ism In Washington.

The figures given above tell very interest
ing and useful story to business men and people
in every walk Of life who desire to reach the
eye of the public with any announcement
whatever. They need neither Boosting. ampli-
fcation, nor comment, since they show that the
circulation of THE STAR largely exceeds that of
al the other daily papers published in Wash
ington added together. That the advantages
OF THE STAR as an advertising medium are prop
erly appreciated is also fully demonstrated by
the fact that Saturdays issue contained nearly
one thousand separate advertisements or an
nouncements, or. to be precise. exactly $50.
OF this number i59 were Ise,c advertisements. APP
pearing for the first time in that issue: and of
the whole number $50 we're of the class IA
miharly known ~ short ads. that is,

Chances" Lost and Found,n special No.

This is the largest number OF new advertise
men,s that has ever appeared in a single issue
Of the paper.
The STAR is the peoples paper. Il as a
paper Of to-ctay-not of yesterday. nor last week.

eign, and tells the truth about it. and about all
other things with which the people of Washing
tOnare concerned. In fact it has no other inter
est than the common interest of this commu-
nifty. This, in short, is the cause of its being,
and the secret OF its success

Flowers Not Much Trouble When Com

In order to succeed with house
plants, care must be taken to keep the
red spider, aphis and white earth
worms away, or you will have no
blooms. For the first, spray literally
with water. Set the plant in a large
pan or tub and wash thoroughly all
the leaves. For the second, use insect
powder with small bellows, or sui
phur fumes For earth worms, tea

of water. is said to kill them.
l always take slips of geraniums,
and all plants wanted for winter
blooming the next year in February or
March, start them in soil kept in the
cellar for that purpose during the win
ter, using a small box three inches
higher at the back than in front and
covered with pane of glass. When
we'll rooted, | transfer them to small
pots. A five-inch pot is plenty large
enough for geraniums to bloom in.
Keep the buds pinched off all summer,
and also pinch out the tops to make
them bushy.
Chinese primroses do best for me
raised from seed planted in April or
May. They will bloom nicely the
following winter. 1t is quite study
to plant and raise them properly.
My window was lovely last winter.

planted them in good soil, with the
crown of the bulb just below the sur
face, put them down cellar on swing
ing shelf, and left them there just
month. Then l brought them to the
sitting-room few at time, in order
to secure a succession of bloom. The
white Romans bloom first, then the
double ones. / had quite as good sue
cess with the double as with single
varieties.
To make my roses bloom, 1 use SCOT
tea on them once a week. Care must
be taken not to use it too strong. The
water ought to be just colored with it.
Wash them at least twice week when
they are kept in sitting-room window,
and always keep water on the stove in
cold weather. When they have bloomed
cut off the flower stem and good-sized
slip with it, put the cutting in your
slip box to root, and in this way in
crease your stock. Roses must al ways
be pruned, as they flower only on new
wood.
If you have no flowers, by all means
get few. They are not much trouble,
as compared with the amount of pleas
ure they give. Helen Deane, in Min

There is horse in Cayuga County

A cat in Mississippi recently gave
up its life to save the community.
The river was very high, and the dixie
which had been built to keep out the
waters gave way in one place and the
water was pouring in unnoticed, when
the cat passed by and, realizing the
condition of affairs, crawled into the
hole and stopped the flood. 1t is esti-
mated that $4,000 and a number of
lives were saved by the heroic feline,
and the villagers have built beauti-
full tomb of red granite, with mice
carved in relief, over the bones of the
animal.

THE check-rein has been abolished In
England by law.
TRAVELLERS say that in Victoria there are
trees more than 500 feet in height.
THUNDER STORMS have never been so fire.
Quent N Paris as since the Eiffel Tower has
been there, and it is becoming recognized
as the cause.
THE Queen of England seldom drinks
more than one small glass Of wine at din
ner, and afterward takes a few drops Of
good Scotch whisky.
AN admirable society for the help OF
bachelors has been started in London. The
programme is to provide persons who will
sew on buttons, darn, mend and otherwise
care for the neglected habiliments of I'M
welded gentlemen.
EVERY Bank of England note presented for
redemption to the sold lady of Threadnee-
die street. in the century and more of her
existence is on file and cancelled, and so in
dexed and docketed that it could be found
within ten minutes.
In remembrance of her good work for
Hindoo women, number of large photo
graphs of Lady Dufferin, done on porcelain
and handsomely framed, are being distrib-
uted by subscription to most of the hospi-
tails in India, where they will be hung up in
the wards.
THE Queens pages are given their educa-
ton at Elton free of charge, and are only
called away from school on great State oc-
casions. The rules about precedence are
so unbending that if page and his father
be going to the same Drawn Room, the
boy takes precedence of his own parent,
and drives up before him in special state
carriage.
DUELs between ladies are not altogether
unknown, but one which has recently taken
place at Nurnberg, Germany, has nothing
of the comic element which, as a rule dis
tinguishes the attempt of the women of the
period to pose as fighting Amazons. Two
sisters, aged eighteen and twenty, respect
lively, and acting under the influence OF
the demon jealousy, fought duel in the
old South German town. The arms chosen
were knives, and the result was that one of
the girls lost an eye, while the other was
terribly cut about the face.
A BAND of petty thieves, armed with
scissors, is now said to frequent all great
crowds in London and other large European
cities in which ladies are numerous. The
members of the band are as deft as their
scissors are sharp, and they are too
often able to successfully cut the nantes,
ETC., of fashionably dressed ladies in order
to secure the valuable ornaments, pieces of
embroidered trimmings, and even the ex-
pensive buttons which they wear. In Paris
this scissors gang" has worked terrible
havoc in the more crowded parts of the Elk.
position buildings and grounds.
A DEBATING club in Germany has been
discussing for two years the question
whether it is possible to get nothing for
something. The realists say yes, and ad-
duce numerous instances In commercial
transactions. But the idealists say no.
''For," they argue, ''if nothing really is
nothing, how can you get ita" Then every
body drinks beer for a month or two, until
some bright realist thinks up an answer to
this question. The beer-seller, in whose
hall the club meets, says it is one of the
finest debates he has ever heard, and he
confidently expects it to run along for an.
other year at least.
