The Care OF Calias.

Now this, I Judge, is the scientific
treatment to give the Gala. Let it have
rest from June to September, but do
not suffer its rootlets to die or become
withered. Look closely at a Gala root.
1t is like cord of flesh, and each deli
cate hair is a mouth, through which
nour;shment is to be drawn for the
plant If the bulb is found stripped of
its live and healthy rootlets when time
for reporting comes, then two or three
months will be taken in supplying a
new network before there will be any
extra energy TO put into blossoms.
Here is seen the error of the drying
process" 1t is a waste of strength and
time 10 suffer the roots to become i'm
paired.
The method l have employed for
years is to place the plots outdoors in
their erect position, thus inSuring to
them the watering of the dew and Oc-
casional rains, no more, unless there
be long drouth, during which they
should be sometimes sprinkled. In
September the plants, having then one
or two short leaves, are repotted, taking
care TO preserve all the healthy roots
unlnjured; regular watering is COM
menced; two or three new leaves are
thrust out and blossoms are secured
within month after reporting. Few
callas, under the ''drying process.
will blossom before January or Febru-
arv. Under the plan here advocated,
the resting process, they are secured
in October, and are produced during
the longer period in equal plenty and
luXuriance.
j have had thirteen blossoms within
a twelve-mO from a single bulb with
but one crown and stalk. Who can
show better results than this? / do not
permit the younger bulbs to grow, but
force ali the strength of the plant into
one stalk. and am repaid by having my
lilies come in pairs, two out of each
blossom leaf, one generally showing
itself before the other is gone. With my
five pots, of single stalk each, l have
had seven blossoms in sight at once
and never less than three.
Single stalks grow in greater luxuri-
aDce, producing larger blooms and
leaves. By crowding the pots with
MANY stalks, more blossoms will be Sc
cured from the same space at your win
dow, but they will be of an inferior or
der. The true window gardener is not
anxious to have so many plants, but
strong, and large, and blooming ones.
Give me one large Gala that blossoms
freely rather than a dozen tiny pots.
Do not water caIlaS at the bottom;
for no matter how warm the water Is,
il will be cold when it reaches the roots.
1t is better 10 use as warm as the hand
will bear, and pour in at the top, let
ting the Old and cold water run off at
the bottom. The whole pot is then
thoroughly warmed through. Use as
little water as may be, else the richness
of the earth will be carried off 10y that
which escapes. A little ammonia in
the water adds greatly to the vigor and
productiveness of the plant.-N. Y. In.

school she dressed in Chinese fashion,

pleaded with her father to let her adopt

London bridge had it been destroyed the
ether day 10y the dynamite plotters would
have left a gap i'll metropolitan arrange
ments not easily to be filed up This, how
ever, could not have been said of the old
London bridge. The venerable structure
was 9lj feet in length The street that
covered it consisted, before the houses fell to
decay, Of lofty edifces, built with some at
ten!ion to exterior regularity. 1t was
twenty feet wide, and the buildings ON either
side about twenty-siX feet i'll depth. Across
the middle Of the street ran several lofty
arches extending from side to side; the bot
tom part of each arch terminating at the
first story, and the upper part reaching near
the tops of the houses. They were designed
to prevent the buildings from giving way
and were therefore formed OF strong timber
bolted in the corresponding woodwork of the
houses that flankel them Thus the street
on the bridge had nothing TO distinguish it
from any narrow street in the city but the
high arches described and three openings
guarded with iron rails, which afforded
view Of the river.
But the appearance from the water, it is
stated, "bGfiled ali description and displayed
a strange example of curious deformity
Nineteen unequiiaterial arches of different
heights and breadths, with sterlings in
creased to moustrous size by frequent re
pairs, served to support a range OF houses as
irregular as themselves; "the back part Of
which, broken by hanging and irregular
projections, offered very disgusting OBJ
je2t while many Of the buildings overhung
the arches SO as to hide the upper part of
them, aud seemed to lean in such manner
as 20 OH the behoder with equal amazement
and horror" Such was London bridge in
