HON. HENRY eAssAWAY> DAVIS, Who Was Brakeman and Became
 United States Senator.

If Henry Davis had an inkling of what the future held for him when he left school to become a brakeman. he did not show it except in a grim determination to hold his job and save a part of his monthly pay. He did so we'll on the boxes" and flats that he was soon made a conductor: turned in so many fares that he was given Q station on the B & O and while there used his savings to pur- chase an interest in a store and small coal mine at Piedmont, w. Va.
 Habits of saving and investing made 1t only short time until he became connected with a bank and was interested in building the Vir- ginia Central. For years he was a United States Senator, is now presi- dent of railroad, two coal companies and several other large concerns. He has built and maintains hospitals, churches, children's shelters and two large public schools which he has giv- en to the people of West Virginia.

Moss roses often fail to bloom for
years aftel being disturbed. The best

considered hard to grow and flower,
suffer much from too kind treatment
when they should be left entirely
alone in a cool temperature
In winter daily Swinging of grow
ing plants is sufficient, and during the
hot months fresh water evaporated
several times a day makes a much
better moisture than that of stagnant
water.
AS a rule, orchids do better when
suspended, and apple wood with very
little or no moss at all is preferred
by the majority of growers. Often
strong roots, some of them one and
half feet long, hang in punches far
below the blocks, and these roots
keep in healthy condition, while potted
plants show more or less deCayed
roots in the pots or on the surface OF
the dressing
About the beginning of the year
many orchids will show flower buds
all up the stems of last seasons
growth and can then be kept in a TEN
perature of 65 to Is degrees, when IN
from 20 to 25 days they will be in a
blaze Of flowers.
They should be kept growing slowly
till toward spring, and then plentiful
ly supplied with heat and moisture
till growths are finished and bulbs
firm. After that water should be
gradually withheld till they are stored
away to their needed rest.
While Towering, the plants should
be looked over every day to see that
they have proper drainage, and the
sphagnun that has become decayed
should be removed and fresh used in
rep0tting.
At this season they should be care
fully picked out and given a little
more elevation, warmth and light, care
teing taken that they are not fully ey-
posed to the suns rays.
These little attentions are the
means Of much success in the culti-
vation of the lovely odontoglots and
cattleyas and cypripediums.
And finally do not cverpCt; DO not
let them get water-logged, or very
dry; and keep them in a cool place,
out of drafts. These rules followed,
every plant will repay the care given

JUST FORCED TO COME DOWN

having neither a sweet nature nor a

ORCHIDS IN THE HOUSE

esting as the orchids. Each succeed
Ing season is making this exquisite,
fantastic plant more popular with
commercial florists and private col
'ectors who have greenhouses of their
own.
The increasing demand for the cut
flowers and the fact that, in spite of
popular belief, orchids are easily
grown and very little trouble, are
sufficient inducements for many en-
terprising growers to include them
among their plants.
But as yet the ordinary house grow
er has been unable to overcome her
fear of these beautiful, curious pro-
ductions of nature To her they are
something extremely delicate and fra
gile-something that an ordinary Whit
of air will shrivel and destroy. She
looks at them longingly on her rare
visits to the neighboring greenhouse,
but shakes her head when approached
on the subject of purchasing.
They are too tender, she declares,
with conclusive regret in her voice.
They would be out Of place among
her window collection of sturdy car
nations and begonias and callas and
geraniums, and rarely do the persua-
sive arguments of the florist weaken
her deep.rooted belief.
However, there is now and then one
who yields to the fascination Of an
exquisite dendeobium or odontC CLOS
sum, and bears the treasure home
with the shrinking conviction that it
will live under her care but a few
days.
Still even for those few days Of pos
session she is willing tc pay the pur-
chase money, and she places the or
child among her plants and gloats over
it with the Joy of an ignorant con-
noisseur-if the term may be used.
And it goes without saying that hav-
ing once begun she will not cease un-
til she discortinues growing plants.
But the days and the weeks and the
months go by, and the beautiful fan
tastic foreigner shows no disposition
to die, or even to languish
Long spikes OF beautiful flowers,
wonderful flowers, creep down among
the geranium leaves, and other spikes
rest caressingly against the rich green

plentlfully supplied with water the lit

fed with the surroundings.
It fills the room with fragrance, and
its curious, white, finger and toelike
