TO GROW THE RUBBER PLANT.
The Secret IL in Always Feeding 1t
Well When Food ID
NEEDED.

Keep the rubber plant clean by Civ
ing it a soap bath, writes Eben
E. Rexford, in Ladies Home Jour
nal. Tall plants can be made to
branch by cutting of the tops.
But young plants growing to the
height of three or four feet in one
straight stalk will generally be found
more satisfactory, as they will have
larger, finer foliage than the old
branching plants ever have. When
growth is taking place use a fertilizer,
as it's demands on the soil are great,
and ordinary soils are not rich enough
to supply all its needs. The secret of
the successful culture of the rubber
plant consists in always feeding it well
at the times when good deal of food
is needed-and by this it will be under
stood that l refer to its period OF
growth-and never allowing it to be-
come rootbound. Keep the plant al
ways going ahead, and avoid any treat
ment that will check its development
if you would have vigorous and
healthy specimen. The rubber plant
requires a much stronger light than
the palm, therefore it is not SO well
adapted to room decoration in places
some distance from the window as the
palm is,

A PLEASING PERSONALITY.
A Charm of Manner That May d,
Cultivated with But Lit
tie ExertiOn,

When an aged minister recently re-
signed his pulpit, there were many ex-
pressions Of regret from persons not
connected with any church. His voice
and sympathetic manner had won all
hearts. His successor, a more tai
ented man, was not able to attach
the people to him, for he lacked the
kindly expression of interest and sym
pathy that gained the former min
lister an attentive congregation, writes
Margaret Merkel, in Housekeeper.
In little village, one Sunday even
ing, the people welcomed the new
minister" One Of the old members
said: "We have not yet been able
to replace one of our good members !;
she was so useful and ever ready to
help"
The minister. thinking of recent
death. asked: when did she die?"
The rarely useful woman had died
90 years before, and her place had not
yet been filed. She was neither ac-
complished nor educated. only a SYM
pathetic, good woman, of charming
personality.
A few years ago beautiful, gifted
woman was taken ill. For years she
lived and fretted because of disease.
Few people called to see her, or
evinced the least sympathy, or desire
for her recovery. She was talented,
beautiful, dressed attractively, and
none could speak evil of her; she was
a good daughter and sister; but her
excellencies seemed as nothing-be-
cause of lack of sympathy, self-con-
troll and self-forgetfulness. She re-
gained her health, and became a Gym
ic, seeing the world through dark
glasses.
/ know young man, chronic
grumbler, who, while he realizes that
he possesses one of the most unfor-
tunate of habits, excuses himself by
saying that it is his nature to grum-
be. His mother has fostered this
idea, instead of helping him to over
come this tendency. This individual
charm or power may be largely ac-
quired, but it is not the work of
chance or the growth of day.

YESTERDAYS TEMPERATURES.

WASHINGTON, July IA hot wave OF
unusual and in places record-creaking IN
tensity Is again prevalent over the CEN
traI western part of the country, and
is spreading eastward and northward. The
Central West reported the extraordinar-
lily high temperature line of 100 degrees TO-
day, including the states and territories
of Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma Iowa,
Missouri, Indiana and Illinois. Tonight at
Chicago, at z o'clock, the temperature
was 100 degrees, exceeding by several
degrees anything ever before recorded at
that time of the day. A serious feature
IS the showing made in the states OF
Iowa, Missouri and Kansas, where the
temperatures have been 80 degrees or over
tor a period of over a month. For
eighteen days of this time the thermome-
ter at Kansas City registered 100 degrees
or more. Weather bureau officials do not
care to make any prediction as to the
prospects Of relief. They say that none

The seriousness of the situation to the
crops is increased by the lack of rain,

practically Entire Country Swept
by the Hot Wave.
WASHINGTON, July 21.-The weather
bureau tonight issued the following spe-
cial bulletin;
Practically the entire country was COW
cred by the hot wave today except the
immediate Pacific coast and in the statAs
of Iowa, Missouri and Illinois, nearly all
previous high records were exceeded.
Ihe maximum temperature line of 100
degrees .encircles the entire great corn
peIt. AT Davenport and Dubuque, Iowa.
and at Springfield, ILL.,, the maximum
temperatures of 106 degrees were de-
grees above the highest previous record.
While at st. Louis the maximum of los
degrees had been equaled but once be-
fore, or Aug. II, 1883. At Chicago the
maximum of 1o3 degrees equals the pre-
vious high record of July 10, of the pres
ent year. In the states Of Iowa, Missouri
and Kansas the duration of the present
heated term is without precedent There
have been practically no Interruptions to
temperatures of 80 degrees or over since
June is, a period of thirty-four days. On
eighteen days Of this period the maxi
mum temperature at Kansas City was;
1O0 degrees or more.
There are as yet no indications of any
relief from the abnormal heat. No rain
has fallen in the corn belt for the past
three days and none is in sight. 1t is, of
course, probable that In scattered locaH-
ties which are always subject To pro-
tracted periods of heat, rain NAV fall at
times, but no hope can be entertained at
this time of any general or permanent
relief. N. c. Frankenfield,
