ROTATION.

OF course the same vegetable should
not be grown year after year in the same
part Of the garden. A proper rotation is
Comparatively as important in the garden
as in the field. Investigation has shown
that beans, peas, and other legumes col
lcct nitrogen from the air and leave it in
the soil. 1t follows that deficiency OF
nitrogen may be supplied by growing
leguminous crops, and they may be fol
need nitrogen.
Among suggestions for rotation are the
following: Lettuce may be succeeded by
beans and tomatoes; beans by turnips,
radishes, or celery; peas by cabbage or
celery; beets by spinach, lettuce, or okra;
onions by turnips, peas, beans; cabbage.
okra, celery, squash, melons, or cucum-
bcrs by beans or peas; corn by melons,
cucumbers, squash, beans, or peas.

SPI IASTINa.

The time for transplanting from the hot
bed or cold-frame is usually soon after
the formation of the first true leaves.
The weather should be cloudy or rainy
and the ground into which the young
plants are to be put should be in the best
of condition. The earth should be
pressed closely about the roots of the
plants in their new place, and if the sun
comes upon them they should be shaded
with large leaves, shingles, or stones.
Small plants may be shaded with screens
folded from paper and held in place by
stones. If the leaves of The young plants
are clipped of about halfway back from
the point, the evaporation from them will
be lessened that much and the roots will
have an opportunity to establish con-
nection with the soil and secure ample
moisture before the full demand from the
leaves is renewed. BY this the plants
chances for living will be materially in
creased.
Some plants bear transplanting much
better than others, but any plant can be
removed from place to place at will if the
mass of earth about the roots be pre-
served nearly unbroken in the process.

DEPTH OF PLANTING,

The depth OF cover depends upon the
size Of the seed, its habits of termination
and early growth, the soil, and the season
OF planting. Planting too deep is a fre-
quent cause of failure to come up.
Warmth, air, and moisture are necessary
TO termination. Ia the Spring moisture is
usually abundant, while warmth is lack
ing. The soil Is warmest near the sur
face. Accordingly the cover should be
shallower than in Summer, when warmth
is abundant and moisture is lacking in
the surface soil. A clay soil admits air
and warmth less easily than does a
sandy soil. and therefore allows less COW
ering. Small, weak seeds should ksve
less cover than large, vigorous seeds.
Some kinds, as celery, must be merely
pressed into the soil, and have q little
sand or dust scattered over them.
Soaking tho seed may prove injurious
IL continued too long, but there is ad-
vantage In tho case Of kinds that are

MARKING THE ROWS.

Various devices have been suggested
for marking the rows for planting. A
roller, which will serve at the same time
as Il marker, consists OF @ smooth, hard
wood log with heavy rope secured firmly
about il ut distances corresponding TO the
int r, ais desired between the rows. When
plants or seeds ere to be dropped at
intervals, the places may be marked by
knots in the rope. A roller may be made
of "A drain tile by knocking off the collar
and filling the hollow with cement. When
a marker is not available, the row may be
opened with hoe. A line should be
employed to keep the rows straight and
parallel TO each other; the better results
will more than repay the extra trouble.

Nubar Pasha and the Pines.

Soon after the occupation of Cairo by
the British troops the late Nubar Pasha
took a prodigious fancy to the music of
the Black Watch and had the idea of
having servant taught the use of the

Writing of the lavish expenditures
of New Workers, Euretta Van Worst re-
calls in The Ladies' Home Journal a
dinner given in 1884 by man sof

astonished his most extravaganza asso-
clates as it was the most expensive feast
given up to that time.
"Delmonico, the helpful resource of

not know how to spend their money,
was at loss to know how to dispose of
this then fabulous amount upon single

had barely space to move about it. It
was long, oval table, round which a
massive wreath Of exquisite flowers was
laid, guarding miniature lake 80 feet

trivance, undulated gently, and on its
breast foated four living swans, a gold

Wax Battle1hiDa.

Comparatively few know that by the
English admiralty's orders perfect mod
els are made in parafin wax of every
new battleship before it is laid down,
and these models are tested in tank at
Haslar. The models are from IL feet to
"a feet long, and the tank is 400 feet
long and 30 feet wide. The models are
made of wax, because it is a material
which does not absorb water or change
it's weight, so alterations can be easily
made; also the material can be melted
up and used again.
Our naval authorities also have mod
els of all their bulls constructed, but
these are much more elaborate, being
formed of white pine and fitted with
rudders, false keels, propeller shafts and
all other necessary parts.-New York

DICKENS AND FRoEBEL.

What the Novelist Did For Child
hood-His Work For Education.
Froebel and Dickens, it is claimed,
are the best interpreters of Christ's
ideals Of childhood The philosophy Of
Froebel and the stories Of Dickens are
in perfect harmony The two great re-
formers protested vigorously against
the interference of informed ling adults
with the full development Of the indi-
yiduality Of the child They recognized
the divinity in each child SO fully that
they objected to all stamping and
molding processes by which its self
hood was dwarfed or warped. Other ed
ucators and reformers had considered
the problems Of human evolution from
the standpoint of the adult and had
asked, "What can we do to fit the child
for it's work?' Froebel and Dickens
asked, "How can we help the child to
grow by its own self activity p" They
were the great apostles of childhood.
They began the struggle for the free
dom Of childhood from the restrictive
interference of adulthood.
Dickens is commonly regarded merely
as an educational critic. This is mar
row and unfair view. He was great
critic. He aroused the Indignation Of
the civilized world against those who
treated childhood inhuman1y, and the
hatred of adult tyranny which he awak-
ened developed loving sympathy for
children. But he could not have so
clearly exposed the wrong in education
without having a definite conception Of
the right. He was the greatest destruc-
tive educational critic, but he was also
a most advanced, positive, constructive
educator. There is no great ideal Of the
"new education" which is not revealed
by Dickens in his novels or his miscel-
laneous writings.
Dickens was the first Englishman Of
note to advocate the Kindergarten. In
July, 1855, he published an article Of
II columns in Household Words, which
would take leading place if compared
with the papers read at a meeting Of
the International kindergarten union
today.-James L. Hughes in Century.

or "Winky' Young, professor of as
tronomy. His recitations were recently
held the first thing in the morning, and
he had to admonish the students in his
division to correct the fault Of tardi-
ness, which he claimed was increasing
in lamentable manner, and when one
Of the students explained that they all
studied SO late at night they were apt
to oversleep in the. morning he kindly
advised them to secure alarm clocks,
which he said were one of the most val
liable and useful inventions.
The next day nearly every student in
the class came into recitation with an
alarm clock in his pocket, which by pa
tient and united effort were set SO that
one would 60 off promptly at every sue
cessive minute Of the hour. The effect
can be imagined. Shortly after the first
student was called to recite one of the
clocks in the pocket of boy at the 9TH
er end of the room went off with a ter
rible clamor, and before it had finished
second in another part Of the room
made even louder racket.
There was brief interval, which the
professor utilized to call up another stu
dent, but the latter was scarcely on his
feet before the third clock went off, The
performance was continued for half an
hour or more, when the professor, who
had d keen sense of humor, recognized
the situation and cut short the fun by
terminating the recitation. The boys
explained that they had followed his
advice and secured alarm clocks, which
they were carrying around with them
because they were likely to fall asleep
at most any time.-St. Louis Globe
