two years. only one lived. and that was

In March shallow box was filled
with potting mold. thoroughly soaked
with water. then covered with about
one-fourth of an inch OF soil. patted
down firmly. the box covered with
glass and placed In a west window.
As soon as seedlings appeared the
glass was removed. but they were
shaded from the direct sun and lightly
sprinkled every morning.
When. two inches high they were
transplanted to deeper box and set
two inches apart. About two months
later they were transplanted TO part

Cultivation was constant all through
the summer until August. when they
were again transplnnted. this time into

home-a border partly shaded by
shrubs. II happened to be very dry
summer. so they were sprinkied every
evening
When cool weather set In. leaves

the mulch was removed and little

HOW TO MAKE LlMEWATER.
Easy to Prepare and Is Valuable About
tho Household.


One of the most useful agents Of
household economy, II rightly under
stood, is limewater. Its mode Of prep
aration Is as follows: Put piece
Of fresh unslaked lime about the size
OF half pecg measure into large
stone Jar and pour over It slowly and
carefully $50 as not to siacken too rap
idly four gallons of hot water and stir
again two or three times In twenty
four hours Then bottle carefully all
that can be poured Off In a clear state.
Limewater is often sold by druggists
as a remedy for children's summer
complaint. a teaspoon In cup Of milk
being a dose When diarrhea Is caus-
ed by acidity of the stomach 1t Is an
excellent remedy. When put into milk
1t gives no unpleasant taste, but rath-
err improves the favor.
When put into milk that might cur
die when heated 1t will prevent 1t so
doing, and the milk can then be used
for puddings and pies. A little stirred
into cream or milk after hot day or
night will prevent its turning when
used for tea or coffee.
1t Is unequaled In cleansing bottles
for babies, rs It sweetens and purifles
without leaving an unpleasant odor.

How TO Use the Broom,

Few people handle broom proper
iy, although accustomed TO its use
every day Of their lives. Always draw
your broom by leaning 1t forward. be-
cause this allows the dirt to be moved
along more gently and will not raise
much dust. Most sweepers thrust the
broom ahead of them In sort of dig
ging way, with the handle toward the
sweeper. This breaks the broom,
wears out the carpet, fiirts up dust
and makes the sweeping much more
laborious.
