The Tree-Killer.

One of the curious forest grcwths oil
the Isthmus of Panama and Lower Cen
trail America in general is the vine
which the Spaniards call matapalo, or
"tree-killer." This vine first starts in
life as a climber upon the trunks of the
large trees, and owing to its marvellous
ly rapid growth, soon reaches the
lower branches. At this point it first
begins to put out it's 'feelers" slender,
harmless looking root shoots, which
soon reach the ground and become as
firmly fixed as the parent stem. These
hundreds of additional sap tubes give
the whole vine a renewed lease Of life,
and it begins to send out its aerial
tendrils in all directions. These en-
Irvine themselves lightly around every
limb of the tree. even creeping to the
very farthermost tips and squeezing the
life out of both bark and leaf. Things

POINTERS ON FLOWERS,

Loosen the leaves and other winter
covering from about the hardy bulbs.
The beds for the summer plants may
now be thoroughly spaded and fertil-
lied, although the plants must not be
set out for some time to come-no mat
ter how tempting and balmy are the
April days.
Don't be discouraged II the garden Is
small; fertllize heavily now, and plant
closely little later, and with careful
planning surprising quantity Of flow
ers may be raised In even the tinlest
yard.
The crocuses are now In full bloom,
and many of the outdoor hyacinths
budded. But don't neglect them be-
cause them seem so perfectly hardy.
Keep evergreen boughs and straw con-
venient for light covering on cold
nights.
Now Is the time for planting and
transplanting hardy shrubbery. Pack
the earth firmly about the roots and al
low each bush plenty Of room to grow
See that all new varieties are carefully
labeled for future reference.
Remember that 1t is not too early to
olant the sweet peas outside the very
first day Of April and they should surely
be planted before the middle Of thii
month II they are to make good growth
and withstand the summer heat. Dom
be in hurry about planting Other
flower seed outside for some time t.
come.
The peonles are now sending up thicl
red stalks and sprigs Of green iris arr
forming thrifty clumps in the borders
Loosen the soil about the clumps, ther
spread dry leaves or straw over thu
loosened earth. This loosening of tn,
soil is very important, as the white
covering may become so packed ant
hard that the sprouting stalks canno
develop properly.

Why DO Lazy Mon Choose Hardest Of
Ways 10 Earn Living?

"There is one thing don't UNDER

that Is why 10 many men who are born
lazy take up fishing as n way of getting
o living. Now, take any town on the
borders OF the Adlrondacks, for In

or two, or even more, who live by flsh-
ing almost entirely. They fish morn
Ing, noon and night, all day long and
all night, too, sometimes, and then sell
their trout at 40 or 80 cents a pound.
They are tireder when night comes
than II they had been working their
farms. They have expended more
pounds of force than carpenter, or
even a blacksmith. The reflection OF
the sun on the water has blistered
their faces painfully, and the chances
are that they have eaten only a bit OF
bread and hard-bolled egg for lunch,
In the cold days Of early spring, just
after the season opens, they nearly
freeze, but ask one about II and no
