co-EDUcATIoN A FAILURE.

Denver, Colo, May 19.-Co-educa-
ton is a failure, according to the
board of trustees of Westminster Col
lege, who took action abolishing wom-
en- pupils at the heavily endowed
Presbyterian educational institution.
AS a result 249 "co-eds" will be dis
missed. Also the girls dormitory,
erected at cost of nearly 100000,
will be devoted to other purposes.
The college trustees do not believe
it feasible to get the best results
where the sexes are mixed in classes.

ABOUT THE PERENNIALS

The perennial is essentially the busy
woman's favorite class of plants.
These hardy plants are propagated by
cutting and division which may be
done now.
When dividing such plants as peren-
NAL phlox. golden glow, feverfew,
daisy, peony, see that d crown, shoot
or bud is allowed each new plant,
Plant in rich soil that has been deep
ly spaded.
If you have a choice perennial phlox
of which you wish to increase your
stock take a shoot, pinch out the ter
minal bud, cut off the first pair Of
leaves, and the second pair wholly,
and stick the cutting in wet sand.
Place in the window with the house
plants.
For the sunless window provide a
few plants such as ferns, palms, ivies,
tradacanties, araucarias, dragon trees
and the like.
By all means make a compost heap
Gather into a sheltered corner or
shed, sods, weeds, refuse from the
kitchen and garden, wood ashes, bones,
rough manure, rotting chips, sawdust
and the like.
If it has to be made outside throw
boards over it to avoid teaching. Stir
frequently and pour soapsuds over it.
Do not neglect to pot clump or
two of sweet alyssum. Cut the tops
back within two or three inches of
the roots; give sun and water, and
you will soon be rewarded with lot
of honey-scented blooms
Do not be impatient with your ge-
raniums if they seem lazy. AS soon
as they become pot bound they will
flower; then they should have week
ly dose of liquid manure.
Sweet peas may be planted in the
fall in a well-drained spot. Plant a
little deeper than in spring, and
mulch.
Sow three or four seeds of the
large Towering mignonette in a pot,
and thin to one. This plant has a

~ to transplanting. 1t makes a de-
lightful window plant.
Cuttings of roses-hardy and tender
may be made now. Cut slips four
to eight inches long, with a strong bud
near the tip, bury it to within an inch
of the top bud in a sheltered and we'll
drained spot, firming the soil well
about it.
Then turn an old glass can, tum.
bier or broken bottle over it. When
the ground freezes bury it with straw
or leaves.
In the spring you will find that the
cutting has rooted, and you may dis.
pense with the glass covering.
Now is the time to plant for next
years garden. This is done by pro-
curing slips, seeds and roots; by
preparing the beds and borders for
early spring planting, and by planning
to avoid the mistakes made this and
former years.
A novel and interesting addition to
the window garden is a pot of grow
ing strawberries.
