Jenny WASHINGTON.

Philip yickers Flthian. a tutor at
Nomini Hall, Virginia, ia 1774, gives
this description Of Washington's niece,
Miss Jenny Washington Evidently
she was a porsonabls young lady,
with all the graees Of her time.
Miss Washington is about seven
teen. She has not a handsome Face,
but is neat In her Dress. Of an agree
able Size & well proportioned and has
an easy winning Behaviour; She l.
not forward to begin a conversation,
yet when spoken 70 she is extremely
afRable, without assuming any Girlish
affectation OF pretending 10 be over
charged with Wit. She plays we'll on
the Harpsichord G. Spinet; under
stands the principles Of Musick, &
therefore performs her Tunes in per-
feet time, a Neglect of which always
makes masiek intolerabie, but it is
a fault almost universal among young
Ladies in the practice; she sings like
wise to her instrument, has a strong
full voice and a wel-iudgirg Ear; but
most Of the Virginia Girls think it La
bour quite sufficient TO thump the
KEEPS of a Harpslchord into the air
of a time mechanically, & think It
would be Slavery to submit to the
Drudgery OF acquiring Vocal Musick' :

FERTILIZER FOR HOUSEPLANTS.
Stable manure IS the kind most
frequently used and il should always
be in q liquid form. The best way
to prepare it, is to take a large pail
"a large tobacco bucket will do) fill
two-thirds fun of manure, then fill
to the brim with boiling water Let
stand over night, next day pour off
the liquid around the plants and fill
up the bucket again with more hot
water. The first and strongest should
go to the roses, carnations, chysan-
themums, cannas and such rank feed
ers.
One woman has a compost heap
always on hand TO draw from as
needed for potting plants. In The
fall she cuts down all the dry stalks
and everything that would litter up
the yard, piling all the rubbish in
heap in some out of the way nook,
mixing it with layers of half rotted
chips and refuse from the woodpile
and anything Of the vegetable king
dom that will rot and supply humus.
She pours soapsuds over the pile
on wash days and frequently turns
it all over with q pitchfolk. BY fall
most of the vegetable matter has de-
cayed In the spring it is run through
a coarse sieve and the fine portion is
mixed with sharp sand and used for
potting plants. The coarser part is
returned TO the heap to finish rotting
and more rubbish is added to the
heap. In this way she always has
fine quality OF potting soil always on
hand that is very rich, especially in
humus,

SEEDING GERANIrMS.

Did you ever try to raise seeding
geraniums? They are very easily
raised Plant the seeds in shallow
boxes and set in sunny window.
The seed will begin to come up in
about two weeks and will continue
to come up scatteringly for a month
or so. The little plants can be trans
planted when large enough and viii
bloom in from six months to a year.
New kinds may be secured in this
way. And there is a fascination in
watching for the seedlings to bloom.
Verbena seed terminates much
quicker, usually taking from eleven
to fourteen days and they are easily
transplanted If planted in the spring
they may be transplanted into the
open ground when frosts are all over.
Set about fifteen inches apart and
put in a place where they will be
shaded till the dew is off in the morn
ing if possible. They will bloom till
frost. If planted in the fall they will
make fine house plants The Epito
mist.

WHEN TO CUT PERENNiALs.

The best time of the year to cut
bushes, briars, weeds and the like
along highways and in pastures for
the purpose of killing them is during
the last of summer or forepart of
autumn Contrary to the belief en-
tertained by some farmers, there are
no special days which have more yir-
tue i'll them than others for making
the work eGectual The most essen
tial part is for the weather and soil
conditions along with the plants
own stage of growth to be such that
when cut it viii possess the least
power OF recuperatlon possible In
plants that produce seed this stage
occurs just before the seed natures
and decidedly so ii the soil is lacking
in moisture Having put forth it's
utmost energy to make crop of seed
il Injuries it TO deprive it of all its
leaf surface during this trying pro-
cess. Though only a part Of the
plants may be destroyed under these
conditions, all are more or less weak
ened in the roots by cutting them,
and that means that advancement
has been made in the work OF their
determination. The extreme heat of
the suns rays upon the bleeding
stems of some plants also reduces
their vitality Accordingly, a hot
spell of weather or drought at the
time OF the year mentioned is most
favorable for cleaning pastures or
other lands of weeds and brush; GER
tainly if the work done with the
sprouting hoe and scythe is thorough
enough OF course a complete eradi-
cation cannot always be accomplished
in one year, but it viii lessen the
labor required the next season, and
if thus persisted in will ultimately
give the sod the mastery Con-
tributor. in The Epitomist.

A nsw Hatchet Story.

Professor Gallauder, who has done
80 much toward educating deaf mutes,
tells this story: One OF the profess
sor's fayorite pupils. an unusually
precOcious child, was asked by his
teacher If he knew the story Of George
Washington and the cherry tree. With
his fingers the yoangster repeated the
tale without a break. Intil he came
to the point where the elder Wash
ington question his son. When
Georges father asked him who hack
ed his fayorite cherry tree con-
tinued the child, moving his signall-
ing fingers almost as rapily as some
persons move their tongues, George
put his Ratchet in his left hand

chow do you know that he took the
Ratchet in his left hand?" Because, 2

A BANKERS NERVE
Broken by Coffee and Restored by
 Pcstum.


 A banker needs perfect control of the nerves and a clear, quick, accurate brain. A prominent banker of Chatta- nooga tells how he keeps himself in condition:
 Up to IT years of age was not allowed to drink coffee, but as soon as got out into the world I began to use it and grew very fond of it. For some years I noticed no bad effects from it's use, but in time it began to affect me unfavorably. My hands trembled and the muscles of my face twitched, my mental processes seemed slow and in other ways my system got out of order. These conditions grew so bad at last that had to give up coffee altogether.
 My attention having been drawn to Postum Food Coffee, began it's use on leaving off the old kind and it gives me pleasure to testify to its value. I find it delicious beverage; like it just as well as l did coffee, and during the years that I have used Postum I have been free from the distressing symp- toms that accompanied the use of cof- fee. The nervousness has entirely dis appeared, and am as steady of hand as boy of 25, though I am more than 92 years old. l owe all this to Postum Food Coffee" Name given by the Pos tum Co, Battle Creek, Mich.

MAN AND SUPERMAN.


 Bernard Shaw's Dramatic Jeu dEsprit
 Presented at Hyperion by Capable
 Company
 The s. R. O. sign was out at the Hy- perion last night, with good part of the free list and at least one of the newspaper fraternity on it's hind legs at the back of the house. Robert Lor- aine did it with Man and superman," one of the most risque of shaws nu- merous n't-I-devllish" comedies.
 The play fairly seintillated with clev erness and was astonishingly well writ ten, but as regards technique, 1t again Illustrated the commonplace of criti- cism, that Shaw's plays are not truly plays at all, but simply a bundle of scenes in which irresponsible philosoph- ical and sociological discussions receive more attention than the action itself, though even here the love story is not bad. Character, of course, was neg ligible quantity.
 John Tanner, the leading part, which was played by MT. Lorraine. is simply the Shaw of the famous prefaces, done into dramatic form Roebuck Ram sden was middle-class British respect ability, as Shaw wants us to see it. while Octavine Robinson and the ma iority of the other male parts were simply feeder parts-tarGets for the Shaw-Tanner figurine to shoot off his mouth at.
 It's quite different with the Irish mans women. Annie Whitefield is more of a character than any one else in the play, and Drina De Wolfe plays her for all there Is in her. Miss White- field is a young lady that is quite wor- thy of stage representation, too, and 1t Is q good thing for the play that the part was put into such capable hands.
 MT. Lorraine, in the role of John Tan ner, iconoclast, was admirable, and kept up the mocking, ironical tone of the play consistently, even when the lines themselves Jagged from genuine vivacity to pseudo o-cleyerness, as they occasionally did. Mortimer Weldon was Octavius Weldon, the foil to John Tanner, and as such, of course, the character was little oyerdrawn. The support was always competent, and in some cases noteworthy.
 The scenery was excellent, the cos tunes all that could be desired, and in the second act real live" automobile added realism.
