FLOWER AND TREE.

Keep begonias where the air is not
too dry, and they will not drop their
leaves.
In watering house plants sufficient
should be given to soak the soil thor
oughly.
A tree Is nearly dormant i'm winter,
especially one that has been lately
transplunted.
Plants In dormant state require
very little water during the winter,
and an excess will cause decay.
Drenching rosebushes with strong
quassia tea is II good curative of bugs
aud other destructive insects and pests.
To root cuttings quickly fill a saucer
full of sand, into which the slips may
be set. Keep the sand the consistency
of mud.
Never give up decaying rosebush
until YOU have tried watering it two or
three times week with SCOT tea for
short time.
Reporting of plants becomes neces-
sary for two reasons-the plant uses
up the available fertility in the soil
and fills the pots with roots.
To prevent crotched trees from split
ting after they come into bearing twist
and fasten two small limbs together,
and as the stem grows it will prevent
splitting.
Cuttings of quick growing herbace-
Gus plants, like heliotrope, verbcna,
phlox, geraniums, root quickly, chrys-
antllemums quickest OF all. Choose
cuttings when the plants are most Wig
orous.

Quaint Plea For "a Pension.

All sorts of special pleas have been
made In applications for pensions. One
of tho most ludicrous was made in
Portland When the applicant was
asked is he ever served in the army or
navy, he said, NO" Asked as to
what grounds he based his application
on, he said that he was in eastern Or
egon when the Indians went on the
warpath; that in making for point of
safety he and some other men were at
tackled by the Indians, one of the other
men being killed and another wounded.
He escaped on account of the feetness
of his horse, but the encounter caused
him such excitement that he had had
occasional fits ever since, and on ac-
count of the fits lie thought he was en-
