Seattle. Wash. Dec. Seattle ang-

about fishing so as to make for

The Seattle Bait and Fly Casting
club went on record recently as favor
ing the passage of a bill in the next
legislature absolutely prohibiting the
use of salmon eggs as bait or lure in
Washington state above tidewater- The
point on which this was favored was
that by the extensive and unspOrtS-
maalike use of salmon eggs the trout
had not been given a chance. and also
that 81 many of the small had been
taken in this manner that II had grad
ually diminished the number until what
was once one Of Washingtons great
est attractions to the sportsmen is
now the poorest Of any OF the western
states.
Another bill favored for passage in
King county only was to increase the
size Of trout caught 10 eight inches and
bass 10 ten inches and limiting the
catches II was brought out by the
committee awning up this bill that
both these fishes do not spawn until
they reach the age when they reach
the size designated. BY keeping to
this size il is believed the number of

JAPANESE GARDENS POPULAR
BY ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYsEn

BY EIIZABET TIL VAN BEN
Just another way of saying that N
may make a pretty garden with COM
p%aratively little to put in it is to call
attention to the japanese idea of the
value of space in decorative effect.
1t is shown in the japanese garden,
which, during this fall, is coming into
considerable vogue. Nippon art has
long taken the garden as it's chief
working ground. When travellers,
pushing curiously through the door
that Commodore Perry kicked open,
to the untold benefit Of the unwilling
natives, first knew the island empire,
they called it the FlOwery kingdom.
On all sides were to be found little
gardens-the individual effort of Jap
anese town jewellers. What most
gained attention was the fact that
these bright spots, giving a cOlorful
effect to the entire communities, were
made by smartly placing a very few
plants and flowers in artistic vessels,
and by relieving the blank spaces with
funny figures, carved to represent men
or animals.
The wooden frog In the center Of the
little Japanese plot had all Of the
space it needed, and the few others
scattered about in seemingly careless,
but actually very careful, arrange
ment, managed to fit into the plan to
leave the impression Of a lot Of color
where really a handful of flowers gave
the effect.
The same idea was to be found in
their houses, where one daring, color
full drawing had an entire wall to it.
self, forcing the unoccupied space to
take on a decorative task that would
not have been esteemed possible In
other lands.
One Of the popular figures Of the
Japanese garden that is being very
much used because it so truly repre-
sents a real Japanese idea, is the stone
lantern, carved in numerous styles,
from the roughly chiseled effort Of q
mere amateur to the most elaborate
design of a skilled artisan.

HOUSE PLANTS IN WINTER
BY L. M. BENNINGTON.

Among the most beautiful and salts.
factory house plants for winter are
palms. They are very strong and
hardy, and with the observation of a
few simple rules can be kept green
and vigorous all winter. More palms
are killed by overheating than by cold.
They should have a temperature Of be-
tween 30 and 60 degrees. If 1t is not
convenient to have any room In the
house kept as cool at this. stand them
in the corner farthest from the ra-
diator, as close as possible to the light,
but not in the glazing sun.
The worst enemy of the plants Is
dust. Owing to it's smooth leaves, the
palm can be readily kept free from
this. Its leaves should be washed
with a soft sponge and lukewarm wa
ter.
The watering of the plants is of
great interest. The great danger Is
that the housewife will be too gener-
Gus in this respect. 1t is difficult to
give a definite rule. Generally speak
ing, the earth in the pot should be
kept moist, but not wet. If the room
is kept at high temperature, the plant
will require more water than in a
cool place. But winter should be a
time of rest for the plant. It should
not do much growing, and therefore
nourishment and water should be given
sparingly. 1t is easy to soak the soil
of a plant, but hard to dry 1t, once
thoroughly wet.
Neither a palm, or any other plant,
should ever be put In a glazed pot. If
an ornamental pot is desired, the earth
en- pot should be set inside. A porous
pot absorbs and %evaporates the mois-
ture, while in a glazed pot the earth
grows SOU and unfit for ever very
hardy plants. There should be a hole
in the bottom of the pot, v e which
q stone, a bit of broken crOckery or
something similar should be laid. This
will keep the earth from filling it up,
and the surplus water will trickle out
beneath. A few Jumps of common
charcoal at the bottom of the pot will
prevent the roots from rotting, and
powdered charcoal mixed with the
earth has the same effect, keeping the
bottom from turning sour.
Having temperature and moisture
right, the next enemy of the plant is
parasites, such as fungi and insects.
Many little insect pests infest the
palm. Some of these are destroyed by
washing the leaves with a sponge and
soft brush, using clean water only.
Those that cannot be destroyed in
this way, such as scales, can be quick
ly dispatched by tobacco Juice diluted
with water. Any tobacconist or cigar
manufacturer will give you all the
ribs of tobacco leaves you want. Put
q handful of these In a quart Of water
and boil. Wash the leaves with this,
and If you put In a little whale-oil
soap, 1t will be more effective. OF
course, there are many insecticides
used by florists, but this is q cheap,
simple remedy, which is just as eff
fective as any other. Being a vege-
table poison, no great care is required
in handling or using the tobacco juice,
whereas paris green and other min
eral pOisons should be applied with the
greatest ~precaution, as even a slight
overdose will scOrch the leaves and
thereby ruin the plant.
