Plants for Winter Bloom.

Good Housekeeping: 1t is important
to prepare plants early in September,
so that they may be well established
in pots and growing nicely before Win
ter closes in. Palms which have done
good service on the veranda all sum-
mer and which will be required for in
door decoration the coming winter,
should be potted into large! sized pots
if they require it. and the drainage OF
all potted plants made perfect. Cut
tings of coicus and geraniums should
be made now, and inserted around the
edges of four-inch pots filed with light,
sandy soil. These root in a few days,
when they may be potted singly.
OXalis bulbs, of which the best two
species for home use are the large,
Powered pink oXalis BOWEL and the OK
ais flava, must now be potted at once.
as must also the tubers Of that we'll
known delightful South African plant,
freesia refracta. Six or eight of the
tubers in five-inch pot filled with a
light, rich soil is perhaps the best way
TO grow them. Both these and ONalis
must be placed under conditions where
they viii receive plenty of light and air,
and yet will be protected from cold
winds and frost until the weather de-
mands their removal indoors.
Roman hyacinths and paper white
narcissus should be planted now to
have them in flower for Christmas. The
potting of Dutch hyacinths. tulips. mar
cissus and crocuses may be deferred
month, as these should never be
forced before January. All Of these
bulbs must be rooted before they can
be forced, SO that after potting they
should receive a good watering and
then be stored away in the very coolest
part of the cellar for about three
months (Which is the roofing period)
before bringing them into the light
and warmth of the rooms. We prefer
named varieties of these Dutch bulbs
to mixtures, and the kinds we have
found most satisfactory among hyan-
cinths are Gertrude and Roi des Belges,
pink; Innocence and La Grandesse
white; and Car Peter and King of the
Blues. Some of the best varieties Of
tulips for home forcing are Albion and
LIE RENE, white; Mon Tresor and Chry-
solora, yellow; Rose Grisdelin, pink
and Due Van Tholl, scarlet. The Won
Sion, double and single. are, perhaps,
the most satisfactory narcissus, while
the large yellow and Madam Nina
(purple and white) crocuses are the
best for forcing, or, indeed, for any
purpose

Frau Lichtenberg was hairdresser.
Herr Lichtenberg was the night bar

Years ago Frau Lichtenberg gave

she made the rounds and she earned III
the aggregate quite as much as her
husband.
For several years they had both been
saving as much as possible of their
earnings and had put the money all
away in a common fund. Eighteen
months ago the joint savings of the
family amounted to $500. That was
considered Sufficient to launch the great
project.

AimoId Grated on Live oak.

A story OF unusual grating IN vege-
table life II vouched for by Attorney
John J. Wells and H. G. Swain. at Red.
ding, Cal. They say that on the farm
of julius Jensen, on Dibble Creek an
almond has been grated upon a live
oak and a pear onto a mulberry. Mr..
Jensen has been on the place only for
a few years and knows nothing of the
past history of the farm. In the yard
stands a magnificent almond of the
hard shell variety, which produces
every year a crop of large almonds.
The tree forks at the ground. A foot
and a half above the ground, where
n of the branches is twelve inches
In diameter and the other half as
large, each branch suddenly enlarges
and becomes four inches greater in di.
ameter. This spring, to the complete
surprise of Mr.. Jansen, he discovered
an oak shoot putting forth just below
the enlargement on one of the
branches. Examination then showed
that up to the point where the enlarge
ment appears the tree is live oak. Who
did this strange grating, or when, is
unknown. But the fact is plain that
on each branch an almond has been
successfully grated on to a live oak
stump.
In the same yard, and distant only
fifty feet, stands a pear tree. About
five feet above the ground the pear
wood commences; below that is null
berry. Clearly this is a case of pear
being grated upon a mulberry. This
tree produces excellent Bartlett pears.

Is condemned as an extraordinary and
ihtolerable breach of international law,
which has not had d precedent in near

The Morning Post regards it as an
act of war; and asks sarcastically why
Great Britain keeps her navy ON a

British Government is for.
The Standard insists that the Incl

Prime Minister Balfour'S cautious re-

the verbal assurances given that the
British demands anent the Malacca
would be complied with have not yet
been followed by the acts necessary to
give effect to the assurances, while his
extremely circumspect language id

Mourning In Korea.

Koreans wear full mourning for
their fathers. The dress is of hemp
cloth, with a hempen girdle. A face
shield is used to show that the wearer
is a sinner and must not speak to any,
n unless addressed. The costume
is retained for three years, the shield
for three months. This is worn for a
father only. Secondary mourning is
worn for a mother and no mourning
at all for a wife. The hat is of wicker.
During the China-Japanese war the
United States Minister ordered every
American citizen to have in readi-
ness a dress of this sort for disguise
in case of fight.
