The Baltimore Manufacturers' Re
cord, makes a good suggestion when,
in speaking of the large and profit
able trade that Is done in ornament-
,al dried plants and grasses, it says :
"There is a certain market for ev
erything new and pretty that has
6umcient,durability. In no part of
the world is there a greater variety
of natural growths that meet these
conditions than in the South. On
uplands and lowlands, in forests and
swamps are vines and weeds, palms,
lerns ana mosses tnat could Degatti-
ered, dried and marketed to the
great profit of those wko did it. , The
more flexible the fibre, the more
delicate and feathery the tracery,
the more highly the grasses are ap
preciated." The growths mentioned are used
for decorative and ornamental pur
j j i
poses and are imported in large

can be enlarged until they attain

Another, probably getting some
idea of the meaning from the first

Printers' Mistakes.
From the Atlanta Constitution.
"Jerusalem !"
Was the exclamation of the man
aging editor as he threw himself into
his easy chair and wiped the per
spiration from his brow.
"Anything wrong?" asked one of
his associates who had been too busy
to peruse the mornifig paper.
"Wrong? Wrong, hell! Have you
read my 'leader' on 'The Situation
in France'?"
"No."
The cause of the managing edit
or's indignation was just, and it was
about as follows :
He had taken extra pains to pre
pare an editorial on "The Situation
in France," and had occasion to
write, "when Louis Phillipe ascend-"
ed the throne of France."
The intelligent compositor set in
type, "when Sam Phillips abscond
ed, the thieves of France."
When the editor saw the proof he
was too full for utterance, and with
a dash of the pen he wrote on the
margin, ''Who the hell is Sam Phil
lips?" never dreaming but what the
printer would accept the rebuke and
see copy and set it as the editor had
written it.
The printer failed to see an' re
buke in the matter, but on the con
trary seemed elated over his skill in
having set a half column in the ed-
itors hand write with only one "out,"
as he took the WOrds on the margin
0 mean.
The compositor soon j)aj lnc mat
ter run over nnd the addition o
h lhe hej is gam Phillips?" met
the eyes of the astonished and indig
nant editor in the morning paper.

Death to Potato Bugs.
Commissioner John Robinson fur
nishes the following: reoine for de-
str0ying potato bugs :
Take wood ashes and sift them
fine through aflourseive. Mipari?
green with the ashes until thorough
ly combined, in about the propor
tion of one ounce of paris green to
one gallon of ashes. Take some of
thig mixture in a seive and dust it
,. , L, . , .
hS7 on the vines, so that they
may be slightly sprinkled with the
dry stuff. Early in the morning is
tue best time to apply it. This plan
, . , , . .
decidedly better than using pans
greeu mixed with water for the rea:
son that the poison remains on the
leaves and the bugs get the benefit
of the dose as soon as they move
, . ... , . , J.
about' whlle those on whlch ll falIs
are done for within a few hours
When applied with water most of
the poison run3 off the leaves at
mtna anA t,OD vt ,Una aa.
Remember that paris green is a
violent poison and should be care-
fully handled. It need not be touch-
ed with the hands at all, and persons
with a sore or cut about the hands
should not touch or mix it. Sift
the ashes on newspaper and put in
the poison and stir through with a
stick.

Didn't Know All His Neighbors;
A' distinguished clergyman once
asked' a gentleman to contribute
money for foreign missions, and re
ceived the reply :
"I don't believe in foreign, mis
sions. I don't give anything except
to home missions. I want to bene
fit my neighbors."
"Well," responded the doctor,
'whom do you regard as your neigh
bors?"
"Why, those around me."
"Do you mean those whose land
oins yours?"
"Yes."
"Well, how much land do you
own ?"
"About 500 acres."
"How far down do you own it?"
"Well, I never thought of it be
fore, but I suppose I own half way
through."
"Exactly," was the reply. "I sup
pose you do, and I want this money
for the Chinese, the rrun whose land
joins yours on the bottom."
