How to Preserve an Umbrella Jar

The housekeeper who has suffered
from having her umbrella jar broken
by hastily pushed in umbrellas should
welcome the contrivance of clever
woman who declares she has learned
how to prevent breaking. From an old
rubber mat she cut two circles that
lust fitted the bottom of the jar. These
were put one on top Of the other, and
when an umbrella was pushed in hur-
riedly it struck soft surface instead
of a breakable one. If one does not
possess the rubber mat it will be found
worth while to buy enough sheet rub
Der such as is used by plumbers. Its
cost is nothing compared to a new
umbrella jar.

How to Keep Ferns In Good Condition.
Ferns should not be placed in halls
or situations exposed to drafts. They
require great care In watering. People
often think they have watered their
plants when the water has only gone
over the surface and around the sides
Of the pots. the center Of the ball be-
ing still quite dry. This is especially
the case when the pots are filed with
roots. 1t is necessary that the ball
should be thoroughly soaked. There Is
no regular rule as to the time for wa
terng Plants In vigorous growth re-
quire more frequent watering. Evap-
Grafton also has much to do with 1t.
On dry, warm days. when evaporation
is great, water may be needed twice
day. while If the air IS cool and moist
two or three days might intervene
without water A healthy, vigorous
plant absorbs much water, while del
icate one can absorb but little. The
soil should be examined always and If
dry watered: If not. refrain from wa
tering. When leaves shrivel and turn
yellow the soil has been too dry. Ii
they turn yellow without shriveling 1t
indicates too much water has been
given. In either case the roots have
been abused and lost their power OF
absorption.

Drifting Souls,

All, there be souls none understand.
Like clouds. they cannot touch the land,
Drive as they may. by field or town.
Then we look wise at this and frown,
And we cry. "Fool!' and cry, Take hold
or earth and fashion gods of gold"
Unanchored ships, they blow and blow,
Sail to and fro and then go down
In unknown seas that none shall know
Without one ripple of renown.
Poor. drifting dreamers, sailing by,
They seem to only live and die.
Call these not fools! The test of worth
Is not the hold they have on earth.
Lo. there be gentlest souls sea blown
That know not any harbor known,
And oft of this the reason is
They touch on fairer shores than this.
