Revival of Chariot Racing

Boston Transcript: Chariot racing
is returning to favor. Recently al
Sydney a chariot race was run that
stirred all the inhabitants to a fever
of excitement. The spectacle was
nearly a duplicate of Roman circus
pageant. Three competitors trotted
round the track abreast, and in the
swaying, creaking chariots the men
crouched and yelled and urged them
on. The ground was torn up in hur-
ricane of dust which the maddened
animals left behind them. Then a
smash came. The pole of the leading
chariot broke away from the harness
and the foremost horse and plunged
into the track. The second chariot
swerved and passed with only few
inches to spare.
Still the leading horses galloped
with the pole striking up spurts of
dust that flew back in the faces of
the driver, who chung grimly to the
reins and at last pulled up his team.
The miracle was that the pole was not
caught in the ground and driven back
wards through the car. Corporal Hay
woods courage in hanging onto his
horses was cheered. He escaped with
out injury, but the legs of the horses
were damaged and it was decided not
to race them again.
The other two chariots were raced
again, and the crowd was wrought to
feverish excitement, the shouting be-
ing deafening. The chariots went
around neck and neck for nearly a
quarter of a mile, and then Corporal
Earp's rear wheel shot off and the
axle and the chariot lurched over and
rocked along on one wheel. 1t was the
most exciting event introduced in Sgd
ney for many a day.

New Form Of Civilization.

That the Basutos in South Africe
are capable OF emerging from their
tribal system into new form of civ
ilization, apart from white influence
whatever, is the belief of Lord Sell
borne, a former high commissioner
for South Africa.
But 1t will take a great many gen.
erations," he added yet the process
has begun, and 1t is very interesting
to see the evolution from the ordinary
hut to the nice house, and also to
see the evolution from the tribal sys-
tenn of cultivation to that of individ-
ual tenure of land. Those in Europe
who think that our civilization might
be improved by our abolition of all
forms of private property might do
worse than consider the attempts of
the more intelligent Basutos to escape
from their tribal system"
Lord Selborne further declared his
conviction that there was nothing to
fear from the Basutos in South Africa
unless they we're misgoverned.

WORK IN RASPBERRY PATCH
One Of Our Most Delicious Fruits ls
Adapted to Both the Garden and
the Truck Farm.

(By j. z. NORMAN. Copyright. 19l4)
The raspberry Is the queen OF all
small fruits. It Is delicious both as q
fresh fruit and In preserves, and for
culture the raspberry is adapted to
both the garden and the truck farm.
The canes grow rapidly, the better va
rieties produce heavily the second year,
and a patch with proper care will last
for about twelve to fifteen years.
Spring Is the best time to set out
raspberry canes. If the canes are
planted in the fall alternate freezing
and thawing cause the rootlets to de-
cay, and the plants, unfortunately,
readily winter kill Among the varie-
ties on the market the Cuthbert red
raspberry is still at the head of the list.
and in the gardens the canes should
be planted about three feet apart. in
rows at least three feet from each
other. For farm planting rows should
be about six feet distant and the plants
set out about four feet apart, and, II
possible, plant the rows north and
south, which permits the sun to reach
all of the fruit, and thus It ripens bet
ter. The rows should be cultivated
once or twice In season. During the
summer the most vigorous shoots
should be allowed to grow after being
placed carefully between two wires
which are stapled u posts placed
about twenty feet apart in the row.
To keep the wires firm during the win
ter. clamp them together with short
pieces of wire.
In November, when other garden or
farm work slackens, pay the raspberry
patch a visit and trim out all the dead
canes. These should be burned to de-
stroy any lurking raspberry borers.
Trim back the live canes to about four
feet This compels thu plant, when
growth starts In the spring, to throw
out numerous side branches and thus
increase their fruiting capacity. Then
mulch the rows with leaves. II they
are abundant, and weight them down
with a heavy coating OF coarse farm
manure, good compost or chicken ma
nure. The decaying organic materials
furnish humus to the soil. sand humus
is necessary to supply the plants with
sufficient plant food. The rain and soil
moisture dissolve the materials which
plants need, and when the raspberry
plants take up this moisture they grow
rapidly and bear profusely.
Raspberry canes bear about one year
only, but nature provides a new sup
ply of young canes, SO that a patch
cared for as above described will bear
annually and last many years. and
since the raspberry blossoms late 1t is
practically guaranteed against injury
from frost. For this reason a rasp-
berry crop is almost certainty.

Method Of Obtaining Good Mulch.

planted as deeply as they should,
blowing this depth will cause them to
produce a deep root system which will
not be injured as quickly by freezing
or drought After this blowing the
fertilizer should be applied and
worked with disk harrow or Guilt
vator.
Frequent civilizations should be
given with the cultivator or disk har-
row. running deep enough to form q
good soil mulch and prevent subse-
quent baking or crusting Of the sur
face. and prevent loss of soil moist
ure by evaporation. Thorough cul-
ture kills all the weeds, which are a
constant drain on the soil moisture
and plant food, and also assists in de-
composing and liberating any plant
food which may have turned under.

sashes shown In the group pictured

THE howery and diaphanous hats

r. HE flowery and diaphanous hats
pictured here have counterparts
In equally fowery but more substan-
tial headwear in Leghorn and hemp,
and In similar airy creations of hair
braid and Tuscan lace braid. Then,
for the warmest weather, there are
pure white hats, net and chiffon or
lace. In the same coterie are some lin
gerie hats. But hats of black maine or
lace and Leghorn appear to make the
strongest appeal as the midsummer's
loveliest creations.
These fragile-looking, but really
quite durable pieces of millinery, are
made of the filmiest of materials, ma
line net, which has been waterproofed,
and thereby has conquered its old en-
envy, the moisture in the air. Even
rain does not cause 1t to wither and
shrivel, as in days of old. 1t is to
be hoped that flowers which do not
fall or the sea breathes on them will
bloom in millinery gardens before an
other spring rolls round Many of
them now are dyed to withstand the
sun, and sold as "fadeless."
The hats shown here of maline and
lace, and those similar to them of
hair or Tuscan braid, have the pc
culiarity of suiting themselves to
either young or older women. But they
appear to best advantage on the ma
tron. When youth assumes the Dig
nifty of a black dress hat, big, pic
turesque shapes provide an ele-
ment these smaller hats lack. But
they are helped out this season by the
masses Of flowers that adorn them and
by the youthful brides Of velvet rib
bon that are brought from one side
to the other. under the chin or under
the hair.
The Clio messenger. (Clio, Mich.) 1907-current, 1914-07-03

The chin-strap is bit of frivolity
one should try out before wearing.
For some faces 1t is quite impossible.
and for others is is charm. Both 1t
and the velvet bride under the hair
are shown In the picture. The latter
Is featured on hats designed for young
wearers.
There is any number Of shapes In
which these lace and net hats are de-
veloped. The fabric is shirred to a
frame of fine wire and they require
the careful work and experience OF
a professional milliner. Such hats
are pretty with afternoon costumes
in any color or white, and II one is
to have but one hat for dress, no other
style is more commendable.
