Fragrance on Garden Paths.

Have all garden paths with some

In some gardens of larger size special
fragrant pathways are built where they
appear to pass through thickets redo

to keep the mind unconsciously in the

Harmony in Garden Essential,

A garden should not be considered
as piece of wild nature, nor plants
regarded as architectural ornaments,
for one must not do violence to the 9TH

Otherwise the builder has labored in
vain, for he has not made picture that

discovered-but it can not be known that
they will not.
AT any rate Texas will soon know Just
where the state stands in the matter. II
the pink boil worm covered Brazil in three
years and the cotton producing areas OF
Mexico in little more time, surely it viii
make its presence felt in Texas right soon
if il shall be here in number large or small
That il the more reason for prompt actor
by the state of Texas-and the Legislators
and officials of the state know this full
well.
Half a million dollars was asked Of the
national congress for the expense of a fight
against the pink boil worm. Texas will
probably have TO expend fully that much in
the cause.
But if the worp shall be kept out of the
state by such an expenditure it will be the
best investment ever made by any govern
ment. For the pink boil worm in this state
will cost the people of Texas not less than
$25O,OOO,O0O a year after the third crop
The Hawaiian Islands were forced to
abandon cotton as a crop by this pest
and those islands had been producing mil
lions of dollars worth every year. lndia'S
loss Is said to be not less than $4,000 .00o
per year, and some place the figure -four
times that high.
There l. no question of the fact that
Texas and the national government should
get busy in a fight against the pink boil
worm. But there will be found a question
of the means to be used in that fight. Ger
tainly if it be but a question of keeping
the pink boil worm ont of the state. the an
swer will be much easier TO discover than
If the fight must be waged against a pest
already ut work in our fields.
However that may be, it j. certain that
the agricultural department should be Civ
en- the right and authority TO establish pro
tectiye zones, not alone for cotton but for
all other crops affected by parasites. Such
a law would give the power to combat the
pink boil worm and every other insect
without the necessity of awaiting legi>lat-
i've action and the funds for the fight could
be secured by emergency appropriations.
With such authority in the national and
state departments of agriculture, the peo-
pie would not nave To be aroused TO the
public necessity every time the crops of
the country were threatened. The work
of prevention would be delayed-and the
farmer would be saved many thousands OF
dollars now unnecessarily lost To him.

Five-Year-Old Seal Skins.

A sufficient number of skins of FIVE
year-old fur seals will be taken on the
Pribilof Islands, Alaska, to enable the
United States bureau Of fisheries to
determine fully how they will be re-
ceived by the trade and the best uses
to which such skins may be put, says
the Scientific American.
These skins have about twice the
area of the skins from an average
three-year-old seal, and are regarded
by experts as fully equal in quality to
the average skin Of the younger seals
that have heretofore made up the
quota for the natives use.
+ Two expert seal SINNERS from New
foundand and two sealskin specialists
from the st. Louis concern will pro-
coed TO the Pribilof Islands for the
purpose Of assisting the agents and In
structing the natives in taking and pre-
pairing sealskins.

Children and the War.

Agnes Repplier says in the Woman's
Home Companion : 1--WE cannot afford
to have young people feel that they
have no part to play in the nations
heroic struggle, that they may go on
amusing themselves in the old careless
fashion, while men are dying for their
safety. The rites and ceremonies Of
coming OUT may well be omitted, or
at least simplifed. We have grown
to attach a tremendous but wholly
mythical Importance to a girls first
season, to regard it as something sa-
cred and inviolable, with which no
cataclysm should be permitted to in
terfere, and for which no sacrifice is
too great. It is not an uncommon
thing to hear the death Of distin-
guished citizen regretted because it
interferes with the coming out Of an
1S-year-old niece. If the war helps to
moderate this point of view it will
have done us one good turn. If girl
decides to take hospital course in
stead Of devoting her winter to gayety,
she chooses wisely. Her health will
be conserved, her heart and mind ex'
banded"

Women in Trousers.

The question Of whether women as
the result of the war should Wear
trouserettes is being solved without
holding conventions and without the
aid of those who have heretofore made
the fashions, says the Omaha World
Herald. In Vancouver, B. c., there
was an enormous berry crop, culti-
waited and wild, and there was only
enough labor in sight to gather one
third of it. Frantic with the thought
Of SO much loss, the people appealed
to the government The first PROPOSE
ton was to ship in two or three thou
sand Chinese coolies. The women up
there said that would result in two
or three thousand more to feed and
they made an appeal to the women
and girls of the province. In a few
days more than 1900 were enlisted.
The briars and brambles of the fruit
field would make short work Of skirts
and the women all d0nned trousers.
The army was drawn from all walks
Of life.
