WINTER FLOWER GARDENS.
They Brighten the Home With .
Suggestion of Summer.

outSf-> SSich VI
Few people know how cheerful
home can be made to appear, even
though it be very modest, if the win
dows are adorned with beautiful
thriving plants and vines. They give
an air of summer by their presence
which every one enjoys.
Where the windows are light and
sunny, facing the southeast, many
Towering plants may be enjoyed;
but there are a number of plants
that will bloom quite well in parti-
ally shaded windows Among these
we find Impatiens sultana, Crassula
cordata Lopesia rosea, Chinese
primrose some of the begonias, and
Sedums. Most of the foliage plants,
as Ficus elastica. Dracaenas, Aspara-
gus plumosa and sprengeri, the ferns
and Rex begonias and Aspidistra,
are all somewhat partial to a shad-
ed window. The last named is, per-
haps, one of the best, as it will thrive
under rougher treatment than al
most any other plant. Where only
shaded windows can be had for
growing plants, 1t is better to con-
fine oneself principally to the foil
age plants. Every flover-lover must
make STUDY or pants TO certain
extent, to know what kind will grow
most successfully with the advanta
ges that can be furnished.
The many Holland-grown bulbs
that are now imported in great num-
bers by florists are SO easily forced
into bloom that they require very
little attention. They can be bought
so very cheaply that no one need be
without a few flowers to brighten
| the window in mid-winter. These,
| however, require potting several
| weeks before the time they are
wanted to be in bloom. After potting
they are kept in a dark, moderately
warm place until the roots form.
/ The. bulb of hyacinths, jonquils,
zephyranthes and narcissus are the
best for forcing. The January De
signer

Greensboro Record.

When State prohibition carries the
various county officers will have
something to do-work that they
should have been doing ever since the
Watts bill was nac:ed-but have sell
dom done, to-wit: chasing blockade
stills. This work has been left almost
totally to the revenue men, but when
State prohibition goes into effect this
work must be done by the State and
county officers, for the government
will not license a single distillery and
there will be no necessity for main
tanning the force. We presume IA dis
tillery could secure license from the
government, but to do so would at
once be to divulge its place ofopera-
: ton. The government keeps men at
work looking after blockaders in
order to protect those who pay the
tax. Quite likely blockading will
soon be rampant, for while a man
fears tie egovernment-to some extent
at least-he does not care so much
about State laws, especially when he
knows that their execution is in the
hands of his 'home people There
is no reason, however, why thecounty
| officers cannot control the matter; it
is simply a question of doing ones
duty By going after blockaders. True,
an elective officer is always looking
out for votes and in a locality where
public sentiment happens to favor
liquor, he is not apt to be very dill
gent. It looks like the day OF the
revenue doodler" was put out te
pass in North Carolina.

The Decline of the Dance.
CHATTANOOGA Times.

For hundred years or more, the
pulpit rallied and raved and almost
swore against dancing, which it de-
nominated as a device of the devil.
During the most of that period no
gathering of young folks could as
semble without reverting to the
dance as the leading feature OF
amusement. Finally the pulpit swore
itself out in a vain effort to induce
the young people to quit their mean
ness, and broad minded generations
of pastors saw in it little of the evil
which their predecessors had dis
covered. For some unaccountable
reason for several years past there
has been a very marked decline, not
only in the efforts of the church peo-
pie to prevent dancing, but in the
dance itself. Few large parties of
late years have added it as a feature
and great public balls upon State
occasions have gone out OF fashion.
Along with the good old custom Of
New Year calling, tue dance seems
| to be on the high road to oblivion.

TarborO Southerner.


Every State in the Union may
adopt prohibitive laws and the Con-
gress and States may annually enact
the Ten Commandments, but until
man recognizes and acts upon the
fact that he has it in him to do bet
ter or worse these will avail nothing.
Blessed will be the time and never
to be forgotten, when man discovers
that he is the arbiter of his moral
fortunes. that he is his own undoer
and his own upbuilder and regenera-
tor. The Golden Age will have dawned
when he appreciates that within HIM
self is the cause of all his sufferings
and lack of knowledge, and that also
within himself is the source OF all
happiness, advancement and good
ness.
Such a arealization of this God-given
quality will rout out selfish thoughts
and deeds not prompted by truth and
the baneful seeds of-suffering and sin
will die sprouting. In the place OF
such tares will spring up and fourish
brotherly love, pure aspirations ana
all the sweet acts that holy truth
prompts. These are the seeds from
which true blessings burst in flower.
