Comparison Of wages

The discrepancy between coal
wages and those of everyday
workers is startling. The farmer,
for instance, must exchange from
two to four days of work for one
days work by miner whenever
he buys coal or the products OF
manufacture or transportation by
steam, for which the coal was
fuel.

Does All Work Alcne.
Brother Meinrod is Swiss, with
considerable acquaintance with the
monastery gardens of Europe. Con-
trary to the general impression, he
is not assisted on the farm or in the
gardens by the other monks. but has
the entire detail to himself, with the
occasional aid of a hired farm hand.
The monastery, by the way, has suf-
fered through the lack of available
farm labor this year, Brother Meinrod
says. and he has been. obliged to de-
vote less attention to the two gar
dens than ordinarily, devoting his
time to raising vegetables for the
monastery table.
Learns From u. 3.
Roses and evergreens are all any
body needs to produce garden ef-
fects. Brother Meinrod says. "Ev-
erything else is purely accidental.
There is little excuse for not succeed
ing at landscape gardening in Wash
ington with the great Department of
Agriculture greenhouses and experi-
ment stations and the officials always
anxious to aid in any way possible
and to secure appropriate specimens.
learned all ] know about Iandscape
gardening from them"
Brother Meinrod himself is a pic
turesque character. Without his
coarse. brown robe and sandals and
crucifix. he would present the ap-
pearance of a typical Maryland or
Virginia farmer. The characteristic
pallor of the cloisters is lacking en-
tirely from the ruddy cheeks of this
Alpine native who grows flowers and
potatoes for the sake of the king
5om.

Roses and Evergreen.
Used in Franciscan
Sunken Garden.

\ sandalcd monk. in brown cas-
sock. working at odd hours for eight
years, has transformed a rocky Wash
ington gully into a garden OF roses,
over which. of all spots in the Ma
1iaual Capital, the spirit of medieval
i"m hovers most lovingly.
Srother Meinrrd of the Franciscan
monastery, at Brooklahd, who runs
tIcty-acrc farm on the side, has two
boobies. by the cultivation of which
lie has a, hitvcd his unique effects.
They are roses and evergreens. BY
s<tlIfullv combining these he has
made the sunken garden, just east of

Washington.

In the line of evergreenS Brother
NrtnrOd has devoted chief attention
To Japanese cedars. frs and hem
locks which are set at appropriate
intervals to relieve the luxuriousness
of the rose. effects.
Probably alone in the District the
monk has utilized the mountain
laurel as garden towering shrub.
One of the most beautiful of native
wild flowers. it has been practically
impossible to cultivate this in gar
dens because of introduction of lime
IN the soil for other flowers. Brother
Netrrcd overcame this by bringing
with tho bushes dug UP in nearby
Maryland woods quantities of the
original soil.
Birds Add to Beauty.
The garden was produced to repe-
sent the garden of GcthScmani-as

tcrieS. some of whose gardens are
famous in literature. During the
stage Of the entire year. although
the monaStic ardener figures to keep
something blossoming every month of
the year and has been able to display
an outdoor pansy bed in blossom in
the middle of winter. No small part
OF the effect is due to the presence
of thousands of birds among the rose
blossoms, singing in peculiar har-
m"ny TO the tolling of the chapel
bell early mornings and late after
moons.
In addition to the Garden of Gcth-
%emanc. which is open to the public
Brother Meinrod has almost as large
