To Force Flower Bulbs.

DLACE the bulb in the center of a good
1 sized sponge, set it in pretty dish
and keep the sponge wet After the bulb
is we'll started, scatter some grass seed
over the surface of the sponge. To make
geraniums branch out and blossom, place
a common pin directly in the center of
the end of the main stalk. To force GRO
cuses indoors. put thin layer of alb
sorbent cotton on a dinner plate. Place
the crocus bulbs on this and cover with
another layer of cotton about two inches
deep Keep the Underneath layer damp,
and from time to time, as the top cotton
gets dusty, add little fresh cotton Put
the plate where it will get plenty of sun
shine, and the crocuses will grow through
the cotton.
Bulbs that are making slow progress,
although they have formed good roots,
may be forced by placing the Crooks in a
pan and pouring at least an Gch of boil
ing water around the bottoms. Give them
suffi Gent sunshine and turn them daily
that each side may benefit by the sun.

u long ago one Peladeau achieved a
record by tearing pack of playing cards
in one pull-time, two minutes and thir-

tearing contest were:
Tearing the greatest possible number
of cards tied together top and bottom

pack of eighty cards in the quickest pos

number of cards in four.
This is a form of sport wherein many

Its stockholders and bondholders got

in-law, Colin Brodie, aged II, were
drowned while seining in the Mink

They started to put net across

too short. The hired man went to
get rope, and when he came back
he could find no trace of Erickson
and Brodie. He gave an alarm, and
after diving seven times he succeed

hauling it to the bank. The bodies
were entangled in the net. It is

That the Pretoria did not strike
the New York at her most vulner-
able point-between the tunnels
was due to the skilful handling of
the American liner by Captain Rob-

inevitable the captain ordered his
boat full speed astern. The order
was executed so promptly from a
dead stop that the great ship leap
ed backwards like a thing alive.
The German boat had reversed
her engines, but this had been done
too late; to prevent a crash and she
struck the New York about fifty feet

reeled slightly but recovered her ev-

out at the request of Captain Rob-
erts, swung around until she lay
