TEST THAT NEVER FAILED

"A Among the old miners of Sisikyou

place on earth. This is the belief of
the gold-diggers of that section, and
that faith is accepted as orthodox, says

his layoff down at Sawyer's. Once
the superintendent asked him why he
always selected that place for his va
cation.

British contror Of Cables.

Perhaps nothing has more contribu.
ted to the commercial supremacy Of
Britain than its enterprise with regard
to the submarine cable. During the
last go years it has excelled all other
countries in its quick communication
with the remote parts of the world
Europe received its news through
London. When at last foreign coun.
tries sought to free themselves from
this monopoly they had to seek Brit.
ish aid. France and Germany, desir
Ing to possess cables Of their own be.
tween their countries and America
had to go to Britain to manufacture
and to lay the cables for them. In
late years factories for the making of
such cables have been established by
Germany at Ordenham, by France at
Calais, and by Italy at Spezia Previ
ously almost all the cables of the
world had been made on the banks OF
the Thames. The foreign manufac
tories were started with government
subsidies, and the Weakening of govern
ments to the value of cables-until
few years back the submarine tele
graphs were altogether private af
fairs, started with money wholly sub
scribed by the public-has been re-
markable. There are at present no
fewer than 1882 cables, and of these
various governments own 2,457.

Berlin Brightest Lighted city.

notwithstanding many obvious rea.
sons why 1t might not be SO. Berlin is,
1t claims, today the most brilliantly
lighted capital of the world. The claim
is not made because of darkened Paris
and London. The claim is that under
no sort of conditions is any other city
as well or efficiently illuminated.
Its brilliant gas lamps have been in.
creased in number from 1000 to close
on to 5000, with candle power of TO-.
100000. To this unit in efficiency have
been added the most up-to-date meth.
DDS of artificial lighting and extin.
gushing the burners. This latter is
accomplished by suddenly increasing
the pressure at the central plant,
which turns a switch in each burner
and automatically starts or stops the
flame.

containing the gladioli and stretch it
over the plants before they begin to
send up their flower stalks. / support
it on stout stakes that project about
eighteen inches above the surface Of
the soil, using enough of them to keep
the netting level all over the bed.
This is the season for making war.
fare on the enemies of the rose. II
one would have fine flowers he must
make up his mind that he's got to fight
for them. / use an emulsion of soap
and kerosene.
1t is very necessary that the appli-
cation should get to the under side Of
the leaves and the inside of the
bushes, where the insects are likely
to hide away; therefore it will be well
to have someone assist by bending the
bushes over and holding them in that
position while the application is being
made.
Worms, slugs, green lice and the
rose-chafer can be kept from injuring
the bushes if the emulsion is applied
thoroughly and frequently.
AS soon as my lilacs are past the
Towering periods, go over the bushes
and cut away all the seed clusters.
The result isl get fairly good crop
of flowers on what is generally consid.
cred the "off year" of this excellent
old shrub. If 1t is allowed to develop
seed, it generally has few flowers ex-
cept on alternate years.
Speaking of lilacs reminds me to
say, that do not indorse what some
people say about this plant being a
nuisance because of it's habit of send
ing up so many suckers from its
roots.
That it is prolific in this respect I
admit, but there is no good reason for
allowing them to grow until you have
a thicket of bushes. Give your hoe
blade the sharpness of a knife by fling
| 1t to a keen edge, and go over the
ground about your lilacs at the sprout-
ing season, and shave of every sprout
that shows it's head above the grass.
You can do this just as easily and rap
idly as you can cut off so many weeds,
and by doing it you can keep your
lilacs from spreading all over the
yard.
These bushes are nuisances only
when allowed to have their own way.
Give them the attention they need
and they are easily kept under con-
troll. The secret of success consists
in not letting them get the start Of
you.

All Danes Car Vote

Danish women have received equal
rights with men and Danish men with
each other; the recent constitutional
change which enfranchises women and
makes them eligible to all Offices also
abolishes the property qualifications
which have helped to keep the Dane
melancholy. Everybody can vote in
Denmark now. even the king. Twen-
ty-nine years is the voting age to
start with, but as time rolls over the
little kingdom it is to be gradually
reduced until it reaches twenty-five.
Thus the older a Dane grows the
younger he can begin to yote.-The

By EBEN Z. RENFOHO.
This month will be busy one for
the gardener. There will be plants to
put out, weeds to pull, insects to kill
quite enough to keep one at work
most of the time
do my transplanting on cloudy
days, If possible, but If the weather
persists in being sunshiny, / do the
work after shutdown. Before lifting a
seeding. i apply enough water to
thoroughly saturate the soil in which
it is growing. If this is done, the
young plant can be moved without ex-
posure to the roots, and it will receive
10 check whatever, but will keep on
growing as if nothing had happened
to it. But allow its tender, delicate
roots to be exposed to air for ever so
little a time and you run a serious
risk of losing your plant.
II this does not happen, 1t will re-
ceive check from whicn it will take
q long time to recover.
One cannot be too careful with any
thing as delicate as Seeding plant.
In bright weather newly transplanted
seedlings will require shading for a
day or two. / cut out a circle of
coarse brown paper, about a foot
across, make a slit to the center on
one side of it, and fold the paper over
two or three inches, running wire
out and in through the folded part.
This wire serves to hold the paper to-
gether and acts as support for the
little brown paper umbrella.
It should be at least twelve inches
long long enough to insert in the
ground close to the Seeding, and hold
the paper cone well above the plant it
is designed to protect This kind of
a covering keeps the sun away from
the plant, but does not interfere with
free circulation of air about it.
What kind Of a support are you go
ing to give your gladioli? Tying their
stalks to sticks gives them such a stiff
and prim appearance that always
feel sorry for the poor plants. A stick
in the center of clump does not
furnish really satisfactory support
to the stalks on the outside of it, and
hoop supported on sticks is open to
the objection of being only little
better than nothing.
Here is my plan-tnd one that
works well, and can be easily carried
out. I take a strip of coarse mesh
