The best Way of Planting Bulbs.

After ordering your bulbs set about
getting compost ready In which to
pot them. AS good soil as any is
one composed of ordinary garden
loan, sand, and well-rotted cow ma
nure In equal parts Mix your CON-
post well, and have it fine and mel
low. 1t is very important that the
manure should be old. Fresh ma
nure is harmful to all Dubious plants,
out or indoors. / should advise the
growing of several bulbs In the same
pot The effect Is more pleasing, he
cause of the greater mass of color In
limited space. Three or four Hy-
acynths, Tulips or Daffodils may be
grown successfully In ten inch pot.
Half dozen Crocuses or Snowdrops
will be required to Gil six inch pot.
Three or four average-size bulbs OF
the Bermuda Lily can be grown In a
ten-inch pot.-Eben K. Rexford In

ization. The ballot for officers for the

championship race.

DESTITUTE PERSONS AIDED
Sanitary Officer Franks Epitome Of
q Years Work.
Cranks and Lunatics Come to Wash
ingtOn From All Parts of the
Country.

Sanitary Officer j. A. Frank. In his
report for the year ended June 80, 1896,
says that cranks and lunatics from all
parts OF the country turn up in Washington
in the course OF a year with numerous
fancied wrongs which they have Travelled
miles to have righted.
At the same time, he says, the figures
demonstrate that the year just closed ex-
cecds any previous year in the number Of
poor, sick, and destitute persons provided
for in the several hospitals and other
charitable institutions.
Persons afflicted with incurable dis
cases." he says, have been sent to this
city from the adjoining States of Virginia
and Maryland to be cared for in our
hospitals. OF the whole number thus
cared for 10 were from Virginia and 1873
from Maryland"
Transportation was furnished to GIG
persons during the year, at an expenditure
of $1,759.74, an increase of 40 in the
number supplied and $23. 1 8 in the amount
expended. In addition, three insane per-
sous were returned under police escort to
their homes or to institutions from which
they had escaped, thus making u total
expenditure Tor transporta ton OF 81 ,S44. "a,
an excess over the previous year OF $94.54
Those who came to the city I'm search OF
work and were stranded numbered 261,
and these We're assisted to their homes.
III tniS connection MT. FRANK states that
1I4 persons were furnished with meals by
the superintendent OF police. as against
14J in the preceding year.
The sum of $500 appropriated for
furnishing transportation to paupers and
prisoners Is deemed to be inadequate.
Mr. Frank expresses regret that arrange
ments for the establishment of all institu-
uon for the treatment OF contagious dis
eases have not been consummated. although
he commends the local institutions FOR
their prompt and efficient care OF such
cases.
There is need. Mr.. Frank says, for an-
other one-hOrse ambulance, aud he recon-
inends that one be appropriated for. This.
he thinks. Will greatly benefit the service,
upon winch there is a growing demand
The number Of persons committed to the
Government Hospital for the Insane last
year was 10 8, u decrease e Of 8 over the
previous year. Nonresident lunatics con.
unue to find their way to the city, some
from remote distances.
The sanitary officer urges the impor.
tance Of providing place Of detention for
the alleged Insane. At present the station.
houses are employed for the purpose, but
they are not the proper places for the
unfortunatcs.
