new beauties and fresh ideas for the summer
garden Here is a patch of garlic growing
among the geum, the saxifrages and sedums.
1t is in three coIorngs, each effective and pretty
the white, like the wild flower of the WOODS
and meadows, fine gold like the buttercup' and
a madder pink. Close by is a very useful dwarf
phlox with thick spikes of tiny blooms in many
colors, and the graceful dropping curves or the
dialytra, sometimes called the bleeding heart OF
Iyre flower which in it's slightly affected graces
resembles the mincing fine lady Of Louis Phil
ippes times. The dielytra is very pretty how
ever in the border among its straiSht-up neigh
bors and merits the place the gardeners have
given it here.
Among the bulbs, late it is in the season
there is a very fine exhibit of tulips, showing
what has been accomplished in the last yeaI
with this flower. OF the ordinary and also on
the parrot species the colorings are more varied
than ever. but the newest plants are among the
cornutas-those curious blossoms whose petals
are drawn out into long threads. which must
immensely surprise the flowers themselves. The
black tulip is apparently still far off, though
here is purple that is nearly black. The cor
nutas, the other hand. remain in the golden

More in season. and therefore in better condi-
ton, are the irises. Here there are specimens
that do not even recall the splendid sword plant
which We know In France, on banners and tap
estry, as the neur- -de-lls. The gardeners In
doubling the iris have changed and scarcely
beautidcd It. Here some large and hand
some specimens OF their art in fine rich color
ings. and a few enormous specimens of the mar
volIous iris de Suze. with its network Of fine
vcining on a pale gray ground.
Among the carnations, among the stand
ard roses, may be found all the curious half
shades used this by Paris milliners on
the womens hats. 1t would be unsafe now
adays to declare any shade Of any flower un-
natural; here is every kind OF tone-a mauve
carnation has blush tips to its petals; a rose
apparently in good health has brownish or
duh purple hue, and looks freakish enough by
this rich de Rohan crimson or the classical pink
Of la France.
flower that has been brought to remarkable
perfection is the gerbera- Here is a whole bed
devoted to the starry, daisylike blooms, and they
display every variety Of pink known to us The
beautiful large blossoms, with their delicate
petals and golden centres, supported on long
stems, leaving the foliage far below. and thus
seen in a mass they are singularly lovely. The
sweetpea is represented here, but the French
varieties insignificant beside the superb
specimens sent from the other side of the Chan
mel. For some reason this flower does not thrive
in France.
AS usual, the vegetable section of the show Is
well stocked with the produce CT the kitchen
gardens: the small early carrots and turnips
and the young. delicatey scented onions ara
specially inviting looking, and the salads ara
endless in variety The beans fill foreigner

While exceeded in length by a number OF

Walking through this part OF the show, one can
only wonder how the exhibitors managed to get
all these summer plants into full bloom in the
middle of May for here are Canterbury bells
in great beauty: lupines; a charming scarlet
geum filling up spaces with its light, pretty
little blossoms; siIvery century in its cool blue,
one of the very few that you might find in
bloom now in the Paris area; some foxgoves,
or dgtalis as the French call it, and a large
variety of the almost endless family OF aster.
with nlarigolds single and double and every
thing else, apparently, except the stately holly
hook.
The novel feature of this years show is seen
when you turn to the stocks, phloXes ana
peonies Gardeners are no longer straining after
colossal blooms in new shades; they are devot-
ing their energies to producing in one family
the characteristics of another, and so here
among the sweet, old-fashiOned stocks you VIII
find a group with wallhower coorings. Here
is the speckled yellow the irregular brown OF
the giIlyfiower, a stock stem, and the
simple forets on their cool, grayish, powdery
stalks look little wistfully out of their fancy

q brave show among the Haunting pinks and
reds.

PARIS FLOWER SHOW.
An AttractiUe Exhibition GiUeB IN
the TuiIerieS.

Paris, May 24.
This years Flower Show has proved trial Of
strength for the landscape gardeners of the
French Horticultural Society. The recent dem
olition of the greenhouses of the city of Paris
under the avenues of the Cours la Refine and on
the banks of the green Seine compelled the or
ganizers of the annual show to accept the only
available free space that the capital had to
ofer-nameIy, the Tuileries with a long,
straight marquise tent to shelter the lovely ex-
hibits. You cannot get great variety of line or
of lighting in a tent and beautiful as is the
collection of flowers shown the ensemble GER
tainly lacks the brilliancy lent to former con-
cours horticoles by the blaze of vivid color that
used to radiate from beneath the lofty glass
dome of the Series.
Perhaps the most interesting section of the
present show Is that of climbing cluster roses

Chances BANKING Bill,

The joint committee on banking in
the legislature has been at work for
the past two or three days, and has
made several changes in the bill as
originally drawn.
One of the most important is that
relating to assessments to build up a
guaranty fund. Instead of making the
first two assessments - Of l per cent,
it is proposed to make one assess
ment of IL of l per cent in July of
this year IA of 1 per cent in January
of next year and IA Of 1 per cent in
July, 1910. After that there shall be
an annual assessment of 1-10th of l
per cent.
Instead of a maximum OF per cent
that may be levied in any one year
the maximum is placed at 1 per cent
year. The provision prohibiting
loans to stockholders in excess of so
per cent, once taken out, was restored.

Paris streets must be in queer way
when the project of police, NJ. Lepine,
has to issue mandate that it is a pun
ishable offense to throw orange or ba-
mana skins into the streets, and that
anyone eating an orange in them will
be watched by eagle-eyed policemen.
1t is embarrassing enough to eat an
orange without the police inspecting
the operation, and to conceal evil
dences of the crime must be worse vet.
But M. Lepine's order is absolute He
says 1t is a detestable habit, that it en-
dangers life, for the fruit eater is self
ish, and casts away the slippery skins,
regardless of who may slip on them
and break bone No, not even into
the gutter can any such refuse go!
Persons who have slipped on the pave
ments frequently sprained or fractured
their limbs, and with the rapid traffic
of motor cars and buses there is every
chance of accidents that will prove
fatal. The home dust bin is best.

Why Not Be Independent?

1t seems to me that many pe7ple
miss the true SAVIOR of outdoors by de-
pending too much on the assistance of
others. One finds on all sides tales of
how men go into the wilds and give
themselves over to the enjoyment of
nature, but somewhow many of these
stories show plainly that it was not
the sportsman who did things. Too
often the sophisticated reader and out
door man detects the fact that it was
the guides skill which brought the
game in range of the rifle. The guide
did the tracking, or he called the
moose, or he pointed out the game for
THE hunter to see. Somehow most
trips into the wilds are not declara-
tions of independence. They are, in
fact, plain statements of dependence
upon anothers skill, another's knowl-
edge and anothers strength. After the
guide has driven the deer to ones
stand-"To make long story short,
half an hour passed before George, the
guide, who had come up, finally found

and l stillhunted," and it was the

cry the value of guides, though 1 never
hired but one. writes Raymond S.
| Spears in Recreation. If one is really

| woods alone, then stick to the guide
| like a burr. If one wants packers,
cooks and other servants, well and
good. 1t does save time to Have ones
meals prepared and dishes washed by
| another. But when it comes to the &C
tual hunting, why not strike out alone
and shoot game without the assistance
| of another's eyes, anothers ears, and
another's rifle, which happens fire
| quently when guide with a gun is
| alongside at every stride.

An Amusing Controversy.

An amusing controversy is going on
in Berlin between Miss Olga Desmond
and the Prussian diet regarding the
cult of beauty. AS may be remem-
.bered, the lady is an "altogether" dan
Ger who favors the unclOthed truth as
a sartorial principle. Dr. Roeren, who
led the onslaught on her has been
called down by her solicitor, who
draws attention to the fact that he
made use of certain very harsh terms
lin his references to her. But Herr
Roeren declines to enter into CORE
spondence with the alluring Miss Des-
mond-wise manufacturer directly or
indirectly, as to his parliamentary ac-
5ivity' in calling her by vigorous ad-
jectives. The affair has attracted an
enormous amount of attention in Ber-
din circles, and the dancer is not likely
to suffer any immediate pecuniary loss
through the debate in the diet 1t is,
declares the Boston Herald, good
deal as if the beauteous Miss Garden
should be hailed up for her posturings
in Strauss music drama by an insen-
safe member of congress; therefore
DR.. Roeren's Interpolation on the cult
of the nude falls fiat, while Berlin
smiles.

Quick Action on Insanity Bill.

Upon motion of Ransom the senate
rules were suspended and H. r. No.
11S was advanced to third reading
and passed. This measure was intro
duced in the house by Wilson, but
Ransom explained that it had been
prepared by Attorney General Thomp-
son and his deputy, Grant Martin, who
were anxious that it pass at once.
1t carries the emergency clause and
will become law as soon as it re-
ceives executive approval.
This measure provides that when a
person has been condemned to death
and the question of sanity is raised,
the matter shall be referred to the dis
trict judge from the district in which
the condemned person was convicted.
Should the judge, upon making inves-
tigation, find that the prisoner might
be mentally deranged, he shall sum
mon the superintendent of the three
state insane hospitals, who shall pass
upon the case. Should they report
that the convict is insane, sentence
will be suspended otherwise it will

To Look Up WAYNE Normal.

The report OF the finance commit
tee on the purchase of the Wayne
normal school which placed it on gen.
eral file recommended that a commit
tee of five be sent to Wayne to inves-
tivate the situation. Wilson of Polk
moved to reconsider the adoption of
the report. He said $4,000 had al
ready been appropriated for normal
school at Ainsworth and he did not
believe in spending any more money
just now on normal schools. Kuhl
warned him that If his bill was turned
down the other sections of the state
would be remembered by the north
when their appropriations came up.
He thought the purchase good propo-
sition and the price of 100000 only
about fifty cents Oh the dollar. Graft,
a member from the northeast, was
opposed to buying the school and i'll
favor of a reconsideration. Speaker
Pool appointed d committee consisting
of Leidigh, Holmes, Bowman, Fogarty
McColl, Nettleton and Bushee to in
vestigate the merits of the purchase.

Insurance Bills Were Considered.

The senate committee of insurance
Thursday night held its last hearing
for the insurance men of the state
who cared to discuss the merits of the
various bills that are now before the
upper house. Room 40 at the Lindell
hotel that night was crowded with
local insurance agents and with lobby
lists from nearly all of the large COM
panies, but the meeting was a peace
full one. The members of the COM
mittee heard the arguments of the
attorneys and the agents of the COM
panies and noted what they deemed
worthy of consideration.
