At a recent meeting of the Photo.
graphic Society of Geneva, Switzerland,
Professor H. Fol presented a paper on
resemblances in married couples. Ac-
cording to the British Journal of Pho
Biography, he stated that out of seventy
eight young couples Photographed for the
purpose of his Investigations, he found
that in twenty-four cases the resem-
blance in the personal appearance of the
husband and wife was greater than that
of brother and sister, in thirty cases it
was equally great, and in only twenty
four was there total of absence of re-
semblance.

Lunacy from Tobacco.

A queer case of lunacy resulting from
the tobacco habit is reported from Wa

an old and respected citizen, suddenly
became deranged and developed an
abnormal craving for the weed, which
he devours voraoiously and with the
same gusto with which most people eat
fruit and other toothsome articles Of
consumption. He eats it constantly,
and gets away with about pound Of
plug every day. He is showing the ef-
fects of the poison to marked degree,
and it is thought the drug will ulti-
mately cause his death.

Beside the gate o lilac fair

And from the chimney In the air
A smolle-skein softly curls.

And cradles in its drapery
An ashen hornets nest.
Bright tulips at the doorway set

There is struggling hedge Of box
Beneath the drowsy trees;
The air is rich with rose and phlox
And nurmurous with bees.
The happy insects drono and hum
Mid daisies white as curds,
And In the swaying peer and plum
Ripple the songs OF birds.
The garden pathway wanders through
The quiet shade until
Beneath an elm It falls into

And all the balmy scene
Melts softly from my view behind
A cedar's billowy green.

love as respect for the famous soldier.
He was the soul Of courtesy, and was
fond OF his fellow-man, while his
daughters are both reserved, stately
women, loving travel and study, and live
rather secluded from society. Miss
Mary Lee has reputation for extreme
haughtiness even among the most pas
sionate Southern admirers of the late
General. With q proud, calm face, and
great repose Of bearing, she rarely ex-
presses interest in any place or person
She dresses very plainly, assumes
to no special dignity OF position,
and impresses strangers as more
anxious to be let alone than
have to attentions shown her. Miss Lee
has become one Of that ever-increasing
colony OF Americans who find in Cont
mental Europe freedom from social re-
sponsibility that oppresses them ct

Egypt, and to friends in Virginia with
whom she still corresponds she confes-
ses to the ever-increasing fascination
Eastern life and customs have for her.
Miss Mildred Lee Is also rathcr severe
in her demeanor, and spends most of
her time cultivating pretty talent she
has for sketohing and doing bits of

We shall try the new method of grow

the runners as they show signs of taking
root and roofing them in a shady place
in pots, tin cans or boxes. These are set
out when good strong plants in Septem-
Der, cultivated and the runners cut off as
fast as they show. They will make large
plants and bear abundantly of the larg-

OF ferti lizer, both require very rich soil to
do anything. Egg plant and tomatoes
grow any where. The tomato fails usual
ly in August, but if well fertilized and
sufficiently watered, often holds out all
summer.
Come to look over the list of perfectly
successful vegetables about all are in
cluded but the Irish potato which seems
attended by uncertainties. The last
three years, frosts have been persistent
in March. They must be planted in Jan
uary or February, if later heat prevents
formation OF tubers and even when
planted in due season they are sometimes
affected with rot.
All the vegetables may be planted now;
the hardy ones for fall and winter crop.
All cabbage, turnips, caulifower and
celery. The tender hot weather weather
plants, as beans, corn, tomatoes, Irish
potatoes, for fall crop. Cabbage may be
sown for three months yet, turnips for
longer and collards until April. Onions
are not sown much before November.

send for any of the seedmen scatalogues,

all lay much stress on new and expensive
kinds, one need not buy the high priced
new sorts unless he chooses. However
progress is the order of the day, and i'm
provement in one way or the other in
vigor, productiveness, or earliness, is 60
ing on year by year. and it is often q
good investment to pay fancy price for
q new sort. In this and may other
garden matters the catalogue is a good
teacher. D. r. PLsBRY.
