Window Hardening

Those who have plants in the ground
which they intend blooming in the win.
dow, make mistake if they delay tax
ing them up until frost is threatened.
If the plants have been left in the pots
which have been plunged in the open
ground, the change is not SO sudden,
but if the plants have been turned out
of the pots, and their roots have been
allowed free growth, it is another mat
ter. With many plants turned out,
the better plan is to raise new ones
from cuttings for next winters bloom
ing, and let the old ones 60. But it is
often desirable to take up and pot an
old plant. In such cases do not wait
until there is danger Of frost, and then
hurriedly dig up the plant, and crowd
its roots into q pot. Suppose the plant
to be taken up is a geranium; begin at
least q month before the time of re-
moval to prepare it for the change. 1t
will have made an enormous top,
which must be cut back and the plant
put into neat compact shape. The
change from the open ground to the
pot should take place before cool
nights have checked the growth.
Amateur gardeners, as a general thing,
are afraid to use the knife. If in tax
ing up all the plants that are to be kept
in the window during the winter, they
would cut the tops back, to correspond
to the disturbance of the roots, they
would have much better success. Very
old specimens Of such quick growing
plants as geraniums are 50 rarely salts
| factory when ililgu from the open
ground, that even at this late day we
should prefer to start young plants
from cuttings. On the other hand
hard-wooded plants such as roses, with
strong plants are preferable, and these
should be taken up this month and be
well established in pots. The plant
should be pruned before it is lifted, and
then given fair-sized pot with rich
soil. Give water and place it in the
shade for few days, and it will recov.
er from the change and be in god con-
dition for the window. IS
No plants are more satisfactory for
window culture than the Dutch bulbs,
as they are called, especially hyacinths
and narcissus. They are not always to
be had as early as this month, but as
soon as the dealers offer them they
should be procured and potted, in rich
soil, and the pots kept in cool, dark
| place. Agric,ikurist.

Katy's gloves were a marvel to us.
She never wore any but of good quail
ty, and always the same color--a
brownish, neutral tint, that harmonized
with almost any dress but just now a
new pair would seem to be the one
thing needful, from the appearance Of
the ones she brought out.
She sat and patiently mended the
little rents, while | read aloud; and
when she had finished, the gloves look

but could not find it.
Katy mourned for it.

Turned White From Terror.

Lone Star ranch is becoming famous
as productive of some very remarkable
sheep. 1t was on the Lone Star ranch
that the wonderful three-ply sheep was
born. We refer, efcourse, to the sheep
with three eyes, three ears, and three
tails, which was fully described in the
Gazette three weeks ago. We have re-
ceived advices from our special cores
pondent, w. w. Cook, whom we have
engaged as a specialist to keep scien-
tifc eye on the peculiar happenings at
the ranch. In the course of his letter
on the recent phenomenon, Mr.. Cook
says AS most Of your readers probab-
ly know, black wool brings from 5 to
10 cents a pound less than the cores

to secure the separation Of the inferior
product as our shearing operations pro-
crossed, we placed the black sheep in q
pen by themselves. There were thus

and almost without days warning he
found himself poor man. He left
his affairs ip the hands of his creditors
satisfied himself that they
could gather enough from the wreck to
save themselves-and set his face to
London.
He had been educated for physi-
clan, though fortune made merchant
of him. Learning from a friend that
there was an opening for q doctor in
Fenwick, he came thither and began to
practice.
DR.. Sewell had gone off on visit,
leaving his patients in charge of the
new doctor; and 80 it came about that
on that Saturday evening he was on
his way to visit Maggie Lloyd, the sick
girl at the lodging house, when, Just
after turning the corner near the news
shop. he saw a brown glove lying on the
pavement. He was about to pass it
by; but q mans instinct to pick up any
thing of value that seems to have no
owner, made him put it in his pocket.
He forgot all about it the next minute.
But when he had made mis- call and
returned to his consulting room, in
takinga paper from his pocket the
glove fell out, and he picked it up and
looked at it with idle curiosity.
It was old, but well-preserved. II
had been mended often, but 80 neatly
as to make him regard mending as one
Of the fine arts. Ithad q strangely IA
miliar look to him. Little, and bro wn,
and shapely, it lay on his knee, bearing
the very form Of the hand that had
worn it.
And as he gazed at il there came to
hin1 the memory Ut ali iiiDur, q many
