EVER TRY A LILY BED?
By L. M. BENNINGTON.

AS the cold winds of winter are making doubly cheery the window gar den in the sitting room. the prospects for season of beauty in the garden next year occupies great deal of thought and attention. If the whole garden outlook is to be changed or if only a few improvements are to be made in its outlines, the winter nights are the time to develop the changes that you are going to make in your home grounds.
 No really effective change has ever been made by experimenting without some planning. If you plan to make lily bed choose well-drained spot for them,s and if possible where the flower will have a background of ever- greens, shrubs or screen of living green to set off their pale beauty. A back ground of climbing plants is also good.
 Dig the bed two feet deep and throw Into the excavation rubbish, tin cans. old shoes, rocks. brick bats and the like, insuring drainage, as the lily cannot stand cold, wet feet.
 AI1IiSu tbt SOli NIth ltoii the COW stable, worked we'll into the soil with sand or sifted ashes. Plant the bulbs eight to twelve inches deep, according to their size, In a pocket of sand.
 Just before the cold weather sets in cover the bed with litter Of old leaves, being sure that the storms of winter will not uncover the bed. Lilies want shade during the hottest part of the day.
 Lilies are easy to force if the fol lowing instructions are carried out Select large, solid, heavy bulbs of the Bermuda lily.
 Prepare soil that Is light, fine and very rich. with well-rotted manure COW manure is best Fill large pot half full, then press in three bulbs, al lowing them to touch one another. with three inches of soil between them and the pot.
 The size of the pot depends upon the size Of the bulbs. The bulbs should be set in a nest of sand and sur rounded with 1t. Then cover the bulbs with about two inches of soil and place the pots in cool corner of the cellar. allowing the bulbs to make plenty of root growth.
 In about six weeks the roots should appear plentifully outside of the ball of earth, and when this happens the pots are ready to be taken into light and warmth.
 As the stalks shoot up, fill the pots with earth to within an inch of the rim of the pot.
 Do not put the pots in a hot, dry atmosphere at any time, but at first they should be kept just above freez- Ing.
 Little by little accustom them to the air of the living room.
 The peculiarly sweet spicy smell of sweet sultan has always endeared this useful member of the centaurea family to gardeners and moreover. this is a very useful flower for cutting, as 1t lasts wonderfully we'll and Is light and graceful.

 Writer, Sincerely Moluned By
 ScandinavianS in Their Public Press

Stockholm, Jan. 26.-NIore space was given to Jack London by the Swedish papers than to Emperor Francis Joseph, news of whose deaths was received at almost the same time. Long biographies produsely illustrated were published by most of the papers, and genuine sorrow was displayed generally at London's death.
 No other contemporaneous Amer ican author was as popular and wide ly read in Sweden as Jack London. Twenty-four of his stories have ap- peared in translation since 1907, and sales have reached nearly 230,0A0.
 London once told his Swedis'' ub- fisher, according to the latters Late ment, that, considering population, his books were more widely read in Sweden than anywhere else.
