A little box, with clean sand, always comes in nice for sticking cut- tings in. Pick off all flowers as fast as they fade. Do not let plants bear seed unless you need it. Plants that have grown in the same pot for a long time should be repotted. If n0t con~ venient to do so. give them a good to? dressLng of manure. Straggling plans should be cut back. Tall ones need Strong but 511m stakes. At this sea.- son of the yea- pot plants should net be exposed too long to t -e fierce rays of sun. Liquid manure may be ap- plied one a week to all vigorous grow- ing plants. and will increase the size of the flowers. Then- Scope and hmbcr-Thc English That One Finds In Them.

A French Che-ls: thins to Have lade a : Renal-table vaery. For countless ages the leng suffer- ing hen has been an overworked crea- ture. Her humbie occupation of lay- ing eggs, has brought her little giory, and yet. she has never compiained. She has cheerfully performed her duties, and when old age has incapacitated her for further useiuiness as an egg pro- ducer she has accepted with fortitude her fate as the central figure in the ‘ homeiy petpie of the enigmetical hoard- irg house gtew. But it is as a. patient layer of eggs that her life work is ‘ Best known. Now. however, fame promises to perch on her brow, and her faithful- ness to duty is about to be awarded, :1 French chemist has discovered that hens can no: only digest iron easfi), but. that it is transmitted to the alou- men in their eggs. In his experiments he has given salt of iron to hens With their re;~ iar diet of cracked wheat, and has found that they produce eggs highly impregnated with a. health pro- ducing property. which is in turn readily digested by the human stom- ach. The Frenchman is said to be ex- perimenting in p. similar manner With Other drugs, netabiy pepsin and man- ganese. ‘ Here are untold possibilities for the Here are untold possibilities for the hen. She may eventually drive the manufacturer of pills and powders out of business entirely. If we have dys- pepsia. the hen will lay an egg for us that will cause us to feel at pe; ee with all the world. If our liver is t-erid there Wili be an egg for that. For :1 bad cold take an egg impregnated with quinine. In fact. the usual query. “Haw will you have your egg this morning i" will assume quite a. new un- portance. The time may not be far distant when. instead of having a fam- iiy physician. all that will be necessary will be to keep a hen. Persons Should be Auowcd to lie Flat ['90]: Their Back. Fainting is due to a temporary and transient weakening or pause of the heart’s action, which causes a suspen- sion of the circulation of the blood in the brain. It is this fact which causes the 10$ of consciousness. This is ac- companied with a loss of muscular power, so that the person, if stand- ing. falls. ' If peeple wouid only understandand constantly remember that nature wisely takes care of the person who : faints, and put them_ in the best posi- tzon for recoveryâ€"aha! is. lying down â€"1he foolish p: notice of making a pi'llcm of something {0 put under the head or trying to make the one “ho has fainted, sit up, \wuld cease. This is the very worst thing that could be done. Usually no treatment is re- quired at all in fainting. The first, the indispensable thing to do. is to Lay the person down flat at onceâ€"the head nmSt be as low as the bodyâ€"then raise the 193:5 and body a few inches from the ground, the feet 3.x or eight ix Apt-“3 thereby causing the head to be lower than the body, and consciousness will return immediately. Holding smelling salts to the nose tends to exczte the nerves of sensation, and by arousing the brain and heart to renewed activity, are useful. A New Game Recently Worked on a Paris Jeweler. A swell young woman not long ago drove up in :1 handsome private car- riage to a well-known lunatic asylum, situated a few miles from Paris, and requested to see the proprietor. Her wish being acceded to, she informed the doetor that she desxred to place her husband under his care to see if a cruel mania, under which he labor- ed, viz., “that he had lost a large quantity of JG\V€lS," could not be re- moved. After some hesitation the doctor consented, and the woman drove away directly to a jeweler's' in Paris, and selected jewels to the value of several thousand dollars and requested one of the ehopmen to go with her in her car- riage to procure the money for the goods she had taken. She drove with him to the asylum, and. arriving there, he was shown tnto a room. The lady then sought the doctor, told him of the arrival of her husband, and, getting into her carriage again drove away. The rest may be imagin- ed, but the poor fellow was confined several days before it was-found they bath had been “sold," and the lovely lady never came back.
