New Use for Egg.helI..

Eggshells may be used to advan-
tage in starting delicate plants for
transplanting. The half shells are
filed with earth and set in a box
also containing dampened earth. A
hole is made in the point of the shell
to allow drainage. A single seed is
then planted in each shell, which is
easily broken when transplanting is
done, without the slightest disturb
ance of roots. The use of eggshells
is the discovery of French gardener
who claims that they are vastly supe-
rior to the little pots generally used
for the purpose by florists Chicago

fuIIN Vurued

Waycross. Ga, March IA petition
day asking that the Board of Health re-
scind it's order prohibiting meetings Of
churches, schools, Sunday-schools. and
other public gatherings. The petitioners
contend that the action has greatly in
jured the business interests of the city.
There is no doubt that Waycross has
suffered from the action of the Board of
Health,and some express themselves that
that body has made mistake. In the
first place, they hold that II was right
and proper to close the public schools
and Sunday-schools. and also to stop the
street fair. They think it would
have been the safe thing to
have enforced a strict quarantine, but do
not think the churches should have been
closed. number of people say that the
quarantine in force is mockery, that
while scarlet fever signs are placed UP no
guards are stationed about the houses to
prevent visitors from going in. or the in
mates from coming out OF infected pre-
misses.
Robbie, the two-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. G. Bird was frightfully burned
about 1880 today. Mrs Bird had a fire in
after something. In a few minutes she
heard her baby screaming and ran to his
assistance. Going out the door she
saw Robbie running towards her, with his
clothing on fire. Before reaching him, the
child fell to the ground. The mother sue
ceeded in extinguis hing the flames, but noe

Messrs. W. A. Miller G. r. Youmans
and w. w. Sharpe will erect a large
brick building on the triangular block on
Plant avenue, near the Plant System de-

structure will be two stories high and
will cost between $4,000 and $4,000 1t
will front $50 feet on Plant avenue 212 on
Jane. and 2l2 on Tebeau streets. There
will be fifteen store rooms in the lower
floor, while the upper will be
devoted to office purposes In
the near future a third story will be
added. When completed this will be the
handsomest business block in the city.
Farmers in this section are busy pre-
pairing for Planting The prospects are
that larger acreage planted to cotton,
corn. rice and other products, than ever
before. Agriculturists coming into
town concur in the opinion that the re-
cent freeze did not iniure the fruit pros
poets. The sap had not yet started to
rise when the cold snap came on. and I'M
less later freeze comes on, the pros
poets will be good for a good fruit sea-

BRITISH ARMY ESTIMATES.
rotaI of $4,000 Men Provided for,
BEING 100000 Above the Nor
mnI EstabiisItme

rondon. March 1.-Mr. Brodrick, the
war Secretary, has issued a statement
- che army estimates for 19o1-1e02. The
.,t,l is fS7 ss5 900, of which f5S, 2O5, 900 comes
,-der the heading of war services, and is
,.,sed on the assumption that for the first
.,r months of the new financial year

,oaintained az its full strength and that
hereafter a general reduction will occur
rljs sum also provides for the transport
home of troops, for war gratuities. ETC..
The number of men provided for is
.-oooo. being 100000 above the normal
army establishment.
The total estimates for the previous year
more fSS s9s, 400. which included the sup
,,lsnentary estimates.
The general opinion is that the modest
,lii. ional demands cannot mean really
slsquate army reorganization and reform.
Aprlrently more attention is being paid
IA increasing the efficiency of the auxil-
,srl forces, especially the yeomanry and
,arunteers. than TO the regulars.
The military expenditure probably will
weed that of the expiring year. The
stimates provide for the maintenance of
the full strength of the present forces
IN south Africa until the end of July.

THE WEATHER FOR MARCH.
Weather Bureau Issues Its State
ment-DanGer Period for Freezes
Lasts Until April I.

Washington. March 1.-The weather
bureau has issued statement of the
weather for March. based on average
weather conditions for March, as de-
termined by long series of observation.
AS the weather of any given March does
not conform strictly 20 the average con-
ditions the statements cannot be con-
sidered as forecasts;
In March the storms of the middle
latitude of the North Atlantic ocean are
more numerous, but less severe than
during January ana February. In the
West Indies severe wind storms seldom
occur during the dry season, which con-
tinues from November to April.
East of the Mississippi, the differences
in the monthly rainfalls are not con-
spicUous, except that there is a general
tendency toward a maximum in the sum
mer months.
Although heavy snowstorms are prac-
tlcally unknown in the Southern states
in March and are OF an infrequent occur
renee in the northern districts, some very
remarkable and memorable snowstorms
have visited the north in that month
The period of damaging frosts in the in
terror of the South Atlantic and Gulf
states extends from November to April
Damaging frost is likely to occur in Flori-
da from the middle of October until near
ly the middle of April. Freezes of char
acter to injure oranges and orange trees
in Florida, are, however, practically I'M
known in March.

Elranga, Province OF Bataan, Luzon,
March when the launch bearing the
members of the United States Philippine
commission appeared off the shore of the
mountainous peninsula, province of Ba-

Aag-decorated Bancos, propelled by from
.ourteen to eighteen oarsmen, stripped to
rleir waists. On the boats were painted
the names of the towns they came from,
and in them were the head men of the
Villages.
Each fotilla passed the commission s
launch in review, the oarsmen shouting
was. The whole procession then sour
lied toward the shore, headed by a salt
Banco towing canopied barge in which
we're the members of the commission and
their party.
The barge grounded amid crash of
small boats, and the younger natives
sprang into the water and dragged It to
a point where were wagons hub deep.
These carried the visitors to the land to
Puerto Rivas, and thence to Balanga
passing through lines of natives and
streets of flag decorated houses TO the
military headquarters.
The public session of the commission
