Sowing Pansy Seed.

During early October is a good time
for sowing pansy seed for next spring $
supply of plants for bedding out. The
reason for fall sowing out of doors is
that the plants are not then subjected
to the hot, drying influences of the
house, which are 30 likely to bring ON
red spider and other troubles.
Prepare IA bed of very rich, porous
loan on well drained location. Place
over it frame to b. filled with forest
leaves as protection to the little plants
over winter After sowing the seed III
the bed sift very light covering of soil
over the seed, merely enough to hide
them. During the process of gerInina-
ton never allow the bed to dry out, as
moisture is essential to perfect germina-
tion OF any seed.
AS severe weather approaches cover
the bed with few inches of litter of
some sort, forest leaves being preferable
At the proper time in the spring the
seedlings may be pricked out of the soil
in the seedbed and transferred TO the
bed in which they are TO bloom. Wom-

Hor.e Racing and socialism.

In the Militar Wochenblatt, leading
German military organ, Herr Won Ploetz
recommends horse racing as panacea
for socialism. He says that the reason
why there is no socialism in England is
that they encourage horse racing there

men. enabling the poor to comprehend
the necessity for difference of fortune.
Following out Herr Ploetz's idea, it
is said that gambling on horse racing is
increasing in Germany at a tremendous
rate, though no far no diminution of

may possess some superior qualities for
such service there are, on the other
hand such drawbacks as make it Ger
tain that they would never be accept
able to the majority of men who wculd
have to be served by them. He says:
IL think the objection to them would
be based chiefly ON the fact that they
never show especial attention to mty
person. / never knew a woman who
waited ON man to trouble herself in
the least about the manner in winch
she served him. 1t makes absolutely no
difference whether they receive libu..

and good service requires merely that
they shall be set down noiselessly and
brought quickly. There the service of
the waitress ends. She can beat any
man at those features of the business.
But she cannot select for him anything
better than the rest of the customers
get. Usually she does not notice any

the safeguard of the waiter and will
