the guests q Few Gays after are samples OF
the contrast which the famous ball room at her
street house have witnessed.
WHERE MRS. POTTER WAS MADE FAMOUS.
In this ball room Mrs. James Brown Potter,
then in the heyday Of her success as an amateur
actress, recited the poem which created for
her such notoriety that her future career be-
longed to the public.
Mrs. Whitney left Washington with intense
regret, but was as firmly decided never again to
return here as an official resident. Her extreme
self-possessiou could not stand the strain to
which her friends subjected it the iastfew days
after the 4th OF March, 1889. The good-byes
were tenderiy said, but they hurt acuteiy. They
were probably the only sad moments she had in
this city, 30 far as the world could judge.
Walking through the rooms the last day
with a friend, she said: 81 only hope that the
next occupant Of this house will have as happy
home in it as 1t has been for u.s."
In this wish she has been amply gratifed
No family in the present cabinet has thought
more kindly Of the queen Of the Cleveland
cabinet circle than the Wanamsker's. They
have found their home pleasant one, and they
will leave 1t with as keen regret as che did.
Like her they express the same kindly wish for
those who are to follow them.
MRS. WHITNEY NEVER RETURNED.
While Mr. Whitney has been in this city fire.
quently since he left the Navy Department.. no
Inducements could prevail upon his wife to
come. Since the democratic victory, however,
she changed her mind, and there would have
been no more elated spectator Of the coming
Inauguration ceremonies than She had her life
been spared. She was intensely proud Of the
share her husband had in bringing about the
triumph Of his party, - she was in every other
success and incident Of his public and family
life.
The first indications Of the dread disease
which brought to such premature end the
lie OF this brilliant woman came over year
ago. Mrs. Whitney was ailing . great deal Of
last winter, though only those who knew her
intimately we're aware Of it She had her New
York house newly decorated the past summer
and fall In anticipation Of the entertainments
since given in honor Of the debut of Miss
whitney. She spent last summer ct Newport,
where she outranked.every other hostess in the
number and variety Of her entertainments, and
the fall months at Tuxedo Park. Last week
TO her friends here came the sad announcement
from those nearest her bedside that her death
was certain. That prsmonition did not, how
ever, make the nsws Of her death any less Q
shock, and In every household IL was heard
with unfeigned regret.

J. j. II. Gregory. excellent authority,
writes as follows to Rural New Yorker:
AS every farmer knows. if cabbages on
the eve of splitting are started a little
tither by being pushed over on one side
or pulled inst sufficiently to start the
roots, the heads will continue to increase
and grow much larger than the size nor
NAL of the variety. | have known the
Early Jersey Wakefield under such treat
ment to make heads of nearly the size of
two gallon water pail. Perhaps the
philosophy of it is that while a rapid
growth favors the pushing of the seed
shoot and the consequent bursting of the
head slower growth with plenty of
plant food at hand has not the power to
develop the shoot, and all the vigor goes
consequently into the head Those with
me that grew largest WE, e started two
or three times. We usually push first
on one side sufficiently to start the roots
slightly; in week or fortnight push
over from the other side, and finally half
pull perpendicularly from the ground.

Dang ers of Tennis PLAYING.

Doctors, who are inclined to condemn
ms unwholesone almost everything that
is pleasant in this world, now tell us that
tennis IS dangerous amusement for
young women unless it is played with
great caution. The warning does not
seem unnecessary when one recollects
that the numerous devotees of the
game know no moderation when they
are fired by the ambition of becoming
crack players. They arise at dawn to
practice; they keep at it morning, noon
and as late into the night as they can
zee to strike the ball. They are not de-
TERED from playing by the hour on the
hottest days of summer, under q broil-
ing sun, when cattle, dogs and other
rational creatures have sought shad-
ow and quiet.
Such course is far from beneficial to
a strong man, on whose powerful mus
clcs the exercise entails no special strain.
But for slender girl, quite likely en-
ca5ed in stiff cuirass of bone and steel,
1t cannot fail to be very injurious, even
If overheating and exhaustion We're the
only evil effects. But physicians state
that the continuous and violent upward
Teaching of the arms causes such
strain on the cartilage which connects
the ribs with the breastbone that it ia
not infrequently almost wrenched loose
from its fastening. 1t is fortunate if
nothing worse results than lameness and
pain, doctors attendance and regime
Of perfect rest and baggy clothing.

OfIntercst to Whist PLAYERS

The whist players Of America are
q eatly interested because of the pres
ence on this side of the water of Henry
Jones. the Englishman who writes on
this noble game of cards over the sigma
ture of Cavendish. Mr.. Jonesis here for
the purpose of taking part in the whist
congress that is to be held in Chicago,
and he is in great demand wherever he
goes. Whist players and newspaper
mon bcseech him for interviews, the
first class for the purpose of having
Motty points Of play settled by his auto
cratic tips, and the second for copy that
may be sold for shekels The PLAYERS
are delighted because the great British
expert says the American lead" has been
adopted by progressive English players,
and the reporters occasionally secure
CROUCH Of his time to enable the making
Of salable story.
1t should be understood by the public
that the whist congress is in no sense a
part Of or held under the auspices of the
officers of the Worlds fair. 1t is an an
nual gathering of whist players, who de-
ciiod to meet in Chicago this year pos
sibly because the fair is held there, but
its arrangements are entirely in their
hands and have been made independent
ly of the Columbian exposition's commits
siOners.

men and women with some fashionable

Aphides or plant lice on both roses

pests to gardeners, but the latter are es-
pecially dif1icnlt to get rid of.
The rose aphidcs are easily controlled,
and anything will kill them. Pyreth-
rum, an ounce to two gallons of water;
tobacco decoction, a half pound to gal
lon of water; whale oil soap and kero-
sene emulsion, all are effective if only
applied thoroughly and persistently.
The chrysanthemum aphides are, how
ever, much more hardy, none of the sub
stances above named acting in the same
proportions. according to the New

A List of Hardy Varieties and How to
Treat Them.
Some folks have an idea that rhododen-
Grons are not hardy and hesitate to plant
them. Others have planted some that
failed to thrive. and they are disappoint-
ed. and so on. The editor of Gardening
says there are cases where the rhododen-
dron is imperfectly understood. Some
rhododendrons are perfectly hardy. 9th
ers again come from the mountainous
regions of tropical countries and are not
hardy here. and there is host of inter
mediate forms.
The proper thing to do, then, is to find
out which varieties are perfectly hardy
| here and confine our selection to these
sorts Our hardy varieties are the de-
scendants of our own r. Catawbiense.
The authority mentioned recommends
as an excellent list of tried hardy sorts

/ How should we treat rhododendrons in
gardens? Mr. Falconer advises: Give
them shelter from sweeping winds and
good, well drained but moist earth to
grow in and don't try to cultivate them
in lime charged soil. Don't plant them
beside large. coarse growing trees whose
roots would rob the shrubs.
We plant rhododendrons at any time
from August till May. providing the
ground is faigly moist. After planting
we mulch the ground with old forest
tree leaves with a sprinkling of sedge
over them to keep the leaves from blow
ing away. 1t matters little whether the
shrubs face east, west, north or south

Feed for Work Horses

Ample preparations should be made
for green food for them. \ plot of
clover or rye or orchard grass should
be always laid out for the early
spring feeding. A stock of bran should
be especially provided for the season
when the old coat is shedding, and a
daily ration of it given through the
summer. 1t has an excellent effect on
the skin and will prevent that frequent
irritation which so annoys the animals
ut this season after winters feeding of
corn. A mash of bran and linseed, two
quarts of each, lightly salted and sweet
ened with sugar or molasses, win be
most useful. and the grateful whinny
with which the horse will receive this
luxury will tell as eloquently US words
might how it is appreciated by him.
