multiply in numbers and lose no vitality

like blades put up soon after planting, but
the blooming stalks are late in appearing;
but soon after the stalk follow the bud and
bloom, and such is the nature of the Free

Towering. They are sure, if slow,to bloom,
and last a long time when once Towering
begins.

Care of House Plants.

House plants should be kept clean. Pick
off all decaying leaves and remove any
petals that fall upon the leaves lest they
rot spots in them. If any green fly makes
its appearance bring the plants out to the
kitchen sink and give them a good washing,
keeping them on their sides to prevent the
soil in the pots getting saturated. Nip the
points out of geraniums or other plants
that are apt to grow spindly. When you
water the plants give them enough to per-
meate the whole Of the soil in the pot; con-

tom may be dangerously dry .-Exchapge

A Strange Vine.


A year ago I bought of a Jacksonville
florist little vine which attracted my at
tention by its oddly and beauty. 1t was
then about six inches long and had three
or four leaves, heart-shaped, three inches
long and half as broad, smooth and
shining and striped, with dark green and
light lemon color
We planted it in a ten-inch pot, and
having no trellis for it stuck sticks around
the edge of the pot. The vine then began
the business of its life and like Mr.. Fin
ney's turnip, cit grew and grew and grew
winding in and out through the sticks I'M
til they were covered, each new leaf being
larger and more brilliantly colored than its
predecessor. Having outgrown the sticks
it started up the wall of the house. The
under side of the stem was covered with
short. aerial rootlets standing out like the
legs of a centipede, which I supposed
would cling to the boards, but they did not.
And now comes the funny part When
the vine had grown to be about four feet
long, from the base of some of the leaves
here began to grow long. smooth, brown
thing that looked as much like a fishworm
Il mean the old-fashioned fishworms we
had in the Elysian fields of Ohio and
about as large around as small penholder.
Some of these have grown down, limp and
apparently useless, to a length of six feet
and are still growing. Others cling for
the whole of their length as closely to the
side of the house as If they we're a part of
it, but without any visible means of sup
port. Wherever the ends of the feelers
touch the earth in pot they take root, but
never spread or make new plants I have
an idea that if the vines were planted in the
open ground it would walk on these like
banyan tree. But I don't know. 1t is
now eight feet long, the last leaves twelve
inches long and eight wide, and looks like
as if it might be an overgrown tradescan
tia but I don't know that either. Can any
one enlighten me?

directions for cultivation.
Winter blooming Oxalis are all bulbs of
the easiest culture, fourishing here on the
piazza or in the windows of the living
room, requiring very little care and produc-
ing their bright flowers for months in sue
cession. They are particularly valuable
for growing in hanging pots and vases,
which show off their flowers and habits of
growth to the best advantage. The most
of them will also flourish and flower freely
in north window, where S few plants
succeed. Several bulbs may be planted in
one pot, like the Freesia, and they will
commence Towering very soon after the
first leaves appear, continuing to flower
profusely all winter long They are i'm
mensely popular with all flower cutivators
who are acquainted with their merits, and
it is very doubtful if there is any other
class of bulbs costing so small an amount
of money that will produce such profu-
sion of brilliant and beautiful flowers dur
ing the winter months
Oxalis lutea major is, perhaps, the most
ering varieties. 1t produces in the great
est profusion large terminal clusters of
golden yellow flowers, on long, slender
scapes. 1t throws up an abundance of
healthy, vigorous foliage, and the number
of flowers it will produce during one win
ter is almost incredible. One bulb in a
pot or box, holding from pint to quart
of soil, will produce thick, oval mass of
foliage and flowers nearly foot in diam
eter, end the large clusters of bright yell
low flowers will light up the window or
piazza wonderfully.
For stately grandeur, purity and exqui-
site beauty the Bermuda Easter Lily is un-
surpassed among the numerous members
of its family Each bulb sends up stem
from one to three or more feet in height,
clothed with lance-shaped leaves and sur
mounted by from one to several large
trumpet-formed lilies of snowy whiteness,
waxen texture and delicious fragrance. A
single bulb should have pot or box hold
ing at least gallon of soil, and five or six
bulbs may be set together in tub made
by saving flour barrel in two and boring
holes in the bottom to insure perfect drain
age. Use soil of good quality and cover
the bulbs about two inches deep. If ma
nure is used in the soil. it must be old
and thoroughly decayed-fresh manure
should not be used under any considera-
ton. After growth has we'll begun fire.
quent doses of liquid manure will be very
beneficial, and the soil should not be
allowed to get dry at any time. When
growth is once we'll under way, a good deal
of water may be given, but the drainage
must be perfect and at no time must the
soil become sodden. The pot or tub may
be set on the front edge of the piazza, in
an angle of the house, or under tree, or
in some other partial y shaded or protected
position; and if frost threatens be removed
to the house or otherwise protected.

THE PRICE OF BEEF
Kept Up for Speculative Purposes by
the Chicago Packers.
Otherwise Why Should Beef be Up and the
Price Of Cattle Down?

Washington, April 1y.-Secretary Nor
ton, when interviewed in regard to the
dispatches received from Chicago stating
that his agitation on the subject Of high
prices had led to reduced consumption
of beef and break In the markets for
live stock, said that so far as he had
learned, there had been no break in the
price of beef.
Notwithstanding the smaller receipts of
cattle during two OF three months, the
market at Chicago is reported dull and
weak, and it is difficult for shippers to
obtain market quotations for their cattle.
Quotations on the animals recently ad
vanced from half to three-quarters of a
cent per pound, and it Is not easy for the
producer to obtain higher prices. He
added:
''If the supply and demand Is the only in
fluence which Is being exerted, why should
the price of beef continue high and the
price of cattle he suddenly lowered9 1t is
now stated that Chicago and other slaugh-
tering points will soon have all the cattle
needed, and the result will be that the price
of beef will tumble.
''Not long since the large packers were
claiming that the price of hides was un-
remunerative in this country, owing to the
competition with hides imported from
other countries. but with the falling off

was great deal of jabbing on Dobbs'
part. Dobbs seemed to want but little
excuse for going to the floor. He averaged
at least two falls in each round.
In tho fourth O. Brien knocked Dobbs
through the ropes with a left uppercut,
and later knocked him down with kid
ney blow From then Dobs resorted to
clinching and frequent falls to avoid
punishment
In the sixth Dobbs made slight rally
and brought blood from O'Brien's nose.
In the eighth he also made a good front,

nose In tho last few rounds, Dobbs went
down with unpleasant frequency. In the
18th he was nearly knocked out, only

gusted with Dobbs actions, and. it being
evident that O Brien was much the bet
ter man, the latter was awarded the fight.
