NV ideal hostess. says a friend OF
mine is the friend who from the mo-
ment Of your arrival makes you feel at
home. and lets you know that she Is
glad to see YOU. But. while giving a
hearty welcome, she is not too gushing,
neither does she give you the impress
sion that the whole house has been
turned upside down in preparation for
your reception, as one friend with
whom I stay sometimes does.
She entertains her guests, or sees
that they are entertained, without any
apparent effort, and when the visit
comes to an end never fails to express
to them the pleasure their company
has been to her.
She remembers all my pet weakness
that l do not take sugar in my tea.
Realizing that l am fond of books,
she places a few that she knows are
favorites, in my room, so that I may
have q quiet half hours read at any
time if I wish to do 50.
Other little conveniences that she
thoughtfully provides are pens. ink,
ana writing paper, also a list of the
post times, and a railway guide, and in
a conspicuous position there is always
a card giving the times of the various
meals.
If you happen to arrive unexpectedly
she does not make you feel uncom-
Portable by profuse excuses for what
YOU the best she has without any apol-
ogies. Should her visitor chance to be
one who leads a busy life, my ideal
hostess has the tact and good sense to
try and give her a really restful holi-
day, instead of rushing her into reg
ular whirl of entertainment. in which
she has scarcely time to breathe. She
knows that to busy people a restful
holiday, during which they are allowed
to be as lazy as they please, is often
great boon.
She never asks curious questions or
repeats gossip.
If her visitor is a girl she somehow
always contrives to make her appear
at her best, and makes her feel at
home by allowing her to assist in any
little household duty that she can hand
over to her. She, too, has a delightful
way of making her feel that she is of
some Importance, and realizes that
however much a girl may appreciate
the society of her elders, she does like
TO occasionally have young people
asked to meet her.
She has the kindest of hearts, and
never makes disparaging remarks
about the clothes of her guests; but if
the latter is quite young and her ap-
pearance is not suited to some special
occasion, she may tactfully suggest
some slight alteration, or offer the loan
Of some lace or some ornament, for
even though she herself has passed the
bloom of youth, she does not forget
what it is like to be young. and knows
that girls very often cannot afford to

Case May Be Reviewed.

The order of the washington COM
mission made a few days ago re-
curing a fiat reduction on grain rates
on the Northern Pacific of II IL per
cent becomes effective of its own
force 90 days after service of notice
upon the Northern Pacific. During
that 20 days the Northern Pacific
has the right to petition to the su-
perior court for a review of the COM
missions findings. The law provides
as follows:
Pending such review. the court
having jurisdiction may, in its discre-
ton, suspend the order of the COM
mission until the further order of the
court pending such litigation, in
which event the court may require
a bond with good and sufficient Sc
curity, conditional that such company
petitioning for such review shall an
swer for all damages caused by the
delay in the enforcement of the
order of the commission, and all COM
pensation for whatever sums for
transportation, transmission or SER
vice any person or corporation shall
be compelled to pay pending the re-
view proceedings, in excess of the
sum such person or corporation would
have been compelled to pay if the
order of the commission had not been
suspended"
It is also provided that in the event
appeal is taken to the supreme court

Growth of Plant Roots.

The penetrative power of growing
London Globe says.
Sometimes, for example, the root of
a grass may be found growing right
through the tuber of a potato or the
bulb of a narcissus.
The radicle of terminating wheat
again has been found boring its way
into ice, while in other cases the roots
of seedlings have been known to pierce
through tinfoil.
Perhaps the most remarkable case
on record of such penetrative power
in plant roots is that given by G. Tor
nier in the transactions of a Berlin
Natural history society. In this case
the underground stem, or rhizome, of
a sedge was grown right through two
eggs of a species of lizard.
Where the sedge enters and leaves
the egg the shell has been dissolved
away. The eggs were normal, and
in one case a rOOtlet was growing into
the mouth of the embryo.
A somewhat different example of the
penetrative power of a plant is that
given by M. Dangeard in the bulletin
of the Botanical society of France. In
this case a diatom has acted as knife
and cut in two a species of protocol.
And it seems to have done this in Vir-
tue of its own motion, pushing through
it as an icebreaker goes through the

bond conditioned as set forth in
the foregoing shall be required of the
company appealing.
Under the provisions of the sec
ton quoted it is understood that if
the Northern Pacific seeks a review
OF the railway commissions order in
the courts and the courts finally sus-
tain the ruling of the commission,
shippers will have the right of re-
covery for freight charges paid in
excess of the reduced rate ordered.
100000 Is involved.
The Northern Pacific, it is firmly
believed by railroad men, will appeal
from the commissions ruling, for
about 100000 in revenues is involv-
ed. If it does and the order is tenn
grain shippers at Washington COM
petitive points will patronize the
Northern Pacific with the expectation
of ultimately getting refund of
II IL per cent.
1t is conceded that this puts the
O. r. & n. up against a peculiar sit
uation. 1t is not involved in the grain
rate order and therefore shippers can
have no later recourse against it for
a rebate If it does not make a cut
of 121-2 cents now, however, it is
likely to lose large amount of ton
mage. If it does make a reduction
at competitive Washington points it
must apply the same rate to Oregon
points of equal distance from Port
land and if it does this the Northern
Pacific will undoubtedly be compelled
to grant the reduced rate at once,
appeal or no appeal. The shippers
would rather have an immediate re-
duction of II ID cents than a possible
one in the future and in the event of
a cut would patronize the O. r. & N.
unless the Northern Pacific fell in
line.
One feature of the section quoted
is pointed out as having a further
tendency to precipitate cut in rates.
The law seems to make the suspen-
sion of the commissions order dis
cretionary with the court before
which the review proceedings are in
stituted. The court in the Northern
Pacific case may not suspend the
order. in which event the new rates
will be in force early in October. pro-
vided notice is given the Northern
Pacific at once.

recovery of the difference between the
reduced and the present rate in the
event the ruling is sustained. How
ever, it is claimed the section is capa
bic of two interpretations and the
shippers are likely to adopt the one
that suits them better, which means
that they will favor the Northern
Pacific in the hope of ultimately col
lecting a rebate unless the @. r. &
n. meets the cut
The grain rate order promulgated
by the Washington railway commits
sion is the final step in proceedings
that have covered several years of
active work The complaint on wheat
rates was filed in 1906 and the first
work undertaken by the commission
was to determine the actual valuation
of all the principal railroads operat-
ing in Washington.
Road Values Determined.
1t was necessary to determine the
valuations for the purpose of later
ascertaining whether the net revenue
of the railroads provided an income
out of proportion to the capital at
work. The task of determining the
valuations consumed nearly two
years and was practically the pioneer
work of that kind in the United
States. Eastern engineers were en-
ployed and the railroad property was
thoroughly gone over; voluminous
records of the cost of the original
roads and the improvements subse-
quently made were searched and tab
ulated; then there were extensive
hearings and the valuations were fix
ed late in 1908.
These valuations were far under
those submitted by the railway COM
panies, and it was contended at that
time that the railroads had boosted
values in order to put the net rev.
enues at a reasonable percentage of
the capital invested. 1t was known
that the Washington authorities
would take the railway valuations as
found by the commission as a basis
for railway taxation, but the rail-
roads. apparently preferred higher
taxes to lower rates. A low valua-
ton meant low taxes, but it also
meant a reduction in rates One of
the Washington railway commits
sioners, ]. c. Lawrence, in one Of
the hearings declared that the rail-
roads were between the devil and
the deep sea- the devil being low
rates and the deep sea being high
taxes.

Chemical Action of Humus.

BY the action of humuS minerals in
the soil are changed to plant food.
Likewise it retains nitrogen in the soil
the most valuable ingredient, and the
most valuable Observation-Disclosures
most costly fertilizer to buy. Humus
is the home of beneficial bacteria, and
it retains moisture.
The land should be deeply plowed, so
as to allow the humus to get deeply
into the soil, for it is then that it gives
the greatest benefit to the long roots.
In soils here in the east it is seldom
that humus is found more than inch
es below the surface, while in California
it is quite frequently discovered feet
below the surface, making the latter
soil vastly richer than that of the east.
Deep blowing will encourage tree
roots to grow more deeply. which is
point of economy. as the deeper the
root of the tree, the less fertilizer VIII
be required upon the surface, and the
more food will be brought up from the
depths. Another good reason for ploW-
ing an orchard deeply is to break any
shell or hard puan that very often
face. and which has a tendency to
prevent water from soaking down.
Saving Seed.
Look after the saving of seed from
the best specimens of tomatoes, Gu
cumbers, squash and other vegetables,
and when they are perfectly dry, place
in glass jars so they will be free from
the depredations of zlice. Label the
Jars with the name of the variety and
the year grown, and if there is any
item you wish to remember connected
with certain kind of variety make a
note of it and place with the seeds
while the fact is fresh in your mind.
Seed should also be saved of peas,
beans and sweet corn as these are so
bulky and cost so much to buy. Where
there is danger of weavil, it would be
we'll to place a little bisulphide of car
bon in the vessel containing the peas
and beans. cover tightly and leave a
few hours before removing the seeds to
the receptacle they are to be kept in
over winter. This will destroy the Wee
vii but will not hurt the terminating
qualities of the peas.

portion are alive and will nuder proper
