BORDER FLOWER FOR
GARDENS.
Home Garden Advice.

For bordering large beds or for use
in producing masses of blue, the
dwarf lobelias cannot be surpassed
among the ANNALS. They often prove
failures because not enough care is
used in planting the seed. which is
very fine and powdery. Planted in
the open ground, only a small per-
centage of the seed is likely to pro-
duce plants, as it is easily washed
out by the rains, and the tiny plants
are uprooted and destroyed just when
terminating. 1t should be sown in
boxes where it can be cared for and
watered gently. There Is no diff
Guilty in raising a fine supply of plants
with this precaution.
Set six inches apart. these little
plants speedily make compact bushes
covered with their small blossoms,
ranging from the deepest and richest
blues to pure white. 1t is a popular
flower for carpet bedding and is used
each year by the thousands in park
paintings. However, its finest effect
is as narrow edslng or in patches
border. where it will bloom continu-
ously till cut down by killing frosts.
The more robust lobelias or trail
ing forms are fine plants for window
boxes or hanging baskets. They have
the same rich blue flowers as the
dwarf bedding varieties and produce
in great profusion on graceful sprays
which will droop over the edges "of
the box or basket.
They respond to rich soil and plenty
of water

Beefsteak Pudding.

Cut two pounds of beefsteak into
thin slices about three inches in
length and width. but not necessarily
uniform in shape: mix one table
spoon of -four, one teaspoon of salt
and one-half a teaspoon of pepper
together on a plate. and dip each slice
of meat in the mixture. Make one
pound of suet paste, cut off about
one-fourth of 1t, put it aside for
the cover and roll out the remainder
to the size of the dish, which must
be previously creased. Line the dish
with the paste, put in the meat
sprinkle the rest of the seasoning
mixture between the layers and leave
spaces to admit water. thus prevent
ing the buildings becoming too dry
Fill the dish three,fourths full of
boiling water, which extracts less
of the juices of the meat than cold
water: put on the cover and moisten
and seal the edges. If the pudding
is to be boiled, tie over it a scalded
and Toured pudding cloth. If it is
to be steamed. cover it with a creased
paper. Let the water be boiling,
put in the pudding and boil for three
and one-half hours, or steam for
four hours.

 What Browns Must Do.
 On the other hand, the Browns must prove their case by taking at least two out of three. The last of the series in toto, would not mean the loss of the pennant. as would probably follow with the itinerant Tanks, but since things equal to the same thing are equal to each other, the F'oh1 entry would not feel exact ly jocular about the situation.
 The next stop is-Detroit. The Tigers have knocked the Yankees off in nearly every seraes and although Cobb's ball club is slipping while the Yankees have played .750 baseball since July 20 there are pitchers on the Detroit payroll who seemly, can win from New York before the an nouncer gets through with the bat teries.
 The final stand of the trip is in Cleveland. The Indians are still dangerous, particularly against a ball club that may look bit careworn at the end of long journey.
 The opportunity of a life time is slipping from the Tanks. They hoped and expected to conclude their eastern gam es with a fairly Tespecta- ble lead. Instead, they are in front hY a half game.

St. Louis New York

The respective pennant chances of the New York Yankes and the St. Louis Browns from this date may be summed up in the following manner, to wit:
 The Browns must beat one ball club, the Yankees, two out of three games, starting Sept. 16, and ending Sept. IS. The Yankees must beat everything west of the Aieghenies.
