CARING FOR HOUSE PLANTS.
A Few Suggestions as 10 How They Can Be
Made to Flourish.

From the Utica Daily Press.
In order to have the best success in
growing house plants for the windows
in winter, the first thing is good, healthy
plants, free from insects. People often
fail to revive sickly plant. The aim
should be to get good soil from the
florist or from a pasture. 1t matters
not whether it be a geranium OF palm,
the best care is necessary for success.
Nothing is more beautiful than a win
dow filled with fine Towering plants in
midwinter, but to have 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 for some time. The
best way to have good house plants is
to buy what areSwantsd in May, put in
good sized pots, and plunge the pots in
the earth. See that good drainage Is OBJ
tanned; put small board in the bottom
to keep out the worms, and about every
two weeks turn around to keep the roots
from going through the bottom or
pot Keep well watered through the
summer and by fall you will have fine
plants that will produce more flowers
than half a dozen poor ones. The DIST
plants for Towering in winter are geia-
niums, Chinese primrose, Gala, cycia-
mems, cineraria, carnations, Easter il1es,
lilium, freesias, begonias, and many oth-
ers.
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 mlsh1ef
before he is discovered. A dry, hot at
mosphsre favors his production. TO pre-
vent him keep the plants moist ana syr-
inge them. Bulbs, ferns palms, etc.,
make good plants for home culture.
Most house plants do well in an aver
age temperature of not more than 90 de-
grees at night, with 20 or 20 degrees
higher in the day time. Plants are
often put in the cellar for the winter.
They will live, but not make as GOOD
plant as a cutting rooted in March. we
have to watch them closely in the green
houses. If men in the florist business
could raise plants by putting them under
bench in the winter they would get
rich in a few years. Flowering plants
need the best sunlight, while foliage
plants will thrive without the bright
sun. Plants should not be put up too
high in the room, for the air is too hot
and dry there.

FOUR MURDERED IN A DIVE.
Kansas Rivals of the Notorious Ben

Columbus, Kan, Sept. 17.-A story of crimes rivaling the deeds of the notorious Bender family comes to light in a murder trial now in pro- gress here in the district court. Ed and George Stafleback, brothers, and their mother, Mrs. George Wilson, are accused of the murder of Frank Gal braith in June last at Galena, Kan. The evidence is so direct that George Stafeback and his mother were speed fly found guilty of murder In the first and second degree, respectively, and the trial of Ed Stafeback is still in progress. The family were keep CTS of dive in Galena. Galbraith was shot to death and robbed in the place, following quarrel with the mother and sons over the swoman's daughter. His body was thrown into an abandoned mine shaft. Mrs. Cora Stafleback, wife of George, and two other inmates of the house gave tes- timony as to the facts of the murder, and from these witnesses, evidences of another triple murder at Galena has been secured.

A wheeIman's Device.

Ingenious wheelmen of Nice have put
an end to the tribute of lives which
a hill near that city has been ex-
acting from them. At the bottom OF
this declivity, it seems, there is a sharp
turn, then bridge with low parapet,
and just beyond a terrible amount of
nothing at all except scenery. Long ago
the French Touring club put sign ad-
wishing caution in conspicuous place at
the top Of the descent, but this did not
prove sufficient to overcome the fatal
attraction of the abyss, and wheelmen
continued to precipitate themselves into
the view-which, by the way, was pri-
vate property-with a rapidity that
threatened in time seriously to diminish
the clubs annual receipts from dues.
After long study of the problems,
financial, aesthetic and others, which
the case involved, it was decided to sus-
pend just beyond the parapet a strong
net neatly woven of steel wires The
very day after it was put in place a BIZ
cyolist came coasting wildly down the
hill, struck the stone wall, left his wheel
1t WASH t worth taking any farther
and took graceful header into the net.
For the first time it wasn't necessary
for the newspapers of Nice, in giving
their regular news from the bridge of
Raminguo, to say anything about "a
plunge into eternity" Since then the
net has saved an average of four lives a
week, and so well known have its pow
ers become that picnic parties from the
city, which once avoided the bridge as a
place of tragical associations, now re-
sort there daily to watch, from the cool
shade of nearby trees, the amusing
pastures assumed by the wheelmen and
wheelwomen when they strike the elias
tic wires. According to recent informa-
ton from that region the spectacle is
well worth seeing. New York Times

ly reality of the ardent and imperish-
able passion which he felt for her, Ce-
Gle? She jealous? Jealous of little
girl who had died before her heart had
opened! What folly! 1t would be well
enough to say these things and many
others to Cecile. But she would never
listen to him. She would repeat with
sobs and tears, You have loved her, -
or else (and this would be much worse)
she would sit unmoved and look at him
coldly-silently.
Nevertheless he could not remain all
day in the fields. He must return to
the tavern, where Cecile had already
gone.
He searched for the path and regain
ed it. He resolved TO walk rapidly, but
as he approached the village he slack
ened his pace, and it took him over an
hour to get to his lodgings and ten
minutes more to mount the stairs Be
fore the door his heart beat strangely.
| At last he entered.
Alas! What would she say, if she
deigned to speak at all? He awaited a
sad discourse or sadder silence.
But mol She spoke, and very sweet
ly, with her soft voice
"Ahi Ills you, she said, and, smil-
ing, she raised her forehead for kiss.
| Whatl She was not angry? She was
not sad? He did not see that her eyes
were a little red, as though she had
been weeping. Perhaps. he thought, she
did not read the name upon the stone.
Another surprise awaited him.
Upon the table, in great perfumed
lunches, were lilies and white roses.
One would have said that they were for
a fete day, and that the florist had just
left them.
''These flowers, Cecile?" he asked
hesitatingly
What" she said, and her voice grew
still sweeter. did you not see that it
was all bare and SO gloomy-the little
grave in the cemetery? Here are some
flowers, Roger. Take them to Denise. !"
"Ah, dear one, he said, falling up
on his knees, chow merciful you are to
me and how kind to the poor little one
who fell asleep SO young. Yes. will
carry the flowers to her, or rather we
will take them together. -
But Cecile said;
NO, mol Not that. And she smiled
a little sadly. 'Tis the same with
children, tbs the same with the dead.
We are all a little jealous Look you,
dear one. Should l accompany you to
the graveyard Denise would be less
pleased to have flowers upon her tomb. :"

Forcing Plants with Ether.

Attention is being attracted to the
use of ether and chloroform vapors as
forcing agents. 1t has been shown by a
number of Investigators that the vapor
Of chloroform or ether has a. marked eff
feet upon the respiration of plant, in
creasing it in some cases to a marked
degree, as explained by Professor Gal
loway. Increasing the respiration sim
ply means that the plant is being made
to do more work than normal. He says:
1T must be remembered, however, that
in doing this the plant is living beyond
its means, and sooner or later there
must be a reckoning which may prove
disastrous. The plant responds to the
ether treatment just as it would to any
other irritating influence, and the effect
in the end must be the same as when an
extra stimulus is overwhelmingly, in
creased energy for the time, followed by
collapse and death if the matter is car
ried far enough. In cases Of bulbs and
woody plants, where there is more or
less stored energy in the form of food
material, etherizing might work to adj
vantage in starting growth. This seems
to have been the line of work carried
on by the Danish Investigator. From
the report of Consul Kirk, however, the
conclusions have not been very definite :"

The Gravitation Theory.

In one of his lectures before the Low
ell institute, Boston, recently Professor
g. F. Wright combated the supposition
that the conclusions of modern physical
science are free from difficulties and
clear of all doubt. Instead of such be-
ing the case science, he declares, is lead
ing deeper and deeper into mysteries
and substituting instead of single mys-
teries an ever increasing multitude for
each one. He instanced in illustration
the Newtonian theory of gravitation as
involving paradoxes to this day unex-
planned, arguing that if bodies act up
on each other at a distance without any
intervening medium then a thing can
act where it is not, which is an absurd
ity, while, on the other hand, if there
is material medium filing all space,
and gravity is transmitted through
that by a push rather than by pull,
then the transmission ought to occupy
some appreciable time, but this it does
not do, and at any rate, if its action is
not absolutely instantaneous, its veloci-
ty must be at least fifty million times
greater than that of light. Moreover,
every effort to represent gravitation as
the result of push from behind in
wolves absurdities of various kinds In
fact, Newton's final conclusion was that
the philosophy of gravitation is abso-
lutely uncomfortable and its action para
aoxical.
