CARE OF PALMS.

Once every week the surface Of the
leaves should be sponged of. Gloves
should be worn when the operation IS
performed, as contact with the hand
turns the edges Of the leaves yellow.
Palms should not be watered from
above unless they are Immediately
wiped off, as each drop Of moisture
allowed to stand on the leaf causes
1t to turn yellow. When a room Is
swept or busted, the plants should be
covered, as the dust will otherwise
settle on the leaves and clog the pores
through which the plant breathes.
Most palms and ferns do not like gas
light, and often when left in an at
mosphere charged with it will droOp.
The windows should be opened and
the room well aired twice a day. The
plants should be turned around each
day, so that one side after another is
exposed to the light, as the leaves will
naturally grow out toward the sun
light.

The manner of arranging the stars
In the union Of the American flag has
never been prescribed by an act Of
Congress, and in consequence there
has been a striking lack of uniformity
In this matter. Designs Of the flag
in the keeping Of the Government,
however. show that the early custom
was to insert the stars in parallel
rows across the blue field. This Gus
tom has, 1t Is believed. been observed
in the navy since 1918, at which date
an order from the President directed
such an arrangement TO be made OF
the stars. In the army too, the stars
have always been arranged in horizon
tai rows across the blue field, but not
always in vertical rows; the general
effect, however being about the same
as the naval flag. Hereafter there
will be no difference in the arrange.
ment of the stars between the army
and navy, as an agreement has been
arrived at between the War and Navy
Departments.
While the sizes of the Government
flags are not prescribed by statute
law, they are fixed by regulations Of
the army and navy. which have been
based upon convenience, utility and
beauty, and the exlgelcies Of the ser
vice. The storm and recruiting flags
measure each eight feet in length by
four feet two inches IN width. The
post flag measures 20 feet in length
by 10 feet in width. The garrison
flag, hoisted only on great occasions
and national holidays measures J6
feet in length by 20 feet in width. The
union is always one-third Of the length
OF the flag, and extends to the lower
edge OF the fourth red stripe from the
! top. The national colors carried by
regiments OF infantry and artillery and
the battalion Of engineers are made
of silk. They are six feet six inches
long and six feet wide; the union be-
ing 81 inches in length and extend.

red stripe from the top.

A NEW WAY TO SWEEP.

There is in the doing of little things
even tn homework, a right way and
wrong way-a good way and a bad
way. Consider for a moment the item
of sweeping with a broom. The next
time you undertake it notice your
broom. Do you find that you hold II
or move it rather in front Of you-thN
brush further forward than the handle
each stroke raising the brush and with
it cloud of dust into the air and
space beyond? If so, try this way:
Stand with the broom rather behind
you, partly facing 1.-THE brush fur
Their back than the tip of the handle
Used in this way you will find that the
dust rises no higher than the brush;
that, in fact, little rises, but is gradu-
ally removed to one central point,
where it may be easily gathered into
the dust pan. Swept in this way even
a dusty room may be perfectly tidie6
without discomfort to any person who
may be Obliged 20 remain in it during
The process.-The household Ledger.

The Crop Conditions.

The temperatures for the week as a
whole averaged about normal, The long
continued cool spell came to~an end on
Friday morning, (the 2Ist,) when the
lowest temperature of $50 and 4oo were
observed at few stations, and light
frosts were reported to have occurred in
low places in parts of the upper counties.
Since then warm weather has prevailed,
the temperature quickly reaching 900
and above in the enclosed valleys, and
rising quite generally elsewhere towards
that point as the week closed. The rain
fall for the week was irregularly distrib
uted, the western and central districts
receiving the least amounts, measuring
for the most part from tenth to a fourth
OF an inch. A backward state in crop
conditions and outlook continued as long
as the cool, wet and cloudy weather
lasted, but with the change to warmth
and bright sunshine all vegetation expe-
rienced great relief. An uninterrupted
sway of such weather conditions for a
week will practically assure fair to good
yields in corn, as well as greatly increase
the yield in tomatoes, and with light
showers following to facilitate final plow-
ing and the beginning of wheat seeding,
the farmers and truckers would have but
little ground for complaint. AS it is, the
brief period of warmth and sunshine has
already been productive of good results.
