BASKETS FOR THE VERANDA
Hanging Blossoms or Clusters Of
Green May Be Employed to Beau
tIfy Front of House.

Have you ever tried to have hanging
baskets of greenery and flowers on
the veranda or in the summer living
room? They are charming and they
are not very difficult to keep in order.
If the flowers do die they can be re-
plenished with new ones, so that you
can always keep hanging bit of love
Illness in sight.
First as to the choice of baskets.
A porous sort is best, and perhaps the
wire ones are best of all. Line the
basket with moss.
AS for the soil, a mixture of leaf
mold and wood loan or rich garden
loan is good. This soil must be en-
riched with fertilizer dissolved from
time to time in the water with which
it is moistened. The best way to water
these baskets is to sink them in a
tub Of water and leave them there
until they are wet through. If the
vines and leaves hang in the water
suspend them from a peg or bar above
the tub.
Hang the basket where it will not
be constantly subjected to wind, which
dries out the soil, and don't let it have
much sunlight-just enough to keep
the soil sweet.
When the soil appears to have lost
some of its richness place some ma
nure in the water in which the basket
is immersed several hours before the
N~fy ~
meal-not too much-for a too-strong
fertilizer might burn the roots and
foliage. You will have to experiment
a little about the amount and kind of
enriching to do.
AS for the plants to have, any kind
Of ivy ought to thrive in basket and
its lovely green makes it especially de-
sirable. Dusty miller and wandering
jew are two reliable plants that will
thrive under almost any conditions,
and they make charming background
for Towering plants. Oxalis makes
pretty Towering plant to put in the
basket. and ivy seranium is another.
Any kind of geranium can be used, and
fuchsias and strawberries are also sat
isfactory for the boxes. Ferns of vari-
GUS sorts can be used.
There Is new self-watering iron
hanging basket, which needs watering
only once a week and which does not
drip, as it must be admitted the wire
baskets do. OF course, this iron bias,
ket could be placed in a Japanese
wicker basket If the iron did not har.
monte with its surroundings.

THREE VARIETIES OF BREAD
Each Has lite Distinct Value, and the
Point Is One For Individual
Consideration.

It is we'll to know something OF the
differences of the three varieties OF
bread-white, wholemeal and brown
to aid the matter of choice in individ-
ual cases. White bread is made of the
inside of the wheat; it is practically
all starch, with small amount of pro-
ted, much of that contained in the
grain being removed in the outer shell.
White bread is, therefore, less valu-
able for building up the body and
system, but at the same time Is the
most digestible of the three varieties.
Wholemeal bread, in contradistinc-
ton, contains the whole grain, after
the husk has been removed; 1t Is
therefore richer in proteid than the
white variety, and where digestion
need not be considered may be looked
upon as the best kind for the ordinary
diet of those in normal health.
Brown bread completes the list. and
contains not only the whole grain, but
also the husk of bran; this has no
nutritive value, but is very good in
providing a sufficiency Of bulk, point
apt to be overlooked by those who
consider food from the scientific stand
point, and also of real importance
where growing boys and girls are con-
cerned. The bran or husk present
also sets up a healthful mechanical
irritation of the bowels, and so is very
useful in cases of chronic constipation,
which oro also helned nv tho hul kineSs
of the food.

Decidedly Disinqenuous.

Hamilton Fish, Jr, who worked to
defeat the new canneries bill, said to
an Albany reporter:
"They wanted us to let women and
children work more than twelve hours
a day. They said this would be for the
public good-it would save lot OF
fruit and vegetables from rotting. But
such a plea is disingenuous.
Such plea reminds me of the can
ner's little son, who entered the vii
lage tailor shop and said:
"'Mr. Snip. will you please let father
have some patterns Of good, strong
CLOTH?
why, certainly, my boy said Mr..
Snip, with a beaming smile. What
does father want them for-suit, trous-
ers, overcoat, or
"T think said the boy, he wants
'em to nail up his pea vines.'"

Gold Hunt Amid Dust.

What an incentive to industry gold
is! The old government assay office
in Wall street was torn down to the
very last brick more than week ago
and everything to the very last brick
was carted away.
Still the runners of the banks and
brokerage houses hang around the ex-
cavation and from time to time scrape
together a handful of dirt in the hope
that they may find some little nice
1S-k. dust.
All the planking in the old assay
office has been burned and whatever
the ashes showed in gold is part OF
the records of the Office.
The belief that the smoke from the
furnaces going up the old chimney
left a deposit of gold on some of the
neighboring roofs also inspires the
Wall street boys. They have looked
in many places and some of them
are sure their scrapings contain real
dust.

Pictorial Record Of War.

No history that ever will be writ
ten about the great world war now
raging will be quite as complete and
striking as the huge collection of pho
tographs, bearing on every conceiv-
able phase of the conflict, that is be-
ing made by the general staff Of the
German army. Already more than TO-
900 reproductions that range from
soldiers in the trenches to wounded
men in the hospitals have been gath
cred together and filed away for pres
ent or future reference. The collec-
ton is constantly growing, and re-
quires a staff of men to keep in order
and supervise. This pictorial record
of the war is the finer because the gov
eminent is able, through the rules
which it lays down for all photogra-
pliers who go to the front, to secure
a copy of every picture that is made
by amateurs or professionals. The
general staff, therefore, has been able
to pick and choose for it's own GAL
lery the cream of everything pictorial
that concerns the war, and has ac-
CURED, not only accurate and inter-
esting representations but photo
graphs that in a great many cases are
artistic in the extreme.

COULDN'T SPEND HER MONEY
American Girl In Paris Was Entirely
Willing, But the Government
Interfered.

The girl who was born under the
star Of extravaganza. whatever that
Is, was praised for her unnatural econ
omy.
Just think her people said. "of
having all that money over there in
Paris, and not spending it,
Don't blame me-" the girl protested
with unblushing candor. ut was not
my fault. I wanted to spend 1t, but
I could not; l couldn't get at it. In
spite of myself, was forced into the
paths of economy by the French gov
eminent
AT the beginning of the war l
solved all the business problems by
making my trunk my banker. What
money l had was drawn out of the
bank and deposited in my trunk. That
seemed pretty safe place, so most of
my money was left there when went
to London on a visit.
Il had made my home in Paris
with an old school friend While
was in London her husband died.
when I came back it was as much
as 1 could do to get into the house.
The government had been in and had
clapped red seals, fastened to the ends
of a piece of tape, across everything
about the place.
my own trunk had not escaped.
Right across the lock was a band of
tape with these seals of Liberty,
Equality, Fraternity above and be-
low. They did not represent much
liberty for me; they came nearer to
representing captivity, for had run up
debts, and the only money l had to
pay them with was in that trunk.
Then came such a bargain sale.
It consisted of lace and feathers and
jewelry that had belonged to very
fine lady and were going dirt cheap.
They were sold at private sale and
was offered first pick of anything
wanted
For three months, while all the ter
rifying entanglements of French law
were being unraveled, my money was
imprisoned. When my friends affairs
were finally settled and the seals re-
moved, the bargains 1 coveted had
been sold elsewhere, so l had saved
my money"

WHEN MOTOR STOPPED
OWNER COULD NOT MAKE OUT
WHAT CAUSED TROUBLE.
Possibly the Fact That His Friend
Had Forgotten to Perform Sim
pie Operation Went Far to
Explain Matters.

The enthusiastic fisherman had
bought a little motor boat and had
taken his best friend for days fish
ing of Staten island. Fluke were run,
ming and after several hours they had
a mess of fish and we're ready fol
home.
Now we'll crank up and see how
long it takes this little motor to kick
her way back to the club" said the
boats owner with a good deal OF
satisfaction in his tone, for he was
proud of his little 20-footer.
With an air of confidence the own
er primed that motor and threw over
the crank a few times. The motor
began to hum, and with his friend at
the wheel they started toward home
The owner sat down close to the en-
CINE, his head bent over it to enjoy
the rhythm Of its steady throb. He
was proud and happy.
A moment later the engine slowed
down and then stopped with a violent
kickback. The man who owned the
boat jumped IS though he had been
shot 1t was his first experience with
a crank case explosion.
Recovering himself he laughed, and
his confidence restored, turned to the
engine.
Its the spark plug, joe he an
nounced. 81 knew that oil / got
wasn't any good. It's carbonized the
spark plug. I'll fix IT in a minute"
The spark plug was quickly taken
out and washed off with kerosene. The
motorboat enthusiast had read his
book of instructions faithfully.
When the spark plug had been
screwed in again and the wires con
nected the owner cranked for several
minutes, but without even a cough
from the motor. A look of worry set
tied on his face and he cranked des'
perately.
II know what the trouble is he
announced after a while. TOO much
gasoline
The carburetor was tinkered with
and another attempt made to start
the engine. No success.
'T was wrong said the boat owner
smiling. Its not getting enough gaso
line"
Again the carburetor was adjusted
and again the engine was cranked and
cranked, but still not trace Of re-
Spouse from the little motor.
Desperate and mortified, the owner,
beginning at the batteries, went over
every bit of the engine equipment,
but could not find the cause of the
trouble. Every few minutes he would
crank the engine violently. He would
have taken the motor apart, but lacked
the necessary tools.
All the time the boat was drifting
toward Sandy Hook and the new own
er had not provided an anchor with
his equipment, so there was nothing
for it but to drift. Once they were
almost upset by the wash of one OF
the big Sandy Hook boats.
Hey, Phil" called the boat own
er's friend, just as the moon was peep
ing over the horizon. "Hey, Phil
look here 1 forgot to turn on the
gasoline when you told me to. Does
that make any difference?" - New
York Sun.

Cyclone Was Playful.

The great atmospheric freak that
has hit California for many months
struck the walnut grove on the Phil
lips ranch west Of Pomona. 1t took
the form of small, cyclone and
played a remarkable prank.
In one spot eight English walnut
trees were uprooted. The eight formed
almost a perfect circle and the ninth
tree, which stood directly in the CEN
ter, was left standing, although the
ground around it shows that the roots
we're torn loose from the earth.
Forty-three mature walnut trees
were uprooted in the Phillips grove by
the same storm. The twister also lift
ed the cap from the manhole on top
of the Phillips ranch house. and few
miles farther west it passed through
big walnut grove, uprooting every
tree in one row and not turning leaf
on any of the others.-New York Sun.
