Plotting Carnations.

Margaret Carnations grown for
winter blooming should be lifted in
September and carefully ported, all
flower stems being cut away and
stakes being furnished to support the
plant. A sharp lookout should be kept
for the green fly, whic.. frequently in
tests carnations and destroys them if
not checked. Carnations require but
little water in the winter and should
be kept rather dry than otherwise.

N Painter of Fana.

In these days of very personal jour-
nalism, Rudolf Lehman, who attained
the age of 81 on Aug. 10, can not be
said to be very we'll known to the man
in the street. Yet the veteran is the
most illustrious portrait painter liv-
ing, and the number of distinguished
people who have sat to him is simply
amazing. For example, there is the
Prince Of Wales. who smoked a great
deal while undergoing the ordeal; and
other sitters have been Mr.. Gladstone,
the Duke of Cambridge, Pope Plus
TX, Lord Tennyson, Cardinal Man
ming, Browning, and the present Lord
Warwick, who was then years old.
Mr.. Lehman also painted Lord Leigh
ton, when the president of the Royal
Academy was about % years old. Lord
Leighton was born II years after the
veteran artist and died four years ago.
Mr.. Leamann was born at Hamburg,
and it was not till 1866 that he set
tied in London. For 16 years previous
~ he had lived in Rome. where some
of his pictures had become we'll known
London Tit-Bits.

onto the railroad tracks through mis-

and the baggage cars were badly dam
aged. The crews of both trains jumped.
Engineer Covington was picked up UNI
conscious, but later recovered, and will
be all right soon. The others were
bruised and cut in several places. The
south-bound train was going slowly,
having just left the station, and the
north-bound train was slowing up for
the station. Otherwise the collision
would have resulted in heavy loss Of
life. No. SO, going south, had lost sew
eral minutes. but had made up the
time at Monticello, and this evidently
resulted in the confusion that gave
poth trains right of way and caused the
wreck.

Cows should always be MIXED dry,
not only to keep up the flow of milk
but also to get all the cream that is
in the milk, as the last part of milk
ing is by far the richest. A German
investigator divided several milkings
into three parts each and analysed
each part. He found the first third of
the milkings contained 17S per cent
fat; the second part 1874 per cent fat:
and the third 4.52 per cent fat. The
average was 3.21 per cent fat. So we
see that leaving the last part of the
milk in the udder means a very ma
terial loss of butter fat. OF course
the figures given are not constant, but
the general principle is the same.

President McKlnlex,s plano.

While governor OF Ohio, Mr.. Nc.
Kinley bought for Mrs. Mckinley an
A. b. Chase piano. When elected
President of the United States, they
desired a piano BETTING the dignity
and character of their surroundings
and the A. B. Chase piano was again
chosen. A specially designed case was
prepared, and as soon as finished was
duly delivered at the executive man
sion in Washington, and at the re-
quest of Mrs. Mckinley, placed in
their private parlors. Mrs. sfcKinley
is very fond of music, and the piano
will be used for all the informal mu-
sicales for which she is so partial.
A beautiful souvenir entitled s'From
Century to Century," has been issued
by the A. B. Chase Co., showing inter-
Tor views of the White House in 1900,
and in 1900. One of these will be sent
free to any one intending to purJ
