CARING FOR HOUSE PLANTS.
A few Suggestions as to How They Ca

A few Suggestions as to How They Can
 Be Made to Do We'll.
 Tn order to have the best success in growing house plants for the windows in winter, the first thing is good, heal thv plants, free from insects. People often fail to revive a sickly plant. The aim should be to get soil from the florist or from a pasture. It matters not whether 1t be a geranium or palm, the best of care is necessary for success. Nothing is more beautiful than a win dow filled with fine towering plants in midwinter. but to have a lot of plants three feet high, not leaf on them, IS not inviting, and they require as much care as the healthy plants.
 The practice of most plant buyers is to get them of the florist in the spring, plant them in the garden, and let them grow all summer When the first frost comes they will lift the large plants full of bud and bloom, out Of the ground and pot them In a. few days the plants begin to lose their foliage and wilt. The best way to do is to cut away about two-thirds of the plant and make them start new roots and new growth, though it puts off Towering fol some time. The best way to have good i house plants is to buy what are wantedil 1T

law. They have accepted, too, though
 not without murmuring, the order of precedence which places them after the younger sons of the lowest grade of peers, and might have remained con- tented with their humble lot had it not been for the recent royal order, which puts over their heads the sons of mere life peers. But that rankles, and lest worse should befall thenl-say their su- bordination to knights grand cross or | knights commanders of the orders of chivalry-they are, metaphorically, arming themselves for the fray. To ] this end several of them have arranged I to meet privately in London early next month, on the invitation of one of their number, to discuss questions affecting the order, after which a, circular will be submitted to every oaronet recommend | ing the lines on which representative committee shall be formed.-London Chronicle

ROYAL MATCHMAKING.

The Remarkable Success in That Line
 of Queen Louise of Denmark.
 Denmark is a small country, which does not have large part in the worlds affairs; but it's court is an im- portant one, by reason of it's marriage alliances and the personal influence of the King and Queen. Whenever there is, court ball at Copenhagen, one of the liveliest dancers is King Christian K, who is still young at heart, al- though close to his eightieth year. His wife Queen Louise, is his senior by several months, and has ceased to dance in the royal quardrilles. She has been one of the most successful match makers in Europe, and still takes keen interest in this royal sport.
 For her eldest son, the Crown Prince, the Queen found a suitable partner nearly thirty years ago in Princess Louisa daughter of the King of Swed- }en and Norway. Her oldest daughter became the Princess of Wales, and her second daughter the wife of Alexander IT., and mother of the present Czar of Russia.
 
 King of Greece, married Russian Grand Duchess. With one grandson on the Russian throne, and another, the duke of York, destined to reign in England, ,,and with two other grandsons heirs to the crowns of Denmark and Greece, Queen Louise may be described as the grandmother of four Emperors and Kings.
 Two other marriages this adroit matchmaker has arranged. Her third son, Prince Waldemar, married Prin- cess Marie d'Orleans, daughter of the Due de Chartres, and her third daugh- ter became the wife of the Duke of Cumberland, a great-grandson of George III. of England, who might have been King of England if Queen Vic toria had died in her girlhood.
 These were marriages which brought great fortunes in the Danish family, for the Orleans Princess was an heiress and the Duke of Cumberland was also ricr
 Queen Louise, having married off all her children with marked success. has begun to arrange a new series of al- dances for her grandchildren. Her theory has been that the reigning house of a feeble country like Denmark can be converted into a center of influence in Europe by discreet, but ambitious mar riages. She acted upon this principle when she advised her grandson, the Crown Prince of Greece, to marry sis ter of the German Emperor
 The Queen is not only match-makel but also a woman of great force oi character and a good mind. Her in fluence has been felt in the family councils throughout Europe The latt Czar and the present Emperor Of Rus.

May, put in good sized pots, ana plunge
 the pots in the earth. See that good
 drainage is obtained, put small board
 on the bottom to keep out the worms,
 and about every two weeks turn
 around to keep the roots from going through the bottom of pot. Keep well watered through the summer and by fall you will have fine plants that will
 produce more flowers than half dozen poor ones. The best plants for flower ing in winter are geraniums, Chlnese prnimroses, calla cyclamens, clnerarla carnations, Easter lilies, liliumo treeslas, begonias, and many others.
 Insects should never be seen on plants. Regular use of tobacco smoke at least twice each week will drive them away, The red spider often does much mischief before he is discovered. A dry, | hot atmosphere favors his production. | To prevent him keep the plants moist and syringe them. Bulbs. ferns l palms. &c.. make good plants for home | culture. Most house plants do well in an average temperature of not more than 50 degrees at night, with 20 or 25 | degrees higher in the day time. Plants 1 are often put in the cellar for the winter. They will live but not make
 as good a plant as a cutting rooted in l March. We have to watch them closely 1 in the greenhouse. If men in the
 florist business could raise plants by
 putting them under a bench in the 1 winter they would get rich in few
 years. Towering plants need the best sunlight while foliage plants will thrive
 without the bright sun. Plants should I not be put up too high in a room, for the air is too hot and dry there.-Utica | Daily Press.

AN OFFER FROM SPAIN.

1t Will Probably be Accepted by This
Government in the Matter of Sending
Supplies to Destitute Americans In Cuba
Washington, May 25.-The resolution
appropriating $4,000 for the relief OF
distressed American citizens in Cuba
reached the White House Monday, just
as soon as it could be sent up after
being signed in both houses while they
were in open session. The president
signed the resolution Immediately.
The president, on the suggestion Of
Secretary Alger, is considering the
plan of assigning an officer from the
commissary department of the regular
army to take charge of the assembling
of relief supplies for Americans in
Cuba. This department is trained in
the handling of supplies, and has ad-
vantages in contracting for large guam
titles of necessaries.
Through the good Offices of the Span
ish government it is probable that in
the event that it is decided to send food
supplies to Cuba in addition to the re.
mittances of money, our government
will be able to send much more than
would be the case if duty was exacted
upon the goods imported. An intima
tion has been given that such supplies
will be admitted duty free. The inn
