How to Take Care Of House Plants.

There are more plants in the home
lilled by ihjudicious watering than by
any other error Of treatment. Most fire.
.uenly also the error is on the side
OF mistagen kindness in giving a little
water 600 frequently.
The possessor OF some handsome
house plants comes with the question:
How often shall water my plants?"
expecting TO be told once or twice a
day. or at all events some stated inter-
val But such cannot be; and the only
answer that a. conscientious person can
give the querist IS: LAS often as neces-
sary" In other words. this means give
water so as TO keep the pots wet. 1t is
not practicable to lay down rule that
All the plants should be given water
a one and the same time; each single
specimen must have its own particular
wants attended to. so much depending
upon the situation and the general teni-
perature of the apartment in which it
is growing.
The pot containing plant when pur-
chased from the florist is of very po-
rous nature, and therefore the condi-
ton of it's surface is the best guide as

INCREASED TELEGRAPH RATES.
w. U. President Says They Are Spe-
 ciaI and unprofitabe.

New York, March 31.-Concerning the recently announced advance in the rates charged by the company, Col R. c. Glow ry, president of the Western Union Tele- graph company, tonight said:
 'There has been nothing like a gen. eral increase in rates by the telegraph company. A number of special and un- profitable rates have been increased to the standard of schedule rates. These special rates were discrminative against a large number of places and were orig inally established by competing companies, which by reason thereof, went into bank ruptey. Most of the rates increased were 25 cents for ten words rates. It costs at least 90 cents each to handle such mes sages for short distances at the present time. The increase in the cost of tele- graph materials has increased from 25 to 100 per cent, within the last few years In addition to the recent horizontal in crease of 10 per cent in the salaries of all managers and operators there has been for years past a constant increase ins wages of officials and individual employees from month to month. There is no in- crease in the extra word rate and the newspaper rates remain the same.S

Concluding Words.

Following the lecture solemn benedietion of the blessed sacrament was bestowed Father Healy was celebrant, Father Kit rick was deacon and Father Coyle was sub-deacon. After this ceremony Father Healy standing on the top step or the altar made a few remarks in closing the mission, He said he wished to thank Catholics and non-Catholics for courtesies shown him and his coadjutor Father O'Hern, and. the press for it's fair treat ment of the mission. Non-Catholics, he said. had been promised that in present. ing and discussing Catholic belief and practice the Paulist missionaries would be actuated by charity and that they had kept faith in this respect. Controversy, he remarked was useless and abuse un- Christian What the Paulist set out to do was to give an authoritative exposition of doctrine taught by the church and to correct mistaken ideas which those out side the fold often held. In conclusion Father Healy asked all present-non- Catholics as well as Catholics-to pray for him and his brother missionary, prom ising that he would pray fol them.
 Fathers Healy and OHern will remain in Birmingham as the guests of Father Coyle, for few days. They go from here to Nashville to conduct a mission.

SECRETLY DISCUSS
 TRIPLE ALLIANCE
GERMAN CHANCELLOR VON BUE- LOW AND ITALIAN MINISTER TITToNI GIVE OUT AN OPEL CIAL STATEMENT.
BELL PHONE 6s1

Rapello, March 31.-Originally 1t was in- tended by Prince von Buelow, thS Ger man imperial chancellor. and Signor Tit toni, the Italian minister of foreign af- fairs, that not the slightest political im- portance should attach to their meeting here today, but after @ few hours con- ference at the Imperial Palace hotel this morning it was decided before separating to issue an official statement. This was as follows:
 'This morning there took place long and amicable discussion between Prince Won Buelow' and Signor Tittoni. Although the conference was not brought about by political reasons, naturally the subjects of conversation were the political uues- tions now occupying the international field.
 "The conversation demonstrated again the complete and full correspondence of ideas of the two statesmen"
 Although the strictest secrecy is main- tained concerning the meeting of the dip 1omats, it seems that the chief discus- sion was concerning the efficiency and strength of the triple alliance, and that it was SpScidiiy diSueu tlldl GeclprOcal re- pations between Austria and Italy should be strengthened, as the greatest danger Threatening the two powers was a con- Hict between themselves, which the triple alliance wished to avoid
 It is expected that the conferences will end when Prince Von Buelow and Signor TFittoni meet Baron Aehrenthal, the Aus hro-Hungarian foreign minister
 It is also reported that the German chancellor is not OnpOsad to the pripnipla of a general limitation of armaments but that he will reserve his actual adhesion Ito it until a practical way for its appli- cation is found.

THE EQUATION OF LIFE

Cyrene Commandery No. 10 Knights Templar, attended services at the First Presbyterian church yesterday morning at Il o'clock, and in the picturesque uni form of the order made a fine appear ance. The body in attendance was a large cne and the church was well filed
 The pastor of the church, the Rev. Dr. J. w. Stagg, himself a Knight Templar, preached the sermon, taking his text from the thirty-ninth verse of the twenty-sec- ond chapter of Matthew: "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as myself"
 Dr. Stagg spoke in part as follows:
 It Is very remarkable that any one should have ever been able to cover the entire field of conduct towards God and man with two words. When so many or ders have been formed and books writ ten to teach men how to act towards one another, it will be sufficient for this hour s service for us to try and see how Jesus puts all the relationships of society and covers the whole field of human con- duct in word
 Truth follows laws, and gives itself most fully where the nature has first given itself to truths ways. The life of Jesus was the richest and the fullest that ever blessed humanity and therefore He was the better able to see into and state the needs of men.

fact that mans nature is so made that skill knowledge, power, health, in them selves and for themselves cannot last ingly satisfy his heart Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom neither let the mighty man glory in his might. Let not the rich man glory in his riches"
 Why, Because neither riches nor might, no, nor even wisdom, can make a man happy when they are ends.
 Equations of Complex Life.
 All matters, education, business, social life. even truth itself must be viewed in such light that while we come to our highest glory, our highest glory must be at the same time the means of bless ing to others. Thus all our complex life may be thrown into the equation. that the highest for the individual means the most for the many, and the best for our nation means the larger life of the world.
 All the workers of history have got ten for themselves in order to give to the many. ''The individual withers and the world is more and more.' This is the only right way for man to lose him self.
 My friends, if your order is grounded in right principle, surely that principle is found here in Christ's great word, where the man must be the very best man possible in order that those who come under his influence may be the larger and the better. Where ever there is an accumulation of knowledge, prop erty or power, without the purpose to make this accumulation a blessing to others, there is a soul that is not as great as it might be.

APPEAL IS ISSUED FOR
 BIRMINGHAM BOYS CLUB

ters as Ben Franklin and Horace Greeley, who came up into the seats of the great under the influence of those who taught that there is something in life, 1t mat ters not how great the obstacles may be that are against us. The Hon. James Chamberlain of England, conceived an idea for system of education in Bir- ingham, Eng, where the first round of the ladder was to rest in the gutter, and the top round in the best that the great universities could give. There are today more than 5000 young artisans who. avail themselves of the advantages of the night schools of that city. In connection with the Boys club is this night school fea ture. projected upon plan that no one is able to tell wFfat far reaching good may flow from it.
 This Is an attempt, not so much at re- forming, as it is to form influences around the lives of the boy members It is very earnest effort on the part of men and women to so change the environment of many of the youth of this city that good citizens may be expected to come from sources where hitherto men have looked with little hope.
 There is urgent need for the sum of $1250 in order to successfully prosecute this work in our city. It is not neces- sary to go into detailed description of the wants of the club. The advisory board, whose names are hereto attached, have been convinced that this sum of money can be used in such way as to yield excellent returns in the bettering of life and in the improving of character, xuh pill n is seeking to exchange money, in charit able ways, for results so devoutly to be wished.
 The club is no longer an experiment. pr. A. s. Ofne of Chicago, agent for the Crittenton homes, pronounced the work here in Birmingham 'tthe most practi- cal and business-like of it's kind in all the southland" Anyone desiring, can in spect the club rooms and see the work in progress and we are convinced that it will Joe found to be conducted after the most approved plan, and in such way as to obtain the largest results in influencing the boys for better things
 Sufficient investigation has been given this work upon the part of the pub lie press, and many individual citizens, to convince of it's necessity in this city. The advisory board feels that it is but making an appeal for the general pub lie good when it asks the people of Bir- mingham to contribute sum of s12O0 for this worthy institution which means so much for the good of human kind.

Where the Finer Emotions Die.

Earnest men in all ages have pondered well what the advocates of such theories of life have had to say. Sympathy with the cry of need, the eye for the wants o1 man, the ear for the cry of pain, are killed where self becomes the center, and the finer emotions die.
 Brotherhood, wherein lay the clements of fellowship in one another's joys and sorrows, cease to have any place in the soul where the individual is all. Bearing one anothers burdens or alleviating one anothers suffering, or standing shoulder to shoulder in some great common cause is incompatible with such teaching about life. It narrows visions and dwarfs in- terest. It makes the man see only small things and concentrates the gaze upon minor features of life.
 It Is true also that the converse of this cannot be carried out as a theory of existence. Plenty of times when one man cannot take the burden belonging to another man. Times too, when men must see other men die and not try to save them. Leaders of armies have to direct the soldier to the place of death while they themselves keep in the place of safety. Were all men to beg bread for the poor there would soon be no bread to give. Somebody must keep the wheels moving if humanity has its wants sup piled.
 In between these views of life have played the opinions of men from age to age. The evil of first one and then an- other making the struggle of every time to escape. This good day in which we have our life finds the same struggle go- ing on, not always in the same form. but always remaining the same at heart. The great word of Jesus is multiplying of the truth in all mans views of life as to give that which holds the truth that is true of them all.
 To love thy neighbor as myself is neither to magnify the one or the other out of proportion, nor does it destroy the one to preserve the other. Looked at closely it is a teaching suited to all men and all times.
 Duty to Make Most of Self.
 It is clearly the duty of every man to make the most of himself. It is equally true that the very best must be done for others. A man must first be an egoist in order to be an altruist. The one looks to the making of the other. both become weak and meaningless stand ing alone Jesus united the two as they have been in no other. He kept him. self we'll in body, mind and soul in or der that from him the greatest help might go to others.
 When the passion of a mans soul is to become all that he may become in order that he may be the largest possible benefaction to others, then individualism has lost its meanness. Humanity being what it is. essentially needy. nothing that man has can be to him all that 1t may be, excepting as it is an instru- ment for humanity's relief. It is patent
