WATER FOR HOUSE PLANTS.
Suggestions That May he Followed
Advantage and Profit.

suggestions That May De Followed to
Advantage and Profit.
Some plants require more moisture
than others, and the cultivator must
study the needs and nature of her nurs-
lings to find this out. But one thing to
be remembered is that a soggy soil that
holds the water long is wholly unfit for
successful plant growing except in the
case of aquatics. The idea is to supply
water which may drain through the
earth rapidly, while yet enough is alb
sorbed to help the plant in its growth.
A healthy Plant needs soil that is well
drained and absorbs the water quickly,
for water supplies fertilizing matter to
the roots by converting the nourishment
from the soil into liquid form which the
roots can absorb more easily.
Never give water when the soil is
moist, but wait until it is dry. Do not
imagine that albig dose of water is al
ways the remedy when the plants wither
or have insects on them. Many a poor
flower has been drowned. Be- careful,
too, that water does not stand in the
saucers or boxes under the plants. This
will cause mold and sogginess and will
weaken if not rot away the roots,
Cold water is chilling to tender house
plants, and the best rule is to use that
which is warm to the hands. Rainwater
is supposed to contain ammonia and is
better than well water. If hard water
is all that can be had, add a little soda
to it-a piece the size of a pea to each
gallon-and then add enough boiling
water to bring the whole to the right
temperature. Boiling water is some
times used successfully, but it is rather
risky. Water at from rs to $50 degrees
is warm enough for ordinary use. Never
wet merely the top surface of a potted
plant, but moisten the whole ball of
earth. If the earth has become hard and
dry, set the whole pot into a pail of warm
water till it is soaked through.
The morning is the best time to water
plants-the earlier the better. No water
should be given plants when the hot sun
is pouring down upon them. If a plant
must be watered, then remove it first to
a shady place, for the hot sun simply
bakes the plant roots before they can
have q chance to drink up the moisture.
Plants in bloom require more water than
at other times, and failure to supply it
at this time greatly impairs the size,
brilliancy and lasting quality of the bios

hummer now when the dressmakers and
seamstresses are not busy. The prettiest
little organdie gowns are made with q
low necked, short wasted bodice, about
which is gathered a full rufle, edged
with lace, and falling low enough to en-
tirely conceal the waist. The little skirt
is gathered and finished with a plain hem
or with a little frill.
A pretty model for a cashmere dress
has a pointed capelike ruf1e, gathered
from the neck and falling quite to the
belt in the front and at the back. The
rufie is finished on the edge with a seal
lop embroidered by hand and having
rows of dots worked in following the
outline of the scallop. Another pretty
idea is a gathered waist of wool, belted
with many straps of velvet and worn
over a white embroidered guimpe. The
gown of soft fawn challie, with green
leaves and tiny f1owerets, has its trim
ming of thin velvet, " a plain blue wool,
light, is made stylish with a decoration
of brown velvet.
Another pretty idea for a chalie is
| copied from a dressy little frock of yell
low bengaline. The skirt is plain. The
waist Is shirred at the front and back,
leaving a standing rufle of the goods.
About the waist is a broad belt made Of
pipings of bengaline about half an inch
wide, with rows of gold braid between.
This belt does not meet in front OF at
the back, but is finished on either side
the shirred space with two rosettes of
the braid. full rufie gathers over the
shoulder, stopping at the shirring, and is
finished on the edge with the braid.
Baby ribbon in velvet or satin might re-
place the gold on a figured drew, and
matching some color in the material
make a pretty addition to the summer
dress.

ton or OF exclusiveness. There was
a time not many years ago when a
few persons were invited to the 9TH

and placed behind a barrier of receiv-

and they were people who helped to
make Washington unique and pc

savagely, and his office was mobbed, which
caused this correspondence:
| General James H. Lane:
DEAR SIB-When your men attacked me this
morning, I was unarmed. Since then l have
procured two of Colts speaking trumpets"
and propose to use them on any of your men
that come within shooting distance of this Of
fee. Us. MORTON.
Lane at once replied:

men read your article critinising Lanes army

ton they At once conferred with you. I beg to
say they have been court martialed" and in
due time will receive their just punishment,
and in the future you may rest assured that
you and your property will not be molested.
JAMES H. LANE, General.
Mr.. Morton published all this. 1t raised
a great laugh in Washington and led to
his being appointed secretary of the terri
tory by President Buchanan. In the alb
sence of the governor he acted as such, and
thus got the title which has stuck to him
ever since, though he failed of election in
many subsequent campaigns. He was born
April 90, 1882, in Adams, Jefferson county,
| N. Y, and was partially reared and edu-
Gated in Michigan, but was graduated from
Union college. New York. In 1854 he mar
ried Caroline Jay French, and the young
couple soon after located In Nebraska City.
In 1857 he pre-empted the farm now
known as Arbor Lodge. and there their
four sons were born. Mrs. Morton died in
1881. He has served two terms In the legis-
lature and been three times the Democratic
candidate for governor. In 1860 he was de-
clared elected to congress, but before his
term was quite out a contestant was de-
clared entitled toptheseat. He originated
and secured the adoption Of what is called
Arbor day, a holiday for tree planting. He
is an enthusiast on forest culture, also a
radical tariff reformer and hard money

Novel Umbrella Holder.

Quite a foreign looking umbrella hold
er was evolved by an ingenious woman,
who saved and begged from her friends
all the bits Of decorated china she could
secure. Then she got a large tile and
covered it half an inch thick with a layer
of putty. Into this she pressed her bits
of china firmly and as close together as
possible, and when dry she gilded the
little ridges between the pieces. Alarge
pot for a palm was decorated in the same
way. with equally good effect.

Mr.. Herbert rFas born at Laurensville,
S. c., March 10, 1884, his family removing
to Alabama in 1916. After studying at the
universities Of Alabama and Virginia he
read law, and in 1861 entered the Confeder-
ate army as a captain. When wounded at
the battle of the Wilderness, he was a colo
mel. Returning to civil life, he resumed the
practice Of law at Greenville, where he
lived until 1872, when he removed to Mont
gomery, his place of residence from that
time. His experience in congress began
with the Forty-fifth and has been unbroken
until the close of the Fifty-second, rather
an unusual experience and only attained
by a few men of commanding talents. 1t Is
all the more remarkable in his case because
on the silver question and some other mat
tiers his views are opposed to those prev
alent in his section. Yet he has held his
district and by increasing majorities.
1t is of record that he once secured the
passage Of a bill appropriating S2o,00O,OD
after but 20 minutes discussion, such was
his reputation for equal avoidance of the
extreme of parsimony and the extreme OF
extravaganza He is an original tariff re-
former and a practical civil service reform
er, having carried out the principles of that
reform whenever in his power. Personally
he is of medium height and in full physical
| vigor. He wears a mustache and chin whisk-
ers. When he reads, he wears spectacles.
His left arm is a little shorter than his
right. A bullet which he stopped at the
battle of the Wilderness cut an inch or two
| of the bone away just above the elbow.
Heis q widower with a married daugh-
| ter, a younger daughter unmarried il a
son at school. He is also q man of social
nature, with q keen sense Of humor. In
Washington Mr.. Herbert lives at the Met
ropolitan hotel, where many southern sena-
tors and representatives abide. He is fond
of society, and with his daughter goes out
as much as is consistent with the life of a
Woodworking member Of the house.

Mending Linen.

When threads are drawn in new table
linen to keep the hens straight, don't
throw away the drawn threads. Instead
wind them carefully on empty spools.
When your tablecloths or napkins begin
to grow thin, nothing will darn the worn
places so well or SO strongly as the new
