THE CARE OF HOUSE PLANTS.

Now Is the time to gather your slips for winter house plants and the best way to get them started good is to put them into glass of water and let them stand until the sprouts have started good and then set them out in cans or pots filled with dirt from the garden; and be sure not to press the dirt down too hard about the sprouts, if you do you are liable to break them off and so spoil the slips.
 The easiest plants to start are the geraniums. They will root if just set out in dirt and kept moist and in the shade
 Begonias, heliotrope and verbenas are the kinds which need the most care to-get them started.
 If you do not have the regular flow CT pots. use old cans and punch hole in the bottom; fill with dirt and then set out your slips as they are ready to be set out; keep the dirt loose around the stalks and this will give free growing room.
 Don't try to crowd large plant in- to small pot, because if you do it will not grow, a saucer or tin cover may be put under the pots and keep water in it so the plants may take neurishment as often as necessary.
 For neurishment give plent of good clean water; after pairing your pota- toes for dinner use the water they stood in to feed your plants with. The starch is just the thing they need Weakened tea or coffee left over from the meals are good for the plants. All or some of the tea leaves may be put around the plants so as to keep them from drying up. When there is g warm rain set your plants outside and let them get washed off This makes them fresh and may be done in the sink
 | A bay window open to the south is the best for plants, if your home has one, but if not, south windows are jus as good. Don't put your plants toe near the fire or in an overheated room They will dry up if you do. If any members of your family smoke, lei them blow the tobacco smoke among your plants. It will keep the lice away from them.
 Don't pick of leaves to leave ths place to bieed put little dirt ovel the place where the plant bleeds ana stop it.

NJ. RoENA ATTENDS A FAMILY
 GATHERING.

Dear Editor and Friends of the So- cia1 Corner: In my last letter I prom ised to come again soon, so here I am to tell you about our family reunion that was held short time ago with a cousin, Josie Dumbauld, the pioneer home of his father. It is a beautiful country home, situated on lovely rise of ground, overlooking rich, fertile valley. It was an ideal summer day, not too warm, neither too cool, just a perfect day; ;A and if we were looking for all our blessings in the skies we surely could not have stumbled over those at our feet.
 I don't think ever enjoyed a ride through the lovely country more than did this one. Much of the road I had not travelled since I was B young girl How eagerly I watched every turn and noted every improvement, and the singing of the birds never sounded more sweetly.
 The attendance was large, one hun dred and thirty-four surrounded the tables that really groaned under their burdens of the good things prepared by the ladies of this large and inter- esting family. They came from the seast, they came from the west, from the north and from the south, with well filled baskets, and with hearts filled with love for each other. This company represented all professions, all occupations, the farmer represent ing the larger share. All received a hearty welcome by our genial, kind-hearted host and family. There were many new faces-some distant states and towns-other fla miliar faces were missed from this gathering; words of sympathy were sent to the, bereaved ones, words of greeting to the absent.
 After partaking of sumptuous feast, a charming and interesting pro- gramme was enjoyed by all, consisting of recitations by the little members of the family, and music by the older ones. Remarks were made by Rev l NIT. Long of Columbus, and Rev. MT Bowden. of Croton. After the election of officers for the ensuing year, the company joined heartily in singing God be with you till we meet again After happy day spent together we l parted, all declaring Cousin Josie and | family fine entertainers.
 That night I had horrid dream. | cannot tell you why.
 | Huge pies and cakes of chocolate | cream.
 And doughnuts passing by. | I expect to start on another triI this week, visiting Redwood, Celina and Fort Recovery, going as fal
 west as Indiana. I may tell you about
 my trip if you don't all get tired out
 reading this long letter.
 With best wishes for the editor ana
 all the Social Corner friends, I am,
 Your sister,

 Pa had been wandering all the way if Ready would taks the wood box, and theEe it was & very ample affair; but nowhere near large enough to &C., commodste the crowd gathered around 1t.
 Pa finally managed to edge around and said he was going to have one just like it.
 Ready must have a pretty good husband to fill that every night"
 But certainly she couldn't use that full in one dayg Pa says.
 Next came the domestic booth, and here the Sisters had been trying to outdo each other. Cherisette was busy explaining her method of piecing bed- quits. As | passed heard her sayi The Sisters sent me so many pat terms it was hard choosing. Such scarfs. tides, mats for floors, tables and chairs, aprons aud fancy-work of all descriptions. It certainly surpris- ed me to hear most of it was for sale. Surely if such an array were sent from one town to the State Fair, the omcials would consider themselves honored.
 Pa had gone along to the next ta- ] ble after his first glance, for he thinks 1t foolish to put tides on chairs "1ust to tickle mans neck when he wants to take a nap"
 I know there must be something astonishing this time. He says: DO l hurry, MRriapt
