VINES FOR HOT PLACES.
Two Varieties which VIII Stand Any Amount
OF Drought.

The western or southern side of a build

OF plant, especially a vine, but some there
are which seem veritable ~salamanders in
their ability to stand unscathed such a hot
location.
Among these Indoors and Out recommends

stand a year drought without injury. The
foliage Is attractive, and 1t bears an immense
quantity of creamy white flowers of a thick.
waxy texture. Once established, it covers
an immense amount Of space and for this
reason should be given liberal room when
planting.
Another vine which thrives in hot, sunny
situations is the Cobea scandens. This,
while not hardy, being started each spring
from seed sown in house or hotbed, is SO
rapid a grower that it will cover quite as
much space as a perennial vine. When
grown on a stone wall or on trees the ten
drills cling to anything within reach.
The blossoms are large and ,gloxiniGike

shades OF lavender, mauve and purple az
the flowers develop, ending at last in the

When the period of bloom is over the

When grown on porches or wood it should
be provided with Irvine or wire netting for
support. 1t should be we'll watered in hot,
dry weather, but during damp weather
should not receive any water. An occa-
sional drink Of liquid manure during the
blooming period will be of benefit.
II desired its roots may be taken up In
the fall and wintered over in the con-
servatory or greenhouse, where they will
continue in bloom during the winter and
may be planted out again during summer.
The seeds Of the cobPa are much addicted
to decay, and in planting they should be
moderately moist.

HOUSE INTERIOR LIKE SHIP.
Owner Says He q Always Feel as II He
Was at Sea-.

From The NeU Orleans im,s-Democrdf
One of the most originally constructed
houses In the United States is owned and oc-
cupied by Ca pit. NJ, p. Doullut. president Of the
Louisiana Navigation and Fisheries Company.
at Egania and North Peters streets. Capt.
Doullut states that he built the hous In
which to end his days, and to suit himself.
He likes tosfeel that he is aboard a vessel
even when he is at home. and the interior
Is 30 constructed as to suggest this at all
times. The house overlooks the river and the
captains vessels land directly in front when
they are in port. From the cupola the captain
can stand and see the lights of Canal street 10
the right and those OF Chalmette to the left.
The plan of this house was originated by
Capt. Doullut. Twice he tore up plans and
was not satisfied until he had made them
different from anything he had ever seen.
and he has travelled considerably. The house
was built by Capt, Doullut and his crew OF
boat builders, and one year was occupied In
is construction. 1t cost about $1,000.
This house Is "a feet square. surrounded by
an iron fence, with cement pavements. Tho
rooms resemble the interior OF a ship: there are
port holes. "ompanionways for stairs. and the
lower floor. in which is located the store
room. bears IA striking resemblnce to the
hull of an ocean going vessel. The lower
story is Of brick, the upper of frame. The
roof. of slate, is modelled after the Japanese
style. The caves and cornice are built di-
rectly from japanese patterns.
The house is ceiled with pressed steel and
finished as deliberately as the saloon Of a ship.
The cupola is constructed exactly like n pilot
house, and has windows all around. II a
breeze IL blowing the captain il sure to catch
it there. Tie gallery is continuous. and at
any time the owner can swing his hammock
so as to be in the shade. Electric lights are
used for illuminating, and everything IL
situated so that it is unnecessary to leave
the house for anything. even the cistern
being located OH the gallery.
There is an entrance to the yard on Egania
street. but from North Peters it is necessary
to climb to the top of the levee. where one
goes down a walk built like a %eangplank.
Capt. Doullut is satisfied that he has a house
the like OF which cannot be found anywhere
in the State. and he takes great pride In show
ing friends over II.
