WINDOW GARDENING.
Charming Home Occupation ana
Recreation for Lovers of Plant
Life and Beauty.

Winter Towering plants may be
grown better in boxes than in small
pots. Window boxes used outside in
summer may be brought in the house
in winter if the precaution is taken to
make them water tight with zinc or
galvanized iron. Leave hole in the
bottom of the lining to draw off the
surplus water The boxes may be
placed on brackets or hung with wires
screwed into the window frame, or
placed on the sill.
Any of the plants commonly grown
in the house can be planted in the box.
Geraniums of any sort, heliotrope,
fuchsias and begonias make good va
riety, while fern or two gives dainty,
tasty effect different from other
plants. Or the box may be filled with
ANIMALS grown from seed. Petunias,
phlox, sweet alyssum, nasturtiums and
a sprig of mignonette will give variety
of bloom all winter.
At the ends may be planted morn
ing glories and trained up each side

Hygienic Value of Bathing.

An authority on hygiene says that
systematic use of salt baths will pre-
vent one from taking cold, and avert
chapping and roughness of the skin.
A handful of common salt dissolved in
a basinful of water as cold as ones vi
tally permits is sufficient for a sponge
bath over the entire body. No soap
should be used in this bath. 1t is better
to use cold water for the face and neck,
adding little hot for the remainder of
the sponging, if desired.

Sugar Goes Higher.

New York, July 9.-The Sugar
Trust made another dip into the
pocket of the American household
er today when it raised the price of
sugar to 6 cents pound whole
sale. This is the eighth raise it
has made in the price since it OBJ
tanned absolute control of the mar
ket two months ago. 1t then beat
the Arbuckles and other competi-
tors into state of submission. 1t
did not allow them to rise from
their knees until they signed an
iron-clad agreement permitting the
trust to fix the selling price.
1t was then S.. 20 per 100 pounds
Raises have been made at intervals
since May %. Each raise was at
the rate of One-tenth of n cent a
pound, Each raise of one-tentll
of a cent imposed gross tax OF
S., 900, 900 upon the sugar users
of this country, who consume s.
600, 900, 600 pounds year.
A raise from $500 to So pei
100 pounds is equivalent to an ar,
bitrary tax upon the trust-ridden
people of this country of $40, 900,
600.
Already the sugar barons, b.
reason of their monopoly, draw
more than 5000, 000, 900 yea
from the American people owe
and above legitimate profits, Par
of this wealth is represented b,
steam yachts, big diamonds an'
