Taking Care of Indoor Plants.

To make ferns grow rapidly indoors
and look fresh and green, chop a 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 cloth wet
with olive OIL This nourishes the
plant and keeps the leaves dark green
and velvety. Add a few drops of am
monia to quart of lukewarm water
when you water house plants. The
chemical acts as 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.

an enclosure in the park: and there
was quite a herd of stately elks in
another pasture. They are very grace
full creatures and showed no fear at
our approach but the great cinnamon
and polar bears were constantly in
motion. always seeking some place of
escape.
There were golden and silver pleas
ants and rare tropical birds; also five
great American eagles, but they were
not a symbol of freedom for their
kingly heads We're dropped on their

This park, like many of the 9th ers,
had large groves of trees and wood

birds singing. There are miles of
boulevard roads connected with the
parks many of them bordered with
roses, and there were beautiful shrubs
of every kind.

The streets We're bordered with
great maple and madrone trees. The
maple leaves grow much larger than
they do here. We brought home some
of them that measured twelve and
three-fourths by ten and one-half.
There are also giant ferns growing in
the country, some of them are six and
eight feet high, and in the agricultural
districts they are a pest, for their roots
grow very deep in the ground, and it is
hard to eXterminate them. All of our
dollhouse ferns grow wild in the woods
there, and you find messy dells that are
carpeted with the maidenhair fern.
The woods are also full of our eastern

One afternoon we visited the annual

FORD'S TRAVELS CONTINUED.

Mt Rainier is only about 100 miles
from Seattle and this wonderful snow
covered mountain is 1885 feet high,
the highest peak within the boundaries
of the forty eight states. 1t is visible
from nearly every part of Seattle, and
it's golden splendor when the sun is
shining on it makes a picture that one
can never forget. All kinds of Alpine
flowers grow in it's valleys and it's
many trails, and horseback rides take
you into a veritable Wonderland This
wonderful region is easily reached
over macadam roads by automobiles or
you can go on the steam cars Sew
eral aviators flew over the mountain
while We were in Seattle. and took
Photographs of it. We saw the pictures
in the daily papers.
When we arrived in Seattle the
Scotch broom was in blossom every
where. AS one poet has said of it, 1T
was riot of glory down every street"
We had never seen it before. and we
felt like worshiping it as the heathens
do the sun. The parks were ablaze
with it as well as the lawns.
There are twenty four. parks within
the borders of Seattle and all of them
have every accommodation for the
tourist or picnic party; tables and seats
and stoves are provided, as we'll as
tennis courts and golf grounds; also
swings and miniature lakes for the
children. Words fail me in describing
the beautiful beds of flowers. They
were gorgeous and magnificent. We
stood one night on a rise above the
cemetery and / wish you could see the
acres of roses. The headstones were
hidden in blaze of scarlet and pink
roses. The sight was SO beautiful that
we looked at it in silence, and turned
silently away marveling that such
beauty and splendor had been given to
mortals here below.
Another day we visited a green
house near the cemetery. One large
room was filled with orchids of many
kinds and colors. In the center of this
room was a large aquarium filled with
gold fish from Hawaii. They are not
like our gold fish, for their fins and
tails are shaped like orchids. and as
they float in the water they look like
flowers in motion. Another room was
filled with begonias some of them were
very lovely and all of them were
beautiful in coloring. In still another
room many rare tropical plants were
growing. The foliage of these plants
was luxuriant, and many of them had
grown over the ceiling and great
clusters of flowers hung from them.
There was no one there that day who
could tell us about them, so we could
only look at the wonderful blossoms
and wonder what land they came from.
None of the plants were for sale in this
large greenhouse. They were kept
there for the public to see daily from
a. m. till in the afternoon.
There were never any signs in any
of the parks to keep off the grass
Children played everywhere. Long
lines of autos were parked in rows, and
crowds of happy people were enjoying
tn emselves in various ways.
We saw all kinds of animals at
Woodland park. Four buffaloes and
two calves were feeding contentedly in

Not my soul what thou hast done.
But what thou art doing;
Not the course which thou hast run,
But which thou art pursuing;
Not the prize already won,
But that thou art wooing.
Thy progression, not thy rest
Striving not attaining
Is the measure and the test
OF thy hope remaiDing.
Not in gain thou'rt half so blest
AS in conscious gaining.
If thou to the past wilt go
OF experience learning,
Faults and follies it can show,
Wisdom clearly earning;
But the path once trodden know
Hath no more returning.
Let not thy good hope depart;
Sit not down bewailing;
Rouse thy strength anew, have heart
Meath despair assailing
This will give thee fairer start,
knowledge of thy failing.
Yet shall every rampant wrong
In the dust be lying.
Soon thy foes, thou proud and strong,
In defeat be flying;
Then shall triumphant song
Take the place of signing.

 But the young man is Dr. Ger teis' child-his documents prove it. said Crys He has been expensively educated, but not otherwise provided for. And as I am a feminist, I am going to make the people see that children born out of wedlock have rights as human beings, rights which the fathers seldom respect"

PETER RABBIT MAKES A DIS
 COVERY

ENeryoooy was getting ready for summer Yes, sir that is just what <N~ry body on the Green Meadows and
 the Green Forest and along the i-aughlng Brook and around the Sniilng Pool was doing To be sure, Was only the beginning of spring, nnt the spring is moving time, you know, and it is building time, and to ne nicely settled in d new home by the time sumemr comes one must be- k1n To plan very early. So these were busy days for everybody, in- ciocing Peter Rabbit. Not that Peter was planning a new home, Oh, my, no. Peter couldn't see any use in ooing that. But he was even buster Shan If he had been. You see if every body moved and Peter didn't know where they moved to he couldn't go make the calls he so dearly likes to make, and if he couldn't make the calls why he couldn't gossip, and that would be a terrible thing to Peter Rabbit.
 So Peter was one of the busiest of all the little meadow and forest people. He hardly had time to eat. In the first place there were so many of his feathereS friends returning from the south. There were new ar rivals every day and Peter had taken 1t upon himself to welcome them back to the Green Meadows and the Green Forest Just as he was the first one 10 greet Winsome the Bluebird so he was the first to hear the glad song of Littlee Friend the Song Sparrow and Redwing the Blackbird, and Bub- bling Bob the Robolink Of course, they all had news for him and, of course, Peter had to hurry around and tell the news to Johnny Chuck and Jimmy Skunk. and Jerry Muskrat and Inc' Billy Possum and all his other friends. most of whom were too busy with their own affairs to go hunting for news themselves. Peter had never been so happy in his life.
 Now with so much to think about Peter grew careless and needless. He was hurrying through a dark and lonesome part of the Green Forest early one morning when he noticed d queer little ball on the ground. Then he saw three or four more. They were very curious little balls. Peter had to stop and see what they were, for you know Peter is very, very curious They were at the bottom of a tall pine tree. Peter hopped over to the first one. That little ball was made of fur and tiny pieces of bone. Peter felt still more queer. What v could they mean and where had they come from? He looked up in the

 I kissed the little sister in law who had been such a trial ever since she came into the family She had found her place among us at last. She had been doing a good deal of reading while nursing Jim back to health. She concluded our talk with one of her half thought out ideas: "Monogamy is the ideal state for man and a woman who love each other. now, isn't it 9" I agreed very gravely. Ann went on:
