HANDLING FLOWER POTS
BY IDA M. SHEPLER.

Casters we know are cheap. Five
cents apiece, and -four of these fas-
tened in the discarded legs of an old
table. bed, or even If these are not
at hand, four pieces of square pine
wood on which you can nail a long
shallow box.
This Is really a good stand on which
TO slip your window plants in their
pots. Fill the shallow box half full of
sand, bed the pots in this sand. which
absorbs the moisture from the pots,
saving the carpet below and sending
; some of II back into the plant roots.
or course the box should be painted
good color.
have seen for this arrangement the
combination Of the legs painted green
and the box done in lattice like stripes
OF white and green. Make the box as
long as you have room each side of
the window mot measuring Just the
window space itself, as then one can
alternate the pots. bringing the end
pits in turn to the middle and direct
light.
On very cold nights. as glass draws
frost as well as heat. flowers often get
nipped. A box for plants resting on
casters Ia easily drawn away from the
window direct, and can be pushed back
the next morning.
These casters are also q convenience
when sweeping about the window Any
woman who keeps house plants in her
room can. herself, make two or three
window boxes, legs and all, picked up
from where carpenters are building.
These boxes. of course. are used
mainly In windows that are kept for
the saving Of plants for spring. and yet
they can contain an assortment of
flowers. which. banked back of a win
dow, give an effective picture of beauty
to the passer-by as well as to the in
mates of the room.
For a small window, and one from
which you must get light for the room,
be sparing of the plants. There is moth
ing pretty in dark room. the cause of
which is the window literally hung and
placed full Of all manner of foliage.
It Is such mistake to fill up a win
dow so full of plants and vines in win.
ter that one can neither get light for
read'pg nor sight Of the prettier world
de. A few plants. in a small win
~. artistically arranged, is a much
happier scheme.
u you are buying winter plants from
the florist. don't unwrap the roots until
ready to pot them, but be sure to give
the soil in which the plant roots are
oedded. plenty OF water-keep them
literally soaked in water, and by the
time you are ready to pot. IL 1t be but
two hours after. you will find the plant
wonderfully refreshed.

CHINA NOW ON
SAFE BASIS AS A
REAL REPUBLIC
Bishop BaShford Says Yuan
Shi kai Has Suppressed
Revolutions and Unified
Country,

San Francisco, April 19,-The
Trans Pacific liner Chiyo Maru ar
rived here today with one case of
smallpox aboard. The victim, a ten
year-old girl, on the passenger list
as Miss e. Wilson," was taken to the
quarantine at Angel island and her
mother, Mrs e. j. Wilson, was al
lowed to go with her. The ship was
then released and docked.
A ten-year-old girl, taken aboard at
Shanghai, is the smallpox patient
She became i'll ten days ago and upon
the diagnosis of her illness as small
pox the ships surgeon at once began
the vaccination of the passengers.
Among those aboard is the Rev. Dr.
James w. Bashford, resident bishop
of China of the Methodist Episcopal
church, who is on an unannounced
mission, reported to relate to the con-
ditions incident to the japanese de-
mands upon China.
DR.. Bashford stated recently that
these demands, If they are as the
newspapers have reported them,
threaten grave consequences.

This is all news to me. When ]

In short resume of financial ana
political conditions in China at the
present time, Bishop Bashford SAID
that the prospect for continuance OF
China as a republic is better TO-DAY
than 1t ever has been
'As TO general conditions in China,
