Anna Lyman in Success with Flow erg, thns informs us how we may make onr Collas "euro to bloom:" "How in the world do you make your Collas bloom, one bud after another, all Winter?" said a lady, look ing at my plant shelf. "The easiest Elant to manage, said I, is a Calla. ,et it rest all Summer in some out-of-the-way corner of the yard, and late in August pot it with the richest earth you oan find. A little dried and pow dered hens droppings please the Calla immensely. I put this in the very bot tom of the pofB, so that the roots will not come in direct contact with it; keep the large saucer full of water, and yonr Calla will bloom. Abutilons are lood companions on the window shelf. The red and yellow are constant bloom ers, and they almost care for them selves. If you can raise enough Calla blossoms at one time, and want to give a surprise at your tea table, cut the dowers, remove the yellow part inside-, nil the pure white cup with ice cream, and place at the plate of each guest" PLOWEB NOTES.

Both Shot in the Air. Fitz Greene Washington, a (Treat- great grand-nephew of George 'Wash- ngton, has recently described the lamilton-Burr duel as it was seen by lis grandfather, Captain Fitz Hughes, n the following words: "When Captain Hughes discovered that his friends had gone to fight, he look a boat and a couple of slaves poth of them good oarsmen and i'owed as fast as possible to the battle ground. He got there in time to see the tight occur as follows, but not to stop it, as was his hope: Hamilton and Burr were each to fire twice or thrico at one another. At the word of com mand for the first fire Hamilton fired at Burr, and Burr fired in tho air Hamilton, of course, missing Burr but at the second firing Hamilton fired in the air and Burr shot Hamilton. Hamilton thought Burr meaut to kill him as he meant to kill Burr; there fore, Hamilton, at the first firing, aimed to shoot Burr. Burr, deeming that Hamilton would, of course, at the next shot endeavor again to shoot him, of course changed his tactics and thot Hamilton. Hamilton, wishing not to bo outdone by Burr, and presuming that Burr would again make no ellbrt to shoot him, fired his pistol off in the air. This is the true history of the duel fought by these two great men." New York Independent. "August Flower" There is a gentle Dyspepsia, man at Malden-on- the-Hudson, N. Y., named Captain A. G.
