CUPID IN CHURCH CHOlRS.

Anhnities Are Speedily Discovered There,
and MatriMony Soon Results.
A man who sings tenor in q church
on Michigan avenue said the other day
he knew of at least half dozen serious
affairs Of the heart in progress in as
many choirs on the South Side.
II believe" he added. THAT if sta.
tistics were obtainable on the subject
it would be found that of single people
who Join church choirs a larger proper
ton get married within q year than
among an equal number of young peO-
pie that might be selected anywhere
else. A possible exception might be
made of the operatic stage Singing,
even if 1t is about things celestial, sets

apt to be found in the congregation. If
a woman has sweet voice. q face to

The same principle applies to hand

Sometimes there are sharp rivalries

ever in real life come a tragedy out of
such q set of conditions as we are told
happened in the case of lovely Anna,

POINTS IN POTATO CULTURE.

The Treatment Of the Seed Big Factor
In Earliness, Sixe and Quantity.
The weak point in the management
Of the average potato grower is the seed.
Fully nine.tenths Of all the potatoes
which people plant are unfit for seed
purposes. A tuber which is in its prime
for the table is also in its prime for
seed. 1t should be fresh and plump and
all eyes dormant. Such potatoes are
not found in the inside of big heap
or bin in ordinary house cellar at this
season of the year. Those that we now
dig out of the middle Of the bin look
somewhat like the specimen shown at
No. 1. Often we find much, longer
sprouts. The energy put into this new
growth has surely weakened the potato
for seed. A large number of eyes have
become active and will remain active,
no matter whether the sprouts already
started are left to grow or are rubbed
off by accident or design. The sure re-

suit is a large number Of sprouts, a
weak, spindling growth of all and q
large number of small potatoes in the
hill.
The plant shown at No. in the Sec
ond cut gives an illustration of this
fact. A writer for American Gardening
says in this connections:
The kind Of seed wish to plant is
shown at No. in the first cut and the
resulting crop at No. in the second
cut. To secure such seed we spread the
potatoes, long before they have had a
chance to start into growth, under the
benches in the greenhouse or in light
frostproof garrett in single layer or at
most two high. A portion Of our Ohios
and Freemans are placed in shallow
fats, seed end up, as shown at Fig. 8.
Gradually under the influence Of light
and warmth shoot as stout as ones
little finger appears on the seed end Of
the tuber. This q little later is sur
mounted by a crown Of leaflets, while
rootlets begin to start from its base. In
early spring when the ground is ready
for planting the sets are carefully re-
moved and placed in the ground, scrupu-
lousy avoiding injury to the shoots.
Growth follows with marvellous rapid
ty, none of tho pristine vigor Of the tu-
Der having been wasted.
The size of seed pieces is decided by
variety, condition and price of seed.
Whole tubers, if treated as previously
set forth, will seldom produce more
stalks than cut seed. invariably plant
whole tubers of Early Ohio if of me-
dunn size or less, and cut them in
halves if large. The variety rarely pro.

duces more than three or four stalks,
even when we plant very large whole
potatoes. The Freeman, on the other
hand, inclines to the extreme in this d.
rection unless seed is carefully treated
on the suggested lines. Usually we pre-
fer to cut seed quite close, as we also do
in case of high priced new varieties.
Early potatoes are treat on the farm,
and the market grower, of course, is no
less anxious to get them early than he is
to secure good yield, for the price is
greatly Influenced by their earliness
Nobody would like to miss a chance, if
any such exists, to force the crop lit
tie in advance Of its natural season
Judicious treatment of seed gives US the
key to the situation and indeed the key
to success in potato growing.

n delightful paper J ohm Habberton
speaks Of his winter bulb garden. for
which he annually prepares about this
time Of year. He moved out Of the city
and into the country partly that he
might have windows on all four sides Of
his house. It is reason enough for move
ing into the country. p, n. si .s..2ll
Having the house in the country, with
ito windows, Habberton proceeded to AL
such as were not needed for ventilatio1
with Holland bulbs. He buys unnamed,
mixtures Of the bulbs at % to IS hun
dred. It is we'll to give the orders tor
sthem early in the summer, or even In
the late spring. In September he begins
to plant. One set sprouts up green,
buds, blossoms, fills the house with per-
fume and dies down. BY that time IN.
other set is bursting into bloom, and
the old ones are laid aside to rest. A
third of the stock is planted in Septem-
Der. another third at Thanksgiving and
the last at the beginning of the year.
The culture of the bulbs is ridiculous
" easy. They need only to be potted in
good soil and watered plentifully after
ward. Then put them in 1.-The darkest,
coolest corner Of the cellar and give
them large drink once week" When
the green cone of the bulb is about two
inches high, bring them into the light
and keep them in cool place, where
there is no danger of their being chilled
or frozen. The flowers from each plant
ing will last six weeks Habberton
grows eloquent over the glory and per-
fume with which they fill the humblest
house.
Just the plain narcissus, hyacintht and
tulip give the most for the money: The
lively author warns readers against be-
ing bamboozled into buying so called
rare bulbs at extravaganza prices from
fashionable florists. His own particular
favorite il \ narcissus Of the jonquil va
riety, which bears the ''good old Chau-
oerian, Spenserian name Of campernel"
One bulb sometimes sends up as many
as six blossoms, fragrant as q carnation,
and of a yellow so radiant that it fills
the room with glory: 1t iswell that. the
old foolish prejudice against yellow
flowers is disappearing. They inspire
with oheerfulness. There is a vividness
about them that is actually luminous,
like the sunlight itself. In this dark,
troubled world we need all the bright
ness we can get, and the yellow color 10

General Grant In Japanese Eyes.

General Grant In Japanese Eyes.
In The Century is printed a transla-
ton Of portions Of quaint Japanese
life of General Grant The following is
an extract from it:
In the spring Of his seventeenth year
he expressed great thought to his
father and addressed him, saying, II
have in my mind the thought that,
when four years from today have passed,
! shall not be doing this kind Of labor: "
The father, thinking it a strange thing,
said: "Do you hate your fathers heredi-
tary trade? Do you hate to become a
leather maker and spend your life thus?
What profession, then, do you expect to
adopt in future? Do you expect to go
into the fields carrying a sickle and a
hoe? Do you expect to sell and buy
things in the market? Or do you fix
your eyeballs upon books Of 10000 vol
umes, and desire to speculate reasons
and promote moralities, and become a
man Of wide knowledge?" Guarando
Kuen, replying to these questions, said /:
"To cultivate the field and become a
farmer is we'll, but to spend the whole
life as hireling is not well. To take a
soroban Counting machine) and become
a merchant and gain profit is we'll, but
along with it to make bad practice is
not my desire. Contrary to all this, our
ancestors, in the war Of independence
of this country, sowed great merit, I
hear. I also, entering military school,
will have to show my arm in the time
Of great things. Oh, Father Kuen, how
is it?' The father, being exceedingly
glad, did as he wished.
