Irrigation has been made house
hold art in Chicago for the winter
care of potted plants by an ingenious
provision forl a. water reservoir under
the dirt. AS a result the old-fash-
ioned floral displays in windows ex-
posed to the sun have become suffi-
ciently convenient in flats to give a
new impetus TO the growing of ger
aniums and things. The wives who
live in flats. with little housework
and many allurements to bridge par
ties and theaters, now can go OF for
a week IL they want to and leave the
watering of their flowers to a sponge
which connects the reservoir below
with the soil in which the flower
roots eat, drink and are merry. The
preference of Chicagoans for fats and
apartment buildings was blow at
many old-fashioned customs, dear to
feminine hearts, but by the sub-irri-
cation method the window flower GUS

pany's investment in the business
now includes s7S,9SS,31S of surplus
accrued by the expansion OF the busi-
ness in the half century since 1t was
founded by p. ID. Armour, and the
capital stock of $2O,0OO,OOO. The re-
cent report of Morris & Co. showed
net earnings, after the deduction of
bond interest and administration ex-
penses, to be s1,402,5OO, an amount
which the big fire loss will almost
wipe out even when the insurance Is
adjusted. j. Ogden Armour, the
president of Armour & Co., made this
terse comment to the stockholders:
"The earnings, which equal about 8 "
per cent on the net capital invest
ment, are fair, considering the un-
usual and unfavorable conditions un-
der which the company operated dur
ing the year" The earnings of the
packing business for 1910 were less

contingencies being not considered. If

magnitude of tho business has been
more or less obscured in late years

port the profits have been made by

runs across the green turf and the
squirrels scamper about without fear
of molestation. The picture is one of

ness.
Vainly does Captain Archibald Butt

flannels, invade the domain of pro-
found serenity In an effort to evoke
the glory of the days that were. Beck
man Winthrop, assistant secretary of
the Navy, and Ambassador Jusserand,
members of that informal cabinet
which is now but memory, struggle
to revivify the fading tradition that
traced parallel in the triumphs of
lstatecraft and the victories of the
tennis court. Even the untrammeled
energy of Charles Taft, who some
times diyerts his attention from more
boylsh pursuits to whale the ball over
the fence or into the fountain, lifts
but momentarily the impalpable veil
of melancholy sadness which drops
its folds all the more closely after
this burst of juvenile activity.

Chianti and other famous Italian

ury Department.
Bottles containing these and similar
other kinds of goods are usually COW
cred with a straw plating, which was
formerly considered sure proof Of
foreign origin. But IL seems of late
that there has been quite a trade
in the importation into this country
of empty bottles with straw coverings
Heretofore the Treasury Department
has allowed these to come i'm without
additional duty, on the ground that
they were used In good faith to pro-
tect the bottles from breakage
Recently, however, the Department
investigated the matter and reached
the conclusion that the straw COW
erings or jackets were not usual COW
erings for empty bottles imported in
to this country.
1t appears that other varieties of
empty bottles imported at Boston and
Philadelphia are invariably packed in
loose straw; at Baltimore the majori-
ty come in bales of straw covered
burlap and at New York only about
20 per cent are imported in straw COW
ers.
Instructions have therefore been
sent out by the Department directing
collectors of customs to hereafter
treat the straw coverings and empty
bottles as If they were separately inn
ported. This means that they will
come in as 'manufacturcs of straw"
and pay a duty OF 90 per cent ad
