Mrs. Gummidoe

I do not know whether Dickens
seriously intended Mrs. Gummidge to
be taken as portrait of Queen Vic
toria, but there is not the slightest
doubt that there is a strong likeness
between the iIlustrious sovereign who
mourned so faithfully for Prince AL
bert, and the charming old lady in
David CopperfeId," who was always
thinking of the old 'un."
If Queen Victoria had been the wild
ow of a Yarmouth fisherman her de-
votion to the memory of her husband
might have seemed CUNNINGHAM to
her most loyal subjects. But the
luxury of regret is one of the privi-
leges of royalty, whereas in humble
life it is a comic extravaganza. The
poor woman cannot afford to spend
her life in weeping over the most ex-
celIent spouse. Perpetual brooding
over the best of men is in our day
regarded as maWkish and morbid.
Queen Alexandra has set all widows
splendid example of cheerful forti-
tude and energetic social service The
modern woman is far more practical
than her mother or her grandmother.
1t is the modern man who wallows
in unhealthy sentiment, and who
revels in gloom and melancholy.
Nearly every man relies on some val
iantly optimistic woman to revive his
dropping soul.-London Opinion.

French Indemnity Colo

Germany is now releasing the hoard
of gold which she received as indem-
nifty from France. Part of it has no
doubt already been spent for arma-
ments, and the stock which has re-
NAMED in strong rooms in the fortress
of Spandau is now being drawn upon
to pay for imports. Some of the gold
was in English sovereigns and these
coins are now finding their way back
to that country.
Some of these sovereigns have a
popularity which does not lessen their
value, although it might be regarded
as a defect. The heads of Queen Vic
toria and of st. George are placed in
opposite ways. The date on these SOW
ereigns is 1872, and apparently the
box containing a consignment had not
been opened from 1872 until now.
These particular sovereigns reached
England through Sweden.

SEEK TO SPREAD KNOWL EDGE
Anti-TubercuIosis Association Has
Plan for Further Training of
Doctors and Nurses.

For the purpose of securing more
cooperation from physicians and
nurses in the anti-tuberculosis cam
paign, the National Association for
the Study and Prevention OF Tubercu-
losis has inaugurated a movement to
bring the Importance Of this subject
to the attention of these two groups.
Among the first things which the as
ISOLATION is trying to do is to induce
the medical colleges and schools of
nursing to give more instruction, par
ticularly Of a clinical nature, on tuber-
cuIosis An effort will be made also
to reach the individual practitioners
and nurses by special booklets pre-
pared for this purpose. The clinical
and other organizations affiliated with
the national association will, so far as
possible, be made available for the
widest possible use in training doc
tors and nurses in tuberculosis work.
The object of this campaign" says
DR.. Charles J. Hatfield, executive Sec
rotary of the national association, in
making the announcement, is primar-
lily to secure more accurate and earlier
diagnosis Of tuberculosis OF 7e part
of physicians and to show nurses the
great opportunities Of service in the
home care of consumptives. We shall
also be able to put the average family
physician in touch with the best
methods Of treating tuberculosis and
with the most recent literature on
that subject, thereby affording to the
general public increased protection
from this disease. Practically all of
the medical colleges and schools of
nursing of the country have expressed
their approval of our plan and have
offered to cooperate with US. While
the medical profession generally has
unselfshly assisted the nationwide
campaign against this disease, we
feel, because of it's prevalence, tuber
culosis should be given special atten-
ton by medical students and practic-
ing physicians everywhere. No other
single disease demands so much time
and attention from the general prac-
titioner in medicine. We shall try to
make it easy for any doctor or nurse
to acquire specialized knowledge of
tuberculosis"

WHEN TO PLANT BULBS
Rv MRS. John FIELD.

Hardy bulbs should be planted as
early in the fall as possible.
Dealers will not begin sending out
bulbs much before the latter part
of September Early orders get the
best bulbs.
The best soil for bulbs for the
house is rich loan mixed with sand.
If too heavy. add turfy matter to
tighten it.
Always choose a weIl-drained 10
cality for your bulb-seed; if not nat
urally so, put at least six inches of
broken crockery, pieces of brick, old
shoes, old bones, and the like in the
bottom of the bed.
Never take bulbs out Of the package
the florist sends them in until you
arc ready to plant them. Do not
leave them exposed to the light or
air, as this will cause loss of moisture
and weaken vitality.
The scales of lily bulbs often be-
come soft and flabby when exposed
to the air, because of the evaporation
of the sap, which is the life blood OF
the bulb. Such bulbs are weakened,
and hardly worth planting. Put all
bulbs in the cellar or in a dark, cool
place until ready to plant.
Many plants will grow well in an
ordinary window in winter, but the
number that will soften freely under
such conditions are few and need
special preparation. Many failures
are due to an unwise selection of
kinds, as we'll as to the extremes of
heat to which the ordinary room is
subjected.
September is a good time to root
cuttings taken from soft wood plants,
but the "bIoomers" for the house
should have been slipped and rooted
last May or June. Cuttings taken as
late as September of the new half
ripened wood Of many ANIMALS and
perennials will make nice house plants
and some of these should bear flowers
if well cared for.
Hardy bulbs may be planted among
shrubbery, and these will give bloom
at time when the branches Of the
shrubbery are bare of foliage, lighting
up the grounds wonderfully. The
shrubbery will in turn serve to pro-
tect the bulb flowers and foliage from

ALIEN CIGARS NOT ALLOWED
Barred by the Department
of Labor.

ashington.-Inspecto of the de-
partment of labor must not hereafter
accept gifts of any kind from candi-
dates for naturalization papers, cigars
and drinks included, according to an
order by Secretary Wilson.
The aliens mean no harm" state
ment by the department of labor says,
when they propose to back up their
remuneration of allegiance to their ma
tive sovereign with a box of cigars, or
sign their petitions for naturalization
with one hand while with the other
they produce a scarab, a string of
beads, hairbrush or a box of tooth
powder to bind the bargain"
The first official frown upon this
practice was given by the chief natu-
ralization examiner at st. Louis, who
by placards in his Office informed pro-
spective citizens that gifts of cigars
were not part of the process of natu-
ralization.

BEAVER SOON TO BE SCARCE
Trappers Say New Michigan Law viii
Prevent Colonizine of the
Animals.

L'Anse, Mich.-Elizor Collins, one Of
the most successful trappers in the
upper peninsula, and his partners,
Sherman Tissue and Joe Dakota, the
latter Chippewa Indian, have com
pleted their winters trapping and the
packs Of pelts they have brought in
to L'Anse remind one of the early days.
Mr.. Collins says that under the pres
ent law the beavers will soon be ex-
terminated.
There is a general suppOsition that
beavers are hard to catch, but this is
not true. Once a colony is located
they are easily trapped, even to the
last one, for they will not desert their
habitation in the winter time
One license of $40 permits the TAX
ing of Is beavers and a new license
can then be taken out. As there are
only about ten or fifteen beavers in
a colony. one license is sufficient to
exterminate an entire colony.

GENERAL FLOWER HINTS

Cut and pile sod for pot compost Ia
ter
Weather seldom affects weeds ad-
versely.
Heavy shade is often worse than
strong sunlight.
Sow seeds for basket plants and
window garden now.
Don't neglect the potted plants; wa
ter well, and shade from the after
noon sunshine.
Prune older, weaker branches from
shrubs and roses that are done bloom
ing, and mulch roots.
Many plants will bear strong sky
light that would be badly damaged
if set in strong sunshine.
Prune out the branches of the dahl
ia to promote development of flowers;
water well, and tie to stakes.
When shade is recommended, dark
ness or dense shade are not meant.
All plants require a good light.
Root geranium slips now, if you
want winter boomers. Keep growing
thriftiIy, pinching off all buds until late
September.
Cut flowers of ANIMALS that seed
freely and prolong the season of
bloom. If allowed to mature seeds,
they cease to bloom.
To root hardwood, shrubbery plants,
cut just below the joint, as all slips
send out roots from the joint, wheth-
er soft or hardwood
Do not make the mistake of roofing
for winter boomers, plants that bloom
only in summer. Some geraniums
bloom more freely than others.
For ported plants that must have
sunshine, set the pots in jardiniere,
or set in a box with packing of moss
around them to encourage moisture.
Evaporation is rapid; if showers are
few, the plants will become stunted
from thirst; if too much rain, weeds
must not be allowed to choke the
plants.
All shrubby pot plants should be set
in a sheltered place, out of doors, with
good light, but some shade during the
hot season, where strong winds cannot
rack them.

Dire Fate.

Nancy Jay of Richmond is four
years old and full of wisdom-and
some Scripture.
Nancy's parents are Mr.. and Mrs
Harry Jay. The parents belong to a
coterie that gathers every so often to
agitate the feet in the new dances.
Recently the dancing club adopted
the plan of meeting at Mr. and Mrs
jays every other Monday evening
The Jays have a house well adapted
to dancing. The members Of the club
bring their suppers as if bound for
picnic. They eat, then dance.
Nancy Jay has grown weary of the
commotion. And so, a few nights ago,
as she knelt by her bed to pray, she
made up little Lords prayer all her
own. The mother was startled to
hear this plea issue from her daugh-
ter's supplfcating soul:
And, o Lord, deliver as from peo-
pie and lead US not into hesitation .

FOUND WAR TEDIOUS
Amusing Attempt of German Sol
der to Start Something.
TELLS Lieutenant at Is No Longer War
Unless Man Tries to Stir Some
thing on His Own
Account"

BerIin.-War is often tedious bust
ness. A report by Col. Karl Muller,
who is with the German army in
France, tells Of an amusing attempt
on the part Of a private soldier to
force the French to start something"
a German officer, in peace times
Well-kneWn opera. singer in Frankfort,
had his company CHARTERED near an
old French chateau l. northern
France. He was making a tour of in
spection when he discovered that one
of his sentries supposed to be on duty
outside the chateau was missing. Upon
inquiry he was told that this man had
left his post to go on scout duty and
learn if the village not far away was
occupied by the enemy.
THE man must be crazy said the
officer. only an insane man would
risk going across open country under
the fire to which he is exposed"
He hurriedly dispatched a cavalry
man on a fast horse to bring the sen
try back. The horseman returned
with the man, who was a member of
the Bavarian Iandwehr.
What made you do such fool
hardy thing?" asked the opera singer
officer.
Herr Lieutenant, I simply wanted
to scout around and learn if it is oc-
cupied by the French and see if some
thing could be done to drive them
out"
But who gave you such an order?"
IAN order? Nobody, Herr Lieuten-
ant I simply did so on my own re-
sponsibiIity."
"Don'5 you know that a soldier
should only. do what he is ordered?"
ooh, yes, l know that, but, pardon
me, Herr Lieutenant, for saying so, in
this war there is now nothing happen
ing at all. In fact, it is no longer a
war unless a man makes up his mind
to stir something on his own account"
The officers who we're listening
could not restrain their laughter and
the impetuous infantryman was sent
back to his post without punishment.

Sandusky.-A bloodhound with an
Uncle Toms Cabin" company here
over Sunday struck terror to the
hearts of several policemen by rushing
toward them as if it intended to eat
them UP. only to indicate the fondest
affection once it got within range.
In one instance the dog was face to
face with death and the end of
revolver when it began licking the
bluecoat's hand
It developed later in the day that
the hound was at one time the official
police dog" at Columbus, Ohio, and
its fondness for policemen impels it
to rush forward and caress whenever
it sees a blue uniform and brass but

THE HOUSE PLANTS
BY n. 3. DORNER.

In the potting of house plants you
can mix the proper soil yourself if
you know the needs Of the different
plants Take some old blue grass sod
and pile it up until it rots, and you
will have the ideal form Of decayed
vegetable matter for the principal
constituent Of all kinds of soil for
potted plants. There are three kinds
of potting soil, as follows:
For geraniums and the ordinary va
rieties of blooming plants.-Three
parts loan from the rotted sod, one
part well rotted manure and one part
sand if the soil is heavy.
For ferns, begonias and such foil
age plants.-Two parts loan, one part
leaf mold or peat, and one-half part
sand if soil is heavy.
For palms or roses.-Two parts
clay loan and one part well rotted
manure, and sand to suit the texture
condition.
Use the finger test to learn if the
plants need water; when the soil
crumbles easily until dry it needs wa
ter; when it cakes readily there is too
much water; so do not give the plants
a little each day, but only water when
needed. Never use a nozzle on the
end Of a hose in watering as it causes
The stream to pack the soil and injure
the foliage.
