The .old-fashionedY way: Of increasing

consisting Of two Joints with lower
leaves removed, 4and roofing them in
fine soil in August. That *is the only
way OF increasing q stock of any given
variety, as the 5sholl yhock does not
come true from seed. >@'>..> -
The. July number of the Garden
Magazine, however, .. advises growing
from seed, as less troublesome than
the tedious cutting method, and as Sc
curing very satisfactory results from
the new and better varieties Of to-day.
Directions for this mode OF >propaga-
ton are given, and should be put In
practice this month.
> Sow seeds in July in a. drill one
inch deep in sunny, rich soil, leav-
ing plenty of space between the seeds
to allow the young plants to grow
without crowding until y the next
spring-not less tnan four inches.
Inc drills should be 10 inches apart,
TO permit cultivation. either with the
wheel cultivator or hand hoe. At the
approach of winter protect the plants
by light covering of straw and
leaves with the boards placed over all,
both to hold the covering and to shed
water. This is of course best done
by having two boards Joined together
to form an inverted v. II it is de-
sired to keep the colors separate, of
course they must be labeled in the
rows where sown;> but If a mixed bed
of hollyhocks is wanted it is far bet
ter to mix the seeds before sowing,
for somehow or other 1t is hard ITO
plant mixed bed from separate col
ors-at~ least it is hard to get it done
satisfactorily. 80.
when the covering IS removed the
following spring the plants will be in
perfect condition to transplant to the
positions they are to fill in the gar
den. When lifting them take great
care to dig deep and secure intact the
long, f1eshy roots, as they are the
standby of the plants during the stress
OF hot weather and drought. The rea-
son why there are so many hollyhocks
OF only average quality seen, and so
few really good ones, is that INSULT
cient care is given to preparing the
soil. The hollyhock is a plant that
can hardly be overfed, and revels in a
deep, rich soil Double dig the place
where they are to be planted and put
a generous quantity of rich manure
in the trench when reflling it; or
feed freely all through the growing
season with nitrate of soda, one-halt
ounce, and superphosphate and kainit,
one-fourth ounce each, to two gallons
of water. Give this once in three
weeks.
"The all-outdoor cultivation of hol-
,lyhocks is far more sim pie than the
old way aof starting them under glass
and, moreover, gives us plants with
stronger constitution. Treated in this
way as a biennial, it will give better
results than when grown as a peren-
nial."

Luke came striding along the creek
road with haste. He and Capt. Hutch.
inson were to sail over in the Bay
Queen, the trim little sailboat moored
Just over yonder, and land at one OF
the beaches six miles away. They
would sleep in a certain shelter hut
known to all the old salts on the
coast, and be up bright and early to
do a days fishing. Then home again
over the bay on Christmas Eve, and
ho! for the grand Christmas party
Mis- Hutcherson" was to give!
Hi, Luke!" sang out the captain,
hailing him as he came up the path
to the house. "Jes' wonderin' whar'n
Tophet you wuz!"
where's Celeste?" said Luke, his
strong face taking on a gentle look.
She'll be here directly said Mrs.
Hutchinson, evasively.~
Celeste was the daughter of her
first marriage. She had been g

mother who bore her.
Cant wait for no courtin' bizness
to-day" said the old bayman, petulant-
ly who couldn't see how Luke could
fancy Celeste, with her pale face, while
Evylania, his own pretty daughter,
with her poppy-colored cheeks, was
nigh.
"Evy," he called but. she had
slipped away down the path. "Fur's

right mad to see 'em together"
Pierre was young Frenchman who
had played for dancing at the big
summer hotel of the place, and who
now fingered, making music with his
violin for country balls and dances.
AS the Bay Queen glided away from
the shore into open water a CLEAN of
bit of red stuff caught Luke's eye
in a secluded spot on the beach; and
the good bayman's red left his cheek
as he saw Celeste, with a gay scarf
wrapped about her, and the arms OF

A Friendly Talk on How 1t May Be
Attained.
John, go down to the basement and
shut off that furnace; this house is

Down John goes to the cellar, closes
all the drafts and returns to Mary's
side to enjoy his evenings rest
1t is a bitter cold night outside and
John, in his anxiety to keep the house
at comfortable temperature, had
heaped up the furnace with good hard
coal, opened up the drafts and "let
her rum" The result was as Mary
said, the house soon was as hot as an
oven, and John had to take another
trip to the basement to close the
drafts he had an hour previously
opened.
Time passed quietly and pleasantly
in this happy home and John and
Mary sat reading, occasionally chat
ting and thoroughly enjoying their
comfortable evening together.

remarked, land I believe the Their

short time before he had closed.
John was naturally a good-natured
fellow, but when. he returned to his
coy chair he muttered, Il wish I had

sion of metal caused by the change
in the temperature OF the room. AS
the metal in the Thermostat contracts
or expands it comes in contact with
a metal point which is connected with
an open circuit battery and spring
motor which is connected by chains
running over pulleys to the furnace,
so that when either circuit is closed

house."
"That is certainly wonderful" said
John, 'but it will keep the house too
hot for some people and too cold for
others. Different families like differ
ent temperatures"
'That is so,' answered Mary, but
you can set it to any degree of heat you
wish between so and 80 and it will al
ways respond just where you set the
index"
"You certainly have interested me, -
said John, "and I will look into the
matter further. If it will do what you

Certainly; hot water or steam

are made in Minneapolis, by. the Elec'

said John.

And am confident that upon investi-

those demands have been made mere

Her Story.

New York, September l5.-Miss
Fannie Day, young department
store employee Of this city, who was
one Of party of eight persons in a
naphtha launch which was capsized
in the lower bay early to-day, had
the most remarkable escape from
death by drowning that any human
being probably has ever experienced.
Three Of her companions were swept
to the bottom when the launch, with
disabled engines, was run into by a
mud scow. Miss Day had gone down
with the others, and when nothing was
seen Of her for hours afterwards it
was reported that she had met death.
But when the mud scow had been
towed nearly to it's destination and
the deck hands were adjusting the
dumping apparatus at the bottom,
they were startled to find handsome
ly dressed young woman in one of the
pockets. Miss Day had been literally
scooped out of the water by the dump
ing machinery, which had been left
open after the scow had discharged
its last load at sea.
