EARLY PLANTS.

Every Indiana farmer knows that If
he raises plenty Of early cabbage and
tomatoes and has hot beds, he must
depend on the housewives window
garden for plants and should not COM
plain when asked to prepare soil for
same. for his own family use. The
good wife will have the more tedious
task in caring for the plants and should
be consulted as to the size of boxes,
If the common cigar box is not used,
and it is surprising how many plants
can be raised in so small space. The
cabbage for Indiana gardens should
be in the boxes early in the season,
and the tomatoes soon after, They
should have south window If possi-
bic to get the midday sun. BE sure
to turn your boxes every day, so the
plants will not grow crooked, buy the
earliest seed and the seed that you
think is acclmated, then do not rush
your plants; they will be very tender
and easy to chill The cabbage should
be placed in the garden as soon as the
frost is out Of the ground; they will
have to be covered at night If there
is the least danger Of their getting
chilled You will get your reward in
about six weeks after setting your
plants l find it much better than to
depend on the grocer for cabbage for
early harvest. If you depend on the
hot house gardener you will have to
wait week or ten days and then not
get what you wish, and only about
half enough; there is a constant drain
on the beds until they are exhausted.
If you have more plants than you
can use, sell the remaining ones by the
dozen, and renew your supply Of seeds
for your immediate use, such as onion
sets, early sweet corn. you will find
plenty Of ruts to I'll in, the change will
not come amiss. The farmer who has
never tried such a little lning as a
window garden for plants, will have
no idea what a great help it is The
boxes must be perforated so the plants
will not be too wet. The plants must
be kept above the freezing point or all
will be lost and no proht,-M, II. F., in

A USE FOR OLD NEWSPAPERS,

Here is a hint that the writer got
from the head clerk Of big hotel Mt
a popular Indiana health resort, We
know the germs that lurk in dust,
and how disagreeable, as well as un-
healthy 1t is TO inhale It while sweep
ing. Now the way that the carpet
sweepers at this resort keep down the
dust while welding the broom, is to
wet newspapers, wiring them out slight
ly, and tearing them into small pieces,
scatter them all over the surface they
are going to sweep. The little dampen.
ing brlghtens the carpets without In
juring them in the least and the moist
paper eifectually keeps down the dust,
or at least the greater portion Of 1t, by
catching 1t on itself. The paper is
then burnt, which is the quickest and
neatest way Of getting rid of it. Where
brussels carpet has become somewhat
dingy, the water in which the paper
is wet might have a little turpentine
added to it, rs it has refreshing and
Frightening effect and has n tendency
to keep the carpet free Of insects and
moths.
One way to prevent the dust from en-
tcrlng the throat and lungs while
sweeping Is TO tic small sponge
over the mouth and nose. A person
can breathe all right through the por-
Gus sponge, and it takes up the dust
which would otherwise be inhaled

THE BEST IRIS.

The real Japanese iris may be ns
easily grown as the potato, says a
writer in the Garden Magazine. More
over, 1t is perfectly hardy. High, dry
lands do not suit its moisture loving
roots but good garden soil, enriched
with thoroughly decayed manure, deep
ly dug In and well watered during May
and June-the blossom months in the
Northeastern United States-will pro.
duce flowers Of wonderful size. Do
not select shady place for your irlses.
They thrive under full exposure to the
sun, but moisture they must have to
bloom their best, and sometimes their
roots viii penetrate two feet deep to
get It, Naturalized in the water gar
den, where the tall, narrow blade-like
leaves rise in phalanxes around the
shore, and the stately beauty Of the
flowers is reflected In the mirror below,
they are ideally situated; but let no
one forego the delight of growing Jap
anese irlses merely because he has
not pond or stream on his place.
Some exceedingly fine specimens have

USEFUL FACTS TO KNOW.

Here are few suggestions in regard
to the things which a careful house
wife may find it wise to teach the new
maid.
Teach her to put as much furniture
rs possible outside the room before
beginning to sweep, to brush the rest
and cover 1t with dust cloths.
Teach her to soak newspapers In cold
water. squeeze them, tear them into
bits, and sprinkle on the floor to pre-
vent dust flying.
Teach her to rub the carpet well after
sweeping with a cloth wrung out OF
clean ammonia water-one tablespoon.
full to two quarts OF water.
Teach her to wipe the polished floor
with n damp cloth and then rub with
a dry one.
Teach her to cover a soft broom with
n clean cloth, and brush the ceilings
and walls.
Teach her to clean the windows while
the dust is settling
Teach her to use a fat paint brush
for window frames and latches.
Teach her TO remove the spots or
finger marks on white woodwork with
n cloth wrung out Of warm water and
dipped in prepared chalk.-Amerlcan

The small hats are worn with street
costumes Of tailor-made severity; the

FOR ROUND sHoULDERED GIRLS

Although gymnastics are so prevalent
these days, there is danger for the
young growing girls becoming round
shouldered, and probably no one suf-
fers greater agony of modification than
the girl or woman with this affllction.
The girl Of fourteen can easily avoid
round shoulders and cultivate an erect
carriage If she will. First Of all, 1t is
necessary for her to become accus-
toned to sleeping without a pillow
A pillow pushes the shoulders forward,
and the pillow habit, moreover, is an
unnatural one, which civilized folks
have cultivated. Babies do not require
them and they rather object when one
is placed under their little heads.
All day long the round shouldered
girl should walk as though she We're
balancing q book on her head, and If
she cannot keep this thought in her
mind, let her remember to keep the
back Of her neck pressed against her
collar. This will keep the head and
shoulders erect, and help to acquire q
good carriage. To strengthen the shoul-
der muscles and broaden the chest take
this exercise every day lfty times in
the morning and fifty times at night
Standing in a doorway, spread both
arms until the hands touch the door
ledge on either side on level with the
shoulders. Grasp the ledge firmly and
then step forward as far as you can
without removing the hands from their
position. Now step backward as far
as possible. Walk back and forth in
this manner the given number of times.
Each time the muscles Of the chest are
brought into action. When you are
seated in a chair be sure that your
spine is straight and have it touch
the back Of the chair, If the growing
girl would remember these things and
watch herself constantly, she would
have no need for gymnastic exercises
when she grows up.-Newark Adver-
tiser.

HOME REQUISITES.

A home may he fitted out in luxurious
style, and yet If lacking in small con.
veniences, be destitute of comfort.
No mere artist or furnisher can sup
ply these. The mother or daughters
must attend to them. the little things
needed in daily experience.
From the want Of them may result
innumerable slight embarassments or
even serious trouble.
Anyone who has felt in the dark for
matchbox, only to find it gone from
its place, knows the disappointment
that ensues.
One who has required n string in a
hurry understands the perplexity that
may arise from the want Of a ball Of
twine or box or bag filled with short
cords.
1t is troublesome when one wishes
to write a memorandum and has no
lead pencil at hand. If the pencil be
accessible but pointless, matters seem
all the worse.
How easy it is TO take n stitch in

hand, and how difficult when the case
is vice versa!

expedites the work Of the needle

AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT.

l notice in The Epltomist n plan by
V, Leah Ketterlng to retard the growth
OF fruit trees In the spring In order to
lessen the chances of injury by late
frosts. The idea seems to be good
one and as we are informed, Is sue
cessful, yet an experiment that can be
conducted by any one would appear to
knock the bottom out Of the theory.
The experiment is this: Through a
window or other opening draw a
branch Of pear peach, plum, cherry
or apple, and IL there are fruit buds
on the branches so treated, they will
in few days burst into full bloom,
while the roots of the trees may be all
the while be in the chill grasp Of WIN
ter. The branches may be cut off the
trees brought indoors and the same re-
suits will follow This is pretty good
evidence that the warm air and bright
sunshine of early spring often swell
the buds while the root system is still
asleep. Reasoning thus some growers
practice spraying peach and plum
trees with whltewash in order that the
tops may absorb as little rs possible
Of the suns rays,-J. +, Thomas, in

Lake City, June 22.-Edith Brown,
aged Is, kidnapped her two little sisters
aged years and 8 months, respective
ly, yesterday, and left for parts UNI
known, money for the trip being Sc
scured from her mothers pocketbook.
After long search it was discovered
that she had gone to Perry, and was
enroute to the homo of her grand
mother, Mrs. Clarke, at Minburn.
1t seems the girl got into a spat with
her older sister. the two having been
sent out to pick strawberries. She
left the patch and went to the house,
where she secured the babies and took
the money from her mothers purse.
At Perry, she told several that her
mother was dead. and that she had
cared for the children for several
months She claimed her father treat
ed her cruelty, and that she was en-
route to her grandmother's to make her
home.
The city marshal at Perry has been
notified to arrest her and bring her
back. He thought last night that she
had already departed from Perry to
Minburn.
Prior to the discovery that she had
left on the train, half the town here
was out looking for her, it being fear
ed that she had been kidnapped or had
rashly committed suicide.
