MOST SUITABLE FOR HOUSE
Hardy Fern an Ornament That VIII

The hardy fern with glossy leaves is
a much better plant for the table than
the delicate fernlike ferns. It be-
comes a life struggle" for any vari-
ETY. Of fern in the dry and heated at
mosphere Of a house, and so one
should select only the hardest for ta-
BILE decoration.
It is we'll to be sure that there are
enough holes in the receptacle in
which the fern is planted to afford
good drainage.
Ferns thrive best in a moist atmos-
phere, and this congenial atmosphere
can, with very little trouble, be pro
vided for even the table fern. Have
a case made of four pieces Of window
glass set in a wooden frame, sufficient
~ large to cover one or more ferns
without brushing their sensitive
fronds. After sprinkling the leaves
(do not pour water on the soil in this
instance) plentifully with water, place
the case, which has no bottom, over
the fern, and allow it to remain thus
over night. In the morning take the
fern out and place near an open win
dow for a few minutes, so that It may
breathe" the fresh air. A small
glass showcase, a large glass bowl or
an aquarium would, Of course, serve
the same purpose.

THE EYCEUM.

Out of the ordinary and especially appealing is this splendid two reel feature from the Domino company, the company that is making big hit with it's two reel productions.
 This feature "A Romance of Erin, is filmed on the "ould sod and the scenes are so natural that the sons of Erin can almost smell the heather and the peet. It is replete with stir ring situations, with beautiful scenes and remarkably clever acting It is romantic in extreme and the story consists of a splendid plot. love tale of entrancing interest. Real Irish wit and strategy are noticeable through the entire picture, and this production will prove a delightful di- version from the usual cut and dried stories.
 Reliance presents a heart interest drama Of the home and fireside. Poor Old Mother a story that is tense and interesting, full of splendid pathos and lifeike reality
 For a program that takes you en- tirely out of the ordinary run of mo tion pictures, see this one, and you will enjoy its very novelty and the innoytion which prompted it.

 Everyone is interested in the eu- tIre. Come and See what Vitagraph can tell you of coming events.
 Selig sends us a wonderful story of The sea, "The Destiny of the Sea" Did you read Water Stuff" in the last Saturday Evening Post a story of motion picture producers that told you how the water pictures were made? If you did you will especially appreciate Selig's picture today. If you did not come and see how the motion picture camera makes "water stuff, as the producers call film sto- ries of the sea.

One will easily recognize Old Silas, see him driven from the viii lage for a crime he did not commit. Also will be shown Godfrey and Dun ston Cass. the latter threatening his brother and about to expose his SC. oret marriage to Moll. One secs Si-
