TRUNK LOCK BROKEN.
at Robbery Reported From
One of the HOtels.


What seemed, to have been an at
tempt at robbery of a trunk in the
Screven House was reported to the
police yesterday, but, on account of
the nature of the attempt, it is doubt
full if evidence sufficient to convict can
be secured and no arrest is expected
to follow.
One of the guests found that his
trunk had been forced open, the con-
tents rumpled and upset, but nothing
taken. The trunk is supposed to have
been taken out of the room in which
It belonged into another. where it was
endeavored to remove the lock by Dor
ing holes, probably with a penknife,
around the fastenings. This not prov
ing effective, the lock was forced.
AS nothing of the contents was stol-
en-, the police think that the object of
the search was money, of which there
was none in the trunk. The trunk was
returned to the room of its owner and
a revolver kept in a drawer is missing.
If it can be located. the police Will have
something tangible to go upon, but this
is not looked for.

FRUITS AND FLOWERS.

In setting out an orchard keep to-
gether all trees Of the same variety.
Good garden soil is good for pot
plants, but can be improved by the ad-
dition of leaf mold.
Weak rosebushes may often be made
to grow by giving them an occasional
watering with liquid manure.
One advantage with small fruits is
that they can be made to furnish q
supply long before trees come into bear
ing.
In planting border don't plant every
thing in rows. A row of hollyhocks,
for instance, isn't half as attractive as
irregularly placed groups that break
the outline.
With pot plants in general way too
little water Is better than too much.
The dropping leaves Indicating drought
are more easily remedied than yellow
leaves, the result Of being kept too
wet
In preparing pots for plants the
pieces of broken pots or crockery in the
bottom should never be omitted, as
without proper drainage the soil be-
comes sour, the plants languish and
the leaves become yellowish.

To Thread a Hair Through a Walnut

To pass hair through a walnut
without boring hole seems an impos-
sibility. but the feat has often been
done. The hull Of the walnut when
examined with strong glass is seen
to have innumerable small openings,
some of which lead entirely through
the nut. The trick consists In using a
very fine hair and an infinite amount
of patience. Pass the hair into one of
these minute crevices and urge 1t gen.
tIy along. Sometimes 1t will appear on
the other side at the first trial. but IL
it comes out at the hundred and first
you will be very lucky.
