Domesticated Ferns.

The lover of ferns will find 1t an
easy matter to domesticate many OF
the most attractive varieties If he or
she will be content to take young
plants. They should be removed from
their native haunts with a good
amount of soil adhertng to their roots.
Give them, If possible, a shady place
to grow in, and make the soil as light
as that in which they originally grew.
1t is we'll worth. while to get a wagon
load or two OF soil from the woods for
the especial use of these plants. In
lifting them wrap each in a deep bas-
ket, applying enough water to saturate
the soil clinging to the roots. Do not
plant them in the border until after
sundown. II the next day is sunny,
shade them well and shower them fre-
quently. In some instances most of
the old fronds wiz die off, but IL care
is taken In lifting and planting and
the necessary amount Of shade and wa
ter is given few OF the leaves will be
lost.-Eben e. Rexford in Lippincott's s
Magazine. :

Delhi is the most historic city In aD
india. 1t may not be the Oldest, al
though it lays claim to a respectable
middle age, dating from 1000 b. c. At
that time the master of Delhi called
himself emperor of all the world, and
emperors. at least of India, have ruled
there almost ever since. Old Delhi.
without the walls, is city Of pictTr-
esque ruins; imperial Delhi, the mod
ern city, was created by Shah Jehan,
contemporary of Queen Elizabeth. ,
From the date of the first Moham-
medan incursion. A. ID. T15, perpetual
warfare ragged round Delhi until at
length she yielded to the irresistible
power of the Moguls. The city was
alternately Mohammedan and Hindoo
during great many years and finally,
in 1903, was made British by General
Lake. Delhi has the finest and largest
mosque in India It took 5000 men six
years to build it. The noble tomb OF
the Emperor Humayan marks the
change of creed which followed the
Moslem invasion, while the observa-
tory of Jai Singh and the deserted hall
of the seventy columns recall the short
triumph of Brahmanism.

An Alabamian tells this story Of his
negro coachman who invariably voted:
On one particular election day he re-
turned home in the afternoon with a
countenance that looked as If it had
been taking some familiarities with a
buz7Saw.
"What's the matter, zack? / asked,

he turned over the leaves of the book.
All of a sudden he stopped turnin' anC

situated on an island west Of the Afri.

as aboundlng in gold, with magnificent
houses and temples, "the high towers
Of which shown at great distance" !"
The legend also relates that at the
time Of the conquest Of Spain and

habitants fed in every direction to es-

by a great number Of people. took to

gAe Natives Make Little Effort ea
Combat the Trying Conditions.
The Japanese winter is most trying
on account of it's continual dampness
but the Japanese are content to remain
cold. They make almost no effort te
overcome it. The old "bushido' (chiv
0lrous) idea of the ''samurai' (knights
was that it was effeminate to feel cold
and such is their severe training that
they do not really feel it as we do. The
wearing of some extra "kimonos" and
the use of a "hibachi" or brazier II
which are a few tiny sticks of lighted
charcoal are the only concessions tc
winter weather. With the 'hibachi"
they never pretend to heat more than
their finger tips, which they hold oven
the Goals. It is used when the house IL
entirely open.
The houses, as every one knows, are
built of thin, light wood, and the slid.
ing panels which serve for doors and
windows have paper panes. They art
az apt to be open as closed during the
day. The coolies wear thin blue cotton
clothes and are always padding
through the mud. The storekeepers sill
out in their open booths, and the wom'
en- go bareheaded about the streets. In
the houses Of the rich the still cold be
hind the closed panels is often more
intense than that outside in the sun
