speculation how long the free and indie

vessel instead of Britisher. There
would have been some trouble muzzling
the press of the United States in a sit

in charge at Washington feel confidence
enough in their fellow-citizens at large
TO believe that they would receive the
shock of such a disaster without going

American. is that when a war vessel OF

THE INDOOR WINDOW BOX.
Properly Planned and Tended Flowers
Will Afford Much Pleasure.

The indoor window box, properly
planned and tended, will afford much
pleasure and satisfaction to the house
wife who misses her out-of door garden
during the winter months. 1t is mis-
taken notion that plants when kept in
living rooms use up certain elements
OF air in such quantities as to make
/ it unhealthful for individuals using the
room. 1t is much harder on plants to be
in room with people than for people to
be in a room with growing plants.
Plants, indeed, use the air, but use such
a small proportion that the effect of the
plant in the room is negligible II the
room is ventilated at all This also
holds good for cut flowers or plants in
sick room, although the odor of some
flowers may be depressing to the patient,
and bad for that reason.
A good depth for an indoor window
box is about II inches The bottom OF
the box should be covered with stones
and broken pottery to give drainage
and this should be covered by a layer of
moss TO prevent the soil above from
working down through the stones. The
drainage and moss should take up about
three inches. The greater the body of
soil above the moss the more uniform il
may be kept as to moisture. The soil
should come TO within an inch and half
OF two inches of the top Of the box.
The indoor window bax should be
made 10 fit into the window. To get as
much light as possible it should be /
level with the window. Ii may be !
with brackets or placed on, a |
