How to Sleep In a Blanket.

There are a great many very compe-
tent treatises telling you how to build
your fire, pitch your tent and all the
rest of it, says Stewart Edward White
in his article entitled Camp Equip.
ment' in the Outing Magazine for Feb
ruary. have never seen described the
woodman's method of using blanket,
however. Lie fiat on your back; spread
the blanket over you. Now raise your
legs rigid from the hips, the blanket Of
course draping over them. In two
swift motions tuck first one edge un-
der your legs from right to left, then
the second edge under from left to
right and over the first edge. Lower
your legs, wrap up your shoulders and
go to sleep. If you roll over, one edge
will unwind, but the other will tighten

How to Briqhten a Dark Room.

No one wants gloomy room, but
what to do with such room is prob
lem that has bothered more than one.
Many woman has foregone inside
curtains and even sash curtains to al
low all the light possible to come into
the room, but still it looks dreary. 1t
is not so much the light that one needs
as the sunshine, and when this cannot
be had one must make it, or, rather,
get the effect Of it, says the Chicago
News. A room with northern aspect
should not, of course, be papered in
blue or some such cold color, but rath-
er in rich warm tones of olive green,
brown, red or yellow. If the room gets
but little light and sunshine, yellow
should be the choice. Not only should
there be yellow on the walls, but also
on the ceiling, for the sake of relec-
ton. A pretty treatment is to have a
light pumpkin yellow on the walls as
far as the picture holding and light
er shade above this and on the ceiling.
Then yellow silk sash curtains, pulled
back, tend to make room sunny.

How to Promote a Good Growth
Indoors.

How to Promote a Good Growth
Indoors.
In caring for window plants be sure
that plants in hanging pots and bas-
kets get all the water they need, says
correspondent of the Home Maya
zine. Because they are near the cell
ing where the temperature is much
higher than at the window sill, they
will dry out much more rapidly than
ordinary plants They are also ex-
posed on all sides, and this accelerates
evaporation. | have a method of keep
ing these plants well watered which
works well. take small can or cup
and punch holes in the bottom OF It.
Make these small at first until you
know just how much water Is needed.
Fill these vessels and place them on
the surface Of the soil. Vines can be so
trained as to hide them. Observe the
effect carefully. If not enough water
passes through to keep the soil moist,
You will know that larger holes are
necessary. This matter can be regulat-
ed to a nicely with little experiment.
ing. Fill the cup each morning. A
treatment of this kind will enable any
one to grow fine hanging plants.
Do not overwater plants at this sea-
son of the year. Give just enough to
keep the soil moist throughout. Let
the surface take on dry look before
more water is applied. Evaporation
takes place slowly, and few plants are
growing actively enough to make use
Of a great deal of water An oversup-
ply has tendency to sour the soil.
thus bringing about diseased condi-
tion Of the roots.
And be very careful about the use
Of fertilizers. If plant is not grow
Ing, it needs no fertilizer, because it is
not in a condition to make use of it.
Make this rule and never vary from
It: Fertilize only plants which are al
ready in or have begun active growth.
To feed a dormant plant strong, rich
food is to injure it just as surely as
food of that sort will injure stomach
whose digestive organs are not In
proper shape to assimilate it.
If plant has begun to grow, a
weak application is in order. Let It
increase in strength as the plant de-
yelops. Never use enough to force a
rapid growth, for that means weak
ness from which there is almost sure
to be reaction sooner or later.
Do not let the plants in the window
garden become one sided by being
drawn toward the light. Turn them
about, at least once a week, that all
sides Of them may have an equal
chance at the sunshine. 1t is a good
plan to arrange the smaller ones in
front near the glass and the larger
ones at the sides and rear This en-
ables all of them to get the benefit of
the light, as they would not if the
larger ones were given places near the
glass with the smaller ones tucked into
the shady places between.

Champagne Water Melons These.

Justice Potter Of the supreme court Of
Pennsylvania in recent speech at the
annual banquet Of the Miller Law Club Of
the University of Pennsylvania in Phila-
delphia told the following story. He said;
"a certain manufacturer of farming imple-
ments in the west decided in the spring to
give a dinner TO his farmer friends. His
object was to drum up trade and he want
ed to make big hit with the men who
had dealt with him the season before.
Accordingly be went to the leading
chef OF the town and told him that be
wanted to give a first class feed to his
friends, and his business demanded shat
something unusual shonld mark the occas-
ion. He wanted all to go home his friends
and impressed with his friendship for them.
The chef said he thought he could fill the
bill.
THE morning Of the big dinner the cheI
received number Of luscious watermelons
direct from the south. He carefully
plugged each one and into the hole poured
pint Of champagne. The melons were
then put on ice. The banquet was one
at which each present. could feel
perfectly at home. There were nc
dress suits and all entered into the spirit Of
the occasion most heartily. At last the
melons were put on the table. The host Of

How to CIeansa Pen.

A raw potato makes the best sort Of
pen cleaner, though one that must be
changed every little while for obvious
reasons. In some mysterious way it
cleans the most seratchy, soiled pen
and makes it as near like new as the
wearing down of the nib allows-far
more than one would dream possible.

matter few weeks ago were little
premature.-[ Montpelier Argus.
The CALIFORNIAN was the first paper in
the state this year to sound the warning
to farmers to save their trees, but the
annual slaughter proceeded, though we
are pleased to see by the Argus that
there was one town in the state that it
did not reach. Our editorial was
suggested by ride from Wells River to
Montpelier, when we saw whole carloads
of trees on the side tracks awaiting ship
ment to New York and Philadelphia.
The St. Adams Messenger sounded a
clarion note of alarm in its Saturday
issue, but we are afraid that the farmers
have allowed these city vandals to strip
their forests and receive in return a few
cents apiece for trees that can never be
replaced. We renew our suggestion that
the next legislature should double the
license tax and if it will not save our
young trees then double it again

Calls it Mild Sarcasm.

The st. Johnsbury CALIFORNIAN has set
every state paper a mighty good
example to follow in the coming political
campaign. It's treatment of Mr.. Fletcher
whom it will oppose for governor in the
interest of another candidate is so
eminently fair and clean that we take
off our hat to Editor Stone The GALE
DOMAIN is model newspaper and its
course in this matter has been in keep
ing with its past record Itsays in part:
1.-THE CALIFORNIAN has no contention
with Mr.. Fletcher of Cavendish either
as citizen, banker, legislator or candi-
date for governor, if he is one. The GALE
DOMAIN believes him clean, upright man,
and able, too, in his chosen and honor
able profession, banking. Webeleve him
as upright, clean and able as hundred
other Vermonters in public life today,
and that he compares favorably with
thousand other Vermonters less known
IN public life,-no more, no less"
Then it goes on in delicate sarcasm to
the extent of nearly column to put Mr..
Fletcher out of the coming contest on
the ground that he is no better than a
hundred other men in public life in YER
Just wait until it names its candidate
and we will see how he measures up to
the standard the CALIFORNIAN applies to
MIR. Fletcher Burlington Clipper.
The Clipper falls into two errors, first
in saying that the CALIFORNIAN uses
delicate sarcasm in putting Mr.. Fletcher
out of the coming contest. No! No! can't
the Clipper discern between an honest
endeavor to gain knowledge, and wild
sarcasm
Second, the CALIFORNIAN is NOT. nor
has it been, discussing desirability or
availibity of candidates. And should
the CALEDoMAN name a candidate later
whom it desires to support and it
probably will. the claim will not be made
that its candidate is more like Gov.
Hughes. George Washington or St. Paul,
than any other man in Vermont, in pub
lie life today. unless it is better able to
defend its claim than our brother at the
immortal junction has done.

The Story of the LobSters.

Those Vermonters who are not recon
ciled to the present license law are called
Holsters by the morning contemporary
This compliment is extended to our pro-
hibition friends in terms so kindly and
courteous that we cannot deny ourselves
the pleasure of quoting it in full.
The liquor question for the present is
settled. The people are satisfied to let a
good law alone. OF course, there are
those who will vociterously deny this,
perhaps honestly in the belief that they
are right. In their blind zeal they are
like the wise old Holsters of the story
who decided that the centipede had too
many feet
What are you going to do gentle
menu" asked the centipede.
I'VE are going to reform you" they
answered
You have a lot of surplus feet. We
have decided to amputate some of
them"
"You have no right to NEEDLE with
them" protested the centipede. eff l
have too many feet they will drop off
themselves in time. Suppose you attend
to your business and let me alone"
But they paid no attention to his
protest. They bit off his last three feet
as beginning, Then they removed
foot here and there, occasionally taking
one of the detached feet and sticking It
on in place of others that had been
bitten off, and when they had finished
the operation they stood off and looked
at the centipede
Now" they said, you look much
better. That will do for this time, but
when the public has become accustomed
to the sight Of you your present form
we will operate on you again and re-
move some more OF your unnecessary feet.
You still have too many"
Then they went away and left him.
Presently friend came along.
What has happen d to you2' asked
the friend
Il have been mutilated by lot of
HOLSTERS" he answered
What did they do it for?"
Just because they were lobsters!"
This is beautifully told and we almost
regret that the centipedes stock of feet
began to give out. In order to add a |
FLIP to this graceful tribute to the pro- !
hibitionists. the contemporary prints in I
its news columns of the same issue this /
playful reference to the fruits of license:
One of the most undesirable streets or
highways in the city is Wales street and
especially on Saturday nights. From
Center street both north and, south, a
man can hardly make his way along the
sidewalk without being almost foored
by coming in contact with DRINKS on
the sidewalk. Crowds of them gather
on them to tell all they know with
tongues fabricated with booze. Even
the police object to associating with the
crowd.
This Is not served up quite as daintily
as the lobster was, but the two dishes
would be hard to beat Rutland News.
