PROVIDENCE OPERA HOUSE.


There never was a larger audience AT
the Providence opera house than that
of last night and before S o'clock there
was only standing room for sale. The
wilbur Opera company's merry season
is closing in a most happy manner and
the audiences yesterday were very en-
thusiastic. Last evening the opera
was Fra Diavolo," and IL was sung
exce,lently and received with more fa-
vor than when presented on previous
occasions during the present engage
ment. Its merry and catchy music
seemed to have struck responsive
chord i'm the gallery, for the boys took
nm and whistled very softly the Ia
NOUS song descriptive OF Diavolo's ca
reer. Mr.. Gus Vaughn repeated his pre-
vious successes in the title role. MISS
Richardson sang swcetly ana was
forced 10 respond to encores. Mr.. Hunt
ington again gave evidence of his re-
markable versatility. which has been
before noted. Miss Robinson was pleas
ing i'm the part Of Lady Allcash. Mr..
Lane and Mr.. Lamar were amusing as
the followers of Fra Diavolo and par
ticularly satisfying was their imita-
ton OF the chamber scene.
The illustrated songs by Mr. Al La
mar were never better received than
they were last night. and IL should be
noted that one of the big successes of
the engagement that Is now drawing %
n close has been the work OF this gem
tleman in this line. Miss Laughlin was
given y hearty reception by the audi
tSnce. and Little Gabriel Is as popular
as ever. The living pictures ended the
evenings entertainmnt.
This evening grand triple bill will
he given and tomorrow afternoon the
"Rlack Hussar.' while in the evening
the 1.-TWO Vagabonds" will he produced.

Carnations from Slips.

The statement, made apparently in
all good faith, that 'Carnations from
slips were not to be depended on. at
best" which met my eye recently, was
a surprise to me since had met with
no failure in that line.
"A true lover of Carnations gave me
slips, selecting low growing side
branches which had not budded. She
advised trimming of the leaves to the
tip, and setting in four-inch pots OF
rich earth instead of sand, watering
them beautifully when first set, and
letting them have sun in the morning,
but shade for the remainder of the
day. QUART tin cans were used with
drainage of course,) the stems almost
touching bottom, the soil pressed firm
ly around them, and they were placed
in a somewhat shaded bed of Phlox.
These slips were taken in June and
not watered ait all, for the weather
kept so showery it was unnecessary.
When in vigorous growth they were
moved to an open bed, still shaded
from the afternoon sun, and large
lovely blossoms rewarded the care
given them.-MayflOwe

For the very fine seeds, such as BegOni-
as, Petunias, and for spores of ferns,
ETC., firm the soil down and SOW diract-
ly on the surface without adding any
covering of soil, which should have
been previously moistened, and when
any additional moisture is required i'm
merse the bottom of the pan Or box in
water and it will soon be drawn up by
capillary attraction, the water entering
at the drainage holes. When seeds are
planted on or near the surface they
should have covering of glass, espec-
tally if in the dry dwelling room. This
should be couple of inches above the
soil, but as soon as the seedlings APP
pear the glass must be raised for ven
tilation and finally removed. In a
moist greenhouse this precauti n is
hardly necessary, unless for ferns. In
all cases the young seedlings must be
shaded from the direct rays of the
sun by newspaper or other heavy
shading ON the glass.
A convenient and sure method is to
fill a large pot loosely with spagnum
moss and press a much smaller pot in
to the center, until the rims are flush
The center pot is filled with good, fine
soil, in which the seeds are sown, and
the water is applied to the moss be-
tween the pots. Enough will seep
through to nourish the young plants.
This keeps the soil always moist, but
never wet. Another simple method is
to set the pot in a shallow saucer con-
tanning water.
Dry seeds will usually stand great
range of temperature, but for favora-
BILE results the temperature should
vary very little after the seeds are
moist and starting to sprOut. Keep
them five to ten degrees warmer. than
the proper growing temperature of the
plant, from 60 to 80 degrees, according
to variety After seeds have germi-
mated and a leaf appears, remove to a
cooler locality and in bright light;
also at this time give careful ventila-
tion, supplying all the fresh air the
plants will stand. This is for the pur-
pose of making the plants stalky and
to prevent "damping- off. Elk.

all these operations great care and at
tention is necessary to be uniformly
cial establishment The amateur need
not be discouraged by this fact, as he
can start many more seeds or cuttings
that he desires, so if a great many fall
by the wayside he will still have
enough left for his limited require
ments.
The sowing of many kinds of seeds
is so simple that little instruction is
necessary, for they are bound to grow,
while others are so fragile that they
need the utmost coaxing and nursing.
The vitality of many seeds is remark
able. No doubt everyone is familiar
with the story Of the grains of wheat
found in the Egyptian mummy cases;
it is said they terminated and grew
after lying dormant for thousands of
years. Of course this could hardly
happen in any other climate than that
of Egypt, although maize has been
known to grow that was found in the
tombs of the Incas. Seed will not
sprout and exhaust itself if situated at
any great depth below the surface,
even though the soil is moist. Earth
has been found to produce plants TAX
en- from excavations fifty feet below
the surface and Immediately covered
with glass and away from any possi-
bility of receiving seed floating in the
air.
Some seeds sprout in a few days
while others, under the most favorable
conditions, lie dormant for some years
before terminating. Out of planting
of Persian Iris a few came up in one
year, and the balance did not appear
until six years later. Job was a good
man, but 1 doubt if he ever planted
Iris seed.
Moisture and temperature are the
two leading factors to bear in mind in
growing seed. Little or no light is re-
Quired. The soil comes next in i'm
portance. At first it only acts as a
medium to support the seeds and to
convey sufficient moisture to- them For
a short time the Seeding needs little
nourishment from the soil, so the
surface of the soil requires little fertil-
izing material If the seedlings are to
remain some time in the terminating
box or pan, fertilizing material can be
added to the lower strata. This fact
allows us to SOW some varieties of seed
directly in fine sand, especially those
that lie long time and would be like
ly to decay if in contact with organic
substances. The ideal material is leaf
mold or fbrOus peat mixed with
small portion of sand. Press the soil
down firmly and level. If possible pre-
pare a sufficient number of boxes or
pans to allow the seeds to be sown
some distance apart, which will dis
turb the roots less when transpIanting,
and allows more space for air to circu-
late among seedlings The larger
seeds may be covered over with fine
soil from one-sixteenth to half inch
in depth. This should be firmly press
od down and made Jovn1 TT IS I1ndQr-
