not only screen unsightly objects but
when trained carefully over out-build-
ings, stone walls and porches they help
to make a picture of the home sur
rOundings.
Three of the best clinging vines are
the Boston ivy, English ivy and the
trumpet vine. They are best ON brick
or stone walls rs they are apt to cause
decay if allowed to climb over shingles
and woodwork.
japanese hOneysuckle is of quick
growth and great beauty. It's delicate
odor and lacelike foliage are desirable
qualities. Any of the honeysuckle fam
lily are good where dense shade is not
requisite. The crimson rambler is an
other great favorite. 1t is particularly
beautiful when grown over white trel-
lises.
Where one wishes to change the To-
cation of vines yearly the ANNALS are
necessary. Among the number Of
beautiful annual climbers the morning
glory takes leading place. The moon
flower and cypress and canary bird
flower are other beautiful vines, easily
grown.
To start the seed of moonflower and
morning-glory cut the seed little on
| one side and soak over night in warm
water, plant in a window box or seed
bed and transplant out of doors when
the ground is warm.
Wild cucumbers and Japanese or ma
tive hop are hardy vines and make a
dense green shade. Hyacinth bean is
also very pretty and profuse blOomer.
Never allow vines to grow up over the
house. Place trellis at least two feet
from the house wall to allow a free
circulation of mir. This applies to all
Kinds of climbers. As soon as they begin
to form runners give them a support.
Sweet peas and nasturtiums form ex-
cellent low, ornamental screens. Plant
ed early in a rich soil they will grow
to the height of five or six feet and
cover n support of that height. De
cayed vegetable matter and leaf mold
are fine fertilizers for the sweet pea.

A Slioht Reservation.

Miranda was an incurable optim1st
and the embodiment of kindliness
She would never admit that anything
was wrong with anytone, although
sometimes facts pushed her hard. Her
young mistress had many suitors, and
the latest recruit to the ranks could
boast as little in the way of good looks
as was humanely possible.
"Grand-looking chap, isn't he, Mi
randyT queried Miss Annette's mis-
chievous brother, when the guest had
departed.
Miranda teetered perilously between
truth and charity. Goose he was
she answered presently, with dignity
"Han'some gintleman-han'so gin
tleman."
At that point honesty got the upper
hand. "Cep't'n," sch added consci
entiously, ''fer his features"

In Rice Fields.

Rice lands are usually ploughed a
short time before planting time, and
in some parts of southern Louisiana
the land is so low and wet and the
soil so stiff as 10 necessitate ploughing
in the water. Deep ploughing is rec
commended by leading rice experts. 1t
has been demonstrated that the better
the soil and the more thoroughly it is
pulverized the better the crop. The
roots of annual cultivated plants do
not feed much below the plough line
it is therefore evident that deep cult
walton places more food within reach
of the plant.

CRIMSON RAMBLER

Some roses, the crimson rambler for
instance, seem particularly liable to
mildew. If outdoors the disease may
be kept In check by using the ammo
niacal solution of copper carbonate ap-
piled faithfully with a sprayer, about
every two or three weeks, or oftener,
If the case seems to require it.
Hyposulphite of soda, used in pro-
portion of half an ounce to ten gallons
of water, is a good spray. In some
cases. however, nothing serves to do
any good.

Invention of Doors.

Who invented the door no one
knows. 1t is, however, an invention of
comparatively modern times. All the
ancient houses, even the houses con-
tanning doOrways, had no doors. Fab
RIGS or skins of animals were hung
across the doorways to keep out the
elements. In the great Roman Coli
scum there is but one dOor-that Is
the door behind which lay the lions
that ate the gladiators. From this
and other similar uses it is believed
that doors to houses probably first
came into use as q means of defense,

True Then and Now

On August IS Controller Travis, who
because of his state office and local afiila-
tons yields much influence in Brooklyn
politics, declared as follows: Hitherto |
have steadily declined to give my choice
for Mayor in the coming election. Condi-
tons are such now, however, that | am
convinced that it is my duty as a citizen
and official of New York to state that
shall support the entire Fusion ticket,
headed by Mayor Mitchell. To DO other
wise would, in my opinion, mean to aid
in the election of the Tammany ticket. to
which ! am bitterly opposed
Since then Mr.. Bennett has carried the
Republican primaries in the County Of
Kings and the City of New York and is
the Republican nominee for Mayor. That
fact makes more difficult the defeat of the
the election of Mayor Mitchell and the
Fusion ticket. to which Controller Travis
thus committed himself An effort is now
Under way to commit the Kings County
Republican Committee to an Endorsement
Of Mr.. Benefits candidacy. What seemed
desirable to Controller Travis in August is
Just as desirable now from every consid-
GRAFTON of public welfare. The defeat of
Tammany is just as necessary for the
preservation of good government in this
city. and the election of Mayor Mitchell is
the only way of beating Tammany.
The support of Mayor Mitchell by Con-
troller Travis, Senator Calder and Mr..
Kracke forced the withdrawal of Justice
Cropsey from his threatened primary con
test. What Justice Cropsey did not do
Mr.. Bennett has done. The menace that
Justice Cropsey's candidacy would have
been TO the Fusion cause Mr. BENEFITS
candidacy has become. In view of their
attitude at that time, produced not only by
ciear-sighted knowledge of their party S
welfare but by a high sense of public duty,
4 is TO be hoped that Controller Travis,
Senator Calder and Mr.. Kracke will now
continue with redoubled energy their sup
mort Of Mayor Mitchell and Fusion. 1t is
greatly to be hoped that as the first step
they will use all their energy, all then
Influence, to prevent an Endorsement OF
Mr.. Bennett by the Kings County Repub-
lean Committee and to procure such an
Endorsement for Mayor Mitchell, who i,
the only candidate capable of keeping the
city administration out Of the hands Of
Hearst and Murphy
