A Wonder.

A number of military men in a
Washington hotel were giving an
account of an incident of the civil
war. A quiet man who stood by
at last said:
Gentlemen, 1 happened to be
there, and might be able to refresh
your memory as to what took place
in reference to the event just mar
rated"
The hotelkeeper said to him:
Sir, what might have been your
rank?'
I was a private. "
Next day the quiet man, as he
was about to depart, asked for his
bill.
Not a cent, sir; not cent, -
answered the proprietor. You
are the very first private I ever
met. "

HOW CLASSIC WAS WRITTEN.
Bret Hsrte's Great Poem Result Of an
 Inspiration.

The war correspondent, Frederic Villiers, has recorded a talk with Bret Harte apropos of the poem. Dickens in Camp" We all felt his loss most keeuly in the Statee." said Harte:
 "On hearing of his death G sat down about three in the afternoon 10 write an editorial on the great au- thor I wrote one and then tore it ID. Then another. after much pains, was written. This did not please me. so tore it up. I wrote yet another and threw it into the waste paper basket; it would not do. It was get. ting late, and l was now keeping the paper waiting for press. was drum ming on my desk. absolutely without another thought in my head had run dry. Suddenly I mechanically began to write and the result was the tbing you seem 10 like so much. Well Mir. Nilliers. you are not far out. like it. too"

VIRTUES OF THE MARGUERITE.
Plant That is ExcelIently Adapted for
Winter Use.

One of the plants / want to recon-
mend to the amateur as excellently
adapted for winter use is the Mar
guerite, or Paris daisy, writes Eben
Rexford, in the Home Magazine. 1t is,
to all intents and purposes, the daisy
Of the fields and meadows domesticat-
ed. In its native habitat 1t is sturdy
plant, and 1t takes very kindly to pot
culture. 1t flourishes in soil of ordi.
nary garden loan, which need not be
very rich to produce fine flowers and a
great many of them. Indeed, in a
very rich soil 1t will make luxuriant
growth of branches at the expense Of
flowers. 1t has many roots, and must
be given larger pot than such plants
as geraniums. If it is not convenient
TO shift it frequently to give more
room to its roots you will have to
make use, after little, of some kind
of liquid fertilizer to furnish the nu-
triment which it would get from fresh
soil IL frequent repotting were re-
sorted to. But beware of using
enough to induce rapid growth.
Rapid growth among pot plants is,
nine times out of ten, weak, unhealthy
growth, and one should always aim
to AVOID it, and especially in the case
of plants which are quick to respond
to over-stimulation with great devel-
opment of branches instead of flowers.

BETTER THAN TABLE LEAVES.
Separate Board Top Provides Needed
Additional Space.

People who give large dinners often
find the addition of leaves insult.
cient to accommodate the guests. Also
n round or square table elongated is
not as pretty or as easy to set. There.
fore 1t is an excellent plan to have a
large. separate board top made. which
when occasion demands may be laid
right on top OF the table without need.
ing more support underneath. When
the room is small such a movable top
Is much better than to have n large
table. which would ordinarily occupy
too much floor space. Then. too, the
separate top may be either square or
round, as her fancy dictates. and its
regularity not spoiled by additional
leaves. When not in use the top Is,
OF course, stored in shed or down
cellar, safely out of the way.
One woman who has round table
had large separate top made. by
which she was enabled to seat IA
