Elections in Land of Nippon.

The Japanese people are satisfied
with the result of the election of April
20. but agitation regarding expense at
tending n canvass for seat in pariia-
mept is renewed. The same argument
is heard as those after the last gen
eral election, according to East ana
West. The Chugai ShOgyo estimates
the cost of 600 candidates at not less
than S2.64O,OOO! This is more than
representatives in the United States
expend. but senators have been known
TO nay half a million for seats In that
body. The Chugai says the goyssrn-
ment spent 100000 for supetyising
the election, which, to Amsricans, will
appear moderate. This Sum includes
"stumping trips" through the country
by cabinet ministe1: members of the
opposition paid their own expenses.
The editor regrets that so many men
! entitled to vote fail 20 exercise their
high privilege. Repeated dissolution
| of the diet not only causes political
| disturbances, he argues, but imposes
heavy financial loss upon the nation
and upon individuals.

CULTURE OF ClNERARIAS
BY G. GEoFRY.

In the culture of the cineraria the
one mistake so often made is that Of
sowing the seed too soon. The plants
thus raised, more often than not, make
a rank growth this is not in any sense
desirable. By sowing in May or June,
plants large enough for all decorative
purposes can be had. In after treat
ment the aim should be to secure as
hardy a growth as possible.
Cineraria is one Of the most useful
and ornamental Of plants, with flower
Of the richest and most brilliant colOrs
and shades and of the finest textures.
For succession, it is well to make
sowings Of the seed from May to Sep
tember, but the main sowing in July.
The cineraria is very fine plant for
the conservatory and for house decor
alton. The coloring Of this plant en-
dears 1t to growers; there are the love
ly and rare cornfower-blue tints in pro-
fusion, rich crimson and blood red in
many varieties, deep rose and shell
pink, and a wonderful combination Of
pink and light-blue shades. There is
also a lovely single pure white va
riety that is worth considering for you

Recently a woman who died in Buck
inghamshire at the age Of eighty-nine
left her fortune of fS0,000 to her
coachman, and the late Lord Burton
left 100000 In annuities to his serv-
ants, while the proprietor Of a Lelces-
ter square restaurant left his woman
boOkkeeper close upon 100000. The
dOwager duchess of Wilton left several
large bequests to her servants, includ-
ing the sum Of 100000 to her maid.
A Hove surgeon left his fortune to his
housekeeper and the very same year
a lady in the North of England left

shipowner left 100000 and remem-
bered In his will every person in his
employ both at home and at the Of

nate, after leading his wife to believe
herself sole legatee, left her one shil-
ling and bequeathed f72,000 to others,
including f3,500 to a servant whom his
wife specially disliked. OF all forms
of petty spite the vindlctive will is the
meanest. Now and then someone gets
good reward for short service. A Scot

WORKING IN THE SHADE
BY ELIzAaETH VAN BENTHUYsEN

BY ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYSEN.
There is hardly a garden plot Of any
size that does not possess some spot
that resembles the back of an elderly
bachelors head when the hair has
started to point toward the advisable
ty of purchasing toupe. Always one
finds these bald spots under the shade
of trees, or where the sun has little
chance to make its influence felt.
1t is what might be called "back-
yard" effect, because the shady nook
Is peculiarly the property Of the back
yard. Early In the morning and late
In the afternoon the sun takes a peep
under the branches of the trees. At
other times the umbrellalike big fell
lows keep the ground free from the
life-maklng rays.
Early in the spring, before the leaves
come, the bare spots are sure to have
some sun. That is the signal to plant
bulbs in the autumn so as to be ready
for the sun. BY scattering crOcus bulbs
and letting them fall as they will, one
gets a better effect than by carefully
arranging them in rows. While tulips,
narcissus, white, lavender and yellow
crocuses and some native growths that
are almost of the weed family may be
utilized.
The fever-few will stand the winter
and will seed itself. It begins to bloom
during the month Of June. Foxglove,
monkshood and larkspur are also
among the possibilities for the bald
place. And then there are hollydocks
and almost any Of the lily family.
Bleeding heart grows and blossoms
in the shade and rose bushes will
thrive in the zone where there is half
shade and half light.
It is always necessary to plan for
the garden during the days when the
weather and the cold blasts make 1t
impossible to work out Of doors. A lit
tie study of the possibilities during the
Idle weeks will prepare the amateur
for campaign in the open that will
get astonishing results.
OF course, one should have i'm
pressed the fact that it is not possible
TO accomplish everything at once. A
simple, well-studied program, taking
Into consideration the kind of plants
with which the best results are OBJ
talned In your particular section, is
sure to bring gratifying results.
If the worker knows Just exactly in
advance what is to be done, the actual
execution of the plans becomes more a
matter of pleasure than Of toll.
am firmly Of the opinion that there
Isn't a spot of any size in any section
that cannot be made to show artistic
results If the proper amount Of intel
lIgent study is given to its improve
ment-and the proper amount Of study
is precious little.
The main thing is to decide to do
something.
