TIME FOR FLOWERS.
The Season For Outdoor Gardening Is at
Hand.

The Season For Outdoor Gardening Is at
Hand.
The time for flowers is almost here.
The roses are shooting ont, and wher-
ever this is the case they ought to be
trimmed. It is little too early yet to
turn up the dirt in the garden, but
those who intend 10 engage in the cult
walton of f0wcIs-a most delightful
recreation-cau begin their preparations
by planting certain varieties OF seeds in
small boxes or baskets, filed with dirt,
to be subsequently transplantcd to the
garden
Some varieties are wonderfully inn
proved by trausplanting. The taste for
gardening has grown rapidly Of late
years in Baltimore, and it is the excep-
ton now TO find house without some
effort at raising flowers
People have discovered that it is such
an easy thing TO do. Very little space
is required. A made plot Of ground, 3
feet square, on even less, will grow
number Of pretty flowers. Or, if so small
a space cannot be had, any old box or
basket can be utilized. Filled with dirt
and planted with the right sort of seed,
1t will soon be transformed into thing
Of beauty, if not "a joy forever. -Balti-

CHASED BY WOLVES.
1 Scared Young Man Defends Himself
Bravely with His Voice.

While On his way TO Craig and when
about ten miles from town John w.
Lowell, Jr, of Craig, Colo, had an I'M
pleasant experience with three gray
wolves.
Mr.. Lowell noticed the wolves in the
distance, but paid no attention TO them
until after ne had Travelled about a
mile, when his horse became uneasy.
Looking back. 1lr Lowell lchold a
sight which, as De Says. caused his hat
to raise not trif,e-three large gray
wolves about geo yards distant were
charging after him &C speed which
would soon bring thcn upon him,
There was not a moment 10 spare,
and the ycung man hardly knew what
TO 10. lie was unarmod, and the snow
was so deep that il was impossible for
his horse 60 run from the forocious
beasts with any degree of success.
He quickly decided that he had but
one chance, and that was 10 attempt 10
bluff. Wheeling his horse around, fac
ing the wolves be applied the quirt,
and at every jump Of his steed he let
forth a yell that would have put any
Commche to shame, For moment the
bluff seemed a failure, for the wolves
continued to approach, and the distance
between the horsCman and the shaggy
creatures lessened 10 about 90 yards be-
fore the turn in affairs occurred.
Finally, after few moro plunges in
the snow by the horse and numerous
yells from the thoroughly frightened
young man, the wolves suddenly TUNED
and ran in an opposite direction. -

THEY WANT TO DUCK HER.
Neighbors of Mrs. Anseim Would Revive

years. The tenants Of an apartment
house in Hoboken, however, believe it
should be i'll the case of Mrs Matilda
Anselm. She has lived on the first floor

With Mrs. Caroline Seigfried, who
Owls the house and lives in one of the
apartments, she went too far. The re-
marks made by her reflected on Mrs
Seigfried's character. So, with Frank
Ludwig, her son-in-law, Mrs. Seigfried
called ON Recorder McDonough. The
latter could not see his way clear to en-
terrain charge against Mrs. Anselm
for her aspersions upon her landlady's
character, but he could hold her under

BIG SOAP BUBBLES.
\ Gas Pipe and an OH Pipe Formed Dame
Natures Outfit.

4 Gas Pipe and an OH Pipe Formed Dame
Natures Outfit.
About half a mile above franklin,
Pa, up the Erie railroad track, is to be
seen one Of the most curious sights in
this country. Approaching a small,
sluggish stream one is surprised to see
rising from the surface Of the water a
number of bubbles, which glisten in the
sun like glass.
1t is beautiful sight The rides
cent spheres, revolving swiftly after the
manner Of soap bubbles, foated rapidly
upward, some breaking at height of
10 or 20 feet, others soaring away above
the tree tops and out Of sight, resem-
bling more than anything else gorgeous
toy balloons.
A gas line and an oil line pass under
the run at this point, within a few
inches Of each other, and III each pipe
is small leak. The digging and refill
ing Of the trenches made dam which
held Il few barrels of stagnant water.
There was some alkali in the muddy
bottom, which, in combination with the
oil, formed saponule.
This, while not being "a perfect soap,
was sufficiently saponaceous and cohe-
siye TO make beautiful bubbles when
churned by the escaping gas. The fact
that the bubbles are full of gas causes
them to ascend more swiftly, and the
presence of the oil makes them more
brilliant, many colored and unusually
beautiful. Oil City Blizzard.
