WEIRD ARE IDEAS REVEALED
Joseph M. Wade Is Dead, Once Be-
Iieved He Was Spiritual Husband
Of Nine. BIavatsky.

Boston.-Joseph M. Wade, a wealthy
resident of Dorchester. who had been
decorated by the mikado in recogni-
ton of his charities to widows and or
phans Of Japan, died In the belief
that he was the spiritual husband of
Madame Blavatsky. the theosophical
leader, according to the story revealed
in a masters report fled in the superb
or court
The report was upon the suit of Her
bert w. Burke, executor Of Wade's
estate, against Yamanaka & Co., deal
ers in Japanese curios, to compel them
to restore to the estate bill Of sale
of a collection Of Japanese and orien-
tai articles valued at between $4,000
and $4,000. Burke alleged that Wade
was induced to afflx his mark to the
bill when he was too feeble to under
stand his acts. His contention was
sustained by the court.
Wade, according to the masters re-
port. had an occult room" filed with
Japanese art objects, where he went
to commune with spirits. From the
"other world" he gained the belief
that he would begin to get better or
grow rapidly worse by December Is.
1904. When that day passed without
noticeable improvement in health. the
report states, Wade shut himself up
in his room and died seven weeks
later.
It was when Wade was shut up in
this room. the report alleged. that the
bill was signed.

Gated just outside the big stone walls.

Dwarf Tomatoes.

Tomatoes are one OF, II not the
most, popular summer vegetables.
This worldwide favorite is Of COM
paratively recent use as an edible. 1t
was originally cultivated for its deco
rative features only, the fruit being
called Love Apples" and people con-
sidering them to be poisonous. This
singular error was probably due to
the fact that tomatoes belong to the
"Nightshade" family. several of whose
members are deadly poison to human
beings.
The popularity Of tomatoes is due
largely to the great variety of ways in
which they can be prepared for the
table. No other vegetable can be eat
en- raw or cooked in such variety of
forms. No other vegetable has wider
range Of growth, is easier to grow,
or produces more from the land.

Tomatoes were originally divided
into the tree and bush classes. after
tLeir manner of growth. About so
years ago a French market gardener
noticed a sturdy low-growing tomato
bush in field Of ordinary vines. We
say bush advisedly, because it had
short, strong stalk and stood right up,
holding its branches and fruit OF the
ground.
From his original plant sport" has
been developed great variety Of
dwarf tomatoes. This peculiar occur
renee has never re-occurred. and II
this humble gardener had not pre-
served his remarkable plant, the
world would be without race of
commercial tomatoes that bids fair
to put the larger sorts out of busi-
ness, SO far as the large grower is
concerned. We have long been famil-
lar with tomatoes which are dwarf as
to the size of the fruit and they need
not be considered seriously.
The new dwarf has full-sized fruit
of the very best quality. and while
each plant bears fewer tomatoes, the
dwarf will produce a great many
more tomatoes from a given area
than will the larger bushes. because
1t spreads less and may be planted
closer together. Where the large
varieties will go about 2.700 to the
acre, planted four feet apart, and will
yield about $50 bushels Of good fruit.
the Giant Dwarf may be planted 2s
by 81 feet apart, nearly 5000 plants
to the acre, and has frequently yield
ed 600 bushels.
Even If this were to be overlooked
entirely. the fact that the dwarf to-
mato plant does not have to be tied
or staked UP, makes it much better
for both the small garden and the
market garden. The fruit is naturally
kept of the ground and ripens with
out rotting in the attempt Handle
them Just as you have handled the
large varieties and plant them closer
together and forget about the stakes.
The Giant Dwarf is the most COM
mon dwarf variety in this country
and we advise you to try a few plants
this year or next. Thorough cultiva-
tion is necessary as with any other
tomato, and you must break up the
surface after every rain. Another ex-
cellent forcing plan is to sink bot
tomless tin can in the ground by each
plant and pour liquid fertilizer. or
even plain water, into 1t twice weekly.

Laying Out Flower Beds.

Why do people plant flowers In
beds? Everyone does 1t, and there is
hardly one in q hundred that knows
why they plant them in beds instead
Of singly and scattered or some other
way. They do 1t because everybody
else does 1t.
Planting flowers Is a good deal like
growing whiskers in some wsys. Right
after the Civil war every man grew
a full beard, because SO many Of the
returning heroes had boards through
necessity that they made whiskers
fashionable.
That's why we plant flowers in beds.
Because the other fellow did. and still
does. But fortunately there are mighty
good underlying reasons for 80 doing.
whether we understand them or not
In the first place, the herbaceous or
soft stemmed plants usually look bet
ter in masses, lines or other groups. A
large or continuous mass Of color
makes a strong impression upon the OBJ
server where a few scattered blooms
would be ignored. A single soldier Is
unnoticed, but the marching of a reg
iment thrills the very soul. So 1t Is
with flowers. and this cumulative ef-
feet Is the biggest reason for massing
them together.
Perhaps the only other immediate al
Tentative would be to scatter them
about over the lawn as they occur In
nature-a group Of blue here, a single
pink there, etc. This Is all very we'll
for the yard that is kept in q wild
state, but it will never do for the fln-
ished city or suburban lot. 1t makes
a fair, smooth lawn impossible and
