Chinese Primroses.


ranked high among winter blooming
plants suitable for the house, and in
deed it we'll deserves it's place, for
what is more attractive in the window
than large, full grown specimen
covered with whorls of white, rose or
crimson flowers Sc in it's heavy and
handsome foliage?
While comparatively easyto manage,
some care must be exercised in grow
ing the primrose, in order that as
large plants as possible may be had
by the time the Towering season is at
hand.
The single Chinese Primroses are
grown from seed, which should be
sown in the spring between the first
of March and the latter part of April,
for if not sown until later there is
some danger of the seed not germin-
ating well. To properly sow the seed,
make a box twelve to fourteen inches
square and two and a half inches
Deep (This is what the florist calls a
''fat.") Several holes about half an
inch in diameter should be bored in
the bottom of the box. Over these
holes place small piece of broken
flower pot, this being to provide
drainage.
After this is done run a small guam
tity of ordinary good garden soil
through sieve with fairly fine mesh
es. Fill the fiat box with this sifted
soil to a depth of two inches, then af-
ter smoothing the surface over nicely
water the soil heavily. In the course
of an hour or two, during which time
the soil should be dry somewhat, with
a small piece of board press down
slightly the surface of the soil.
Sow the seed evenly and carefully
on top of the soil, after which pulver-
ize little leaf mold or black bog soil
and sift it with the hands over the
seed. This covering must be very
slight, merely sufficient to cover the
seed. for if IT, is heavier it will be
detrimental to the termination of the
seed.
After this is done place the box in a
light window and lay a piece of wet
paper over the top of the soil. Keep
this paper damp by sprinl1ling it
daily with water. This serves to keep
the seed from drying out. After six
or eight days this paper may be re-
moved and the water applied directly
on the soil.
AS soon as the little plants are
about three-fourths of an inch high
transplant them to another similar
box containing soil of a richer nature
When the seedlings are lifted from
the seed box, allow lump of soil to
the roots; in other words, take up a
small lump of the soil with the plant
in it.
At the end of four or five weeks the
plants should be sufficiently large to
be ported into two-inch pots 1.-TWO
inches in diameter at the top). If by
this time the weather is quite mild
and fair out of doors, plunge the
plants in the pots outside in a cool

in which the grapes are grown has enough iron
ON II to give tone and quality to the wines
which make them, especially the port, . prime
medicinal wine. DIR. james OF the New York
board OF health has given his testimonial to tie
merits Of the Speer port wine:
81 take great pleasure in testifying to the su-
perior qualities OF the port wine produced by
Alfred Speer Of New Jersey. After q prolonE-
ed trial, l recommend it as a superior wine foI
the sick and debiliatcd.'
''The company will allow no wine to leave
its vauls that Is not Of prime quality. Conse
quently there is no such thing as poor wine to
be had, so far rs the Speer product is concern
ed. The wine is kept in casks to a great age
before It is bottled. The vineyard itself is a
great sight. There over three hundred
miles OF vines. There are grape arbors two
miles long.lI I'm the grape season II is wonderful
and beautiful sight one beholds in driving out
to the vineyards. Hundreds OF New Workers
drive to the place to feast their eyes on the
spectacle. Great clusters OF grapes greet the
eye as far rs the sight extends, purple prairie
kissed by the summer sun. In the vaults OF the
company are the very oldest wi nes produced In
this country. The company sells so much oi
its product every year. and no fancy price,
would induce II to break in on n wine which
il did not believe had the right age to give i,
the proper flavor. There is no wine like IL to
be had In the United States.

Wearing Out the President.

1t is given out that the President
is looking pale and wearied. and that
it is evident that he will break down
unless he soon takes another period
of rest. The cause of it is attribut.
ed to the fact that he is besieged at
all hours of the day by office-seekers,
who implors, beseech, beg and
threaten IN order to secure inter.
views, and when they do succeed in
seeing him pour into his ear all Of
their hard luck stories and their
tiresome speeches setting forth their
claims to Office. Just think how
dreadfully tiresoine and wearing
such performance must be. But
when we remember that in the midst
of it all the President has to tran
sact an amount of business, strictly
pertaining to his Office, that requires
all of a mans strength and nerve, we
can well understand why he looks
pale and must seek rest.
He is Mt present almost as much
confined to monotonous round of
toll as the con ,ict in the peniten.
tiary, and he can no more escape it
than the man in stripes. The best
he can do is to surround himself
with guards and Intermediates, who
prevent any rush upon him, and
save him from being torn to pieces
by the eager applicants for place.
But thev have him constantly
hemmed in the White House. He is
conscious every moment that they
are without, ready to pounce down
upon him, and that he will have to
see the most of them in order to get
rid of them. There is lots of honor
in the Presidential Office, but It's oc-
cupant has to cay pretty good
price for it.-.Sunbury Item.

SPEER'S WINE IN PHILADELPHIA

The followingis clipped from the Philadel.
phia Herald OF Monday. April 10th:
''Connoisseurs on wines in fashionable club
houses and restaurants in Philadelphia are all
talking about great brand OF old Burgundy
which has sprung into favor with q sudden ness
that Is unusual In city noted for its set no.
tions and staid ways. The Burg undy in uues.
ton is from the vaults OF the Speer n. J. Wine
company, at Passaic, twelve miles from New
York city. The Speer vineyards have long been
noted for the quality OF its wines, its port, sher.
ries and brandics being sold In many of the
capitals of Europe. The company has had such
a great demand for its wines 1t has never at-
emptcd to sell them in Philadelphia or, in
fact. in any section OF the country west Of New
York city.
incidentally, however, swell Philadelphia
club got hold OF some OF its Burgundy, and
once sampled, there was tremendous demand
for it, Members would drink no other kind.
and very soon the quantity was exhausted,
Then more was ordered, together with some
brands Of Speers port, which were said TO be
famous. Tho Burgundy and port arrived in
due time, but were soon exhausted. The fame
OF the wines spread to other clubs and to some
OF the leading city hotels II is said the demand
on the speer company from Philadelphia has
b cen so great IT has been kept busy during the
past few weeks filling orders for this city alone.

A recent calculation shows that cleo
trio heating for cars costs over five
times as much in fuel as heating by
stoves, an expenditure equivalent to
six horsepower being required to raise
the temperature of an ordinary car for
twenty-four people from 0 degree to
60 degrees Il. 1t is estimated
that double windows would re-
duce the fuel expense one-half.
