HOUSEHOLD NOTES.
Hints About Plants and Flowers.

At this season one may begin max
ing arrangements for next summers
garden by starting cuttings from the
plants she wishes to bloom. From
one geranium a dozen cuttings may be
taken without inJuring the old plant.
Have ready shallow box Of coarse
sand IN which insert your cuttings.
Keep it warm and always moist all the
way through.
Plants ought to be turned in the
window at least once week in order
to make them grow in symmetrical
shape. II this is not done the plants
will seek the light to such a degree
that they will only be pretty when
looked at from the side toward which
they have turned
Plants need good deal more water
as the days grow longer and warmer
than they do in midwinter. They
should be given all they make use Of.
Watch the surface of the soil and
whenever it looks dry give more
water. Frequently one sees directions
for using oil for plants, both as root
food, and for the foliage, to produce a
gloss. But it is a mistake in both
cases. Oil is no benefit to the plant
and about the roots may be positive
injury as it prevents them from alb
sorbing moisture from the soil. On
the leaf it closes the pores, and inter
feres with their proper action.
The red spider is such an injurious
and disagreeable pest, and so rapid in
its increase that it is we'll to adopt he.
roic measures on its discovery. Heat
= tubful of water to 120 degrees; bet
ter test it by thermometer, and dip
the plants in it, allowing them to be
covered for half a minute. The spi-
ders will be killed and no harm done
the plants.
Small plants should have email
pots, and larger ones should not be
used until the old ones are filled with
roots. Give a geranium a large pot
and it will have a luxuriant growth OF
leaves but no flowers. By giving less
root room the branches are retarded,
but flowers come. If fertilizers are
used at the proper time plants will
not suffer from being in small pots.
If the foliage becomes small and
growth goes on, give fertilizer and
there will be fine crop of flowers.
If you wish q vine or climbing plant
about picture or window or door
way. get an English ivy. 1t has been
rather neglected of late years; but it
is not difficult to grow and is rich
and beautiful vine that will increase
in size and beauty for years.
When buying seeds for next sum-
mer's garden do not get cheap
Seeds" Get of a dealer who has q
reputation for selling first-class seeds
even if his price is much higher.
Cheap seed is likely to prove expen-
sive in the end.

He was out walking with a young
lady who had decided antipathy to
cigarettes, but not being aware of
her prejudice, he lighted one of the
little rolls and began smoking with
great gusto, inhaling the fumes deep
into his lungs and then blowing great
rings up at the moon, which gazed

Offended by his presumption, she
said with dangerous urbanity:
"Do you know can read fortunes

pecting youth; "perhaps you'll conde.

"Oh, certainly, if you wish it."
Then she gazed up in the air at the
delicate blue wreaths of smoke. She
hesitatated, evidently puzzled about
something.

"What are the two things"
