johnny on tho Dachshund.

The dachshund is dog. He is very
short up and down. and very long
lengthwise. His forclegs are quite
crooked. which is a good thing for
him, because If they were Strengthened
up his shoulders would be about four
inches higher than the remainder of
him. The dachshund wears his ears
low down. He is quite docile, but pre-
fers the German language to any 9TH
er. 1t is amusing to see a dachshund
chasing his tail, which he cannot do
gracefully on account of not having
enough legs. II I had to be q dog ]

the dachshund emitted a frightful
scream. He had just found 1t out. A

Daffodil and
~Se Narcissus

What is the difference between q
daffodil and Narcissus?" is a ques-
tion often asked. The Journal Of Hor-
ticulture answers the question in the
following way: "DafYodils are all Mar
cissi, though all Narcissi are not Daf-
fodils. Only those Narcissi with trum-
pets longer than the length OF the Pc
rianth segments are properly daffo-
dis"
Under whatever name they properly
belong. however. they are always sweet
and lovely, although the common. old
time. homely name daffodil comes
sus. and carries a charm which the
other somehow seems to lack.
1t is recommended that daffodils ana
Narcissus should be cut for indoor
decoration when the buds are opening,
and the stalks should be left long. as
the flowers can then be grouped bet
ter, says Florence Beckwith in Vick's
Magazine. Put as many blossoms to-
gether as you wish, but each kind
should be In separate glass. Don't
bunch them; let each blossom have
room enough to show itself in all its
beauty.
The climate OF England is better
adapted to the growth of the dafYodil
than ours, and the "daffodil fever"
RACES there with great severity. The
flower is seen everywhere. In gardens,
streets and houses. Daffodil societies
exist and annual exhibitions are held
which people travel long distances to
attend. A kind of daffodil mania ex-
lists at the present time and some new
varieties command exorbitant prices
others no money can buy, as those who
own them are SO proud OF them.
In Ireland much land is devoted to
their culture. and the enormous guam
titles and the high values of choice
bulbs which can be grown on an acre
of suitable land are astonishing.
In our own country daffodils are be-
ing more largely cultivated every year.
In California they are being raised in
large quantities for the market and one
cultivator has gained the title OF "The
Lady Of the Daffodils,' from her sue
cess in growing them. A more charm
ing industry can scarcely be imagined.
| and 1t would seem that more women
might find congenial and profitable oc-
cupation in this line in suitable loca-

SALT LAKE Is VANISHING.
Scientists Declare Nothing viii Be
Left Of II In Fifty Years.

Within fifty years from the present
time the Great Salt Lake of Utah-the
most remarkable body of water of its
kind in the world-will have ceased to
exist. 1t will have dried up and it's
place will be occupied by an unattract-
i've desert, save perhaps for few irri.
gated farms.
Such, at all events, is the opinion of
biologists. Prof. w. ]. McGee Of
Washington remarked in cony yersation
the other day that half century was
an outside estimate for the survival of
the lake. He was inclined to think
that 1t would be dried up twenty-five
years from now. Already its waters
show signs of receding from the shores,
and causes are in operation which less
en- to a great extent the supplies fur
nished to this curious inland sea by
streams.
The lake Is about seventy-five miles
long by half that In greatest breadth,
being in shape somewhat irregular, and
is rather shallow. There may be places
where it has depth of as much as 100
feet. but over most of its area it is less
than fifty feet deep. The reason why 1t
is so salty is simply that it has no out
let save through evaporation, and the
streams during ages past have been
carrying salt into it.
The contributing streams are now be-
ginning to be utilized on large scale
for irrigating purposes, and thus the
customary water supply is being with
held to some extent from the lake.
Before long immense reservoirs will be
constructed in the mountains to hold
the storm waters during the rainy sea
son, in order that they may be con-
served and poured ont cyer the fields
In the dry time. Operations of this
kind, conducted so extensively, must
lower the level of the lake quite fast.
