The annexation Of the Hawaiian is

During early October is good time
for sowing pansy seed for next springs
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 so likely to bring ON
red spider and other troubles.
Prepare q bed of very rich, porous
loan on a we'll drained location. Place
over IL frame to be filed with forest
leaves as protection to the little plants
over winter. After sowing the seed In
the bed sift very light covering of soil
over the seed, merely enough to hide
them. During the process Of germina-
ton never allow the bed to dry out, as
moisture is essential to perfect germina-
ton of any seed.
As severe weather approaches cover
tho bed with few inches of litter Of

At the proper time in the spring the

Eagle Lake. Texas, April 15.-Thc water
is going down very slowly Oft the Colorado
bottom below Eagle Lake. This rise Is
the largest since 1869, and some say It
has done as much damage as the 1869
overflow. The extent OF the damage can
not yet be reasonably estimated. About
500 acres Of corn and cotton Is entirely
covered op the Dunovant plantation,
most OF which ia deep enough TO swim an
average sized horse
Several hundred acres of cane Is also
totally covered up, but IL is hoped that Il
will not Kill out the cane. Several small
farms are completely inundated, and the
destruction of property Is almost com
plete.
The lake stands within about four inches
OF the pavilion floor and spreads out
within about 200 yards of the town.
Families that left their homes at the
time OF the rise have most of them gone
