LOUISA TESLA
GETS FIVE MONTHS

Louisa Tesla, whose desire to lead a
better life led her into surrendering TO
the police on Wednesday morning, was
given a five months sentence yester-
day by Judge Whitney. This is what
Louisa wanted. Frank Grau will also
serve a coterminous term, although he
expressed no desire to that effect. Both
were charged with vagrancy.
George Markham, who had poisoned
two dogs belonging to H. Wegesend,
and who had also breathed bloody
threats against the lives of Abraham
Kekai and the Kekai family, was UP
for trial on both charges, being re-
manled until fter New Years.

In
The first place linen never should be
starched. 1t is a common mistake that
many housekeepers make, but nothing so
detracts from the appearance and life or
good linen as starch. Some women imag-
Inc that everything that goes through the
laundry should be bathed in starch. One
fair matron is said to have starehed her
handkerchiefs.
Perhaps there is some stuff that mas
querades under the name of linen that one
has to fortify With certain starchiness.
but the genuine linens. never. One should
be careful to rinse the piece thoroughly In
good. clean water and then give 1t plenty
OF light and air. It should be ironad damp
as to get the fine sheen characteristic OF
weli-iaundered linens. II linen is ironed
dry or nearly so it gets fuzzy.
1t pays TO take abundant time and pains
In the laundering OF table linen. For moth
ing except perhaps fine horse responds
with equal rapidity to good handling
There is sheen and gloss and a general
well-Eroomed appearance to properly iaun-
dered linens that is unmistakable.
No linen win become yellow when packed
away IL 1t is rough dried beforehand. Il
must have no starch In II and should be
folded without ironing. In this condition
It may be kept for years without showing
the least sign of decrepitnds.

The Hotbed-

The Hotbed-
Season has arrived. Cultivating flowers
and plants in the house is most fascinat-
ing occupation as well as furnishing deco
ration to the home interior. A window con-
servatory is a beautiful thing, when under
taken by capable carpenter 1t can be
built into good large sunny window that
reaches near the floor If not touches the
floor It is as tall and as broad the win
dow For it's outer side 1t has the window
itself, and for the other three sides is built
out like a china closet, glass all around
with one side forming two large glass doors,
as in the china closet. The shelves run
around regularly or in fanciful irregularity.
A warm, sunny exposure should be chosen
and the joints should be tight to keep out
cold air. It also would be well to have the
floor covered with sheet zinc or tin SO that
any surplus water which may drain from
the pots will do no damage.
The first thing to be considered is the soil.
One part good garden loan. one part turfy
matter scraped from the lower part of sods,
conta lining all the fine grass roots possible
TO secure with II, and one part manure and
sand is one authoritative recipe for soil for
house plants. Finely ground bone meal
may be substituted for the manure.

these should be soaked in water If this is
not done the tendency of the new clay will
be to absorb the water from the SOIL thus
depriving the plants of the moisture they
need. When the pores of the clay have
been filled with water put some broken
pieces Of charcoal, crockery or old brick
in the bottom of the pots to provide nat
ural drainage for the water the plants do
not. take up. Unless some such means is
furnished for the surplus water it will re-
main and sour the soil.
After the drainage has been provided for
fiji the pot to within a few inches of the
top with soil and jar 1t slightly to settle 1t
somewhat Then scoop out enough Soil
from the center TO make room for the roots
of the plant. taking care to see that they
are spread out naturally. Shake some loose
soil over them Earring the pot occasionally
to settle the soil, and when nearly full
press the earth down with the hand The
plant then should be watered to pack the
soil, which should be about an inch below
the rim of the pot when settled.
II old plants are to be repotted do not
shake the old soil off the roots, for plants
need nourtshment and until the roots take
hold OF the new earth they win need
certain amount of the I'D earth for feed In
choosing pots take small sizes rather than
those that are overlarge. Walt until the
roots fill the small pot. then get a larger
size. A pot six or seven inches across the
top is plenty large enough for the ordi-
nary window plants

Fashionable Mourning.

Mourning hats for the spring are
shown in great number Of designs.
One very fashionable model is a sailor
the brim triae shorter in the back
than in the front and the crown ex-
ceedingly low, hardly more than two inch
es. This hat is not cooked so distreSsingly
far over the head after the manner OF
many of the new hats, but is raised only
slightly at the back. SO that it rests on the
head a quite normal angle. This is 5
1t should be, for, no mstter what the fad

and hats should always be moderate and
conservative in effect rather than striking
The hat is covered with crepe Around the
crown is a full drapery of the crepe fas-
tened at the side with a bowknot from
which extend toward the back of the hat
two wings made of crepe.
Among the mourning millinery for the
spring Is a new bonnet, very small and
ciose-fftting to the head. The new feature
Is double row of huge dull jet beads,
larger than the end of the thumb. which Is
used around the edge Of the bonnet.
Necklaces TO be worn by persons in
mourning are OF gun metal or dull jet. At
one fashionable shop gun-metal necklace
was shown which was meant to be worn
with low-necked or collarless gown and
fitted closely around the throat. The neck
lace was made of strands of gun-metal
chains arranged in diamond pattern. from
whose points depended small g7un-Inetal
balls This necklace, or collar, was made
of the same depth all around
Other necklaces made of jet In diamond
shaped pieces or beads had a triangular
piece In front made OF network OF jet and
extending quite down TO the bust line.
ParasolS to be carried by persons in
mourning are made Of duh silk with a
subdued design In open work made directly
on the silk for a border.
For persons In half mourning the most
beautiful gowns for quiet evening wear and
for this weather are shown in the new
black, gray and white gauges which are
very gracefully designed IN broad stripes.
showing smaller designs IN dots, springs.
&c, on the stripes. These also are shown

ing for Lenten or SUMMER patch work are
some of the newest ideas. They vary from
the old-fashioned embroidery, which re-
quires the greatest skill and delicacy and
attention, 10 clever novelties in outline that
are undeniably effective.
