THE INTENSIVE GARDEN.
Lessons From Small Plots Cultivated
by French and Belgians.

If we would live by gardening We
must study the ways of gardening.
Ii Was a shrewd old English farmer
who used to say to his sons, Put
the horse to and let us drive round
and see what other people are after
The French market gardeners
about Paris are the most skilful grow
ers in the world-except the Chinese
and the average garden of an acre
Or two titled TO the eyebrows" as
they say, shows the following re-
turns, given by our Consuls and bust
ness men interested in the matter:
There are of course exceptions,
where the total income from one
acre is $4,000 year, but as a usual
thing the gardens yield but 81 500 to
the acre and the average annual pro-
fit of the gardener is not over
thousand dollars
How many ministers and college
professors and teachers and small
shopkeerers, artists and literary folk
are there making a healthy living and
putting thousand dollars a year in
the bank besides?
The common French gardener
makes this by intensive gardening.
True, he begins with certain advan-
tages. For generations before him
his family have been gardeners, and
the instinct for the best methods run
in the blood Within a ten mile cir
o,,ic r.
dens, models of care and culture,
some of which have been held by the
same families for 200 years. These
gardens are not large; the largest
is said to be not more than four
acres, common gardens are not more
than two acres, and not the smallest
profits are taken from plots of a
quarter acre titled with the finest
care
Their very name, the marais gar
dens, come from the marais or marsh
es of the Seine, which were drained
four generations ago to get at their
rich black soil These plots are
tucked away in angles of the old
Notifications. Or backed by the city
walls, which protect them from
mort hand east winds. Or else the
garden has its own walls, eight to
fifteen feet high on the north and
east sides, giving a climate of it's
own.
Old gardens dating from Louis
Philippe's time and before have hol-
low brick walls with heated f1ues to
force winter fruit On trees trained
against them. A border two and a
half feet wide along these walls will
yield more fruit of the finest quality
than we commonly take from half
an acre of orchard In winter leanto
Or apan-roof shelters of glazed sash
protect the black Hamburg and
chasselas grapes, or the peaches, red
and perfumed, which weigh ten
ounces apiece. By May these glass
houses can be taken down and the
trees rest and grow strong in the
open air all summer.

ing prominent official of great pack
ing company, is not an ordinary man.
He refused to obey the order, and the
Judge issued warrant for his commit
ment for contempt of court. Here,
again, we find vast difference be-
tween Tilden and an ordinary man.
One of the common herd, if adjudged
guilty of contempt would have submit
ted to the laws edict and have paid
his fine or gone to Jail. Not so Mr..
Tilden, the packing company official.
AS soon as the warrant for commit
ment was issued, and before it could

convenient and friendly judge and Sc
cured writ of habeas corpus to re-
lease said Tilden from an Imprisonment
that hadn't yet occurred. Immediate
ly upon service of the warrant, the
writ of habeas corpus was served on
the officer, and Tilden was set free
pending the decentralization of the
proceeding through the various courts.
Perhaps it is treason to say anything
against the courts, perhaps it is polit-
ical heresay to suggest that existing
laws might be improved, but we be-
lieve that even Standpatter would ad-
NIT that the privilege Tilden has been
allowed of defying investigation isn't
exactly in accordance with the Golden
Rule.

DEEDS, NOT WORDS
Ladysmith People Have Absolute
Proof of Deeds at Home.

It's not words but deeds that prove
true merit.
The deeds of Doan's Kidney Pills,
For Ladysmith kidney sufferers,
Have made their local reputation.
Proof lies in the testimony of
Ladysmith people who have been
cured to stay cured.
Mrs. T. Kadlec, Seventh St., Lady
smith, Wis, says: For several
months I was troubled by pains in
the small of my back and often the
attacks were SO severe that | could
not sleep. The kidney secretions
were unnatural and dizzy spells were
common. Doan's Kidney Pills, pro
cured at MONEYS Pharmacy, re-
lieved all these difficulties and thus
convinced me of their merits .

BURNS SECRET
LEAKS OUT

LEANS OU
1t is reported from New York that
the crux of the case of w. J. Burns,
the Chicago detective against the Nc
Namara brothers for participation in
the Los Angeles Times and other dyna-
mite outrages through the country will
largely rest upon statements declared
to have been made by the accused
themselves without their knowledge,
in the hearing of unseen witnesses.
The discovery that the three opera
tives of Burns, arrested at Columbus,
O. while engaged in ferreting out legis-
lative corruption there, had been using
photograph to overhear the supposed
ly confidential conversations of legisla-
tors and lobbyists, is said here to fore
shadow the announcement of an even
more startling use of the instrument in
the Los Angeles case.
The fact that Burns has been en-
ploying such methods in working up
his cases against suspects has been
carefully guarded as one of his most
treasured business secrets Outside of
his operatives the only person who
knew of it was K NJ Turner of New
York, inventor of the instrument. Alb

The proposed pension for school
teachers is provoking warm discussion
in the legislature. 1t is hard for the
ordinary mind to perceive why the
teacher should be pensioned while other
public servants are left to shift for
themselves. Why not pension the mail
clerks, department officials, scrub
women, policemen, in fact, why not
pension all government employees?
Why stop here, why not pension the
non officeholder, who has to pay the
salaries of officers and government
employees? If the public is under
moral obligation to furnish old age sup
port to teachers, it owes the same OBJ
legation to all other, classes. Teaching
is business, a commercial undertake
ing, it is not charity or philanthropy.
AS general rule men and women en-
gage in it because they prefer that
means of gaining livelihood, there
fore nothing is owing them except pay
for their work. Perhaps they are I'M
derpaid, we believe as a rule they are,
but that is an argument for increasing
salaries, not for pension. Provision
for pension would imply that our teach
ers are not thrifty, cannot save their
money, which we don't believe to be
true. If it were true, the proper rem
edy would be to change teachers, for
we certainly don't want as trainers of
our children teachers who haven't the
common sense to save up for a rainy
day.
