ABOUT THE PERENNIALS
The perennial 1b essentially the busy
woman's favorite class of plants.
These hardy plants are propagated by
cutting and division which may be
done now.
When dividing such plants as peren
nial phlox, golden glow, feverfew,
ddlBy, peony, see that a crown, shoot
or bud Is allowed each new plant,
Plant In rich soil that has been deep
ly spaded.
If you have a choice perennial phlox
f which you wish to Increase your
6 took take a shoot, pinch out the ter
minal bud. cut oft the first pair of
Jeaves, and the second pair wholly,
nd stick the cutting In wet sand,
Place In the window with the house
plants.
For the sunless window provide a
few plants such as ferns, palms, Ivies,
tradacanties, araucarias, dragon trees
nd the like.
By all means make a comport heap
Gather Into a sheltered corner or
thed, sods, weeds, refuse from the
Kitchen and garden, w ood ashes, bones,
rough manure, rotting chips, sawdust
and the like.
If It has to be mado outside throw
boards over It to avoid leaching. Stir
frequently and pour soapsuds over It.
Do not neglect to pot a clump or
two of sweet alyssum. Cut the tops
back within two or three Inches of
the roots; give sun and water, and
you will soon be rewarded with a lot
of honey-scented blooma
Do not be Impatient with your ge
raniums If they seem lazy. As soon
aa they become pot bound they will
flower; then they should have a week
ly dose, of liquid manure.
Sweet peas may be planted In the
fall In a well-drained spot. Plant a
little deeper than In spring, and
mulch.
Sow three or four seeds of the
large flowering mignonette In a pot,
and thin to one. This plant has a
long tap root, and does not take kind
ly to transplanting. It makes a de
lightful window plant.
Cuttings of roBeB hardy and tender
may be made now. Cut Klips four
to eight inches long, with a strong bud
near the tip, bury It to within an inch
of the top bud in a sheltered and well
drained spot, firming the soil well
about It.
Then turn an old glae can, tam
bler or broken bottle orer it. V.hen
the ground freezes bury It with straw
or leaves.
In the spring you will find that the
cutting has rooted, and you may dis
pense with the glass covering.
Now is the time to plant for next
year's garden. This is done by pro
curing slips, seeds and roots; by
preparing the beds and borders for
arly spring planting, and by planning
to avoid the mistakes made this and
former years.
A novel and Interesting addition to
the window garden is a pot of grow
ing strawberries.

CARE OF COSMOS
By taking a little trouble in the
summer Cosmos can be kept bloom

In planting the late blooming sorts

few more plants than are needed into
as small pots as they will go, or If
you prefer, buy seeds and sow them
In April or early May.
As the plants grow, pinch out the
ends of the growth when they be
come two or three inches long, and
repot as they need it.
The Cosmos is a gross feeder and
a rapid grower, requiring a rich,
well-drained soil composed of garden
loam, horse manure and one part
sand.
Grow the plants out of doors in
summer, keep the pots in soil or fine
coal ashes. Lift the pots around oc
casionally, so the plants cannot root
Into the ground. Water abundantly
Upon the approach of frosty weath
er, the plants must be taken indoors
or In the cellar, wnere tney cannoi

flowers the plants will continue to
bloom until Thanksgiving.
OLD-FASHIONED FLOWERS
There should be a corner In the
home garden for the old-fashioned
flowers, of our grandmothers and
mothers. The fragrant pink and
sweet-william, the sun-warmed mari
gold, the scented mignonette and the
dainty sweet-alysBum that bo often en
circles all the others with its white
border. How they each and every one
flash into our hearts, memories of oth
er days and of lovely faces now gone,
and how they (inspire us to a higher
and better life) which must be begun
here to c.e.ih into the beyond.

plenty of water, and watch results.

Billy Sunday Telia Good Story of How
Farmer Stopped Visits of
Trampa Were (fuapicloua
of Effusive Welcome.
Hilly Sunday, the eviinRPllnt. siild ot
a fashionable reception In his honor
in Philadelphia:
"A good many people are mistrust
ful of religion. 1 don't know why It
Is, but there's a lot of people as nils
truHtful of religion uud the rellKioUH
as the tramp wus inlntruHtful of the
farmer.
" 'I don't know what to do about
this tramp evil,' a farmer once said to
me. 'I've put up slns about bewar
ing of the man trap and look out for
the savage dog and take care of tho
spring gun, but It don't seem to do
any good at all, Mr. Sunday. The
tramps molest me something
rible.'
"'Well, Brother Brown," said I,
Just put up a big sign reading,
tramps welcomed at Brown's."
ter-
'you
"All
and
then. later on, let me know the result.'
"Brown thought I was Joking at first,
but when ho saw I was In earnest he
went straight off home and put up a
big sign over his gate 'All tramps
welcome here, John nrown' that you
could read half a mile away.
"I met him again the following
year. He said the sign had worked
like a miracle. Ever since he put It
up he had only Bet eyes on one tramp
and that had been by accident. He
came on the tramp accidentally as
the fellow stood under the sign, look
ing up at It and reading It over and
over with a kind of quizzical, sarcas
tic smile playing about his mouth.
"'Hello!' Bays Farmer Brown, grin
ning over the fence at the tramp
very friendly.
"The tramp sneered. Then he burst
into a bitter laugh and said:
" 'Hello, mister. How many cops
have you got hidden In there?'
" 'Why. none none at all," says
Parmer Brown, In a hurt, surprised
voice.
"The tramp gave another bitter
laugh. 'How mnny bulldogs have you
got, then, mister?'
" 'There ain't a dog about the place,'
says the farmer. He opened the gate
a little ways, but the tramp Jumped
back, so scared like, the farmer closed
it again out of pity. 'You can come
in and see for yourself if you don't
believe me about the dogs.' he says.
" 'Oh, yes, I know,' said the tramp.
He was pale and shaking all over
from the start he got when the gate
opened. T know all about that, he
said; 'but tell me how many bear
traps you've got set In there that
would bite a poor fellow's feg off.'
" 'Nary a bear trap,' said the farm
er. 'Nary a bear trap.'
" 'Has a man got to do a hard day's
work to get a measly meal of scraps?'
burst out the tramp.
" 'Nothing of the kind,' said the
farmer. 'You come right in, young fel
low, and I'll give you a three-course
hot supper for nothing, and If you
want to stay all night we'll fix you up
a warm bed on the floor by the kitch
en fire."
"The tramp stared hard at the farm
er a minute and then he smiled a kind
of pitying, patronizing smile and
said:
" 'You can't work that little game
on me. This is my eleventh year on
the road.'
"'What game?' said Farmer
Brown. 'What game are you talkln'
about?'
" 'Puttln' rough on rats in the cof
fee and sellln' our remains to the
medical college for a dollar apiece,'
said the tramp, winking at the farm
er. 'Oh, no. Brownie, old boy! Oh,
my, no! Not on your life! Ha, ha,
ha! Aber! This is my eleventh year
on the road, I'm tellln' you.'
"And the tramp took a cigar butt
from the pocket of his ragged coat,
lit It with a sulphur match, and
strutted Jauntily away, his head near-1
ly hidden in big smoke clouds."
Canner and Commissariat.
The unique position of the United
States as regards foodstuffs has Just
been emphasized at a canners' con
vention In Chicago. Famine is im
possible in this country, and more
than that, at no season of the year
are Its inhabitants cut off from all
the good things nature provides for
man's sustenance. A wonderful range
of climate makes it possible to have
the year around green vegetables and
fruits grown in the open, and at prices
in reach of the humblest pocketbook.
This Is supplemented by the art of
the canner, who successfully preserves
the summer's surplus bounty against
the cold, gray days of winter and robs
tlfat season of any terror It might ever
have held, sp far as food is concerned.
It is not alone famine that is avoid
ed, but certain diseases once preva
lent, due to malnutrition incident to
a lack of proper food, have vanished
from the United States. In this way
the processes of preserving foods have
also been useful in the matter of
preservation of health.
Saving Lives.
The fight to save human lives it
America has been eminently Buccess-i
ful during the last few years and the
loss from preventable diseases has
been materially reduced. Perhaps the
greatest improvement has been in ty
phoid fever, where sanitation and
medical treatment have worked to
gether to good effect. In the field of
tuberculosis a great deal has been
accomplished, although not as much a3
was originally hoped for. In this dis
ease it is largely a case of money to
get enough to give the victims of "the
white plague" the treatment they need.
Chinese and Japanese.
Chinese and Japanese do not speak
the same language, nor can they be
said to have the same religion. Con
fucianism is the prevailing faith of
China, while Buddhism is the chief re
ligion of Japan. Geometry probably
had its rise in Egypt, thougbit was
perfected by the Greeks.
