Winter Helps for the Amateur Florist

See that your plants get fresh air
whenever it can be given them safely.
This means that cold air should be so
admitted that it is mixed with the air
of the room before it reaches the plants
themselves. Give your plants the
benefit of light and sunshine if you
wish them to do well. Water only
when the surface of the soil looks dry.
This rule cannot be deviated from
with safety by the amateur. The ex-
perienced gardener will frequently dis
cover conditions which make 1t safe
for him to vary or modify it, but these
the amateur will not discover. and it is
not possible to lay down any instruc-
tons by which they may be discov-
cred. Overwhelming does untold harm,
as 1t causes sourihg of the soil, and
brings on decay Of the roots. Apply
fertilizers only when a plant is grow
ing. for hen. and then only, can it
make use of them. Begin with a sma II
quantity of whatever fertilizer you
use, and increase the amount as the
plant increases in growth. being care
ful not to cverdo the matter.

A Unique Idea.

One of the most unique plans the writer
ever saw for pairing players at whist
party was the employment of thumb
marks. When the guests arrived they
were requested 10 dip the right thun:b
in saucer. which had been blackencd
by kerosene smoke. then to leave the
impression on a small card Under this
impression the name was written. 1T
soon appeared that no thumb marks
were alike. although one might bear a
slight resemblance to another in general
characteristics. The gentleman who
found lady with thumb that had any
likeness to his own carried Ter off as his
Iartner. At the end there are sure to he
IL few unfortunatcs left whose thumb
likeness is 50 much left to the magma
ton that a single whorl or way line
sometimes has to stand for the decision.

The New Year.

On the threshold of the New Year we
talk of the words that were spoken, the
deeds that were done. the lives that
We're lived. and we say. 20. they were
last year." Although between the old
and the new there is no visual line. yet
there is division between the two,
and on this line we stand for a little,
and look back over the course We are
to take. We greet one another here
while the spirit of Christmas fingers in
our hearts and bid God-speed as we
turn our faces from the old to the new
The youth with all the impetuosty Of
life is looking forward to the New
Year, eager for the coming days
which he fOndly hopes will bring him
the realization of his most cherished
dreams. The middle age bravely looks
into the future with calm unflinching
gaze. noble and strong in action, un-
wavering in purpose; resolved to con-
quer at all hazards. While the aged
quietly await the coming event, of
which the past years have cast their
shadows before.
Each age has it's hopes and fears.
Each age longs to meet. dare and con-
quer in the conflicts of life. The pre-
vaiing idea that youth is the period of
greatest joy is so grossly supe' iicial
and wrong that one is constantly sur
prised at theocOmplacency with which
it is received, especially by the y Dung
themselves. who appear to regard
their elders with pity. In point % fact
it would seem as though every well
regulated person. who as passed f: lfely
through the difficulties and whirl POOLS
of youth must congratulate himself
thereon, and rejoice that they are not
still ahead of him. The almost uni
vcrsal prejudice in favor of youth
seems absurd, in the face of the testi-
monty of some of our wisest men.
which goes to prove that every period
of life has its peculiar joys, their
quality constantly rising in spiri ual-
ity and depth as the years so by.
One of the eternal laws of life is that
the careful use of any faculty increases
its power. as the sailors vision, the
athletes strength, the artists skill and
taste and the musicians power. Hence
we see that the only way to enlarge our
sphere is to fill to overlooking the
sphere we are in. Be it good or evil it
rests with us to fill life's chalice t. the
brim as the foam and sparkle disap-
pears with youth. shall we find be-
meath. the clear nectar of success, or
the bitter dregs of disappointment?
On the dawn of the New Year. 1902,
we look backward for experience to
guide us and forward into the future
With renewed hopes. Not limited by
years, not burdened by their weight
but remembering that
I'VE live in deeds, not years. in thoughts.

ne Riaht Way 10 Bake Potatoes.

Wash and clean the skins OF the po-
tatoes Without breaking. Put them
on the crate in a moderately heated
oven. If the oven is too hot the skins
will at once harden, forming a non
conducting surface, preventing the es-
cape OF water. Potatoes baked In this
way are heavy and waxy. indigestible
and unpalatable. As soon as the pu-
tato is soft upon slight pressure OF the
finger, remove 1t from the oven. Take
it in your hand. which should be. pro-
tected with napkin or toweD and
carefully work the potato as though
you were MASKING It in the skin, being
very careful not to break the skin.
When the potato seems soft and mealy
throughout put it back on the crate in

potatoes have been subjected to this
