CARE OF PLANTS.
The Proper Way to Water Flowers
Kept Indoors.

Kept Indoors.
There are three Ways t. water
plants, two wrong ways and n right
one. Many people adhere to the plan
of frequent application of small
amounts Of water. Thus the soil about
the top of the pot Is constantly moist,
but the lower two-thirds of the soil is
entirely dry. By this method the up
per roots are nourished, while the lower
roots. which demand water, Don die
and the plant is continually In an un-
healthy condition.
Directly opposite to this Is the plan
of overwhelming which many persons
thoughtlessly follow. They water
their plants thoroughly today. To-
morrow they apply the same amount,
and so they go from one day to anoth-
er. The result is that the soil Is kept
saturated with moisture. 1t is In the
condition of mud all the time. a IN
dition that suits only aquatic plants
and one in which the ordinary plant
will soon become diseased.
The stagnant water will sour the
soil, and the roots will begin to decay.
By and by the plant dies. Either of
the above mentioned methods are
equally destructive to healthy plants.
There is only n right way. When
you water a plant do 1t thoroughly
in fact, be sure every particle of soil
is wet. Then do not apply any more
until the surface of the soil Is really
dry. AS long as the surface of the soil
looks damp you may rest assured that
the rest of it contains sufficient mois
ture. Enough should be given, as
all the soil in the pot. If proper drain
age is given all surplus water-that is,
all water that the soil cannot take up
and hold-will run off at the bottom
of the pot through the hole provided
for this purpose. By proper drainage
we mean that something must be
placed in each pot to keep the soil
from washing down and stopping up
the hole.
There should be at least n inch of
drainage placed in all four or five inch
pots, and from one to three inches used
in larger pots. The best material to
use for drainage is old bits Of broken
flower pots OR Observation-Disclosures
small pieces. not much larger than a
marble. Many people are careless
about this drainage or ignorant as to
its value. but no n can grow plants
successfully without 1t.
Some reader may ask: SLOW can l
tell when l have given enough water
to permeate all portions of the soil?"
Well, In answer let me say there is
only one sure way, and that Is to notice
the drainage hole In the bottom of the
pot. When we see the water trucking
through that we know 1t is time to
stop.
Some plants have roots that enable
them to make use of much more wa
ter than others. Then, again. some
soils part with moisture much
rapidly than others. Some rooms are
kept so warm that evaporation takes
place rapidly. When all these things
are considered it will be seen that
there can be no regular time for wa
tering plants.
Water must be given when the APP
pearance of the soil shows need of it;
not until then.
Use ordinary hydrant water. Use
1t just the temperature you draw 1t
from the hydrant. Neither chill 1t o
heat 1t. BY following the above direc-
lions you should be very successful
with the average plant

Among the residents in Wildwood
this summer is Martin /. ]. Griffin,
who is occupying a cottage at 1OS West
Poplar street. Mr.. Griffin is n of a
vast army of Americans who obtained
their education in the public school,
one of the grandest institutions of this
great Country. In the year 1857 the.
Rinpgold Grammar school was located
at the corner of Eighth and Fitzwater
streets, Philadelphia, and Mr.. Griffin
was a member of the class OF lS57-5o.
Some years ago this class formed aclub
known as the "Ringgold Boys" and
Mr.. Griffin is its president. 1t is the
custom of the class to hold two reunions
a year and ON Saturday, July "a, 1909,
Mr.. Griffin entertained ten of its MEM
bers at his Wildwood home, who had
promised bread and milk for all. The
"boys" of '57 had a delightful time at
the seashore and enjoyed the hospital
ity of their classmate immensely,
who entertained all at dinner at the
Hotel Dayton and in the evening at
his home. Those present were Capt.
Edward J. Gilligan, of Oxford, Pa, a
medal of honor mar of the Civil war;
Emil G. Wagner, of Girardville, Pa,
superintendent the past forty years of
the Girard estate and president of the
GirardviIle bank; Gus A. Meyer,
Emanuel Peterson; Henry A. Smith,
of the Philadelphia North American;
DIR. r. j. Nolan, secretary Of the Acad-
envy of Natural Science at Philadel-
phia; Thomas H. Rogers. OF a class
of thirty-seyen in 1857 there are living
twenty-three members, a record of
longevity that can, probably, not be
equalled.

bicycle shop In the town. When they
were together In the sickroom they
talked about flying machines. Orville
said when he got well that he and his
brother must learn to fly. The sister
was enthusiastic over the suggestion
She said somebody would do It ant5
why not the Wright brothers? When
Orville recovered he and his brother
went to work. What they have ac-
complished Is history. But they had
many backsets In their experiments.
In all their sister stood by them and
encouraged them. Her devotion to
their interests won the hearts of the
public. When they went to Europe
they took her with them. She has
never made a real flight in any Of her
brothers aeroplanes, although she has
been up In a balloon. She is familiar
with the machine which has made her
brothers famous. and 1t is her ambi-
ton to be the first woman to take a
trip In the invention Of her brothers
which has interested science and
caused crowned heads to inspect II.
Miss Wright is petite, dark, good look
ing and quite attractive In n
She interested King Alfonso and has
met many notables OF southern Eu-

op In the United Brethren church.

Seldom is anything seen In print re-
speeding the daughters of Mrs. Grover
Cleveland. Esther is now eighteen
years of age. She is tall slim and shy.
She shows no traces of her mothers
beauty, for which Mrs Cleveland was
famous some years ago. Marion is
shorter than her sister, but much like
her In other respects. Both, with their
mother, spent the Lenten season at At
hntic City, but so quietly did they
live that few people knew they were
there. Mrs Cleveland spent much Of
her time about the shops that sell
gems and precious stones. In such
matters she Is a connoisseur.
No story of the civil war Is more IN
teresting than that of Louise Weliman

GRACE BAY. n. s., July s-The ar
rival of trainload of troops today
from the barracks at Halifax to assist
in quelling disorder at the mines of the
Dominion Coal Company demonstrated
the serious condition in which the strike
of the United Mine Workers has devel-
oped.
The Dominion Coal Company states
that 1t is well prepared for a long con-
fiict, with practically all its summer con-
tracts filled and between 10000 and l5O,-
COO tons of coal at the mines. The strik-
erS say that they will have the mines
completely tied up in few days
1t is understood that the Dominion Iron
and Steel Company, probably the largest
consumer OF the coal company's product.
has sufficient quantity of coal on hand
to insure the operation of its plant for
at least three months.
To house the strikers who were evicted
from the houses of the company hun
dreds of tents have been put up. pre-
