All Halloween.

All Halloween was celebrated in
Rising Sun on Saturday evening
last, in the usual manner-corn
throwing, masked paraders, mis-
placing gates, etc. Several merry
maskers derived a great deal of
pleasure by marching up and
down the streets and paying calls
upon their puzzled friends. There
were all sorts of odd makeups and
costumes, which caused much
amusement to those who were not
active participants in the sport.
This custom of masked parading
among the children, as well as those
who are somewhat beyond that
period of life, appears to be rapidly
replacing corn-throwiDg, door bell
ringing and similar pranks. Later
in the evening gates, panels of
fence, door steps, old wagons, boxes,
etc., began disappearing from their
accustomed places and Sunday
morning were discovered in many
unusual places. Center Square
was blockaded with overturned
wagons, old carriages, etc. At the
public school was barricade OF
gates, fences, ETC., and in other
sections of the town were to be
seen evidences of the pranks of the
Halloween celebraters.

Regarding Two Plants

The proper time to plant out ele-
phant ears is in the latter part Of May
or early in June, and they should oc-
cupy a we'll drained position in light,
rich soil. Keep them well supplied
with water,and occasionally give liquid
manure.
The umbrella palm has long enjoyed
popular favor, and justly. 1t throws
up it's long stems crowned with narrow
leaves arranged in a circle, giving lit
tie trouble to its possessors. 1t thrives
readily i'm good loan, with an admix-
ture Of sand and a little peat, and is so
aquatic in character that too much
water cannot be given it. 1t is a very
hardy plant. and by the division of its
roots may be multiplied speedily. A
shady situation suits it well, and when
in active growth it responds vigorously
to treatments of weak manure water.
The species particularly referred to
here, cyperus alternifolius, attains a
height of from one to two and a-half
feet
