HOUSE PLANTS FOR THE WINTER
Some of the Varieties Which are Easiest
to Grow Indoors.

The best time to get decorative plants
to be grown indoors during the winter
is early IN September. All that season
artificial heat and high, moist tempera-
ture have been dispensed with, and
plants are growing more naturally than
at any other time in the year. There
are but few which one can expect to
grow well in the house in winter. The
aspIdistra is a plant which cannot be
killed by ordinary neglect. Give it all
the water it needs, an occasional appli-
cation OF fertilizer, and a reasonable
amount of light. The agave is a state
ly plant, and we'll grown specimen
always attracts attention. Fd-the
ball it will be found quite as ornamen-
tai as palm. Because of the semi
succulent nature of the foliage it will
not require much water except when
it is growing. Asparagus Sprengeeri
Is another plant which grows as we'll
for the veriest amateur as it does for
the owner of a greenhouse. Plant it
in soil OF rich loan, and give it lib
eral allowance of water when it needs
1t, shady place to grow in, and fre-
quent shower bath. Begonias are not
often classed among the very robust
plants, but there is one variety which
| have found sure to grow well under
difficulties. This variety is b argentea
guttata. Give it soil of sandy loan,
well drained. Be careful not to over
water. but shower it freq uently.-Eben

OUGHT TO GET THEM.
Humorous Requisition for Fly Screens
From a Southern Ofieehoider.

Queer requests often reach the heads
OF the Executive Department at Wash
ington from officials of the Govern
ment out in the fields of Uncle Sans
operations.
The custodian of Federal building
ln southern town wants the Treasury
officials to authorize the placing of fly
screens in the windows of the building
over which be has control. The custo-
dian makes strong case. He admits
that the Government is not in the ehablt
of putting fly screens in public build
ings, but he says his building should
be an exception for the reasons be
gives. He says:
"This office, to proceed at once to
the point is at times, notably when the
temperature changes, the victim of a
fly pest that would have started Moses
out of Egypt sixty days sooner than
Pharoah moved him. 1t would move
anything but an officer-holder.
The walls. pictures, furniture, win
dows, curtains and crockery are all de-
filed and defaced. Ny commission,
bearing the flowing signature of our
honored Chief Executive, hanging be
fore me at this writing, looks like a
map of the Pacific archipellago; the
looking glass beyond like target of a
shotgun tested at forty PAGES.
''There have been days when it has
taken ten sheets of fly paper in this
one room to interest such flies as were
not already stuck on the postmaster or
custodian, and careful computation
Of th Office statistician disclosed the
fact that on one day 4, 900 of the insects
had persisted. We got this result by a
count of the victims; there seemed to
be no vacancies in the ranks of the sur
vivors.

one horse sanitarium, with operating
tables; one fish morgue, two shops for
beef that should have been embalmed.

The popular view of the relation of
the blood to human character and con-
duct is marked in many familiar ex-
preston. We speak of there being
'bad blOod' between people at enmity,
of ''blue blood" as indicating ancestry,
of "black blood as describing treach
erous nature. and in many another
phrase mark our belief that in the men
tai, moral and physical man, 1.-The
blood is the life." The one basis of a
healthful, happy and useful life is pure
blood. With the blood pure, disease
has no permanent lodging place in the
system. For this reason the use of DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery rids
the body of diseases which have their
origin In impurlty of the blood. 1t ab-
solutely purifies the blood, carrying off
the waste and poisonous matter, in
creasing the action of the blood MAX
ing glands, and building up the body
by supplying the blood in quantity and
quality such as is essential to condi-
ti0n of health. 1t cures ninety-eight
people out of every hundred who give
1t fair trial.

A Handkerchief Worth $1,000.

Among some superb photographs of
1.-The Handsomest Laces in America, -
which occupy double page in the
Ladies' Home Journal for September.
is shown an exquisite handkerchief
valued at $1,000. When one closely ex-
amines the weblike film, and the re-
markable detail of the dainty design,
this sum seems none too much to pay
for such piece of work. Its making
doubtless occupied the greater part of
one woman's life. The handkerchief is
now the property of the Drexel In
stitute in Philadelphia, to which it
was presented by the widow of Geo.
W. Childs, the famous journalist and
philanthropist. The other beautiful
laces shown on that page are owned in
New Y ork and Boston, most of them
being included in the collection loaned
to the Metropolitan Museum of Art by
Mrs. Astor. This collection is valued
at the enormous sum of $4,000.

A Child Again.

Many persons who happened to b
near Ninth avenue and Twenty fiftl
street on Saturday night found /
worth their while to stop and watct
with intere a curious group on
doorstep there. The central figur,
t was an old, old woman. poorly dressed
-miserably in fact-but evidently a
, jolly companion for half dozen clild.
ren.
Patrolman Willimese, noticing the
crowd and hearing the laughter of the
children, stopped to see what it ali
meant. He caught sight of the old
woman's face and saw that it wore the
smile of an infant. Her mind evident
ly was gone and imagining that she
was child again she was playing
merrily all the cunning little games
that had come back to her from
memory that failed her in all else.
The policeman asked the woman her
| name and where she lived. The SIN lie
faded away and with a frightened look
she said that she was doing no harm
and only wanted to play with the
children again. When he took her to
the police station she only could say
again, in German, that she did not
know who she was or where she lived.
She had been wandering about for a
long time in the rain, as her clothes
Were soaked through, her gray hair
bedraggled and her shoes filled with
waHr.
The sergeant asked if she were hun
CRY and she said no. though she was
totteriug with weakness. He sent out !
for hearty meal, which she simply |
devoured. Then he gave her what dry |
clothing be could find and stretched a |
blanket for the poor creature on the
floor. She then went to sleep as quick
ly as child. after mumbllng a few
words in German that might have
been thanks or baby prayer come
back to her shattered mind.
Sunday morning she was taken to
the jefferson Market Court, and.
noticing her great age, Magistrate
Mayo said he was most unwilling to
commit her as a vagrant, but there
was nothing else to do. The papers
were being made out when Ia white
haired old man limped into the court
room. He said he was Michael Boyer
len, an employe of the Street cleaning
and the woman was his
Barbara, who lived at No. 339
East Forty-first street. She paid no at
tenti0n to her son and he explained
that her mind was blank most of the
time and that her only enjoyment was
in playing with children.
How old is she?" asked the Magis-
trate. Zone hundred and one,n said
the son. II am more than go, but am
able to care for her yet. Let her come
with me and l will watch her care.

NO PART IN ELECTION

All Candidates Of Party Withdraw

Asked to Resign.

Havana, Dec. 21.-The supporters
of General Maso in his candidacy for
the presidency of the republic have
decided to take no part in the com
ing elections, on December 81. All
the candidates of the party have been
withdrawn, and the Maso members of
the provincial boards have been re-
quested to resign. These steps were
decided on after the reception of a
letter from the governor general re-
fusing to grant the party representa-
ton on the board of scrutiny or an
extension of time, in which to modify
the voting districts. At a meeting
of the party leaders a resolution was
adopted declaring that "The central
board is a coalition of partisans and
General Maso, after ~exhausting ev-
cry means to insure impartiality, rec

who are DESTROYS of independence
and anxious to freely elect their first

1t was voted to inform Secretary
Root Of the decision arrived at and
also to publish the manifesto to the
country.
Besides having the s~o-called con-
servatives with him, Maso is said to
have a strong following among the
blacks in the country districts and it
is intimated in Havana tonight that
this element may not take kindly to
the condition of things, and may
cause trouble. Maso's conservative
leaders, however, say they have no
fear.

APPROPRIATION EXHAUSTED.
Bureau of Animal Industry Out o
Funds for Meat Inspection.

/, Washington, Dec. 20.-Secretary
Wilson today stated that a discontin-
uance of microscopic inspection of
meats sent abroad would mean the
entire suspension of exports and lose
to the United States $20,0OO,O00 an
nually sold to Germany. The lack
of funds, he explained, was due to the
increased work of the past year and
two weeks leave of absence granted
each employee Of the bureau outside
of this city which necessitated the
employment of additional men. Sec.
rotary Wilson said he has asked con,
gress to make part of the appropria'
ton for the coming year Immediately
available and he had no doubt con
gress will grant this authority, as it
has done in previous years. 81 have
no doubt" he added, 'that microscop
ic inspection will proceed notwith
standing the notice given the packing
interests through the bureau of ami

Chinese Christians Who Viii! Return
to Their Homes-Murdered
Converts EuIogized.

Pekin, Dec. 20.-The officials of
Tung Chow have given a number OF
native Christians who were massacred
last year a remarkable funeral. This
action was taken in accordance with
an agreement between the mission
aries and the officials by which the
missionaries were to refrain from de-
handing the punishment of those
guilty of numbering the Christians if
the officials would make public atone
ment for the crimes and impress the
proper respect for the missionaries
and converts. The funeral procession
travelled the principal streets of the
walled city Of Tung Chow. There
were 20 collins to be buried and these
were followed by hundreds of rela-
tives of the victims. The procession
was composed of a company of Chi
nese cavalry, a company of infantry,
several bands and hundreds of men
carrying guady funeral emblems. The
procession took two hours to pass the
reviewing stand, where were gather
ed the city officials, General Ma, COM
mander of the Chinese troops who be-
seiged Tein Tsin, Mr.. Conger, Amer
lean minister to China, and many
American and English missionaries.
An immense crowd gathered and wit
messed the funeral services at the
cemetery. The Chinese troops, the
missionaries and the white clad
mourners in the center lear the grave,
Chinese officials from villages where
the Christian converts had been mas
sacred attended the funeral and bow
ed before the banners and they eulo-
gized the Christians for having died in
defense of their faith. Those officials
subsequently signed documents guar
%anteeing protection to the Chinese
Christians it they would return tC
their homes.
The missionaries and the Chinese
Christians travelled in a special train
from Pekin to Hung-Chow. After the
funeral services in the temple the
Chinese officials rendered a banquet
to the missionaries and the converts
Similar funerals will be held il
other towns.
