How to Grow Aquatic Plants.

The cultivation of aquatic plants in tubs
makes 1t possible for any one to try his
skill with them. OF course he need not
expect to be able to grow the rarer sorts OF
nymphna, but he can succeed with many
beautiful varieties of water lily and other
plants Of that class. A half barrel is not
very attractive In itself, but its lack OF
beauty may be concealed by plants, or 1t
may be sunk its depth in tho earth. When
1t contains fine specimen Of some aquatic
plant, we will forget all about it's lack of
grace. When preparing for these plants,
put in rich black mud from the bed of
streams or muck from swamps to the
depth of foot; then plant your roots in it
and fill with water. Add enough water
from time to time to make up for that
which is lost by evaporation and give the
tuba sunny place in the yard or garden.
If you want to grow more plants than one
tub will accommodate, it is good plan to
take four, five, six, or as many as you may
decide on, and have them sunk in the
ground close together, SO that the general
effect will be something like that which a
large tank would give. A better plan,
though more expensive one to carry out,
Is to have tank constructed OF heavy
planks These should be securely bolted
at the ends and the joints made tight by
white lead in the grooves.-Ladies' Home

LONpON'S PUBLIC HOUSES.
Women Drink at the Bar Just as Uncon-
cerncdly ~ tho Men.


cerncdly ~ tho Men.
The two parishes of Bcthnal Green and
Shoreditch have few churches and ten
times as many public houses. The public
houses explain great many of tho miser-
les of the miserable locality. There may be
some teetotalers there, but there are not
many, and there are almost as few drink
ers who are always moderate in their liba-
tions. The curse of bitter beer, raw SCOTCH
whisky and "tupenny" gin rests heavy
on the place. Public opinion is no weapon
against 1t, for public opinion openly favors
drinking whenever one has the necessary
money and does not regard actual drunk
enness as disgrace worth mentioning.
Women drink at the bars as uncon-
cernedly as men do, and barmaids serve
them. The barroom is the gossip place,
and babes ard small children are carried
to 1t and Kept in it by careful mothers
who gather there for the days necessary
talk. Infants sometimes cry and ut such
times are permitted a sip from the ma
ternal glass, quite as other children are
bribed with chocolate drops. Thus blear
eyes and drink Redeemed faces often have
early beginnings. The children on the
streets are dirty, ragged and vociferously
happy over small things. Adults are not
genuinely happy. There is no reason why
they should be. They derive much spas
modio merriment from the public houses
Drunkenness and fighting are common
everywhere, especially on the streets. Dur
ing one noon recess I saw three fights de-
velop among the two dozen employees Of q
box factory. Nor are the combatants al
ways men or boys.-Edward Marshall In

DEATH IN BALLONA HARBOR
Joe PasquaI, Proprietor of the PoIIiwog,
Was Drowned Yesterday
Attempting to Swim the channei-The
Body Not Yet Recovered

1t was yesterday afternoon reported to
the coroner that Joe Pasqual. an Italian
about 45 years of age, and who is well
Known to Sportsmen and hunters. had
been drowned in the old harbor at Ball
ona. PasQual has of late been running
sort of restaurant in an abandoned
house or hunting boat called the Polli
wog, pulled up on the shore of the island
in the upper northern end of the harbor.
When the tide is in there is from six to
ten feet inside the breakwater but at ebb
one can walk clear across from the island
to the ocean side. The bay or harbor is
completely landlocked except in one mar
row channel, through which the water
rushes with great force at each tide. Joe
kept a boat or two with which to ferry
over to his place any prospective cuSto-
mers who might happen along the beach
rfom Santa Monica and it was in trying
to reach one of these that he lost his life.
Yesterday morning when the tide was
running out Pasqual attempted to swim
across from his houseboat to the oppo
site side of the channel to reach his boat.
which had been left tied on that side
and could not be brought back at low
water. Near the end of the island and
the bar, as it is called, is a deep hole
where the dredger formerly worked
when the harbor was thing to be. 1t
SENS that Pasqual must have been
drawn by the force of the tide into an
eddy near this hole or been seized with a
Cramp, for he suddenly disappeared
and was not again seen.
A close lookout for the body was kept
all day. but when the tide ran out 1t was
not to be found, and was probably swept
out into the ocean. which may not give
up its dead for days or even weeks. Pas
Gual formerly ran a little place in old
Santa Monica canyon, but has lately
catered to the fishermen and hunters
who happen along that lonely beach.

of his death will be heard with regret

details:
During the past year and under the
greatest financial depression we have
experienced since the beginning of the
construction of the road. work has
steadily progressed until now we have
reached point where visitors more than

road an earning capacity sufficient to
insure it's success beyond question, and
from present indications the increase
will be such from year to year as to
give large surplus beyond interest and
expenses.
