New York, Nov. 25.-To-days short
session was noteworthy for a further
rally from the low level of recent days
on broad and active dealings Senti-
ment was visibly encouraged by inter-
nal and external conditions, including
the understanding between the gov
ernment and railroad representatives
for speedy test of the eight-hour law
and the marked change in the Mexi-

United States Steel and coppers were
the leaders throughout, the former
duplicating it's recent maximum, while
metals rose 1 to points, with gains
no less substantial in other industrials,
equipments and Mexicans. Inactive
specialties also registered material ad-
vances. Rails were unresponsive, ex-
cept the low priced issues. The clos
ing was strong. Total sales were esti-
mated at 100000 shares. Bonds were
firm.

How Prussia Was Reforested.

There was no need of celebrating Ar
Dor day in Prussia in the days when
Friedrich Wilhelm l. was king. for that
monarch had a plan all his own by
which he replenished the forests and
kept the country well supplied with
fruit trees.
According to Das Buch fur ALE, the
king. having observed that there was
a great dearth of fruit and oak trees
in Prussia and not being willing to
undertake the tremendous expense of
reforesting the country himself issued
an order to all clergymen that, after
June 81, 1920. they should refuse to
perform any marriage ceremony unless
the groom could produce evidence that
he had just planted six fruit trees and
an equal number of oaks. If it was in
winter or in the middle of a dry sum
mer, when plants would not grow, the
groom had to produce and lay aside q
sum of money sufficient to cover the
cost of the trees and promise to plant
the required number when fall or
spring came.
The edict worked wonders. The next
generation in Prussia had no lack OF
fruit and oak trees.

Counting In Spain.

In sunny Spain etiquette is so very
restrictive in the matter of courtship
that it is a wonder that young people
ever manage to get married at all.
Even when, after many difficulties. the
engagement is accomplished, the par
ents have a deciding voice in fixing
the date, and, as they prefer long en-
gagements. the wedding day is usually
fixed somewhere in the dim future.
The best man and maid of honor are
expected not only to fulfill the usual
duties, but to contribute-sometimes
very substantially-to the expenses of
the wedding feast. Wedding cake Is
unknown. but instead packets of sugar.
ed almonds are distributed among the
guests and sent by post to those who
are unable to be present.-Kansas City

Only One Athens Now.

There is and has been for many GEN.
turtles only one Athens. But antiquity
knew no fewer than nine cities or
towns of that name in various parts OF
Greece. and even in the time of Plau-
tus it was sometimes felt necessary to
distinguish the great one as Attic
Athens" 1t was natural that Greek
cities should take their name from
Athena, the goddess of wisdom, war
like prowess and skill in the arts OF
life, who. according to some legends,
herself founded the City of the Violent
Crown. Others ascribed the naming
of the city to Theseus or other myth
cal kings. The "s'' of the termination
is a real plural, for the city was given
a plural name tAthenaD, as being made
up of several Constituent parts.-Lon-
don Chronicle.

Only an honest book can live; only

There are just as much room and need
for the exercise of these qualities in
the making of a book as in the build

How conspicuous they are in all the

CARE OF HOUSE PLANTS
BY LIMA ROSE.

II you know the needs of the diff
ferent plants, you can mix the proper
soil yourself for potting your house
plants. Take some old bluegrass
sod and pile it up until it rots, and
you will have an ideal form of de-
cayed vegetable matter for the prin.
cipal 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 foliage
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 condi.

Use the finger test to learn if the
plants need water; when it cakes

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 Dill and injure the
foliage.
To prevent your window plants from
blooming only on the street side, turn
them occasionally, and you will have
the blooms in the room as we'll. Do
not give foliage plants as much light
as for Towering plants; keep the
ferns in a shady corner; a north win
dow is a good place.
Use as dry material only w%ell-rotted
man re. To prepare liquid manur to
be pplied only after the ordinary wa
tie. .ng has been done, take an ordi-
nary barrel containing one-half bushel
of fresh COW dung, and if extra
strength be required add a couple of
quarts of fresh hen manure, and COW
er with water.

Mamma a NJ oveI,

"The thing to do" said the literary
man, lis to call your novel after the
name of the leading character"
"Why?' asked the youngest novel
ist.
Because the best and the most sue
cessful novels always have such
Names" the other replied. Take the
great novelists. The greatest book of
each gets its title from the leading
characters name.
Instances are easy to give. What
is the best novel of Dickens? 1t is
David Copperfield.' What is the best
novel of Thackeray? 1t is Henry Els
mond.' What is the best novel OF
Scott? 1t is 'Ivanhoe.' What is the
best novel of Thomas Hardy? Tess
of the D'Urbervilles.' OF George Mere

OF Rider Haggard? ALLAN Quater

oughly, the coarse material will all
settle to the bottom, and you may fill
the barrel with water, and the solution
is ready to be applied to your plants.
An application every two weeks is
generally all that is required for most
plants.
For this process sand is generally
used, or very light soil, as most favor.
able for the formation of new roots.
The geranium is perhaps the easiest
to begin with, and a good healthy top
should be selected where wood has
formed. Take a sharp knife and cut
below the joint.
Foliage plants are very easily propa.
gated, and every woman can do her
W work of this nature with great
satisfaction.

HOW TO GROW PRIMROSES
BY BESSIE L. NJ

The best way to propagate prim.
roses is from seeds, which should be
sown in May or June, or as soon as
the soil becomes thoroughly warm.
The seeds are quite small, but are
easily started by sowing in a box or
a bed. The soil must be sifted fine
and of a moldy consistency which will
not bake or become hard. Press the
surface of the soil smooth and level,
SOW the seed evenly and thinly, and
lightly. 1t is a mistake to SOW
deeply.
The ground must be kept moist and
covered, that is, protected from the
rain, wind and hot sun, until the
plants appear. 1t requires from three
weeks to a month to bring plants to
the surface, then they must be care
fully busted with a little tobacco and
