Caring For Palms.

The part of 4 palm which supplies
the plant with nutriment Is found at
the root of the rising stem. where there
are leaves which are attached in an
odd way. reminding one of bulb.
In order to ascertain II the plant is in
need of water give sharp tap on the
pot in which 1t is growing. II this
gives out hollow ring. water is need.

Is the response. 1t has plenty Of mois.
ture In the soil. The quantity Of mois-
ture In the earth may also he judged
by lifting the pot.
1t Is useless to merely moisten the
earth on the top. This will only leave
the deeper roots dry. Always See that
the water runs through the hole in
the bottom Of the pot. The water be-
fore being put on should be warmed
to about the temperature Of the room
In which the plant stands.
Once every week the surface Of the
leaves should be spOnged. Gloves
should be worn when this operation Ia
performed. as contact with the hand
turns the edges OF the leaves yellow.
Palms should not be watered from
above unless they are Immediately af-
terward wiped. as each drop Of mois.
ture allowed to stand on the leaf
causes It to turn yellow. When room
Is swept or busted the plants should
be covered. as the dust will otherwise

Henry Clay Pierce. st. Louis million.
aire and President Of the Mexican Cen

on $35. 1000 worth Of fish stored In bis
private hatcheries on the Brule River,
near Nebagamop. Wis. and Is threat
ened with 4 lawsuit by the authorities
OF that place. Mr.. Pierce has expressed
a willingness to pay taxes on tie real
and personal properties belonging to
him, but denies absolutely that the fish
are taxable. The authorities are anx-
ious TO have him pay the taxes. and
then bring suit for the recovery Of the
amount, but this he has refused to do
Legal opinions obtained by Mr..
Pierce unite in tie conclusion that
there is no precedent for the collection
OF these taxes. Even in England.
where the protection Of fish and game
against poachers Is we'll established
