fade, pinch them off; your flowers
will keep In bloom much longer and
the blooms will be larger If you pay
attention to this little detail. Pansies
and sweet peas particularly require
| looking after.
Use your flowers in borders and
around the sides of your lawn, Never
make flower beds in the center Of your
lawn. A bit Of green turf, well-cared
for, Is an asset to any home grounds.
If you want a soft, thick turf on
your lawn, NOW 1t often and let the
clippings lie where they fall This
keeps the soil from drying out too
much and helps fertilize it as it de-
Gays.
Support sweet peas on a hedge of
brush. This is better than poultry
netting, as the sun does not heat it and
burn the tender tendrils of the cling
ing sweet pea.
Plant your shade trees far enough
away from the house to allow the air
to circulate around the house. Sun
shine in the home is a tonic and care
should be exercised when planting that
trees do not interfere or shade the
windows too much.
Do not plant your flowers too close
together. Give them all chance for
life. Pansies should be planted ten
inches apart; petunias and verbenas
at least eighteen inches apart mari
colds, two feet; poppies, ten inches;
zlnnias, eighteen inches and phlox a
foot. Flowers will not be plentiful or
thrifty If grown too close together.
Nothing is better for winter bloom
ers, or for hanging basket plants than
the Grand Duchess Oxalis. Put the lit
tie bulbs in light soil, keep in a tenn
perature Of about 60 degrees and keep
the soil moist until the leaves appear,
and gradually increase the water as
required.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence OF a neglected
scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. It robs the hair
Of its luster, its strength and its very
life; eventually producing a feverish-

If not remedied causes the hair roots

Danderine from any store, and after
the first application your hair will
take on that life, luster and luxuriance
which is so beautiful. It will become

cabbaaes and Kings.

The time has come, indeed, to talk
of "cabbages and kings" OF kings
enough has been said. But surprising
reports come concerning cabbages. A
year ago they were sold at six dollars
a ton, and there was no market for
them. Hundreds of tons were fed to
hogs and much of the product was
used for fertilizing. This year the
wholesalers are paying Maine farm
ers So a ton for cabbages, and it is
expected the wholesale price will go
to a hundred dollars a ton before
spring. Half the cabbage used in
New England comes from western
Maine. Farm mortgages ia that Sec
ton are being erased, and savings bank
deposits are growing.-New Bedford

WANAMAKER A FLOWER FAN

People who know the name of John
Wanamaker in connection with a
gigantic fortune, with the making Of
speeches at national conventions and
as that Of a phllanthropist of modest,
though important roles, will be sur
prised to learn that this busy man Of
method and system is an ardent cul-
turist of flowers. One of the most
striking sections of the recent exhi-
billions has been one devoted to show
ing his foliage plants. They are mar
velously developed and show expert
handling. The plants were grown un-
der the personal supervision of Mr..

SYMBOL UNTOUCHED BY WAR
Lion of St. Mark Has Escaped De-
struction, Though Hand of Time
Has Been Heavy on 1t.
The lion of st. Mark still stands.

The lion of st. Mark still stands.
CuriOusly enough, while utmost pre-
cautions have been taken to preserve
against the ruthless hand of the avi-
ator, this symbol of the republic, one
of the chief artistic and historical glO-
ries of the city, still poses on it's col
umn in the Piazzetta with never a
sandbag, masonry shield, or wooden
covering to guard it from harm.
The lion of st. Mark long has been
an interesting relic, source of some
speculation and an endless amount Of
historical legend more or less authen-
tic. There is a tradition that when
Napoleon carried 1t to Paris there
were diamonds in its eyes. They were
really white agates, faceted.
1t is conjectured that the lion may
have formed part of the decoration
of some Assyrian palace centuries be-
fore it became the symbol of the VeDe-
tian patron saint, st. Mark. The head,
except for the crown, the name, and
the larger part of the body and legs,
except the claws, are much older than
other portions of the figure. The wings
and paws are of a much later date,
while the rump part and the tail are
restOratiOns executed after the lion
had been sent back from Paris early
in the last century.
The lion is in a condition that care
is required even under ordinary cOndi-
tions to prevent it's dislntegratlon.
There are rents and fissures through
out the body, and the portions are held
together by iron rivets that have rust
ed away. Many initials mark the metal,
engraved by artists en-
ployed in various restorations.
The Lion Of st. Mark could be de-
stroyed with little effort. 1t has sur
vived the chances of war to the pres
ent.

Rich eranhite Mines

Important graphite deposits near
Turkushansk are now being worked,
and it is expected that the mines will
supply sufficient mineral to fill the de-
mands of the country and leave lit
tie for export purposes. Tests have
shown that this mineral is to be had
at this point in very large quantities,
but the most important feature of the
mines is the purity of the yield, which
is said to average 9S per cent pure
carbon. The graphite supply has here
tofore come mainly from Austria and
Ceylon, but the Russian mines prom

USE CARE in COLOR OF
ANIMALS

For summer Towering, ANNALS are
very satisfactory, blooming profusely
through the entire season, while the
cost of a seed packet is but a trifie.
Good taste dictates the system OF
planting large punches of single spe-
cles together rather than the old way
of mixing a dozen varieties in as many
square feet.
1t is the same plan that places a
dozen carnations or roses in a vase
rather than a heterogeneous collection
in the Old-fashloned bouquet. Mass
your flowers If you would secure the
best effects.
The old calliopsis, "lady's breastpin''
they used to call 1t, is a handsome
plant, its long, slender stems render
ing it extremely useful for cutting,
and the shades of gold and brown
harmonizing nicely.
A mass Of 1t next to the shrubbery
in the background gives a most pleas
ing effect.
Some handsome forms of single
dahlia may be secured by planting a
packet of the seed in pots early in the
spring and transplanting the young
seedlings to the garden as soon as
danger from frost is over.
The colors of some is very fine, and
to one liking the single flowers, the
plan is a good one Of getting a variety
at a small cost.
Unless. started very early, these
seedlings rarely mature tubers that
will keep througi the winter, though
they commence Towering almost as
soon as the plants are started from the
tubers.
The Observation-Disclosures asters
are much more pleasing, both grown
In masses and for cutting, than the
"Quilled" bouquet sorts. If but two
kinds are started, let them be white
and lavender with rose as a third
choice.
Do not order mixed packets of seed.
It Is a great temptation TO do so, but
If fine specimens are expected, the
surer way is to single out one or two
colors.
While the mixed packets are in
many instances highly satisfactory,
the single colors are made up from the
best individuals.
With pansies for spring, sweet peas
for summer and asters for autumn,
one may be sure of having an abund-
ance Of the most beautiful cut flowers
for all occasions.
Red petunias and red geraniums are
a combination to be avoided. They
make a discordant note.
Single petunias are easily grown
from seed, although this seed is so
minute. In fact, they will perpetuate
themselves from year to year through
self-sown seed.
If you want the double varieties, the |
safest and quickest way is to buy slips |
at the greenhouse, as the seed is diff
fcult for the novice to manage.
One of the best plants to use for
is saliva.

IDAHO MAY SOON BECOME! A
TAXLESS STATE

BOISE, Idaho, Sept. lat the rate
the income Of Idaho Is increasing and
pork barrel appropriations are being
held down this commonwealth within
a period Of four years may become
taxless---so far as state taxes are con-
eerned Every year finds the amount
required to be raised by direct taxes
for state expenses reduced Three
years ago it was 100000. The state
board Of equalization found at its re-
cent meeting that but $685., 900, which
is more by $145,S10 than the books Of
the state auditor show, Is actually
needed to run the state. No chances
are being taken and the margin Is
allowed to meet any emergency. The
amount actually necessary to meet
state expenses In 1913 Is in reality but
$500, 100.
The leaks In the operation of Idaho's
state government are rapidly being
plugged. The revenue from several
sources, principally loans, is Rising
rapidly. Within the last IL months
they experienced a 100000 increase
Next year this increase will be added
to. If this policy continues, claim
state officials, taxless state may be
more Of a reality than dream.
Values Now EquaIixed.
Equalization Of values and establish
ment Of tax levies was attempted for
the first time this year by state
board the majority Of whom were
democrats. 1t took two weeks to come
| to an understanding of the assessment
Of property and appreciate the finan-
cial condition Of the state. Railroads
were not raised. Common carriers are
bearing heavy proportion Of the taxes
and their valuations are high. This Is
shown by the assessed mileage valua-
ton placed on the larger roads. The
Oregon Short Line is assessed at $65,-
900 per mile; the O-W. r.. & N. al
$4,000 per mile, the Chicago, Mil
waukee 4 St Paul at $D7, 900 per mile
the Great Northern at $61. 750 and the
Northern Pacific at $61, 75O. The board
| took compassion on the smaller oper.
ating properties and lowered their
valuations. Standard cars Of the Pull
man company were assessed at $780,
900 and tourist cars at $150,000. The
assessment Of telephone company
properties was changed to q wire mil
cage basis, or. $48 per mile. The
wire mile basis was adopted for tel,
egraph companies, which was fixed
at 500 per mile. After equalization
