. who are said to
be splendid workmen. but who are intimi-
dated by the arrogance Of the Japanese
and are thus kept away from the islands.

Americans on the islands would have the
effect of bringing the different rationale

terday afternoon to see the graders
putting the finishing touches on the
first section of the Carriers creek road
near the Villa Maria Ursuline Acad-

done their work well, making a good
wide, well drained roadbed with open
bitches on each side to carry off the

from jolts.

handing one of the best views of

can be seen at one time all the great

THE YOUNG ORCHARD.

If any of the readers Of these notes
have set out an orchard this season
and want it to do the best possible,
they should see that all grass and
weeds are kept hoed away clean from
the trunks of the trees covering a
radius of two feet Another thing that
should be done is to examine the trees
carefully for the detection of borers,
which work just beneath the bark and
at or just below the surface Of the
ground. The presence of the pests is
indicated by the brown, sawdust-like
excreta which they cast out through
the bark and on to the ground in the
progress of their destructive gnawing.
A sharp jackknife is as good a tool az
any with which to extract the borers
unless they have been in the tree more
than one season, in which case the pas
sage In which they are working may
be long one. In the latter case it Is
we'll to determine the direction in
which they have gone and then take a
pliable twig small enough to penetrate
their retreat and prod them vigorously.
1t Is safe to say that more individual
apple trees and young orchards perish
from this one cause than all others
combined. Unless one Is on the look
out for the little pests they win often

As1ERs EASY TO RAISE.

Of the common garden flowers there
is hardly any variety that is as easily
raised or gives the measure Of salts
faction as do the asters. They Bios
som at time when many other varie-
ties begin to wane and stand good
deal of dry weather. Like other flow
ers, they will do best if planted in
rich soil and given abundant water.
Unlike the pansy and nasturtium, the
asters thrive better If they have lots
of sunshine, and this fact should be
kept in mind when bed is selected
for them. The little plants should be
transplanted two or three times, a
process that will result in thrifty root
systems and sturdy stalks. We have
seen bouquets Of the tall kind that
for size and fullness Of blossom, va
riety of color and all around hand
someness were not inferior to first
class chrysanthemums. A feature that
simplif1es the raising of asters is that
they have no insect enemies which
have to be combated.

THE MAD DUCHESS.
Lady Catherine Hyde and Her Eeeen-
tricities Of Dress.

Lady Catherine Hyde and Her Eeeen-
trieities of Dress.
Lady Catherine Hyde was the third
daughter of Henry, second earl of
Rochester and fourth earl of Claren-
don, and great-granddaughter of Ed
ward. the first and famous earl of Clar-
endon. One of the strongest
of her caprices was to be unlike other
people, and she succeeded admirably
in the attempt. Bolingbroke hickman
ed her LA Singularite;" Horace Wal
pole, more bluntly, "the Mad Duchess"
This oddly was specially displayed in
her dress. In 1747, after good deal Of
intriguing, she had obtained permits
sion to appear again at court, and in
1853 Horace Walpole tells Lord Hert-
ford that she presented herself there
in gown and petticoat of red flannel.
Making all allowance for male igno-
rance on such subject and Walpole's
tendency to embroider a story, it is
beyond doubt that she deliberately
courted the peculiar in her costume.
She was fond of wearing an apron and
appeared In one at court after this gar
ment had been forbidden at the royal
drawing rooms. Her entrance being
opposed by one of the lords in wait
ing, she tore it off, threw 1t in his face
and walked on. Beau Nash on SINH
lar occasion took the law into his own
hands, for when she attempted to en-
ter the ballroom at Bath wearing an
apron he promptly stripped it off and
threw 1t among the ladies' maids, OBJ
serving that none but Abigails ap-
peared in white aprons. It was her
fancy as she grew older to disregard
the changes Of fashion and to adhere
obstinately to the dress Of her younger
days. Her attire at times was 30 weird
that Lord Cornbury wrote, "She has
been called sir upon the road above
twenty times."-Nineteenth Century.

what is the real cause of the difficulty.
Keeping the grass hoed away from
the base of the tree not only decreases
the likelihood of the beetles depositing
her eggs, but usually enables the own

an inch, as sometimes the opening

SHADE AND SUNSHINE.

A matter that should be looked into
by every householder during the early
summer months is that of the shade
about the house. So rapidly do many
Of the varieties Of shade trees grow
that some pruning is necessary almost
every year II the house is not to be
buried in shade. 1t Is a fairly good
rule to follow that the house, as a
whole, should be in the sunshine half
the time. If this is not the case, one
should get busy with Ak and saw and
let the sunshine in. One need hard
ly be told that when the shade is so
dense that grass grows with difficulty
about the house, when moss grows on
the roof and mildew appears on books
and furniture in the house, there is en-
tirely too much of it, not only for the
good and durability Of the house, but
for the health of it's inmates. We are
often prone to sympathize with dwell
ers in treeless prairie homes who often
swelter in the July and August sun,
but they are not so much In need Of
pity as those whose dwellings are
swamped in shade and where mildew,
sow bugs and snails hold high carni-
val

While a large majority of the people

LAND FERTILITY.

After all, it is not so much the kind
Of crops raised as it is the way they
are raised and the care given the land
that causes land to maintain or lose
its fertility. In way of illustration
may be cited English farms which to-
day actually produce larger yields Of
roots and grain than they did 600 years
ago or farms in Holland where large
yields of flax are produced year after
year under careful system of artifi-
cial fertilization. An opposite extreme,
but still further illustrating the truth
of the statement above made, is the
system of cotton growing which has
been followed in the southern states.
which after from thirty to forty years
has left the soil in many sections we'll
nigh bankrupt. Another instance of
soil depletion is noticeable in the Sec
lions Of the corn belt in the middle
western states, and this in spite Of the
fact that corn does not pull heavily on
the soil and that relatively little at
tentiOn is needed in the matter Of fer
tilization and crop rotation to keep the
productivity of the soil where it ought
to be. While comparatively little stud
led and consequently but slightly I'M
derstood, the. question Of a mainte-
nance Of soil fertility is really one Of
subtraction and addition in that if
the strength Of the land Is to be main
tanned as much must be added to the
soil in the shape Of fertilizers Of some
sort as is taken from the soil in the
form OF crops There is no getting
around the logic Of this situation. Al
fellow might as'well expect to lift him.
self by his boot straps as to expect to
keep up the fertility Of his land when
he is taking more from it every year
In the shape Of crops than he makes
return in the shape Of fertilizers.

The extra cultivation of the field

The extra cultivation of the field of
corn, even if the job has to be done
with a single horse cultivator, often
results In an increased yield Of from
eight to twelve bushels per acre. Add
ed to this is the further fact that the
same stirring of the soil which makes
available increased moisture for the
rapidly developing corn also extermi-
mates myriads of weeds that would
otherwise draw heavily not only upon
the moisture, but the fertility Of the
soil.
