How They Can Be Cultivated Easily
In Houses.
More women would grow flowers In
the house If there was not an errone
ous Impression that it required too
much skill and an abuudance of time.
There are, perhaps, certain kinds of
flowers. such as roses und carnations,
which do not respond well to the effort
of the amateur, but bulbs rarely full.
Their culture is simple in the extreme
—a good potting soil containing plenty
of sharp sand, a long |>eri<>d of seclu
i sion In the dark to make root growth
and gradual bringing to the light.
It Is at this period that most women
are at a loss as to the proper care of
plants. They cannot fall if they remem
her these few pointers on pot grown
bulbs:
The best temjierature for root growth
is 40 degrees, for leaves aud stems GO
degrees and for the best bloom 60 de
grees. The ordinary living room is too
hot for successful bulb growing. The
cooler the room the longer the flowers
last and the larger they are.
Bringing the |s>tted bulb directly
from the dark Into the hot living room
is the cause of short stems and stunted
foliage.
Do not have too strong a light when
the bulbs are flrst brought in from t ye
dark. A shelf away from the window
where the temperature Is about 50 de
grees Is best until the flower buds be
gin to show.
Bulbs should never be kept In a tem
perature of 70 degrees, unless they are
to be quickly forced.
It pays to buy a high grade of bulbs
If you would not be disappointed in re
sults.
If the soil in the yard Is too heavy
for potting It can be lightened by mix
ing sand with it. Never bring manure
in contact with bulbs. It Is fatal to
them.
To tell whether a pot Is filled with
roots turn It upside down, tap the edge
gently, and the ball of earth will come
out in the hand.

went out among the wounded and ad

was able. Wheu the long trenches for
the dead were dug she assisted in the
burials. The wounded'were so numer

Dogau gave up her bed sheets and
towels to the surgeons and assisted
them in preparing the bandages. An
hour before the second battle Stone
wall Jackson sent one of his staff to
tell Mrs Dogan that "there was goiug
to be a fight near her place" and ud
vised her to get it way. Before she
could start the first guns were tired.
A sick woman whom Mrs. Dogan bad

battle began. Before the last tight a
forest stood around the little town.

In ventilating a sick chamber it is
often desirable and necessary to leave
the window open to secure fresh air.
The best way to do this is to tack a
piece of muslin across the open win
dow by means of thumb tacks. If the
air is chilly this will keep the drafts
off the patient and will keep out the
dust and dirt which might otherwise
be blown in. If the day is hot and
sultry, and these days are the hard
est and most trying on a sick person,
an Ideal way to ventilate, purify and
cool the air is to open the window or
windows and stretch a piece of mus
lin across the opening, then lower the
shades to where the window Is open
ed, and after this has l>een done thor
oughly saturate the muslin with cold
water. Then place a large basin or
pail of cold water under or near the
bed. If this Is done It often will en
able a restless patient to obtain some
much needed sleep and rest. As soon
as the muslin becomes dry wet It
again.
How to Clean Satin Slippers.
If you wore satin slippers last win
ter and find upon taking them out this
season that they are soiled, it is well
to clean them at once. If the satin Is
but slightly soiled get some pieces of
stale bread and rub the surface gently
with It. This takes off all small dis
colorations. Kneaded rubber will do
the same work, although some women
do not like it because It crumbles off
on the satin. If the slipper Is still
soiled looking after this treatment, rub
the entire surface with the thread.
Remember not to go against or across
It. White flannel should be used—a
clean piece—dipped tn spirits of wins.
If this rubbing Is done gently and
evenly over the surface, the effect la
excellent.
How to Make .Cabbage Salad.
For a cabbage salad make a dressing
with a quarter of a cup of flour and
two level tablespoonfuls of butter rub
bed together and cooked with a cup of
vinegar. Add a beaten egg, a pinch of
salt and a scant teaspoonful of mixed
mustard. Beat all the time It la cook
ing. Cool and add at the time of serv
ing two tablespoonfuls of thick cream,
beaten, a teaspoonful of sugar and a
few dashes of pepper. Shred or chop
some cabbage and pour the dressing
over. (Tarnish with hard boiled egga
cut In quarters and then across one*
Add also a few sprigs of parsley.
How to Make a Shoo Bag.
A handy shoe bag for traveling may
be made from linen or any stout ma
terial. Make Two oblong bags exactly
alike. To make the bags cut the linen
in four pieces eighteen Inches long by
seven wide. Place two together and
bind firmly with braid. Turn over a
hem at the top three inches deep and
draw up with braid. One drawstring
bolds the bags together. The word
“Shoes’* may ta embroidered on each
bag In double outline stitch.
Hew to Iron Embroidered Collars.
When Ironing stocks for the neck or
embroidered linen collars iron them on
a thick towel which has been folded
three or four times and laid on the
board Stocks ironed in this manner
will appear like new, and If you Iron
the embroidered linen collars on the
wrong side on this folded tbwel the
embroidery pattern will stand out In
bold relief.
How to Wash Handkerchiefs Easily.
To wash handkerchiefs easily place
the handkerchiefs to soak overnight In
salt water that Is so strong ft is nearly
a brine. In the morning lift the hand*
kerchiefs out with a stick and rinse la
warm water, after which It will be no
task to wash them la the usual way.
