Flowerpots.
All new flowerpots rei}fltr* to be
?oaked lu water and allowed to dry
thoroughly before being used. The soil
does nut hang well to the sides of gar
den pots unless so treated. Dirty pots
are open to tin- sauie objection. I.et I
any oue try to put a plant with fresh
soil iuto a pot which has beeu used
before and left unwashed, aud be will
And In a few days, when the soli be
gins to dry. (hat it leaves it space and
does not rjhero as It should to the
sides of it. No plant can possibly i
flourish uuder such circumstances. Th-1
roots of a plant draw to the sides of a
pot naturally in .search i>f moisture,
aud growth of course Is checked If a
current of air is nlloweil to pass be ,
tweeo them and the sides. Some plants '
exhibit this tendency In such a remark ]
able degree that few roots are to be |
seen, except ;i network on the outside
of the soil next the pot.
Digestible Food.
One of I lie biggest mistakes about
1 food which people make is to forget
that the true value of food to auybody
Is the measure of its digestibility. Half
a pound of cheese is vastly more nour
ishing as regard* its mere composition
than half a pound of lieef, but while
the beef will be easily digested and
?hus l>e of vast service to us the cheese
is put out of court altogether for ordi
nary folks by reason of its indigesti
blllty. We should bear this rule iu
mind when we hear people comparing
one food with another iu respect to
their chemical value. ? London Hospi
tal.
Fish, Flesh. Herring.
"Neither fish nor llesh nor good red
herring" occur* In Hryden's epilogue
to his Puke of fJulse ilS2i. The epi
logue t iikes the form of a dialogue be
tween the actress who s|K>ke It and n
trimmer and ends with this exclama
tion:
D neuters. In their middle way of |
steering;
They're neither (Ish nor flesh nor good red
herring.

A Matter of Necessity.
"Now." said the physician,* "you will
have to eat plalu food and not stay
out late at night."
"Yes." replied the patient, "that is j
what I have been thinking ever glnce
you sent In your bill."
A Pretty Paradox.
"The i-hnrmiog debutante upsets all
received maxims."
"How so?"
"By proving that a miss can also be
a hit."? Baltimore American.
Now that Spring is here, the thoughts of the house
keeper naturally turns to house cleaning and
