HINTS ON WINDOW GARDENING.

PURDUE UNIVERSITY, DEC. 81, '9o.
Too often the class Of plants Sc
lected for window gardening are not
to the conditions OF tenn
perature and light to which they
are subjected. Generally only two
classes Of plants are grown; those
a temperature of from 5O0
to 6Oo Fab. at night, with rise OF
100 to 15o during the day, and
those which require temperature
Of about Is . less. In the first class
are included geraniums with the
exception of pelargoniums often
called Martha Washington gera-
niums,) roses, fuchsias, ferns,
palms, be gonias, etc., and in the
latter, carnations, hyacinths, cycla-
mems, cinerarias, geraniums (pelar-
gonium) azaleas, primroses, etc.
Plants grown in dry heated at
mosphere do not thrive as well as
those grown in a moist one, and are
more subject to the attacks OF red
spider and aphis (lice.) The air may
be rendered moist by keeping an
open vessel Of water in the room.
Red spider may be kept in check
by frequently spraying the plants
with water, while the aphis can usu-
'lally be deferred from attacking the
plants by dusting them occasionally y
with tobacco dust. If they should
prove troublesome, they may be
killed by spraying the plants with
Ia liquid tobacco solution. A tobac'
leo extract is also sold under the
name of "Rose Leaf Extract,
which is a valuable insecticide.
Different classes Of plants require
soils Of different textures and rich
ness, hence it is difficnlt to give ,
: mixture suitable for all. A pottinl
soil meeting the needs of most win
. dow plants is found in a mixture o
two parts loan and one part each o
: leaf mould, manure and sand.
1t is often necessary during TIT
winter months to supply some
.. liquid stimulants to the plants, il
order, in the case of fowerinl
J plants, to increase the number AM
Q size of the flowers, and in that O
! foliage plants to give a darker ant
: more luxuriant growth. These ar
Itificial stimulants may be applies
! in the form Of manufactured plan
:. foods, or what is infinitely NOR
: satisfactory, if not quite as pleasant
in the form Of liquid manure mad
. from a mixture Of COW and sheel
!. manures, in the proportion OF abou
four to one, with a small amount O
, ashes to furnish an excess of potash
. These ingredients should be steepe'
! in barrel or tub Of water for sever
!. al days before using. Care shoul'
2 be exercised in the use Of artificia
I stimulants Of any kind, as they will
( injure the plants if applied to-
l strong, or in too liberal amounts
. Liquid manure made according t
! the method described, should be di
1 luted until it resembles the color o
0 weak tea. Plants should not a
/. first be watered oftener than once
q fortnight with it, gradually increas
!. in frequency until once or twice
I week is reached.

Terrible weapous of war.

A man has invented bullet which ex-
pands, after entering the body, into the
shape of mushroom, smashing the
bone like an explosive shell. AFrench
officer has invented a rifle which will
hurl vitriol in the face of the enemy.
A soldier might run ignominiously
from such a charge when he would
stand up before cannon. Another new
apparatus will fire luminous projectiles
that the field of battle may be illumi'
mated by night as well as by day, so
that there need be no cessation of hos
tilities until one side or the other is
vanquished. The English government
is experimenting with an automatic
man slayer. The gun fires 1000 shots
every 1913 seconds. Experiments have
shown that it can, in short attack, be
made to fire IL shots per second. A
dynamite gun is being designed to
throw 200 pounds of explosive gelatine
a distance of four miles. A few such
shots would destroy large city.

DIDN'T LIKE THE CITY.
Country Cow Makes Lots OF
Trouble for Mr.. Beauchamp.
Unforeseen Obstacles to Leading
the Obstinate Creature Quickly
Through the Quiet Streets of
Atlanta at Night.

There are great many different
kinds of trouble in this world, but, says
the Atlanta Constitution, j. p. Beau
champ, well-known citizen, had an ex-
perience with a COW the other night
which puts him in the category with
the modern Jobs. Beauchamp bought
a COW in Gwinnett county and under
took to get her to his home in Atlanta,
which is out on Marietta street, near
Collins brickyard. The COW never be-
fore having seen the sights in a great
city became unruly as soon as she
reached the limits. Then it was that
Beauchamp struck upon the happy
thought of leading his COW through the
city after dark. There was no help for
it. He had to pass right through the
heart of the city, which he approached
from Decatur street, and his route lay
down that thoroughfare and out Mari
eta street. The COW would not pass
electric cars and the rumbling wagons
in daytime. and Beauchamp thought
everything would be all right when the
shades of night fell and Atlanta was
resting after the excitement of the
busy day.
Beauchamp waited until about one
o'clock at night, when there was not
a street car or vehicle on the streets,
and then he started up Decatur street
with his COW. He had not gone many
squares-before watchful police officer
hailed him and asked him where he got
the COW and whyNhe was driving it
through the city at such an unusual
hour of the night. Beauchamp compli-
mented the officer on his vigilance and
Atlanta on having such watchful guard
ians of the peace, and explained the
situation. 1t was some trouble, be-
cause the COW would not stand still, and
he was in profuse perspiration. He
was at last permitted to proceed on his
way after having lost Is minutes. But
he was an honest citizen, and did not
wish to rest under any suspicion.
He had not gone two squares further
before he was stopped by another po-
liceman, and he again explained the
situation as patiently as he could I'M
der the circumstances. Another IS
