GROWING NUNS NOT LUCK
BY HELEN WATTS M,vEY.

There is no luck in growing chrysan-
themums; just care and common
sense, and a right smart amount OF
work and looking after The plant
will grow without care, and bloom;
but it does so wonderfully much bet
Ter with care that it pays to give it,
The greater part of the work is now
done-the growing. the pinchinginto-
shape, the disbudding, and we are now
ready to anticipate. Do not let the
plant set too many buds. keep clean
from insects, give plenty of water ana
fertilizers, and stake up from the raw
ages of the autumn winds.
If the plants are still in the border,
lift the pot, after a days soaking OF
the soil. Take the plant up after
sunset or as late as it can be done
give thorough waterinn and shower
ing the tops, and set away in the dark
ness of the cool cellar for few days
until it RECEIVERS from the shock. DO
not water while in the darkness, and
bring gradually to the light.
II is a good way after the plant

soil, leaving one eye above the sur.
face, firm the earth about them, give
a good soaking, and turn over them a
glass fruit jar, pressing it into the
ground. Draw the soil up around the
jar, but not over it, keep the ground
moist, and leave until spring.
Rose cuttings may be rooted in
moist sand in any warm place, but the
sand must not be allowed to dry out
at any time. When the rootlets are
half an inch long, transplant to soil.
and give good care. They may be sci
in the border and glass covering sci
over them.
Most cuttings consist of three oil
four points, or eyes, with healthy
leaf at the top. Discard every cut
ting that does not hold the leaf until
the plant begins to grow, as the fall
ing of this leaf means a delicate
plant, even if it lives and roots.

Three times in the past there have

There was a clever little catcher

if they didn't get two hits a day each.
Besides they were not hitting natur-

new HISTORY METHOD
Plan Is illustrated by Exhibit at Me-
mortal Hall.

The new idea in teaching American
history by having the pupils actually
make objects representing the lessons,
is fully illustrated by the exhibit on
the first floor of Memorial hall, con-
Quoted by Miss Mary H. Whitney, pro-
fessor of American History and Gov
er1ment at the Kansas State Normal
school at Emporia. The hundreds of
specimens of the work that make up
the exhibit were made by the class at
the school which is being trained to
teach the new plan in the Kansas
schools.
The history around George Wash
ington comes in for the largest share
of illustrations. His trip across the
Delaware river, his surveying, his in
auguration clothes, are all cut out
and made as nearly like the real
events as possible. The pilgrims, and
all the early history are well repre-
sented.
One OF the best parts of the exhibit
and the one which best illustrates the
new method is a set of dolls, repro
senting Lord Baltimore, John Allen,
Martha Washington, and others. They
are dressed in exactly the kinds OF
clothes that they really wore, which
are made by high school students
after an exhaustive study of the par
ticular time that they represent
