Pots for Growing Plants.

These need TO be selected with as
much care as vases for flowers. Flow
ering plants look best in jardiniers
that are without decoration, and of a
color that will contrast pleasantly with
the green of the plant and the color of
the blossoms. All varieties of palms
look well in decorated jars, especially
in those that have Egyptian or Japa-
nese decorations. They are also always
pleasant to the eve in most colors of
the Leeds potteries. A palm that
always looks in the right is an in
expensive Leeds jar that looks
like a great golden melon, fiecked
with a deeper gold. Another
fiowerless plant with long leaves of
green edged with white. in the same
jardiniere that has green band and a
Japanese-like spray of green and pink.
A marguerite in blossom seems at it's
best in light-blue jar.

WEDNESDAY. Feb. 2l.-In the senate
the Hawaiian resolution was further
discussed after a lively debate be-
tween several members on the tariff
question. In the house Mr. Bland again
failed to secure a quorum on his mo-
ticn for vote on the seigniorage bill,
and after four hours of fruitless roll
calls the house adjourned.

relations between the United States
and Canada and one to repeal that
part of the act of 1878 which author
lies the secretary of the treasury TO IS

out of the wholesale arrest of members
for being absent led TO disorder and
tumult, which. after continuing for
hours, was suddenly terminated in an
adjournment
FRIDAY, Feb. 23. = There was no
session in the senate. In the house
the members under arrest were finally
discharged from custody by dispensing
with further proceedings under the call.
Mr.. Bland, in another futile effort to
secure a vote on the silver seigniorage
bill, called the filibusters anarchists,
and said: I'VE were sent here to do our
duty, and time when the cities are
thronged with mobs and the people
is not the time when mob law should
obtain here" At the evening session
to consider pensions the lack of a quo
rum prevented the transaction of any

SATURDAY. Feb. 24.-There was no
sessi n in the senate. In the house
roll call followed roll call, the oppo-
nents of the seigniorage bill throwing
aside all pretense of not filibustering
and boldly injecting motions to take a
recess and to adjourn in order to pre-
vent a vote on Mr.. BANDS motion.
Finally Mr.. Bland said: at is quite
kAAdl AAlC nave COb-
troll over this country and |. therefore,
move that the house adjourn" The
motion prevailed.
MONDAY, Feb. 90 In the senate
the committee on foreign relations
presented the report of its investigation
of Hawaiian affairs. The report de-
clares emphatically against monarch
ism; supports Minister Stevens recog-
milton of the provisional government,
but disavows the protectorate; favors
annexation without making any direct
recommendation: condemns Queen Lii
iuokalani and finds that she was the
aggressor in the revolution that Sc
cured her overthrow. In the house
Mr.. Bland, being unable to secure a
quorum on the se!gniorage bill. con-
cluded to allow the debate on the bill
to proceed for another day.

TO the Poultry.
The flavor of eggs depends very much
on the kind of food given To the pOul-
try. When hens are fed largely or al
most exclusively on milk the yolk is
lighter in color. the white has milky
look. and the whole egg IS watery and
less firm in texture than those laid by
granted hens. The taste of the egg is
also affected, being insipid and unsatis-

less fine for ordinary cooking purposes

the idea of the quality of the eggs he

fact that the eggs of fowls kept in the

Systematic Methods Is the Keystone to

The past season has impressed upon

that brings chickens up on the free

tails no little anguish of soul and body,
and that results in the loss of no small
number of chickens. The placing of
individual broOds in boxes and barrels

are little. but as they outgrow their
small quarters and an attempt is made
to transfer them to new quarters, then
the trouble begins. and a chickens OBJ

haunting the region of the old coop,
