The same rule applies to the scent- ed leaf geraniums, rose, skeleton and oak leaf, and to coleus cuttings, which are very tender and must not be kept too wet, or they will rot, Oleanders are rooted in a wide- mouthed bottle of rain water kept in the sun. Take a strong budded cut- ting partly hardened and tuck cotton in the space between it and the edge of the bottle, so-as to hold it steady and not let it rest on the bottom of the glass. When long white roots form, pot and keep damp (not soak- img” wet), and shady until it gets used to its new quarters. Large oleanders are best wintered in the cellar, x Gloxinia bulbs are formed by put- ting large, strong leaves in a bottle of rain water, the same as an oleander, only keep in a more shady place. When a little bulb forms on the stem of the leaf, pot it carefully and after awhile the leaf will drop off and in due time the bulb will be another plant. Gloxinias and tuberous bego- nias need to be dried off and rested through the winter. I set mine away in the winter in a frost-proof closet, just as they were in the pots, and when they begin to show signs of growth toward spring hang them out to the light and water thoroughly, The Daphne odora is the hardest plant to root that I know of. I have rooted several slips, but they must be kept under glass damp and warm always, and I have sometimes had half a dozen failures before getting one to root and then they are provok- ingly slow to grow. In rooting tea roses always take a slip where a blossom has just fallen off, keep in a shady place with a lamp chimney or lantern globe over it till thc new leaves put out, and bring to_the sun gradual If the callas have been resting through the summer, as they should be, now is the time to divide and repot them in good, rich soil Also tkhis month is the time to pot freesia bulbs for winter blooming and set them away in the dark to make roots; - and about - January they will begin to gladden one's eyes and per- fume the house with their fragrant white or straw colored biossoms. Hyacinths and Easter lilles don't need attention till later. But methinks some of the sisters will think F have said enough on the subject.

A, K, REPLIES TO “A CRANK.” Dear Editor and Cornerites: I feel called upon to say a few words in self defense in reply to “A Crank’s” {gtter concerning J. A. K.s rheuma- ism. In the first place he seems to think whatever ills befall us, are all our own fault, and not ordered by a High- er Rower. If one tries the best he can to do what is prescribed to be for the best, and fails, do you think it is any fault of his? < I think there is a. Higher Power that controls us all in whatever we do; and whatever is ordered by that Power will come to us. I have ‘eaten no Tare or fresh meat for three yeéars, and very- little of any other. I- have been- under the doctor’s care for four month; He put me on the lowest kind diet and I was half starved all the time; no meat, no eggs, fish, clams, no sugar, or sweets. Coffee or tea I:have not used for years; nothing but water. I do not “prefer drugs to going with- out eating,” or “rheumatism to starv- ing” Hungry all the time, and still the rheumatism kept right on-its job. My diet now consists principally of fish, fruit ‘and vegetables; sometimes half an orange'ang a ginger cake is my breakfast. .I have . never.taken unwholesome food: of any- kind,' and cannot understand why. there should be so much uric &eid in ‘my system.

While Willie. was walking with Wilhelmina, Winona worried with worldly wisdom, warily watched Wil- helmina’'s wily ways, wishing wishes which would wither Wilhelmina's weeds, were wrong wishes worth while. While Willie wooed, Wilhelmina waxed wen with woful weeping, wondering why Willie was wasting whole wecks w ing, whereas wedding was what ‘Wilhelmina wanted!

The “Editor’ assisted by the “So- cial Cornmer Aunts” and “Enid" had been receiving the guests for the past half hour, and they were now free to mix with the masqueraders and join in the revelry.
