Taking Care Of Indoor Plants.

To make ferns grow rapidly indoors
and look fresh and green. chop few
oysters fine and mix with the soil and
then water well. This may be done
every fortnight. Wash the leaves Of
your rubber plant with a cloth wet
with olive oil. This nOurshes the
plant and keeps the leaves dark green
and velvety. Add a few drops of am
monia to a quart of lukewarm water
when you water house plants. The
chemical acts as a tonic and fertilizer
and makes the foliage fresher. And
be careful, when real winter weather
comes, not to water your plants with
water too cold. Water running from
faucet in January is far too cold
for tender plants. Add enough hot
water to make the drink you give your
plants lukewarm-as rainwater always
Is in summer time.

The centenary of the pansy was GEL
ebrated a few years ago by the Eng
fish florists and the history of the
flower as given at the time was as fol-
lows:
"Just one hundred years ago Lady
Mary Bennett, daughter Of the earl
of Tankerville was so struck with the
simple beauty Of tiny wildling viola
tri-color that she collected some Of the
best plants and gave them careful cul-
tivation. The first batch Of seedlings
raised by her gave such promise that
systematic selection was at once insti-
tuted, and, thereafter the Improvement
Of the genus was taken up by the lead
ing growers. Thus to an enthusiastic
amateur we are indebted for one of
the most popular and beautiful of our
garden flowers"

SHRINE'S MEANING NOT PLAIN
Erected to the Memory Of Japanese
Maid, But Its Precise Idea
Hardly Apparent.

One of the pretty shrines of Japan
is based on the story of a beautiful
girl, and to this day occidentals can
not figure out if the shrine was to
perpetuate a tragedy or an honor. The
story is that Yamatodake, one of the
greatest warriors in the history of the
country. halted for night at the
village of Shimodaira. He was weary
of battle and strife, and sent out word
to the village that he wished to be
entertained by the prettiest girl there.
Kemachiya was selected. and it is told
how she spent the evening singing
and dancing for the warrior. He vent
on his masterful way the next morning
leaving the little maiden to mourn his
passing and to give birth to his child
In due time.
Now. the child died. as did its moth
err, and the village erected the shrine.
and every few years it is rebuilt and
made more beautiful. But what no
occidental can discover Is whether the
shrine was built to remind the citizens
of the militarism of the old days that
trod with relentless heels on beggar
and wealthy alike. and thus to pay
tribute to tragedy, or whether If
was built to show that the great war
rior honored the humble village by
taking one of it's membership into his
arms.

NEW IDEA IN MOTIVE POWER
ForestaII Possibility Of IdIeness
in Any Weather.

Europe is facing serious shortage
of fuel, of all kinds Coal, gas, gaso-
line, wood, alcohol-all these fuels are
lacking. The result is that inventors
have turned out in force to solve the
power problem in new ways. A French
inventor has developed new form of
windmill in which vertical vanes are
used. The advantages of this form are
said to be: Power-nO matter in what
direction the wind is blowing noise
less operation; the windmill does not
have to turn about, with consequent
loss of time; there is no danger from
strong winds or gales; it develops
five times the power derived from usual
forms of windmills; there is practical
ly no upkeep or operating expense.
The builder says that he is ready to
undertake the building Of such wind
mills in all capacities from one-half to
100 horse power and over. The wind
mill is recommended to be run in con-
nectiOn with an electric generator and
storage battery, so that, when the
wind Is blowing, electrical energy Is
stored up for use during the calm
weather. However, it is estimated
that the windmill can operate in prac-
tically any weather, and but very few
idle days are encountered throughout
the year, writes Hereward Darlington
in Leslie's. This windmill may prove
Of the greatest practical value to many
farmers and those DESTROYS Of obtain

EASY FOR FRENCH PEASANTS
Golden Flood Through the War;
Devastated Regions.

Commenting on the American sum-
French battlefelds, Customs Inspector
Henri Duval said in New Orleans:
II am reminded of tourist anec-
dote.
"In many French provinces every
peasant raises each year for his fam
ily'S use one or two enormous pigs.
Nothing of the pig is discarded-the
fat is boiled down for lard; the blood
is made into blood buildings; the hams
are cured; the chops are Salted; the
feet are dried; the meat in the head
is chopped into sausage meat; even
the ears are preserved; an occasional
slice of ear being used to enrich the
soup. And the tail? Oh, yes they
use the tail, too. 1t is stewed with
vegetables and contains, they say,
tiny morsel of delicious meat.
but to return to the anecdote. An
American touring the north Of France
one summer before the war, asked a
peasant what the people whereabouts
lived on.
"'Pigs, monsieur, In the winter, re-
piled the peasant, and tourists in the

Customs Inspector Duval laughed.
"Well," he said, 1.-The tales of extor-
ton l hear from people now return
