Washington, as the capital Of great nation
and as the most beautiful city in the world, is
an object of patriotic interest and curiosity to
every American. Thousands come here every
year merely to visit the city and to see for
themselves the historic and attractive features
with which the place abounds. Here one can
come in contact with the great ones of the land
those prominent in public life. The city is as
sociated with the past OF the nation. From
the time of John Adams down to the pres
ent this city has been the official home of
the Presidents. The site of the city was
selected by Gen. Washington, its plan was ap-
proved by him and he watched over its
early development with anxious solicitude.
Here the great statesmen have lived and have
carved out for themselves lofty inches in the
temple of fame. There is hardly locality in
the city that Is not associated with some name or
some deed that is rendered immortal in history.
With such associations and such memories and
with its past splendor renewed and intensified
by contrast with its bright and promising
present it is not surprising that Washington Is

A resident of Quincy, ILL.,, related
the following to a note-taker of the ST.
Louis Gio5e-Den1ocrat: Several years
ago my mother died, and on her DEATH
bed she made me promise that would
keep from using profanity. She placed
her hand on my head and said Re
member and then expired. That was
the last word she ever spoke to me.
The other evening 1 was in my room
at the hotel and was feeling very much
exasperated at business arrangement
which had been knocked into a cooked
hat by the drunken spree of a certain
man. l thought the thing over, and
the more thought of it the madder
got Then commenced to curse the
luck. A long rest from it had per-
mittted a large stock of swear-words
to gather, and l was astonished at my
own volubility. Suddenly I felt hand
laid on my head and heard voice
whisper remember 1t was my moth
ers's voice and the touch of her hand
on my head. felt it just the same as
if some one was behind me, and
sprang to my feet to see who was
there, and l know that my mother
spirit was the one which rebuked me

The WINDOW GARDEN.
Some SeasonabIe Hints as to Its Function
by an Expert.

Edgar Sanders, the veteran foricul-
turist, in his department, Garden and
Lawn" in the Prairie Farmer, gossips
thus wise of the window garden:
Plants in the dwelling are evidently
on the increase. Pass down almost
any street and many of the windows
will be seen to have some kind of
greenery within. Even city stores
have plants, often used as part of the
attraction-and why not? As cities
become larger the less green trees and
grass one can see without going away
out into the outskirts to find them. A
bit of natures green harmonizes in al
most any position you place it, while
there are plenty of florists nowadays to
grow the kind of plants suitable for
the purpose. 1t is seldom opening"
days are allowed to pass without the
attraction of plants and flowers as well
as the goods exposed for sale. Even
art galleries when any special attrac-
ton is going on, find hooks that with
deft hands lend special enchantment
by the use of few palms and other
fine foliage plants, with a very few
fine, long-stemmed flowers for bits of
natural coloring. The old-fashioned
English ivy, so-called, standing in a
bracket near enough to have the living
green twined over picture or festoon-
ed across a pier glass, running up OF
even falling down carefully at the side
of window, with perhaps a single
palm or fine begonia as center OBJ
iect, is modest but effective bit o1
green tracery.
Those who like grand and perfect
specimens of plants rather than {
mixed medley of small pots need only
keep them away from others to ge
them. Plants cannot grow shapely il
the window any more than woods
packed close together. Side light il
what every plant seeks for; if it can
not get it at the sides then it will have
bare stems with bushy head of leave
at the top, like the trees in the woods
You may group enough of these naket
stemmed plants together. with the tai
at the back and the shorter at the side
so as to make an effective greenery a
a whole, but no individuality of eX
preston of particular plants. Excep
you have fancy for this kind of beau
ty better grow fewer but perfect speci
mems.
Another thing-a medley of small
ill-shaped plants, however we'll al
ranged, do not harmonic with ric
furniture, although not so noticeabl
in the kitchen or the sitting-room of tn
cottage. Think of these things an
see if it is not so.
