sucoessful Mellon Culture.

Watermelons are excessive feeders
and must have plenty Of plant food.
Here is the plan Of a successful grower
of melons given in The Orange Judd
Farmer. He says:
prepare the ground as for corn. Lay
off in rows IL feet apart each way.
dig hole about Il feet deep and per-
haps feet in diameter In the bottom
of this put peck or more of good sta
BILE manure, tramping it lightly. Next
put in layer of soil and follow with a
layer made up of equal parts of soil and
fine, rich manure thoroughly mixed, and
lastly, where the seeds are to be placed,
another layer of pure soil. Sow seeds
thickly and cover about one inch. When
the second or third leaf shows, thin out
to two or three plants in the hill. If ex-
ceptionally large melons, regular "prize
takers" are desired, thin to but one
plant in the hill. cultivate about as
do corn, hoeing each hill after entire
patch is plowed. If very dry, cultivate
often, particularly about the hills.

1t is comparatively new idea to put
up tombstones and monuments of glass,
instead of marble or granite, but it is 9
practical one and likely to meet with
great encouragement from those who
desire these memorials to DO lasting.
Glass resists the elements and is to all
intents and purposes indestructible.
Stone of all sorts crumbles and disinte-
CRATES under the action of the elements.
But glass remains and will endure fo1
centuries. 1t is, therefore, proposed that
all memorial tablets, monuments and
headstones be made of glass. Any color
may be selected, pure white. of course,
having the first choice. Lettering may
be put on in any style, and any device
or pattern may be used. 1t has long
been understood that for marine pur-
poses thick plate glass is the only prao-
tical and appropriate material, resisting
storms and seas as no other substance
can. New York Ledger.

PRAYING BICYCLES.

Japanese Attach Prayer Wheels to the
Hubs of Their Machines.
The bicycle is now employed to aid
the pious Buddhist in praying with
greater ease, but yet, as he hopes, with
great effect. 1t is from the ingenious
and enterprising country of Japan that
this new departure is reported.
The Buddhist has always done his
praying with the assistance of a wheel
The prayers are placed inside the Wheel
which turns round, following the di-
rection of the sun, and delivers up to
heaven the prayers of the owner, or of
all whose thoughts are fixed upon it.
Some enormous wheels are capable of
praying for thousands of people. This
mode of worship may seem somewhat
irresponsible to western people, but the
Buddhist, who is a subtle reasoner,
would be able to explain why it is sat
isfactory.
In various parts of the vast territory
in which the Buddhist faith is held
different motive powers are used in
these prayer wheels Some humble per-
sons turn the wheel by hand, but rot
if they can help it. On the hills of
Tibet, great stronghold of pure
Buddhism, the wheels are usually SO
built that the wind turns them. In 9TH
er places they are moved by water pow
err
But it is obvious that wind must fail
occasionally and that this may happen
when the Buddhist is particularly in
need of copious prayer. Water power,
too, is often lacking.
So the ingenious Jap now attaches a
small prayer wheel to the hub of his
bicycle, and when he takes ride be
combines worship with recreation. By
giving glance at his pedometer he can
tell just how much praying he has DONE
He can also keep an accurate daily rec
ord, which will enable him to tell after
number Of years just how much pray
er stands to his credit. In this way
Buddhism seems to have given a zest
to bicycling which no other religion
can supply. New York Journal.

BEARS THAT MIGRATED
Instances Of Their Gathering and March
ing AWAY TnUefhar

Instances Of Their Gathering and March
ing Away Together.
Manly Hardy writes to The Forest
and Stream about bears that migrated:
1.-THE first notice of these migrations
is to be found in book by John Josse-
Ign, entitled New England Rareties
Discovered, published in 1878. In this
book he says that great companies Of
bears sometimes travelled across what is
probably the Piscataqua river.
about 20 years ago. early in Septem-
Der, my father one night witnessed a
bear migration. The night was dark
one. The bears came to the east bank
of the Penobscot river in the town of
Orrington, about seven miles below Ban
gor. The bears could be heard calling
and answering each other till low water,
when they took to the water, swan
across and landed on the Hampden side.
In the morning it was found that a
large number had crossed. My father
saw their tracks across single plank
in shipyard.
again, about 80 years ago, a friend
Oh mine, Henry Clapp, who is quoted IN
Casinos Standard Natural History as
an authority on bears, told me that dur
ing the fall he had gone on trapping
trip, but had found few bears, till one
morning in November after snowfall
he found the tracks of nine different
bears, all headed up one little valley.
For several days after that more bear
tracks were found, all headed in the
same direction-from east to west. They
denned up when it came time to do so,
and in the spring headed east again.
1T is believed among sportsmen that
bears go back into the woods to den up
and come to the vicinity of the clear
ings every spring, but extensive migra-
tions by bears are as little heard of as
those of wild turkeys and prairie chick
ems. What naturalists do not understand
is how the animals, which usually scat
ter over miles of territory, know how,
when or where to get together for their
trips. -

that he could not read some of the deli

Borneo Marriages.

The marriage ceremony practiced by
the people of Borneo is short and sim
pie. Bride and groom are brought be-
fore the assembled tribe with great So
lemnity and seated side by side. A betel
nut is then cut in two by the medicine
woman of the tribe, and one half is
given to the bride and the other half to
the groom. They begin to chew the nut,
and then the old woman, after some
sort of incarnation, knocks their heads
together, and they are declared man
and wife.

POCKETS.

Thirty of Them Made In q Pair of
Brooches of the Year 1911.
Perhaps the best proof of the advance
of the Japanese in civilization is to be
found in their use of pockets. The PEG
pie of that country have usually six or
eight pockets cunningly inserted in the
cuffs of their wide sleeves. These peck
cts are always filed with a curious mis-
cellany. AS common as the Irvine in the
pockets of young Americans is the pray
er amulet written on sheets of rice pa
per and composed by the BONES. In &C.
cordance with their faith, these anu
let's are swallowed like pill in cases
of mental or physical distress. Another
essential seldom missing is number Of
small squares of silky paper. These are
put to unexpected uses, such as to hold
the stem Of lily or lotus, to dry tea
cup or to wipe away tear. Among the
Chinese and other nations pouch is
used instead of pocket This was also
the case in western Europe in the mid
die ages and for some time afterward.
The pouch was attached to the girdle,
along with dagger and rosary 1t was
called an aulmoniere or gipciere. 1t was
often ornamented with curious patterns,
gold and silk threads, coats of arms and
religious sentences. A dramatist of the
time of Henry VIII wrote:
From my girdle he plucked my pouch;
By your leave he left me never penny.
Brooches, however, had pockets at an
early date. In an old play written about
1911 it is mentioned that man had his
breaches plated as if they had 80 pock-
cts. But pockets did not attain their
proper position until the adoption of
the modern style Of mems garments.
With waistcoats great opportunity for
pockets presented itself. Later they were
made very broad and deep and were
covered with embroidery and buttons.
In the reign of George III waistcoat
pockets reached such size in England
that they became objects Of ridicule, SO
that they soon began to resume more
moderate proportions. New York Post.

Harlequin Cabbage Bug.

Entomologist Smith of the New Jer-
sey station says that the harlequin cab
bage bug is hard to kill, being proof
against emulsions and soaps. Kerosene
pure will kill it and kill the plant also.
The remedy recommended is to take adj
vantage of its love for mustard and rad
ishes and plant a trap crop of either OF
both in advance of setting the cabbage
plants. When bugs are found on these
spray them with the kerosene or, as the
creatures do not fly readily, they can be
beaten early in the day from the traI
plants into pans containing enough ker-
osene and water to drown them.
