Watering plants Drop BY Drop.


Lucien Daniel, q French botanist, has
made some experiments with cabbages,
chicory, lettuce, etc, which prove that
they thrive far better by. a system Of
continuous watering than by drench-
ing the soil thoroughly every other day.
The new method, which Isl simplicity
itself, depends upon the law Of capil-
larry attraction. As presented to the
Academy Of Sciences in Paris it con-
sists Of placing near each plant a large
mouthed jar containing water, In which
Is dipped one end OF strip of linen
or cotton whose other end lies near the
plant. Mr.. Daniel determined the ex-
act amount of water required by any
given plant for its best development
and proved that in general this unin-
terrupted supply Of water, drop by
drop, gave infinitely better results than
the usual method Of intermittent
drenching and with minimum ex5
penditure Of water. literary Digest.

Of Finance
Pride and Wealth.

Wealth built splendid mansion and
invited Pride to inspect it. Pride came
gladly, but found fault with the house
and everything in it, from cellar to
garnet.
"Why," said he, Competence has as
good carpets and furniture and Well
TODD has more costly draperies and
pictures and much more elegant
main staircase. Furthermore, see
you have consulted Convenience in re-
gard to some of the arrangements, and
this can construe only as bitter in
suit to myself"
To placate PRIDE Wealth sold his
house for fraction Of its value and
built q far more costly one. This time
Luxury and not Convenience was con-
suited, and the result pleased Pride SO
well that he took up permanent quar-
tiers In the mansion. He invited in
his comrades, Vanity, Ostentation and
Prodigality. Wealth was the only one
who could not see that the house he
had paid for belonged, not to himself,
but to Pride.

Embroidery DESIGNS.

Here are suggestions for transfer
ring the embroidery design before you
to any material:
Perhaps the easiest way is the twin
dowpanev method This is successful
when the material is thin, like linen,
batiste, etc. Pin the sheet of paper and
the material together and hold them up
against the glass Of a window. With a
sharp pencil draw on the material the
design, which can be easily seen
through the goods. lie one-half Of the
design Is given unpin the paper and
turn the other side to the fabric.
II you have carbon paper you should
place the sheet between the fabric and
the newspaper. The latter is on top.
With a sharp pencil go over the out
line Of the design. The impression viii
be left In fine lines and viii last until
worked. Exchange

Masicians Of the Pen.

While w. w. Jacobs confesses that
he often sits, pen in hand, a whole
morning without putting solitary
word on paper, Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle has written a story of $4,000
words without once leaving his desk
Even such q painstaking writer as the
late R. Z. Stevenson had his spasms
of lightning work, in one of which he
completed his famous "Jekyll and
Hyde" story within seven. days, and
Hall Game wrote the first and last
lines of his Life of Coleridge'' in three
weeks. While Sir J. NJ Barrie counts
800 or 600 words a good days work.
81. G. Wells has often written 10000
words between breakfast and bed, and
Mrs. L. T. Meade has produced 10000
words In busy day.
The late Andrew Lang, when in the
mood, has more than once written
5000 words q book between break
fast and late luncheon, and it is said
that s. r. Crockett wrote the last half
of "The Shcikit Minister" in forty
hours.-London Answers.

Modern Dreadnauahts,

Beyond all doubt modern dread
naughts represent the highest level Of
controlled strength that the human
race has yet seen. The fact that % 600
tons or more of metal can be driven
through water at the speed of an ex-
press train while its big guns hurl
shells Weighing three quarters Of a
ton to distance of twenty miles is a
miracle In mechanism.
During the evolution of the warship
to its present state of efficiency marine
engineers have been faced with the
problem Of protecting vital parts of the
vessel from the ever Increasing hitting
power Of large shells. In other words,
the fighting value depended upon Its
ability to take as well as give hard
knocks. Some idea of the difficulty
may be gathered from the fact that a
fifteen inch shot strikes a blow at its
maximum point OF speed capable of
lifting $4,000 tons a foot from the
ground. Standard.

cuts q Meat, ana caIorifio vaIue.

The kind or cut Of meat used does
not usually make much difference In
the full or calori1c value.
There is d popular belief that porter
house steak and other choice cuts of
beef represent the highest forms Of
nourishment to be obtained. This is,
however, a misconception The fun
value OF brisket or RIBS Of beef, as well
as mutton and lamb, exceeds the much
desired tenderloin steak
According to Langworthy, expert in
charge Of nutrition investigation of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture, for AN practical, everyday pur-
poses 1t may be considered that the
protein obtained from given weight
Of meat differs very little either with
the kind of meat or the cut"

President Lincoln was present and an
immense audience filed the hall Chap

! Swamp Lands.

The national chamber of commerce
declares that had not the hospital
corps Of the army definitely determi1l-
ed the status of the mosquito and thus
caused menacing swamp lands to be
drained it is an open question whether
the building Of the Panama canal
would haTe been possible.
In following up this work we find
that the United States in draining
breeding places Of the mosquito has
reclaimed thousands Of acres Of land
and made them available for agricul-
turaI purposes. There are approx
mately 100000, 600 acres Of swamp
lands In the country where for years
the mosquito has held undisputed
sway, of which $4,000, 900, or about
one-eighth of the total, area of the
country, can be reclaimed for the plowl
share. The only value of swamp land
lies In its possibility Of reclamation;
otherwise it is serious liability as a
breeder of disease.-Leslie's

A Life Preserver of shee. Metal.

Metal swimming plates have made
their appearance in the field of life
preservers. They consist of metal
parts put together just like two tin
pie plates soldered with their faces
Joining, allowing the space between
them as dead air chamber, says the
Popular Science Monthly. The adj
vantage of these plates lies in the fact
that they will not rot or crumble like
a cork life preserver. A properly APP
piled paint prevents rusting, and they
are always ready for use. They do not
have to be inflated like the water
wings which are used by some swim
ners. There is no DANGER Of 'aalr-
