FRUITS AND FLOWERS.
When a limb is cut from a tree, it
should be as close to the body as possi
ble. making the cut a smooth one.
In purchasing trees select those that
have good, healthy roots and plenty of
them. The roots are the life of the
tree.
Small fruit culture will always be
most successful on the intensive plan.
Plant only a small area at a time and
give the best culture.
The garden should not only supply
early vegetables, but what is needed all
through the season, with a surplus to
store away for winter.
With apples for home use sot out
enough varieties to keep up a constant
succession from midsummer through
autumn and winter and of long keepers
to lust until small fruits come in.

THE WAY TO GET RICH
"THE EMPIRE OF BUSINESS," BY THE
LITTLE EMPEROR HIMSELF.
Do Into the Steel HiiMiiiesa While
There IN n l linm-E to Defraud La
bor—Every (I'arnegle) Library
Should Have a Copy of the Hook.
Mr. Andrew Carnegie's new book.
'The Empire of Business," is out, and
liis publishers are sending to all news
papers a large sheet of extracts with
full permission to reprint. Here is a
selection from the sample sheet:
The trouble is that men are not paid at
any tirm; the compensation proper to that
time. All concerns necessarily keep
iilk-d with orders, say, for six months in
advance, and these orders are taken, of
course, at prices prevailing when they are
booked. This year's operations furnish
perhaps the best illustration of the dilii
culty. Steel rails at the end of last year
for delivery this year were S2U a ton at the
works. Of course the mills entered orders
freely at this price and kept on entering
them until the demand, growing unexpect
edly great, carried prices up to $35 a ton.
Now the various mills in America are
compelled for the next six months or more
to run upon orders which do not average
s3l per ton at the seaboard and Pittsburg
and, say, $34 at Chicago. Transportation,
iron stone and prices of all kinds have ad
vanced upon them in the meantime, and
they must therefore run for the bulk of
the year upon very small margins of prof
it. Hut the men, noticing in the papers
the "great boom in steel rails," very nat
urally demand their share of the advance,
and under our existing faulty arrange
ments between capital and labor they
have secured it. The employers therefore
have grudgingly given what they know
under proper arrangements they should
not have been required to give, and there
has been friction und still is dissatisfac
tion upon the part of the employers. He
verse this picture. The steel rail market
falls again. The mills , have still six
months' work at prices above the prevail
ing market and can afford to pay men
higher wages than the then existing state
of the market would apparently justify;
but, having just been amerced in extra
payments for labor which they should not
have paid, they naturally attempt to re
duce wages us the market price of rails
goes down, and there arises discontent
among the men. and we have u repetition
of the negotiations ami strikes which
have characterized the beginning of this
year. In other words, when the employer
is going down the employee insists on
going up and vice versa. What we must
seek is a plan by which men will receive
high wages when their employers are re
ceiving high prices for the product and
hence are making large prolits, and per
contra, when the employers are receiving
low prices for product and therefore small,
if any, profits, the men will receive low
wages. If this plan can be found, em
ployers and employed will be "in the same
boat," rejoicing together In their pros
perity and calling into play their fortitude
together in adversity. There will be no
room for quarrels, and instead of a feel
ing of antagonism there will be a feeling
of partnership between employers and em
ployed. There is a simple means of pro
ducing this result, and to its general in
troduction both employers and employed
should steadily bend their energies.
Wages should be based upon a sliding
scale In proportion to the net prices re
ceived for product month by month. It is
impossible for capital to defraud labor un
der a sliding scale.
! The foregoing is not reproduced for
the purpose of controversy, but be
cuuse of the bits of information it con
i tains. Yet it may not be out of place
!to off era few comments. In the first
1 place, it is agreed that the sliding
scale, which Mr. Carnegie supports, is
a fair way of arranging the wage
settle, but the admission in the closing
! sentence of the extract quoted is sorne
j what of a surprise, and very likely the
I author didn't intend that it should he
j so read. The natural inference is that
it is not "impossible for capital to de
fraud labor" in the absence of the
sliding scale.
Mr. Carnegie didn't intend that his
hook should be a plea for labor. On
the contrary, a careful reading of the
1 foregoing extract will show distinctly
iiis Jjias the other way. Under comli
| tions most unfavorable to the capital
ist s, as shown by Mr. Carnegie in the
example used, tlie employers are still
able to run their mills at a margin of
prolit. though the profit is not large—
lin the millionaire author's eyes. But
that there is plenty of money for the
I employer in tlie steel business, not
withstanding the avarice of the work
! ingmen, is shown by the fact that An
| drew Carnegie is today rich enough to
I write a book that is praised by the
! press, and we have the testimony of
his publishers that every dollar of his
I stupendous fortune is composed of his
pickings from the fund representing
j the value added to raw material by
I labor. It must have been possible in
| the days of Mr. Carnegie's business
activity "for capital to defraud labor."
Read what the prospectus of "The
Empire of Business" says about the
author's acquirement of great riches:
I "The importance of Mr. Andrew Car
! nogie's book, 'The Empire of Business,'
is perhaps best realized when we con
sider his long experience as the most
successful purely business man this
i country lias ever known. Mr. Carnegie
j created a business out of nothing. He
I did not make his fortune by commis-
I sion, as a banker, or by handling mer
| chandise as a trader, but by manufac
' turing material taken out of the sur
! fnee of tlie earth. He never speculut
ied in a share of railroad stock. He
1 owned a complete railroad, but built
| expressly for the purpose of his own
manufacturing industry. lie built
! mills, but never sold them. lie ere
j ate<l his: own line of lake steamships.
' He bought land and mined his own
ore and built up from nothing a busi
ness which was eventually sold to the
steel trust for several hundred mil
lions. What a man of his experience
has to say upon the principles and
practice of business is of the very
greatest importance."

I Jiuimle Garfield, to whom President
; Roosevelt has offered the position of
civil service commissioner to succeed
Commissioner Rodenberg, is said to
possess many of the characteristics of
his distinguished father. lie began in
public life where his father did, the
state senate of Ohio.
In that body he served two terms and
was then a hustling candidate for the
nomination for representative, being
defeated by Representative Jacob A.
Behllcr. Jimmie Garfield lias an exten

married a daughter of the late John
Newell, who was for years president of
the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern
railroad. Mrs. Garfield Is said to he
worth $1.(100.000 in her own numc, in
herited from her father's estate.
Jimmie Garfield lives at Lawnfleld,
Mentor, the home of the late president.
The house has been enlarged since the
former president's death. The little
frame building which was his father's
study adjoins the residence. All the
books and papers of the late president
are kept here, and they are in the same
position as when he left them to enter
the White House. T#e son has been

Paderewski Proud of II IN Neck f
Paderewski, possibly to inure himself
to the rigors of all climes or possibly
because lie was brought up a hardy
youth in a cold country, wears low cut
shirts and waistcoats. Russian furs
may protect the artistic chest and
hands, but the neck is left bare in the
severest weather. The pianist's rubi
cund and fair skin resembles that of a
woman. The neck also is like a wom
an's. This suggests that perhaps Pad
erewski wears low cut garments be
cause he is proud of his neck.
'I lie Kina of Spain.
The crowning of Alfonso XIII. on
May 17 makes him the king of Spain
at the age of sixteen. Since he has
been old enough to observe Alfonso has
witnessed turbulent happenings under
the regency in the land over which he
is now to actually reign. The situation
is improved at present, and the young
king takes up the scepter at a time of
comparative quietude—that Is, it is
ALFONSO XIII.

known. The stories concerning him are
very conflicting. However, it is believ
ed that under the training of his moth

that he will get along without any

Lord Pnnnoefnte to Summer Abroad.
j Dr. Osier, the Baltimore specialist,
was called in consultation recently and
advised that the British embassador,
Lord I'aiincKote, spend the summer at
; Alx-les-Bains. No date has yet been

parture for Europe.
I WHY NOSES POINT EAST.
i A Theory Which I* Plausible. bat
Itutlicr ItUliculoUM.
Very few people's noses are set prop
, perly upon tlieir faces. Any observant
person who will go along the street and
j take notice of the nasal organs of the
passerby may easily convince himself
on the subject. Not one individual in
I a hundred, whether man or woman, is
i above criticism as to the arrangement
| of his or her nose.
One might think that nature is a lit'
tie careless about this matter. When
the nose turns off at an angle instead
of assuming its Just and proper atti
tude, it tends, at all events in extreme
j cases, to give a disordered effect to the
features as a whole, but if nature real
ly does not care which way a nose
points there ought to be as man}' noses
turned one way as are turned the oth
! er.
j But is this the case? Not a bit of it.
i As you walk down the street look at
1 the people as they go by, and you will
discover tliut the noses of ninety-nine
i out of every hundred turn to the right.
! When once you have begun to notice
this fact, it will constantly attract
j your attention. In truth, tlie objec
: titm to starting in upon a study of this
kind is that you cannot get away from
it afterward. It haunts you steadily
and persistently. Whenever you meet
| a friend you look at his nose to make
I sure whether it turns to the right or
i not.
Now. the phenomenon being as de
scribed, what is the reason behind it?
Why should nearly everybody's nose
turn to the right rather than to tlie
I left? There seems to be only one way
to account for it, and that is that al
most everybody is right handed and
uses his handkerchief correspondingly;
so from infancy to old age the no§e in
t lie process of being blown and wiped
| is persistently tweaked to the right;
! hence as the infant passes through
' childhood and later youth—when the
nasal organ is flexible and in process
of formation, so to speak—it is obliged
gradually but surely to assume an in
clination eastward.
If this theory be correct, the noses of
left handed persons ought to turn cus
tomarily to the left. Such, in fact, ap
pears to be the case, but data on this
interesting branch of the question arc
not sufficiently complete to afford a
final conclusion. Saturday Evening
Post.
FLOWER AND TREE.
Altheas show their Itose of Sharon
(lowers in August and September.
In setting out a tree the previous
season's growth should be shortened
one-third to three-fourths, according to
the roots.
The golden coreopsis and the feath
ery shoots of the garden asparagus
make a beautiful and artistic combina
tion in a simple vase.
Watercress is good when the leaves
are large. The size of the leaves indi
cates the amount of tissue—strengthen
ing chlorophyll—in them.
The safest rule in pruning is to keep
watch on the young trees and cut out
any branch that seems to need removal
while it is yet small enough to yield
to the knife.
Trees that grow large tops, such as
elms, silver maples, lindens, etc..
should be planted forty-five feet apart
in order to allow each tree room for
expansion and prevent too much
shade.
Plants of sweet William must be pur
chased for a new garden, as those
grown from seed sown in the spring
will not blossom until the spring fol
lowing. Once started, however, they
will continue year after year.
Black Sen Peculiarities.
The It life k sea differs in a most re
markable manner from other seas and
oceans. A surface current flows eon
! tinuously from the Black sea into the
! Mediterranean and an under current
from the Mediterranean into the Black
sea. The latter current is salt, and, be
ing heavier than the fresh water above,
it remains stagnant at the bottom. Be
ing saturated with sulphuretted hydro
gen, this water will not maintain life,
and so the Black sea contains no living
inhabitants below the depth of about
100 fathoms. The deeper water when
brought to the surface smells exactly
like rotten eggs.
Hun Been.
An Englishman went into a restau
rant in a New England town and was
served for his first course with a deli
cacy unknown to him, so he asked the
waiter what it was, and the waiter re
plied :
"It's bean soup, sir." whereupon the
Englishman in high indignation re
sponded:
"I don't care what it's been; I want
to know what it is!" Philadelphia
