simplicity frequently looks better than
one costing twenty times as much II
the slip for the cheap dress has been
well made Of good silk. The waist and

More mistakes are made in watering
plants than in any other part of their
culture. Most beginners water plants
too much or too often. Some house
keepers water their plants regularly
every day and wonder how the plants
do rot do well since they give them so
much attention. The trouble is that
the plants get too much attention; If
they were forgotten once in awhile in
the matter Of water, they would do
better.
Plants should not be watered until
they show by the drying of the soil
that they need it, When they are wa
tered, they should not receive little
dribble but should be thoroughly soak
ed until the water drips from the hole
in the bottom Of the pot. This insures
all the roots being thoroughly wet.
Roots need fresh air as well as water,
and in thoroughly soaking the soil in a
pot the vitiated air is forced away
from the roots, and fresh air takes its
place as the soil dries out.
The bad result from too frequent wa
tering is that the soil never gets suffi
GENTLY dried to admit air to the roots
A good test of when plant needs wa
tering is to rap on the pot with the
knuckles. II the pot gives hollow
sound, the plant may be watered but
If the sound is dull and heavy no wa
ter is required. Professor w. N. HUT

Decduous Towering shrubs are the
glory of our grounds In early spring.
And. too, they are the distinguishing
feature between our own and the
grounds Of Europe. There are IN Eng
land, for instance, far too many broad
leaved shrubs aud too few deciduous
ones. and one misses there the delight
which the wealth of flowers on our
shrubs creates, especially In early
spring "A dozen or two of sorts which
are we'll known are the following:
Flowering Almond, Sweet Shrub,
japanese Judas, White Fringe, Deut-
zias, Pearl Bush, Golden Bell, Althae-

PLEA FOR sELF-RELlANcE.
Charles 6. Dawes Good Advice e
Young Men In Business.

This is hard world In business. 1t
always has been and always will be.
There are many good and generous
men in it. 81 There are many who will
lend helping hand to you in your ad-
versity, but In the time of need you
will not find them among the men
who tried to get you to embark In
speculation with your little surplus.
and to sell you something which
would help you to easy money" Be
self-reliant. Make your own investi-
cation into investments. When you
cannot. put yopr money in a good
savings bank. Distrust the financial
demagogues as you distrust the po-
litical demagogue. Keep your hand
on your pocketbook as you travel life
first, to give always in proportion
to your means to those who are poor
er; second, to hold from those who
would take through force or fraud
what you need for yourself and yours.
You will then, writes Mr. Dawes in
the Saturday Evening Post, have your
hanc where most of the other fellows
have only their eyes. In this alone
you will have the advantage of them.

SAT- CELLAR OF LONG AGO.
Was Distinctive Mark Of Caste In the
Middle Ages.

This is medieval salt cellar" said
the antiquary. 1T Is huge. It is shaped
like castle, 1t Is solid silver and the
price-but what is the use telling the
price to you? Very magnificent. eh7
In the middle age, you know, the salt
cellar was the principal table ornar
ment. Guests sat above or below tho
salt as they were prominent or the
reverse. Where do you think you'd
have sat, Ell? Queer table manners
they had in those days. The fastidious
had individual knives. forks and
spoons, but the common people ate
with their fingers. You helped your.
self from the general dish with your
own spoon if you had one. but If you
were very, very fastidious you licked
the spoon clean first. The food was
queer-rich, rank food--swans, herons,
porpoises, garlic, verjuice. saffron.
There was mead and wine in floods
and ushers stood about whose duty
1t was to lead to convenient louches
such guests as had dined too well.
These ushers, being overworked. were
continually striking for more pay. The
hours were queer, too. Breakfast,
dawn; dinner, ten o'clock; supper, four
o'clock In the afternoon"

It is debatable question whether
1T Is wise practice to drink cupful
Of hot water immediately upon rising
every morning. The hot-water fiends
fancy that they cannot live without
their morning drink, but there are re-
liable physicians who claim that this
practice Is debilitating to the stomach
and that it cannot fail to do injury.
The habitual use Of cold water, is an
excellent habit to form. 1t is natural
TO drink cold water. Cold water is a
tonic to the stomach, as 1t is to the
skin. II gives tonicity to the mucous
walls Of the stomach The practice of
taking five or six glasses Of cold water
q day is a good one. 1t will help to
