FULTON COUN' Y NEWS. ALL OVER THE HOUSE. Every Woman May Have an Indoor Bulb Garden. Every womnn should be her own florist. Then instead of being at. the mercy of Iho professionals, who in midwinter and spring are able to command exorbitant prices for their choicest blooms, the thrifty house wife who has exercised a little fore thought may fairlv revel in Wob eoms that cost her nothing at all. Those plants which are raised from bulbs may bo most successful ly mottnged by the amateur flower raiser. They require the minimum of attention and arc most lavish in their production of blossoms. The bulbs should be buried in terra cotta flowerpots, a wide pan being especially made for the ac commodation of such plants. After they are placed in the soil the bulbs should be sot in a warm cellar to germinate. When the leaf stalk be gins to push above ground, the plant may bo brought up stairs, but should then be covered with another pot in order that the light may not have a bad effect on the flower bud. Problema For the Housewife. Here are the problems that con front every conscientious housewife. Every woman who takes upon her self the responsibility of making a homo must solve them and all their ramifications one way or another. Surely the housewife has important issues enough in her hands without seeking a field for others. First and foremost come the buy ing, cooking and serving of some thing to eat. Second, the problem of cleanli ness. Third, tho servant problem. Fourth, the comfortable and ar tistic furnishing of the house and mnking it a pleanant place to stay. Fifth, the intellectual life of the home, for the attainment of which nil other factors become worth while. . Without this last crowning glory kept constantly as the chief aim housekeeping becomes the worst form of drudgery. The Right Way to Bake Potatoes. Wash and clean the skins of the potatoes without breaking. Put them on the grate in a moderately heated oven. If tho oven is too hot, the skins will at once harden, forming a nonconductirg surface, preventing the escape of water. Potntoes baked in this way are heavy and waxy, in digestible and unpalatable. As soon as the potato is soft upon slight pressure of tho finger remove it from the oven. Take it in your hand,, which should be protected with a napkin or towel, and care fully work the potato as though you were mashing it in the skin, being very careful not to break the skin. When the potato seems soft and mealy throughout, put it back on the grate in the oven, and so contin ue until all the potatoes have been subjected to this process. Ladies' Home Journal. Liver and Croutons. A delicious breakfast dish is calf'B liver hashed and served with crou tons. This hashed liver is an ex cellent dinner dish served as an en tree or with the main dish; such as broiled chicken or chops. Get a calf's liver of some reliable dealer and have it well trimmed. Boil it gently in water slightly salted. Add two onions cut in halves, two bay leaves and half a lemon. When the liver is done, set the kettle in a cool place and let it get quite cold before taking the liver out. Then chop it as fine as possible, put it in a sauce pan with a generous quantity of butter and enough hot water to keep it from sticking to the pan. Season slightly with salt and red pepper and let it cook ten minutes. Serve on a hot platter; ornament with long or diamond shaped croutons. The Troublesome Crack. Every one knows how exasperat ing the crack of on opened door may be, but not every one knows how readily if may be recovered so as to permit the occupant of the room to sit behind it secure from observation. Get three-eighths of a yard of cretonne that will match the paper and paint of the room in coloring. Cut it in strips a little over a finger wide and sew together. Line with silesia of the same color ing and put stout loops of the goods on either end, one to catch over the top of the door hinge and the other the bottom of the lower hinge. This covers the entire crack, so that the door may be left open for air or heat, while the bed or chair behind it remains hidden from persons passing through the hall. To Take Off Wax Candle Grease.

This fleet is manned by ninety otficerij and 500 men. AN IMPROMPTU CHEER. Cecil Ehodea was greaUy amused some time ago when he was coming home from the Cape on a Castle liner. While passing Cherbourg sev eral vessels of the French channel squadron were drawn up in line to salute the ex-Kinnresn Eugenie's yacht. The Frenchmen who were spread out on the yards of their vessels . shouted "Vive l'impera tricel" The Castle liner's captain, wish ing to show his respect to the em press, got his men ready to salute, but in the short time at his disposal he could not school his crew to re peat the French words. "Tell them to say 'Beef, lemons and chwse,'" suggested Rhodes play fully, and to his utter amazement the yacht was greeted with a deafen ing yell of "Beef, lemons and oheesel" which entirely drowned the voices of the French sailors. The ex-empress is stated to have expressed great pleasure at the com pliment afterward. A Query and Answer. Quite a long letter has come to us from a subscriber in Brookline, Mass. Perhaps it will be sufficient if we simply publish the final para-, graph: "Do you ever realize that the em onations of human thought are nev er isolated and abstracted so that they stand without the universal consciousness, but that instead they form one endless continuity where by through all the phases of litera ture, whether primitive or whether typical of high aesthetic cultivation, they are united by what is perhaps a subconscious but nevertheless an inherent and persistent striving aft er the complete and perfect expres sion of what is best in the human heart and intellect? Do you ever think of thisT Yes, sometimes. By the way, in a couple of weeks it will be about time for buckwheat cakes. Book man. An Unfortunate Example. Kins Victor Emmanuel, in spite of his courteous manners, is gifted with a quick wit and a sarcastic tongue at times. He was recently regretting that it was almost im possible for him to know truly what opinion his people had of him. One of the courtiers surrounding him' said it would be easy enough if the king would disguise himself as a student and visit the cafes and drinking shops of the populace arid added, "That is how Teter ffie Great acted." "That is true,' retorted the king, "but you seem to forget that Peter the Great used to hang those whom he thus overheard speaking ill of him. I think you had better choose another example." Home For All 8oldlers. A remarkable soldiers' home will be that now building at Johnson City, Tenn., where both Union and . Confederate soldiers in the civil war and volunteers in the war with Spain are to be harbored. This home will comprise thirty-five build ings, .among them a memorial hall, a mess hall, a chapel and a canteen. They will occupy a site a mile and three-quarters long and three-quarters oil a mile wide in the heart of the mountains. The grounds will be laid out by a landscape gardener, and each barrack will have its own park. Congress appropriated $1, 000,000 for the home. Chicago Journal. Smell by the Yard. The method of measuring smell adopted by M. Berthelot opens a wide field for investigation. A bot tle is filled with the odor of an odor ous substance, which is weighed be fore and after to determine the puantity of vapor, and measured fractions of this vapor are then poured from bottle to bottle until just enough remains in one to ex cite the nerves of smell. With iodo form the quantity was three-eighths of one-millionth of a grainy while a thousandth as much more would probably suffice. . A NATURAL BORN THIEF. Former Chief of Police Thomas Byrnes, walking down Broadway a few months ago with a friend, said : "See that man over there ? Well, he is a natural, born thief. I do not mean to intimate that he is a professional crook, but that he could not withstand the temptation to steal. He would steal just for the excitement." Now, it chanced one of those strange coincidences that so often occur1 that this man came to board in the same house where Mr. Byrnes' friend was. He recognized him when he made his appearance at tho dinner table, but naturally hesitated to communicate what Mr. Byrnes had said to his fellow lodg ers. Tho young man posed as the son of a wealthy manufacturer in a New England town who was hero attending a postgraduate course in medicine;. Polite and affable, though reserved he soon ingratiated him self into the good graces of all in the bouse and had the run of their rooms. J One morning he was miss ing, and it was discovered that there had been a wholesale robbery of th jewelry of all in the house New York Times. r Some people, pay as they go, and fathers only when the collec tor come after them.

A man in a buggy stopped his home beside a crowd of men in n remote corner of tho Dayton fair grounds hist fall, and beckoned them to approach. Daytou is ;i no-license town, and they sus pected from his manner that there was something doing. , "Gentlemen," he said in a sub dued tone as the crowd gatho: ed about the buggy, "I have some cold tea here put up iu pints. It's good stuff, and I am solliDg it a dolla; a pint. I" have to bo mighty careful. If you want it you'll have to bo quick, slip it iu your pockets and get away as soon as possible, for I am being watched. He pulled up tho oil doth cover on the rear of his vehicle and dis played a box filled with pints. In about three minutes it was all gone, and he drove off with a pocket full of silver. A moment later one of the young men who had been of the crowd that surrounded tho bug gy took a friend back of a photo grapher's tent, drew a bottle from his Inside pocket and told him to have a drink. His friend pulled tho cork, took a big swal low, and hastily spit it out, ox claiming. "That isn't whiskey!" "What!" exclaimed the other, "not whiskey? What in the blazes is it theu?" "It tastes like ordinary tea." "Well darn that measiry fakir! He said it was 'cold tea,' and I'll be Joe dogged if it ain't!" And he started out to look for the offender with blood in his eye. But he didn't find him. Punxsu tawuey Syirit. Hyndman. March 12. There was quite a flood here last Friday. Tho wa ter raised and run into the tan nery till the men were compelled to leave. The high waters took the county bridge and took the P. R. bridge, and took part of the B. O. till the trains were stopped. The water, also, ran into the houses and stores in Hyndman, till some of the people had to be hauled out to the hill. Mr. and Mrs. Billie Mellott,and Mr. and Mrs. Banks McNair, and Miss Ettio Hansel, and Miss Ella Welch visited Lewis Mellott's last Sunday. Lou Shafer is wearing quite a smile over the sweet little girl that came to his house to stay. S. F. Mellott's little girl, Geor gia, who has been sick, is some better now. Is B. A. Truax still living yet? We do not hear from him. There is a newspaper in Kan sas whose motto is "Lie, steal, drink and swear," and it is thus explained by the editor; When you lie, let it be down to pleasant dreams; when you steal, let it be away, from immoral associates; when you drink, let it be pure water; when you swear, let it be that you will not once but ever, patronize your home paper, pay your subscription, and not send your job work away from home. Priuco Henry did a graceful and popular act in placing a wreath on the monument of Abraham Lincoln at Chicago. He had pre viously expressed his regret at being unablo to visit the tomb of the great emancipator at Spring field. This tribute, following up on that from the same source to the memory of Washington, shows that the Nation's guest fully appreciates the work of tho men whom Americans delight to honor as their greatest leaders.

The dwarf trees of Japau have been a never ending source of Wonder to Europeans ever siuce the opening of tho hermit king dom to inspection by tho best of the world. A single pine, perfect in form and foliage, has recently sold for $1,000. It is six feet high and alleged to be 850 years old. It has long been snpposed that tho process by which Japa nese gardeners succeeded in dwarfing forest trees was a long aud costly one. It is now said that.it is a simple process aud that anyoue cau do the trick. The following directions are giv en for producing a minature oak tree: Take an orange and scoop out the pulp. Fill the interior with a rich mold and plant an acorn in tho centre of it, leave the hole in tho rind of it to sprout through. Put it iu a sunny place and water it frequently. Soon after the first shoots have appeared the roots begin to break through the orange skin. Take a sharp knife and shave these off carefully and keep them shaved. The tree will grow about live or six inches high and then stop. In a year it will be a perfect miu iature oak. When the roots cease to grow the orange skin should be varnised over and imbedded in a flower pot. The Japanese dwarf all kinds of trees and make them live to a great age. Some of these dwarfs, like the Chabo Hida are well known and their owners have documentary evidence attesting their great age. The older they are the more valuable, of course, they are In Japan certain fam ilies follow the calling, trade, art or what you will of growing dwarf trees from generation to genera tion, and you can buy a miniature oak 500 years old from a descend ant of tho man who first planted the acorn. Not only forest trees, but fruit trees and flowering shrubs, are dwarfed by these clev er gardeners. Richest Man in America. The richest man in all the world to-day is an American mi ner, lie has made every dollar I he is worth working American j mines. He is not yet much past the prime of life, and he was elec- j ted to tho United States Senate fr.jtn Montana only a few months ago. His name is William A. Clark. He went to the Rocky mountains about thirty-five years ago, with no other capital than good health, a pretty fair educa tion, and to-day he is the richest man iu all the world has more wealth than any other individual in all the world has ever posses ed has so much wealth that the Rothschilds, the Vanderbilts and the Carnegies are poor men com pared with him.

From Portland, Orgeon, comes the information that steps are being taken to procure a number of woodpeckers and yellow-hammers for introduction into tho Hawaian islands, which appeared to be suffering from the ravages of wood-borers. The Hawaians are making a sad mistake in undertaking to im port pest-destroyers. One would think they would be better satis fied to suffer the posts that na ture has given them, after their investigation and experiences with remedies a few years ago. Tho islands were then suffering from some reptilian pest, aud the government wrote to the colonial secretaries of Jamaica.asking for information regarding the mon goose, whoso fondness for rep tiles is notorious. What was then learned induced tho Hawaians to abandon any serious thought of iutroducing the mongoose. It would seem that nature will uot tolerate interference, and it has come home forcibly to those who have interfered that invari ably tho remedy is worse that the disease when trying exterminate pests. iNbt long ago, according to the New York Commercial, the West Indies suffered much from rats iu the cane brakes, and the plant ers there introduced the mon goose. Very soon rats and rep tiles disappeared, and the mon goose made himself and family thoroughly at home. Then the poultry yard got thinned out, and eventually iu despair the Texan tick was introduced to kill the mongoose. This failed, and the tick has also tome to stay, prefer ing cow flesh to the mongoose, which resulted in Texan fever among the cattle. In thiscountry theEnglish spar row was introduced to destroy insects that were injuring vegeta tion in some sections. They kill ed and devoured tho insects, but have taken possession of the land and are a greater pest than the insects ever were or could become. And so pests increase instead of diminish by interfering with ua ture. People had better suffer the ills they have than fly to those they know not of. The Hawaians would be wise to think tho matter over before introducing remedies for -pes ts. State Register.
