chief directed his chamberlain to dis
tribute among the sable chOristers 90
talents of gold and 80 talents Of silver.

a short address in which he compli.

He told them that Heaven was q big
place and a nice place to live in and
that he hoped they would appreciate
the privileges that had been given
them OF taking up their abode there
with white people. He dwelt particu-
larly on the sin of ambition and alb

The Indians, FillipinOs, Mohamme-
dams, Chinese and Japanese did not en-

blacks raised q cheer at its conclusion
and then sang another song, the chorus
of which was:
Look up yOnder what l see
A milk white angel after me.
Glory, glory, glory hallelujah.

Window Gardening.

Nine-tenths of the windows used for
window gardening are too crowded for
the plants to look we'll or do well. Turn
II new leaf right now by throwing
away every poor OF insignificant
growth. Better to buy new stock in
the spring than to turn your precious
window space into hospital ward for
sickly plants.
Keep the foliage Immediately clean.
Wash the leaves once or twice every
week. A plants lungs are its leaves.
Showering the foliage washes the dust
out of the pores, refreshes the plant
and imparts vigOr. Beside this. clean
plants do not harbOr insects, the great
est foe of the indoor garden, and the
hardest to fight.
Loosen the crushed earth at the top
of the pots. The roots need air. and
in soft, pliable earth they get it by
capillary transmission. A hard top
crust seals the soil up as though in q
jug. Neither air nor water find free
entrance through it. Plants in hard
soil often suffer from lack of moisture
at the roots, though water has been
given every day.
Slide the shades up to top of the
upper sash; take down the curtains at
the plant windows. and let the inyigor-
ating sun shine in. Sunshine to q
plant is what gold is to a Klondike
miner.
In extremely cold weather stay the
watering pot. Plants need little water
during severe weather, and they chill
or freeze twice as quickly after q
fresh drenching. If watering becomes
absolutely necessary, have it the tenn
perature Of the room, and give only in
the morning. Watering in the evening
during a cold snap is to invite a visit
from Jack Frost.
Pet your plants. Turn them, trim
them into shape as they grow, pick off
every dead leaf or faded flower. Hap
hazard care does not pay with house
plants.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
