Suggestions.
For Flies on Plants-Use sliced
raw potatoes on any plants. II has
been tried with very good results.
Leave the sliced raw potatoes on
the plants until they turn dark (;
remove them and add more If nee
essary. This will kill all germs
that are on the plants.
Paper Cups for Funnels-Haye a
paper cup and keep it just to use
as funnel. When you fill the salt
and pepper shakers pour the salt
or pepper from the large parcel in
which it is purchased and as the
paper cup will bend as a sharp an
gle, and thus enable one to pour a
thin stream, you can fill a very
small mouthed shaker without
spilling a bit Also use it for fill
ing the vinegar and olive oil cru
cts, and by rinsing it out and dry
ing it, it can be used over and over.

last night.
When mecca" was shown in New
York the dramatic critics of reputa-

wonderful. etc, ETC., etc" II what
is presented here, at New York prices,

1t must Judge for themselves whether
the New York critics overdid their
part, or Washington is unapprecia-

There are uninistakable signs
patches, as it .were--here and there, to
indicate that somewhere, at some
time, something like the thing that
New York described and that Wash
inEton was promised in SPECIFIC
terms, had an existence. But vivid
imagination would be needed for even
average enthusiasm over the Mecca
that has been sent here.
Messrs. Comstock, and Gest have
