Why Trees XIII Grass.

It is a matter of common obscr-
walton that grass does not grow so
well close to trees as in the open.
The same is true of grains. Expert
ments in this country and in Eng
land have shown that the dclctcr-
ious effects upon one another Of
grass and trees are mutual. The
trees suffer as well as the grass and
grain. This is especially true of
fruit trees. The cause is ascribcd to
the excretion by the trees, or the
one hand, of substances poisonous
to the grass, and by the grass, on
the other hand, of substances pOis-
nous to the trees. 1t thus appears
that the failure of grass to grow
well near trees should not be as
cribed to too much shade, nor to the
exhaustion by the tree roots Of the
food needed by the grass.-Harpcr's
Weekly.

The beauty and harness of amber
have long caused it to be esteemed
by smokers. In Turkey as much as

most valuable is the opaque lemon

NATURES SCULPTORS.
They Are Wind. Water, Volcano Fire
and Internal Forces.

wv CRU FoTScs'
The irresistible forces of nature
that are forever carving and shap-
ing our world, here and there, as if
for recreation in their toll, play
queer pranks. Wind, water, volcano
fire and those mysterious internal
forces that now and then exert their
fury and make the old earth trem-
BILE, all are sculptors that year by
year and century after century mold
and shape the earth's topography,
rounding off and smoothing down
and filling up in one place, while at
the same time they rend and break
and tear hill and plain, hurl up new
mountain ranges, make new islands
in the sea, and spread d~esolation in
vast areas that for ages have been
smiling gardens.
There are several noteworthy ex-
amples of these masterpieces Of
matchmaking sculpture that have
long attracted tourists, and the re-
cent opening of newer regions
through the encroachments of COM
merce and pioneering is daily bring
ing to public knowledge more
of these interesting phenomena.
Among the Canadian Rockies tow
ers Cathedral Peak, which for I'M
told ages since first perhaps some
awful seismic upheaval reared this
towering range, the winds and the
glaciers have been carving. Now it
stands with two twin peaks nearly
as symmetrical as the towers Of
those wonderful edifces which chal-
lenge the admiration of the tourist
in Europe.
Better known, yet no less ad-
mircd, is the Mount of the Holy
Cross in Colorado. This peak tow
crs aloft to a height of l4,l15 feet
and on its eastern face, visible for
miles around, is the fgur' of IA Il
gantic cross. The appearance is due
to perpetual snow which fills the
cavities Of intersccting canyons.
The upright of the cross is 1000
feet long and the arms mcasur"
from 200 to 300 feet. The noun
tain forms the western wall of a
great natural amphitheatcr and the
mighty cross %upreared to meet the
rising sun seems to an impressions
able beholder to be an exalted
shrine reared by Omnipotencc. with
the surrounding amphithealer il
gathering place for the nations.
The Imagination Of tourists has
long been exercised to discern the
figures which the two beautiful
Mexican mountains, P~opocatcrotl
and Ixtacchihuatl, are said to re-
semble. The latter name is Aztec
for "The White Lady," and the
Mexicans have long held a legend
that when Adam and Eve were drIv-
en- from the Garden Of Eden they
wandered over the face of the earth
in search of another place as fair.
The valley of Mexico seemed to
them a second Eden and here they
sat down to rest. Wearicd with her
journey, Eve slept and faithful
Adam kept watch over her. In this
position they were both frozen and
have so remained to this day

pledge to redistric, the State. and the fulflment of 1t devolves upon the in coming Legislature. We confess to an acute curiosity as to whether the districts will be GU, upon the gerry manding plan adopted in constructing the present State Senatorial districts, the outlines of some of which are of a peculiarly wandering lype designed to assure Republican majority in the Senate.
 Since the census of 1900 and the fol- lowing reapportionment by Congress. Connecticut has had five Representa- lives, one chosen at-large. The pur- pose of the ai,-large plan. adopted iii almost direct conflict with the law, was, it has long been understood. to "save Hill" It would have been very difficult to carve out a fifth dis ,rict without depriving him of 8 part or all of that Republican stronghold, Litchfield county. and leaving him to depend mostly or wholly upon Fair field county which is an uncertain quantity.
 The same trouble will confront the incoming Legislature. particularly as Fairfield county is now entitled to the exclusive possession of a Representa- tive in the House.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

To wipe the hardwood floors around carpets, use soft cloth over a broom and have plenty of turpentine in the water.
 Serve white dry wine. such as Sau- tern or Rhine, with fish: after the fish until the roast. claret: with the roast Burgundy: with sweet dishes. cham pa~ne or Tokay, and with coffee, brandy or cordials. t<Ss Oranges dressed with oil and vine gar make an excellent salad. The oranges should be cut up into small p'eces and vested Of as much of their white fibre as possible. A lit tie sugar may be used.
 After the usual cleaning of white kid gloves with gasoline put the gloves on and rub the hands in corn meal This VII remove the odor and at the same time give the fresh new look which cleaned gloves seldom have.
 To keep fruit or vegetables longer they should be removed from their wrapping as soon as received in the Kitchen and spread out so that they will not touch each other. This should be done even with lima beans.
 The tops of bureaus and tables will be kept longer in good condition if sheets of blott 'ne paper are laid under the covers. This not only prevents rquids scarring the polished surface, but makes the linen cover look better.
 A good carpet cleaner may be made by shaving pure white soap in a gallon of water and letting 1t boil un- til dissolved. To this add an. ounce of ether a~d sc~ub the carpets thor- oughly with the mixture. Later rinse with fresh water.
 An excellent stuffing for naked to- ~,otoes 'e ene'~ chouped sweet pep pers. Put a lump of butter into the [ ,r,ato. season we'll and salt and a little sugar and black pepper. Put lumps of butter on top, add a little water to pan and bake slowly for an hou~ and half
 Instead of frying or broil'ng mutton chops trv banning them in the oven. Just as they are ready to serve pour over them a glessful of currant jelly melted by standing for few minutes in hot water. Currant jelly prepared Tn the same way may be poured over the grilled breast of lamb.

There seems now to be a general impression that the chairmanship of the Judiciary committee will go to Senator Stiles Judson of the 18th dis trfct. At one time, the indications were that not only would the chair manship be denied to him. but also that he would not be named to even a subordinate position upon the conn mittee. Tho fact that 1t might be exceedingly impolitic to snub the State Business Mems Association. evidently dawned upon the powers that be.
 By the way if Representa- i've Hutchinson of Essex. q Republican elected with Democratic aid. Is to be debarred from the Republican legis- lative caucuses. as is the evident in- tention. how about Senator Judson who received Democratic support and encountered no Democratic opposition at the polls? It Hutchinson's loyalty to his party Is tain.ed, how about Jud- sons? Both seem to be tarred with the same Democratic stick. Consis. tcncy seems to demand that if he caucus door be closed against Hutch, ineon. Judson also should be refused adrittance. As the McLeanites ap- pear to be "in the saddle. and Judson favors Bulkeley. the argument of con- sis.ency may fruit.

 Tn comp niny colors. the brirhter shade is almost always yelled with the darker and if a third color Is 'ntro- duced 1t is limited to the details of the dress-the sash, the embroidery or tho bead trimming.
 The sleeves of sore of the coats are often finished with trimming of small buttons suggesting a high cuff. When cuffs are used they aye in two Fextremes, either the hirh-rolling shape Tor just narrow turned back band.
 Cans with their full crowns of gold Or silver net, their frills about the fface and the'r quaint flower or jew Ac1 garniture. are made for wear un- der hats, the cap frill framing the face coquettishly and softly under a more flaring hat brim.

A PERMANENT
 TARIFF COMMISSION

As the present tariff board appoint ed by President Taft, is not of per maraent character. several bills pro- vidtng for a permanent commission have appeared in Congress. Repre- sentative Longworth of Ohio. who IS a member of the House Ways and Means committee. has prepared an- other bill of similar effect. which is to be considered by that committee, Chadrn,an Payne predic ing. that some measure of the kind will be passed by the present Congress.
 TAe Longworth bill provides for a commission of five members. with sal aries of $7.500 each. It will collect facts and will be authorized to require confidential data from corporations. which will be reported. upon reaues', to the President or the Senate Finance and House Ways and Means commit tee. but the commission will not be authorized to m ake recommends dations "a very singular provision which in dica.es that Congress may fear the eff feet of the commissions findings when accompanied by recommendations.
 The commission is to investigate the cost of production. the wages of for eign and American labor. the prices of raw materials. the condition of for eign and domestic markets. etc. In scope. the outlined duties of the com- mision appear comprehensive.
 The full term of the members is to be six years but commencing with two. three. four and five year periods. Opposition of the our spoken type will probably be upon the ground of ex- pense. but behind this will be the hos tility of the over-hiehly protected in- terests to any means likely to throw light irto the dark places of the tar if. which are many and some of them ncrstrous te -.s
 With a fairly constructed tariff com mission in operation. even trousf1 de- harred from making recommendations. and with revision by individual sched- ule or item provided for by a joint rule. there seems to be a possibility of justice being finally accorded to the consumer who has for so long been fattening the inordinaoe profits of pro- ducers.

EE15=1zz.. s... Shepard who is can didate for U. S. Senator from New York. has answered questions address ed to him by one of MT. Hearst's newspapers. His answers show that he voted for Palmer. Den-. for Presi- dent in 1896. and for Bryan in 1900 and 1908. For Governor of New York he has voted since 1894 for every Demo- cratic candfdaee except for Hearst in 1906. his reason for the omission in 1906 being that "Mr. Hearst's concep- tion of the effective usefulness of the Democratic party as an instrument of good government was differen from our own." MT. sheperd's action in 1896 and 1906 was that of many other Democrats. and 1t does not bar his Senatorial candidacy now when he seems to be in full sympathy with Democratic policies. But fs Is fairly evident that his candor has lost him the Heart support.
