WATER LILIES
BY L. M. BENNINGTON.

No more interesting adjunct to a
country estate from n pictorial stand
point can be imagined than pond of
water lilies.
So far as the planting goes, an easy
method is to put the plants with soil
in some shallow baskets and sink
these to the bottom. Nymphae is a
hardy lily and the culture of 1t is not
n problem which presents grave diff
culties. Before the baskets have
rotted away the plants will have at
tached themselves to the bottom of the
pond.
Where there Is rich, muddy bot
tom to the pond piece of pipe is
fastened to a root and cast in where
the water is between 20 inches and
two feet deep.
While lilies thrive In cement tanks
which have a foot of soil and the re-
mainds- for water, the natural ele-

COLLECTING FLOWER SEEDS

It is desirable to save ones seeds,
not only as matter of economy, but
as a means of improving the variety.
In a collection of annual plants, all
from the same stock of seed, there will
be considerable variety presented
Some may vary from the general
stock in the size or color of the flow
er and others in the habit of the plant.
These pecullarities are not certain
to be reproduced, but the probability
is that some of the seeds from such
plants will show them; and by follow
ing Il course of selection one can in
a few years establish a variety that
will come constantly true from seed.
It has been found in practice that
though II pecullarity may not show it.
self very strongly the first year, 1t will
grower perseveres.
1t is well to mark those plants, the
seeds of which are to be saved while
the plants ale in full bloom, and not
trust to memory.
In n bed of plants from which seeds
are to be saved, promiscuously, and
when 1t is desirable to have all one
color. those of different shade from
the required, must be pulled out as
soon rs they show themselves.
Some seed pods open with jerk as
soon as ripe and scatter the contents
for distance. Some open by hole
or crack, and as the plant is swayed
by the wind the seeds are gradually
sifted out.
In other cases there is no provision
for the scattering of the seeds, but tn.
fruit of seed vessels must decay be
fore they are liberated.
1t is not necessary TO wait until
seeds are dead ripe before collecting
them. A little experience teaches one
to know the point at which 1t is safe
to gather.
Those seed vessels which in break
ing scatter the seed, should be gath
cred just before they open, and be
allowed to pop under some convenient
cover.
AS soon as the seeds are gathered
put label with them, and when they
are thoroughly dry, clean and store
them away.
The manner of cleaning seed Is va
ried, according to circumstances, sift'
ing, gently winnowing, rubbing be-
tween the hands being resorted to ac'
cording to the kind of seed.
A series of small sizes of mesh will
accomplish most of the work.

Nasturtiums. The Result of Perfect Seeds

ment for them is the mud of ponds and
lakes.
Lilies have certain enemies that
have to be reckoned with. Rats.
swans and aquatic birds often pull
them to pieces.
If you are planning II water garden
as a means of raising lilies, select n
place open to the sun renewed by n
small Inflow and protected from rough
winds by protection of shrubs or
small trees.
In artificial pools, prepared soil
made of mixing loan with n little sand
and some of the rich deposit Of leaves
and mud found on the bottom of the
pools.
Try to keep the plants far enough
apart to keep them distinct. Some
lilies are easily increased from seed,
some are sterile and others are slow in
terminating. Weeds must be kept
under.
The beauty of lilies as they grnce-
fully lie upon the surface Of the water
garden lends particularly pretty pic
toral note to the home garden.

TRY CYClAMEN

Among winter-flowering plants there
is nothing more beauti.nl than the
dubious greenhouse plant, the cycla-
men.
They come highly recommended for
house culture, as they thrive well and
bloom profusely in the average tenn
perature of the living room. Their
quantity formed flowers and oddly
marked foliage, and their variety of
shades and wealth of coloring make
them an agreeable adjunct to the list
of house plants.

BEST GRASS FOR DRY AREAS

Bronze grass is probably the best of
the cultivated grasses to grow In dry
areas. When established it will fur
nish grazing early in the season, not so
early as winter rye, but earlier than
the native grasses.
1t will also furnish grazing In the
autumn proportionate to the amount
of the precipitation.
During the entire season, therefore.
it should furnish more grazing than
the native grasses.

Joy In Tryinq,

Do not allow yourself to just drift along through life. Set before you an aim, some real purpose. Cultivate hope and ambition to accomplish something. Do not be contented to let things hap pen; make things happen. Whatever your business or occupation aim to ex- eel in 1t. Financial gain is not all one gets from labor well performed. Your character is elevated and your mind is enlarged, and the satisfaction in hav- Ing done well is the most real joy. Don't be afraid to set your aim high. Gid it with your highest ideals. Let the hope of its attainment nerve your every act. Turn incidents and circum- stances toward the attainment of your aim. If you have no aim you reach nowhere. A life without a purpose is a dreary thing, without real joy. Sup pose you fail to reach the heights you have set as your standard; you will have gone higher than if you had not striven. You will be. more useful, of more worth, than if you had not tried Milwaukee Journal.

r=7-97-7H : A---77f7 2 An Expert In Motives.


 Cousin Henry is an expert in mo- tives. If you were reading off. a list of names and overlooked Henry he would understand He would know exactly the motive that prompted you to do. it. If you don't think to intro duce him to the man who is with you he can see through 1t. He may have to go back four or five years, but he will make a complete case against you. In less than an hour he will know what your motive was. Right now he is angry because his daughter was not selected as valedictorian of her class. You may think that the other girl de served to be selected, but you don't know all that Henry knows. It is a long story, but he is willing to tell it to you, and after hearing it you will understand the motive-you will un- derstand that it is a case of spite work.

curities affected by it's prosecution

curities affected by it's prosecution and outcome. Steel is the most es-
 sential material of all in war; hence
 the marvellous activity and unheard
 of profits in this industry. Naturally
 the steel issues led the market U.' s.
 Steel touched it's highest point, and is reputed to be making nearly 100
 per cent. in net earnings. At present the company is paying out at a rate ! of IT per cent, having declared an eX- tra dividend of per cent, which the mahagement suggested should be con tributed for Red Cross purposes. Other large corporations which are
 making abnormal profits are taking a
 similar course, and for the time being
 the Red Cross" group promise to be
 market leaders. Industrials not af- fected by the war are. comparatively
 neglected. Railroad shares maintain
 their position because of immense
 traffic and very large gross earnings
 Managers and stockholders alike anx-
 iously await decision of the Inter state Commerce Commission who may or may not grant the applica-
 ton for a. 15 per cent advance in
 rates, which will hardly offset the
 heavy increase of expenses from the rise in materials and labor. Business E very unusual. In some departments there is extraordinary activity; in other directions, however, there is a noticeable slowing down. particularly in building lines and some depart ments of retailing, where high prices inevitably check consumption. The fact, however, that probably $1O,0OO,- s000, COG will be expended in this coun-. try on account of the war during the
 next twelve months is a powerful stimulus to industrial activity. and must be a very potent factor in the future of the stock market Some securities have made phenomenal ad- -vances, and even though the trend continues upward, profit taking may create temporary reactions when least expected. Vhe success of the liberty Loan on the other hand is a decidedly encouraging factor.

STOCK MARKET g. ~N~~~~~~

New York, June 1S-Equipments and specialties, notably the prominent issues. were the irregular features of todayas early trading in stocks. Uni ted States Steel lost a large fraction with Lackawanna Steel. while Bethle- hem Steel and Republic Iron yielded between one and two points. Other war supply shares, such as Industrial Alcohol, Texas. Co.,, American Woolen and metals, were lower. Marine pre- ferred, Air Brake, the minor motors and Savage Arms featured the strong CT stocks. Norfolk and Western and Delaware & Hudson represented the railroad at from one to 2 1-2 points ]
 The market moved aimlessly dur ing the morning, some apprehension being shown respecting money rates. Call loans opened at 6 per cent. du- picating the high rate of theN year. Motors and other speculative issues formed more than a proportionate share of the trading. Mostly at high CT levels, while standard reocks con tinued heavy or irregular. Oils and sugars developed increased heaviness. Bonds were steady, with sales of odd lots of the Liberty loan at fractional premiums. s

Follies of Science.

The history of science has seven problems which men in all ages more or less have tried to solve, but which have finally been given up by all. To- day they are called follies. Es
 The usual list comprises the follow ing: First, sauaring the circle; second, duplication of the cube; third, trisec- tion of an angle; fourth, perpetual mo h tion; fifth, transmutation of metals; sixth, fxation of mercury; seventh, elixir of life. Some lists put the phil >losopher's stone for the last three and then add astrology and magic to make the seven.

How David earriek Made His Fortune.

How David Garrick Made His Fortune.
 If David Garrick had had no more than his salary as an actor he would have had little to leave at his death He made his fortune as joint proprie- tor, and for a time as sole proprietor, of Drury Lane theater, so that the amount set down to himself as salary was practically nominal When he re- tired from the stage in -1776 he sold half his share in the theater for 1885, GOO. He was probably the only actor who consistently made Shakespeare pay, and, like Shakespeare, he was actor, author and proprietor.
 It may be recalled that Garrick, who had no enemies outside his own pro- fession, was the grandson of French man exiled at the revocation of the edict of Nantes and that his father was captain in the army.-London Standard.

We'll Balanced Diet.


 One of the most common faults of the diet is the eating of too much pro- tein foods. In excess this is hard for sthe body to excrete and is likely to de- compose in the intestines with the formation of poisonous waste products. Green vegetables and raw fruit are important clements of the diet. There is little energy in these foods, but they supply mineral salts which the body needs and curious substances called vitamins, which are easily destroyed by cooking.
 One food expert has suggested a rule for securing a well balanced diet. It is: An ordinary family should spend about as much for milk, vegetables and fruits as for meats, fish and eggs and as much for milk and eggs as for meat and fish.
