KEEPING THE PLANTS MOIST
Condition That Is of the Utmost ln1- portance for Their Well
 Being.

Every one who has ever tried to garden indoors knows the difficulty in our hothouse of providing enough moisture for the plants to keep them free from insect pests such as red spider and aphis, which greatly do abound in a hot dry atmosphere.
 This difficulty is overcome in sev eral ways. Spraying every day or two is excellent. Be sure that the water gets on both sides of leaves.
 Weekly baths in the tub, or spOng- ing with soapy water are also neces- sary.
 Some people keep kettles of water on their radiators to give dampness to the air; others every day or so, wiring out a sheet from cold water and hang it near the plants that they may profit by the evaporation.
 One woman has hit upon even simpler plan to give her plants the necessary moisture or steaming Every other day she fills a wide mouthed bowl with boiling water, into which she dips f1a' iron that has been made very hot. This at once creates a dense steam which is beneficial to all flowers affected by insect pests. The bowl should be held as near the plant stands as possible.

Their size will regulate number; and fill apples where cores were cut out with white sugar.

As soon as sago is clear pour it over the apples and bake in quick oven until the apples are done. Serve with rich cream.

HINTS FROM ABROAD
SOME FOREIGN RECIPES WORTH
 REMEMBERING.
Appetizlng Dishes That f.re Served in New York Restaurants That Ca ter to the People from the
 Home Land.

Little home restaurants kept by foreigners in New York furnish abun- dant inspiration for the daily menu at home. At small home restaurant. where all the cooking is Dutch, kept py an enterprising Hollandaise, a new Kind Of meat balls excited much cur loslty among the guests
 According to the propretress, these were made by winding strips of steak NaW) around stalks of celery and then slmmering the balls so formed in len us (previously washed and soaked over night. The juice from the meat mlngles with the leItils and forms a tasty sauce which is served around the unusual meat balls.
 At a small cafe kept by German woman and patronized by teachers. soclal workers, etc, one especially en- Joys a simple salad possible to any nome caterer. The lettuce for this is shredded fine and on the lettuce is placed two tiny egg-shaped balls of cream cheese. Finely chopped boiled beets make a pretty contrasting color scheme, adding at the same time a plquant flavor, and over all is sprink- led a tasty cream and oil dressing.
 In this same German restaurant the tomatoes for tomato salad are always shaved wafer-thin with a sharp knife and come to table on shredded lettuce.
 A dainty touch given to a homely dessert in the same place is chocolate corn-starch molded in individual star shaped molds, surrounded by a thin custard and decorated with a spoon tul of currant jelly which gives an unusual additional flavor. Vanilla or almond favored cornstarch nodded in individual forms is decorated with candied cherries and served with cus- tard around it.
 Rice molds with small variations from time to time make dainty and inexpensive dessert which will not be associated in the family mind with prosaic rice pudding. The foundation Of the recipe, upon which the inven- tive housekeeper can ring in many little changes, is as follows:
 Wash thoroughly two ounces of rice in hot water and put into a@tlouble boiler with pint and a half of milk and six Jumps of sugar Cor sweeten the milk to taste). Simmer until the rice is quite soft and creamy, the milk having been entirely absorbed Now rub through wire sieve and with it fill some little dariole molds which have been rinsed in cold water.
 Serve with a fruit sauce, or before molding mix with the rice a small quantity of chopped nut meats and serve with cream. They are also very tasty with fresh sliced fruit.

N. C.-the first systematic forest work done fin this country.
 He was member of the commIs- sion appointed by the National Acad. emy of Science in 1896, at the reouest of the secretary of the interior. to for. mulate a rational forest policy for American public lands. as a result of whose report II western reserves. to. taling 21,000,000 acres. were created
 MT Ballinger, when he became sec- retary of the interior, gave MT. Pin chot to understand that he (Ballin- ger) was boss. They differed materi- ally over methods of procedure in western forest and Alaska coal land cases. with the results that finally eliminated in MT. Pinchot's open de. fiance of President Taft's orders-in writing letter to Senator Deliver to be read in the senate-and his dismis. sal from the government service after conference of cabinet ministers had decided that he was an incorrigible enthusiast.
 Mir. Pinchot is 43 years old. He is the author of several books on fore stry and has received several hono- rary degrees from American educa- tional institutions. among them that of Sc. D. from Michigan Agricultural college. in 1907, upon the occasion of his visit, with President Roosevelt, to that school when it observed the ffti- eth anniversary of it's existence. It was due to the efforts of Clifford Pin chot and the generosity of his family that the Yale school of forestry was founded.

 Having nothing else to do, Pinchot attended to business. His little group of assistants was extended as fast as he could get the administration to comply with his wishes, and he began to offer practical assistance to forest owners interested in the conservation of the nations woods. He aided the heads of the scattered forest schools. aroused the tagging interest of gov ernment officials and by his conta- glous enthusiasm organized his de- partment into a harmonious and effec- tive body of public servants, The "di- vision of forestry" became the 'bu- reau of forestry" and was succeeded in 1905 by the forest service, under control of the interior department.
 With the formation of the forest service, which meant added power for Pinchot, the chief started the militant neld work that finally got him into difficulties with his superiors. He worked with but one object in view the placing of forests in America on the same high plane they have reached, after years of painstaking care, In Germany. Results were what ne wanted and he didn't care how he got them.
