WHAT THE POET READS.

The eyes of the poet are busy,
And will be, evermore,
In reading what Nature has written
In her books of wonderful lore;
Her books of the forest and mountain,
The sea and the wreck-strewn shore
Now he reads over an idyl
Of peace in the meadow fair
poem set to the music
He hears in earth and air, 5s d
Forgetting that life has trouble
And human hearts have care.
Then he turns the pages over,
And between them leaves flower,
And reads in the mountains epic
Such thoughts of mighty power
That they haunt him with their greatness
For many and many an hour.
He sits down by the ocean,
And reads in the pages there
OF vain regrets and longings,
OF losses and despair,
And of the wearisome burdens
Earth's children have to bear.
Then he sees little flower
That in autumn seems to die
But lives again in the gladness
OF April's air and sky,
And it seems the sweetest poem
That gladdens the poets eye.
The promise of heavens springtime,
To all the souls of men,
Is symboled in this frail flower
That dies to live again;
And his heart, like the flower, looks upward,
And questions softly, "When?"

The Hibiscus.


For very beautiful plant for decorat-
ing the lawn during the summer, there is
probably nothing more desirable than the
Hibiscus. 1t is believed to be of Chinese
origin, and may be classed among the
most gaudy of sub-tropical shrubs.
1t requires some care and attention in
order to secure the best appearance.
When well protected it forms quite a large
shrub, and is particularly noticeable be-
cause of it's very dark green and glossy
foliage and when to this is added, as there
may be, a profusion of very large semi
double rich red blossoms, it is simply
grand. There is also variety producing
single blossoms of fully as large size and
of the same deep red.
There are other varieties producing
flowers of differentcolors, but none seems
to possess a greater richness of beauty
than the dark red The plant in northern
latitudes is best grown in tubs or boxes
so that it may be taken to the cellar or
warm room for protection when no con-
servatory or green house is enjoyed 1t is
quite largely branching in it's growth,
with an abundance of it's rich leaves even
ly scattered over its many branches. 1t
requires, or does it's best i'll, highly fer
tilted soil, and will thus produce great
er wealth of blossoms, giving to them,
as well as the leaves, greater size and
richness of coloring. We have sew
eral of these shrubs from two to three
feet in height, with branches spreading
over as'great a diameter. They are con
tanned in large boxes, and though Origi-
nally set in rich soil, we frequently re-
plenish by removal of the surface and a
substitution of decompOsed manure, and
as a result there has been hardly any
cessation of blossoming from springuntiI
now, and can at this writing (Septembcr
19) count upon one of the plants nearly
fifty buds and blossoms. When in the
greenhouse or home, the plant requires
frequent spraying or washing in order to
keep the foliage clean and healthy.
This will most likely be shed before
spring, which is no detriment to the plant,
as it takes it's rest in the winter, storing
up strength that it may adOrn itself more
beautifully in the summer and autumn.
1t should be one OF the attractions OF
the desirable hOme.-Wm. HI. Yeomans
in the Peninsula Home Journal
[Although the Chinese Hibiscus is a
quite tender plant, being cut down by Sc
we're frosts, it is most valuable one for
growing in our Florida yards. 1t thrives
here perfectly, and if frozen down springs
up again from the root and grows so
rapidly as to soon replace itself, and
blooms profusely the year round. If the
winters are mild it soon forms an i'm
mense bush and is then an object ofgreat
beauty. In the fall it is we'll to bank up
the earth for few inches about the main
stem, in order to save as much of it as
possible in case the top is cut down by
frosts. There are several very distinct
and extremely beautiful forms ofthecom-
mon Chinese Hibiscus III rosa sinensis.)

it can be cut into six-inch lengths, and
treated as directed for roots, whenyoung
plants soon appear from various parts of
the buried stem, and these when large
enough can be removed and potted. p

nailed them around it log cabin style, fas-
tened wires to hang it up by, and then set
it in one of my little miniature ponds to
soak for an hour or so. Then hung it at
the edge of the north porch under big
oak tree, which is hung with Florida
moss. Around the oak is a large bed of
tall ferns growing rank, some little minia-
ture tamarack trees in tubs as a back
ground to the ferns and weeping flow
ering bass-wood in a tub in the centre of
the ferns. All around the edge of the fern
bed are growing both yellow and blue
Gus and rank they look At the foot of
the oak is planted a Virginia Creeper, or
five-leaved ivy (Ampelopsis Quinquefolia)
which climbs all around in the tree. My
ferns are from the woods, and have been
set seven or eight years. They were small
when set out, but will now average from
two to three feet | think | never saw
them as fine in the woods just across
the walk from these, at the end of the
front yard in the northeast corner is a
little oval-shaped pond, which made by
scooping out the earth, pounding small
stones into the bottom and then cement
ing with Rosendale cement. 1t holds
about twenty pals of water, and | keep
fish in it in the summer. On the east of
this is a white cedar hedge about ten feet
high. Just back of the pond, or on the
south of it, is a stone wall two feet high,
and back of that nice white cedar about
twelve feet tall. Overhanging the whole
is a mammoth black oak tree which keeps
the pond III partial shade all day long.
The top of the stone wall is fiat and on
this | set good sized palm, Cham@rops
Excelsa.
Around the pond is almost everything
which grows in our woods-ferns, vines,
MOSES, wintergreens, etc. I do not know,
but presume there are over fifty kinds of
woods plants in that one littlecorner; all
have come with the moss with which first
covered the ground six years ago, and
they droop over and cover the margin of
the pond and make it look as if it were
all natural. It is the admiration of every
one.
Then in the northwest corner of the
yard there is sanotherpond. a little larger,
where the sun shines all the forenoon Tt
is filled with manure at the bottom, then
black muck and in this are growing pond
lilies, Nymphea Odorata. They bloomed
there last summer, and | have wintered
them there two winters. Everything is
my own work, with my own hands, but l
have not told you one-half about my
fairy land, nor about that part of my
yard where | am endeavoring to form a
miniature Florida with the plants you
sent me. But you will be tired before you
get this read, so | will close, with thanks
for your kindness. MRS. S. M. O.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
INpIANAPoLrs, February 20.-The most
interesting phase of Cabinet speculation
now is the prevailing impression that the
Pacific slope is going to be left out. Until
within the past few days, it has been gen.
orally believed that California would GER
tainly be represented, but the recent pub
location of complete Cabinet states with
California omitted, has given rise to many
conjectures as to the cause. The gener-
ally accepted theory is that it is due to
factional strife and too many ambitious
aspirants, whose friends are entirely toe
ready to privately make detrimental
charges. Judge Estee was regarded az
having the best chance of being called,
and it is by no means regarded as settled
that either his name or some other Cali.
fornian's will not finally appear among
the Cabinet stars.
General Harrison preserves his accus
toned reticence about this, as all Other
Cabinet matters. Congressman Morrow
of San Francisco, arrived from Washing.
ton this morning. and proceeded imme'
.diately to Harrison's residence. He came
to urge that the Pacific slope be recog
nized. He had blood in his eye, go te
speak, when he left Harrison's home, anC
the suggestion that California is going te
be left out, brought from him a quick
protest. He expects to return to Wash
ington this afternoon.
