THE BACK YARD BEAUTIFUL.
With Little Effort Charming Flower
Garden May Be Cultivated.

From the Delineator for August.
Crusades for the establishment Of mu-
nicipal health, breathing spaces and
beauty by the various betterment socie-
ties and clubs, will, 1t is to be hoped,
count among their. victories the resurrec-
ton Of the city garden, the acknowledged
right of every householder. Aside from
it's esthetic value, no better way has
been found to dispose of the daily crop
of household cares and worries than to
bury them in the back yard, with bulb
or seed before they bury us; to cool with
a watering pot, while sprinkling thirsty
plants, the anger aroused by some real
or fancied injustice; to snip from our
memory unkind words, while shears are
busy with withered leaves and blossoms.
No home worth the name should lack
its flowers, and an appreciation of their
value will make them possible, either in
the neglected bit of ground below. up on
the roof, in window boxes, or in all three
places at once; for there cannot be too
many of them. The endlessly recurring
household duties. such as preparing veg
etables, darning stockings, mending and
sewing on buttons, which lack the COM
peHSdtinB creative element are roDDed OF
their monotony and transformed into
pleasure when performed in little green
arbor Flowers raised in our own little
yard seem to have more delicious per-
fume, and glow with more beautiful tints
than any others.
The most ugly back yards may be
transformed into a veritable Eden by the
planting of hollyhocks. castor beans or
morning glories near fence or shed to
hide its unsightly spaces These grow to
usefulness and beauty before the summer
heat makes one long for q green spot
where the cares and WEAKNESS of the
day may be forgotten. But he issa neigh

From the London Globe.
In the lobby of the reptile house at the
Geological gardens are now exhibited
some specimens of the golden tree frog
CHyIa aurea) from Australia. This beauti-
full little creature has a shining skin,
marked with spots of a golden color.
OF tree frogs there are numerous species,
widely distributed and all remarkable for
their brilliant celebration. In most frogs
the skin of the under surface Of the
body is smooth, but in these creatures
it is granular, being pierced by pores
through which moisture is absorbed into
the system.
In the breeding season these frogs make
for the water In the winter and in time
of drouth they hide in mud, or under
stones or the bark of trees; but most of
their life is passed in trees. Like chame-
Icons, tree frogs are subject to rapid
changes of color, so that the tints of their
skins harmonic with those of their i'm
mediate surroundings.
The resemblance between these frogs
and the foliage of the trees in which they
live is striking. Being distinguished only
with difficulty not only preserves the
tree frog from attack; its presence is not
easily detected by the small creatures
which form its natural food. Not only
flies, spiders and beetles, but moths, but
terflies and caterpillars are included in
its bill of fare.

REGARDING Manners.

Il was foreibly impressed with a ref
erenee to bad manners on the part of
women street car passengers in The
Age-Herald a few days ago" said a
citizen of good breeding.
Now, the women are common Of
tenders as to selhshness on the street
cars, but I wish to call attention to the
on-coming generation of men. I had
two experiences in one day that did
not inspire me favorably. I sat by a
boy about 10 ON one of the end
seats which parallels the aisle. He
unwillingly gave me portion and then
deliberately sat angularly so as to
force me to sit on the edge for quite
a distance. I felt constrained to re-
buke him but I've had quite a bit of
experience with such chaps and so 1
sat quietly. The other was a bis.
strapping youth who not only occupied
more than a fair share of the seat but
he persisted in blowing the smoke of
a cigarette so that it came toward me.
There was a sign up forbidding smok-
ing. but the conductor paid no more
attention to its enforcement than blind
tigers to prohibition"

Schemes For River Trade

A single capitalist has agreed to run
one steamer a week from New York to
st. Louis, thus saving to st. Louis mer-
chants IS ton on freight of the first
class, such as hats, shoes, carpets, dry
goods, shelf hardware, clothing and
cotton piece goods. These steamers
will land at Vicksburg the year round,
at Memphis nine months of the twelve,
and at st. Louis from four to six
months during the high water season.
The effects of this plan are thus pre-
scented:
For instance. the lowest rate on first
class freight from New York to Mem
phfs is 81 the 100 pounds. The new COM
pany's rate will be 40 cents the 100
pounds. or reduction of s12 a ton on
local Memphis freight.
The st. Louis rate is now IS cents the
100 pounds Under the new conditions 1t
will be about IS cents. DR. approximately
g q ton less than st. Louis merchants
now pay on first-class freight
In addition to this big reduction, St.
Louis will have differential of about 50
= ton in its favor and against Chicago.

HOTTEST PLACES IN NEW YORK.
A Factory Room Where the Temper
ature Is 212 Degrees Above Zero.

From the New York World.
That is really hot. Yes, it's the hottest
place in New York where men go and
live afterward to tell the tale. But few
are hardy enough to bear it.
This hottest place in town is in Des-
brosses street In a vulcanizing factory,
where telephone wires are insulated by
being coated with a preparation of rub
Der. In the room where this process takes
place the temperature rises TO PIP degrees
100 degrees hotter than the hottest it
may be outside In the sun. -
Man can endure no more.
Actually there are some who can stand
this however. Only a few, mind you, but
still some They are only the strongest
and hardest of the workmen, and they
can be in the room but few brief mins
utes at q time. Several times daily 1t is
their duty to enter the room to see that
all goes we'll.
To keep from losing their skin and to
protect themselves from the terrible heat
these men wear heavy wooden shirts, but
toned high about their necks, and wooden
masks and gloves Four or five minutes
at the most IN the VulCduiZliS IOOiii 10 al
they can stand without collapsing, and
some can't even stay that long.
Outside these men, nobody Is ever al
lowed to endure such a frightful heat,
2l2 degrees. You can get the same de-
gree of temperature by thrusting your
finger into boiling water. Water boils at
PIP degrees Fahrenheit
No native-born American can stand
such heat, and Observation-Disclosures and
Sicflians-make the best hands at such
work and make up the staff of employees
in the vulcanizing room. Even these
hardy sons of southern cimes often col
lapse from the terrific temperature.
There are plenty of other hot places In
New York, but none to compare with this.
In some of the big hotels it gets to l4e
degrees in the great kitchens. Cooks and
helpers have to work in that temperature
for hours unprotected. There is great
difference between 145 and 212 degrees
above zero, just the same. Some races can
endure a temperature of 150 degrees with
ont protection, but after the mercury has
passed tile ITO or $50 mark 1t means death
for any one to remain in 1t Tor any
length of time.
The kitchens in many of the hotels ana
;. .taurants are in the easements. Poorly
ventilated as they are, the temperature
remains practically stationary all day.

CALLS DUMA USELESS.
Novelist Bernstein Declares Russian
Government Still Autocratlc.

From the New York Times.
Herman Bernstein the novelist arrived
home Thursday on the Adriatic from q
trip abroad of several months, much of
which time he spent studying conditions
in Turkey and Russia.
1.-THE reaction in Russia, notwithstand-
ing the visits exchanged Between the
Car and other European rulers, is going
crescendo," he said Russia is contin-
uing brazenly its policy of discrediting
the principle of representative govern
ment by the people by lashing the duma
into submission, thus showing that It
cannot accomplish anything In high
places, as well as in low, the people are
frank in condemnation OF the duma,
which is more servile now than a year
ago, when I last visited Russia.
But while Russia, in its last desper-
ate efforts to maintain the old form of
government, is gradually revoking the So
called constitution, the government is
sending troops TO Persia under the pre-
text of forcing the Shah to maintain the
constitution.
''The recent meeting betw zen Kaiser
Wilhelm and the Gar attracted very little
attention in Russia. The people of Rus
STA were far more interested in the meet
ing of Russias two greatest men, Prof.
Metchnikoff and Count Tolstoi, which
took place at the same time at Yasnaya,
Polyana. Professor Metchnikoff, the head
of the Pasteur institute in Paris, the
greatest living bacteriologist, and Count
Tolstoi, the greatest living novelist. are
the two men who have done more to
uplift the prestige of the Russian people
than the Russian government has done to
discredit it. and everybody in Russia real
ICES that something must be hopelessly
wrong with the government since Metch-
nilxof1 comes only to visit his fatherland.
while he is honored and encouraged by
France as her leading scientist, and Toll
stoi is only tolerated by the Russian
government because of his International
pOpularity"

Cotton Crop Reports

Not a few people think the reports
of the census bureau and of the agri-
cultural department overlap. They
work independently in different fields,
and both are needed. The census bu-
reau confines its report to actual gin
ming operations, the entertainment Of
stocks, and the acreage from which
the cotton was gathered. The agricul-
tural department, on the other hand,
concerns itself with the growing crop,
endeavoring to ascertain through its
agents estimates from month to month
of conditions, acreage planted and esti-
mates of yield as the cotton season ap-
proaches it's ending. The one deals
in facts and the other in estimates,
and both are needed in the production
of the country's great export crop.
Were the government crop-reporting
machinery to be abolished, private in
terests would step in to do the work,
and not one of them would command
the confidence that the government
reports do. Instead of lessening the
government reports, they should be
bettered until they become as useful
as official reports ever become or can
be made. The existing machinery fur
nishes a good basis for any improve
ments that can be suggested.
