Didn't Like East Room.
"Is it solid gold?" The eager ques
tioner was a country wor.nn. a r.ic.,:bcf
of a large party which a railroad a,;e;it
was piloting through the cast room of
the White House. She pointed to the
piano with the gold-leaf coating as she
asked the riietion.
The guide attempted to evade the
woman's question by referring to the
seals of the thirteen ordinal States
which adorn the sides of the instru
ment, and explained that it is the one
hundred thousandth piano manufactured
by a prominent American firm.
'Is it solid gold?'' the woman inter
posed. Still the guide did not answer,
ion will notice that there are thir
teen settees in this room, one for each
J'Ki,lal States." he continued.
, But I want to know whether the
piano is solid goid," the woman insist
ed. "No, madam, it is not solid gold." the
guide remarked with a slight display
of temper.
"Hull!" the woman retorted. "I've
seen cailiopes that looked bcetcr and
I d hoped that it had value to recom
mend it. When there's only one real
piece of furniture in a room of this

The Irishman and the Letter.
A certain congressman sympathizes
with the woes of postmasters.
"Why anybody should want to be a
postmaster!" he exclaimed. "And vet
there arc hosts of applicants. But why
anybody just listen, now, to what a
postmaster from my district, out near
Danville, went through the other day.
"An Irishman came to this man and
asked if there was a letter for him.
. "There is,' says the postmaster, 'and
it's a big, fat letter, too. There's eleven
cents due on it.'
"'Weil, said the Irishman, 'just open
il aim rc.ni it 10 1110, will you.' .My
education was neglected in my you;h.'
"'Ihc letter was twenty pages' long,
but the postmaster read 'it all through
out loud.
'"Just read it again,' said the Irish
man, when he ended, and, being oblig
ing, the postmaster did so.
"Then the Irishman scratched his i
head and said, !
'"How much is due on her?' I
"'Klevcn cents.' I
"'Well, keep her; she's none of
mine,' said t:ie Irishman. 'She don't
belong to me.' And he walked off. !
Just Girls.
They entered the car a flying wedge,
five of them, ages ranging from eigh
teen to tweniy-onc. Each had her suit
case and her animation. Merc men
did not think to move, therefore the
bevy had to split up. But a little mat
ter like that was 110 damper on con
versation. The one in the comer cried
to one in the middle of the car,
rrank. did vou hear us talking in
bed last night?"
1 should say I did, replied Frances.
Vou kept the whole house awake."
"Did you hear us, Belle?"
"Oh, no: I have no cars." said Belle
from the other end of the car with a
sarcastic smirk.
'I thought Sadie never would get
through. But we really did have a
great deal to say to each other."
An old Irishman taking it all in re
moved his hat obeisantly and asked,
.Miw, gins, wont ycz be so kind
as to tell us what ycz wur tarkin
about?" Which remark was the need
ed quietus.
To work fearlessly, to follosv earn

EXPERIMENTS IN CONNECTICUT,
The nest move to raise crops under
canvas was made In Connecticut. Vp
in tuo tormcco growing regions of the
Nutmeg State nearly all kinds of good
tobacco could be raised except the line
Sumatra wrapping leaf tobacco. For
one reason nud nnothtr this nlways
proved n failure, nnd the Importations
of Sumatra leaf continued on n larr?
scale. Tho finest Sumatra leaf seeds
wtre brought to this country and
planted in Connecticut, but they would
not produce plants with leaves any
thing like those raised under the Equa
tor on the other aide cf the globe.
Some scientists frora tho Department
of Agriculture had n theory that if
the seuson for growing was prolonged,
and tho proper degree of v.-.irxth cr.d
moisture could be obtair.oJ. there was
110 good reason why Conn, ctieut soil
should not produce Sumatra haf ns
Cue its nhy other country."'
A. ..KjaftH tobacco 'arm was covered
with fiu'6 canvas nnd the Sumatra seed
planted under it. By regulating tho
moisture and temperature I:i this way.
It was fouud that Connecticut Sunia.ru
wrapping loaf tobacco could bp raided
equal to any Imported. Even tho deli
cately i' haded spots, which were al
ways the distinguishing .marks of Su
mr.tra leaf, can Ve produced on the
Connecticut leut-rnlsed leaves. So ini.
portnnt has ibis discovery proved that
n new Industry I11 raising Sumatra
wrappers has grown up In Connecticut.
The Imports of Sumatra leaf have con

Bsrdealns that will n-.enn n tnvlng of
great sums to tha country.. The de
struction of crops by frost, beat,
drought, and Insects Is so enormous
every year that vast amounts are In
volved. All the resources of the Pe
partment of Agriculture nnd tho many
State colleges of agriculture are en
listed lu the cause of minimizing the
destructive tendencies of the pests;
but tbey only faintly tnuUe an Im
pression on them. Irrigation on a gi
gantic scale promises to limit the loss
through drought, and powerful insecti
cides prove a formidable weapon for
the farmer to tight off the Insects. But
bent, frost and drought continue to
prove etieniloi with which farmers and
gardeners cannot cope.
It Is to help them lu this Cght that
j canvas-covered farms have bteu ertali.
Ilshid. Ati ordinary garden covercl
with plnlu, unbleached muslin or thick
canvas represents an Investment of
less than ?."r0 an acre. Tho canvas Is
mndc to roll up mid down, so that It
can be spread over the crops wlien
needed. Iu the early season of tlie
your It Is an xcollent protection from
the frost and cold wave.", and lu the
fall It serves tho same excellent pur
pose. It protects tho tender plants
from nil damage, and gives them a
start fully two or three weeks earilct
than If not thus protected. In the sum.
mor tiiuo the canvas cover proves effi
cient iu protecting the plants from
the hot n-jouday sun. In dry wcathet
the plants could survive a drought 11
they bail some protection from tin;
sun. The withering bout of tho sun
boating down upon them when the soil
Is bare of moisture completes 1 licit
destruction. They revive a little at
night time, and try to renew tlu battle
with sun and drought, but day nftei
day they are willed tlown until they
are scorched to the very heart.
THE VALVE OF A MCLCIT.
A mulch Is considrord one of the best
protectors of plants lu hot weather.
This cousins simply of some coarse
material sin-h as loaves, straw or litter,
lilacod around the busy of tho stalks
so the moisture cannot be sucked up
by the hot sun. In tir.io the sun pene
trates below tho mulch and destroys
the plants, but plant protected with a
good mulch will survive for weeks
where others not protected will ".ie in a
few days. The canvas-covered Hold
is thus protected very much as the
single plant is by a mulch. Tho sun
cannot reach down and suck up all the
moisture. Wlun it rains tlie canvas
covering is rolled up aud the ground
Is allowed to got soaked with tho rain
water. Thru I:i hot weather tho cov
ering Is replaced and the surface moist
ure is retained for weeks.
The effect of the canvas protection In
this way can hardly be overestimated.
The experimental gardens have demon
strated that in t!.. rtrytst seasons or
dinary tender crops can ho raised with
out trouble. Not only this, but seeds
can be planted l?i the field as a second
crop In July and August, and they
will germinate nnd the young plants
show no sign of being withered up by
tlie excessive bent. Iho temperature
under the covering Is ordinarily just
right for young plants. If supplied
with moisture thv will thrive as well
as in May or .Tune. There are many
second crops of vegetables which mar
ket gardeners would like to raise for
early fall, lmt owing to tho dllrk'iilrtos
of raising them succ?ss.'uliy from s;ed
in midsummer they are not planted.
l'KOTECTION FUO.U THE SL'N.
When summer cuiuca tho plains are
protected In the same way from the
hot sun. Most plants will do better
lu summer if exposed to Its direct rays
only 11 part of the day. It has been
found that the rays of the morning
sun are better for growing plants than
those of midday or afternoon. Usual
ly the canvas Is put ovir the plains
lu the middle of the day from about
eleven until three or four lu th-j af
ternoon. If the days are cloudy the
canvas Ik not put down at all.
In small gardens canvas aud muslin
covers are also employed to protect
the plants in different ways. Night
caps of muslin are made which can
be clapped over tomato vines or flowers
lu the evening aud removed in the
morning. These cups are made of light
wooden or wire frames with un
bleached muslin stretched over them.
lliey are especially used for small
plants which get an early spring start.
One person can cover an i.ero of plants
with these caps in much less thau nu
hour. They are made so that they ft
snugly Into each other, and In this
way they can bo stacke.l conveniently
uear the plants or stowd nway in the
winter In small space. They should
last four or five senso'is, and the cost
s!';v-!d r.ot be more tl.au a few cents
each.' ' ...... .
The disadvantage cf this system Is
that It Is slow work to cover and un
cover large acreages of plants, but 011
small gardens, whore only nu acre er
two are cultivated, the night caps are
liclter than the full canvas protection
which rolls up and down by means of
ropes. I' lower growers use the muslin
caps for their sensitive plants, and
many amateur llowor growers have
also adopted the system, obtaining
thereby c.tily annual flowers which
would not otherwise thrive well until
very Jate Iu the season.
A siunil strip of muslin Is thus n
great boon in the bauds of the small
flower grower. ISy stretching this
across tho garden where seedlings
have been planted, the right conditions
of temperature and moisture can be
maintained Iu the roll and above It to
suit any plants. The fresh air nud
wind can blow under tho strip of mus
lin raid suppiy tho plants with all tho
osygon they need. The sun also shines
dimly through, the thin muslin, provid
ing tho plants with the right degree of
Ugh.
Tlie vnlu of these for flower raising
has l eea demonstrated nt several of
the State experiment stations, where it
was found that violets, pansles, pinks
and other flowers increased the sizo
of their flowers each season under
tlulr prolectliig cover. A good lnanv
flowering plants thrive better iu semi
shade, and others which hare always
noon illumed in open, suuny places,
have shown better remits under the
muslin strips than elsewhere. The ex
periments being conducted now will
