1t is claimed for this new lily that

two to four feet tall, do not require

TO GROW ROSES FROM CUTTINGS,

Probably few persons have ever tried
this way OF increasing their stock OF
roses. Yet II Is not difficult. as I have
proved over and over again In nearly
seventy years Of gardening experience.
Choose a branch Of half hardened wood
from a thrifty bush; cut into four or
five inch pieces; see that each Of these
has several eyes from which growth
can start; trim of the leaves except IA
few neal the top of the cutting. Put
the cuttings into a glass OF water for
a day or two. I think this will be help
full. though I have set them in the soil
at nee and had them grow. Choose n
sunny spot In good garden soil; dig It
up well and put In the slips about half
their length; pinch tho soil tight
around each one. water and cover with
a glass fruit Jar or a large. tumbler.
Keep moist by pouring water around
the glass without raising It from the
ground. Some think sand better to
start them In. but ! have used earth.
In a few weeks growth should show
through the glass. when they may be
gradually accustomed to the air, TAX
ing care TO go slow about II, I have
taken cuttings as late us mld-Dctober,
put them down In this way, and when
cold weather came Just heaped earth
over glasses and all, and In spring have
found about half Of them growing. In
this way ] have rooted "Ramblers."

ties from the stems of a bouquet, and
they gave me many fine blooms two
years later. The plan is interesting and
inexpensive; 1t pays II only a few live.

from Norman times to the present,
but 1t was also royal residence
from the reign of Stephen to the adj
vent Of Cromwell. The royal palace,
which stood within the confines OF
the inner circle, or white tower, was
demolished by order OF that leveler
of kings. The tower is governed by
constable, who in past times was
generally a nobleman of distinction.
His attendant staff. called Yoeman
Of the Guard, or. more Familiarity,
"Beefeaters" still wear the pictur-
esque Tudor uniform.
In addition to being a prison and
palace, the tower was originally the
seat OF justice. In the inner ward,
too. which none but the privileged
were admitted, was held the court
Of the kings bench, while in the out
err ward, to which the populace under
certain formalities was admitted, was
held the court of common pleas.
Those names, still surviving in En-
gllsh jurisprudence. are illuminated
by these facts: ITO the inner ward
and they were rarely allowed to en-
joy as privilege that which they
could not claim as right. This in
ner ward was the kings castle. his
palace. his garrison. his treasury.
Here in charge of trusted officer,
he kept the royal jewels secreted
from every eye except on the corona
ton day Here rose his keepers, with
the dungeons in which he could chain
his foes. Here stood his private
chapel and not far from it his priv
ate block. No man ever dreamed of
contesting the kings right to do what
he pleased in this quarter; and thus
an execution within these lines was
regarded by the world outside as lit
tie better than private murder"
Human Interest Side.
The late W. Hepworth Dixon, in a
work entitled Her Majesty's Tower"
says:
Looking at the tower as either
prison. palace. or a great picture,
poetry and drama crowd upon the
mind, and if the fancy dwells more
frequently on the state prison this
is because feeling Is more readily
kindled by a human interest than
fired by an archaic and official fact.
For one man who would care to see
room in which council met or a
court was held. hundred men would
like to see the chamber in which Lady
Jane Grey was lodged. the cell in
which Sir Walter Raleigh wrote, the
tower from which Sir John Oldcastle
escaped. Who would not like to
stand for a moment by those steps
on which Anne Boleyn knelt; pass by
that slit in the wall through which
! Arthur de la Pole gazed, and finger,
; II he can, in the room in which Gran
mer, Latimer and Ridley searched

on the cost OF producing articles in
this country. its work In this respect
being virtually q continuance of the
work Of the old tariff board. The
Information collected is intended pri-
marily for the guidance Of Congress
when tariff legislation is under con-
sideration. AS with all the recent
studies Of this kind, the original in
tention was to make corresponding
study Of the industry in the princi-
pal producing countries Of Europe
but the war made 1t impossible to
carry out the plan.
The cost Of producing taxtile ma
chinery was ascertained from three
firms. operating six plants. These
firms produce 80 to 80 per cent OF
the cotton-spinning machinery man
ufactured in this country. their out
put comprising machinery from the
bale opener to the spinning frame.
The combined sales of the three firms
in 1903 was $12,837.892 and In 1914
S1440,916. the average for the peri
cd being $9,981,711. on these sales
there was a manufacturing profit OF
22.94 per cent and a final profit
Of 25.05 per cent during the most
profitable year and manufacturing
profit of $50 per cent and a final
profit Of $50 per cent during the
least profitable year. There was a
manufacturing profit OF 1929 per
cent and final profit Of 2O.24 per
cent for the period from 1909 to
1913.
The bureau finds that there has
been a surprising lack OF attention to
cost accounting in the plants visit
ed. One large plant had practically
no general bookkeeping system ex-
cept In the purchase department. 1t
used an inadequate single-entry sys-
TEN. Another firm apparently made
no effort to keep books except In the
most old-fashioned way. and until
two years ago had not taken an in
ventory of stock on hand for twenty
five or thirty years. AT only one plant
was there an actual cost-account-
ing system in use. Even this was un-
satisfactory and has since been re-
placed by modern and accurate sys-
tenn. On the other hand, there have
been many efforts in the last twenty
years to increase the manufacturing
efficiency OF the various plants. Many
automatic and special tools have been
introduced, and some shops have
been specially equipped for the eff
cient production of certain machines.
The manufacturers have been very
progressive in their selling methods,
the report states. The heads of firms
keep in constant touch with all or
ders and with the opportunities for
making sales.
