WINDOW BOXES.

In the cities, where majority OF the
inhabitants live in great boxes OF
brick, an important part Of any plan
for backyard ornamentation should be
found in the provision of miniature
hanging-gardens in the shape OF win
dow-boxes.
To secure the best results in window
gardening, care should be bestowed on
the construction of the tiny conserva-
tories themselves. The best boxes are
of galvanized tin, fitted snugly into
inches in the window-sills or rested Sc
curely upon ornamental iron brackets
outside the windows. Convenient di-
mensions for window-box are a
height of seven iuches, and width ap-
proximately the same 1t Is important
that number OF small holes be pro-
vided at the bottom of the box, in order
to insure good drainage. AS in the
case of the backyard flower-beds, care
expended upon the soil will be well re-
paid by the results attained in the
floral harvest Indeed, If anything,
greater. care should be bestowed upon
the earthen bed in window conserys
tory than upon the flower-plots in the
yard. The window-box should be pro.
yided first with a layer Of broken bits
Of crockery, this covered with coarse
sand and gravel, bits of charcoal being
scattered about, then all the remaining
space filled with rich garden loam.-

other two miles, which it is anticipated

length.
After it had been operated for years
the company sued for damages. Old
Salt was called as a witness for the
defence. Counsel asked a question
during his examination of Salt which
seemed to the Judge to make it proper
for plaintiffs counsel to go into the
general reputation of the road. He
asked if it were not true that numer'

line.

well, dear, don't think you would
like It, really. For one thing, you
would have to leave nurse, and you
would not like that

To see the president, to shake hand
with him and exchange WORD OF
greeting is the ambition Of every new
conner here who favors the democratic
American custom of handshaking. Re-
Gently a party of over a hundred stu

Cortelyous old desk in the executive
office of the White House, the presl-
dent received his visitors, who filed by
him and out of the other door. AS
revelation in facial expression the fac
es of those entering and those leaving
presented remarkable picture. AS
the line entered every face was intent
and drawn, the feminine members were
busy taking last furtive poke at their
front locks or getting new poise OF
their hats, the masculine members
were as busy assuming an erect and
military carriage and a determined
and strenuous expression. A moment
later the same people emerged after
their handshake. Their faces were
lightened with a look of translated
10y, the hand the president had shaken
with his usual hearty grasp was still
extended and regarded with a sort OF
awestruck admiration. People we're
whispering to each other, Did you
hear what he said?" How nice he did
say Delighted when he spoke to me"
did you sec him smile when l said
