When and Where to Make Them and
 How to Care For Them.
 The months of February and March and the first half of April are best for roofing cuttings of carnations, roses, chrysanthemums, coleus, verbenas and others of similar nature.
 A cutting may be regarded as a plant deprived of its roots. and while engaged in the process of replacing them it must be kept moist and at the temperature congenial to its healthy growth. A lit- tie diffused light is needed. It is usual to construct the cutting bench on the north side of the greenhouse and parti- tion it of from the other side in order to keep the air moro close and damp than is needed for the growth of the es- tablished plants, which delight in full sunshine and plenty of air.
 The best material in which to plant the cuttings is rather coarse, clean sand or the porous fiber of the cocoanut. The object is to keep the cuttings damp. with some access of air to their lower ends through the porous nature of the sand or fiber. Ths cutting bench should be watered daily in order to keep it moist, and the temperature must be carefully adjusted to the nature of the plants to be rooted. Hardy roses, yerbenas and carnations root best in a temperature of 50 to 55 degrees. while the cuttings of colcus, tea roses, fuchSias and many oth- CT tropical plants do better in tempera- ture of ten degrees higher. It is better to have the temperature of the sand five de- grees warmer than the air above the bed in order to stimulate the growth of the roots. This bottom heat, as gardeners call 1t. is obtained by carrying hot water or steam p;2es under the bed and inclos- ing them with sheathing boards, or where cheaper temporary bed is want cd by heat of fermenting horse ma nure, six or ten inches deep, covered with an inch of dry leaves, on which six inches of sand are placed. This heat will cause a temperature of 90 to 100 degrees at first, gradually subsiding to 70 de- grees and less. and needs watching at first to avoid roasting the cuttings.
 Where a small bed is wanted for cut tings in a common greenhouse where the air is too dry it can be obtained by covering box of sand with movable sashes or panes of glass, and if the tenn peraturo of the house is too cool the box of sand can be warmed by placing a lamp under it with suitnble rcScauIIums against 2-a.

England and has been printed in Ger. many in both German and English. Two other novels, "A Conflict of Evi. dence" and "The Modern Wizard" fol lowed quickly and have rivaled the sue. cess of the first story.
 Mir. Robert Barr, tho editor of the London Idler, was so pleased with "An Artist In Crime" that he wrote to the author offering fiattering terms for a series of short stories to run in his magazine 0 year or longer. The offer was accepted, and the series will be pub lished simultaneously in this country, so that it is fair to assume that this new name to American fiction will soon be we'll known on both sides of the At. lantic.
 Mir Ottolengui was born in Charles. ton, S. C., and is 33 years of age. By occupation he is a dentist. He began early to contribute short stories to the local papers. Going to New York tc study his profession, his literary aspira. and indeed before attempting romance again he wrote many essays in connec tion with his profession.
 Thus when MT. Ottolengui took ur fiction he had the advantage of a we'll trained pen, for writers of science must use very exact terms in expressing their views On this point he is most partiou- lar. He argues that a writer should thoroughly understand the fundamental rudiments of his calling, and he bewails the fact that many writers of the day constantly fall into grieyous errors of English. He is therefore excessively particular with his manuscript. His method is to write out his story or novel, using a typewriter, and to complete it without reading it over. Then the whole is entirely rewritten, errors of style. composition and grammar being correct. ed as far as possible. This second copy is then revised, corrected and properly punctuated, when his secretary makes a clean typewritten copy, Finally Mir. Ottolengui reads proof in galley. and "plate, and having thus been over his work five times he argues that no one should expect him to read it again after publication.
 ''I enjoy reading detective stories. says Mir. 0ttolongui, "because it sharp. ems my wits It lis like solving chess prob lems The analytical powers of the brain are developed. Therefore properly con- structed detective story, free from pruri- sney. is wholesome reading.

It is sad to cost SIS. 900 daily to main- tain the militia in Brooklyn. but that doesn't begin to measure the cost of the strike. now apparently drawing to an end. All kinds of business in Brooklyn must have been more or less paralyzed for the last few days. Some of the local mer- chants declare that their receipts have fallen off 50 per cent. How much wage earners have suffered by loss of time caused by the interruption of trolley transportation service will never be known. Each day that the strike con- tinues Brooklyn is practically squandering an immense fortune. As is usually the case, too, in such industrial disturbances. the chief losers are innocent persons

 All through dinner Mrs. Bitterswees had felt that something was coming, so she was not surprised when, on leaving the table her husband remarked:

AS AN INDIAN PRINCE.
'tThe Harlem Coffee Cooler" Is
 the Lion of London.
SEVENTEEN SUITS OF CLOTHES.

The Coolers Wardrobe Is Very Extensive.
 He Wears a Diamond Big as "a Loco
 motive Headlight and Has vnlet-HoW
 He Gained His Queer Sobriquet.
 The pugilistic lion of tho hour in Lon don is the colorcd boxer, Frank Craig, "The Harlem Coffee Cooler, who poses as an Indian prince, who is to marry white heiress, it is said, an who professes to be anxious to meet Peter Jackson in the arena. Craig whipped Ted Pritchard, the English champion, with surprising case and is now matched to battle with that good old has been," Frank P. Slavin, whom middleweight Jim Hall knocked out in seven rounds. According to his late manager, Professor Dennis Butler, Craig is the greatest swell in London. He ayers that during tho first week of his stay in the British metropolis Craig ordered l7 suits of clothes, Overcoats, half dozen hats, Q fancy waistcoats, 50 haring era vats. s boxes of gloves, many suits of silk and lambs wool underwear, silk half hose, and purchased all the walking sticks with alligators' heads on them he could find on Fleet street.
 When he speaks of Craig, Butler waxes eloquent What want to do is to warn young men against jumping suddenly into prominence. It's no good" he said to New York World reporter. Just take, fol example, the Coolers case. He used to be a modest, well behaved fellow. Gracious alive, look at him nowp' and Butler, hold. ing his hands in the air, shook his head several times. Its Q sight to sec him. You couldn [ hand him a ripe peach on gold plato now unless you had six pairs of gloves on.
 "Just imagine Craig posing as an h. dian princel I stood everything until be sprung that story and announced his en- gagement to a young English heiress. When he ordered the l9 suits of clothes and enough haberdashings, or whatever you call 'eln, to start n wholesale house. made no protest. And I didn't kick either when he hired n valet and made him do the work of four valets, but this Indian prince story was the straw which settled the combination.
 ''He has a different silk hat for every kind of fog and diamond that some duke gave him, which looks like the headlight of locomotive, but he's no Indian prince.

Chesterfield and tn. vAlis System.

Chosterneld and the Walls System.
 1t will be remembered that in the days of the great Lord Chesterfield vails in London had reached such pitch that it cost @ man of position 5 or 10 guineas merely to dine out. As he left the house he had to run the Rantlet of the butler and undexbutiers and half Q dozen footmen. One handed him his cane, one his hat. another his gloves, Q fourth his coat, and so on. and SO on, each expect ing Q crown in acknowledgment of his services. Lord Chesterfield saw that so- cial intercourse was being ruined, call ed Q meeting of the chief people in the world of fashion and got them to agree to give nothing to the servants when they dined out It is true he was nearly lynched by n mob of irate footmen. but he carried his point.
 It is said that at the present moment there is tendency to revive the odious custom thus put down by Lord Chester field, and that the ma5her has begun to tip the men who put him into his great coat after dinner. If that is so, Q clear case exists for Q common agreement not to allow the infection to spread. Dining out would become more intolerable burden than it is already if it also were complicated by the question, "What is the least can giva without locking msan?''--Natisnai Review.

 Since Prince F. Napoleon Craig began to i'll such conspicuous place in the public eye on the other side considerable controversy has arisen as to the origin of his sobriquet. The Harlem Coffee Cool. CT" The World declares that Craig one day volunteered tho following explana- ton:
 "Oh, yo' mean whar did dc app'lashum t my name como from. It was de 'casion ob my debew in de ring. I wax t fight Yamen Fisher to O finish, an, aldough I'd had seberal fights befo'. dis was de fust real match. Prev osly hel aloof fun givin out my real name.

Doan' know why sed 1t, but ennyhow dat name's a follered me since den."
 Macon Mccormick, the well known sporting writer. has different version. Craig" he says, "got his sobriquet of The Harlem Coffee Cooler in Johnny Clark's p-:ace of pugilism, corner of Eighth and Vine streets, New York, and Denny Butler gave him his peculiar title. In the days of the late unpleasantness, . O bad soldier was thought unit for any thing but cooling coffee, and then 1t was a term of derision but a degree above that of camp follower. The black fighter, who is now dazzling London with the splendor of his raiment, went to ClArk's with little or no reputation, and being from the upper part of this city Butler, with that linguistic aptness for which hs is so celebrated, thinking that he was N. G., christened him The Harlem Coffee Cooler The title stuck, but by and by Denny found that there was good stun in Craig, and he undertook to develop him. He succeeded fairly well. though Joe But Ter twice made Craig cry 'peccavi,' and Peter Maher put him to sleep In short or der
