Ferns In Pots.

Many persons have given up grow
ing ferns in rots on account Of poor
success with them. They get. fine
plants from the florist and in a few
months they go to pieces. There are
but few things to know in order to
keep ferns in good condition. and
have them increase in beauty from
year to year, says an authority. They
must be grown in a moist atmosphere.
II kept in hot, dry room they will do
no good. For this reason they do
poorly in rooms heated by steam or
hot water, unless provision is made
for adding moisture to the air. A
room heated by hot-air heater which
has an evaporating pan is the best for
ferns. Also the soil must be kept
moist at all times, yet be well drained.
The soil should be made up of peaty
loan, one part, and leaf mold one part,
and handful of bone-meal to pot.

the necessity of equipping each voter
with the intelligence necessary to
make a wise choice when opposing

saw, q wise investment. The gov

Now Floating Fortre..e..

The latest weapon of man is float
ing fortress for coast defense pur-
poses. This fighting machine, which
is called the Cerberus, lacks in every
line of beauty. 1t is nothing more
nor less than a perfectly round float
ing fort, about 200 feet in diameter,
heavily protected by impenetrable
thicknesses of armor plate and
equipped with batteries of heavy
guns far too large to be mounted upon
any ordinary warship. The idea Of
the invention was suggested by a
small but strongly fortified island.
The new fighting ship makes no pre-
tense at attaining high speed. On the
other hand, 1t is maintained that with
the aid Of such floating fortresses the
Japanese could have effectively bot
tied up Port Arthur without the aid
of their huge fleet.

Russian Censorship In the Future to
Be Less Severe.
M. Michael de Krivocklik for many
years has been keeping an eye on all
newspapers entering and published in
Russia. He has power to strike out
anything which he considers danger
GUS for the Russian people to know,
and his authority was so great that
he was even privileged to cut out
paragraphs from the foreign news
papers intended for the personal use
Of the czar. The recent decree of the
car to abolish the censorship Of the
press will relieve Krivochlik Of q
great deal Of his responsibility. The
new Russian press law is almost
similar to that in force in Germany
newspapers are allowed to print
almost anything, but the editors are
made responsible for anything appear

NJ. Pobiedonostseff. the notoriously
fanatical, reactionary procurator of
the holy synod. who is one of the
greatest obstacles to reforms in Rus
sia, now has to deal with q revolt In
the church itself, which has Joined
the people against the bureaucracy
and is demanding greater freedom in
the spiritual and administrative life
of the church. This demand is voiced
in a manifesto issued by group of
st. Petersburg priests and in letter
by Bishop Dmitri. and is aimed
directly at the procurator, whose pow
er to obstruct reforms is regarded as
paralyzing the church. M. Pobiedono-
stsefY was born at Moscow in 1927.
and educated at st. Petersburg, where
he studied at the Imperial school Of
Jurisprudence to the hereditary Grand
Duke Nicholas and many grand dukes
of Russia, and has been a member Of

Lace Erocks

Be 1t black or white, lace dress is
more useful for an afternoon costume
than almost any other sort of gown.
For one thing deep lace gown will
frequently do service in the evening
for the theater or when staying tenn
porarily at some hotel, besides which
1t is the kind of dress which. made up
now, can be worn right through the
year, being equally appropriate at all
seasons.
Now IS certainly the best time to
have lace gown made up, for it will
then be ready for the spring weddings,
luncheons, and bridge" afternoons,
besides which it is always easier to
get ones costumes bought and fitted
before the great rush commences.

The pointed girdle and corselet
bodices need fully developed figures,
therefore the very youthful evening

draping the shoulders and falling
wide over the full elbow sleeves. The
skirts Of the frocks follow the prevail
ing mode-wide and round, gathered
or plated at the waist and trimmed
with ruffies or flounces about the
tower half. Decided favor is being
shown velvet as trimming on sheer
fabrics just at present. though this
may be varied by ribbon rufiies set ON

Englishman Thinks They Are the
Greatest Surgeons.
Sir Frederick Treves, the great Eng
lish physician and surgeon, says in
his notes of travel: There is every
probability that the Japanese school
of surgery will become great school,
for the native of Japan has qualities
which are excellent in the making Of
q surgeon; he is not troubled by
nerves; he is infinitely patient, fas-
tidiously clean, as well as most neat
and dexterous with his hands. More
over, he has love Of ritual as we'll
as of precision in ritual, and in the
prosecution Of antiseptic surgery this
counts for much. The Japanese are
shrewdly observant, nimble of appre-
hension, receptive and of large mind
ed and catholic views. 1t is said that
they are neither logical nor profound.
II this be true they seem to have
come to small i'll from the lack of
tbase qualities"
