FLOWER AND TREE.

Tobacco water will destroy bugs and
worms on rosebushes.
Only we'll rotted manure should be
allowed to come in contact with the
roots of trees.
Don't try to transplant a cyclamen
after the bulb has begun to throw up
green leaves. If you do, you will lose
your bulb.
Vines may be set in the spring and
also In the fall. 1t is said the clematis
does best if set in the latter season,
while the wistaria. honeysuckle and ia
pan ivy are by preference to be planted
In the spring.
One reason why. plants often do not
succeed in window culture is the want
of moisture in the air. Anything that
tends to supply this lack is so much
gained. On this account plants often
do best in the kitchen window.
The petals Of single flower fall
sooner than do those of double one
for the reason that the inner petals are
transformed more slowly and retain
the power of adherence they need
when performing their original func.
ton.

of his entertaining have been factors.
He is fifty-eight years old.
Mr.. Dupee has acquired fortune Of

SINGULAR MAxiMS.
Old Time Rules For the Table by the
German Poet Won Zirkler.

German Poet Won Zirkler.
That our ancestors were not so well
managed as we are is evident from the
fol0wing rules, which were laid down
by Tommasin Won Zirkler, a German
poet. in regard to the conduct of host
and his guest at dinner party. These
singular maXimS were recently I'M
earthed and have now been reprinted:
Every host should take care that
his guests have enough to eat and that
they are not served with dishes that
they do not want. In return the guests
should behave properly and should be
satisfied with whatever is placed be-
fore them.
"a guest should not eat all his bread
before the first dishes are served, nei-
Their should he eat with both hands nor
drink nor talk when his mouth is full.
1T is not polite to turn toward ones
neighbor and to offer him > rinecup
from which one is still drinking.
"One should not eat greedily and
hastily, as though the dinner had been
paid for, neither should one take any
food from his neighbours plate. In a
word each person should accept what
Is offered and ask for nothing else.
"When there is some one ON the right
hand, it is permissible to eat with the
left hand.
"Whle one is drinking the eyes
should be steadily fixed on the wine
cup.
ut is improper to place ones hand in
a dish while another person is taking
some food from it.
zone should always have the hands
clean and the nails cut short, as other
wise those persons who are eating from
the same dish are likely to become dis
gusted
"A guest should never put his ell
bows on the table, neither should he
chatter all the time nor clean his teeth
with a knife."-Chicago Herald.
